BJP politicising Delhi Police and aims to convert it into a puppet
29072014
From: Media Cell AAP <mediacellaap@gmail.com> Mon, 28 Jul ’14 6:15
Monday, July 28
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) strongly condemns the BJP’s attempts to politicise the Delhi Police by using it as a puppet of the central government to shield its party MLAs and their relatives involved in cases of corruption and serious crimes and on the other hand, it is being misused to victimize political rivals and people of Delhi.
The AAP would like to substantiate its point with the following four incidents :
1) 1) On July 14, BJP MLA from Rajinder Nagar, RP Singh summoned a junior engineer of the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) to his office. The JE was asked to give a water pipe-laying contract to a particular BJP worker. On stating that a process had to be followed the JE was beaten up by RP Singh and his supporters.
On July 22, DJB gave a written complaint to Rajinder Nagar Police Station.
The AAP would like to ask whether any FIR has been registered by the Police ? Is it not a case under the provisions of Prevention of Corruption Act not made out against the BJP MLA ?Why has he along with his supporters not arrested so far ?
What is the BJP stand in this case ?
2) 2) According to media reports, one of the accused named in the murder of Manipuri youth –Akha Salouni – on the night of July 20, is a close relative of another BJP MLA, Ramvir Singh Bidhuri.
Can the BJP deny this ? Why did BJP leaders give a statement that it appeared to be a case of road rage, when the police investigation was still going on ? Can the BJP deny that its workers gathered in large numbers outside the Kotla Mubarakpur Police station ? Why did the BJP try to hamper the investigations?
3) 3) The role of Delhi Police in the ongoing students agitation against the UPSC discrimination is highly questionable. Peacefully protesting students were brutally beaten up by the Police on Thursday night at Mukherjee Nagar and outside Rail Bhawan on Friday and even girl students were not spared.
Who ordered the Police action against students ? Why no probe has been ordered by the central government so far ?
Is it fair for any government to allow such a brutal police action against peacefully protesting students ?
4) 4) Four AAP volunteers were arrested by the Malviya Nagar Police last night for pasting posters of party’s August 3 public meeting at Jantar Mantar (They were released on bail today). The Police also took into its possession the car of AAP MLA and former law minister Somnath Bharti. According to the police, the arrest was made for defacing public property.(The posters merely convey information about the public meeting and contain a political message – it is attached with this release)
The AAP does not believe in any preferential treatment from the Police, but strongly opposes selective application of law against its volunteers. The party also contests the police claim that its volunteers were defacing public property.
The national capital has been subjected to an unprecedented assault by the BJP, with posters, banners and hoardings of its party leaders hanging from all sides in all parts of the national capital. According to Delhi Police does not amount to defacing of public property ?
Has the Police taken any action against the BJP ?
It appears the Delhi Police is under severe pressure from the BJP-led central government’s home ministry. The AAP will not remain quiet any longer on the issue and will protest the Police bias.

FIBA to review basketball rules regarding headgear at FIBA Competitions
29072014
MIES, Switzerland (FIBA): In the current Official Basketball Rules (Article 4.4.2), players are only allowed to wear headbands no wider than five centimetres in order to hold back hair and sweat.
This measure was established more than 10 years ago for two main reasons: safety on the basketball court and uniformity of equipment within a team.
As a result, the wearing of a turban or a headscarf, just like any other object or accessory to be worn on a player';s head, is not authorised in official FIBA competitions.
In view of the upcoming FIBA World Congress on 28-29 August in Sevilla, Spain, FIBA has received formal requests from a handful of members to discuss this matter.
FIBA';s Central Board, which is ultimately responsible for changes to the Official Basketball Rules, will review these requests and decide how to proceed in the best interest of the sport and of its 214 members.
The next FIBA Central Board meeting will take place on the 27 August in Sevilla.

New strategy to address Diarrheal deaths: the third biggest killer of children
29072014
Launch of Intensified Diarrhoea Control Fortnight
New Delhi, July 28, 2014: The Hon’ble Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare, Dr. Harsh Vardhan, today launched the intensified diarrhea control fortnight (IDCF) demonstrating the urgent need to focus attention on the disease that is responsible for over 2 lakh deaths of children in India, every year.
The launch of the Intensified Diarrhoea Control Fortnight (IDCF) which will be held from 28th July to 8th August across the county was attended by Shri Lov Verma, Union Secretary Health & Family Welfare, Shri R.K Jain, Additional Secretary & DG, Director General of Health Services Professor Jagdish Prasad, Dr. Rakesh Kumar, Joint Secretary, Mr. Louis Georges Arsenault, UNICEF India Representative, Dr. Nata Menabde, Country Chief, WHO India and representatives from various development organization including Micronutrient Initiative and representative from Indian Academy of Pediatrics.
“Building on the good progress that India has already made in reducing child deaths, the Intensified Diarrhoea Control Fortnight will mobilize health personnel, state governments and other stakeholders to prioritize investment in control of diarrhea—one of the most common childhood illnesses. It aims to create mass awareness about the most effective and low-cost diarrhoea treatment— a combination of Oral Rehydration Salt (ORS) solution and Zinc tablets,” said Dr Harsh Vardhan, speaking on the occasion.
The Secretary Health & Family Welfare in his address said that India has realized impressive gains in child survival over the last two decades. There has been a consistent decline in Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) and Under-Five Mortality Rate (U5MR). Increased access to immunization and child healthcare services during this period, have greatly contributed to this decline. Yet, an estimated 1.36 million children die each year in India, including approximately 2 lakh deaths due to diarrhoea.
In the welcome address by Mr. R.K. Jain, Additional Secretary said that this intensified diarrhea control fortnight is being supported by other ministries of the Government of India, especially the Education, Panchayati Raj Institutions, Women and Child Development and Water and Sanitation.
The Joint Secretary Dr. Rakesh Kumar and Professor Mathuram Santosham from John Hopkins , USA made a comprehensive presentation describing the global scenario as well as the details of the fortnight. Dr. Rakesh Kumar explained that during the fortnight, intensified community awareness campaigns on hygiene and age-appropriate childhood feeding practices and promotion of ORS and Zinc therapy will be conducted at state, district and village levels. The focus will be on diarrhea control activities during the first week and on infant and young child feeding practices (IYCF) during the second week. ORS-Zinc Corners will be set-up at health care facilities. Health workers will hold counselling sessions on appropriate methods of Infant and Young Child feeding practices, hygiene and sanitation.
Addressing the gathering, Mr. Louis-Georges Arsenault, UNICEF India Representative said, “This national campaign to fight diarrhoea – the third deadliest illness for children – will re-energize efforts to prevent the deaths of millions of children in the country. IDCF targets to reduce mortality rates and raise levels of children’s access to life-saving interventions.”
Emphasizing that diarrhoea is preventable and also treatable, Dr. Nata Menabde, WHO Chief in India said “Many children in the developing world cannot access urgent medical care for severe illnesses, making prevention methods—including improved hygiene, sanitation, safe drinking water, exclusive breastfeeding-critical components of diarrheal disease control.”
MoHFW has made it a national priority to bring health outcomes among children to a level equitable with the rest of the world. WHO, UNICEF, and other partners have been working closely with the Government to help realize this vision.
