Who is Responsible

Sonia Gandhi in Bihar told that Bihar is suffering since 20 years. I could not understand first. After some thinking I came to conclusion that there is no congress government in Bihar since 20 years that's why Bihar is suffering. But she forgot to tell that out of these 20 years Bihar suffered for fifteen years due to her. When she appointed Lalu Yadav Railway minister then whole India suffered. For profit showing (I don't know whether Railway actually made any profit)Lalu Yadav made Indian Railways as goonda organisation. TTE,s became recovery agent especially for those Bihari's who come from Punjab with hard earned money to celebrate some happy moments with their families. Food prices increased, quantity and reduced. But Laluji was great Railway minister and staying in Manmohan Singh's heart. Now she it telling that Bihar is suffering since 20 years. What about before 20 years when there were congress government in Bihar. Actually Bihar suffered more during that period. This 20 years is outcome of that period. Whether congress (confused) or Lalu or Rambilas or Nitish, Bihar will continue to suffer.

Australian voyage towards Nazism

Australian envoy summoned over cops' racist email
Sat, Oct 9 12:04 PM
New Delhi, Oct 9 (IANS) Australian High Commissioner Peter Varghese was Saturday summoned by the external affairs ministry over a racist email police made in Victoria state, officials said.

Varghese was summoned over reports that police officers in Victoria had been caught joking in a racist email about the electrocution of a train passenger in India.

The officers circulated video footage of the death of a man who was travelling on the roof of a crowded train in India and suggested it could be a way to fix Melbourne's Indian students' problem, according to a report in the Herald Sun.

When the train stopped at a station the man stood up and touched an overhead power cable. Onlookers screamed as he was electrocuted.

The email containing the shocking video began circulating in the Victoria police computer system and racist comments were added, suggesting 'this might be a way to fix the Indian student problem'.

Chief Commissioner Simon Overland said the emails were 'disturbing, offensive and gross'.

Premier John Brumby Friday criticised the circulation of the racist material.

'This is completely offensive and contrary to the views and values at the heart of the Victorian community - tolerance and respect,' he was quoted as saying.

Federation of Indian Students spokesman Gautam Gupta said: 'It is outrageous that police officers would joke about the death of anyone. I am really shocked. This is humour in very, very bad taste.'

The newspaper said some of the force's highest-ranked officers have been implicated in the scandal, which also involves pornographic material.

Three superintendents were nabbed during an investigation into the circulation of inappropriate emails through the police computer system. Several inspectors have also been caught.

Mulayam hits out at Ayodhya judgment

Mulayam hits out at Ayodhya judgment
Fri, Oct 1 12:52 PM
Lucknow, Oct 1 (IANS) Samajwadi Party president Mulayam Singh Yadav Friday hit out at the judgment in the age-old Ayodhya dispute, saying it was hardly based on legalities.

'The verdict appears to be have been given more on the basis of faith and belief rather than on the basis of legalities and evidence,' the former Uttar Pradesh chief minister told reporters here.

'I am firmly of the view that the court has somehow ignored or overlooked various legal issues and relied more on the faith and belief of people. This is not how a court should have acted,' said Mulayam Yadav.

'I am disappointed with the verdict, which does not appear to show any healthy signals for the country and the judiciary. I will not be surprised if it creates more complications rather than solving its problems.'

Hailing the decision of the Sunni Central Waqf Board to challenge the judgment before the Supreme Court, he said: 'I am confident the apex court will take a purely legal view and give a judgment without being influenced by extraneous considerations of faith and belief.'

He said 'the verdict had hurt the sentiments of millions of Muslims of this country as they feel cheated because justice has been denied to them.

'I have always been of the view that a nation cannot be run on the basis of faith. It is the constitution and law that govern a nation.

'I had stated this before the National Integration Council way back in 1990 when the entire country faced the threat of a major turmoil.

'It was there that I compared myself with Arjun in Mahabharat because I may have to order firing on my own brethren in the larger interest of law and order. That is what I had to do because law is supreme.'

Mulayam Yadav's reference was to the firing by paramilitary forces at a 100,000-strong mob that raided the Babri mosque in 1990 when he was chief minister of Uttar Pradesh.

The mosque was eventually razed in December 1992 by Hindu mobs, triggering nationwide riots.

End it all, please, says veteran Muslim litigant

End it all, please, says veteran Muslim litigant
Fri, Oct 1 12:27 PM
Ayodhya, Oct 1 (IANS) An elderly Muslim man who has fought legal battles since 1961 over the disputed land where the Babri Masjid once stood says the time has finally come to make peace with Hindus.

At age 90, Mohammed Hashim Ansari says it is no point taking the matter to the Supreme Court now that the Allahabad High Court has decided that a Ram temple can come up where the 16th century mosque was razed.

'We always said that we will respect the judicial verdict, and we respect it,' Ansari has been saying parrot like ever since the high court's Lucknow bench came out with the epoch making judgement Thursday.

It was almost half a century ago when Ansari filed his title suit in the Faizabad court claiming ownership of the mosque land after it was also claimed by Hindus calling it the birthplace of Lord Ram.

For years, the man -- now frail and hard of hearing -- doggedly fought on, first away from media glare and then amid blazing publicity.

But he always remained a simple person at heart, living in a cramped house only a kilometre from the mosque, never wanting to make political capital out of his status as one of the key litigants in Ayodhya.

'This is now a closed chapter for me,' he said in a matter of fact tone. 'Hindus should be allowed to build their temple (in Ayodhya).'

Personally, he does not want other Muslims to approach the Supreme Court challenging the Thursday verdict that split up the disputed land into three -- two-thirds going to Hindus and a third to the Sunni Waqf Board.

If the matter again goes to court, he is convinced it will take decades for it to be settled.

Age, he points out, is against him.

'I am already 90 years old. How many more years will I live? Will I be alive when the final verdict comes? What is the point?'

Ansari also feels that Muslims should not despair over the judicial ruling -- since a third of the disputed land has been legally accorded to them.

In fact, he did not want the Allahabad High Court ruling to be postponed -- as sought by those who feared it could ignite violence at a time when India is hosting the Commonwealth Games.

Naturally, Ansari is pleased that none of the anticipated trouble took place. He feels credit for this should go to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati.

Tens of thousands of security personnel were deployed all across the sprawling state -- indeed all over India -- fearing possible violence in the wake of the judicial ruling.

Ayodhya, a riverside town dotted with Hindu temples, is located about 700 km east of New Delhi.

Hindus consider Ayodhya to be the birthplace of their god Ram. In December 1992, Hindu mobs tore down the Babri mosque and quickly built a makeshift Ram temple on its ruins.

The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and allied groups have said they plan to construct a grand Ram temple at the site.
