Cameron meets Tamil leaders in Lanka’s northern province

15112013

 

 

Against the backdrop of alleged rights violations in the war against the LTTE, British Prime Minister David Cameron on Friday made a historic visit to Sri Lanka’s Northern Province and met Tamil leaders, including the newly-elected Chief Minister C V Wigneswaran.

Hours after the CHOGM summit opened in Colombo, Cameron flew to northern Sri Lanka becoming the first foreign leader since 1948 to do so.

The Tamils’ treatment at the end of the country’s civil war dominated the run-up to the Commonwealth summit with the British Prime Minister defying calls for him to boycott the event in protest against alleged human rights abuses.

Cameron has insisted there should be a proper investigation into alleged Sri Lankan war crimes in the final months of the conflict which ended in 2009.

In a highly symbolic move, Cameron travelled to the Tamil-dominated north of the country and toured a library in Jaffna, which was repeatedly attacked and rebuilt during the conflict and met chief minister C V Wigneswaran, of the Tamil National Alliance.

Cameron was greeted by a group, mainly women, who claim their relatives disappeared during the conflict and who were “absolutely desperate” to press pictures of their loved ones and petitions into the hands of British officials, a news agency reported.

There was also a rival demonstration by pro-government supporters calling for an investigation into alleged abuses during the period of British rule prior to 1948.

Before returning to Colombo, Cameron also visited the offices of the Uthayan newspaper, whose presses were burned down earlier this year and whose journalists have been routinely attacked.

“This is going to make a very lasting impression on me. That is something you don’t forget,” Cameron told journalists at the Uthayan (“The Sun”) daily.

“But it’s only when you see it with your own eyes, it really brings home just how much you’re suffering,” Cameron said.

The Sri Lankan government has reacted angrily to suggestions that Cameron will press President Mahinda Rajapaksa over human rights during the three-day Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM).

Antony in Russia for Vikramaditya handover

15112013

 

 

Updated on :&nbsp15-11-2013 12:27 PM

Defence Minister A K Antony will be arriving in Severodvinsk on Friday night for the commissioning of aircraft carrier INS Vikramaditya on Saturday at Sevmash Shipyard, Russia’s nuclear submarine building centre.

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin and senior government and naval officials of the two countries are also scheduled to attend the ceremony for handing over the Kiev class carrier (formerly called Admiral Gorshkov) retrofitted and upgraded under Project 114430 at the cost of USD 2.3 billion.

After almost nine years of negotiations the initial USD 1.5 billion contract for retrofitting the aircraft carrier and buying 16 MiG-29K, K/UB deck-based fighters was signed in 2004.

In 1998, to break the deadlock, the government of then Prime Minister Yevgeny Primakov had offered the aircraft carrier, currently moored in a White Sea naval base in northern Russia for free to India, provided New Delhi paid for its repairs and modernisation.

However, lack of due diligence at the time of initial assessment of work led to whopping cost escalation that stalled its repairs and modernisation.

The aircraft carrier deal had become a major irritant in bilateral relations. By the end of 2007, when it became clear that Russia will not deliver the radically redesigned vessel by 2008 deadline, the relations dipped to an all-time low.

However, the two countries inked an additional agreement under which India agreed to pay a higher price for its refit.

In their private discussions Indian officials conceded that even with the cost escalation, it was a good deal, since a similar vessel would cost not less than double the price in the international market, but nobody makes aircraft carriers for export.

“Almost everything on the Vikramaditya is new,” Chief Delivery Commissioner of Sevmash shipyard, Igor Leonov said.

Leonov said only 40 per cent hull of the vessel was original while rest was absolutely new.

“The Indian Navy, which always maintained its engineers and technicians on the vessel throughout the refit and modernisation process took the right decision to change many aggregates, components and entire cabling, instead of their repairs,” Leonov, who will lead the onboard Russian guaranty team during the Vikramaditya’s almost two-month voyage to its home base on the Western coast of India in Karwar.

‘Revenue Sharing Arrangements for Calling Card Services’

15112013

TRAI Releases Consultation Paper on ‘Revenue Sharing Arrangements for Calling Card Services’

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) here today released a Consultation Paper on ‘Revenue Sharing Arrangements for Calling Card Services’. The objective of this paper is to discuss the various issues related to revenue sharing arrangements for Intelligent Network Based Calling Card Services. This Consultation Paper (CP) provides the relevant background information and discusses the need and methodology to determine the charges to be paid by the National Long Distance Operator (NLDO)/ International Long Distance Operator (ILDO) to the Access Providers for Calling Card Services.

In the currently prevailing regime, a customer does not have the option to choose its long distance carrier. The customer depends on its Access Provider for NLD/ILD calls. And, it is the Access Provider which chooses the NLDO/ILDO to whom the call is handed over for further carriage based on mutual commercial agreements between them. Though customer can choose its access provider but choice of NLDO/ILDO is not available to it. Calling cards will provide a real choice to the consumer for picking an NLDO/ILDO which offers the most competitive tariff for NLD/ILD calls viz. irrespective of the customer’s access provider.

Written comments on the issues raised in the consultation paper are invited from the stakeholders by 28th November 2013 and counter-comments by 6th December 2013.

The comments and counter-comments may be sent, preferably in electronic form at fn@trai.gov.in or rkgtrai@gmail.com.

ADR and Facebook join hands

15112013

 

Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) and Facebook join hands to provide information on ‘Know Your Neta’ on mobiles for free (Dial *325*35#)

 

New Delhi, November 15, 2013: Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) and Facebook have joined hands to provide citizens the up-to-date candidates’ information for the upcoming State Assembly Elections and Lok Sabha Elections to help them make an informed choice. Voters will now be able to access election candidates’ criminal, financial, educational, professional etc. information directly on their mobile via Facebook using USSD technology[1].

 

How to access the information on election candidates for free-

Access to information has never been simpler, faster and cheaper — all users have to do is dial *325# from their mobile to access Facebook and select the election menu (option 6) or directly dial *325*35# to access the election menu for no charge.

 

Prof. Trilochan Sastry, Founder and Trustee, Association for Democratic Reforms, said, “At ADR, we are committed to strengthening democracy by continuously empowering the electorate through greater dissemination of information relating to the candidates and the parties, for a better and informed choice. This initiative with Facebook will allow us to expand our reach. Voters will be able to know the poll worthiness of candidates — their educational, criminal and financial information — at their fingertips and choose wisely. Simply voting in an uninformed manner is not enough, citizens need to make an informed choice.”

 

Ankhi Das, Director of Public Policy, Facebook India, said, “Over 82 million Indian citizens access Facebook regularly, and an increasing number of users access the platform on mobile. Together with ADR, an organization that has built its reputation by empowering citizens with informed updates and analysis, we hope to make information more readily available to users about the antecedents and performance of political candidates. Our goal is to enable citizens to get involved in issues of governance. We are delighted to collaborate with ADR on this important initiative.”

 

This initiative combines ADR’s strong experience in electoral research to millions of Facebook users in India. The USSD election feature will allow citizens to access information more easily and will enable them to make an informed choice. 

---

[1] Facebook for USSD is a technology that helps people access facebook on phones without Internet. USSD is a technology that all GSM phones (over 90% of all phones today) across prices and complexity are equipped with. USSD allows text experiences on phones that are richer than SMS and cheaper for the user than mobile Internet.

फिल्म रामलीला का विरोध कर रहे राष्ट्रवादी शिवसेना प्रमुख सहित तमाम कार्यकर्ता गिरफ्तार।

 

नई दिल्ली, 15 नवम्बर। न्यायालय द्वारा रामलीला फिल्म में से रामलीला शब्द को हटाने के आदेश के बाद भी आज सिनेमाघरों में चलाई गई फिल्म रामलीला पर तत्काल रोक लगाने और सिनेमाघरों से उतारे जाने की मांग को लेकर राष्ट्रवादी शिवसेना द्वारा नई दिल्ली स्थित रीगल सिनेमा पर आयोजित विरोध प्रदर्शन कर रहे पार्टी प्रमुख श्री जयभगवान गोयल सहित तमाम पार्टी कार्यकर्ताओं को पुलिस गिरफ्तार करके थाना क्नाट प्लेस ले गई। श्री गोयल के साथ गिरफ्तार होने वालो में पार्टी प्रदेश अध्यक्ष चै. ईश्वर पाल सिंह तेवतिया सहित मदन लाल माहौर, स्वामी ओम जी, जितेन्द्र यादव, श्रीमति सुमन आदि प्रमुख नेता थे।

इस मौके पर पार्टी कार्यकर्ताओं ने केन्द्रीय कानून मंत्री कपिल सिब्बल का पुतला भी फूंका। कार्यकर्ताओं का नेतृत्व पार्टी प्रमुख श्री जयभगवान गोयल कर रहे थे। कार्यक्रम का आयोजन पार्टी की दिल्ली ईकाई द्वारा किया गया।

प्रदर्शन के दौरान उपस्थित पार्टी कार्यकर्ताओं को संबोधित करते हुए श्री गोयल ने कहा कि संजय लीला भंसाली की यह फिल्म देश व दुनिया में हिन्दू समाज की धार्मिक भावनाओं पर आघात तो कर ही रही है, न्यायालय के आदेशों की भी धज्जियां उड़ा रही है जिसे केन्द्रीय कानून मंत्री व कांग्रेस के नेता समर्थन दे रहे हैं। उन्होंने कहा कि कल मध्य प्रदेश उच्च न्यायालय जबलपुर के कार्यवाहक मुख्य न्यायाधीश के.के. लाहौटी एवं न्यायाधीश सुभाष काकड़े की युगल पीठ ने अपने आदेश में संजय लीला भंसाली की इस नई फिल्म में से रामलीला शब्द को हटाने का आदेश दिया है परंतु न्यायालय के आदेशों के बाद भी आज निर्देशक द्वारा इस फिल्म का नाम न बदलकर रामलीला के नाम से ही प्रदर्शित की गई है और राजधानी दिल्ली सहित देश के तमाम हिस्सो के सिनेमाघरों में दिखाई जा रही है जो न्यायालय की अवमानना के साथ-साथ  हिन्दू समाज की धार्मिक भावनाओं का भी निरादर है। उन्होंने कहा कि इससे पूर्व भी राजनैतिक दवाब के कारण ही दिल्ली की कड़कड़डूमा जिला अदालत द्वारा एक ही रात में अपने फैसले को बदला गया था। 

श्री गोयल ने प्रशासन से मांग करते हुए कहा कि फिल्म को सिनेमाघरों में चलने से रोका जाएं और अदालत की अवमानना करने वाले सिनेमाघर मालिकों व फिल्म के निर्माता निर्देशक पर कड़ी कानूनी कार्यवाही की जाए साथ ही हिन्दू विरोधी कांग्रेस सरकार व फिल्म के निर्माता को चेतावनी देते हुए कहा कि जब तक इस फिल्म पर रोक नहीं लगती उनका यह आंदोलन जारी रहेगा।
