Sangma blames Pranab for price rise,
corruption
Amritsar/New Delhi, June 26: A day after inviting rival Pranab
Mukherjee for a debate, BJP-backed Presidential candidate PA Sangma took him on
directly, blaming him for the slowdown of the economy.
Formally beginning his campaign
from Amritsar on Sunday, Sangma spoke to Punjab chief minister Parkash Singh
Badal, the Hindustan Times reported.
"The country today faces
devaluation of money, price rise and issues like corruption, and the finance
minister is individually responsible for this," Sangma told reporters
after the visit to the Golden Temple.
All this will definitely have an
impact during the Presidential elections, where members of the electoral
college cast a conscience vote and there is no whip, the former NCP leader
added.
In the face of solid support for
Congress candidate Mukherjee even from NDA allies like Shiv Sena and the JD(U),
Sangma is banking on the conscience vote and a "miracle".
Though BJP ally and the ruling
Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) in Punjab has offered him support, Sena leader Sanjay
Raut said on Sunday party chief Bal Thackeray would not meet Sangma.
China, Bhutan to establish formal ties,
resolve border issue
Beijing, June 26: China and the remote Himalayan nation of Bhutan
have agreed to establish diplomatic relations and resolve a long-standing
border dispute, China's foreign ministry said.
Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao
held talks with his Bhutanese counterpart Jigmi Y. Thinley on the sidelines of
the UN Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio De Janeiro on Thursday, the
ministry said in a statement, AFP reported.
"China is willing... to
establish formal relations with Bhutan, resolve the border issue between the
two nations at an early date, strengthen exchanges in all areas and advance
Sino-Bhutanese relations to a new stage," Wen said.
China appreciated Bhutan's
support for the "one China policy" which maintains that Taiwan and
Tibet fall under China's sovereignty, Wen said.
Thinley said his talks with Wen
carried historic significance as it marked the first meeting between the heads
of the two governments, the statement, posted on the ministry website, said.
"Bhutan resolutely pursues
the one China policy and has the strong desire to strengthen understanding and
friendship with China," it quoted Thinley as saying.
"(Bhutan) is willing to
establish formal diplomatic relations with China at an early date."
Bhutan, a strong ally of India,
has refrained from establishing relations with China and watched with concern
as Beijing took over control of Tibet in the 1950s.
Despite a lack of formal ties,
China and Bhutan have engaged in several rounds of talks to resolve the ongoing
dispute along the about 470 kilometres (290 miles) of shared border.
In 1998, the two sides signed an
agreement to maintain peace in the border area.
Rebel leader Golay enters Assembly, goes
on offensive mode
Gangtok, June 26: Dissident ruling Sikkim Democratic Front MLA PS
Golay has finally lived up to the people’s expectation as a rebel leader. He
gave a virtual thumbs down to Chief Minister Pawan Chamling by refusing to
stand up (while rest of the SDF legislators stood up) when he re-entered the
Assembly after seeing off the Governor, BP Singh, on the first day of the
budget session here on Monday.
The rebel leader’s reappearance
in the Assembly on the second day of the session, when the budget was presented
by the Chief Minister, has further boosted the morale of his supporters who
were visibly present everywhere in the capital. This prompted the authorities
to tighten security measures in the capital to ensure that things don’t go out
of control.
Speaking in the Assembly on the
second day, Golay, who was in a combative mood, attacked the Chamling
Government on many fronts, including the alleged Rs. 20,000 hydel power scam in
North Sikkim.
An observer said, “Golay sat on
the same chair that Chamling sat in the Assembly when he was the lone dissident
MLA in the Bhandari government.” Besides the oath-taking ceremony which he
attended after winning the Assembly polls in 2009 this is the first time that
Golay attended the Assembly session.
The three-time minister in the
Chamling cabinet is expected to float his own political outfit soon to prepare
for the Assembly polls in early 2014, according to sources close to Golay.
Editorial
TRIBAL CARD
Sangma’s ‘Conscience Vote’
Appeal
He may finally lose the presidential polls if the MPs and
MLAs fail to respond positively to his call for ‘conscience vote’. But by
choosing to participate in the presidential polls former Speaker Purno A.
Sangma has proved that he cannot be ignored given the fact that his main appeal
is on the sub-continent’s backward communities, including his own tribal clan.
By declining Sangma’s challenge for an open debate ahead of the presidential
polls Pranab Mukherjee has been able to shy away from the public domain on
matters such as economic slowdown, price rise and rampant corruption in
governance. The tribal leader is right when he says democracy demands debate
and in a democracy people have the right to choose and demand accountability.
Sangma’s utterances such as "The election will be by a
secret ballot. Secret ballot means conscience vote. I depend on conscience vote
and I believe in conscience vote" will surely provoke many citizens and
their elected representatives who are faced with a dilemma on what their
conscience says and the diktat of their political parties. Playing the tribal
card, Sangma said that he wanted to correct the historic mistakes the country
has committed as "tribals have not been given their due...I appeal to the
conscience of the nation. We have given our land, our forest, our natural
resources...please recognize us."
When at least 60 percent (5% STs, 15% SCs and 40% OBCs) of
the electoral college in the ensuing presidential polls belong to the backward
section of the population Sangma’s hopes are not misplaced. Even if he loses he
would have surely set the agenda for the next general elections in the country.
Nepal's new Maoist party targets India
India interfering in Nepal’s
political affairs: Baidya
Kathmandu, June 26:
A day after its formation, the breakaway faction of Nepal’s ruling Maoist party
launched an attack on India on Tuesday.
Communist Party of Nepal, Maoist, which parted ways from
Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) on Monday, blamed the southern
neighbour for several problems plaguing Nepal.
"India has been encroaching Nepal’s territory and interfering
in our economic, social and political affairs," CPN, (M) Chairman Mohan
Baidya told a press conference at Kathmandu while formally announcing formation
of the new party, the Hindustan Times
reported.
He also accused India of controlling political parties in
Nepal and installing and removing "puppet governments" at will.
Baidya said that the new party would strive towards
scrapping of old agreements with India like Bilateral Investment Promotion and
Protection Agreement and signing of new treaties on equal terms.
"If India doesn’t stop its interference, our energies
will be targeted against it to protect our national unity and
sovereignty," he stressed.
Baidya accused UCPN (M) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal and
Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai of having "special relations" with
India.
Terming formation of the new party as a new episode in the
country’s communist movement, he informed continuance of the unfinished tasks
of the “peoples’ revolution” in a non-violent manner as its aim.
Baidya and several members of his faction who were in Indian
jails when the Dahal-Bhattarai combine signed the peace deal on New Delhi’s
guidance had been at loggerheads with the party’s establishment faction for
digressing from "peoples’ revolution".
The new party would concentrate on formation of a third
political front comprising nationalist and leftist forces to oppose to the
ruling Maoist-Madhesi coalition and the opposition combine of Nepali Congress
and Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist Leninist).

week-long visit to Pakistan, on Wednesday called on Minister of State for
Foreign Affairs Nawabzada Malik Amad Khan.
The delegation was led by
Lopen Kunzang Wangdi, Chief Monk of the Central Monastic Body of Bhutan. Dasho
Bap Kesang Ambassador of Bhutan to Pakistan, resident in Dhaka, and his spouse
were also part of the delegation. Minister of State expressed his satisfaction
over the bilateral relations between Pakistan and Bhutan and highlighted the
historical links that date back centuries.
He recalled the meeting between Prime Minister Gilani with Jigmi Y
Thinley, Prime Minister of Bhutan when the latter visited Islamabad in March
2011.
The Minister emphasized the
need to further deepen people-to-people contacts, adding that to promote
interfaith harmony, such visit would be welcomed by Pakistan in the future as
well.
To mark the occasion, the
minister presented a replica of “Fasting Buddha” to the visitors.
The delegation will be
visiting different sites of spiritual and religious significance for Buddhism
in Mardan and Swat. The delegation will also visit Taxila and Lahore museums,
home to historical origins of Buddhism.
Wangdi thanked the Government
of Pakistan for the hospitality extended to the delegation and praised the
warmth they received from the people of Pakistan.
He expressed his admiration
for Pakistan to have preserved the historical Buddhist sites and for promoting
visit of this nature from abroad.

Panun Kashmir seeks separate homeland for JK Pandits
Jammu, June 26: Panun Kashmir last week sought establishment of a separate homeland
with full and free flow of Indian constitution in the Kashmir Valley.
"The geo-political
aspirations of the seven lakh Kashmiri Pandits can only be addressed with the
establishment of a separate Homeland with full and free flow of Indian
constitution in Kashmir valley", President Panun Kashmir Ashwani Kumar
Chrungoo said today.
The organisation held a
conference at Jammu to review the recently announced rehabilitation measures
for the displaced community and the Goa conclave, PTI reported.
Referring to the resolution
passed at the Goa conclave recently, he said the government of India should
take strong measures for the reversal of genocide and ethnic cleansing of
Kashmiri Pandits in Kashmir.
It also demanded the
abrogation of Article 370 and also demanded that the Kashmiri Pandits be
provided all facilities till they are settled in their homeland.
The resolution also demanded
that the refugees of 1947 who continue to live in the Jammu and Kashmir state
be given full citizenship rights under the constitution of India, Chrungoo
said.
Political parties not serious in fighting corruption:
Kejriwal
Shimla, June 26: Team Anna member Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday alleged that none of the
political parties were serious to combat corruption.
Kejriwal, who arrived with
Manish Sisodia here to attend an anti-corruption rally, said the country's main
opposition, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was not serious in its fight
against corruption.
"The BJP is indulging in
politics. If they are so serious then why do they not create an effective law
for the creation of the office of Lokayukta in Himachal to combat corruption?
Why are they not creating an effective anti-graft law wherever they are in
power? They are only playing politics. All the parties are playing politics,"
he said, ANI reported.
Kejriwal added that the
demonstrations undertaken by the BJP were "drama."
"Whom should the people
of Himachal Pradesh go to? A third alternative has to emerge from among the
people because the politics that is being played by both the BJP and Congress
is having an adverse impact on the country. Neither BJP nor the Congress wants
to fight against corruption. All these rallies and demonstrations are only
drama," he said.
The Right to Information
(RTI) activist urged the people of Himachal Pradesh to participate in their
campaign against corruption.
"We will once again fast
from July 25 at Jantar Mantar. When there will be fast at Jantar Mantar, then
all the people from the villages of Himachal Pradesh will have to come out and
support us," Kejriwal said.
Historic Dastageer Sahib shrine in Srinagar gutted
Srinagar, June 26: Tension gripped this Jammu and Kashmir summer
capital on Monday following a blaze that gutted the revered Peer Dastageer
Sahib shrine.
The historic Dastageer Sahib shrine in old Srinagar was
gutted in a big blaze early Monday morning.
As per latest reports the fire has now spread to some
adjoining homes as well even though fire tenders were battling to control the
blaze.
The two-century-old shrine located in the Khanyar locality
of Srinagar was an epitome of Kashmir architecture laden with ornate Khatamband
ceilings and elaborate carvings with grand chandeliers adorning the main prayer
hall, IANS reported.
The shrine contained holy relics of the revered Muslim saint
of Bhagdad, Sheikh Syed Abdul Qadir Jeelani. The shrine also housed the relics
of other Muslim saints
The shrine is thronged by thousands of people from across
the Valley on the annual Urs every year to observe the birth anniversary of the
11th century patron saint, Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jeelani.
Not only Muslims, the shrine has been an object of reverence
for Kashmiri Pandits also.
The blaze in the second most revered shrine in Kashmir after
Hazratbal is stated to have engulfed the adjacent new structures as well which
included a mosque and the under construction additional extensional structure.
The blaze has sent shockwaves across Kashmir Valley and
people were seen crying at the scene. Police had a tough time in controlling
the mob.
GJM divided on GTA polls, Gurung to meet Chidambaram
on Tuesday
Darjeeling, June 26: The meeting of the central
committee of the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM), convened at Darjeeling today to
decide whether the party should take part in the elections for the Gorkhaland
Territorial Administration (GTA), ended in a stalemate.
The
party is vertically divided, admitted Harka Bahadur Chhetri, MLA and spokesman
for the GJM. “The meeting ended in a stalemate. There is a sharp difference of
opinion,” Chhetri said.
The
party now seems to have lobbed the ball in the Centre’s court as a five-member
delegation of the Morcha led by president Bimal Gurung will leave for Delhi
this week to meet Union Home Minister P Chidambaram and Finance Minister Pranab
Mukherjee. On their way back, they will meet Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in
Kolkata, the Indian Express reported.
While
one section of the Morcha expressed its desire to go ahead with the agitation
following rejection of the Justice Shyamal Sen Committee report that allotted
only five mouzas of Terai and Dooars to GTA, another section firmly rooted for
election, saying development of the region came first. This section does not
want the hills to be rocked by turbulence again.
Another
issue that remains unresolved is whether the four GJM MLAs would attend the
Assembly session. “We have been instructed not attend the session,” Chhetri
added.
The GJM delegation,which has
expressed disappointment over recommendations of a panel report over inclusion
of new areas in the proposed hill council, will meet Chidambaram in Delhi on
Tuesday.
GJM general secretary Roshan
Giri said the delegation may also meet Union Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee
the same day.
"We will take up with
the Home Minister the Justice (Retd) Shyamal Sen Committee report", Giri
told PTI.

Gorkha Manch formed, to create greater awareness of ‘Indian
Gorkha’ identity
Siliguri, June 26: Conscious Gorkhas in the north eastern region of the country on Sunday
launched the Gorkha Bharati Vichar Manch to preserve and promote the distinct
identity of Indian Gorkhas.
Leading the movement towards
greater awareness of ‘Indian Gorkhas’ is the former Working President of
Bharati Gorkha Parisangh CK Shrestha, whose book The National Identity Crisis of the
Indian Gorkhas and the Concept of Bharati Gorkha Manch, was released during
the launch of the new organization in Siliguri.
Representatives from Sikkim,
North Bengal and the Northeast were present during the function.
The convener for the function
was Krishna Bhujel from Guwahati and Dr. BR Chettri, an eminent educationist
from Kalimpong, was present as the Guest of Honour, a release of the
organization said.
Manch leaders feel the need
to create greater awareness of the “identity issue” of Indian Gorkhas, whose
identity has been “misinterpreted and misrepresented,” the release said.
“The Vichar Manch is of the
opinion that the Indian national history has to be” re-written in the “correct
perspective so that minority communities like Gorkhas do not get sidelined and
marginalized from the country’s mainstream,” the release said.
Due to “the incorrect
interpretation of history that communities like the Gorkhas are faced with the
dilemma of always having to prove their national identity,” the release added.
INTERVIEW PA Sangma
God and time are on my side: Sangma
Former Speaker
and BJP-backed Presidential nominee PA Sangma has said that he believes that
although he may not have the numbers as yet, God is with him and that he will
win the election by a miracle.
In a candid
interview to CNNIBN’s Devil's Advocate, Karan Thapar, the leader from the
North-East said that his desire to be a part of the Presidential race stemmed
from his desire to assert his rights as a citizen of India and as a tribal.
Excerpts of the interview.
Karan Thapar: Hello and welcome to Devil’s Advocate. Given that
he has little chance of winning, why is Purno Sangma determined to contest the
presidential elections? That’s the key question I shall ask Purno Sangma
himself. Mr Sangma I have spoken to many people and practically all of them,
including many of your sponsors, say that you have very little chance of
winning. Then, why are you contesting the presidential elections?
PA Sangma: On what basis people come to a conclusion
that there is a little chance?
Thapar: Can I answer that?
Sangma: Yes.
Thapar: Even today, more than 60 per cent have decided to
support Pranab Mukherjee. In those circumstances if you stand, you would have
lost even before the first vote is counted. Sangma: Well, voting is not going to be on the
floor of Lok Sabha where three-line whip applies, where Article 56 applies.
Here Article 55 of the Constitution of India applies, which says the election
shall be by secret ballot. So, how have you started counting votes when it is
going to be a secret ballot?
Thapar: Mr Sangma you are assuming that people are going to
vote, not one or two or three people, differently to the way party suggests,
but in a massive way people are going to defect from their party’s position,
it’s impossible and you know it. You can’t get the size of conscious vote you
need to overturn a 62 per cent majority in Pranab Mukherjee’s favour?
Sangma: It has happened. Look at a history. In
1969 it had happened, why can’t it happen now?
Thapar: Those were very different circumstances where the
prime minister of the day, was secretly if not publicly, revolting against her
party. Nothing of the sort is happening this time, there is no comparison with
’69.
Sangma: Mr Karan election is a different game. I
have never lost an election, I have won nine times the Lok Sabha election, two
times the Assembly elections. So, I know what election means.
Thapar: But there is always a first time to lose and I am
putting to you that even Mamata Banerjee, who is adamant about not supporting
Pranab, is not even prepared to meet you. That’s the extent of the problem that
she won’t even meet you.
Sangma: How do you know that?
Thapar: It’s all over the front page of The Hindustan
Times.
Sangma: Hindustan
Times, they didn’t say
they have talked to Mamata Banerjee. It is just a guess, just a speculation. I
have requested for time and I am waiting for a reply.
Thapar: But you still haven’t got the time.
Sangma: I will, you can’t say now. There is still
time. The last date for filing the nomination is 30th and the voting is on the
19th of the next month, so it is almost one month away.
Thapar: Her party is making it perfectly clear that they
will prefer to abstain but they won’t vote for you.
Sangma: Things will change everyday, you just
watch…Day before yesterday, all the news channels were showing that PA Sangma
has only six per cent votes, right? But day before yesterday when the BJP
started announcing their backing and some of their allies started talking about
it, suddenly from six per cent it has gone up to 28-30 per cent.
Thapar: Mr Sangma let me put it to you, people are fond of
you, they indulge you, but they are laughing at the fact that you believe that
you can win. Nobody believes it, but you.
Sangma: Yes, many people laugh at my height also.
I don’t mind, if people laugh at it.
Thapar: Are you a little worried that by standing in the
face of such odds and they are incredible odds, you might make yourself a
laughing stock?
Sangma: Not at all, not at all. Mr Thapar you will
just see how things move, politics move very fast. What happened day before
yesterday, a designated Prime Minister of Pakistan had to suddenly drop and
some unexpected man took over. You know this is politics and in politics
anything can happen.
Thapar: Mr Sangma, miracles and the unprecedented don’t
happen everyday. You are really depending on a miracle, that’s the truth. Isn’t
it?
Sangma: Yes. Miracles do happen in this world. It
happens, I believe in miracles. You are very right. I don’t know how you read
me so correctly.
Thapar: All right, let’s then leave that to god, it’s not
long before we’ll see whether miracles happen or not. Let’s now look at the
contradictions in your position.
Sangma: Somebody came day before yesterday and
they told me, sir be careful the corporate body in this country is with Mr
Pranab Mukherjee…So, I told him all right. You know the corporate sector may be
with somebody but can you tell whose side god is. He became nervous. That is
what matters most.
Thapar: You’re saying god is with Purno Sangma?
PA Sangma: Yes… I
am standing for principles, I am standing for democracy, I am standing for the
welfare of poor people. I am very clear in my conscience.
Thapar: You are being big hearted. So let me come to a
third problem. How confident are you that your sponsors aren’t using you. To
begin with, Naveen Patnaik who does not need PA Sangma, but who needs his
support to reach out to the 25 per cent of Odisha which is tribal and whose
support he badly needs. You are a tool for his strategy.
Sangma: Not at all. The fact that he is giving
importance to the tribals.. we are grateful to him.
Thapar: He
is using you.
Sangma: Not at all.
Thapar: He
is exploiting you.
Sangma: Not at all. Nobody can exploit me. I have
stood for principle everywhere. Even if you look at my past, I don’t go for
posts, I don’t go for chairs.
Thapar:
Mr Sangma, even if you look at the BJP,
who you said a moment ago had increased their support for you to 26-28 per
cent, are using you… as a stepping stone over the bridge to Jayalalithaa and
Naveen Patnaik. Mr Sangma you are a tool. You are a part of a strategy that
supports their convenience. That’s why they are supporting you, not because
they believe in you.
Sangma: You think we are ignorant of which media
is whose tool? Mr Karan, you think we are ignorant of which media is whose
tool. Mr Karan don’t talk about tools.
Thapar:
Are you suggesting that my questioning
is motivated?
Sangma: Yes, yes, you are also a tool. We are all
tools. Don’t bring these kind of questions. We are all tools. These are small,
petty things.
Thapar: So, you say that you want to become a president to
advance the tribal cause. How is the tribal cause advanced when you are willing
to make yourself a pawn in the hands of Jayalalithaa?
Sangma: Till 1995, the tribals of this country had
no representation in Indian politics. In 1995, I was the first tribal to become
a Cabinet minister in this country.
Thapar: Yes, but that was a Congress government, not the
BJD or the AIADMK or the BJP.
Sangma: No, no! That’s not the point. How the
country forgot the tribal people, I am talking about that. The country did not
realise that we had a hundred million tribals in this country. And today, that
I am a candidate is a demonstration of the country’s recognition that yes,
there are tribals in India also.
Thapar: And you believe that the BJP, the BJD and the
AIADMK, by supporting PA Sangma, a man about whom two weeks ago, they had
nothing to say, now suddenly have become great champions of the tribals,
because they are supporting you. Do you really believe that?
Sangma: Yes, these are minor things that do not
come to mind that often. You see, the morning after I became a Cabinet
minister, Vajpayee ji entered my house and said, “Mr Sangma is it true that
India has never had a tribal minister?? I said, “Yes! It is true. I am the
first tribal to join the Cabinet.” And he said, “How could India make such a
huge mistake?”
Thapar: Let’s
come to the next question. You have been speaker of the Lok Sabha. You have
been Chief Minister of Meghalaya. You have been a very honourable Cabinet
minister. Why are you throwing all of that away behind a pipedream?
Sangma: I am not. I am just asserting my right as
a citizen of India, as a tribal, as a person coming from the North East.
Thapar: Is this determination to be the President of India
an obsession that you are fulfilling?
Sangma: Not at all. It is not an obsession. 1974,
when I met Indira Gandhi, she told me don’t run after posts. Do your work, the
posts will run after you.
