The IAF An-32 aircraft that went off the radar on Friday morning reportedly developed three snags during flight operations in July alone.

The plane went missing today while flying back from Chennai to Port Blair. The aircraft, carrying 23 personnel and six crew members, took off from Tambaram Air Base in Chennai at 8.30 am and went off the grid at 9.15 am. The An-32 aircraft was expected to arrive at 11.30 am in Port Blair, but was declared overdue. Five planes were scrambled and four warships pressed into search and rescue operations in Bay of Bengal.

Eastern Naval Command (ENC) has deployed two P8i Long Range Maritime Patrol Aircraft with advanced electro-optics and radars, two Dornier aircraft and twelve ships with integral helicopters to join the search operations initiated to locate the Indian Air Force AN-32 transport aircraft reported missing approx 300 km due East of Chennai on Friday morning.

“Very very unfortunate news is coming out that one of our aircraft which started from Chennai at 8:30 am, it was supposed to land at Port Blair at 11:30 and has not reached. An overdue procedure has been ensured. The Navy has launched a full scale SAR to look for our aircraft which we will be able to find out wherever it is. As of now, we will term it as overdue and I must inform you that three Dornier’s and four ships have been rushed and more assets are being made ready. We are going full force and we will get the result very soon,” Navy PRO DK Sharma said.

Meanwhile, Union Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar said that efforts are being made to trace the missing An- 32 transport plane of IAF and the service personnel onboard.

Defence Ministry sources said that the search and rescue operations will continue throughout the night.

RSS media coordinator for the state N Sadagoppan said the organisation found it easier to conduct marches and demonstrations since O Panneerselvam took over as CM.

“During Jayalalithaa’s rule, even if the courts gave permission to RSS to hold a march, the government would go and get a stay on it. But today, things are a bit different,” he said, adding, “We are happy with the OPS government.”

RSS breathes easier in Tamil Nadu under new CM Panneerselvam During Jayalalithaa’s rule, even if the courts gave permission to RSS to hold a march, the government would go and get a stay on it, the RSS media coordinator said.

An Arnab’s view Gandhi dosen’t have any moral to fight against British Government

Gandhi finished his schooling and college in India under the British India Education System.

Gandhi had a passport from British India, with that only he studied Barrister in London.

As per arnab’s view who ever uses the system dosn’t have rights to speak aganist the systems immoral activities. So Mr. Gandhi has studied under the british rule and he fought against it, so he is rutheless terrorist. This what he wanted communicate through his debate.

IIT Chennai Picketed by Periyar Students Forum
19/12/2015 - Chennai

Student activists of Periyar Students Forum (student wing of Thanthai Periyar Dravidar Kazhsgam) arrested in IIT Madras.

The students forum protested demanding removal of Brahmin professors and students in IIT who have breached their 'Agama Shastra' and Manusmriti by joining IIT instead of being priests at temples. The forum demanded those Brahmins to be appointed as priests at temples. And fill the vacancies by non bhramin students and professors.

on 16th December 2015, The Supreme court of India has given a judgement on “All Caste members can become priests in hindu temples” Act of Tamilnadu government 2006. In this judgement supreme court has told that “Agama Shasthra” has to be fallowed in Hindu Temples. As per the “Agama Sasthra” and Manusmirithi Bhramins has to serve in the temples only, but they are studying in IIT Madras, and Most of the Professors are Bhramins only.

IIT Madras has became bhraminical institute. So Student activists of Periyar student forum asked them to fallow Manusmirithi and agama sasthra and leave the IIT Madras Campus.

This pervert should be a friend of Devanathan who did S*x inside the holy sanctum!

How arrogant! And, there are stupids commenting on his posts accepting them as slaves of brahminism!

After the UP incident, A member of Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly announced in Facebook. That I am going to eat beef today, Kill me if you can. This is the way tamil Nadu will react against the Hindudhuva.

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court today reserved its verdict on constitutional issues arising out of Tamil Nadu government’s decision to set free the convicts in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, including the power of states to remit sentences.

A five-judge Constitution bench headed by Chief Justice H L Dattu would authoritatively deal with questions raised by the smaller bench while staying the state government’s decision to set free seven convicts in the sensational case.

The bench, also comprising justices F M I Kalifulla, Pinaki Chandra Ghosh, Abhay Manohar Sapre and U U Lalit, heard for eleven days the arguments advanced by Solicitor General Ranjit Kumar, who appeared for the Centre, and others including senior advocates Ram Jethmalani and Rakesh Dwivedi, representing V Sriharan alias Murugan, one of the seven convicts, and Tamil Nadu government respectively.

The court would be dealing with seven issues framed by the smaller bench on the scope of executives’ power of remission.

It would decide whether state governments also have power of remission in cases where central agencies like CBI are the prosecutor.

“The issue of such a nature has been raised for the first time in this court, which has wide ramification in determining the scope of application of power of remission by the executives, both the Centre and the State.

“Accordingly, we refer this matter to the Constitution Bench to decide the issue pertaining to whether once power of remission under Article 72(by the President) or 161 (by Governor)or by this Court exercising Constitutional power under Article 32 is exercised, is there any scope for further consideration for remission by the executive,” the apex court had said while referring the matter to the Constitution bench.

It had said the Constitution bench would decide whether the sentence of a prisoner, whose death penalty has been commuted to life, can be remitted by the government.

The bench would also decide whether life imprisonment meant jail term for rest of the life or a convict has a right to claim remission, it had said.

Another issue for the constitution bench to decide is whether a special category of sentence could be provided for cases where death penalty might be substituted by imprisonment for life or imprisonment for a term in excess of 14 years and to put that category beyond application of remission.

The bench will also decide whether the Union or the State has primacy over the subject matter enlisted in concurrent list of 7th Schedule of the Constitution for exercise of power of remission.

During the hearing, Centre said that repeated mercy pleas before the President and the Governor by convicts seeking remission or commutation of their sentences violate the principle of finality.

It had also asserted that the killers of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi did nor deserve any mercy as the assassination was the result of a conspiracy involving foreign nationals.

Tamil Nadu government, on other had, asserted the states have power to grant remission under the law and trashed accusations that its decision to release seven convicts in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case was “political and arbitrary”.

The state government had wanted to know as to why Congress governments at the centre delayed the decision on their mercy pleas that led to commutation of their death sentence in the first place.

Jethmalani, appearing for one of the convicts, had sought dismissal of Centre’s plea, contending that the citizens could file writ petitions for enforcement of their fundamental rights and “Union of India is not a citizen but State under Article 12; it has no such rights vested in it”.

“The present petition is not maintainable for additional reason that it seeks to challenge the correctness of a final judgement of this court through a writ petition under Article 32″, he had said.

The apex court had on February 20 last year stayed the state government’s decision to release three convicts – Murugan, Santhan and Arivu, whose death sentence had been commuted to life term by it two days before.

It had later also stayed the release of four other convicts — Nalini, Robert Pious, Jayakumar and Ravichandran, saying there were procedural lapses on part of the state government.

Santhan, Murugan and Arivu are currently lodged in the Central Prison, Vellore. The other four are also undergoing life sentence for their role in Gandhi’s assassination on May 21, 1991 in Sriperumbudur, Tamil Nadu.

Recently, the apex court has dismissed the curative petition of the Centre filed against the commutation of death penalty into life imprisonment of three convicts in the case, granting a fresh lease of life to them.

The review pleas, challenging the commutation of death penalty to life term of Santhan, Murugan and Perarivalan, had been dismissed by the court in February last year on the ground of 11-year delay in deciding their mercy petitions.

Indonesian government has planned executing the death sentence of Mr. Chan and Mr. Mayuran. This is an utter nonsense activity, they want to stop the drugs smuggling. Because of that they want to execute the death sentence.

Whether Indonesian government will guarantee, if they execute these two will solve the problem. Can the Indonesian government will assure nobody will do the drug smuggling anymore. If someone does this crime again what the Indonesian government will do???

Sri Lankan Minister Douglas Devananda’s reported threat to cross into Indian territorial waters with 5000 Sri Lankan fishermen to protest against alleged poaching by Indian fishermen in Sri Lankan waters has once again raked up the demand for arrest of the minister in Tamil Nadu, where he is wanted in connection with a 1986 murder case.

Advocate P Pugazhendi, who had recently filed a petition in the Madras High Court seeking direction to the State Home Secretary and the Director General of Police to take steps for issuing a Red Corner Notice by the Interpol against the minister, said the Tamil Nadu police should make efforts to secure him when he attempts to enter Indian waters illegally.

“When he is leading an agitation of this nature, he does not enjoy the diplomatic immunity that he enjoys as a minister. It is an opportunity for the Tamil Nadu police to arrest him and make him face trial in the 1986 shootout and murder case,” he said.

Pugazhendi also added that since Devananda is a proclaimed offender, any Indian citizen could apprehend him and hand him over to the police.

Devananda, leader of Eelam People’s Democratic Party and an ally of Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa, was involved in a neighbourhood brawl in Chennai and opened fire at a crowd on November 1, 1986.

One person was killed and four others were injured in the shootout. A case was registered against him. He was arrested and later released on bail in January 1987.

In 1988 another case was registered against him on charges of kidnapping a ten-year-old boy and demanding a ransom of Rs.7 lakh. He was subsequently detained under the National Security Act.

Pugazhendi had filed a petition seeking the court's directions to arrest Devananda, when he visited India in June 2010.

However, the external affairs ministry had told the Madras High Court that the minister cannot be arrested as he enjoyed diplomatic immunity.

The ministry also submitted that if Devananda was arrested while on a state visit, it would affect relations between the two countries.

It also told the court that India does not have any extradition treaty with Sri Lanka. – with inputs from IANS

The daughter of a Tamil disappearances activist, Balendran Jeyakumari, who was detained by Sri Lankan security forces ahead of the UN Human Rights Council resolution on Sri Lanka in March 2014, appealed to the new president, Maithripala Sirisena this week to release her mother.

"Dear President Maithripala Sirisena, please think of me as your child and release my innocent, very innocent mother. She has not committed any crime. I also humbly request that you release my 3rd brother as well," 14 year old Vipoosika, who is currently housed in a children's home in the North, wrote to the president in a letter dated February 16.

"I cannot live without my mother, if I don’t see her I will drink poison and kill myself. I beseech you to please release my mother before that."

"Please, Maithripala Sirisena Sir, please tell them to release my mother. I will wait eagerly for the news in the newspapers of your ordering her release. I finish my sad letter to you on this note," she continued.

Full letter reproduced below.

On March 13 2014, anti-terror police detained Vipoosika and Ms Jeyakumari under Sri Lanka's draconian Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA). Vipoosika was later released, however, her mother was transferred to Boosa prison, notorious for its endemic use of torture and sexual violence against Tamil detainees.

The Woman's Action Network (WAN) said at the time of their arrest:
"Both the mother and daughter have been in the frontline of many protested organized by Mannar citizens committee and families that are looking for missing and disappeared members. She and her daughter have been featured in many video documentaries on disappeared including the Channel 4 that was released in Nov. 2013. Beside Jayakumari has been the leader of mobilizing the families in Killinochchi for various hearings, public protests and meetings. She has met many visiting diplomats and media persons. Jayakumari’s one son was killing in Trincomalee, the second one died of a shell attack in Mullivaikal. She handed over her third son (Balendran Mahinthan) to SL army in May 2009 and at that time he was 15 years old."
In a chilling interview with Channel 4 before her arrest, Ms Jeyakumari described being unknown people following her home and threatening her.


"Unknown faces follow me and track me whenever I go home after protests. [To me, in my mind, this frightens me]," Ms Jeyakumari told Channel 4 in the video.

“This is a serious threat. We are terrified to live here."

“I gladly give this interview to Channel 4 to publicise my plight.”

Commenting on her video, the director of the acclaimed documentary “No Fire Zone: Sri Lanka’s Killing Fields”, Callum Macrae, said last year:

“They (Sri Lanka) are under enormous scrutiny… and yet they still seem to think that in the north where the Tamils live, they can act with impunity, that they can simply arrest prominent human rights defenders and get away with it.”

(A children’s Home in the North)
16.02.2015

I wish to bring to the attention of Honorable President Maithripala Sirisena that:

Last year on 13.03.2014 when my mother went to close our door after giving food, an unknown stranger entered into the house, We asked “Who are you?” to which he said “Don’t make a noise, if you do I will strangle your necks and kill you.” My mother held me, opened the door and ran out of the house. At that time, armed soldiers and police came and took hold of our hands. Then one of them went into the house. We heard two gunshots. Then he came out shouting. After that they interrogated us. They told us we were connected to the person shot at. I promise on my mother that we do not know him at all.

Then the police and military took us away. They interrogated my mother and me separately. Before my very eyes they hit my mother and pulled her by the hair. They fastened electric shock handcuffs to her hands and said “Tell us the truth or we will switch on the current.” After I felt sleepy I just slept there. They kept on hitting my mother, I was told, trampling on her and held her by the hair and threatened her by saying “Tell us the truth or we will kill you and your child.” It was just a few days earlier that I had attained puberty but they hit me too. They brought two women we did not know and wanted to separate my mother and me. I said I would not leave my mother. When I said that they hit my mother. They said “Tell her to go.” After that around 7.30 pm they took us to the court.

A lawyer named Vijayarani came there. Child Probation Officer Miss Viji also came. Then we all went to the Judge’s house and related everything that happened. He handed me over to the custody of the Child Probation Officer Miss. Viji. I adamantly cried saying I did not want to go. My mother said, “You go and study, let me tell the Hon. Judge what happened”. I have no one, only my mother. My mother only has me. I had three brothers. My eldest brother was killed by unidentified persons. My second brother died during the war. My third brother is on the list of the disappeared. My father died on 19.04.2012 due to cancer. We were living alone with assistance from no-one. My mother made food parcels from home and it is from that income that she was managing the expenditure for my studies.

Afterwards Miss. Viji took me to the hospital. The next day was a Monday (17.03.2014) they took me to court. There were many people waiting to take me with them. They took me away to # # # (a children’s Home in the North). Since separated from my mother I was in deep contemplation. I was feeling utterly depressed. I heard that my mother was taken to the Boosa Detention Centre. Afterwards I told court that I wanted to see my mother. They allowed it. I went to see her to Boosa. I was very sad to see her. I thought to myself, “Why is God giving us so much trouble?”

My mother and I had lost my brothers. Only my mother and I are left now. We too thought of going to where my brothers were. But the thought that my third brother is alive made me worry less. Prior to her arrest, my mother went to Kilinochchi, where a meeting was being held. There she bought a book from one of the girls there. In that book (Guidebook on the LLRC), on the 41st page she saw my 3rd brother’s photo. Therefore she was in high hopes that my brother was still alive. Thereafter, we continuously protested with other families of the disappeared, I too pleaded, “please give me back my brother.”

Dear President Maithripala Sirisena, please think of me as your child and release my innocent, very innocent mother. She has not committed any crime. I also humbly request that you release my 3rd brother as well. I would like to meet you honorable Sir, but as I cannot meet you I write this letter. Sir, I cannot live without my mother, if I don’t see her I will drink poison and kill myself. I beseech you to please release my mother before that. Please, Maithripala Sirisena Sir, please tell them to release my mother. I will wait eagerly for the news in the newspapers of your ordering her release. I finish my sad letter to you on this note.

Thank you.
Yours,
B. Vibooshika

In a key development, the Chief Minister of Northern Provincial Council (NPC), Justice CV Wigneswaran, on Tuesday called for real international investigations on genocide against Tamils committed by the successive governments since Ceylon's independence from the British in 1948. Passing a resolution in the council that demanded international investigations on genocide, the Chief Minister has called for criminal prosecutions at the International Criminal Court (ICC) and urged the on-going OHCHR Investigation on Sri Lanka (OISL) to investigate the claim of genocide and recommend appropriate investigations and prosecutions by the ICC. “This Council urgently calls upon the international community to create conditions suitable and sustainable to protect the Tamils of the NorthEast Provinces in Sri Lanka from genocide,” the resolution said.

The case of genocide in Sri Lanka is unique among genocides in history because it occurred over several decades and under different governments before intensifying into a no-holds-barred war for nearly three decades and culminating in the mass atrocities of 2009, the resolution further said.

Despite India's strong reservations about a Chinese nuclear submarine at the Colombo port in September, the government has learned that Sri Lanka has permitted another Chinese attack submarine to dock at a Lankan port.

According to the information received, the second docking is likely to take place very soon.

The presence of Chinese submarines across Palk Straits has deeply disturbed the government which is making another call to Lankan authorities, this time to convey strong displeasure. The news of a second Chinese submarine docking in Sri Lanka comes days after the visit of Vietnam PM Nguyen Tan Dung to India and in complete disregard of India's message to Lankan defence secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa earlier this month.

The Chinese fleet of submarines, both diesel and nuclear-powered (of which three can fire ballistic missiles), represent some of Beijing's most offensive military capabilities and have been the focus of international media when one of them propelled through Indian Ocean waters for the first time earlier this year, making its way to the Persian Gulf.

In a recent report, Wall Street Journal described the Chinese submarine fleet as Beijing's most significant military challenge in the region. And for them to surface at Lankan ports brings alive some of New Delhi's worst fears of China's expanding presence in India's neighbourhood.

Sri Lanka's assurance — even from the highest level — that China has no military presence in the island nation does not inspire confidence. Consider the following:

* Coinciding with the election of Mahinda Rajapaksa as president in 2005, assistance from China has grown manifold and in infrastructure.

* Of the totals assistance of $5.056 billion extended to Lanka by China from 1971 to 2012, around 94% or $4.761 billion came between 2005 and 2012. In the past two years (2012-2014), China has committed another $2.18 billion, mostly as loans with a high rate of interest.

* With its "no strings" overseas-aid policy, China has replaced Japan as the No. 1 donor to Sri Lanka.

* India believes that the Chinese have been favoured despite the commercial and economic viability of their projects being suspect. Traffic generated at Hambantota port and Matara international airport, both built by China, are said to be far below expectations.

* The Rajapaksa regime has not been deterred by the poor ex*****on of projects by Chinese companies. One glaring example is the $1.35 billion Norochcholai coal power project which Sri Lankan authorities failed to rectify and have now asked the Chinese to operate it. Poor quality of equipment was said to be one of the reasons for the breakdown.

What seems to have angered New Delhi is that the permission for docking another nuclear sub comes even after India conveyed to defence secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa, who is also brother of the president, that it had serious reservations about the Colombo docking on September 15.

This Colombo stop for the sub in September came while President Pranab Mukherjee was touring Vietnam and when Indian and Chinese troops were locked in a face-off at Chumar in southeastern Ladakh. China later said the sub had docked in Colombo on its way to the Gulf of Aden.

Lower-house clears Manual Scavenging Bill
07th September 2013

The Prohibition of Employment as Manual Scavengers and their Rehabilitation Bill, 2012 passed in Lok Sabha to prohibit employment of individuals as the manual scavengers. The new law proposed in the failure of existing laws to prevent manual scavenging and insanitary latrine as an employment.

The aimed law widened with definition which includes the provision for the rehabilitation of person employed in for manual cleaning of human excreta in an insanitary latrine or in an open drain or pit, railway tracks etc.

There are about 340,000 people who employed as manual scavengers in India. The person, who engaged in manual scavenging, faces a lot of health problems due to the unhygienic nature of the job.

India, in 1993 passed the legislation banning manual scavenging but it failed to implement widely in an effect. The new Bill moved by Kumari Selja, the Minister for Social Justice and Empowerment to abolish the evils of manual scavenging completely.
