Modi govt’s track record on women safety in Delhi shows BJP’s true mindset
2 02 2015
Sunday, 1 February
The BJP is deliberately avoiding any debate on issues concerning important issues for Delhi, since its track record during the last eight months since it has been controlling Delhi.
It is trying to mislead the people of Delhi on the extremely important issue of women safety since the official figures about crimes against women show the Narendra Modi government in very poor light.
According to Delhi Police Statistics Report for year ending 2014 given below, the Modi government which has been controlling Delhi through a backdoor cannot fool the people of Delhi any longer on women safety :
1) The number of rape cases rose from 1571 in 2013 to 2069 in 2014 – (30% rise in 2014).
2) Molestation cases up from 3345 in 2013 to 4179 cases in 2014 – 834 more cases of molestation registered (26% rise)
3) Cases of snatching grew from 3316 in 2013 to 6944 in 2014 – Almost a 100 % rise.
The above mentioned figures expose the reality of BJP and Modi government on women safety.
The BJP is avoiding a debate on women safety given the fact that its leaders have a clear anti-women mindset, which is evident from the statements of various BJP leaders :

The above mentioned figures expose the reality of BJP and Modi government on women safety.
The BJP is avoiding a debate on women safety given the fact that its leaders have a clear anti-women mindset, which is evident from the statements of various BJP leaders :
- Sakshi Maharaj, BJP MP from Unnao (7 January, 2015) : “Hindu women should give birth to at least four children.”
“We have accepted the slogan ‘Hum do, hamara ek’. Now these traitors
are not satisfied. They have given another slogan ‘Hum do aur hamara….’
They are advocating marriage of a girl to a girl, boy to another boy.
This is what the last government did,”
“This is why I… want to request women to give birth to at least four children. Give one to sadhus and ascetics. - ML Khattar, BJP’s Haryana chief minister (10 Oct, 2014) :
“If a girl is dressed decently, a boy will not look at her in the wrong
way, If you want freedom, why don';t they just roam around naked?
Freedom has to be limited. These short clothes are western influences.
Our country';s tradition asks girls to dress decently.”
“Pre-marital sex occurs when the minds of girls and boys are not on the right track” - Yogi Adityanath, BJP MP from Gorakhpur 30 Aug 2014) : “If they take one Hindu girl, we will take 100 Muslims girls. One community is allowed to spread anarchy. If the government is not doing anything, then the Hindus will have to take matters into their own hands.”

Modi govt stands exposed on 1984 anti-Sikh riots probe
2 02 2015Sunday, 01 February 2015
In case the leaked news reports about a pane headed by a former Supreme Court judge having recommended setting up of a Special Investigation Team to probe the 1984 anti-Sikh riots are correct, then it is a severe indictment of the Narendra Modi led NDA government.
The Modi government owes an explanation to the country and the families of the riots victims in particular as to why it played politics on the issue and has so far delayed setting-up of the SIT since it came to power eight months back.
All that was required by the Modi government was to accept the recommendation made by the Arvind Kejriwal government of Delhi, which in its cabinet meeting on January 30, had strongly recommended setting-up of a SIT to probe the cases wrongly closed by the Delhi Police.
The Prime Minister himself and home minister Mr Rajnath Singh maintained a mysterious silence on numerous reminders sent by Arvind Kejriwal and Mr HS Phoolka during last eight months, requesting implementation of the decision to set-up the SIT.
It has been three decades since the worst riots in the history of national capital took place and since then many complainants and witnesses have already died. In case, the Modi government was at all serious, it should not have wasted another year for mere petty politics.
This is not for the first time that the Modi government has played with the emotions of the anti-Sikh riots victims. In November last, when there was a possibility of by-elections taking place to three assembly seats of Delhi, the home ministry leaked the information about enhanced compensation for the victims families.
However, on being questioned by the Election Commission, the Modi government used the convenient excuse that no such decision was taken.
The Aam Aadmi Party strongly condemns the attitude of the Modi government on the probe into the 1984 anti-Sikh riots and promises the families of the victims that it will renew its decision after being voted to form the government in Delhi on February 7

An attack on a police checkpoint in the southern province of
Kandahar has killed five policemen, AP reported, citing officials. The
attack happened late on Sunday in Maiwand district, according to Zia

media.
Syria’s chemical weapons disarmament ends – Russian Deputy FM
Chemical weapons disarmament of Syria is over, Russian Deputy
Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov told RIA Novosti. Chemical weapons have
been destroyed, the program of disarmament has been fulfilled, and “there are no serious issues left,” he said.
China opposes Obama meeting Dalai Lama
China warned on Monday that it was opposed to any country meeting
the Dalai Lama after the White House said US President Barack Obama
would attend an event with the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, Reuters
said. Obama plans to deliver remarks at a February 5 prayer breakfast in
Washington about the importance of religious freedom, and the Dalai
Lama is due to attend. “China is opposed to any nation or government
using the Tibet issue to interfere in China’s domestic affairs, and
opposed to any country’s leader meeting with the Dalai Lama in any
manner,” according to Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei.
Ukraine mass graves West still silent about Odessa tragedy,
The UN investigation of the Odessa tragedy and mass graves in
Ukraine is virtually not operating, and the West is trying to keep
silent about these topics, RIA Novosti quoted Russian Deputy Foreign
Minister Gennady Gatilov as saying. Moscow has raised the issue during
the UN Security Council meetings, but the Western diplomats are trying “not to react to them,” he
said, describing their position as “double standards.” Ukrainian
officials said that 48 anti-Maidan activists died during a fire at
Odessa’s House of Unions on May 2 last year, but local deputies said
more than 100 people were killed.
Two simultaneous explosions strike Tripoli, Libya
Two simultaneous explosions have struck Tripoli in Libya, according
to local reports. No further information is available at this time. On
Tuesday, gunmen stormed the luxury Corinthia hotel, one of the last
large establishments still open. Nine people were killed, five of them
foreigners. There is currently a struggle between volatile Libya’s two
rival governments. This summer saw the United Nations and most Western
and Arabic countries evacuate all their diplomatic personnel due to
intensifying violence between the many factions vying for control of the
oil-rich country four years after the ouster of Muammar Gaddafi.

Hong Kong pro-democracy protesters return to streets
2 02 2015
In Hong Kong, thousands of pro-democracy protesters returned to the streets for the first mass demonstration since they shut down parts of the city late last year, demanding full democracy in the former British colony. Organizers said the protest yesterday was intended to be peaceful and not a repeat of the so called Occupy Central campaign, in which demonstrators shut down key streets for two and half months beginning in late September.
Thousands of police personnel monitored the march, but there were no reports of disturbances or arrests. Authorities cleared protest camps in December without granting the demonstrators any concessions. The protesters are demanding Hong Kong Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying to resign and Beijing reverse its decision to screen candidates for the territory’s 2017 election.

1 02 2015
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries joint project went into space at 10:21 a.m. local time from the Tanegashima Space Center in Kagoshima Prefecture, Kyodo news agency reports.
Japanese space agency officials have successfully launched a rocket carrying an intelligence-gathering satellite.
The officials with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency launched the H2A rocket on Sunday morning from the Tanegashima Space Center in southern Japan.
The officials later announced that the rocket had successfully put the radar satellite into orbit.
The satellite will gather intelligence related to national security and other data. It’s capable of photographing objects on the Earth’s surface at night or in bad weather.
It can also identify objects as small as 1 meter in width from an altitude of several hundred kilometers.
The officials will also use the satellite to gather data in case of a natural disaster.
Japan has a reconnaissance system made up of two radar satellites and two optical satellites that cover every part of the globe at least once a day. The new satellite will act as a backup in case either or both of the radar satellites fail.

1 02 2015Boko Haram opens fresh attack on major Nigeria city of Maiduguri
Fighters from the insurgent Islamic group initiated an assault on the northeast Nigeria city of Maiduguri, triggering an hours-long fight with troops for control of the Borno state capital, witnesses told AFP. Witnesses said Boko Haram rebels opened hostilities around 3:00 am (0200 GMT) and that heavy fighting was ongoing at the southern edge of the city. “The whole city is in fear,” said resident Adam Krenuwa. “People are afraid of what will happen if Boko Haram defeats the security forces.” The group’s last effort to seize Maiduguri just one week ago was repulsed by the military. However, the militants managed to seize the town of Monguno just 125 kilometers (80 miles) outside the city, as well as a military base.Search resumes for 86 still missing from December’s AirAsia crash
Indonesian rescue teams have on Sunday resumed the search for the bodies of 86 passengers still missing after the AirAsia plane crash on December 28, a local authority has said. There were 162 people on board. The national search and rescue agency has had to take a two-day break, owing to bad weather conditions in the Java Sea. A total of 68 rescue divers from this and related agencies set about raising the airplane’s fuselage, as the “focus today is to find bodies that could be trapped” there or “buried in the mud” on the seabed underneath, the official, who is also coordinating the search, told AFP. New evidence has revealed one of the pilots’ negligence, now thought to have led to the crash.Islamic State captures Iraqi oil facility, 15 workers missing
Islamic State (IS) insurgents have seized a small oil field near the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk and the 15 employees who were working there are now missing, according to security and oil officials, Reuters reports. This latest seizure comes after IS fighters attacked regional Kurdish forces southwest of Kirkuk on Friday, where they captured parts of the Khabbaz oil fields.African Union to send 7500 troops to fight Boko Haram
African leaders have agreed to send 7,500 soldiers to northeast Nigeria as part of an effort to suppress the Boko Haram insurgency that has ravaged the region, an African Union official said Saturday. Representatives from the 54-country union, who are meeting in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, for a two day summit, have decided to deploy a military task force staffed by troops from Nigeria, Cameroon, Chadi and Benin. Thousands have been killed during the radical Sunni group’s bloody insurgency, including a devastating massacre in Baga that left 2,000 people dead earlier this month.Macedonian authorities claim to have uncovered plot to overthrow government
Police in Macedonia said Saturday they will charge four people with trying to topple the government including the leader of the main opposition party, the Social Democrats, Reuters reports. A senior government official who declined to be named said that Zoran Zaev was defiant and threw the blame back at the government. The prospect of him going to jail threatens to further deepen divisions in the former Yugoslav republic and the Social Democrats have now boycotted parliament for almost a year as they say the last parliamentary election was fraudulent.Merkel rules out debt relief for Greece
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has rejected the possibility of providing Greece with any debt relief. This decision could stoke tensions with the new left-wing Greek government and its international creditors. “There has already been voluntary debt forgiveness by private creditors, banks have already slashed billions from Greece’s debt,” Merkel said in an interview with the Hamburger Abendblatt newspaper published on Saturday. “I do not envisage fresh debt cancellation,” she added.Media agencies

विहिप की देशद्रोही गिलानी का इलाज न करने की अपील
1 02 2015
नई दिल्ली जनवरी 31, 2015. विश्व
हिन्दू परिषद ने दिल्ली के डाक्टरों तथा चिकित्सालयों से अपील की है कि वे
भारतीय सेना तथा जम्मू कश्मीर पुलिस के जवानों की जान लेने वाले आतंक
वादियों के पक्षधर कश्मीरी अलगाववादी नेता सैयद अली शाह गिलानी का इलाज
विल्कुल न करें। विश्व हिन्दू परिषद के अंतर्राष्ट्रीय संयुक्त महा मंत्री
डा सुरेन्द्र कुमार जैन ने आज एक बयान जारी अपील की कि दिल्ली के डाक्टर
ऐसे देश द्रोहियों को अस्पताल की जगह जेल में भर्ती कराएं तथा दिल्ली पुलिस
इस मामले में उनकी मदद करे। हुर्रियत कॉन्फ्रेंस का चेयरमैन अलगाव वादी
गिलानी इन दिनों अपने इलाज के लिए दिल्ली आया हुआ है। उन्होंने यह भी कहा
कि अभी हाल ही में पूरी कश्मीर घाटी को अपनी जान पर खेल कर जिस भारतीय सेना
ने भीषण प्राकृतिक आपदा से उसे बचाया उसके प्रति कृतज्ञता व्यक्त करने की
बजाय हमारे सैनिकों के हत्यारों का साथ देने वाले गिलानी का सम्पूर्ण देश
बहिष्कार करे।
ज्ञातव्य रहे कि जम्मू कश्मीर के त्राल में सेना के कर्नल एन एन राय और जम्मू-कश्मीर पुलिस के एक हेड कॉन्सटेबल संजीव सिंह की हत्या करने वाले आतंकवादियों को शहीद का दर्जा देते हुए श्रद्धांजलि तक दे डाली है। गिलानी ने शहादत का मजाक उड़ाते हुए कहा है कि शहीदों (मारे गए दोनों आतंकी) का पवित्र खून बेकार नहीं जाएगा। 27जनवरी को हुए इस मझभेड़ में दोनों आतंकी मारे गए थे।
विहिप
ने आशा व्यक्त की है कि देश के अमर शहीदों की शहादत को मध्य नजर रखते हुए
दिल्ली के चिकित्सा जगत से जुडे लोग अपनी राष्ट्र भक्ति का परिचय देते हुए
ऐसे राष्ट्र द्रोही को सबक अवश्य सिखाएंगे जिससे कोई दोबारा भारत की
संप्रभुता को चुनौती देने का दु:साहस न कर सके।
