Amit Shah tells Congress
Go find Rahul Gandhi
New Delhi: Delivering his
inaugural address at the
two-day BJP National
Executive in Bengaluru,
party president Amit Shah
said that the Congress
party "instead of spending
time and energy in finding
non-existent issues and
fictional fault against us
(the BJP), should focus on
finding their missing leader
Rahul Gandhi." BJP presi-
dent Amit Shah. AFPBJP

Notwithstanding the jibe
against the Congress, the
BJP seemed determined to
strengthen its bastion in
southern India. Choosing
the Karnataka capital,
where incidentally the
Congress is in power, is a
clear indication to that.
This is the party's first
National Executive meet
after Prime Minister
Narendra Modi and Shah
took charge in their present
offices.
The choice of venue was
done after due considera-
tion as Karnataka is also
the only big state in the
country where Congress
has its government.
Although elections in the
state are due only in 2018,
the BJP wants to send a
message across including
its political rivals that it is
mindful of its long term
interests and presence.
However, at the National
Executive meet the party's
immediate attention was
on the land bill which the
government failed to get it
passed in Rajya Sabha.
The bill was today re-prom-
ulgated for the second time
after President Pranab
Mukherjee gave his
assent, just a day before it
lapses. The general
acceptance among the del-
egates was that the contro-
versial land acquisition bill
has harmed the image of
the Modi government. The
NDA-led government at
the Centre would complete
a year in office in May.
Both the party and the gov-
ernment have been trying
to convince the country,
particularly the farming
community, that the
amendments brought out
by the Modi government in
the UPA made land law
were actually intended to
help farmers. However,
this is proving to be an
uphill task as some of the
NDA constituents besides
the opposition seem
unconvinced by the gov-
ernment's intent.
The moment the Centre
opted for the ordinance
route on a sensitive issue
like land acquisition with an
aim to build a favourable
public opinion later, the
opposition has been unit-
edly up in arms against the
government.
New Delhi: The President
of India, Shri Pranab
Mukherjee inaugurated the
Mid-Term Meet 2015 of the
National Interventional
Council of the
Cardiological Society of
India in New Delhi.
Speaking on the occasion,
the President said a
healthcare system, which
is universally accessible,
affordable and effective, is
crucial for a developing
country like India. To build
such a system, we require
robust healthcare infra-
structure, trained and moti-
vated personnel, and bet-
ter access to medicines
and equipments. There
are 7 hospital beds per
10,000 population in India,
compared to 23 in Brazil,
38 in China and 97 in
Russia. In terms of health-
care professionals, we
again lag behind the other
BRIC countries. There are
7 physicians per 10,000
population in India, com-
pared to 19 in Brazil, 15 in
China and 43 in Russia.
Though schemes like the
National Health Mission
have improved service
delivery, health services in
India still suffer from lack
of reach and constraints of
quality.
The President said India’s
public expenditure on
health is meagre. We fare
below our BRIC peers on
this count as well. India’s
per capita government
expenditure on health in
PPP terms is US Dollar 44,
as against 809 in Russia,
474 in Brazil and 236 in
China. Considering that
we are a sixth of humanity,
a significant rise in health
expenditure is urgently
required to ensure univer-
sal health coverage.
The President said a
health insurance mecha-
nism that can take care of
all is the need of the hour.
As per estimates, about
216 million people in India
or 17 percent of the popu-
lation were covered under
various health insurance
schemes as at end-March
2014. We need to do much
more to bring the uncov-
ered population under the
health security net.
Significant rise in health expenditure urgently required, says the President

The case of Purvi Patel
and the Criminalisation of
Pregnancy has got some-
thing to worry about. She
was convicted for neglect
of a dependent too and
sentenced to 20 years in
jail. The laws apply in a dif-
ferent way in US depend-
ing on the skin colour.
Other Americans may get
sentence but that is unper-
turbed compared to a black
or brown for the same
crime. Purvi Patel became
the first person in US histo-
ry sentenced to prison for
feticide for what the state
said was an attempt to end
her own pregnancy. While,
Patel says she had a mis-
carriage, delivering a still-
born feotus, prosecutors
accused her of taking
drugs to induce an abor-
tion, even though, no drugs
were found in her system.
Her defence says, there
was no evidence or trace
of the said drugs in her
body, but still court did not
try to find out the reason
behind her miscarriage.
They also used a discredit
test to claim the feotus was
born alive. Nowhere court
mentioned the duration of
pregnancy, however, Patel
told police that it was her
23rd week of pregnancy
that got terminated on its
own.
Ms. Patel comes from a
family of Indian immigrants
who settled in Granger,
Indiana, a suburb of South
Bend. In July 2013, she
went to a hospital emer-
gency room suffering from
heavy vaginal bleeding.
She denied that she had
been pregnant, but eventu-
ally told doctors that she
had miscarriage and
placed the stillborn foetus
in a bag and placed the
bag in a dumpster.
Abortion and foeticide is
common in India but done
in secrecy or to bias sex
ratios. It is perhaps crimi-
nal act when an abortion is
done to protect one’s hon-
our or to bias sex. No
woman should face crimi-
nal charges for having an
abortion or experiencing a
pregnancy loss, the cruel
length of this sentence
confirms that foeticide and
other measures promoted
by anti-abortion organisa-
tions are intended to pun-
ish not protect women.
If this woman has a psy-
chological problem then
whatever she has done
should be overlooked.
Abortion clinics should be
a fundamental right and be
available, but strangled by
the Christian conserva-
tives. If you claim to be a
progressive society, you
have to respect the rights
of a woman in property,
marriage, giving birth to
young ones. So, the law
should change as it clearly
violates these rights. And
the second thing is that,
abortion should not be
made illegal. Imagine a sit-
uation where a miscarriage
happens unintentionally,
as happens in many cases,
then should law punish that
woman? Or when a condi-
tion of a woman goes
worse and abortion can
save her life then you will
punish her.
20 Years in Prison for Miscarriage?
The settlement discussion went on for days. Regrettably,
hassles that were difficult to accept were rejected by both
sides. If there had been a more realistic compromise,
matters would have ended there. In retrospect, perhaps,
some of the leaders who had been through thick and thin
since the Anna’s movement could have shown more
realism and accommodation. However, this is easier said
than done. The voters of Delhi, who gave AAP a great
mandate, will also be “deeply hurt and pained” by what is
going on in the party. This party still doesn’t seem to be
cut out to shoulder great responsibilities. Next time the
Delhi electorates will certainly bear this in mind when
they will vote. I hope, the party will understand this and
organise themselves in a better manner. It is time that
party should frame rules based on its objects for register-
ing with Election Commission. It should conduct elec-
tions for internal democracy.
To keep AAP united, Chief of party Arvind Kejriwal will
have to face several challenges ahead. He received
mandate for the second time. People kept faith on him
and assigned such a big responsibility to him. However,
the one who was talking about the transparency are dis-
cussing about their leaders’ differences within a four
walls. They should solve the problem as soon as possi-
ble, before things go out of their hands. If Kejriwal fails to
resolve internal conflicts he may not get another chance.
Arvind Kejriwal has to be very careful and calculative as
every citizen and rival political parties are keeping close
eye on his every action. Aam Aadmi Party lead to a split
in its core leadership after party leaders accused
Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan of attempting to
remove Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal as its con-
venor. AAP is a one and half year old party born out the
great political churning (manthan) process. The fact is
that its leaders are not simply basking in the glory of
election win and looting (like BJP and Congress) but is
evolving its ideology and politics through intense battle of
ideas and views.
Kejriwal has many chal-
lenges to keep AAP intact

Even after 23 years, the saga of Babri
Masjid demolition continues and courts
are yet to punish the culprits and the con-
spirators. Supreme Court sought respons-
es from Bharatiya Janata Party leader
L.K. Advani and 19 others on an applica-
tion moved in connection with the drop-
ping of conspiracy charges and the fair-
ness of the CBI probe into the 1992 Babri
Masjid demolition case.
The notices have been issued on a plea
against dropping off conspiracy charges
against them in the Babri Masjid demoli-
tion case. The interim application by Haji
Mahboob, whose house was ransacked
after the demolition, cast doubts about the
efficacy of the probe by the Central
Bureau of Investigation into the conspira-
cy angle, especially with the party in
power being associated with the accused.
It alleged that the CBI is controlled by the
Home Ministry under Rajnath Singh while
Mr. Kalyan Singh is Governor of
Rajasthan.
On December 6, 1992, huge mob of
Hindu Karsevaks completely devastated
the 16th-century Babri Masjid in Ayodhya,
Uttar Pradesh, in an attempt to repossess
the land known as Ram Janmabhoomi
(the supposed birthplace of the Lord
Rama). The demolition happened after a
rally supporting the movement turned vio-
lent and resulted in several months of
inter-communal rioting between Hindu
and Muslim communities, causing the
reported deaths of at least 2,000 people.
Hindu, at large believes that, Ram
Janmabhoomi was the birthplace of the
God-king Rama, which is most sacred
and religious sites in the Hindu religion. In
1528, following the Mughal invasion of
North India, a mosque was built at the site
by the Mughal general Mir Baqi, who
came to be named after emperor Babur.
According to hearsay, Baqi destroyed a
pre-existing temple of Rama at the site;
limited historical evidence exists to sup-
port this theory. For several centuries, the
site was used for religious purposes by
both Hindus and Muslims. In 1859, soon
after the first recorded incidents of reli-
gious violence at the site, the British colo-
nial administration set up a railing to sep-
arate the outer courtyard of the mosque to
avoid disputes. The status quo remained
in place until 1949, when idols of Rama
were surreptitiously placed inside the
mosque, allegedly by volunteers of the
Hindu Mahasabha. This led to an uproar,
with both parties filing civil suits laying
claim to the land. The placing of the idol
was seen as a desecration by the users of
the Masjid.
The site was declared as disputed land,
and the gates of the Masjid were locked.
Since then, the angry Hindus were finding
an opportunity to rebuild Rama Temple by
demolishing Masjid.
How long Babri Masjid demolition saga will continue?
There was breaking news
on television that the ruling
Bharatiya Janata Party
(BJP) has become the
largest political party in the
world with its enrolment
drive in the past five
months taking its member-
ship to 8.80 crore. Until
now, the Communist Party
of China was considered
as the largest party with
about 8.60 crore members.
Actually, the enrolment
drive is a big hoax, if it
comes to prove the
authentication then it will
be a big challenge for BJP
to prove it or to publish the
data openly. By giving a
missed call or pressing few
buttons on the phone does
not prove the membership
strength for any party. If the
saffron party has undertak-
en the enrolment drive in
this manner then it is trying
to mislead the people.
Surprisingly, there are
many who had given
missed calls to almost
every party who had initiat-
ed this type membership, it
doesn’t mean he is a mem-
ber of all the parties.
In some cases, they
receive calls and are
asked to press the button
and get enrolled and in
some other case they
asked for a missed call.
However, we can give infi-
nite missed calls to any
numbers. To show the
missed call data, BJP has
provided prepaid cards
with minimum balance to
its call centre employees
who were having almost
no work after elections to
dial on the number. The
statistics shows that the
subscribers for prepaid
sim-card have increased
tremendously in last nine
months in India. BJP
should understand this,
unless they perform, it
won’t be helpful for them in
the next election. If BJP is
thinking that enrolled mem-
bers will vote them blindly,
then rude shock is awaiting
for them.
BJP’s membership drive under suspicion?

6. New Delhi: The Steel &
Mines Minister Shri
Narendra Singh Tomar aad-
dressing the media persons
in a press conference in
New Delhi said that as soon
as Mines and Minerals
Development and
Regulation (MMDR)
amendment act is notified in
about a week, the draft
Rules will be circulated to
the States and the new Act
will result into Simplification
of procedures and avoid-
ance of delay in the mining
sector. In respect of ten min-
erals in Part C of First
Schedule (like iron ore,
manganese, bauxite, cop-
per, gold, etc.), State
Governments needed to
obtain the prior approval of
the Central Government
before grant of mineral con-
cessions. The Amendment
removes the need for such
“prior approval” from the
Central Government, there-
by making the process
quicker and simpler.
Similarly, approval of mining
plan by the Government
would no longer be manda-
tory as a proviso has been
added under Section 5(2)(b)
permitting the State
Governments to devise a
system for filing of a mining
plan obviating need for prior
approval by the
Government.
On the question of the pen-
dency of applications for
renewals, the Mines
Minister said that to provide
a transition to the new sys-
tem, the Mining Leases
would be deemed to be
extended from the date of
their last renewal upto 31st
March, 2030 (in the captive
miners) and till 31st March,
2020 (for the merchant min-
ers) or till the completion of
the period of renewal
already granted, if any,
whichever is later. It is
expected that this would
immediately permit mines
that have got closed due to
want of decisions on their
applications for second and
subsequent renewals to
start their operations, sub-
ject to the necessary clear-
ances like forest and envi-
ronment.
The previous approval of
the Central Government will
not be required for grant of
mineral concession except
for Atomic Minerals and
Enabling powers for reser-
vation for the public sector
are to continue in the
Amended Act, Shri Tomar
said. The Amendment
removes discretion in the
grant of mineral conces-
sions. All mineral conces-
sions are granted by the
respective State
Governments. They will
continue to do so but all
grant of mineral conces-
sions would be through auc-
tions, thereby bringing in
greater transparency and
removing discretion. This
should also mean that the
Government will get an
increased share from the
mining sector. Unlike in the
1957 Act, there would be no
renewal of any mining con-
cession.

New Delhi: The Prime Minister, Shri
Narendra Modi, urged the Reserve
Bank of India to take the lead in
encouraging financial institutions to
set concrete targets for financial
inclusion over the next 20 years, to
help transform the quality of life of the
poor. "I come as a representative of
the poor, underprivileged, marginal-
ized and tribals; I am one among
them; I seek on their behalf and trust
you will not disappoint me," the Prime
Minister said, at the RBI Conference
on Financial Inclusion, which also
marked the completion of 80 years of
the Reserve Bank of India.
He encouraged RBI to set goals on
intermediate targets: of 2019, when
the country will celebrate the 150th
anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi;
2022, 75 years of independence;
2025, 90 years of RBI, and 2035, 100
years of RBI.
The Prime Minister said the success
of the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan
Yojana and the Direct Benefit
Transfer of LPG subsidy, had shown
the potential of the enormous role
that the banking sector can play in
ensuring financial inclusion.
The Prime Minister called for making
financial inclusion a "habit." He asked
banks to take inspiration from the
success of women self-help groups.
He asked banks to keep in mind the
requirement of youth who needed
either knowledge or skills. He also
gave the example of the soon-to-be-
launched MUDRA initiative in this
regard. He urged banks to come up
with creative financial inclusion
instruments to help prevent farmer
suicides.
The Prime Minister said that along
with economic and social parame-
ters, there is need to think of a geo-
graphical parameter as well for finan-
cial inclusion. He said eastern India
had immense economic potential,
and the banking sector should recog-
nize and plan for this.
Appreciating the role played by RBI
over the last 80 years, the Prime
Minister complimented the RBI
Governor Dr. Raghuram Rajan, for
his grasp and clarity on economic
issues. As part of the Make in India
initiative, the Prime Minister urged
RBI to take the lead in ensuring that
India starts to manufacture the paper
and ink that are used to print curren-
cy notes. The Governor of
Maharashtra Shri Vidyasagar Rao,
the Chief Minister of Maharashtra
Shri Devendra Fadnavis, the Finance
Minister Shri Arun Jaitley, and the
Governor of the RBI Dr. Raghuram
Rajan were present on the occasion.

New Delhi: The President of India, Shri
Pranab Mukherjee participated in the cel-
ebration of the 100th year of the advent of
the Divine Adya Mata organized by
Dakshineswar Ramakrishna Sangha
Adyapeath at Kolkata . He also inaugurat-
ed AdyapeathAnnada B. Ed. College and
an orphanage for boys on the occasion.
Addressing the gathering, the President
said he was pleased to see the numerous
activities that have been taken up in the
various centres of the Dakshineswar
Ramakrishna Sangha Adyapeath- particu-
larly the old age home, the home for wid-
ows, the charitable dispensary, the girls’
school, Sanskrit Mahavidhyalaya and
Teacher Training Institute.
The Adyapeath has never discriminated
against any religion or caste or section of
society. It is a symbol of communal har-
mony that has opened its doors to give
local inhabitants medical treatment and
spiritual succor.
The President stressed the need for
expansion of primary, higher and tertiary
education facilities in the country so as to
enhance opportunities of employment for
younger generation. He appreciated the
contributions of the Adyapeath in this
regard as well as its initiative to set up a
B. Ed College and give a home to thou-
sand orphan boys.
Referring to the golden era of education in
the country between 3rd Century BC and
12th Century AD when universities like
Nalanda existed in the country, the
President said students and scholars from
various foreign nations used to come to
India for higher studies. But after the 12th
Century AD, our education system started
losing its glory. The President said the
quality of higher education in the country
must improve. The 11th Five Year Plan
made provisions for improving the quality
of higher education in the country. India
has over 700 Universities (including 48
Central Universities), 16 IITs, 30 NIITs and
around 36,000 Degree colleges. Nearly 2
crore students participate in informal and
tertiary education. Despite these num-
bers, international education rating agen-
cies have not placed any of these institu-
tions within the best 200 of the world. The
President called upon educational institu-
tions to encourage innovations and
research by students.

AlShababseizehostages,kill147inKenyauniversity
Garissa, Kenya: Al Shabab gunmen
seized Christian hostages at a Kenya uni-
versity near the border with Somalia, in an
predawn attack that killed at least 147
people and wounded scores more.
The gunmen attacked a university cam-
pus in eastern Kenya early, clashing with
guards, forcing their way into dormitories,
taking hostages and singling out non-
Muslims, authorities said. Kenya's interior
minister, Joseph Nkaissery, said that 147
people had been killed, including four
attackers.
He contended that the deadly siege of the
university had ended, with security forces
carefully sweeping the campus for any
remaining threats. Kenyan security forces
surrounded the campus of Garissa
University College and clashed with the
gunmen throughout the day, eventually
cornering them in one dormitory, officials
said.
Abdikadir Sugow, the spokesman for the
Garissa county government, said the gun-
men were seen wearing "combat gear,"
including what appeared to be "either bul-
letproof vests or suicide bomb vests."
Al-Shabab, an extremist group based in
Somalia and affiliated with al-Qaida,
issued a statement through a radio station
it controls claiming responsibility for the
attack.
A spokesman for Somalia’s Al Qaida-
linked Al Shabab, told AFP the group had
taken non-Muslims hostage. He said
those seized were Christians. The
spokesman said their fighters attacked
the university early morning, began sep-
arating Muslims from non-Muslims and
started an "operation against the infidels."
The group said in its statement earlier in
the day that its fighters were still inside the
university. In 2013, Al-Shabab mounted
an attack on a Nairobi shopping mall that
turned into a four-day siege and left 67
people dead.
The Kenyan authorities offered a bounty
of 20 million Kenyan shillings (about
$215,000) for information leading to the
capture of Mohammed Mohamud, who
they said was the "most wanted" suspect
in connection with the university attack.
They said Mohamud was also known by
the names Dulyadin and Gamadhere.
President Uhuru Kenyatta issued a state-
ment extending condolences to the fami-
lies of victims and saying that he and his
government "continue to pray for the
quick recovery of the injured, and the safe
rescue of those held hostage."
The disaster operations center said that
four critically wounded people had been
airlifted to Nairobi, the capital, for treat-
ment.
Sugow, the county spokesman, said the
college "hosts students from all over
Kenya, of different religious and ethnic
backgrounds."
Augustine Alanga, 21, an economics stu-
dent at the college, said he had been
asleep in his dormitory when the shooting
began. Startled and afraid, he said, he
bolted from his room without stopping to
put on his shoes, and got cuts on his feet
as he sprinted barefoot across the cam-
pus and into a nearby forest.
GovernmentisCommittedtoImprovetheeaseofdoingBusiness-D.V.SadanandaGowda
New Delhi:
The Chief Justice of India
Justice H.L.Dattu said
efforts are on to see that no
court case would be pend-
ing for more than five
years. He was briefing
media persons along with
the Union Minister for Law
and Justice Shri
Sadananda Gowda after
the Joint Conference of
Chief Ministers of States
and Chief Justices of High
Courts and the earlier two
day working sessions in
New Delhi this evening. He
said efforts are also on to
see that the maximum life
of a case is not beyond two
(2) years. Justice H.L.
Dattu said the idea of
Morning as well as evening
courts, uniform policy for
the selection of Judges
across the country and
provision of uniform retire-
ment benefits for the
retired judges of High
courts were all discussed.
In addition the speedy judi-
cial process cases relating
to women harrasment,
juveniles, disabled persons
and senior citizens also
came up for discussion. He
called for increase in num-
ber of judges to tackle the
problem of pendency.
Shri Sadananda Gowda
said a continuous dialogue
should prevail between the
high courts and the con-
cerned states for sorting
out problems relating to
Judicial administration.
The minister referred to
Prime Ministers speech
delivered earlier in the
morning wherein, he said
the Judiciary should be
both "Sashakt" and
"Samarth" – empowered
and capable – to play its
"divine role" of ensuring
the rule of law and deliver-
ing justice to the common
man. Union Minister of Law
and Justice Shri D.V.
Sadananda Gowda earlier
reiterated the commitment
of the government to
improve the ease of doing
business. He said that the
judiciary had risen up to the
occasion by commencing
the establishment of com-
mercial courts at High
Court as well as district-
court levels.
He informed that significant
investment has been made
by the Central Government
in the justice sector. The
country today has more
court halls then the total
functioning courts. Almost
96% of the district and sub-
ordinate courts have been
computerised and are pro-
viding case information to
litigants and lawyers online
through the district court
websites. With the
increased devolution of
funds to the States by the
14th Finance Commission,
to the tune of of Rs.9749
crore States should
improve the justice delivery
system. He also offered to
make himself available for
discussions with the Chief
Ministers as well as the
Chief Justices of High
Courts to carry forward the
efforts to provide litigant
friendly environment in
courts and to eliminate the
long-pending arrears of
cases in courts.
