The VHP today threatened to launch country-wide agitation over Jammu and Kashmir Governor N N Vohra's decision to curtail the Amarnath yatra by a period of 15 days and asked him to reconsider his decision.

"We warn the Governor to immediately change his decision of curtailment in the Amarnath yatra period by 15 days and make an announcement of holding full 2-month long period yatra as per the traditional and religious calendar", VHP State President Dr Ramakant Dubey told reporters here today.

The Hindu : News / National : Illegal detention charge: Supreme Court issues notice to Rahul

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi at an election rally in Guwahati on Tuesday. The Supreme Court has issued notices to Mr. Gandhi and the U.P. government on a petition by a former legislator.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday issued notice to Congress generalsecretary Rahul Gandhi, the U.P. government and four others on a petition filed by a former MLA challenging Rs. 50 lakh fine slapped on him by the Allahabad High Court in an alleged case of illegal detention.

A bench of justices V.S. Sirpurkar and T.S. Thakur while staying the High Court order, which had also directed a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation against the former legislator, asked the respondents to file their replies within four weeks.

Former Samajwadi Party MLA from Madhya Pradesh Kishore Samrite had challenged the High Court order, saying it was illegal and arbitrary and issued without application of mind.

The Lucknow Bench of Allahabad High Court had last month slapped a penalty of Rs. 50 lakh on Mr. Samrite who had moved a habeas corpus petition against Mr. Rahul Gandhi alleging he had kept in captivity a girl and her parents, which later turned out to be false

Corruption a bigger threat to India than Pakistan: Anna Hazare - Rediff.com News

Corruption a bigger threat to India than Pakistan: Anna Hazare - Rediff.com News

Activist Anna Hazare at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi
Activist Anna Hazare's campaign against corruption gathered steam as he received support from scores of people across India on Monday. But for Hazare this fight is nothing new. He first raised his voice against malpractices in the system in the early 1990s, reports Sheela Bhatt.


Hazare's is campaigning for a compressive Lok Pal Bill to give wider powers to the ombudsman to check corruption attracted a huge crowd of over 3,000 people at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi. Noted reformist Swami Agnivesh, former Indian Police Service officer Kiran Bedi, Right to Information activist Arvind Kejriwal and Supreme Court lawyer Prashant Bhushan were among the prominent personalities showing their support to Hazare.

Hazare's fight is against the Lok Pal Bill. The draft of the new bill to deal with corruption is ready since 2010, but the government's intention is to present its watered-down version, which many activists are opposing. Experts believe that even if the bill is passed in Parliament it won't nail corruption.

Jittery Cong calls Anna Hazare an RSS agent : North: India Today

Anna Hazare
Vociferous Protest: Anna Hazare, Kiran Bedi and other activists during the anti-corruption stir in New Delhi on Tuesday.
The grand old party is showing its mean face. Rattled by the huge groundswell of support forveteran Gandhian Anna Hazare, who began a fast unto-death to press for a comprehensive anti-corruption watchdog law, the ruling Congress party reacted on Tuesday by trying to discredit Hazare's growing movement.

The party's counter-offensive hinged on the shocking claim that persons like Hazare were acting like agents of the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS).

Liberally loading its smear brush with saffron, a senior party leader fumed, "He is not a Gandhian, but an RSS agent." The insinuation, however, doesn't seem to be registering with the thousands of ordinary citizens who joined Hazare in a protest sit-in at Jantar Mantar, even as spontaneous demonstrations of support erupted across the nation.


But the Congress is seeing darker designs behind the movement. Senior party leaders, while refusing to go on record, said similar campaigns had been launched in 1972 in the form of the "JP movement" to destabilise Indira Gandhi in the aftermath of the Bangladesh War. Later, the same was done to the Rajiv Gandhi, when the spectre of the Bofors scam was raised, they said. "The same forces in different form have now infiltrated Hazare's campaign, while some civil society activists have been co-opted," a Congress leader said.


"And in between there is enough scope that if any constructive suggestion comes, amendments can be moved," he said requesting Hazare to engage in "constructive discussion." He downplayed questions on National Advisory Council's reported rejection of the draft Lokpal Bill saying that in a democracy, differences always exist and a harmonious consensus is arrived at through healthy discussions.


The party says it has no problem with the Bill hanging fire for over four decades, but the course adopted by Hazare which is fraught with dangers. "The entire democratic process can be held to ransom if some maverick sits on a dharna demanding this or that," a senior Congresman said.

While the party was officially restrained, senior party leaders came down heavily on Hazare saying that his so called movement against corruption was supported by characters like yoga guru Ram Dev, and "RSS backers" like Gurumurthy.


HISTORY OF THE BILL


  • The first mention of an anti-corruption ombudsman (Lokpal) was made in the early 1960s when Jawaharlal Nehru was PM. But it was in 1966 that a Lokpal was proposed at the Centre and Lokayuktas in states

  • In 1968, a Lokpal Bill was presented for the first time in the fourth Lok Sabha. The House passed it in 1969. But while it was pending, LS was dissolved

  • The Bill was revived in 1971, 1977, 1985, 1989, 1996, 1998 and 2001. But each time, it was referred to some committee of Parliament

  • The most recent revival effort was in 2008, when UPA-I was in power. The government has now prepared a rough draft of the Bill

  • A fresh movement for an effective Lokpal began in 2010 after a series of scams. An alternative draft - Jan Lokpal Bill - was prepared by activists India Against Corruption under the guidance of Karnataka Lokayukta Justice Santosh Hegde and senior lawyer Prashant Bhushan
