US-Russia forge deal on
Syrianchemicalweapons
The US and Russia on Saturday agreed on a deal that
calls for eliminating Syria's chemical weapons by mid-2014
though President Barack Obama warned the military op-
tion was still on the table if diplomacy fails.
The deal was hammered out after nearly three days of
intensive talks in Geneva between US Secretary of State
John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
Kerry outlined a six-point framework under which Syria
must hand over a full list of its stockpile within a week
and allow "immediate, unfettered access" to its chemical
sites.
Inspectors must be on the ground by November and
the stockpiles should be removed or destroyed by mid-
2014, he told told reporters at a joint press conference
with Lavrov after wrapping up their talks. However, Presi-
dent Obama warned Bashar al-Assad's regime against
using the talks as a "stalling tactic".
"And since this plan emerged only with a credible threat
of US military action, we will maintain our military pos-
ture in the region to keep the pressure on the Assad re-
gime," he said in his weekly address.
"If diplomacy fails, the US and the international com-
munity must remain prepared to act," said Obama, who
had been pushing for military intervention in Syria till Rus-
sia unveiled its surprise initiative to bring the chemical
stockpile under international watch.
After Russia this week proposed its plan, Damascus
filed an application to join the 1993 Chemical Weapons
Convention easing fears of a US-led military strike.
The US holds the embattled regime of President Bashar
al-Assad responsible for killing over 1,000 civilians in an
alleged chemical weapons attack in a Damascus suburb
on August 21. The Syrian government denies the allega-
tions. Kerry and Lavrov said if Syria failed to comply with
the agreement, which must be finalised by the Organisation
for the Prevention of Chemical Weapons, then a UN reso-
lution would be sought under Chapter VII of the UN char-
ter, which allows for the use of force.
"Providing this framework is fully implemented it can
end the threat these (chemical) weapons pose not only to
the Syrian people but also their neighbours," Kerry said,
referring to the deal he and Lavrov have worked out.
Kerry too said the US President reserves the right to
use military force in Syria. But Lavrov said, "There (is)
nothing said about the use of force and not about any au-
tomatic sanctions." He hailed the talks as "excellent" and
said it had achieved the aim set out by the countries' presi-
dents at the G20 summit. "The aim has been achieved
that was set in a conversation between our presidents on
September 5 on the sidelines of the G20... about putting
under international control Syria's arsenal of chemical
weapons," Lavrov said. Lavrov suggested there could be
another international peace conference on Syria by Octo-
ber. France, the only country willing to join the US in tak-
ing military action in Syria, welcomed the Kerry-Lavrov
agreement as a "significant step forward".
Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said it was an "impor-
tant advance". However, the military leader of the anti-
Assad Free Syrian Army rejected the deal and promised
to continue fighting. "There is nothing in this agreement
that concerns us," said Gen Salim Idriss, describing it as a
Russian initiative designed to gain time for the Syrian gov-
ernment.
MinoritiesDevelopmentinIndia
India is a democratic country where people of all
communityliveinpeaceandharmony.Allmajorreli-
gions of the world are found in India. As such, Hin-
dus are the majority community and the minority
community includes Muslims, Sikhs, Christians,
Buddhists and Zoroastrians (Parsis) as notified un-
dertheNationalCommissionforMinoritiesAct,1992.
Minorities are playing a very vital role in India’s
political and social upliftment, contributing signifi-
cantly in the development of our country. Govern-
mentsfromtimeto
time have formu-
lated programmes
and schemes for
socio-economic
upliftment of mi-
norities.
For this pur-
pose Government
of India created
the Ministry of
Minority Affairs,
which aims at em-
powering the mi-
nority communi-
tiesandcreatingan
enabling environ-
ment for strength-
ening the multi-racial, multi-ethnic, multi-cultural,
multi-lingual and multi-religious character of our na-
tion. It also aims at improving the socio-economic
conditions of the minority communities through af-
firmative action and inclusive development, so that
every citizen has equal opportunity to participate
actively in building a vibrant nation.
To facilitate an equitable share for minority com-
munitiesineducation,employment,economicactivi-
ties and to ensure their upliftment, Prime Minister's
New 15-Point Programme for theWelfare of Minori-
ties was announced in June, 2006. It provides
programme specific interventions with definite goals
which are to be achieved in a time bound manner.
The objectives of the programme are: (a) Enhancing
opportunities for education; (b) Ensuring an equi-
table share for minorities in economic activities and
employment through existing and new schemes, en-
hanced credit support for self-employment and re-
cruitment to State and Central Government jobs; (c)
Improving the conditions of living of minorities by
ensuring an appropriate share for them in infrastruc-
ture development schemes; and (d) Prevention and
control of communal disharmony and violence.
An important aim of the programme has been to
ensure that the benefits of various government
schemes for the underprivileged reach the disadvan-
taged sections of the minority communities. In order
to ensure that the benefits of these schemes flow
equitably to the minorities, the programme envisages
location of a certain proportion of development
projectsinminorityconcentrationareas.Theschemes
included in the New 15-Point Programme are as un-
der;
Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS)

Also acting on the Sachar Committee report, the
Government has initiated several measures as:
Universalization of access to quality education at
secondary stage called Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha
Abhiyan (RMSA).
One model college each would be set up in 374

was attractive provision for better teachers' salary, in-
creased assistance for books, teaching aids and com-
puters and introduction of vocational subjects, etc and
the other scheme which provides financial assistance
for Infrastructure Development of Private aided/un-
aided Minority Institutes (IDMI).
Academies for professional development of Urdu
medium teachers have been set up at three Central
Universities namely, Aligarh Muslim University
(AMU), Jamia Milia Islamia University (JMIU), New
Delhi and Maulana Azad National Urdu University
(MAANU), Hyderabad.
Also, the Government has launched the Multi-
sectoralDevelopmentProgramme(MsDP)in2008-09.
Theprogrammeaimsatimprovingthesocio-economic
and basic amenity facilities for improving the quality
of life of the people and reducing imbalances in the
Minority Concentration Districts (MCDs). Identified
'development deficits' are addressed through a dis-
trict specific plan for provision of better infrastruc-
ture for school and secondary education, sanitation,
pucca housing, drinking water and electricity sup-
ply, besides beneficiary oriented schemes for creat-
ing income generating activities. Absolutely critical
infrastructure linkages like connecting roads, basic
health infrastructure, ICDS centers, skill development
and marketing facilities required for improving living
conditions and income generating activities and cata-
lyzing the growth process are eligible for inclusion in
the plan.
The Ministry of Minority Affairs is also provid-
ing several scholarships to the minority communities
to empower them educationally and socially across
the country. These include: (a) The Pre-matric schol-
arship scheme. (b) Post-matric scholarship scheme.
(c) The Merit-cum-Means Scholarship Scheme. (d)
The MaulanaAzad National Fellowship (MANF). (e)
The Free Coaching and Allied Scheme. (f) Leader-
ship Development of Minority Women scheme. (g)
Grant InAid Scheme to State Channelising agencies
of National Minorities Development & Finance Cor-
poration.
In this way the Government of India is making
every effort for upliftment of minorities so that they
can stand with others side by side in all spheres of
life and live a dignified life.

BombayHCaskspolicetocomplete
probe in boy's death after surgery
Mumbai (AU NEWS NET-
WORK): The Bombay High
Court has directed the city po-
lice to complete within a month
the probe into the death of a boy
at a city hospital after he was
operated upon for a heart ail-
ment in November 2011. The
order was passed by the divi-
sion bench of Justices SC
Dharmadhikari and Gautam
Patel on Thursday after read-
ing a report filed by the dean of
the Government-run JJ Hospi-
tal in the case. Protection of
Rights Association, an NGO,
has filed a petition alleging that
medical negligence was respon-
sible for the boy's death. The
court asked the Samata Nagar
Police Station to complete the
probe and file final report within
30 days.
Krishna Dulani, the boy,
died at Fortis Hospital here on
November 13, 2011, following
a surgery for a heart ailment.
The cause of death was not
mentioned in the post mortem
report as results of some ex-
aminations were awaited. "His
parents have been running
from pillar to post but neither
police nor forensic lab at sub-
urban Kalina have responded,"
said advocateAniket Nikam, the
NGO's lawyer. "It is only after
the court's intervention that po-
lice filed an FIR last month," he
said. The petition seeks that the
forensic lab should reveal the
cause of death. The boy had
been operated for heart condi-
tion at a Delhi hospital when he
was 7-month old. In 2011, he
developed a breathing problem,
and a further surgery was ad-
vised.

GRAND MASTIReview: Grand Masti stakes its claim to being
Bollywood's first adult comedy. And, just like the in-
numerable puerile potboilers that India's dream fac-
tory churns out with a warning that says — leave
your brains behind, this one should have a disclaimer
that reads, 'Leave your pretensions behind'. Once you
do this, you can sit back and laugh aloud at the crass
jokes this film throws up at regular intervals.
College mates Vivek Oberoi, Riteish Deshmukh
andAftab Shivdasani have uncontrollable libidos, but
get very little sex in their married lives. Their mun-
dane existence stems from the fact that their wives
—- Karisma Tanna, Sonalee and Manjari Fadnis --
give more attention to work, the baby and family, in
that order.
But there appears to be someone listening to their
prayers. A college reunion gets them together. And
they fervently hope this would be their chance to
chase skirts and their fantasies. On campus, the men
reunite with an over-sexed teacher, Rose ( Maryam
Zakaria), a vacuous brunette, Mary ( BrunaAbdullah)
and Marlow (Kainaat Arora), whose names, when
pronounced together, beat most expletives.
A lot of double-meaning jokes, oohs and aahs re-
veal that the women in their lives are related to their
college principal, who lands up at the doorstep just
when the action is getting heated. Some more sexual
mayhem follows and before you know it, the irre-
pressible threesome is lying on hospital beds with
multiple fractures. They sheepishly vow never to
stray.
Riteish, Vivek and Aftab are comfortable in their
roles and even manage to say some of the most ter-
rible things with a poker face. The girls are not re-
ally required to act. While the wives are shown to be
particularly dumb, the temptresses with vacuous ex-
pressions and ample cleavage make the impact they
are required to (AU NEWS NETWORK)
Why is Katrina Kaif sidelined in

After her bikini-clad pictures with

by the media. Now there are rumours
that the actress is facing some tension
in her professional life as well.
There are rumours doing the
rounds that Dhoom 3 will allegedly be
Kat's last movie with Yash Raj Films
as her relationship withAditya Chopra
has apparently gone sour because she
is said to have declinedYRF's Gunday.
It is allegedly for this reason thatAditya

SALMAN KHAN COMES OUT IN
SUPPORT OF KATRINA-RANBIR
A friend in need is a friend indeed -
this phrase holds true for Bollywood su-
perstar Salman Khan, who always comes
out in support of his friends when they
are in trouble. Just when everyone in the
media thought that Salman Khan would
lash out at good friend and ex Katrina
Kaif after watching her latest bikini pic-
tures with current flame Ranbir Kapoor,
Salman Khan has surprised everyone and
in fact has come out in support of Katrina
Kaif over her bikini pictures with Ranbir
Kapoor at Ibiza.
Recently, the actor, in an exclusive
chat with Zoom, for the first time spoke
on the Ranbir-Kat bikini picture contro-
versy.
Salman in fact questioned the reporter.
"How would you feel if a pic-
ture of your sister,
mother or boyfriend
gets leaked in the me-
dialikethis?Andifyou
don't like pictures of
your family members
being publicly
leaked, even
Katrinawillnotlike
it. Doing some-
thing like this in
films is fine but exposing someone's
personal life publicly is not good and
it's not even media's right."
Salman feels, that it's very shame-
less to print such personal life pictures
of a celebrity, "There is no harm in
printing parties and public appearance
pictures but exposing someone's per-
sonal life like this is a shameless act,"
Katrina, who was recently spot-
ted at Salman's Ganpati celebrations
at his house, had written a letter to
the media after her holiday picture
controversy. The Dabbang star com-
mented on Katrina's letter to the me-
dia saying, "I feel it was intelligently
written." What's interesting here is
that Katrina's current love Ranbir
Kapoor couldn't defend the sexy
lass when it came to
handling media ques-
tions on the Ibiza pic-
tures. However, on
the other hand
Salman not only
showed his support
towards her but has
also expressed his
displeasure over the
entire controversy.

Challenges before Rajan, the New
Governor of Reserve Bank of India
Stabilising Rupee
20% Fall in rupee's value since
May 2013
More liquidity tightening
measures can choke growth by
companies borrowing
costs.
TamingInflation
9.6% India's retail
inflation in July 2013
A depreciating rupee
has made imported
goods costlier, but
raising interest rates to
cool prices will hurt
investment.
BoostingGrowth
4.4% India's real GDP growth
duringApril-June 2013
High lending costs have forced
companies to defer investment.
But a rate cut can weaken the
rupee as also push up inflation.
Rajan's Views
1.OnQuantitativeEasing
Given the uncertainty around it,
this raises the question of why
central bankers, for whom
"innovative" is usually an
epithet, have departed from their
usual conservatism."
2.On Economic Policy Making
Physicists do not need to know
the behaviour of every molecule
to predict how a gas will behave
under pressure. Economists
cannot be so
sanguine."
3.OnFreeEnterprise
andDemocracy
When carried to an
extreme, corporatist
policies lead to
fascism, socialist
policies to
communism, and
competitive populism
to economic crisis and choaos".
4.On Inclusion
Rather than assuming the poor
need an array of handouts, they
should be empowered to equip
themselves and their children to
become effective contributors.
5.On Central Bankers
If there is one myth that recent
developments have exploded is
the one that sees central bankers
as technocrats, hovering clearly
over the politics and ideologies
of their time. Their feet too have
touched the ground.

Exports up

India's exports climbed 13%
to $26 billion in August and
imports fell marginally as gold
imports stalled, helping trim
the trade deficit to just under

up the rupee. The trade deficit
in August was at its lowest

hail death penalty to four convicts
in December 16 gang rape in Delhi
The death penalty awarded to the four convicts in the Decem-
ber 16 gang rape and murder in Delhi has been widely hailed by
political parties and the civil society. Speaking to reporters in Mumbai
on Friday, the Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde said, the
judgment has set a new example by sending a message that culprits
committing such heinous crime will get stringent punishment. Leader
of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj tweeted that the
judgment will serve as a deterrent for such offences in the country.
Congress spokesperson Renuka Chowdhury said, it will send a
strong message to such people who commit crimes against women
and encourage those who fight for justice. CPI (M) leader, Brinda
Karat said, only giving death sentence is not enough in such cases
and there is a need to strengthen the law and conviction process in
sexual assault cases. She said the verdict is within the legal frame-
work. Delhi Police Joint Commissioner, Tejinder Luthra said, the
landmark judgment has sent a message of deterrence to criminals.

The offence committed by
Mukesh (26),Akshay Thakur (28),
Pawan Gupta (19) and Vinay
Sharma (20) falls under the rarest
of rare category warranting capi-
tal punishment, the judge said.
The four were convicted by the
court on September 10 for the
gangrape and murder of a 23-year-
old paramedic student. "Court
cannot turn a blind eye to such a
gruesome act," the judge said,
while handing down the maximum
punishment.
He said, "When crime against
women is rising on day-to-day
basis, so, at this point in time court
cannot keep its eye shut." "There
should be exemplary punishment
in view of the unparallelled bru-
tality with which the victim was
gangraped and murdered, as the
case falls under the rarest of rare
category. All be given death," the
court said while reading out a
portion of the order. "This is a time
when serious crime against a
woman has come to the fore and
now its judiciary's responsibility
to instill confidence among the
women," it said. Besides murder,
the four have been also con-
victed for offences including
gangrape, unnatural offences, at-
tempt to murder, dacoity, destruc-
tion of evidence, conspiracy, kid-
napping or abducting in order to
murder, while acquitting them of
the charge of murder in dacoity.

HC relief for doctor
who ran clinic in flat
Mumbai (DEV GAURAV PAWAR): Nine years after a city based
senior medical practitioner was targeted by the BMC for running a
dispensary from her residential flat, the Bombay high court on Tuesday
upheld a trial court order that no permission was necessary if the
clinic was less that 30 square meters or 250 sq. ft. Justice S.V.
Gangapurwala dismissed an appeal by the BMC against Dr. Rekha
Naik. The BMC had issued a notice to Dr. Naik in 2004 alleging that
she violated rules as no permission was taken for the dispensary she
ran from her Andheri Four Bungalows flat. She had been practicing
from the premises since 25 years. In 2007, a BMC order asked her to
move the civic chief to regularize the clinic. The trial court quashed
the order in 2011, after which the BMC moved the HC. Advocate P.K.
Dhakepalkar and Sanjay Udeshi, who represented the doctor, said

MUMBAI : (AU NEWS NETWORK) The
Lalbaugcha Raja, King of Lalbaug, is undoubtedly
the most famous Ganesh statue in Mumbai. The
mandal was founded in 1934, and has grown to be
the most visited one in the city.The Kambli family, of
KambliArts, has been making the idol since 1935. Its
legendary design is now patent protected.
If you want to see the lengths people are pre-
pared to go to for devotion, the Lalbaugcha Raja is
the idol to visit. It draws an average of 1.5 million
people a day -- astonishing! People simply believe
that this Ganesh idol can fulfill their wishes, and
there's a lot of media attention on it.
There are two main lines to see the idol: a general
line, and line for those wanting to make a vow or get
a wish fulfilled (navas). The navas line takes devo-
tees right to the idol's feet, whereas the general line
offers viewing (darshan) from a distance of around
10 meters away. Until recently, it was common for the
navas line to stretch snake-like for over five kilome-
LALBAUGCHA RAJAters. However the organizer has started providing
huge air conditioned tents in the adjacent ground
to accommodate everyone.
Location:Lalbaugmarket,GDAmbedkarRoad,
Lalbaug (central Mumbai).
Nearest Railway Station: Walking distance
from Lower Parel, Curry Road, and Chinchpolki sta-
tions.
Waiting Time: Can be 20 hours or more in the
navas line. General line takes around five hours.
When to Visit: It's open around the clock. How-
ever, the busiest time is in the evening until mid-
night. The procession for the immersion (visarjan)
starts out at 10 a.m. from the Lalbaug market on the
final day of the festival, and takes the following
route: Lalbaug, Bharat Mata Theatre, Lalbaug, Sane
Guruji Marg, Byculla Railway Station, Clare Road,
Nagpada, Dunkan Road, Don Taki, Sant Sena
