Pakistan detains Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi for 3 more months

A day after Pakistan's anti-terrorism court granted bail to Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, a key planner, facilitator and executer of the November 26 Mumbai attacks, the government detained him under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) rules for three more months at Rawalpindi's Adiala Jail on Friday.

The government has also decided to challenge the decision of Lakhvi's bail approval in the high court. "I will challenge the bail approval in Islamabad High Court on Monday," said Muhammad Azhar Chaudhry, government's prosecutor in the Mumbai attacks case.

Lakhvi's bail plea was accepted by the anti-terrorism court on Thursday and had set surety bonds of Rs 500,000 ($5000) for his release. He, however, was not released and the government on Friday ensured his detention under MPO, Chaudhry said. His arrest order under MPO came from the interior ministry, a jail warden confirmed.

While New Delhi strongly reacted to Lakhvi's bail release, the decision was also widely condemned on social media in Pakistan.

India slams Pak's selective stand on terror


The timing of the decision was controversial as it came two days after the bloodiest incident of school carnage in Peshawar.



Lakhvi is among the seven persons charged with planning and helping carry out the 2008 Mumbai attacks that killed 166 people during a 60-hour siege in November 2008.

The seven accused - Lakhvi, Abdul Wajid, Mazhar Iqbal, Hamad Amin Sadiq, Shahid Jameel Riaz, Jamil Ahmed and Younis Anjum - are facing trial at the Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi.




Parliament condemns bail to Lakhvi

India on Friday rejected Pakistan's contention about insufficient evidence against Mumbai attack mastermind Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi and asked it to ensure reversal of bail granted to him as Parliament expressed outrage over the development and condemned it.

As members raised the issue in Lok Sabha, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the bail granted to Lakhvi on Thursday has come as a "shock" to all those who believe in humanity worldover, particularly after every Indian shared the pain of the massacre of Pakistani children in Peshawar on Tuesday.

The Lok Sabha adopted a quickly-drafted resolution condemning the bail granted to Lakhvi and asked the government to take "all steps in its power, including through its relations with foreign countries, to put pressure on Pakistan to bring this matter to a satisfactory conclusion."

As the House stood as one on the issue sinking differences, Modi said India immediately conveyed its sentiments in the "strongest terms" to Pakistan and the future actions will take into account the agitated feelings expressed by the MPs.

Referring to the massacre in a school in Peshawar, he said, "The pain felt in India was no less than that felt in Pakistan. Every Indian had tears in eyes... But immediately after that this kind of behaviour has come as shock to all those who believe in humanity."

He assured the House that the sentiments expressed by the members will be reflected in government's actions on the issue.

Immediately after, external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj made a statement, saying, "We reject this argument that there is lack of adequate evidence."

She said by allowing bail to Lakhvi, Pakistan has made mockery of its pledge to fight terrorism "without any condition or discrimination" and asserted that Pakistan should immediately get this decision overturned.


PAKISTANI's are also good

99% Pakistanis are good people
 Sometimes I am really sad on reading your comments on fb.
 I have repeatedly said that 99% Pakistanis ( like 99% Indians ) are good people.
 In response some of you furiously attacked me, saying that we can never be friends with Pakistanis, that they are barbarians and terrorists, that they never sympathised with the 26/11 killings in Mumbai, that they persecute Hindus, Christians, etc, some asking where did I get the statistic of 99%, etc 
 I told you that I am a humble disciple of the great French thinker Rousseau, and my teacher taught me that men are good by nature, and my experience in life has confirmed the truth of Rousseau's statement. I found from my 69 years experience in life that 99% people are good.
 However, my teacher also said that good people are often corrupted by society and wicked people, and that is why some Pakistanis do bad things ( like some Indians ).
 As for statistics, these can always be manipulated. So I often do not rely on them,but choose to rely instead on my own experience in life.
 So I often get sad and exasperated when you people make such silly comments.
 I am your teacher, who wishes to teach you the truth and good things. I am your teacher not because I am inherently superior in intellect to you ( I am sure that when you reach my age many of you will become far superior to me ), but because of the knowledge I have acquired after tremendous study and reflection over half a century 
But when you people do not understand what I say even after I have repeatedly and patiently explained all this to you I sometimes feel that I am wasting my time, and that you are unworthy pupils who will never learn.
 But then I think, these are good people whose minds have been brain washed by decades of false propaganda, so i must continue to be patient and not loose my cool, and must continue patiently explaining the truth. It is because I really love you and am really concerned about your welfare that I continue on this path. Otherwise I would have abandoned you long ago, and retreated into silence and solitude. After all, I am not getting any personal benefit by teaching you, and often even get brickbats.

जापान के डॉ. तोमियो ने बताया हिंदी ज्ञान का राज

उसे देखा और हिंदी सीखने की इच्छा जाग उठी.!
जापान के डॉ. तोमियो ने बताया हिंदी ज्ञान का राज
हमारी राजनयिक भाषा जापानी
उन्होंने उतने ही दु:ख से इस बात को रेखांकित किया जितना कोई भारतीय कर सकता है कि भारत की राजनयिक भाषा हिंदी नहीं बन पाई है. यहां अंग्रेजी में लिखे संविधान को अधिक विश्‍वसनीय माना जाता है. यदि कोर्ट में किसी फैसले की दो प्रतियां मौलिक मानी जा रही हो तो उसमें भी अंग्रेजी की प्रति अधिक सही मानी जाती है. जबकि हमारे यहां की राजनयिक प्रति जापानी भाषा में है. जापानी छात्रों का हिंदी नाटक
उन्होंने बताया कि ओसाका के प्रधान भारतीय कोंस्लावास के माध्यम से भारतीय सांस्कृतिक सम्बंध परिषद को अनुरोध पत्र लिखा. उत्तर मिला कि जापान में प्रस्तुत हिंदी नाटक का वीडियो भेजें, राष्ट्रीय नाट्य विद्यालय के मूल्यांकन के अनुसार फैसला होगा. सो, हमने अपने नाटक 'प्यार कैसे होता है' का वीडियो भेजा. काफी देर तक कोई उत्तर नहीं आया था, इसलिए हम आशा छोड. चुके थे. लेकिन जब भारत सरकार से औपचारिक स्वीकृति का उत्तर मिला तो मारे खुशी के फुले न समाए . इस प्रकार राष्ट्रीय नाट्य विद्यालय का आमंत्रण पाकर 23 दिसंबर 1997 से जनवरी 5 1998 तक ओसाका विश्‍वविद्यालय के इच्छुक छात्रों के हिंदी नाटक दल ने पहली बार भारत के चार शहरों (दिल्ली , वाराणसी, आगरा तथा मुंबई )में दो हिंदी नाटक (उक्त प्यार कैसे होता और राजेंद्र शर्मा कृत हास्य नाटक परदा उठने से पहले ) का मंचन करके भारतीय दर्शकों का दिल जीत लिया था. यह जापान की हिंदी नाटक मंचन की परंपरा के लिए एक महत्त्वपूर्ण ऐतिहासिक घटना थी. विदेशों में मंचन करने का यह सिलिसला 2007 तक हर साल चलता रहा और इस बीच कुल मिलाकर भारत समेत छह देशों और 38 शहरों में 79 बार मंचन हुआ था . स्वरांगी साने। पुणे, 16 दिसंबर
विदेशी पर्यटक की तरह उनके गले में भी कैमरा था और जिस जगह वे जाते उसकी तस्वीर कैद कर लेते थे. उनकी भाव-भंगिमा, कद-काठी और चेहरे-मोहरे से कोई भी कह सकता था कि वे जापानी हैं. लेकिन उनकी हंसी हर किसी को अपनी-सी करने वाली थी. जापान के 72 वर्षीय डॉ. तोमियो मिजोकामि से बात करना बहुत आसान है. बिना किसी दुभाषिए के आप उनसे बात कर सकते हैं इसलिए नहीं कि उन्हें अंग्रेजी आती है बल्कि इसलिए कि उन्हें हिंदी भी आती है.
ओसाका यूनिवर्सिटीज ऑफ फॉरेन स्टडीज में उन्होंने हिंदी के सैकड.ों छात्रों को तैयार किया है. उन्हें न केवल हिंदी बल्कि पंजाबी, बांग्ला, संस्कृत, अंग्रेजी और जापानी भाषा आती है. तिलक महाराष्ट्र विवि गुलटेकडी में भाषण देने आए मिजोकामि ने लोकमत समाचार से लंबी बातचीत की.
ओसाका विश्‍वविद्यालय के छात्रों द्वारा डॉक्टर योगी रचित नाटक 'हिंदी क्यों पढ.ते हैं?' का मंचन विवि में किया था, जिसका मार्गदर्शन मिजोकामी ने किया. उनसे पहला सवाल यही पूछा कि आपने हिंदी क्यों पढी? इस पर उन्होंने बताया कि मेरा जन्म पश्‍चिम जापान के दूसरे बडे. शहर कोबे में हुआ. यह टोकियो से 500 किमी की दूरी पर है. इस शहर में भारतीयों की संख्या सबसे ज्यादा है. किशोरावस्था में एक दिन मैंने एक सुंदर सी महिला को साडी पहने सड.क से जाते देखा. मुझे उसकी वेशभूषा और भाषा मनमोहक लगी. मैंने तय किया कि इस भाषा को सीखना है. तब पं. जवाहर लाल नेहरू का भी विश्‍व भर में रुतबा था. उनकी प्रेरणा ने भी मुझे हिंदी की ओर आकृष्ट किया.
चार साल का डिग्री कोर्स और फिर दो साल के पोस्ट डिग्री कोर्स ने हिंदी व्याकरण तो सीखा दी, लेकिन उसका सही इस्तेमाल करने के लिए ज्यादा से ज्यादा बोलना जरूरी था. मैं भारतीयों के साथ रहने लगा और हिंदी का अधिकतम प्रयोग करता रहा. उनका कहना था ,अंग्रेजी आप जरूरत के लिए सीखते हैं, लेकिन जो भाषा कौतुहल और जिज्ञासा के लिए जानी जाती है वो मान-सम्मान, प्रतिष्ठा दिलाती है. मैंने लाल बहादुर शास्त्रीजी को इंदिरा गांधीजी को बहुत करीब से देखा क्योंकि मैं हिंदी जानता था और वे हिंदी को जानने वालों की कद्र करना जानते थे. हिंदी आ गई तो भारत आने की भी इच्छा हुई. सबसे पहले 1965 में इलाहाबाद आया. वहां इतनी सुंदर हिंदी सुनकर मन प्रसन्न हो गया. पुणे में ही मैं 5-6 बार आ चुका हूं. मुझे याद है 1999 में बाल गंधर्व रंग मंदिर में हमने हिंदी नाटक प्रस्तुत किया था और मंचन हाउस फुल था. दूसरे दिन उसी रंग मंदिर में मराठी नाटक था वो भी पु.ल. देशपांडे का, लेकिन हॉल आधा ही भरा था. वो अभिभूत होने का क्षण था कि जापानियों की हिंदी ने लोगों को अपनी ओर खींचा था. मेरे द्वारा किए गए हिंदी शिक्षा में नाटकों के प्रयोग को सारी दुनिया में सराहा गया यह मेरे लिए बहुत बडी बात है. उन्होंने बडी विनम्रता से कहा कि हाल में प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी की जापान यात्रा के समय मैंने उसने हिंदी में बोलने का आग्रह किया जिसे उन्होंने स्वीकार भी किया. कभी जापान देशभक्ति के लिए जाना जाता था. इस पर डॉ. मिजोकामि ने कहा, अब सारी दुनिया के युवा एक जैसे हो गए हैं-निर्मोही.

Dry Eye Syndrome

Dry Eye Syndrome

                         Dr Devesh Sharma, Cornea Expert, Amritsar Eye Clinic

Dry Eye Syndrome affects more than 100 million people around the world. However, many

people commonly don’t know that they are suffering from Dry Eye. People come to

ophthalmologists complaining of decreased vision, cataract or other eye related infections and

are surprised to know that they have dry eye syndrome. This is caused by inefficient tear

production or excessive evaporation, causing mild discomfort like irritation, pain and feeling of

something in eyes. If left untreated for long, may lead to increased risk of infection and visual

impairment. It is considered as a growing health issue which increases with age, so number of

people affected y Dry Eye Syndrome will increase in coming years as population ages. The

condition thereby adversely affects employees’ productivity.

What is Dry Eye Syndrome?

Dry eye syndrome is a chronic insufficiency of moisture in the eye. Its consequences range from

subtle but constant irritation to severe disturbance in day to day activity.

Tears moisten the eyes. They are much more than just water. They're a complex mixture of

water, fatty oils, proteins, electrolytes, bacteria-fighting substances and growth factors. This

mixture helps make the surface of your eyes smooth and clear. Without it, good vision is

Symptoms of dry eyes may include:

 A stinging, burning or scratchy sensation in your eyes

 A sense of a sand grain in your eyes

 Strings of mucus in or around your eyes

 Eye fatigue after short periods of reading

 Feel better with eyes closed

Dry eye syndrome has several causes. For some people, the cause of dry eyes is an imbalance in

the composition of their tears. In others its insufficient tears to keep the eyes comfortably

lubricated. Medications and environmental factors, also can lead to dry eyes.The common causes

1. Living in a dry, dusty or windy climate.

2. As a part of the natural aging process, especially during menopause.

3. As a side effect of many medications, such as antihistamines, antidepressants, certain 

   blood pressure medicines and birth control pills.

4. Another cause is insufficient blinking, such as when you're staring at a computer

5. Dry eyes are also a symptom of systemic diseases such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis,

    rosacea or Sjogren's syndrome.

6. Long-term contact lens wear is another cause.

7. Certain eye conditions may cause eyes to feel dry and scratchy, like in blepharitis, an

    inflammation along the edge of the eyelids.

For most people who have dry eyes, it's a chronic condition. The goal of treatment is to make the

symptoms as less as possible. Effective treatment begins with a careful examination to determine

which factors may be causing your symptoms. The goal of treatment is to keep your eyes moist.

This can be done in a couple of ways:

Artificial tears: These are lubricating eye drops that may reduce the dry, scratching feeling.

Preserving tears: This can be done by partially or completely closing the tear ducts, which

normally serve to drain tears away. The closure conserves both your own tears and artificial tears

Medications: Dry eyes caused by problems with the meibomian glands and blepharitis generally

respond to specific treatment for the same.

Simple care at home can make these patients feel better, like

Avoid direct air currents - Don't direct hair dryers, car heaters, air conditioners or fans toward

Wear protective glasses while going out- Good quality sunglasses protect eyes from the harsh

UV radiations from falling directly into your eyes.

Use home humidifiers - In winter, a humidifier can add moisture to dry indoor air. Some people

use specially designed glasses that form a moisture chamber around the eye, creating additional

Remember to blink - While working on computers, consciously blink. It helps spread your own

Speeches on honesty should not be mere eye wash

To

Sri Narendra Modi, 13.12.2014

The Honorable Prime Minister,

Government of India,

New Delhi.

Respected Sir,

We congratulate you on your accomplishments and efforts to reach national goals without any

hesitation. But we believe that sometimes you are carried away by irrational influence of some

people. We urge you to exercise greater caution and discretion before deciding on the course of

action.

Without that caution and discretion your motto of honesty would appear hollow and deceptive.

This is especially so in the case of Andhra Pradesh State where you are agreeing to anything that

the leaders suggest without an iota of doubt.

Take for example, the case of government employment. The going rate for the lowest position

of 'shift operator' post in electricity department is a bribe of three (3) lakh rupees or more. It is

commonly known that postings to some positions in any department are made purely based on

money transactions. All this does not fit well with the image of cleanliness that your government

projected.

Sir, Andhra Pradesh is one of your favoured state administrations. We request you not to be

carried away by the influence of wrong doers.

With regards,

Yours sincerely,

J.V. Ramana Reddy,

S R Sankaran Grama Chaitanya Kendram,

Kommaneturu colony, Gudur Mandal,

Nellore District, Andhra Pradesh – 524 406

MACHIL CASE LEGAL DEFENCE COMMITTEE

MACHIL CASE LEGAL DEFENCE COMMITTEE – 2



“IS OUR ARMY BEING DEFEATED BY OUR OWN GOVERNMENT?”

By Lt Col CR Sundar, Tamil Nadu State President, Sainik Samaj Party

          In all 17 lives were lost in multiple fidayeen attacks carried out by Pakistani militants on 5 Dec 2014 at Uri in Jammu & Kashmir. Eight of them including a Lt Col, were army men. Understandably the rank and file of the army are seething in anger.

          For long there has been a total dissatisfaction all around on the quality of men who have managed to rise to high ranks in the armed forces. Fingers have been pointed over and over again on the performance of corps commanders and army commanders, particularly in Jammu & Kashmir, right from the days of the Kargil War of 1999.

          The reasons for this present Uri debacle is being placed squarely on the laps of the Army Commander Northern Command and the 15 Corps Commanders under him. The men are accusing them of over cautiousness. They are blaming the tight operational restrictions placed on them in the actual war like situation which exists there. They feel their hands are tied. Above all they fear that the senior officers will throw them to the wolves to save themselves.

          Some army spokesmen have stated that the attack on 31 Artillery Regiment came at 3 am at which time there is no civilian movement and soldiers were free to open fire. This argument is vacuous.

          Could it not have happened that suspicious movements of these terrorists were noted by some jawans or police men on previous day(s) and let pass because they did not want to ‘stick their necks out’? If they had been confident of support of the top brass their actions could have averted the Uri tragedy.

          The way these two general officers have conducted themselves of late has gone to make it clear that if there is public outcry against the action of troops they cannot expect the generals to back them even if such actions were correct. This message has emerged clearly from recent events.

          On 3 Nov 2014 two Kashmiri young men, probably fidayeen, crashed through two check points near Chattergam village in Anantnag district of South Kashmir. In an attempt to stop them the men of 53 Rashtriya Rifles manning the next check point, which had been erected in connection with the Prime Minister’s visit, shot at the car. In the resulting accident the gate crashers died.

          The army ordered a court of inquiry which promptly and illogically found nine soldiers culpable. It does not take much to realize that this finding was solely for the sake of quelling protests. This was followed by the army commander and the corps commander publicly admitting that ‘the army had made a mistake’.

          Days later on 13 Nov 2014 a summary-general-court-martial (SGCM) sentenced five army men, including two officers, for killing three ‘innocent’ Kashmiris in what has come to be known as the notorious Machil Case. It is believed that the proceedings of that SGCM are awaiting confirmation and are at present resting on the table of the self same army commander who publicly apologized in the Chattergam incident.

          Knowing his ‘political’ outlook it is easy to guess how he will wield his confirmation powers. If he does what we think he will do and ‘plays to the gallery’ all initiative will be sucked out of the troops and they will be mere gun fodder in the designer war being carried out by Pakistan.

          The point is Indian generals should not play politicians. They are neither trained to do so nor or they paid for it. And if they do they will defeat the Indian Army.

          Now, there is only one way to restore the professional confidence of army men despite the feeble generalship we are blessed with, and that is to look seriously towards the Machil Case. Once the proceedings of the Machil Case are confirmed those who are convicted are sure to appeal in civil courts.

          It is then that we should provide them with moral, physical and financial support so that they make a strong defence case with the best lawyers. Simultaneously we should raise such a hue and cry till we draw the attention of the courts and they take a serious view and find ways to provide swift and imminent justice to the affected soldiers.

मेथी का सेवन बहुत लाभदायक आयुर्वेद के अनुसार

आयुर्वेद के अनुसार डाइबिटीज व मधुमेह में मेथी का सेवन बहुत लाभदायक माना गया है। मेथी को भारतभर में आमतौर पर सेवन किया जाता है। यदि मेथी की सब्जी लोहे की कढ़ाही में बनायी गई तो इसमें लौह तत्व ज्यादा बढ़ जाती है। एनीमिया यानी खून की कमी के रोगियों को यह बहुत फायदेमंद है। किसी भी व्यक्ति की कैल्सियम की दिनभर की जरूरत 400 मि. ग्राम कैल्सियम मिल जाता है। विटामिन ए और सी भी मेथी में खूब रहता है। ये दोनों विटामिन मेथी दानों की तुलना में मेथी की सब्जी में ज्यादा होते है। साधारण मेथी चम्पा व कसूरी मेथी। मेथी व मेथी दाना डाइबिटीज रोगियों के लिए बहुत अधिक लाभदायक है।

गीली हल्दी के सेवन के लाभ

इन दिनों बाज़ार में गीली हल्दी उपलब्ध होती है जो दिखने में अदरक की तरह होती है . इसके सेवन के कई लाभ है ----
- इसमें करक्यूमिन होता है जो केंसर से लड़ता है . इसलिए केंसर के रोगी इसका रस सुबह खाली पेट अवश्य ले.
- यह बुढापे से दर रखता है . अंदरूनी चोटों को भी ठीक करता है.

फटी एड़ियो का उपचार

शरीर में उष्णता या खुश्की बढ़ जाने, नंगे पैर चलने-फिरने, खून की कमी, तेज ठंड के प्रभाव से तथा धूल-मिट्टी से पैर की एड़ियां फट जाती हैं। यदि इनकी देखभाल न की जाए तो ये ज्यादा फट जाती हैं और इनसे खून आने लगता है, ये बहुत दर्द करती हैं। एक कहावत शायद इसलिए प्रसिद्ध है- जाके पैर न फटी बिवाई, वो क्या जाने पीर पराई।

SSP Lucknow Office: Declined to receive letter after reading it

Nutan Tsunami Thakur :  Yesterday 04 August 2014, when I presented two sealed envelopes before the confidential office of SSP Lucknow at Sapru Marg, the policeman present there opened the seal, went through the letters and returned them back when he found them to be complaints against policemen.

I was shocked to read the said article which is wrong on facts as well as law : Dina Nath Batra

To,

The Editior,

Times of India,

Delhi

Sir,

I have read the Editorial written by you in your newspaper, The Times of India dated 2/08/2014. I was shocked to read the said article which is wrong on facts as well as law. The said article is defamatory, derogatory, insulting and paints me in bad light. The taunting and sarcastic tone and tenor of the said article is writ large on the face of it. The entire article attributes many things to me which in fact I have not written.

arrogance of bosses and colleagues only spoils the environment, creates resentment, tensions

Jagdish Singh : In one of the offices, I have worked, I suggested to my boss, to devise and distribute forms, in which subordinates will give us their views about seniors. He disagreed totally, saying that govt. doesn't require us to do that. On being told that this will b only internal and will give us a chance of self appraisal and self improvement. He replied, he can anticipate that he himself will be called arrogant and uncivil. On being asked, then why he doesn't try to mend his ways, he said it brings respect and discipline.

Rejuvenate Yourself with New Age Cosmetic Treatments

Dr. Janak Thakkar, Orna Skin- Advanced Laser & Hair Care Centre, Rajkot

Start College With A Shining Glow

Modern day dermal fillers like Restylane Vital provide instant glow and are long-lasting

New Delhi, July, 2014: July, it is that time of the year when students are dying to start college. Twelfth pass-outs couldn’t stop shopping -- buying clothes, funky bags, purses, gadgets which they can flaunt on the first day of their college. Everybody knows ‘first impression is the last impression’ and students do not want to leave anything to chance.


Looking their best during the starting few days college to garner maximum eyeballs is students’ first priority. But it is not just the gadgets or the purse or the branded clothes that make them look good. A good, shining skin compliments every other thing. No matter how expensive clothes you wear, if the skin is dull, the whole look gets spoiled. The students know fact very well.

Dear All Members,

Our panel named as People for Fairness in Press Club (PFPC) is contesting elections of the Press Club for the posts of President, Chairman, Secretary & managing committee members. Please spare some time to peruse our manifesto. Here is our 16 points program:

Mumbai Press Club : Independent Voice


Hello,

We are writing to you as independent candidates standing for the posts of Joint Secretary and Managing Committee Members for the forthcoming Press Club poll scheduled on July 26.

Our intention to contest the poll as independent candidates is to lend voice to hundreds of neutral members who are associated with neither of the panels but think passionately about the Club and its development. The present committee has done its bit in terms of ambience, film club, lounge space, etc..however, we feel that there is tremendous potential in all these areas for enhancement and betterment.

Mumbai Press Club : Please come and vote for us

Dear Friends,

In the years gone by the Progressive Democratic Alliance (PDA) has powered the makeover of the Press Club in 2008 and thereafter delivered 230 flats to our journalist members in the heart of the city in 2010.

Over the last few years, we have taken the Club to new heights by promoting the RedInk Awards for Excellence in Journalism. The last 2 years’ awards ceremony at the NCPA has reached outstanding standards even putting better endowed corporate events in the shadow. The RedInk Awards today have not only enhanced the stature of the club on the national stage, but brought much-needed revenue too. Most important, the awards today have become a national platform for debate on freedom of the press and other ethical issues that concern our profession.

Reasons for seeking protection of Shri Krishn !

In this malignant age of Kaliyug, when all the paths leading to God are obscured, and people are hypocrites, Shri Krishn is my only eternal refuge.

When the country is afflicted by the non-Hindu and has become an abode of sinners, the good amongst them suffer a great deal. At such a time, the Shri Krishn is my only eternal refuge.

When holy places, such as the Ganges, are surrounded by wicked people, and the gods that reside in such places have abandoned them, Shri Krishn is my only eternal refuge.

Friends, I have navigated and decoded the Mohenjodoro map and which presents Shiva as city planner, navigator of the harbour city and the saviour of the river centric urban civilisation which controlled the global business at the time. Shiva is impersonal status personified and it has nothing to do with religion whatsoever.

SPI's Representation to EC Demanding Probe into Foreign Funding

To

The Chief Election Commissioner

NirwachanBhawan

Ashoka Road

New Delhi

Respected Sir,

1. The Socialist Party is in receipt of a representation dated 22.10 2013 from an advocate Dr. Sushil Balwada, who on enquiry, was found to be an Advocate of the Supreme Court of India. It was further learnt from Dr. Sushil Balwada that the representation addressed to you and the Home Secretary was made in public interest and was self-explanatory. We were further informed that as a public spirited individual acting in national interest, Dr. Sushil Balwada felt it appropriate to immediately bring the issue alive to the Election Commission regarding the new scourge of foreign funding in Indian elections as evident from allegations of foreign funds running into several crores being allegedly received by the AamAdmi Party which came to be reported in several newspaper reports annexed to the said representation as published in the Times of India dated 16 October 2013 and in Indian express dated 1 October 2013.

MATTER OF ISSUANCE OF WARRANTS OF ARREST OF FOUR DIGNITARIES OF INDIA

Dated: 05.11.13

To,

The Hon’ble Chief Justice,

Supreme Court of India,

New Delhi

Sir,

WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) NO. 46 OF 2004- PIL IN THE MATTER OF ISSUANCE OF WARRANTS OF ARREST OF FOUR DIGNITARIES OF INDIA

I wish to draw your pointed attention to the above matter, involving blatant abuse of judicial process and milking money, hovering for a decade in the Hon’ble Court. Warrants of arrest of Four Dignitaries were issued by Magistrate Brahmbatt in league with some advocates practicing at Ahemdabad which cropped up in a sting operation. The case should have shocked the conscience of Judiciary of the Country, and public expects from an impartial Judiciary to take immediate stock of the position and conduct introspection for remedial measures to treat the ailments of Indian Judiciary and keep it disinfected and pure like Ganges. This is not only a case of buying-off but amounts to a scurrilous attack on the credibility of judiciary putting big sign of interrogation.

Sir, Following case is before Competition Appellate Tribunal, Delhi.  Cheating has been done at Preliminary Exam & Mains Exam of CGL, 2013 exam conduct ed by Staff Selection Commission, both times and caught by Delhi Police and CBI both.  You may check the website of CBI too.
