I believe there was widespread agreement on BRF that having more women in Police forces would go a long way towards overall empowerment of women, as well as a more humane and efficient police force.

Nitish Kumar grants Bihar women 35% quota in police jobs

"Reserving 35 per cent seats for women will be another step towards women empowerment that started with the government giving 50 per cent reservation to women to panchayats in 2006," the chief minister said in his address at a function to mark the 101st foundation day of the state, Bihar Diwas, Friday.

The announcement came weeks after Bihar Military Police got its first all-woman battalion in Bihar Military Police. The battalion is ready to be deployed against Maoists.

The chief minister also said his government would bring amendments to relevant laws during the ongoing Assembly session to give 50 per cent reservation to women in co-operative societies, including the Primary Agriculture Credit and Cooperative Society.

He said his government has started training schoolgirls in judo and karate. "By the next Bihar Diwas function, we will see over 40,000 trained girls," he added.

Thanks for posting this.

I had always thought that SD got AKs and other stuff from the gangsters to feed his ego and indulge in machogiri. The above link shows that the b@stard was actually aware of the whole conspiracy to smuggle arms and ammunition into the country. Though, my guess is that he did not have the inside track on the planned bombings which was was a closely guarded secret. He could simply have been told that weapons are being brought in for inter gang warfare.

But he sure was deep in cahoots with the Mumbai underworld. And I think still is.

Sunil Dutt wanted to know the reason why. He was not prepared for the answer: “Because I have Muslim blood in my veins. I could not bear what was happening in the city.” A crestfallen Sunil Dutt left the police headquarters. It was a moment almost worse than the shock of the previous day.

With that one statement this fellow tarnished everyone who has even a drop of Muslim blood. What a sick logic he had.

Not sure if this was posted earlier. (I remember that I had read something similar at some other url too)
http://janamejayan.wordpress.com/2013/02/19/justice-katju-has-no-one-to-blame-but-himself-for-his-fall/

First, some family background about Markandey Katju. The Katjus are a famous Allahabad-based Kashmiri Pandit family with close ties (through clan relationships) with the other, more famous, Kashmiri Pandit family from Allahabad — the Nehrus. When the latter family, led by Jawaharlal Nehru, usurped political power in post-independence India, through their absolute control over the Congress party, close associate Kailashnath Katju (Markandey Katju’s grandfather) also became a Congress politician and Nehru loyalist-cum-crony. He was first made the Governor of Orissa and West Bengal. Then he became minister in Nehru’s cabinet holding various top ministries like Law, Home and Defense. Subsequently, he was (twice) made CM of Madhya Pradesh. Meanwhile, as the Nehru dynasty (and now the Nehru-Maino dynasty) continued to remain India’s political masters, the sons, nephews, grandsons and grandnephews of the loyal Katju family continued to receive patronage from the Durbar Establishment, and were serially rewarded with bureaucratic and civil service positions. Kailashnath Katju’s son (Markandey Katju’s father) Shivnath Katju was also appointed judge to the Allahabad HC, as also his brother Brahmanath Katju, and later Markandey Katju himself. Cousin Vivek Katju rose through the ranks of the IFS, was appointed ambassador to various countries like Burma, Afghanistan and Thailand, and retired as Secretary, Ministry of External Affairs. Such cases only go on to demonstrate the depth to which the tentacles of the Congress party and Nehru dynasty have entrenched themselves in all aspects of Indian society — from politicians to civil servants and bureaucracy, from armed forces to intellectuals and intelligentsia, and from historians to journalists and mainstream media.

From this link

While Sanjay Dutt's sister Namrata is married to Kumar Gaurav, Rajendra Kumar's son, he also shares a rumoured 'illegitimate' connection with the first family of India, the Gandhis!

and

Sunil Dutt, Nargis and Nehru?

Motilal Nehru is rumoured to have been enamoured by Daleepabai, Allahabad's famous courtesan. The outcome of their relationship was allegedly illegitimate daughter Jaddanbai, who gave birth to actress Nargis. Meghnad Desai, who researched for the star's biography with wife Kishwar, has been quoted as saying that Jaddanbai even tied a rakhi to Nehru. If this is true, then cut to this generation... and Sanjay Dutt could be Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi's uncle!

1993 Bombay blasts: same crime, different punishment

Both Zaibunissa and Sanjay Dutt were charged under TADA or the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act for aiding and abetting a terrorist act. Zaibunissa was given five year rigorous imprisonment under the Act. The TADA charges were later dropped against the actor, but upheld against Zaibunissa.

Zaibunissa's daughter says the family was shocked as they were expecting her acquittal.

Journalist Harinder Baweja, who reported on Zaibunissa extensively, says, "In the entire chain, everybody who brought the weapons and took the weapons were convicted under TADA. It defies legal logic why everybody else got TADA and not Sanjay Dutt."

Zaibunissa's daughter says if Sanjay Dutt can indeed be pardoned, why not her mother.

India does not want national ID card because it will affect fortunes of political parties

"Will the resident identity cards serve any purpose? These cards must serve a larger social purpose which should be demonstrable," said a senior minister who is part of the GoM. "The security applications of NPR cards are not clear," said the minister quoted earlier, requesting anonymity. "If someone runs away after triggering a blast, how will having an NPR card help? Police enquiries also result in tracing such people even without identity," he pointed out.

Any discussion on this subject will throw up the issue of illegal migrants from Bangladesh, an important vote bank in several states like Assam and West Bengal. The Congress brass is also apprehensive that a resident identity card based on biometric (finger print and iris) data collected for the NPR would be seen as a tool that could be used to target minorities.

Officials are baffled by the government's growing reluctance over the issue of such cards despite explicit assurances to Parliament that this would be the logical conclusion of the NPR exercise.

Such is the fate of India in the hands of these worthless dumbass rulers.

Kolkata Muslim outfits plan pro-Jamaat bandh, want Sheikh Haseena to quit
|
Express news service : Kolkata, Tue Mar 26 2013, 11:04 hrs

OVER a dozen Muslim outfits along with Human Rights Association are planning to hold a demonstration in Kolkata on March 30 demanding the stepping down of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Haseena amid the war crime tribunal's verdicts against Jamaat-e-Islami's leaders in connection with the atrocities committed by them during 1971's Liberation War.

Some of the Muslim outfits in Bengal are demanding setting Bangladeshi Islamic orator and politician Delwar Hossain Sayeedi free after the tribunal awarded him death penalty.

Prominent Muslim leaders such as Syed Md Nurur Rahman Barkati, Shahi Imam of Tipu Sultan Masjid and Maulana Syed Athar Abbas Rizvi, imam, Cossipore Masjid are expected to participate in the demonstration.

"We had recently filed a deputation to the Bangladesh High Commissioner and it didn't have any effect," said said Md Qamruzzaman, general secretary, All Bengal Minorities Youth Federation.

He also said that if their demands are not met, they would appeal to the Indian government to severe all ties with Bangladesh.

Barkati strongly condemned the actions of the Bangaladeshi government and said whatever Sheikh Hasina was doing was not only anti-Islam but anti-humanity as well

Earlier, the outfits had planned to hold the protest on Tuesday, but police denied permission, forcing them to hold the protests on March 30 .

What is known is since 2000, 40 terror strikes in India have left 900 dead and thousands injured. What is not so well known is during the same period, accurate Intelligence inputs thwarted over 4,200 terror attempts on Indian soil while neutralising at least 2,600 modules.

Covert operations in the last 10 years have yielded IB and RAW over 300 LeT and Jaish terrorists and ISI agents from Nepal. Their subsequent interrogation has not only revealed information on arms smuggling routes but also unmasked long-term ISI and LeT sleeper cells in India. Army, RAW and IB have been able to neutralise 31 ISI-backed espionage modules between 2010 and February 2013, resulting in the arrest of 48 spies, including 10 Pakistanis.

UPA surrenders to Omar’s illegal ‘rehabilitation’ policy

The J&K Government’s new Rehabilitation Policy (Cabinet Decision No.32/3 dated January 31, 2004, Government Order No. Home-55/H of 2004) aims to facilitate “those terrorists who undergo a change of heart and eschew the path of violence and who also accept the integrity of India and Indian Constitution” to join the mainstream. It is applicable ONLY to terrorists amongst residents of Jammu & Kashmir who surrender with weapons or even without weapons.

The Policy does not encompass terrorists who crossed over to Pakistan for arms training, took Pakistani citizenship, married and raised families, and now seek to return to India and settle in J&K, a sensitive State where Pakistan sponsors terrorism and makes territorial claims.

The policy specifies designated places/authorities for surrender: Operational Units of Army/ BSF/ CRPF/ ITBP throughout the State (and not throughout the nation, or borders with other States); Zonal Inspectors General of Police; Range Dy. Inspectors General of Police; District Magistrates and District Superintendents of Police or Superintendent of Police, CID. If found eligible for rehabilitation, the incentive package includes immediate grant of Rs 1.5 lakh as a bank fixed deposit to be drawn on completion of three year period and subject to good behaviour, and Rs 2000 as monthly stipend for three years after surrender.

Shah’s arrest and Omar Abdullah’s intemperate outburst against the Delhi Police has exposed the ugly truth that, instead of bringing terrorists operating within the State to give up arms and rejoin the mainstream, the National Conference-Congress coalition regime was overseeing the infiltration of Pakistani terrorists into the State under the cover of the rehabilitation policy. Worse, the Government of India was tacitly permitting this gross and illegal misuse of the policy.

Authorities admit that over 4000 persons with Pakistani passports have entered India via Nepal using I-cards improperly issued by the J&K Government to the while on Nepali soil; 243 arrived in just three months of 2013. This poses a serious threat to the State and the nation, as the ISI could be pushing its operatives into the country using this open door.

Legally, the State Government has no power to grant Indian citizenship to anyone, let alone such persons. Under Article 9 of the Constitution of India, “No person shall be a citizen of India by virtue of Article 5, or be deemed to be a citizen of India by virtue of Article 6 or Article 8, if he has voluntarily acquired the citizenship of any foreign State.”

The terrorists being helped to enter and settle in J&K thus remain Pakistani citizens; they need to reside in India for a minimum of five years before they can apply for naturalisation as Indian citizens. It is unclear how former terrorists can be found eligible for Indian citizenship. Hence there is need to question the logic of importing known militants into India and settling them in J&K to serve as possible sleeper cells for Pakistan, whose citizenship they hold. Shah had crossed over to Pakistan 23 years ago and is now a Pakistani citizen.

When Shah and five others landed at Kathmandu Airport last week, an official of the J&K Government provided them with I-cards, but Liaquat refused to accept this ‘proof’ that he was an Indian citizen residing in J&K. This amply proves he was not willing to eschew violence or respect the Indian Constitution or accept the territorial integrity of India, and that Delhi Police was right to arrest a man without valid Indian documentation. After all, he held a Pakistani passport and had no valid visa to enter India.

Trying to understand why these messengers of peace land in Kathmandu and not in India when they want to reintegrate with the mainstream.
Also, why are J&K government representatives present in Kathmandu to receive them.
Doesn't Kathmandu have a strong presence of ISI?

15 arrested for vandalising place of worship

MUZAFFARNAGAR: Fifteen persons have been arrested for vandalising a place of worship at Buchchakheri village in Shamli district, police said here today.

"43 persons were booked for vandalising a religious place on Tuesday, of which 15 were arrested yesterday," SP Abdul Hamid said.

The trouble arose when the wood, which was to be burnt during the festival of Holi, was found burnt before time, the SP said.

Irate people entered the place of worship of a community and vandalised it, he said.

Police force was rushed to the spot and the situation was brought under control, he said.

The remaining accused would be arrested soon, he said. Security has been tightened and extra police force has been deployed in the village, he said.

First, a large consignment of arms, ammunition and RDX landed at a place called Dighi on the Konkan coast in the first week of January. Second, and most significant to me, coming from Delhi to investigate the story and thereby having been saved the horrors of the riots, was the fact that, in the run-up to the second round of riots, the police had discovered an intriguing pattern. Several key officers I met then told me that bodies of poor Hindu mathadi (head-load) workers from the Maharashtra hinterland were being found early mornings on streets where they often slept, slit at the throat with a small knife as if in some ritualistic style. That was, however, an analytical afterthought as the investigators pieced the story together. These bodies were mostly found around Dongri, a communally sensitive area. The conjecture was that someone was trying to provoke a second round of riots. That there was a plan to this.

Terror groups are no more having to scout for recruits; rather, self-radicalized youth seething with a sense of injustice to Muslims are reaching out to the jihadi outfits to volunteer to work for them.

Interrogation of Indian Mujahideen (IM) and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operatives in connection with the recent Hyderabad blasts has brought out what security and intelligence agency call the "deeply worrying trend" , where terror groups are able to find recruits without having to work really hard. NIA's interrogation of IM operatives Syed Maqbool and Imran Khan and LeT member Obaidur Rehman also revealed that the new recruits had no qualms about switching loyalties from one group to another.

Maqbool and Imran were arrested last year in connection with the August 1, 2012 Pune blasts and are suspected to have conducted reconnaissance for the Hyderabad blasts. Rehman was part of the LeT module of 18 operatives busted by Bangalore Police last year. He is suspected to have helped Maqbool and Imran carry out reconnaissance of Dilsukhnagar in Hyderabad, where twin blasts on February 21 claimed 16 lives.

Investigations found that Rehman had earlier approached IM cadres to take him to Palestine to fight a "holy war" . When he failed in that objective, he got in touch with LeT cadres in Saudi Arabia in order to make it to Palestine. Later, he was arrested for plotting to kill some Hindu fundamentalists.

Sources said Maqbool had approached suspected HuJI terrorist Abdul Majid, then lodged in a Hyderabad jail for involvement in riots which broke out in the wake of the 2010 Mecca Masjid blasts, for terror activities. Majid came out of jail and fled to Saudi Arabia the same year promising to provide all help to Maqbool. Majid is a protege of radical preacher Maulana Naseeruddin and brother of Abdul Zahid, an accused in the attack on Hyderabad Special Task Force headquarters in October 2005.

Muslim institute 'training girls for jihad', Mumbai Police memo reveals

MUMBAI: Mumbai Police has kicked up a controversy following its circular which says the women's wing of an Islamic organization is "brainwashing and training girls for jihad". The outfit has threatened legal action if no apology is tendered by the police.

The "internal circular" said the Girls Islamic Organization (GIO) of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, one of the country's largest Islamic organizations that runs 40 high schools and three junior colleges in Maharashtra, has been operating with the objective of "brainwashing college and school girls and train them for jihad".

"The group GIO is related to Jamaat-e-Islami Hind and it was established in Kerala. The purported aim of this organization is to make more and more Muslim women aware of their religion and the holy Quran. But the real objective of this organization is to brainwash school and college girls and train them for jihad," the circular, issued last month, says.

The document, meant for internal circulation, got leaked and has invited the wrath of Jamaat with its Maharashtra spokesman Mohammad Aslam Ghazi threatening to sue the police department if it does not apologise.

Ghazi alleged it was a deliberate attempt to tarnish the image of the socio-religious organization.

"The circular was leaked with vicious intentions. The allegations against GIO are false and baseless," he said.

Malegaon probe: The curious case of Lt Col Prasad Purohit
NIA arrests first suspect in 2006 Malegaon blast case
“The country should be taken over by the army”, railed Hindutva leader BL Sharma ‘Prem’ at a 26 January, 2008 meeting in Faridabad, near New Delhi.

“It has been a year since I sent some three lakh letters, distributed 20,000 maps of Akhand Bharat on 26 January, but these Brahmins and traders have never done anything and neither will they do. I do not talk of casteism. It’s just that they don’t have the potential; they don’t have the aptitude for this kind of feelings”.

“It is not that physical power is the only way to make a difference, but it will awaken people mentally”, Sharma concluded. “I believe that you have to light a fire in society, at least a spark”.

Five years on, as Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi prepares to lead the Bharatiya Janata Party into a bitterly-contested election, he might well to reflect on those words with care: small children and arsonists play with matches, not responsible politicians committed to Indian democracy.

The BJP’s new Parliamentary Board and Central Election Committee includes some of the most venomous voices in Indian politics. There is Amit Shah, a former Gujarat minister who is being tried for murder. There is like Varun Gandhi, with a disturbing record of incendiary speech. There is Uma Bharati, who has said she feels no regret at the demolition of the Babri Masjid—and event which sparked off riots and terrorism that claimed the lives of over 2,000 Indians.

For figures consigned to the margins by a party leadership that was firmly focused on alliance-building, this is a triumph. Praveen Togadia, Modi’s one-time ally-turned-enemy, has been exulting, promising to “declare Gujarat a Hindu state by 2015”.

It’s no secret why the BJP has acted as it has: shoring up their right flank makes sense. The hard core of Hindutva cadre will be critical to its electoral performance. Election strategists believe centrist voters, who have in the past shown themselves to be repulsed by religious chauvinism, are even more repulsed by the Congress’ corruption.

There is a larger issue, though: the rise of hardline Hindutva could pave the way to violence the country simply cannot afford. For this reason, what is happening in the BJP is a national security issue.

Sharma’s remarks in Faridabad help understand why. From the tape-recordings of their conversations the group maintained of its discussions, we know Hindutva hardliners began meeting to plan a new course of action soon after 2002. The group included Sudhakar Dwivedi, RP Singh, Ramesh Upadhyay and Shrikant Prasad Purohit—men the National Investigations Agency now says were involved with a series of terrorist attacks against Muslims. The men had hailed the rise of Modi, seeing the communal killings in Gujarat as a stepping-stone to the construction of a Hindu state. Modi’s development agenda, however, pushed him into confrontation with the hardliners—leaving the them disgusted.

From 2003, the hardliners thus drifted away from democratic politics and into a new cult of the bomb. That summer, Naresh Kondwar and Himanshu Phanse of the Bajrang Dal were killed in a bomb-making accident in Nanded. Bajrang Dal operatives linked to the Nanded cell, the police discovered, were also responsible for the bombing of mosques at Purna and Jalna in April, in which 18 people were injured. In a 2006 interivew, former senior Maharashtra police officer KP. Raghuvanshi noted that the Nanded incident could have “frightening repercussions.” He acidly observed that the “bombs were not being manufactured for a puja.”

In June, 2008, Hindu Janajagruti Samiti operatives were held for the bombing of the Gadkari Rangayatan theatre in Thane. Later, in October, 2008, Bajrang Dal-linked Rajiv Mishra and Bhupinder Singh were killed in a bomb-making accident in Kanpur.

Madhya Pradesh-based Sunil Joshi and Pragya Thakur, the National Investigation Agency has alleged in ongoing trials, set up networks which carried out a series of lethal attacks—among them, in Malegaon, at the Mecca Masjid in Hyderabad, the Ajmer Sharif shrine in Rajasthan, and on the Samjhauta Express.

The group’s ambitions went further than bombings, though. In the 2008 meeting, Purohit laid out plans to overthrow the constitution. His new draft constitution rejected diversity, and called for “a singular cultural binding”. It rejected the idea of democratic governance, saying instead that a “decision once taken by the leader shall be followed at all the levels without questioning [his] authority”. It called for “one party rule”, allowing for “any Hindu on earth will be an honorary member”. Members of the group also called for the assassination of top BJP leaders, seeing them as enemies tying down the more-radical Vishwa Hindu Parishad.

It’s little understood that such ideologies, like other shades of political violence in India, have deep historical roots. The name the Hindutva terrorists chose for their group, Abhinav Bharat, invoked the memory of an organization set up Named after a group set up by the Hindutva ideologue Vinayak Damodar Savarkar in May 1904 to wage war against imperial Britain. In one manifesto, the original Abhinav Bharat’s followers promised to “shed upon the earth the life-blood of the enemies who destroy religion.” Later, the radical right journal Yugantar argued that the murder of foreigners in India was “not a sin but a yagna [ritual sacrifice]”.

Words like these inspired figures Edinburgh-educated Pandurang Bapat, who obtained a bomb-making manual from a Russian engineer in 1908. He was suspected suspected of involvement in the Alipore bomb case — an attack on a British magistrate by Khudiram Bose and Prafulla Chaki which missed its target, and killed two women.

For the most, these actions achieved little. “Indian terrorism,” scholar Walter Lacquer has recorded, “was relatively infrequent and on the whole quite ineffective: more often than not, the Indian terrorists managed to kill some innocent bystander rather than their intended victims.”

Bapat soon turned to education, hoping it would prove more effective at throwing out the British than terrorism. So did Savarkar’s close associate, Hindutva ideologue BS Moonje. In 1937, Moonje founded the Bhonsala Military School in Nashik—an institution to which two men charged with the Malegaon bombings were linked.

For decades now, the proximate costs of competitive communalism have been evident. In a 2003 article, Pakistani scholar-diplomat Husain Haqqani warned that “the rise of Hindu extremism serves as a catalyst for recruitment by extremist Islamists in South Asia.” Pakistani claims are legitimate onlee Haqqani’s claim is borne out by facts. The Mumbai riots of 1992-1993 helped Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence find recruits to carry out the subsequent bombings. The Lashkar-e-Taiba used images of communal violence in India to raise cadre—and the Indian Mujahideen, perpetrators of the worst urban terrorism campaign India has seen, invoked Gujarat.

The even more severe existential costs of communalism, though, have been just as stark. Hate-politics has created deep internal fissures, which in turn have bred a pernicious politics of identity. Political pathogens have ethnic-religious swamp, crippling our polity. India simply cannot progress if its ethnic and religious communities are at war with each other.

Ever since last year, there has been a subterranean, but steady, uptick in communal politics—provoked by politicians hoping in to cash in on religious chauvinism in the elections. It has to end.

India has been locked, too long, in a competitive cycle of hate. The BJP has done neither itself, nor the country, any favours.
