Rs 600 per month is enough for a family!

Rs 600 per month enough to feed family of five: Delhi CM Sheila Dikshit

New Delhi: In a statement smacking of utter disregard for the poor, Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit said on Saturday that Rs 600 per month is enough for a family of five to sustain itself. "In Rs 600, he would get dal, rice and wheat. A family of five can easily complete their needs," Dikshit said while launching the UPA's new food security scheme Dilli Annashree Yojna.

Under the programme, Rs 600 per month would be transferred directly to the Aadhaar-linked bank accounts of the senior-most women member of poor families. Dikshit's statement has left the Opposition aghast.

BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said, "Hundred years back, people may be able to meet their needs in 600. But, in the present age when you don't even get a single meal in Rs 600, the Congress is insulting the poor by launching such schemes."

Dikshit was accompanied by UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi at the inauguration ceremony. This is not the first time Congress leaders have made bizarre comments that reflect utter lack of knowledge about the living conditions of the poor.

Last year, it was Planning Commission Deputy Chairperson Montek Singh Ahluwalia who claimed that a person can meet expenditure of 'food, health and education' with a sum of Rs 32 per day in the cities and Rs 26 in the villages. The comment sparked widespread disbelief and condemnation forcing the Congress party to go into damage control. Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi too was reportedly unhappy with these figures.

Aid to Indonesia

Why we give aid to Indonesia

Indonesia is one of Australia’s closest neighbours and continues to face increasingly complex development challenges. Like other developing countries, Indonesia has had recent success achieving economic growth but is still afflicted by poverty. An Indonesian woman is 30 times more likely to die in childbirth than an Australian woman and one in three children under the age of five suffer from stunting, caused by malnutrition. About 120 million Indonesians do not have access to safe drinking water while about 110 million do not have adequate sanitation.

More than 120 million Indonesians live on less than $2 per day. Indonesia remains vulnerable to shocks, like a natural disaster or an economic downturn, that could have devastating effects. Much more work needs to be done to open up opportunities for the poor, ensure all children receive a basic education, drive health care reform and create key infrastructure.

Australia and Indonesia have an effective development partnership that is improving health and education outcomes, boosting economic growth, providing support to protect the poor and vulnerable and strengthening democracy, justice and governance. Maintaining and growing this partnership remains a high priority for Australia. Owing to Indonesia’s size and proximity to Australia, increased prosperity, stability and growth in Indonesia are in the interests of both our nations as well as the broader region.

The close partnership between the two countries guided the development of the Australia Indonesia Partnership Country Strategy 2008–13, which plans for the future by consolidating past achievements and looking at lessons learned.

The Country Strategy, a comprehensive plan of Australia’s support for Indonesia, follows the $1 billion Australia Indonesia Partnership for Reconstruction and Development program (AIPRD), which articulated Australia’s long-term commitment to Indonesia’s development. The AIPRD funding supported not only tsunami-devastated Aceh, but also large-scale development programs in other parts of Indonesia. As agreed between the Governments of Indonesia and Australia, there will be a single framework for all programs under the Australia Indonesia Partnership.

The goal of Australia’s partnership with Indonesia is to work towards achieving sustainable poverty alleviation by contributing to development outcomes outlined in Indonesia’s Medium Term Development Plan (Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Menengah—RPJM) 1.

What a idiotic politics

90 per cent Indians are idiots, can be easily fooled: Markandey Katju
 Delhi Updated Dec 09, 2012 at 12:28am IST
press trust of india

New Delhi: Ninety per cent of Indians are "idiots" who can easily be misled by mischievous elements in the name of religion, Press Council of India (PCI) chairperson Justice Markandey Katju claimed on Saturday. "I say ninety per cent of Indians are idiots. You people don't have brains in your heads....It is so easy to take you for a ride," he said at a seminar in New Delhi.

He said that a communal riot could be incited in Delhi for as meagre an amount as Rs 2,000. He said that all somebody has to do is make a mischievous gesture of disrespect to a place of worship and people start fighting each other. "You mad people will start fighting amongst yourself not realising that some agent provocateur is behind this," he said.

Katju said that before 1857 there was no communalism in the country but the situation was different now. "Today 80 per cent Hindus are communal and 80 per cent Muslims are communal. This is the harsh truth, bitter truth that I am telling you. How is it that in 150 years you have gone backwards instead of moving forward because the English kept injecting poison," Katju said.Justice (Retd) Markandey Katju said that a communal riot could be incited in Delhi for as meagre an amount as Rs 2,000.

"The policy that emanated from London after the mutiny in 1857 that there is only one way to control this country that is to make Hindus and Muslims fight each other," he said. He said that then there was a propaganda that Hindi was the language of Hindus and Urdu of Muslims. "Our ancestors also studied Urdu, but it is so easy to fool you. You are idiots so how difficult is it to make an idiot of you," Katju said.

Katju said that he was saying these harsh things to make Indians, whom he loved, to understand the whole game and not remain fools.

Narendra modi is trying to hide real face behind the propaganda development of Gujarat

Atrocities against Dalits are still rife in Gujarat.

Gujarat’s Dalits: Nobody’s babies even in election time

Ahmedabad: As the poll battle intensifies in Gujarat, the tussle is on for support of the Dalit community, perceived to have moved from the Congress to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) but neglected by both with discrimination continuing as it has for decades.

“The Narendra Modi government has not implemented any schemes for the welfare of the Scheduled Castes (SC) like educational scholarships, employment schemes, financial aid and reservation at the promotional level,” said social activist Father William.

“Atrocities against Dalits are still rife in Gujarat. According to a survey by Dalit NGO Navsarjan Trust, untouchability still exists as does manual scavenging,” he told IANS.

The Congress, trying desperately to wrest control of Gujarat after having lost two successive elections, says the BJP regime has been anti-Dalit but admits that it has done little to win the Dalits, who form seven to eight percent of the state’s 60 million population.

“Modi’s rule and before that Keshubhai’s ((Keshubhai Patel’s) government have been anti-Dalit,” said Ishwar Makwana, president of the Congress’ SC Morcha.

What about his own party?

“I agree that in recent years, the Congress has drifted away from Dalits. But we are rectifying that,” said Makwana.

The BJP of course rejects the allegations.

“The Modi regime cares for Dalits. We have provided the community with reservations in jobs, loans, assistance in businesses and justice from atrocities,” Jivraj Chauhan, president of the Gujarat BJP’s SC wing, told IANS.

As the election fever catches on—polls for the 182-member assembly are due on 13 and 17 December—the parties would do well not to neglect the Dalit vote, say analysts.

“The Dalit vote, though small, is significant. Dalits can influence the outcome of the elections in seven-eight constituencies. Also, 13 constituencies are reserved for the Scheduled Castes,” said Manu H. Makwana, head of the sociology department in Ahmedabad’s Gujarat University.

Dalits in Gujarat are divided into four major subcastes: Vankars, Chamars, Garodas and Valmikis. Gujarati Dalits are found in both the Hindu and Christian communities.

Dalits in the state have been traditional Congress supporters since Gujarat was formed in 1960. In the 1970s and 1980s, the community was part of Congress’ ‘KHAM’ (Kshatriya, Harijan, Adivasi and Muslim) formula.

But with the rise of the BJP and the polarising work of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and the Bajrang Dal, many Dalits turned to the right. Indeed, Sangh outfits have often been accused in the past of brainwashing young Dalits and provoking them to attack Muslims in many riots, including that of 2002.

The results seem to prove that the Dalits have embraced the Hindu right. In 2007, just two of the 13 reserved seats went to the Congress with the BJP taking the rest. In the 2009 general elections, both the reserved seats (Kutch and Ahmedabad) went to the BJP.

Dalit activists and intellectuals bemoan the turn to the right by some sections of the community.

“The new generation of Dalits in most urban areas of the state have not seen the terrible sufferings borne by previous generations, especially in the rural areas. They are loyal to the BJP as they see the party as a stepping stone to political power,” said Makwana.

“Modi has only favoured landlords and big business. He has done nothing for the socio-economic uplift of Dalits,” he added.

According to a Dalit government official, Dalits who vote for the BJP “do not know history”.

“In 1981 and 1985, when there were strident anti-reservation campaigns in Gujarat, it was the BJP’s predecessor, the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, that had taken a lead in supporting these campaigns,” the official said on the condition of anonymity.

The problem is that the Dalit community does not have too many options other than the BJP and the Congress.

The Republican Party of India does have some presence in Gujarat as does the Bahujan Samaj Party and the Lok Janshakti Party. But, as a Dalit activist pointed out, they don’t have grassroots support.

“Plus, the Gujarat BSP and LJP are led by a Brahmin and a Gurjar respectively. Why will Dalits vote for them?” he asked.

The next government must implement various schemes for the SC, offer protection from atrocities and remove untouchability, community leaders say.

Can the Congress and the BJP make up for lost time and focus on the community’s needs, for votes if nothing else?

The 6th of December 2012 :The Barbaric Black Day of Indian History

The 6th of December 2012,a black day for Indian democratic secular nation  will mark the completion of the two decades of the demolition of the Babri Masjid by Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bharatia Janata Party (BJP) an RSS affiliate, at Ayodhya.

Bangladesh Parliamentary delegation visiting Assam

If India takes up the issue of illegal migration with Dhaka, our govt will render all possible help: Bangladesh Parliamentary delegation

The delegation visiting Assam is to meet CM Tarun Gogoi on Sunday where the issue is likely to figure in details

At a time when Assam is witnessing a renewed mass movement against illegal migrants from neighboring Bangladesh in the aftermath of the July-August ethnic violence in lower Assam, a Parliamentary delegation from Bangladesh visiting Assam on Saturday 1 December claimed that India is yet to take up the issue of ‘illegal migrants from Bangladesh ‘strongly’ with Dhaka.

The Bangladeshi Parliamentarians further assured that if India takes up the matter ‘proactively in its own interest,’ then Dhaka will render support since Bangladesh Parliament has no tolerance for illegal migration.

In the wake of the ethnic violence between the Bodo tribals and Muslim settlers who are accused to be Bangladeshis, in which nearly 100 people died and over five lakh people were displaced, Assam has seen an resurgence of the anti-foreigner movement. The state government had recently released a white paper on the status of illegal migrants in Assam and both the state government and Centre have maintained that the issue of illegal migrant from Bangladesh infiltrating into eastern India, particularly in Assam, has been taken up with Bangladesh.

“As far as we know, India is yet to take up the matter with Dhaka in details since it has never come up in our Parliament for discussion. On principle, Bangladesh does not tolerate any illegal migration. We are ourselves facing the issue of migration of the Rohingya community from Myanmar, and have been very strict on them. So, if India takes up the issue of illegal migration, our government will render all possible help,” said senior Awami League MP from Bangladesh Tofail Ahmed who is leading a 12 member Parliamentary delegation from Bangladesh which is touring India this week on the invite of FICCI for India-Bangladesh Parliamentary Dialogue. The delegation arrived in Guwahati on Saturday.

The delegation further informed that they are trying to build up better dialogue on contentious issues like the ratification of the land swap deal that Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh had signed with his Bangladeshi counterpart Sheikh Hasina in Dhaka. While Bangladesh Parliament has already ratified it, Indian Parliament is yet to do it. The other issues are the Teesta water sharing deal which failed last year after West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, whose party Trinamool Congress was then a major ally of the ruling UPA at Centre. The delegation is to meet Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on Sunday 2 December where the issue of illegal migrants is likely to figure in details, Assam government sources added.

The delegation also expressed concerns over the issue of Tipaimukh Dam that is witnessing sharp opposition in Bangladesh.

Modi is offering a lollypop to the people

Modi unveils BJP manifesto for Gujarat polls

Says the manifesto is ‘inclusive, and for all’; Congress hits back citing Tehelka’s investigation on KG Basin gas field

Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi on Monday released BJP’s election manifesto, ‘Sankalp Patra’ in Ahmedabad for the poll-bound state. “It is a blueprint which is extensive, inclusive and for development of all, including the poor, “declared Modi after unveiling the manifesto. The event was attended by several senior BJP leaders including Arun Jaitley, the leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha.

Pointing out that the manifesto ensures youth-led development and not just youth development, Modi said that he has taken special care regarding the neo middle class that has emerged in the state over the years. “Because of the developments in Gujarat in past 10 years, a neo middle class has emerged. We will bring out a new definition for them and ensure that they are included in government schemes,” he said.

Key features of the document included the ‘SAUNI Yojana,’ which will help waters of Narmadha reach Saurashtra region, and construction of 50 lakh cheap houses, a 3 percent subsidy on co-operative based agricultural loans and generation of more than 30 lakh jobs with a new portal on placements.

In the area of power generation and electricity, solar power was the key aspect that was dealt with. In addition to developing roof top solar generation, the BJP has promised to develop other unconventional energy sources such as wind energy. The manifesto also promised to double the state’s power generation in next five years.

Promising that an additional 16 lakh hectare area of land will be covered under the irrigation, the manifesto also guaranteed a Rs 40,000 crore project for the development of tribal farmers and constituting a Lake and Wetlands authority.

With a number of health packages providing health benefits to a wide variety of people, the manifesto also aims at constructing medical colleges at every major district including tribal regions.

Reacting to the manifesto, Congress leader Arjun Modhwadia said, “It’s a mockery of the citizens of Gujarat. In last 17 years, the government has stopped all the schemes for affordable housing. Not a single affordable house has been constructed during Modi’s tenure. He is offering a lollypop to the people after the Congress’ housing promise became popular.”

Meanwhile in New Delhi, Manish Tewari, the Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting, raised questions about the TEHELKA investigation about KG Basin gas field published recently. “Some very important questions arise out of this. Who is this GeoGlobal and why was it given 10 percent in a gas field valued by the government for $20 billion? Why was the five percent shares transferred to a Mauritius company...Why were the six crore people of Gujarat made to bear the exploration cost which should had been paid by the GeoGlobal…These are important questions and we would humbly like the CM of Gujarat to reply to these.” he said.

Fascism alive in Gujarat: Arundhati Roy

Fascism alive in Gujarat: Arundhati Roy

Booker Prize winner Arundhati Roy  has said that 'fascism is alive and well and living in Gujarat'.

"Gujarat, the only major state in India with a government headed by the Bharatiya Janata Party , has for some years been the petri dish in which Hindu fascism has been fomenting an elaborate political experiment and in spring of 2002, the initial results were put on public display," Roy wrote in the inaugural issue of the Indobrit, a quarterly magazine launched in London  on Tuesday night.

"We still don't know who was responsible for the carnage in Godhra, but every independent report says the pogrom against the Muslim community in Gujarat has at best been conducted under the benign gaze of the State and, at worst, with active State collusion. Either way the State is criminally culpable," she said.

Roy, who has been highly critical of the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh, said, "Whipping up communal hatred is part of the mandate of the Sangh Parivar. It has been planned for years.

"Hundreds of RSS shakhas across the country have been indoctrinating thousands of children and young people, stunting their minds with religious hatred and falsified history, including non-factual or wildly exaggerated accounts of the rape and pillaging of Hindu women and Hindu temples by Muslim rulers in the pre-colonial period.

"In states like Gujarat, the police, the administration, and the political cadres at every level have been systematically penetrated. It has huge popular appeal, which it would be foolish to underestimate or misunderstand. The whole enterprise has a formidable religious, ideological, political and administrative underpinning. This kind of power, this kind of reach, can only be achieved with State backing," Roy said.

Stating that `fascism's firm footprint has appeared in India', she said: "Fascism is about the slow, steady infiltration of all the instruments of State power. It's about the slow erosion of civil liberties, about unspectacular day-to-day injustices.

"Fighting it does not mean asking for RSS shakhas and madrassas, which are overtly communal, to be banned. It means working towards the day when they're voluntarily abandoned as bad ideas. It means keeping an eagle eye on public institutions and demanding accountability."

Most people in India have been horrified by what happened in Gujarat, she said, adding, "many thousands of the indoctrinated are preparing to journey deeper into the heart of the horror."

She said historically, fascist movements have been fuelled by feelings of national disillusionment. "Fascism has come to India after the dreams that fuelled the freedom struggle have been frittered away like so much loose change. Independence itself came to us as what Gandhi famously called a 'wooden loaf' -- a notional freedom tainted by the blood of the thousands who died during Partition.

"For more than half a century now, that heritage of hatred and mutual distrust has been exacerbated, toyed with, and never allowed to heal by politicians. Over the past 50 years, ordinary citizens' modest hopes for lives of dignity, security and relief from abject poverty have been systematically snuffed out.

"Every 'democratic' institution in the country has shown itself to be unaccountable, inaccessible to the ordinary citizen, and either unwilling or incapable of acting in the interests of genuine social justice. And now corporate globalisation is being relentlessly and arbitrarily imposed on India, ripping it apart culturally and economically," she said.
