noreply@blogger.com (ankit pal) — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 11:52:00 +0000

"Two members of the Planning Commission Abhijit Sen and Mihir Shah, the government has begun to turn against the definition of which Rs 13 a time to spend on food is one of those above the poverty line ...."

: The government definition of poverty, according to him 26 rupees a day on food, so the time spent on food to 13 people who are not poor. Planning Commission means the nation's highest court has filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court. The affidavit stated that the Commission on food in cities and villages in 965 781 per month cost per month is the man who can not be considered poor.

Planning Commission in the city every day to spend Rs 32 crore and 26 in the village, the man who is not entitled to get back to BPL families. This new definition of poverty based on Tendulkar Committee report has been prepared.

5.5 Planning Commission believes that every day worth of grain, pulses of Rs 1.02, Rs 2.33 to Rs 1.55's milk and edible oil is enough to keep a person healthy. The report also says that Rs 1.95 every day on vegetables, fruit on the 44 money-70 money on sugar and salt - spices on the 78 would be appropriate to spend money, while another 1.51 crore would be spent on food. In the kitchen, gas or other fuel costs on the day 3 rupees 75 paise is proposed.

Meanwhile, two members of the Commission, Abhijit Sen and Mihir Shah have come out openly in opposition to the affidavit. It has also exposed the Planning Commission agreed with these figures was the Prime Minister's Office. However, to improve statistics is to be said.

Sen and Shah informed the media that the Planning Commission of the Supreme Court did not answer crucial questions. The Supreme Court had asked the people living below the poverty line limit the number of beneficiaries included in the list why? Planning Commission of the Supreme Court has not answered this question a neat and tidy people in the BPL list, take advantage of government schemes and subsidies there a limit has been set. Abhijit Sen, the Commission has not responded to this question. The Shah also objected to that limit beneficiaries. BPL beneficiaries Court by the Central Government had asked for the cut-off due to imposition. BPL cards to the beneficiaries on the basis of population gives state governments. Of social welfare schemes for the class center is providing the funding. But it decided by the Planning Commission on the basis of cut-off line is profit to BPL card holders.

The BPL list prepared on the basis of population in the state government to give the benefit of all those who plan to go to have to carry the burden of subsidy. Planning Commission Tendulkar in his affidavit to the commission only has double figures. Supreme Court Chief Advisor of the Food Commissioner biraj Patnaik says the Supreme Court of giving concrete answers to questions asked by the Planning Commission has tried to mislead the court. According to Patnaik, the Planning Commission has not responded to two key points. The first point, the poverty line based on the modification and inflation in determining the poverty line do not use caps.

Abhijit Sen says, "This is a very important question. Planning Commission to set a limit on BPL list has not come out openly. Sooner or later he will give us answers to these questions. Sadly, that time could not decide on these issues can be reported to the court. "Patnaik said the Prime Minister's Office is also responsible for this lapse because the affidavit was investigated. According to sources, Planning Commission members were serious differences over the affidavit. According to sources, the Congress party's lawyers had asked the commission to Adne. The PMO's insistence on this stance.

The “Quartet” of Middle East mediators has called on Israel and the Palestinians to meet within a month to agree an agenda for new peace talks.

A proposal from the United Nations, the EU, the US and Russia suggests that the two parties should aim to reach a deal by the end of 2012.

The statement comes following Friday’s formal application for United Nations recognition of a Palestinian state by President Mahmoud Abbas.

“Within three months we would want to see significant progress on borders and security,” said EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton.

“Anyone listening to the speeches made today and indeed the comments made many times by President Abbas and Prime Minister Netanyahu will be fully aware of the significance of these two issues,” she added, referring to Abbas’ speech to the UN in New York.

Passing the American Jobs Act

noreply@blogger.com (ankit pal) — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 06:01:00 +0000

President Obama discusses the need for Congress to pass the American Jobs Act to put more people back to work, and more money back in the pockets of people who are working. Read the jobs bill.

Passing the American Jobs Act

WASHINGTON—In this week’s address, President Obama urged Congress to pass the American Jobs Act without delay so that businesses will be able to hire more workers and every American who wants a job will be able to find one. The President’s jobs bill keeps cops on the streets and teachers in the classrooms, cuts taxes for small businesses, and puts construction workers back to work without adding to the deficit. All Americans who agree with the President’s plan should call their elected officials and tell them that it’s time to pass the jobs bill, which will ensure that everyone pays their fair share and that we live within our means as we help the economy continue to grow.

Remarks of President Barack Obama
Weekly Address
The White House
September 17, 2011

I’ve spent some time lately traveling the country and talking with folks outside of Washington. And the number one issue for the people I meet is how we can get back to a place where we’re creating good, middle-class jobs that pay well and offer some security.

That’s the idea behind the American Jobs Act. It’s a jobs bill that does two simple things: put more people back to work, and more money back in the pockets of people who are working.

This jobs bill puts construction workers back to work rebuilding our roads and bridges and modernizing our schools.

This jobs bill puts teachers back in the classroom, and keeps cops and firefighters on our streets.

This jobs bill gives tax credits to companies that hire our veterans, because if you sign up to fight for our country, the last thing you should have to do is fight for a job when you come home.

This jobs bill connects the long-term unemployed to temporary work to keep their skills sharp while they look for a job, and it gives hundreds of thousands of young people the hope of a job next summer.

This jobs bill cuts taxes for every small business owner in America. It cuts them even more for small business owners that hire new workers and raise workers’ salaries. And it cuts taxes for every working family in America so that you’ll have more money in your pockets, and businesses know they’ll have customers to buy what they sell.

That’s the American Jobs Act, and you can check it out for yourself on WhiteHouse.gov.

It will create new jobs. It will cut taxes for every worker and small business in the country. And it will not add to the deficit. It will be paid for.

On Monday, I’ll lay out my plan for how we’ll do that – how we’ll pay for this plan and pay down our debt by following some basic principles: making sure we live within our means and asking everyone to pay their fair share.

But right now, we’ve got to get Congress to pass this jobs bill. Everything in the American Jobs Act is the kind of idea that’s been supported by Democrats and Republicans before. And if they’re ideas you agree with, too, every one of you can help make it happen by telling your congressperson to pass this jobs bill right away.

I know some of them would rather wait another year to wage another election than work together right now. But most Americans don’t have the luxury of waiting. It was three years ago this week that a financial crisis on Wall Street made things much more difficult for working folks on Main Street. And too many are still hurting as a result.

So the time for action is now. No more games or gridlock. No more division or delay. It’s time for the people you sent to Washington to put country before party – to stop worrying so much about their jobs and start worrying more about yours.

It’s time to get to work and show the world once again why the United States of America remains the greatest nation on Earth.

Thank you.

US chooses Narendra Modi over Rahul Gandhi as next PM of INDIA

noreply@blogger.com (ankit pal) — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 11:57:00 +0000

Washington, Sept 14: Gujarat Chief Minister, Narendra Modi seems to have impressed US with his developmental and progressive works in the state. A latest report by US' Congressional Research Service (CRS) on India claimed that Modi has much more potentiality than Congress' Rahul Gandhi to become the next Prime Minister of the country.

However, the report also claimed that Rahul also is a strong candidate for the post and the Congress is eyeing on a great prospect in the 2014 election. Yet the report did not mention whether 2014 election will be a Modi V/s Rahul affair.

"The 2009 polls may have represented a coming out party of sorts for the younger Gandhi, who many expect to be put forward as Congress' prime ministerial candidate in scheduled 2014 elections," says the report.

However, the report also praises Modi as claiming Modi as "India’s best example of effective governance and impressive development is found in Gujarat, where controversial Chief Minister Narendra Modi has streamlined economic processes, removing red tape and curtailing corruption in ways that have made the state a key driver of national economic growth".

Anna says he will back non-BJP, non-Cong front

noreply@blogger.com (ankit pal) — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 09:11:00 +0000

Anti-corruption activist Anna Hazare has said that he is willing to back and campaign for any political outfit that is corruption-free and belongs to the non-Congress and non-BJP front.

Talking to IBN18 Editor-in-Chief Rajdeep Sardesai, Anna said that he plans to restart his movement if Parliament's Standing Committee does not agree to his demands on the Jan Lokpal Bill.

Defending his campaign, Anna said that the movement is not anti-Parliament, but against those blocking the Bill.

Anna also praised former prime minister Indira Gandhi, saying the country needs leaders like her who can work for the poor.

Taking a dig at Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Anna said, "The Prime Minister lacks authority and nobody listens to him in his team."

Anna also made it clear that he will go from constituency to constituency asking people not to vote for the MPs who are against the Jan Lokpal Bill. "The MPs who are against it, we will sing bhajans outside their houses. I will go to their constituencies and tell people not to vote for them," Anna said.

Truth about Rahul Gandhi's (Raul Vinci) M.Phil Degree

noreply@blogger.com (Vijendra Kumar) — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 20:56:00 +0000

Dear Indians, My YUVA friends,sisters, are you going to elect candidates like Rahul Gandhi who file affidavit of Degree with wrong certificates? Indians, elect the devout & truthful candidate who will rule India ethically!
Chennai: Rahul Gandhi appears to have been economical with the truth on his affidavit while filing his election nomination papers in Amethi this weekend.
In the affidavit, he states that he obtained an MPhil from Trinity College of the University of Cambridge, UK, in 1995, in Developmental Economics. A certificate from the University shows that not only has he got dates wrong, he has even got the name of the course he took incorrect.
Worse, the man touted as a future prime minister failed one of his four papers.

Rahul got 58 per cent in “National Economic Planning and Policy” (according to the grading scale given in the certificate, 60 per cent is the minimum for a pass).
The certificate, shown alongside, was issued a year ago by Diana Kazemi, the secretary of the department of Development Studies (and not Developmental Economics) in which Rahul Gandhi studied.
He enrolled under the name ‘Raul Vinci’, a pseudonym given by the British authorities in a common practice as there are a good number of VVIP wards from around the world enrolled at British educational institutions. The pseudonym came to light during the 2004 elections in the Telegraph and the Hindu.
According to the University, Rahul read for the MPhil in 2004- 05, and not in 1994-95, as stated in his affidavit.

His affidavit’s other claim, to have obtained his Bachelors from Rollins College in Florida, USA, is true (and is a departure from earlier claims by ‘supporters’ that he graduated from Harvard). He also briefly attended St Stephen’s College in Delhi, gaining admission through the sports quota.
His mother (and Congress president) Sonia Gandhi was also in a minor controversy in 2004 over her educational qualifications.

Her nomination papers’ affidavit claimed she obtained a certificate in English from Lennox Cook School, University of Cambridge, in 1965. After it was revealed that the school had no affiliation to the University, Sonia claimed that the error on the affidavit was the result of a secretarial typing mistake.

So, think before to VOTE!!!

Small Businesses Creating Jobs is the Core of the American Jobs Act

noreply@blogger.com (ankit pal) — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 11:42:00 +0000

Karen Mills, SBA Administrator
Anyone who saw President Obama speak last night knows that helping small businesses create jobs is the core of the American Jobs Act. The President laid out powerful, bipartisan, specific, paid-for proposals that will help put America back to work now. This includes:
Cutting in half the payroll taxes for small businesses for the first $5 million in wages
Temporarily eliminating employer payroll taxes for small businesses that create jobs or give raises above the prior year
Extending an immediate 100% expensing write-off to encourage businesses to invest in more machinery and equipment
Large tax credits (up to $4,000) for businesses that hire unemployed workers, with bigger credits (up to $9,600) for hiring unemployed veterans and service-disabled veterans
Powerful investments in schools, roads, rail, and airports while helping small business contractors compete for infrastructure contracts
Making it easier for States to allow unemployed workers to create their own jobs by starting their own business
America’s small businesses – like DynaLabs that I’m visiting today in St. Louis – are counting on Congress to turn this plan into reality.
Founded in 2003, Dynalabs specializes in using cutting-edge technologies to provide quality-assurance services to large medical companies. They recently increased their staff by nearly 50%, and they will soon open a new facility to possibly add even more jobs to meet demand. We need to make sure they have every incentive to hire their next workers as quickly as possible.
As the President said, the Administration is moving forward with ideas that don’t need Congressional action, such as paying small businesses more quickly for federal contracts and cutting the red tape that prevents many fast-growing startups from get the capital they need through things like “crowdfunding.”
We need Congress to join us in putting small businesses first and getting the job done. If they do the right thing, the American Jobs Act will empower the world’s greatest entrepreneurs and small business owners to do what they do best: create good jobs, drive competitiveness and innovation, and strengthen economic security for the middle class.
The time to act is now.
Karen Mills is the Administrator of the Small Business Association

More Industry Leaders Commit to Double Engineering Internships in 2012

noreply@blogger.com (ankit pal) — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 10:03:00 +0000

On Wednesday August 31st, the President’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness announced fifty industry leaders that have committed to increasing the number of engineering internships available at their companies in 2012. These commitments announced on Wednesday will add approximately 6,300 additional opportunities for engineering students, and part of a greater Jobs Council effort to address America’s engineering shortage by graduating 10,000 more engineering students from U.S. colleges and universities each year.

U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu said these commitments are important for the country, “For America to stay competitive in the global market, we must train and retain the world’s best engineers.” Goodrich

Following the initial announcement, even more companies have pledged support. Just this week, Praxair Inc., Corporation, HCA Healthcare, The Kroger Co., CH2M Hill and Cognizant Technology Solutions, Inc. promised to double the number of internships they offer next year, while Corning Incorporated, Eastman Chemical Company and US Steel promised to increase the number of internships for 2012, boosting the total of new internship opportunities to over 6,800 and giving even more engineering students the opportunity and experience they need to stay competitive and create a lasting impact on our country.

Present Indian Government and its ruled system is totally a pain

noreply@blogger.com (Vijendra Kumar) — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 18:01:00 +0000

nothing more is disgraceful than the blasts outside the HIGH COURT Delhi on Wednesday, Sep 07,2011 and the Present Indian Government and its ruled system totally admitted failed.
in the blast 11 dead and 70 injured as RML hospital resource said.

so we simply can say that there is no responsibility, no accountability this present congress government is total shame and its a slap on democracy.

If it was Mumbai in July, it’s Delhi now. But our terrorists without a cause do not seem to learn that it cannot work. How dumb.

Remember Neeraj Pandey's film A Wednesday? It may have been more prophetic than the director realised. 26 November, 2010, 11 July 2011, and 7 September, 2011 all happen to fall on Wednesdays.

The entire top team of the government is now facing a credibility crisis at a time when the economy is going downhill and political challenges are mounting.

2008 remains one of the worst years for the India in terms of terrorism, for it saw nearly every major city become an easy target. A look at some of the worst terrorists attacks in India since the last 3 decades.

Home Minister P Chidambaram said today in parliament that intelligence on possible terror attacks was shared with the Delhi Police in July. At this stage, however, he said it's not possible to identify who is responsible for today's bomb blast in Delhi which has killed 10 people and injured 56.
The High Court had also been targeted in May this year when a bomb exploded in a parking lot , but nobody was injured.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Wednesday said there were "weaknesses" in the security system that needed to be plugged, he said while speaking to reporters on board his special aircraft while returning home after a two-day visit to Dhaka.

He said: "Several mechanisms were put in place after the Mumbai blasts... there are weaknesses in our system, we must work hard to plug the weaknesses."

He added that he was confident that India would win the war against terror.

"I am confident that this is a war we will and we must win," said Manmohan Singh in reply to a query on the blast in which 11 people were killed.

"Instead of wasting time in mutual recrimination, all political parties must pool their wisdom" on the issue, he said.

Harkat-ul-Jihadi (HuJI) takes responsibility for today's blast in Delhi.

HUJI is a Pakistan-based terrorist group. "We take the mail very seriously," said NIA Chief S C Sinha.

The email states, " We owe the responsibility of todays blasts at high court delhi..... our demand is that Afzal Guru's death sentence should be repealed immediately else we would target major high courts & THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA..........".

Afzal Guru has been sentenced to death by the Supreme Court for his role in the attack on the Indian Parliament in 2001. His mercy petition that asks for his sentence to be commuted to life is pending with President Pratibha Patil. The Home Ministry has reportedly recommended that it be rejected.

Identifying who is behind a briefcase bomb that exploded this morning at the Delhi High Court will have to be accomplished without the help of security cameras. Ten people have died and at least 56 have been injured.

Sources confirm that all gates of the Delhi High Court do not have CCTV. This security lapse was highlighted in May this year when a bomb exploded in a parking lot near the same court.

Today's blast took place at Gate No 5 at a counter where entry permits are issued to visitors. The bomb was placed in a briefcase.

Extending the Transportation Bill to Keep America Moving

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 09:42:00 +0000

WASHINGTON – In this week’s address, President Obama called on Congress to do what it has done seven times over the past two years and pass a clean extension of the transportation bill. Failure of Congress to act would be disastrous for the economy, costing nearly one million workers their jobs over the next year and almost $1 billion in highway funding after the first ten days alone.

Remarks of President Barack Obama
Weekly Address
The White House
September 3, 2011

At the end of September, if Congress doesn’t act, funding for our roads and bridges will expire. This would put a stop to highway construction, bridge repair, mass transit systems and other important projects that keep our country moving quickly and safely. And it would affect thousands of construction workers and their families who depend on the jobs created by these projects to make ends meet.

Usually, renewing this transportation bill is a no-brainer. In fact, Congress has renewed it seven times over the last two years. But thanks to political posturing in Washington, they haven’t been able to extend it this time – and the clock is running out.

Allowing this bill to expire would be a disaster for our infrastructure and our economy. Right away, over 4,000 workers would be furloughed without pay. If it’s delayed for just 10 days, we will lose nearly $1 billion in highway funding that we can never get back. And if we wait even longer, almost 1 million workers could be in danger of losing their jobs over the next year.

Those are serious consequences, and the pain will be felt all across the country. In Virginia, 19,000 jobs are at risk. In Minnesota, more than 12,000. And in Florida, over 35,000 people could be out of work if Congress doesn’t act.

That makes no sense – and it’s completely avoidable. There’s no reason to put more jobs at risk in an industry that has been one of the hardest-hit in this recession. There’s no reason to cut off funding for transportation projects at a time when so many of our roads are congested; so many of our bridges are in need of repair; and so many businesses are feeling the cost of delays.

This isn’t a Democratic or a Republican issue – it’s an American issue. That’s why, last week, I was joined at the White House by representatives from the AFL-CIO and the Chamber of Commerce – two groups who don’t always see eye-to-eye, but who agree that it’s critically important for our economy that Congress act now.

That’s also why 128 mayors from both parties wrote to Congress asking them to come together and pass a clean extension. These are the local leaders who are on the ground every day, and who know what would happen to their communities if Congress fails to act.

So I’m calling on Congress, as soon as they come back, to pass a clean extension of the transportation bill to keep workers on the job, keep critical projects moving forward, and to give folks a sense of security.

There’s a lot of talk in Washington these days about creating jobs. But it doesn’t help when those same folks turn around and risk losing hundreds of thousands of jobs just because of political gamesmanship. We need to pass this transportation bill and put people to work rebuilding America. We need to put our differences aside and do the right thing for our economy. And now is the time to act.

President’s Jobs Council Listening and Action Sessions in Portland and Dallas

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 10:04:00 +0000

This week, the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness held Listening and Action Sessions in Portland, Oregon and Dallas, TX. The events are part of a series of regional Council Listening and Action Sessions that are taking place around the country as a result of the President’s challenge that the Council bring new voices to the table and ensure that everyone can participate and inform the Council’s work and recommendations. The ideas and information exchanged at these events will help inform the future policy work of the President’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, which meets with President Obama each quarter to recommend critical steps that both the private and public sectors can take to create jobs and help strengthen the economy.

Jobs Council member Paul Otellini, CEO of Intel, joined with business leaders and the Deans of Engineering schools in Portland, Oregon to discuss America’s need for engineers as part of a regional Listening and Action session.

On Wednesday, Energy Secretary Steven Chu and Jobs Council members Paul Otellini, CEO of Intel, and Darlene Miller, CEO, Permac Industries, joined with business leaders and the Deans of Engineering schools in Portland, Oregon to discuss America’s need for engineers as part of a regional Listening and Action session hosted by the President’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness. The panelists shared their thoughts on how the private and public sectors can help the United States graduate more engineers and answered questions from audience members, including local small business owners and educators.

In addition, the Jobs Council announced that 45 industry leaders, including American Express, BNSF Railway, Boeing, DuPont, DuPont, Eaton, GE, Intel, Facebook, NextEra Energy, and Xerox have committed to doubling engineering internships at their companies in 2012, strengthening the skills and talent of our students with hands-on, technical opportunities.

U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood discusses the importance of strengthening the skills and talent of our students with hands-on, technical opportunities.

As Secretary Chu noted, “The President cares very deeply about getting Americans back to work, number one. He cares very deeply about those things in America that we can nurture that not only get people back to work immediately but form the basis of an enduring prosperity. You look in history and say, what was fueling the semiconductor, computer and internet revolutions, the biotech revolutions, the aerospace – all of those things. It goes back a lot to science and engineering education – that’s one of our core strengths in the United States.”

The commitments made this week, which will create about 6,300 new opportunities for engineering students, support the Job Council’s goal to graduate 10,000 more engineering students from U.S. colleges and universities each year.
On Thursday, the Jobs Council met in Dallas with local business owners to discuss the steps we have taken to strengthen our nation’s infrastructure and come up with initiatives and policies to further grow the economy and accelerate hiring. The Listening and Action session held at Southern Methodist University highlighted the broad coalition of opinion leaders who are calling on Congress to pass a clean extension of key transportation programs to protect critical jobs and bolster our roads, bridges, runways and railways. From modernizing the nation's air traffic control system and transmission infrastructure to promoting incentives to promote private investment in the latest broadband technologies, Jobs Council members and other experts focused on the importance of infrastructure investment to creating jobs across sectors of the American economy.

EU states divided on Palestinian statehood bid

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 09:22:00 +0000

EU foreign ministers meet to discuss September UN bid; Austrian FM says European leaders must prevent split in UN vote in September.

SOPOT, Poland - European Union governments sought a common approach on Friday to a possible Palestinian bid for statehood at the United Nations this month but deep policy differences looked set to undermine the efforts.

Austria's Foreign Minister Michael Spindelegger said one solution could be for the EU to propose its own resolution to the UN on the sensitive issue but other diplomats said privately that several EU capitals opposed the idea.

Speaking to reporters at a seaside resort in Poland, where EU foreign ministers met for two daysof informal talks, Spindelegger said the bloc could use its previous statements on the Middle East as a basis for a common view.

"So far the positions in the EU are very divergent," Spindelegger told reporters. "I hope that we, as Europe, can send a signal ... and phrase a text which eventually might be brought before the (..) assembly."

With peace talks with Israel frozen, the Palestinians have vowed to seek full UN membership for a state in the Gaza Strip and West Bank, with East Jerusalem as its capital, during the assembly's next General Assembly in September.

The bid has little chance of success because of opposition from the United States which has said it would veto it at the Security Council.

A veto would prevent a vote from being held at the General Assembly but the Palestinians may seek an upgrade of their status instead which would bring the issue up for discussion at the forum.

As well as aggravating tensions in the Middle East, for the EU, a vote at the UN could be deeply embarrassing, if members of the 27-state bloc split into opposing camps, with some backing Palestinian efforts and others opposing them.

Having its difficulties in forging a common view exposed would undermine the EU's efforts to become more influential in international affairs.

The EU's foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton, has tried to bolster the EU's global clout since taking the position in 2009, and in particular since the Arab Spring has created an opportunity for the EU to have a say in how new democracies in North Africa and the Middle East develop.

Ashton herself said in Sopot that EU capitals still had to time to decide how to act at the UN and said efforts should continue to mediate between Israel and the Palestinians in the meantime.

I just came back from discussions with the leadership of the Palestinian authority and the Prime Minister of Israel ... on how we move forward to get negotiations moving," she told reporters.

"My objective is the resumption of negotiations so we can actually get to a settlement."

But foreign ministers speaking in Sopot underscored deeply ingrained differences in Europe.

Luxembourg's Jean Asselborn said the EU needed to give support to the Palestinians and a bid for an upgrade of their status at the UN.

"I cannot agree to say no," he said.

Dutch minister Uri Rosenthal expressed the opposite view, shared by EU power-broker Germany, the United States and Israel, that the Palestinians should refrain from unilateral moves and push to resume peace negotiations instead.

"The Dutch position has been very clear ... we are totally against any unilateral steps whatever they might be and any step should be on the basis of any agreement of all the parties concerned," he said.

For Immediate Release

August 22, 2011

Tonight, the momentum against the Qadhafi regime has reached a tipping point. Tripoli is slipping from the grasp of a tyrant. The Qadhafi regime is showing signs of collapsing. The people of Libya are showing that the universal pursuit of dignity and freedom is far stronger than the iron fist of a dictator.

The surest way for the bloodshed to end is simple: Moammar Qadhafi and his regime need to recognize that their rule has come to an end. Qadhafi needs to acknowledge the reality that he no longer controls Libya. He needs to relinquish power once and for all. Meanwhile, the United States has recognized the Transitional National Council as the legitimate governing authority in Libya. At this pivotal and historic time, the TNC should continue to demonstrate the leadership that is necessary to steer the country through a transition by respecting the rights of the people of Libya, avoiding civilian casualties, protecting the institutions of the Libyan state, and pursuing a transition to democracy that is just and inclusive for all of the people of Libya. A season of conflict must lead to one of peace.

The future of Libya is now in the hands of the Libyan people. Going forward, the United States will continue to stay in close coordination with the TNC. We will continue to insist that the basic rights of the Libyan people are respected. And we will continue to work with our allies and partners in the international community to protect the people of Libya, and to support a peaceful transition to democracy.

Knowledge Lokpal Bill

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 06:44:00 +0000

For your education if you do not know this ----

See how Lokpal Bill can curb the politicians.
Circulate it to create awareness

Existing System	System Proposed by civil society
No politician or senior officer ever goes to jail despite huge evidence because Anti Corruption Branch (ACB) and CBI directly come under the government. Before starting investigation or initiating prosecution in any case, they have to take permission from the same bosses, against whom the case has to be investigated.	Lokpal at centre and Lokayukta at state level will be independent bodies. ACB and CBI will be merged into these bodies. They will have power to initiate investigations and prosecution against any officer or politician without needing anyoneⳠpermission. Investigation should be completed within 1 year and trial to get over in next 1 year. Within two years, the corrupt should go to jail.
No corrupt officer is dismissed from the job because Central Vigilance Commission, which is supposed to dismiss corrupt officers, is only an advisory body. Whenever it advises government to dismiss any senior corrupt officer, its advice is never implemented.	Lokpal and Lokayukta will have complete powers to order dismissal of a corrupt officer. CVC and all departmental vigilance will be merged into Lokpal and state vigilance will be merged into Lokayukta.
No action is taken against corrupt judges because permission is required from the Chief Justice of India to even register an FIR against corrupt judges.	Lokpal & Lokayukta shall have powers to investigate and prosecute any judge without needing anyoneⳠpermission.
Nowhere to go - People expose corruption but no action is taken on their complaints.	Lokpal & Lokayukta will have to enquire into and hear every complaint.
There is so much corruption within CBI and vigilance departments. Their functioning is so secret that it encourages corruption within these agencies.	All investigations in Lokpal & Lokayukta shall be transparent. After completion of investigation, all case records shall be open to public. Complaint against any staff of Lokpal & Lokayukta shall be enquired and punishment announced within two months.
Weak and corrupt people are appointed as heads of anti-corruption agencies.	Politicians will have absolutely no say in selections of Chairperson and members of Lokpal & Lokayukta. Selections will take place through a transparent and public participatory process.
Citizens face harassment in government offices. Sometimes they are forced to pay bribes. One can only complaint to senior officers. No action is taken on complaints because senior officers also get their cut.	Lokpal & Lokayukta will get public grievances resolved in time bound manner, impose a penalty of Rs 250 per day of delay to be deducted from the salary of guilty officer and award that amount as compensation to the aggrieved citizen.
Nothing in law to recover ill gotten wealth. A corrupt person can come out of jail and enjoy that money.	Loss caused to the government due to corruption will be recovered from all accused.
Small punishment for corruption- Punishment for corruption is minimum 6 months and maximum 7 years.	Enhanced punishment - The punishment would be minimum 5 years and maximum of life imprisonment.

height of politicians and corruption

noreply@blogger.com (Vijendra Kumar) — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 19:55:00 +0000

Today, where crisis is for "unemployment for educated people and education for illiterate" people seem to forgotten who the people are who actually responsible actually led to this situation where today every human being is discussing, sticking to know what is going on for corruption and one and only one 'Anna Hazare" is the person who have come out to jolt the government, awakening the youth and "common man" and his this action is taking place fruitfully today.

and now we can say that now its the time to make our awakening, education and keeping an eye whats happening within the "Indian System" then only we'll be able to make ourselves strong.

let me introduce few corrupted politicians to their height of Politician and corruption they were involved in deeply.

The peak of irony was when Anna was, allegedly, lodged in the Tihar Jail that housed the people who were responsible for two of the biggest scams in the our country/India ever. and you should know that How must the authorities have felt when they saw A Raja and Suresh Kalmadi fill

their plates while Anna was on a fast because of their misdeeds.

Today, corruption has become an unavoidable part of politics and every now and then, one or the other politician re-affirms about this fact.

everyone is willing to know what is happening for corruption and now the whole Indians are not sit against corruption to make it corruption free India.

Following are the few top rated corrupt politicians who are responsi

ble for Indian letting down in economy across the universe.

Suresh Kalmadi, who is a Member of Parliam

ent from Pune the corrupt politician who is responsible for 70,000 crores CWG scam.

earlier he was president of IOA (Indian Olympic Association). He served the Indian Air Force b

etween 1964–1972 and was a recipient of eight medals in his career after premature discharge from job, he started a small fast food shop in Pune, Sanjay Gandhi was the person who taken him into politics and asked to join Congress Party.

Kalmadi have been serving 3 times Rajya Sabha Member and 2 times Lok Sabha Member and during P.V Narsimha Rao he served as a state minister for railways from 1995 to 1996.

On April 25, 2011 Kalmadi was arrested by CBI for awarding illegal contracts to a Swiss firm for Timing-Scoring-Result (TSR) system for the 2010 Common Wealth Games causing a loss of Rs 95 crore to the exchequer and he made Common Wealth to his own wealth.

Kalmadi, his daughter payal, his son Sumeer and son-in-law Aditya were allegedly i

nvolved in 1600 crores INR scam of Formula one grand prix in 2007.

A. Raja, Who have been serving a state minister, cabinet minister, Union Cabinet Minister was allegedly involved in the biggest scam ever of Rs. 176,000 crore 2G Spectrum scam.

he was the main accused of 2G Spectrum Scam.

at present A Raja is in Tihar Jail.

Mayawati, a dalit lady known as 'behen ji' is a su

premo of BSP and currently serving as 4th time

s Chief Minister of India's most populous state Uttar Pradesh has always been criticized for ostentatious display of power in her state. She has allegedly used her status as chief minister to amass large amounts of personal wealth. She was charged with corruption when the Taj Heritage Corridor Case was uncovered.

her b'day have always been media events every year where she usually appears decked in diamond jewellery and also caught accepting public donations for which, she often comes under fire. Her assets are worth millions of dollars and in the year 2007-08, she had paid an income tax of Rs. 26 crores, which placed her amongst the top 20 taxpayers of the year.

Present Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu Filmfare Best Actress Awarded Jayalalitha the incumbent general secretary of AIADMK, called Amma (English: Mother) and Puratchi Thalaivi (English: Revolutionary Leader) by her followers has a staggering 46 corruption cases against her. Amongst the various scams were the Rs. 70 million coal import scam, Tansi land deal case, case of disproportionate assets and colour TV case, amongst many others. A raid in her residence and business establishments led to the seizure of some 28 kg of jewellery (worth Rs 51 crore), 91 wrist-watches, 41 air-conditioners, 10,500 sarees, 750 pairs of footwears, etc. She along with her former cabinet colleagues and senior bureaucrats who worked with her are still facing investigation with regard to corruption.

Lalu Yadav, President of the Rashtriya Janata Dal political party and has been serving as Railways Minister and Chief Minister of Bihar from 1990 till 1997 was allegedly

involved in famous Rs. 950 crore Fodder Scam.

Yadav formed the his party Rashtriya Janta Dal (RJD) in 1997, after breaking away from the Janta Dal (JD) According to Limca Book of records, he is the longest serving president of an Indian Political Party.

Madhua Kora Former Jharkand Chief Minister(from 2006 to 2008), and only the third independent legislator to assume the office of chief minister in India, was responsible for a scam worth over Rs. 4000 crore. The man exploited the state's natural resources by licensing illegal mining leases and stashing away the wealth amassed during the undertaking. Furthermore, the Maoists received a 30% share of the booty. Koda was arrested on charges of money laundering and is still in prison following the rejection of numerous bail applications.

His father wanted Koda to have a "normal life" and remain a farmer or iron worker, but after experiencing corruption in the iron industry, he eventually began a career in politics.

there are few others like Karunanidhi's daughter Kanimojhi, Sheila Dikshit (Chief Minister of Delhi), Sharad pawar, BS Yeddyurappa and Sonia Gandhi who don't know ABCD about India ruling our nation.

So think if such kind of scams will be going then where we'll found ourselves stand after 10-15 years.

come ahead and move together to demolish corruption and teach the rurals how they help getting the corruption demolish to make this India a Great India.

The Most Unfortunate thing is that they are still in power and no Corruption charges are possibly going to be proven, and that is why the all movement is going on by ANNA HAZARE and his team, I STRONGLY urge u all as well to join Anna.

Lets bring a bright time, Ahead!!!

congress is 'C' Company stands for Corrupt and Cheat now its call for legal system step in

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 21:05:00 +0000

Its a question now that who is responsible for 910,603,234,300,000 Indian Rupees.

Its a very bad time in India now when the ruling party, ruling government is not supporting the cause except explaining and all the active,minded people within the ruling party is not entertaining it properly they do behave like a novice who don't what does the mean of 'politics'.

Today, there are most popular terms in India named 'corruption', 'inflation' and 'black-money' and a common man, socialists, politicians is discussing it publicly.

Till now ruling party and its members defined 'robbers' to rob this country by doing lot of scams together because a party and its active members are like a family and if a person gets corrupt in any scam then its family head responsibility and for today the family head is Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh so now its our legal system responsibility to punish family head and all the corrupted members within the family then only we can make our India a 'Great India'.

there are few known scams occurred so far 'Adarsh Society Scam', '2G spectrum', 'Common Wealth', 'Boforse Scam', 'swiss bank almost US$1456 billion', and the total expected amount for all these scams is about 910,603,234,300,000 Indian Rupees have been eaten by the Indian politicians in the various scams.

can you count this amount? it is Nine crore ten lakhs six thousand three hundred and twenty-three crore forty-three lakhs Indian rupees.

and today you can say that this is the main cause that India called 'POOR' on economical surface and in this country a rich person is getting more rich and a poor is more poorer.

and now when it went above the head, a well known socialist have come ahead to fight against this corruption and the corrupted people moving ahead along with common-man of India his name is 'Anna Hazare' who have been fought for lot of corrupted people involved in various scams happened in Maharashtra and now he stood up for entire India and being a active socialist and a nation-lover he is on the road to demolish the corruption but as usual the ruling party, ruling government and its members are creating hurdles.

Anna Hazare started this revolute on April 5, 2011 and till now he got lot of hurdles on the way so let see when we'll get success to get this Jan-Lokpal Bill enacted.

I should say that every Indian come ahead to enact this strong anti-corruption act as envisaged in the Jan-Lokpal Bill which is a secure, hard law to establish a Lokpal with the power to deal with corruption in public offices in India then only we can make our INDIA a 'GREAT INDIA' and can become proud of.

JAI HIND, JAI BHARAT!!!

literacy and employment for all can demolish the corruption

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 17:37:00 +0000

Today, in this universe the corruption, unemployment and scams are on the top and there is an intimation for these but we have to be an open-minded human being and have to analyze every cause carefully so that we can identify what wrong is going to happen in our life.

we have to think about every aspect logically and practically then only we can overcome with it.

because there is a time which intimate us about the mishappening is going to be around us and during that time we have to be conscious about.

To demolish the corruption we have to be educate and employed, education doesn't means the BA,BSc or any other degree but being an educate is the means of understanding the system and have to be up-do-date with it.

We shouldn't consider others experiences as personified, manipulated and fabricated.

we have to be confident and trust on others experiences and have to take it seriously which will help us to overcome to the corruption and unemployment.

I share you my recent experience with you which is not new but it happens in every city.

one person sends a mail to lot of people on the behalf of HCL (a MNC well known brand) in which he mentioned that the recipient will attend an interview for few mentioned profiles matching his/her criteria at Banglore corporate office and he asked to him/her to pay a refundable interview fee and candidate deposited that fee but after that all his/her numbers got switched off and he disappeared.

the account which he asked to deposit the money is not himself it was of any other person.

So, understand that there are lot of indications in this activity getting involved in this small type of corruption whose main cause was unemployment and I want you to inform that in such cases do the following.

1. in your email see the sender's email in that you'll find that the sender's email is not a genuine email.

2. don't respond such emails related to paid jobs, training and lotteries.

3. no one give you job for small money in any private/government sectors.

So be aware.
