Congress President So-nia Gandhi led a protest and described the sus-pension as “a murder of democracy.” “Don’t need to learn democracy from the Congress which im-posed Emergency... it’s a very painful decision but the Speaker had no other option,” said par-liamentary affairs minis-ter Venkaiah Naidu.

Opposition Parties Request Speaker to Revoke Congress MPs’ Suspension

Dal and the Trinamool Congress have asked Ms Mahajan to reconsid-er her order suspending the Congress lawmakers for “persistently, wil-fully obstructing” the House. Sources say there has been discussion on this in the government ranks too, with BJP ally the Akali Dal saying the punishment is excessive. But there are others in the government who said they welcomed the relief of being able to get some work done in the Lok Sabha. The Con-

gress has continuously disrupted both Houses of Parliament in the last two weeks of the mon-soon session and little parliamentary business has been transacted amid repeated adjournments. Today, the Lok Sabha functioned with not just the Congress, but sever-al other parties like the Trinamool Congress, the Janata Dal United, the Samajwadi Party and the Left boycotting pro-ceedings to show their solidarity with the main opposition party.

FSSAI-approved lab finds Maggi noodles safeAgency | New Delhi

In a major boost to Nestle India, FSSAI-approved laboratory of Central Food Technological Re-search Institute (CFTRI) has found Maggi noodles to be in compliance with the country’s food safe-ty standards. CFTRI had tested five samples sent by Goa Food and Drug Administration (FDA) when Maggi was banned in June in the wake of findings in Uttar Pradesh and other states that the instant noodles brand

had lead levels beyond permissible limits. “CF-TRI finding shows that samples are in compli-ance with the food safety standards as per the Food Safety and Standards Rules, 2011,” Goa FDA director Salim A Veljee said. Goa FDA had sent the Maggi noodles sam-ples to Mysore-based CF-TRI for retesting of the safety of instant noodles after FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) expressed appre-hensions on state FDA’s

initial report, which had found lead within permis-sible limits. In June this year, Nestle had to take Maggi off the shelves, af-ter few states decided to

ban the noodles. FSSAI had also banned Maggi instant noodles terming them “unsafe and haz-ardous” for human con-sumption.

brought to justice. The case has lin-gered on for far too long,” Tariq Khosa writes in the article. Ten Pakistani ter-

rorists sneaked into Mumbai from the sea in November 2008 and massacred 166 Indians and foreigners in an attack

that almost brought the two countries to war. One of the terrorists, Ajmal Kasab, was caught and later hanged in India. Se-curity forces killed the others. Islamabad initial-ly denied any links with the attackers but later admitted that Kasab and the masterminds were Pa-kistani nationals. Khosa pointed out that Kasab was a Pakistani and that the Lashkar-e-Tai-ba (LeT) terrorists who attacked Mumbai were trained near Thatta in Sindh and launched by sea from there. “The training camp was iden-

tified and secured by the investigators. The casings of the explosive devices used in Mumbai were re-covered from this training camp and duly matched. “Third, the fishing trawl-er used by the terrorists for hijacking an Indian trawler in which they sailed to Mumbai was brought back to harbour, then painted and con-cealed. It was recovered by the investigators and connected to the accused. “Fourth, the engine of the dinghy abandoned by the terrorists near Mum-bai harbour contained a patent number through

which the investigators traced its import from Ja-pan to Lahore and then to a Karachi sports shop from where an LeT-linked militant purchased it along with the dinghy. The money trail was fol-lowed and linked to the accused who was arrest-ed. “Fifth, the ops room in Karachi, from where the operation was direct-ed, was also identified and secured by the inves-tigators. The communica-tions through Voice over Internet Protocol were unearthed. “Sixth, the al-leged commander and his deputies were identified and arrested. Seventh, a couple of foreign-based financiers and facilitators were arrested and brought to face trial,” Khosa said. The retired official said that the Mumbai case was unique, and that proving conspiracy in a different jurisdiction was more complex and required a far superior quality of ev-idence. “Therefore, the legal experts from both sides need to sit together rather than sulk and point fingers.” Khosa asked: “Are we as a nation pre-pared to muster the cour-age to face uncomfort-able truths and combat the demons of militancy that haunt our land?”

QUOTE OF THE

DAYBJP’s non-strategy in Parliament

Finally, after a year of trying to get a new land acqui-sition law passed in Parliament, the Narendra Modi government has given up. On Monday, the govern-ment clearly hinted that the controversial clauses in the original 2013 law—which it sought to change—will be brought back. These are the so-called con-sent and social impact assessment clauses. Political-ly, this is a big setback for the government and is a clear reflection of the absence of a parliamentary strategy. In the months after it came to power, the government repeatedly issued ordinances to bring in a changed version of the 2013 land acquisition law. Under these ordinances, a number of changes were made to the law that enabled easier acquisition of land by diluting the consent of those affected and deleted the social impact assessment clause. This was a risky strategy: As a signal of its intent, issuing ordinances served a purpose but unless it was con-verted into a law, it could backfire badly and instead signal that the government did not have traction in Parliament. These fears have been proven right. The government’s failed gamble, however, has less to do with numbers in Parliament and more to do with strategic acumen. In the Lok Sabha, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has a clear edge; in the Rajya Sabha it does not have even a simple majority. Over-coming this legislative hurdle required the party and government to plan for a joint session of Parliament where their numbers could have prevailed. For that to happen, the bill needed to be voted down in the Rajya Sabha after clearance by the Lok Sabha. This is an essential condition for calling a joint session. This strategy was never contemplated seriously. For any government, there is a 16-18 month window af-ter it assumes power to bring in tough laws. After that, India’s electoral calendar catches up, forcing the government to give up reforms and concentrate on re-election. The window for a joint session and consequent passage of a better land law lay some-where in the budget session of Parliament and now that has passed. This year, state assembly elections are due in Bihar and the electoral calendar is packed in the years ahead as well. Is this the end of the BJP government’s legislative reforms drive? For the time being at least, it seems to be the case. In case the Bi-har election goes in its favour, the government may be able to summon some will power and go back to the drafting table. Otherwise, the road to a new land law is effectively closed. That, however, is only one problem staring at the government and the BJP. The climb-down on the land law will further em-bolden the Congress party and running Parliament may become tough for the BJP. This development is a reason for worry not only for the BJP but for all Indians.

There is much hue and cry over gender disparity in the film industry with unequal pay becoming a hot topic for debate. But actress Richa Chadha says remuneration has nothing to do with gender, but de-pends on how one’s films fare at the box office. “It is very simple. It all depends how many tickets you sell at the box office. It has nothing to do with gender.

If two people are equal in terms of their work and then an actor gets paid more, then that is stupid. If you are equal at the pull of the box office, then you should be paid at par,” Ri-cha. Richa, who is being lauded for her internation-ally acclaimed film “Ma-saan”, also emphasised that she cannot compare her pay scale with super-stars like Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan.

It’s the era of Biopics in Bollywood and the latest actor to join the bandwag-on is Sonakshi Sinha who is playing underworld don Dawood Ibrahim’s sister Haeena Parkar in an up-coming project. Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, Hasee-na - The Queen of Mumbai will soon go on the floors. Sonakhsi says the film has a “brilliant script” and she “can’t wait” to take on

Haseena Parkar, the elder sister of Dawood, died in July last year. She shot to fame after some rival gangsters led by Arun Gawli gunned down

her husband Ismail Park-ar in a gang war in 1991 which led to a spate of brutal retaliatory killings from the Dawood gang at that time. Subsequently, Haseena was reportedly acting as the don’s Mum-bai business head. Though officially she was not di-rectly implicated in any underworld activities, it is believed that in parts of south Mumbai, nothing moved without her nod.

Talented Chinglensana Singh and seasoned SV Sunil struck a goal apiece as Indian men’s hockey team started their tour of Europe on a bright note with a 2-0 win over hosts France. The Sardar Singh-led team dominated the proceedings throughout in their opening game which was held on Monday. The Indians drew first blood in the 18th minute (3rd minute of second quarter) when the opportunistic Chinglensana capitalised on the defensive lapse to enter the D and the pow-

erfully struck hit found the back of the net. The favourites increased the pressure on the French side with repeated raids in the opposition attack-ing third, which resulted in the second goal by SV Sunil. Sardar, SK Uthap-pa, Danish Mujtaba and Devinder Walmiki were instrumental in India en-joying the better of ex-changes and ball posses-sion. Sunil, Ramandeep Singh and Akashdeep Singh kept French de-fence on tenterhooks throughout the second quarter. The highly skill-

ful Sunil scored a bril-liant field goal as he did the spadework dribbling past a host of French de-fenders before slotting the ball home in the 26th minute (11th minute of second quarter). Indian team held onto their lead till the end of the game. France upped the ante in the third quarter but the India defence foiled their goal-scoring bid.

Rajubhai Gosai, 56, a tai-lor living in Nikol area of the city, learnt about his malfunctioning kidneys in a rather unpleasant way. His wife, Indu, was on regular dialysis as both her kidneys had failed. Gosai offered to donate a kidney for his wife but, following medical tests, he was shocked to learn that he was himself at risk of kidney failure. This information proved a life-saver. He imme-diately began treatment and saved his kidneys. Recalling how his wife’s kidney failure was detect-ed, Gosai said Indu began complaining of pain in the lower abdomen four years ago. “She also had vomit-ing episodes,” Gosai said. “Doctors finally suggest-ed a few tests which re-vealed that her creatinine level was very high. The doctors suggested imme-

diate treatment and asked us to start looking for kid-ney donors.” Creatinine is produced during the metabolism of creatine found in the blood, and is excreted with urine.When the kidneys don’t function properly, the creatinine can’t be excret-ed and, therefore, its lev-el in the blood begins to rise, leading to weakness and dehydration. “When doctors at the Institute of Kidney Disease and Re-search Centre (IKDRC) got a matching kidney, they conducted a trans-plant operation on Indu early in July this year,” said Gosai.”Till then she was on regular dialysis.” IKDRC is attached to the city’s Civil Hospital. Indu, 52 years old now, feels deeply indebted to her donor. “I am still on antibiotics and have to take some other drugs too but there has been sig-nificant improvement in

In a first, the new G-DOT guidelines will clearly de-fine criteria for hospitals registered as Organ and Tissue Transplant Hos-pital (OTTH) and for or-gan retrieval in the state. It will also empower the state health authorization committee and SOTTO to even order a “death au-dit” of any malpractice involved while declaring deceased donors as brain dead or an organ recipi-ent post surgery, to fix re-sponsibility on hospitals and medical practitioners. The state government will also empower the newly formed Gujarat University of Transplantation Science

(GUTS) to provide train-ing for government and private hospitals for organ retrival and transplantation activity. What G-DOT has strictly prohibited is access to the donor and receipient list under Right to Infor-mation (RTI) Act. “This clause has been deliber-ately proposed as the in-formation on donors or re-ceipients may be misused. The list will be the acces-sible to the National Organ and Tissue Transplantation Organization (NOTTO),” says a senior health offi-cial. the official adds that the SOTTO centre will be operational 24x7 and will be headed by an organ transplantation expert.

Hope lives on harvested organsmy condition,” she said. “I strongly advocate or-gan donation.” Another organ recipient is Im-ran Shaikh, a 21-yearold youth from Shah-e-Alam area of the city. Shaikh, who is still admitted in Civil Hospital, had a kid-ney transplant in July . He said he had started working early in life to support his family. “One day two-and-a halfyears ago, blood appeared in my eyes,” Shaikh said. “I was rushed to the hospi-tal where I was diagnosed with high blood pressure. My parents did every-thing to keep me alive after doctors declared that both my kidneys had failed. I registered with the hospital for a kidney donation two years ago.” Shaikh received a kidney taken from a cadaver. “Af-ter my treatment is over, I want to support my fami-ly which is financially not well off,” he said.

tion activities in Godhra using five different RTI applications. She asked as to why the civic body had not demolished 17 complexes situated in dif-ferent localities in Godhra despite the HC order re-

garding the same in 2009. She also sought no-objec-tion copies of “illegally” constructed houses and details on educational de-grees of chief engineer with Godhra municipality, Bhadresh Pandya.

unit has been hijacked by a coterie of three per-sons. They are taking all the decisions in the name of the party high-com-mand and promoting cor-ruption,” Zala said. He blamed Nitin Bhardwaj, incumbent chairman of the RMC standing com-mittee, Water Supply Minister Vijay Rupani and Dhansukh Bhanderi,

chairman of Gujarat Mu-nicipal Finance Board, for his decision. “When I was the standing commit-tee chairman, Rupani and Bhanderi asked me to tell contractors of Mukhya-mantri Awaas Yojana projects to send money to our party office. They said in view of the im-pending 2014 Lok Sabha elections, party needed

funds and suggested that I should demand one per cent of the total proj-ect cost for the party. The projects were worth Rs700 crore. But, I re-fused to oblige and wrote a letter to Modi, who was then chief minister of Gujarat,” said Zala, who was standing committee chairman from June 2013 to June 2014.

(farmers) condition has worsened. This can be understood from the num-ber of farmer suicides.” The Gujarat government on floor of the Assembly has so far denied that the number of farmer sui-cides was significant in the state. “Chief Minis-ter Anandiben Patel goes house to house seeking votes. She should visit our households to know how we have been suf-fering,” said 42-year-old Geeta Patel from Gand-hinagar. “Our sons and

daughters, despite scor-ing 80-90 per cent, have been deprived of college admissions and later gov-ernment jobs.” The state, so far, has witnessed near-ly 10 rallies since July by various Patel groups, which have now come under the umbrella of Pa-tidars Anamat Andolan Samiti. Youths, wom-en and elderly, they all walked from Gh-O road to open ground at Upa-vas Chavni, where they observed a two-minute silence. While the crowd

remained at the ground, a few representatives led by Gandhinagar Sardar Patel Sevadal president Gaurang Patel, under the police watch, were taken to the collector’s office to submit the memoran-dum. “To avoid untow-ard incident like the one in Visnagar, as many as 4 DSPs and 14 police inspectors were oversee-ing the security arrange-ment,” said a top police official. On July 16, a similar rally at Visnagar in Mehsana district had

turned violent and agi-tators had ransacked the office of local BJP MLA Rishikesh Patel and torched a vehicle. State BJP president Ranchod-das Faldu, last week, had stated that the Patidars should make their rep-resentation to a “right platform”. He, however, had called the agitation a “political ploy”. The memorandum further said that the majority of Kadva and Leuva Patels were still engaged in ag-ricultural activities.

Seven relief camps have been set up and 132 boats pressed into service for rescue operations.
