Regarding PC and his behavior - Read the contents of this other-bill he tried to roughshod.. Either way it is INC's loses :). If this bill got passed then PC could be the biggest-and-closet saffronite inside INC. The saffron comment is an undercover to pass the Foregin-money-to-curb-Naxal-Plus-EJs and this bill is to .... :)


Enemy property bill withdrawn
Giving in to vehement opposition by the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and the Samajwadi Party, the government Monday dropped a controversial bill to amend an act - that deals with properties left behind by those who migrated to Pakistan in 1947 - just before it was to be taken up by the Lok Sabha for discussion and passage.

The issue forced an adjournment of the house after an uproar over the proposed amendments to the Enemy Property Act, 1968, empowering the government to dispose of the migrant properties in India.

Home Minister P. Chidambaram said the bill that was listed in the business of the day would be now taken up in the next session as "some members have sought time to study the ordinance and amendments".

The bill first came up in the Zero Hour of the Lok Sabha when Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav criticised the government for "conspiring against Muslims with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)".

The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supported the Samajwadi Party.

Mulayam Singh said his party will oppose the bill because "it is part of the Congress' anti-Muslim policy".

"It is a bill that would make Muslims second-class citizens and create an inferiority complex among them," the Samajwadi Party leader said.

He cited the Supreme Court order making "clear that the custodian of such properties, the government, should return the properties to the inheritors".

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal sought to assure that the government was bringing amendments to address their concerns.

Bansal said the Samajwadi chief had not read the amendments as certain contentious clauses have been changed.

This created an uproar in the house with BJP members objecting to Mulayam Singh's remarks and the minister's assurance as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Shiv Sena opposed any change in the bill.

An agitated Leader of Opposition Sushma Swaraj threatened to block the bill if the government brought in amendments.

"If Mulayamji will oppose the bill in present form, we will oppose the bill if changes are made to it," she said.

Swaraj said the bill should be referred to a joint parliamentary panel before being considered by the Lok Sabha.

AIADMK's Munisamy Thambidurai, who was presiding over the session, adjourned the house till 2 p.m. amid the din.

Lalu Prasad, Mulayam Singh and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) leader Dara Singh Chauhan met Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee, who is also the Leader of the House, to resolve the issue.

Sources said BJP's ally Janata Dal-United (JD-U) leader Sharad Yadav was also present in the meeting attended by Home Minister Chidambaram and Minority Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid.

When MPs reassembled at 2 p.m., Deputy Speaker Karia Munda invited papers and bills to be laid on the table but skipped the bill to amend the Enemy Property Act listed at item number 10.

Swaraj objected again and wanted to know "what happened to the item number 10".

To this, Chidambaram said to defer the bill was "reasonable".

"If the members need more time to study the bill, we think this a reasonable request. We will bring a fresh bill in the next session," he said.

With this, the government will now have to re-promulgate the July ordinance restricting transactions of such properties because an ordinance lapses after six months if a bill to replace it is not passed by parliament.

The amendment makes it clear that courts would have no jurisdiction over occupation of properties which have been left behind by those who went to Pakistan at the time of partition.

There are over 2,000 such properties in the country.

To write Communal Violence Bill, NAC turns to activists like Teesta Setalvad,Ram Puniyani, Syed Shahabuddin and others
New Delhi : Widening the scope of the Communal Violence Bill to include “sectarian violence”, the National Advisory Council on Monday entrusted its re-drafting to a jumbo 32-member group, including Solicitor General Gopal Subramanium, Left-leaning lawyers and human rights activists. They are likely to complete the drafting of the new Bill, to be called Communal & Sectarian Violence Bill, by November 15.

While “key guiding principles” outlined for the proposed Bill — like setting up an independent national authority to ensure effective compliance with the law — are set to face Opposition from many quarters, the composition of the eight-member drafting committee and 19-member advisory group (excluding those who are NAC members) has caused unease in a section of the ruling Congress and the government.

The members include Shabnam Hashmi of Anhad, which recently circulated an online petition against the current Communal Violence Bill terming it as “unacceptable”.

Others in the panel are:

Usha Ramanathan, an independent law researcher who has been in the forefront of the campaign against the UPA government’s ambitious UID project.

H S Phoolka, a well-known advocate who has been less than charitable about the role of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi and senior Congress leader Kamal Nath in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.

Justice Hosbet Suresh, who is part of a campaign against POSCO.

Ram Puniyani, who has opposed the hanging of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru.

Apart from Subramanium, the drafting committee includes Teesta Setalvad, Maja Daruwala, Najmi Waziri, P I Jose, Prasad Sirivella, Usha Ramanathan and Vrinda Grover. Farah Naqvi and Harsh Mander are the conveners of the drafting committee and joint conveners of the advisory group.

The advisory group includes Abusaleh Shariff , Asgar Ali Engineer, Gagan Sethi, H S Phoolka, John Dayal, Justice Hosbet Suresh, Kamal Faruqui, Manzoor Alam, Maulana Niaz Farooqui, Ram Puniyani, Rooprekha Verma, Samar Singh, Saumya Uma, Shabnam Hashmi, Sister Mary Scaria, Sukhdeo Thorat, Syed Shahabuddin, Uma Chakravarty, Upendra Baxi and NAC members Aruna Roy, Narendra Jadhav and Anu Aga.

“We will try our best to finish our task by November 15 as fixed by the working group,” NAC member Harsh Mander told The Indian Express. The NAC will have its next meeting on September 24.

The key guiding principles laid down for the proposed Bill include a shift from empowering the State, to seeking action and accountability of State/ public officials, need for an independent national authority to ensure effective compliance with the law “without disturbing the federal structure”, and definition of communal & sectarian violence to cover both isolated incidents as well as mass crimes, against people based on religious, caste, linguistic, regional and other identities.

The guidelines also stress the need to remove prior sanction requirement for hate speech (Sec 153A & 153B IPC) and statutory obligation on government to lay down national standards for the entire spectrum of provisions for victims.

The guidelines also underline the need for amendments in CrPC and Indian Evidence Act to meet extraordinary circumstance of communal and sectarian violence to protect victims' rights and advocated specific provisions for victim-witness rights to be made under this law.

Meanwhile, the NAC on Monday could not finalise the draft food security Bill and decided to hold another round of consultation on September 24.

One more arrest in the "Lecturer's Hand chopping case" in socialist republic of Kerala.
KK Ali, one of the main accused in the case arrested. Look out notice for this chap was released some time back. He was arrested from Pollachi, TN. Local dailies also reported that K.K Ali and his team wanted to murder the lecturer for his attack on "Islam". Idea it seems was to teach the society in general a lesson.

A Pakistani national and two of his accomplices from Jammu were arrested with 5 kg of narcotics, worth Rs 10 crore, at Humayun’s Tomb in Nizamuddin, South Delhi, on Sunday.

Police identified the accused as Mohammed Ramzan (43), a native of Lahore, and his accomplices as Jyoti Sharma (45) and Naresh Kumar (26). “The heroin was brought from Afghanistan to India, via Pakistan, for distribution in the international as well as local markets,” Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) Shibesh Singh said.

Police also confiscated a J&K registered car that was allegedly used for delivering the consignment, sources said, adding that it comprised five kg of heroin — two kg of which had traces of cocaine.

Kollam Court asks Bengaluru ACP to appear before it in connection with Mr. Madhani's arrest
A court here has summoned a senior Bangalore police officer probing the 2008 blasts there to appear before it in connection with a complaint alleging that the arrest of PDP leader Abdul Nasser Maudany in the case was unlawful.

Chief Judicial Magistrate Soundaresh directed Bangalore Assistant Commissioner of Police Omkaraiah to appear in the court on September 13.

The order was passed yesterday on the complaint filed by Maudany’s brother, Abdul Salam that the arrest of the PDP leader by a Bangalore police team from his Anwarssery camp near here on August 17 was not in accordance with law.

The court had earlier summoned Kollam SP and Omkaraiah to appear before the court yesterday. While the public prosecutor appeared on behalf of the Kollam SP, no one represented the ACP.

Hence, the court directed the Bangalore ACP to appear before the court on September 13.

The complaint stated that the Karnataka Police had not produced Maudany in a nearby court immediately after his arrest for obtaining transit warrant before taking him to Bangalore.

Railways to beef up security with 6000 more AK-47s
Indian Railways is procuring 6,000 AK-47 rifles to be used by the railway security forces.

At present, the railway security officials have 100 AK-47 rifles, which have been distributed among sensitive zones and battalions. The procurement is being done by the Ministry of Home Affairs.

The Railway Protection Force (RPF) and Railway Protection Special Force (RPSF) personnel already have a set of modern weapons that include 19,249 pistols and revolvers, 8,668 Carbines, 5,662 INSAS rifle, 4,033 self-loading rifles and 357 light-machine guns.

The Railways had placed the first indent with Home Ministry for procurement of 3,000 AK-47 on September 17, 2007. This tender had not been finalised till late July, though the Home Ministry maintained that it would place the tender “very soon”.

Apart from reminding the Home Ministry about the urgency of the issue, the Railway Ministry has also informed that it requires another 3,000 AK-47 rifles. “The total requirement is 6,000 AK-47,” the Railway Ministry has stated in the Standing Committee report on protection and security of Railway property and passengers.

The Committee has expressed concern on the delays in bullet-proof jackets, helmets, poly-carbonated lathis, shields, binoculars, fluorescent tapes and dragon search lights.

The responsibility of providing security on Indian Railways lies with two agencies – Government Railway Police or GRP (which works under respective State Governments) and the RPF (which works under the Railway Ministry).

The RPF, which was initially responsible for protecting only Railway property, now also has the mandate to escort mail and express trains along with GRP. There are about 69,302 RPF personnel who provide security to stations and passengers.

A close aid of dear old Abdul Nasser Mahdani was picked by a special team from CBI. Abdul Azeez who was seen in various TV channels along with Mahdani's lawyer discussing the case. He was also actively involved in coordinating the legal actions done on behalf of Mahdani at Bangalore. This chap who was charge sheeted for swindling lakhs of rupees from two banks. The co-accused in the case were sentenced long time back and are now out after serving their sentences. Abdul Azeez was absconding for a quite long time. His luck ran out when one of the CBI men who were part of the investigation team recognised him, when he was busy preaching to the people about injustice meted out to Mahdani.

Times of India Link
The Hindu Link

PS: Hindu's report also notes that Kerala SB CID and IB have informed the Karnataka Police about the arrival of a large number of Mahdani associates landing up in Byadarahalli in Ramanagaram Dt. Karnataka.

Real faces of the enemies of India http://www.indiandefencereview.com/2010 ... dians.html

Two incidents have exposed some real faces of the enemies of India, masquerading as respectable citizens – first being the killing of the Maoist leader Azad and the latest, abduction of security personnel in Bihar.

There were plethora of intelligence inputs which indicated that Maoists were planning to carry out large scale attacks in Bihar to subvert the election process by way of terrorism.

On 29 August 2010, they had abducted a BDO in north-Bihar. A few days before, huge amount of explosives, enough to cause mayhem in whole of Bihar, was seized in Munger.

When the Maoists abducted the security personnel, they were certain that the state would yield. The tough posturing by the state has completely unsettled them and their representative in Delhi. Some of them are soliciting air-time on various TV channels. Some channels, given their pro-Maoist and leftist bias, are only too willing to go out of their way to accommodate them. Some of these elements were in touch with the Maoists in deciding whether Abhay Yadav or Tete should be eliminated first in order to carryout effective bargain. It is learnt that in the interest of the Maoist movement in Bihar, they decided on Tete as he belonged to Chhattisgarh. :(

To the Maoists, the loss of Cherukuri Rajkuma Azad has been severe because it came in the wake of the massacre of CRPF personnel at Dantewada after which the Maoists were riding a new high. Psychologically, the Maoists had begun to feel invincible, as it often happens with terrorist groups when they begin to underestimate the State’s capability to strike back.

The loss of one leader should not have mattered to an ideological and militant cadre based anti-national outfit. But the Maoists or any such groups are very sensitive to the loss of their top leadership because they constitute ‘the brain’, and Azad was one of them. The Maoists are conscious that once the top leadership is neutralized, such movements begin to flounder. The loss of lower-level or to an extent middle-level leadership does not cause much disconcertment among the Maoists, because they are easily supplanted.

Terrorism is like a hydra (with several heads) monster. To crush it, all heads have to be severed. The underground Maoist leadership is just one head, but the most difficult head to severe is the vast network of Maoist in form of individuals and organizations, who in the veneer of social activism, intellectualism and white collared professionals are engaged in anti-national activities.

Having been associated with the ultra-leftist movement for more than four decades, Azad was at the apex of the Maoist hierarchy. During this period, he had built extensive links with forces inimical to India namely the LTTE, the New Peoples Army of Philippines, the Maoists in Nepal, elements in China, the ISI of Pakistan, insurgent groups in the northeast, and Islamic terrorists in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.

The top Maoist leadership is so unnerved at the loss of Azad because the Indian Security apparatus has been able to track down other top leaders as well. Most of them feel that they are next in the line. As per some sources, on several occasions, the Indian agencies through its human and technical resources were successful in ascertaining the pin-point location of Kishanji, but deliberately allowed him to slip on the orders of the government due to tactical reasons. Reportedly, on one occasion, it was done at the behest of the West Bengal government.

More than anything else, the killing of Azad has exposed the level of infiltration and wide network of Maoists in the media, in the universities (both amongst students and teachers), amongst the academicians and so called intellectuals, and above all the mainstream politicians. Even if, the allegations of ‘false encounter’ are true, the din of the orchestrated clamour for investigation into death of a person, who was a criminal and a fugitive from law is inexplicable to the countrymen. Azad was involved in a dozen murders including the killing of the Congress leader Narsa Reddy. He carried a reward of Rs.12,00,000/-

The common law-abiding citizens of this country are confounded to see a ‘saffron clad activist’, a one book wonder fiction writer and a cabinet minister, along with many others of their ilk, so passionately demanding a probe into Azad’s killing as if it was a ‘martyrdom’, and as if the entire solution to the Maoist problem hinges on proving that Azad was killed in a false encounter.

Recently on 3rd August, a public meeting to demand the judicial enquiry into the alleged fake-encounter of Azad was attended by these very elements in Delhi. Significantly, it was addressed by the Chairman EM Abdul Rahman of Popular Front of India, an extremist Islamic organization active in South India, which was recently in news for allegedly chopping off the hands of a Christian professor in Kerala. The dangerous internal and external linkages of the Maoists came to the fore in this meeting.

A comment on a web article ‘HC turns down slain Naxal leader’s mother’s plea’ on rediff.com, sums up the common man’s feeling: “actually Azad was a Gandhian. He had never hurt a fly, not even a mosquito. So much, he never used a mosquito repellent. When police found with a AK-47, Azad did not know it was real. Out of fun, he fired at the police thinking it was fake … so police should be pulled up for killing a fake Maoist”.

A weekly English magazine has devoted its issue on the incident. There are graffiti all over Jawaharlal Nehru University in support of Azad. It is a university, where education is almost totally subsidized by the Government of India just as Azad received similar subsidized education at Regional Engineering College, Warangal from where he got his M.Tech degree.

The Maoists have managed to draw wedge in the Indian polity, in fact, in every segment of Indian society. They have also been trying to divide the security forces and play on their sentiments. One activist urged the Nitish Government on television to not to treat his security personnel as insects and meet the demands of the Maoists. He has appealed to the Maoist leader Avinash (alluded as Avinash ji by the activist) to postpone the deadline of elimination of the remaining three policemen by 24 hours. He is continuously urging the government to release the eight Maoist leaders in jail. Not once, has he urged the Maoists to release the abducted policemen immediately and without conditions. It is for the readers to decide whether he is an activist, or a politician, or a Maoist.

Another Maoist sympathizer has tried to drive a wedge in the security forces by saying on television that the government only acts when officers are abducted, then he went to communalize the issue by suggesting that the government has not been acting to meet the Maoist demands because members of certain religious communities were amongst the hostage. These are most dangerous faces of the Maoists.

Terrorism is like a hydra (with several heads) monster. To crush it, all heads have to be severed. The underground Maoist leadership is just one head, but the most difficult head to severe is the vast network of Maoist in form of individuals and organizations, who in the veneer of social activism, intellectualism and white collared professionals are engaged in anti-national activities. They are pathologically anti-establishment, who specialize in indoctrinating unsuspecting and innocent minds to view the glass ‘half empty’ rather than ‘half full’. It is this constituency that we see on an overdrive on the Azad issue and the latest abduction by Maoists in Bihar. They are struggling for the preservation and promotion of the Maoist cause even if it means the withering of India. Unless, they are crushed the curse of leftwing extremism, will keep ‘growing its limbs’.

In their youth, some of these elements manage to join the academics and civil services. Few amongst them, change their ways after tasting the power and privileges. The left-outs and the hardcore ones continue to subvert the country for the rest of their lives. They are partly sustained by ideology, partly by their individual and external agenda, partly by monetary inducements from Maoists and external sources. The government has details about their anti-national activities, but they are getting away because of the magnanimity of the liberal Indian political system, which they want to overthrow by the barrel of the gun.

Can only pray that most of the tactical reasons were to use him as a bait to hunt down other Naxals and the "tactical reasons" were not just "political compulsions"

^^ Hope this incident forces Nitish Kumar to read the riot act on LWE. PC and INC have a point, especially when NDA folks defend Nitish Kumar as a no-nonsense developmentist alone. On the one hand, Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi whines about INC's lack of cojones in swatting LWE, on the other hand, his party is trucking with one of the main obstructors to a joint attack on the maoseaules. Even INC has no unified theme in taking these people. Thank god for small happinesses in the form of Prez rule in JHK.

Close aide blows whistle on Teesta Setlvad



‘She influenced witnesses to wrongly testify in courts'

A former close associate of social activist Teesta Setalvad has sought permission to testify before the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the post-Godhra riot cases about the way she influenced the witnesses to wrongly testify before courts.

...

“I wish to state that these affidavits were not prepared by me and were sent to me by Teesta Setalvad of CJP from Mumbai for obtaining signature of witness Nanumiya. Nanumiya’s allegation against me that I inserted certain paragraphs in his affidavit without his knowledge is totally false, as I never made any changes in his affidavit. Nanunuya has signed the affidavits sent by Teesta, under whom I was working during that period.”
In a letter dated September 1 to SIT chief RK Raghavan, SC judge DK Jain and HS Vora, Judge Special Designated Court (SIT), Ahmedabad, Khan said, “I wish to give a statement to SIT to clarify my position on such baseless allegations and (I am) also willing to disclose how innocent witnesses and victims were misguided by Teesta Setalvad to wrongly testify before many courts.” A copy of the letter is with The Pioneer.

Khan went on to add, “I am sure I may be given a chance to disclose various facts before the SIT related to not only these cases but other cases also.”

In the past, Khan had also alleged that the CJP, a Mumbai-based NGO, was instrumental in organising payment of `1 lakh each to as many as 10 witnesses in various post-Godhra riot cases. The money came from the CPI(M) relief fund and was distributed months before the witnesses deposed in the courts, five years after the clashes took place. Four other eyewitnesses received `50,000 each.
The revelation had come in the backdrop of reports that a host of Gujarat riot case victims were misled into signing affidavits giving false information at the behest of CJP.

A local TV channel had reported yesterday that Centre Home Sec. G.K Pillai is in Kerala today. A series of high level meetings (with civil and police officials) are also planned. As per the TV report this meeting is crucial, as the Central Govt. feels that things are not so peaceful in Kerala. In the "Professor's hand chopping case", Kerala Govt. has discreetly asked the NIA to take up this case. This was when the K.P investigations were going on and 3-4 arrests were made. The Home Secretary would also visit the coastal police stations to see how coastal security setup is in Kerala.

Looks like Islamic terrorism in Kerala is now slowly becoming uncontrollable and the Central Govt., now keenly tracking it. I am happy that the central agencies are at least in the know how of things.

India Got Warning For The Next Terrorist Attacks.

India is warned of possible terrorist attacks in public places, especially in New Delhi and Mumbai, and advised its citizens not to travel to Jammu and Kashmir due to frequent armed clashes and terrorist activities there.The DFAT said Australia continues to receive reports about terrorists plans to attack public places, including hotels and tourist locations, in New Delhi, Mumbai and other major cities.

Terrorists may also be planning attacks against Indian political and security interests. The advisory also asked Australians not to travel to Jammu and Kashmir, other than to the Ladakh region via Manali, or by air to the city of Leh, due to frequent armed clashes and terrorist activities.

It also asked citizens to reconsider their need to travel to the north-eastern states of Assam, Nagaland, Tripura and Manipur because of the "risk of armed robbery, kidnapping, extortion and terrorism-related incidents."

"If you do decide to travel to these areas, you should exercise extreme caution, noting that many past attacks in Indian cities have been indiscriminate and not directed at a particular target.

On April 2010, explosions occurred outside a stadium hosting an Indian Premier League cricket match in Bangalore. Travellers were also warned against visiting during "major secular and religious holidays which could provide terrorist groups an opportunity or pretext to stage an attack," it said.

On Commonwealth Games, the advisory asked travellers attending the Games to register their travel and contact details in advance of their trip.

It is advised, not to travel in the immediate vicinity of the border with Pakistan, other than at the international border crossing at Atari-Wagah.

Hope its not too late in Mallu-land....The consequences of a anti-Indian caliphate deep south with neighbours like old Hyderabad, S.Karnataka( Bangalore, the costal regions like Bhatkal and Ramanagaram ( which seems to have disproportionate lot of IM population) and a assertive IM population waiting to explode in TN( just held back by Dravidian movement till now) are really frightening..

I dont know about other places, but in Tamland, the assertion of the Muslims can only go so far. For that one has to understand the context of "ass"ertion in Tamland.

Just look at Sri Lanka as an example study. As the Muslims tried to assert, the backlash was violent and even though the Muslims speak the same language, the divide goes very deep even to this day. The only reason that the Muslims have a political voice today is because of demographic play -- the Buddhists used and continue to use the Muslims as a pawn in the chess game between Hindus and Christians (!) on one side and Buddhists on the other side. You take away the politically devious and cunning set (which the Sinhala Buddhist chauvinists have been from the pre-48 days) from this midst, this game can only end in one direction: immense blood-letting on both sides. Since demographics is no issue here, the Muslims will end up losing far more than the Hindus. To top that, blood-letting is par for the course in the rural hinterland of TN. The game changer is obviously the slow conversion of the Tamland population to Christianity, esp in the Lower Cauvery Delta districts of the SE -- we have at least 3/40 constituencies where BJP even harbors hope; obviously that cannot happen without the LCM being Hindu assertion rather than caste assertion which is par for the course in TN so far. But before the critical mass builds up on that side, the contour of civilizational crisis might have just shifted up north and east IMHO.

You know, there is quite a segment that takes pride in saying that The Partition Riots had no impact in the South, but for may be the erstwhile Hyderabad Province. There is a lesson there for folks to understand. When many of these language dhaagas open up and loadsa folks rile about why Tamland is being an ass in terms of the "national" language debate, I cant but rotfl at the ignoramuses. One has to give credit to the old custodians -- however divisive and oiseaulish they were from the point of nation-building as seen today -- who could channel the genie into a language consciousness rather than a religious consciousness. That unity is perhaps more clearer in the case of Kerala, but the godless communists hijacked the language consciousness in the post-56 phase and bulldozed their own brand of utter rubbish. Less clear is the case of AP.

Point being: there has been quite a segment in India where despite the best efforts of those trapped in particular circumstances, actions taken for good motives have only resulted in bad consequences. Tamland is a good example of where actions taken for bad motives have resulted in some good consequences as seen in hindsight today. You put that left and right with what goes on in what could well be Bangassam, you get the stark contrast of the divide. I could stretch this far and add a gloomy subtext just to seek a counter-point: Maulana Bhasani could be rotfling in his grave given that our internal religious consciousness looks pretty much like how Churchill's position was in 1941 vis-a-vis the liquidation of the British empire.

Thanks for the detailed reply( as always) , Stan-saar. However, didnt understand this part:

Could you please elaborate ( esp on the last sentence)?

NEW DELHI: Even as Chinese and Pakistani online espionage agents continue their attempts to hack into Indian computer systems, hostile intelligence agencies are also trying to steal defence secrets through use of computer storage media (CSM) devices like pen drives, removable hard disks, CDs, VCDs and the like.

The Intelligence Bureau has sounded a red alert about "intelligence officers of a hostile country'' encouraging their "assets'' working in Indian defence establishments to use CSM devices to pilfer classified information from computer networks.

"There have been reports of increasing number of incidents of leakage of data/documents in defence establishments through the use of pen drives and other digital storage devices,'' says the security alert, issued to the defence ministry as well as the Army, Navy and IAF HQs.

Consequently, MoD has ordered a thorough review of the entire policy on "the entitlement and usage of CSM devices'' in its different establishments, said sources.

While acknowledging the functional necessity to allow some officers to use such devices, MoD has asked for a comprehensive directorate-wise list of pen drives, laptops and internet connections being used in its different offices.

This comes even as the Army is conducting a court of inquiry against a major posted in the strategically-located Andaman and Nicobar Command, who had stored over 2,000 classified and sensitive documents on his personal computer which was "hacked'' from Pakistan earlier this year.

While the major has been cleared of espionage charges, the probe dwells upon how he was in the "unauthorised'' possession of so many secret documents, normally handled by much senior officers, and why he violated cyber-security guidelines, which expressly prohibit such files from being stored on a computer with internet connectivity.

With cyber-warfare being a top military priority for China, its online espionage agents frequently break into sensitive Indian computer networks. A group of Canadian and American cyber-security researchers in their recent report `Shadows in the Cloud', in fact, held China-based hackers were regularly accessing classified documents from several Indian defence and security establishments, as reported by TOI earlier.

MoD, however, says "only certain internet-facing computers, which had no sensitive defence data, were compromised'' by the Chinese hackers. To prevent such incidents from recurring, "a crisis management plan'' has been worked out "for measured response in case of any untoward incident''.

The Defence Information Assurance and Research Agency (DIARA), a nodal agency mandated to deal with all cyber-security matters, for instance, is working closely with national agencies like the Computer Emergency Response Team and the National Technical Research Organisation. The armed forces, on their part, are also on a high alert to guard against "focussed large-scale cyber attacks'' on their networks.

It seems their are riots in Bengal. Very few news outlets reporting it (as usual), and even when are reporting, no details other than the usual 'two gropus', so its kind of hard to find whats going to exactly is going on, other than the obvious 'RoP mobs on rampage'.

http://www.hindu.com/2010/09/08/stories ... 560100.htm
DEGANGA (WEST BENGAL): One youth was killed and several vehicles were torched in clashes between two groups since Monday night over demarcating the boundary of a burial ground at Nagerjheel here in North 24 Parganas district. Prohibitory orders under Section 144 of the Cr.PC were clamped in the entire Deganga police station area. Army jawans staged a flag march. According to a senior district official, the setting up of a makeshift structure along the boundary wall of the Deganga burial ground triggered the clashes.

Amir Khan has plenty, apparently. Even B Raman has complained about raa afsars getting exposed to known handlers from amir khan. I think it was in his book RANDW. All for coveted GC for themselves and kids. Sunanda Datta Ray is another journo who has pointed out the fawning attitude of MEA afsars towards amirkhan afsars.

SATP:
According to The Hindu, Union Home Secretary G. K. Pillai arriving at the Neendakara coastal Police Station in Kollam on September 6 said that according to reports reaching the Union Ministry of Home Affairs, the activities of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) are gaining strength in Kerala. Talking to the media after inspecting the coastal Police Station at Neendakara, he said a Maoist camp was operating in Wayanad District. The Maoists were trying to experiment a joint action with like-minded groups in the State and, if ignored, it could pose serious problems.
I thought with the arrest of Govindan Kutty, things will calm down. Too much hope in me I guess.
The Hindu reports that Union Home Secretary G.K. Pillai said on September 6 that there was no need for the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to inquire into the attack on lecturer T.J. Joseph at Muvattupuzha in Kerala as the State Police were investigating the case creditably. Speaking to newspersons, Pillai said the State Government had made no demand for an NIA investigation into the incident. It had only intimated the Centre about the ongoing investigation. As regards the radical outfit Popular Front of India (PFI) whose cadres allegedly had attacked Joseph, Pillai said that the State Police was aware of the activities of the PFI and it was under close watch but there had been no discussion about banning the outfit, as of yet.

There were reports which indicated that Naxalites may be behind the sabotage of a passenger train at Nilambur Rd. Railway Station in Malappuram (Rediff.com report).

The police had also picked up a Naxal sympathiser in this regard. SATP report and Kaumudi News report.

There was another chap picked up by Nilambur Police, would try to get some report on that later.

If I can sense the mood of the people from news reports and TV debates, there are high chances that the professor may be reinstated. Even the official spokesman for the church, in his personal capacity had remarked that the punishment was a bit too much. The students and the college staff have taken protest marches against the dismissal order. The professor already have provisions for appeal. Looks like the commies are testing the water along with the church to judge the popular sentiments in this case.

If you ask me, hand chopping plus the dismissal is like a double whammy. And it also gives an impression that the church has given in to the Muslim hate mongers. Since he already was "punished" (illegally by a kangaroo court of RoP fanatics), it was better to have allowed the professor back to work, at least to prove a point that the society in general is supporting the teacher against the attacks from religious fanatics.

BTW, two more chaps actively involved in the hand chopping have been picked up from Coimbatore by the special team of K.P. (Mathrubhumi:English)

Hindus flee from Riot Hit Bengal District - But to where ? Bay of Bengal?

24 hurt in Bengal clashes, RAF called out
September 08, 2010 11:47:10 AM

PNS | Kolkata

Rapid Action Force was called out as members of two communities clashed in the Basirhat sub-division of North 24 Parganas, about 150 km from Kolkata, leaving at least 24 persons, including the officer-in-charge of a police station, injured.

Reportedly, clashes started around 11 pm on Monday and continued intermittently till Tuesday morning when members of one community started digging the pathway leading to a Durga temple at Chattal Pally village in Deganga police station, sources said.

“When repeated requests to stop the digging failed, we called the police,” said one of the victims, adding that the clashes started only when the police intervened.

Some people reportedly led by local ruffians — Maqbur Rehman and Mintu Sahji — attacked shops selectively and ransacked a couple of religious places, sources said, adding that a mob of about 500 persons resorted to massive stone-pelting, injuring three policemen. Officer-in-charge of Deganga, Arup Ghosh, received head injuries and suffered fracture in his hand.

District Magistrate V Kumar said precautions had been taken and curfew had been clamped in the area. Paramilitary forces had been called out to assist the RAF, sources said, refusing to give further details.

Two temples of Kartickpur and Deganga Biplabi colony were desecrated by the mob, sources said. “When we protested, they chased us with swords and hurled bombs. The police intervened but were hopelessly outnumbered,” Anil, a local who was also injured in the clashes, said.

A particular community wanted to stop the 25-year Durga Puja in the area but failed in the face of resistance from the other community, sources said, but added that in recent times the administration in its bid to woo the minorities after the 2009 General Elections “simply looked the other way leaving us at their mercy”.

The clashes spread to Kartickpur, Kadambagachi area as four stationary buses were torched. Traffic on the Deganga-Kadambagachi-Basirhat route came to a standstill even as the police resorted to lathicharge to control the crowd. The mob attacked shops at Beliaghata market as well, police sources said, adding, the situation was tense but under control.

“The situation could have been even worse had it not been a bandh day on Tuesday,” police said and added that the area, a busy market place on a normal day, could have witnessed major violence.

Basirhat, a parliamentary constituency bordering Bangladesh held till 2009 by the CPI, was wrested by Trinamool Congress’ Nurul Islam. Deganga-Berachapa, which has a Muslim population of more than 69 per cent, had been otherwise a peaceful area which made news only in 2008 following reports of land-acquisition. The local population united against the reported Government move to acquire land leading the administration to shelve the projects.

Eight out of 29 blocks have a ‘minority-dominated’ population, thanks to unchecked infiltration from Bangladesh, locals complained, adding, the protest against infiltration continued to be an irritant between the two communities.

TC leader Ratna Chowdhury was pressuring the police not to take any action against the erring mob which selectively looted and ransacked shops of a particular community,” said Anil.

There was no communication from administration. Locals complained both the Left and the TC leaders, including Islam, were backing the attackers. “We are under continuous threat in our own country and if this trend continues, we will have to migrate to some other district,” Subhashis Tarafdar, a local, said.

Bengal and Asom are lost causes, seems like. In the worst case, which is also increasingly seeming like the most probable case, sooner or later we will have to cede them to Bangladesh anyway, perhaps, in spirit if not in letter.

Am sure the sekelar angrezi media will keep a tight lid on the matter. But am told, survival is mighty strong instinct in even as beaten up and traumatized a people as Bangla Yindus have been. WOnder what the vernacular press is saying.... Are they too muzzled by the sekular conspiracy of silence? What is the Hindi press in neighboring Bihar-Jharkhand and the Oriya press in Odisha saying, is they have deigned to even notice that is?

Time will tell if yinduism will survive past 2-3 decades, max, in our benighted east.

Just interchange the two communities, change the state to K'taka/Uttaranchal or the home of the devil himself,Gujarat and see how the same mute media will burst into life with all sorts of foreign countries also expressing concern.

Assam and WB are lost causes onlee...Only hope is that the current majority are pushed into such a corner that they actually do something about it and not just abandon everything to the BDs ( like the KPs did to the communal Paki like KMs)
