'Tortured' by Left, Somnath ready to quit
Feeling 'tortured' by the Left parties' repeated "questioning" of his decisions, Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee on Friday threatened to step down "here and now" as a protest against "insult" to the Chair.
The Speaker vent his unhappiness when CPI(M) leader Basudeb Acharia, while initiating a debate on anti-Christian violence in Orissa and Karnataka, said that for the last four days he had been pressing for a discussion on the important issue through an Adjournment Motion but it was not allowed.
"I have been giving notices for Adjournment Motion," the CPI(M) leader said and wondered why it was not allowed.
Angered by this, Chatterjee said "I also tried to hear what you raised. Let us not go into the past. I alsChatterjee said a "new culture" had emerged in the House wherein the members "go on questioning" the Speaker's ruling.
As Acharia pointed out that this issue was not discussed, the Speaker commented: "This is most unfortunate. I will show you video clippings. Say where it (the discussion) could have been allowed."
CPI leader Gurudas Dasgupta got up with the Rule Book to identify provisions under which the discussion could have been allowed.
At this, Chatterjee said Rule 60 sub clause (1) provided for consent by the Speaker and he was not bound to give it.
o have issues to raise. You have sufficiently provoked me and I have kept silent."

Hindu group behind Malegaon blast: Police
Mumbai, October 22 : The Maharashtra police are said to have cracked the September 29 bomb blasts in Malegaon and Modasa town in neighbouring Gujarat saying these were allegedly carried out by the Hindu Jagran Manch, an Indore-based Hindu extremist group known to have links to the BJP’s student wing, Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP). The key suspects are being questioned, top Maharashtra Police sources have told The Indian Express.
Five Muslims were killed in a powerful blast in the communally sensitive textile town of Malegaon in Maharashtra and one Muslim boy was killed in the explosion in Modasa in Sabarkantha district.
Both bombs were placed on motorcycles parked in crowded areas days before Eid and set off after Muslims had broken their Ramzan fast on a Monday evening.
The BJP had condemned both the blasts. Investigators initially suspected Islamist groups such as SIMI or the Indian Mujahideen to be behind the near-simultaneous attacks — the first blast was at Modasa at 9.26 pm, the second minutes later in Malegaon — as they came in the aftermath of blasts in Bangalore, Ahmedabad and Delhi.
Besides, the motorcycle in Malegaon was parked below the now-defunct first floor office of SIMI while the one used in Modasa had Islamic stickers on its seat.
However, investigators found that these were apparently attempts by the attackers to mislead them, the sources said.
The breakthrough, they said, came when they traced the origin of the two-wheeler used in Malegaon. The vehicle used was a LML Freedom brand although some of its parts had been cannibalised from other vehicles and the chassis and engine numbers had been erased.
But with this brand out of production, dealer records and help from forensic experts led the probe to Gujarat, the sources said.
The motorcycle was allegedly owned by a man with an “ABVP background” there while the attackers belonged to the Hindu Jagran Manch with its headquarters based out of the office of an NGO in Indore, investigators found.
Top Maharashtra police officials confirmed the breakthrough but refused to go on record due to the sensitivities involved, adding that Central agencies were aware of the development.
The blast in Malegaon had sparked mob violence as angry Muslims targeted the local police and grievously injured the first policemen to arrive at the site, including a probationary IPS officer.
The attack came two years to the month when three bombs had exploded in and around a mosque in the town and That attack was blamed on SIMI and nine men were arrested but the trial has been stayed by the Supreme Court.

Indian tricolour to be on the moon
ndian space scientists will plant the national tricolour on the moon to mark its presence on the lunar surface during its two-year mission Chandrayaan-I which will be launched on Wednesday.
"Basically, (when) you go to a new territory, we want to establish presence you drop your flag... It (the idea) has been conceived on that line," Indian Space Research Organisation Chairman G Madhavan Nair told NDTV.
India will be the fourth country after the US, Russia, and Japan to have its flag on the moon, he said.
India's maiden moon mission is carrying a Moon Impactor Probe, the brainchild of former President APJ Abdul Kalam, which will detach from the spacecraft and land on the moon.
"The Indian flag is very much there and it will be on the surface of the moon when it reaches there," Nair said.
The Moon Impactor Probe (MIP) will carry some instruments which will analyse the lunar surface and a camera which will take closer pictures of the moon.
"Today, as per the International charter, the moon belongs to the global community. Nobody can make special claim on the surface. But in due course, we don't know how things will change. But our presence will be established through this mission," he said.
Nair also said ISRO planned to put a man in space by 2015. "If certain finer observations are to be made, online decisions have to be made, the presence of man becomes important," he said.
Nair said that a manned mission would cost around Rs.10,000 crore.

After Singur, is Mamata Banerjee a nuclear hurdle?
Dated: September 14, 2008 SWAMINATHAN AIYAR
Having overcome a series of obstacles ranging from Prakash Karat to the Nuclear Suppliers Group, India's plans for a massive nuclear power programme now face an even more daunting obstacle - Mamata Banerjee. Having tasted blood at Nandigram and Singur, she will not sit by quietly and allow a huge nuclear power park to come up in West Bengal.
Some analysts will say I am running too far forward: the Indo-US nuclear deal still faces formidable hurdles in the US Congress. President Bush has requested US Congress to waive its usual 30-day waiting period for considering fresh legislation, and rush through clearance of the 123 bilateral agreement. This is being resisted strongly by anti-proliferators. However, i believe that the momentum behind the deal is now unstoppable in the US. The real hurdles lie elsewhere.
During the three years of negotiation on the nuclear deal, the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd (NPCIL) has taken much advance action. It has got official clearance for four massive nuclear parks that could generate as much as 45,000 MW, equal to roughly one-third of India's entire installed capacity today. The nuclear parks will come up at Patisonapur in Orissa, Mithirvirdi in Gujarat, Kowadi in Andhra Pradesh, and Haripur in West Bengal.
The proposed location in West Bengal is close to Nandigram in east Midnapur. At Nandigram, Mamata fought tooth and nail to prevent the Left Front government from establishing a Special Economic Zone. Her supporters and allies - including sundry Maoist groups - took virtual control of Nandigram. At one stage no government official could enter the area. Eventually, the Left Front cadres staged a bloody counter-strike to regain control, killing many villagers. The violence was far greater than at the other land acquisition battle in Singur, where Tata Motors wants to build the Nano car.
After ruling the state for 31 years, the Left Front suddenly looks vulnerable because of Mamata's campaigns over land acquisition. Her Trinamool Congress thrashed the Left Front in both Nandigram and Singur in the panchayat elections last May. She has found an issue that could help her oust the Marxists and come to power herself.
At Singur and Nandigram, she waxed eloquent over the forced acquisition of land from unwilling peasants. At Haripur in east Midnapur, she will have a second trump card to play. Nuclear power plants carry risks of radiation over a substantial area. NGOs claim that people living in an area of maybe 100 square kilometres around a power plant run risks of nuclear radiation and contamination of water. Mamata will surely highlight and exaggerate these risks. That, after all, is her best bet to attain political power.
All four sites chosen by the NPCIL for nuclear parks are at coastal locations. Much of the massive nuclear equipment to be imported for the parks is too big to fit on railway wagons or trucks, and is better transported by barges to a coastal site. All four sites have been cleared for soil quality, flood risk, seismicity and other geo-morphological features. But even if they flood-proof and earthquake-proof, they are not proof against the greatest hazard of all, Mamata Banerjee.
At Koodankulam in Tamil Nadu, two Russian nuclear power plants of 1,000 MW each are under installation. This project has been marked by protests from villagers for a decade. They claim that the Environmental Impact Assessment was a farce, and that the project poses serious health hazards.
Sandeep Pandey, winner of the Magsaysay Award in 2002, leads the National Alliance of People's Movements in India. He claims that public hearings at Koodankulam have repeatedly been postponed to fob off protesters. He cites a study by Dr Kuglandi showing that the cancer rate is 12 per lakh of population around the existing Kalpakkam nuclear power plant, against the normal 2-4 per lakh. He fears that cancer rates will also go up at other nuclear sites. Mamata looks certain to echo these fears.
The central government claims that every nuclear site is examined thoroughly for possible risks, and that villagers around the new sites have no reason whatsoever for apprehension. However, the government's assurances have failed to convince villagers in Andhra Pradesh and Meghalaya, where the government proposes to mine uranium. These villagers have thwarted uranium mining for years, even though this is a top security priority for the government.
The Koodankulam project initially proposed to tap water from the nearby Pechiparai dam. This provoked a storm of protest from villagers, who argued that not a drop of irrigation water should be diverted to the project. NPCIL now claims that the water for the project will come entirely from desalination of sea water.
This holds lessons for the West Bengal government. It must from the start insist that no fresh water will be diverted from irrigation to the proposed nuclear park, whose needs must be met entirely by desalination. It needs to involve local people and convince them about measures to combat radiation risks, and not leave this to the central government. Whether that will credibly counter the coming attack of Mamata Banerjee remains to be seen.
Bank deposits safe, inflation to fall further: Manmohan
New Delhi, October 20: : India's economic growth may decelerate to 7.5 per cent in 2008/09, as the country experienced 'ripple effects' of the global financial crisis and liquidity crunch, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said on Monday.
"The financial crisis is likely to have an indirect impact on the Indian economy," he said in a statement to lawmakers in Parliament. "We must be prepared for a temporary slowdown in the Indian economy."
"RBI and the Government are carefully monitoring flow of credit and will ensure additional liquidity results in actual credit," the PM said.
The Prime Minister assured that all the deposits in Indian banks are safe there should be no fear of failure of Indian banks like the American counterparts.
Singh said the recent steps taken by the government and central bank would help ease a liquidity shortage.
Inflation was also expected to moderate further in the next two months, he added.
INFLATION WOULD FALL FURTHER
With the price situation showing signs of improvement, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Monday said the Inflation rate would fall further in the next two months.
"We expect a further reduction in Wholesale Price Index (WPI) in the next two months," he said while making a statement in the Lok Sabha.
The inflation rate, measured by movement in the WPI, has for the third successive week remained below 12 per cent and came down to 11.44 per cent for the week ending October 4, from 11.80 per cent a week ago.
"WPI has declined in the last three weeks, and although the current rate is still high, the movement in the level of prices shows a clear deceleration in the current momentum of inflation," he said.
Welcoming the steps taken by the RBI to infuse liquidity and reduce short-term lending (repo) rate, Singh said, "It is broadly consistent with our objective to control inflation which has already begun to moderate."
RBI on Monday reduced the repo rate by 100 basis points allowing banks to borrow funds from the central bank against government securities at an interest rate of 8 per cent against 9 per cent earlier.
The central bank had earlier reduced mandatory deposit that banks maintain with the RBI by 250 basis points unlocking Rs 1,00,000 crore of the banking funds.

CONDEMN AISA'S COMMUNAL POLARISATION
NSUI congratulates the JNU student community for defeating the anti student, pseudo revolutionary rhetoric of the Left in the annual School GBM’s of SIS, SSS, and SL. For the first time in the history of JNU, an organization which has all four office bearers in JNUSU, were not able to pass their convenor and councilor’s report, not in one but in all the three schools, which is a clear indicator of the beginning of the demise of vapid verbal leftist diarrhoea. Students of JNU has learnt that the left, be it the loony fringe impuissant naxal ninnies of AISA, DSU, PSU etc. etc (we don’t know if there is a ZSU (Zombies Students Union) or the palanquin bearers of TATA and SALIM BROS, the juvenile commies in SFI are not going to be their voice. The students have realized that their hopes and dreams will be fulfilled only through NSUI, the only liberal, secular, progressive, responsible and committed student’s organization following the glorious tradition of Indian National Congress.
Friends, the poster of AISA trumpeting it’s ‘achievements’ which was released soon after SIS defeat would be an ideal contender for annual rotten tomatoes award in terms of fiction, lies and heightened prevarications. The NSUI does not believe in indulging in self congratulation (a forte of SFI, AISA and other left crowd) but we are compelled to present before you the pro student initiatives and struggles we have undertaken as the left nincompoops have resorted to convolute and subvert facts and truth in a Goebbelsian fashion which they have been effectively using to deceive the student community.
RESTORATION OF ACCESS TO IDSA LIBRARY- The IDSA Library restricted access to JNU students and this affected the M Phil, PhD scholars profoundly in their research accomplishments. The issue was taken up by NSUI and the councilors of SIS, Vidisha Shukla and Zothanpuii along with a delegation of NSUI activists met Hon. Defense Minister Sri A. K. Antony and resolved the issue in a single meeting. Meanwhile the AISA led JNUSU failed miserably here.
INCLUSION OF PH STUDENTS IN RAJIV GANDHI NATIONAL FELLOWSHIP AMBIT- NSUI pioneered the idea of including PH students in RGNF ambit and we were first to organize a protest demo in front of UGC which resulted in the discussion of this issue with UGC. The UGC is actively considering the issue due to the continual agitation led by NSUI.
PLACEMENT CELLL- NSUI realizes the importance and value of an efficient placement cell in JNU and the enormous response the NSUI received during the signature campaign initiated by our councilors Vidisha Shukla, Zothanpuii and Shahnawaz Khan. We strongly distance ourselves from the AISA’s outdated notion of having a Career Guidance Bureau instead of a proactive Placement Cell. The assurance that AISA led JNUSU has given to the student community in this regard is a total eyewash designed to deceive the students like their SFI counterparts.
WIFI FACILITY- NSUI has also taken up the issue of providing WIFI connectivity in all hostels and our protest for this issue is also intense.
WORKERS RIGHTS AND ENSURING MINIMUM WAGES- Unlike the pseudo proletarians of our campus NSUI believes in supporting the mess workers and their long pending grievances regarding hike in wages and other issues. NSUI provided a platform for the workers to present their problems to Hon. Union Minister for Labour and Employment Sri Oscar Fernandes resulting in compelling the JNU administration to provide minimum wages, PF, ESI and other benefits to be effective from October onwards.
NSUI strongly condemns the rumor and hate fostering campaign initiated by AISA against us after the serial bomb blasts in New Delhi. NSUI reiterates our position that this incident should not be given a communal angle to extract political dividend. We strongly believe that terror doesn’t have a religion; it is a crime against humanity. Time and again India has seen the devastating impact of communal polarization, played by the British Raj in the form of DIVIDE AND RULE, now followed by the communal forces to seize political mileage by washing the hands with the blood of our brothers. The AISA is employing the cold blooded tactic of DIVIDE AND RULE by spreading a malicious rumor campaign directed to polarize and portray an entire community as victims. NSUI clearly states that we strongly condemn the witch hunting of minorities and the hate mongering campaign of communal casteist tyrannical lumpens of ABVP.
NSUI appeals to the Delhi Government to nab the culprits behind the bomb blasts immediately and at the same time refrain from targeting innocent people in the name of religion.

IT'S ALL RIGHT IF WE DO IT, BUT IT'S NOT YOUR CUP OF TEA
Friend’s,
National Student Union of India congratulates the student community for its wholehearted support in defeating the anti national communist and pseudo-naxal rhetoric that has been presented in the form of the annual reports of SIS and SSS. As the convenor of the SSS and had gone to Columbia University, USA to intensify the anti imperial struggle of her party, two separate councilor reports were presented on 3/10/08 SSS GBM. The juvenile comrades in JNU have finally realized that the ongoing agitations in JNU is not effective in shaking the foundations of US Empire, so the ‘organic intellectuals’ of our campus have decided to send more battle-ready commies into the land of ‘Great Satan’, of course, the scholarship paid in dollars, Mc Burgers and Coca Cola for refreshments! Therefore, it is a matter of pride and privilege for all students in our university especially in SAA and SSS to not to have a convenor’s report.
Friend’s, yet again the left in JNU has bit the dust, soon after the clobbering in SIS and SSS which proves that the JNU student community no longer believes in their barrage of lies, propaganda, bogus, and grand outright hypocrisy. This crushing defeat of the ludicrous left means that the politics of rhetoric has become stale in JNU and the hearts and minds of JNU’ites is in concordance with the vision and agendas put forward by NSUI. Needless to say that this victory is an endorsement by the students of JNU for the bold initiative of our Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh in putting an end to decades long nuclear isolation of our nation by entering in civilian nuclear cooperation with Russia, France and America.
However, the JNUSU President’s derision of placement cell, describing it as not in line with the culture of JNU was a direct insult heaped on all students who gave their support to the signature campaign initiated by NSUI regarding the issue! Well, Mr. President, you are proving time and again that you are not at all able to connect to the students and their aspirations and how are you supposed to know the pulse of JNU campus as all that you are interested is in making hollow rhetoric against imperialism, when vital student issues are put to the backburner. In quite contrary to JNUSU President’s stand on placement cell AISA’s convenor in SL has come with a poster elaborating placement cell as a long standing demand of JNUSU. We demand Mr. President to make clear of your stand on the idea of a University Placement Cell in JNU. NSUI strongly rejects the newly formed committee regarding placement and career guidance and demands a proactive, efficient, functioning and liberalized University Placement Cell. We believe that the present setup of placement cell is going to be one more committee among hundreds of others which have already been constituted by JNU administration for many issues and the present JNUSU is only known for making and unmaking committees. We appreciate Delhi Student’s Union, for their successful initiative in establishing a centralized placement cell in DU and we would like to bring some facts of their success in DU. Lady Sri Ram College, Hindu College, and Hansraj College together had over 450 placements with MNC’s like Google, HSBC, Hewitt, Infosys, Jaypee Group, UBS etc. visiting these campuses offering an average pay pack of Rs. 5.5 lakh. Nevertheless the present proposal of placement cell in our University under the guidance of Prof. Anand Kumar is nothing but a complete betrayal of student interest in this regard. Whoever oppose and whatever strategies applies we will not compromise our demand of a University Placement Cell which we already submitted to JNU with the signatures of 3223 students. However, the hideous designs of AISA led JNUSU are getting exposed everyday and the students of SIS AND SSS have shown these ultra- hypocritical, anti-student, pseudo revolutionaries the WAY OUT!
The issue of making JNU campus Wi-Fi enabled is another matter raised by the NSUI and here again, the AISA led JNUSU displayed its notorious inefficiency and insincerity to the student community, but they do make sure that they have their laptops connected with ‘plug n surf’ devices for internet access so that they are kept posted of “revolutions” taking place around the globe (if any) and of course, scholarships and opportunities for higher studies, while the poor students must wait in the library or opt for paid browsing outside the campus.
The AISA led JNUSU is a past master in partisan conduct and their colors were exposed out in the open when the US under secretary of state Mr. Richard Boucher’s visit to the campus was blocked by them while all kind of separatists and anti-nationalists were able to freely come to the campus and spread their anti-Indian, separatist, extremist propaganda! This arbitrary, partisan act of AISA led JNUSU shows that they are least interested in the academic freedom of students but are here to play contemptible, agenda ridden politics. This incident ripped away the mask of AISA led JNUSU and their fascist, repressive, tyrannical, undemocratic, Pol- Potian face exposed to the students of JNU. Also one wonders how the real devotees of mass murderers like Stalin, Mao, PolPot, and the murderers of innocent citizens in Andhra, Bihar, Orissa, and Chattisgarh are able to differentiate between the idea of Freedom of Speech and Expression and the politics of murder. This is the justification of our Naxalite President for blocking Richard Boucher’s visit in this campus exclusively for an academic purpose. History says there was no academic freedom in Stalin’s Russia. Even after Marxism and Stalinism expired decades back the democratic and academic environment in our campus has been disturbed by the presence of little Stalin’s.
NSUI once again congratulates the JNU student community for this resounding victory over an incompetent, AISA led JNUSU in SIS & SSS and for vindicating the stand of NSUI regarding the student issues and freedom of expression and speech. Friends, it is high-time time to eject the leftist, separatist forces from the campus and drive the last nail to their coffin so that JNU becomes a place where democracy flourishes and students get a chance for a fruitful career and life.

National Student Union of India congratulates the student community for its wholehearted support in defeating the anti national communist and pseudo-naxal rhetoric that has been presented in the form of the annual reports of SIS and SSS. As the convenor of the SSS and had gone to Columbia University, USA to intensify the anti imperial struggle of her party, two separate councilor reports were presented on 3/10/08 SSS GBM. The juvenile comrades in JNU have finally realized that the ongoing agitations in JNU is not effective in shaking the foundations of US Empire, so the ‘organic intellectuals’ of our campus have decided to send more battle-ready commies into the land of ‘Great Satan’, of course, the scholarship paid in dollars, Mc Burgers and Coca Cola for refreshments!
