Editorial : MORE IMRAANAS
& SHA BANOOS URGENT NEED FOR UNIFORM CIVIL CODE
Recent case of rape victim, SMT. Imraana has proved that how inhuman , illogical
the fatwa & shariat laws of muslim community are. It reminds us of medieval
times. The so-called ardent followers of shariat laws, only force it on their
women folk. The shariat laws with respect to men folk like prohibition on drinking,
smoking, adultery,etc & the punishments like public stoning to death are
not enforced. The muslim men are authorised by shariat to marry more women but
they must look after all their needs as per shariat. They can divorce their
wives by triple talaq if they are not satisfied with them. This part of shariat
is carried out by menfolk however the other part of shariat which stipulates
paying back of dukthari, woman's belongings,her properties all to her after
talaq are not at all followed.
The male chauvinists in muslim community are the worst violators of shariat.
They are suitably manipulating shariat to supress muslim women. The central
government is also dancing to the tunes to safeguard it's vote bank. Take the
case of shaa banoo during P.M. Rajiv gandhi's regime. Inspite of supreme court
ruling to pay living expenses to her by her ex-husband, the govt passed a bill
annulling the SC verdict.
The govt gives subsidy to haj pilgrims, does it give the same amount of subsidy
to kashi pilgrims, bodhgaya pilgrims, bethleham &
All religions are
based on humanity & equitable justice, are good, great & lead to the
same supreme power. It is the subsequent interpretations which are inhuman.
According to times, the medieval rituals which may be right at that time, at
that place but now inhuman, illogical at this time & at this place-india, should
be dropped. The religion must be within the confines of home. Before law,
everybody is equal & must be treated as equals, both women & men.
Hereby, HRW urges the honourable supreme court of

We do frame people, says NCB official
Sub-Inspector Tell HC How They Plant Drugs On Innocents
Abhinav Garg / TNN
New Delhi:It's been
suspected by many, but confirmation of the police falsely implicating people by
planting drugs on them has now come from the policeman himself who has been
accused of planting drugs on two innocent people.
Sub-Inspector
Ranbir Singh of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) admitted at the Delhi High
Court that testing kits for checking banned drugs wereoften defective. What's
more officers often replaced the recovered substance with lethal drugs in order
to implicate them. A shocked court has summoned the NCB director to explain the
charge.
Ranbir
is himself tainted of this grave abuse of authority. There is an FIR against
him for falsely implicating rwo persons under the harsh Narcotics Drugs and
Psychotropic Substances act. He claimed to have recovered 100gm heroin from
them which later turned out to be harmless paracetomal powder.
The
officer is now seeking to get the FIR quashed and in his defence has claimed
that he was not the only one who framed people, several other officers did the
same.
The Judge has also summoned the Kamala Market Narcotics Cell in-charge from
whose area Singh allegedly picked up the two persons.
The
Director and the Cell in-charge will have to explain before the court as to how
these two innocents were booked and thrown into jail when two forensic reports
clearly stated that the substance in question was paracetomol.
The
case in which Singh is involved took place in March last year. Gyanender and
Santosh were arrested by him for alleged possesion of heroin. The substance was
sent for testing to two CFCL labs-one in Rohini and the other in Chandigarh-
and both labs reported back that the powder was'nt heroin but just parecetomal.
After
this came to light, the additional sessions judge hearing the case acquited the
two men and recommended that an FIR be lodged against Singh as the two
undertrials had to languish in jail because of the wanton abuse of authority.
The high court, while hearing a petition filed by
Singh seeking quashing of FIR against him found it intriguing that even when
the investigating team is equipped with "field testing kit" to test
the contraband, they had mistaken paracetomal powder for heroin. Upon which
Singh revealed that kits were often defective and that officers also changed the actual
recovered substance with banned contraband.
AN APPEAL TO HONOURABLE CHIEF MINISTER OF CHATTISGARH

11. Soyam Raju, aged 12 years father's name Bheemulu
12. Mr. Soyam Nareya, aged 20 years father's name Tammaiah
[all are residents of Nendra village, Dantewada district in Chhattisgarh and
belongs to the Scheduled Tribe of India]
Alleged perpetrators:
Members of the Indian Reserve Battalion [Nagaland] stationed in Chhattisgargh
and those attached to the Salwa Judum - Dantewada
Date and place of incident:
March 13, 2007 at Nendra village, Dantewada district in Chhattisgarh
I am
writing to request you to immediately take actions against those who were
responsible for the massacre of eleven children in Nendra village, Dantewada
district in Chhattisgarh. I am informed that on March 13, 2007 eleven children
and a local youth was gunned down by the members of the Indian Reserve
Battalion [Nagaland] stationed in Chhattisgarh and the members of the local
faction of the Salwa Judum.
I am
concerned that the villagers did not even complain about the incident since
they have lost faith in the state administration. I am also concerned about the
escalating violence in Chhattisgarh, which is fanning out of control. I have
been informed that the state government has nearly failed in addressing the law
and order situation in the state and is now increasingly resorting to promoting
private armed militia groups in the state.
I
therefore urge you to immediately intervene in this case so that a proper
complaint is registered regarding the incident and the case is investigated and
the perpetrators punished. I also urge you to make sure that the Chhattisgarh
state government takes all necessary steps to regain the faith of the local
communities in the state.
Towards
this end the operation of Salwa Judum in the state must be immediately stopped
and the state must declare and practice non-tolerance to violence used by the
state as well as by the Naxalites.
The
state administration must also ensure that the tribal communities staying in
remote villages in the state are not forcefully evacuated and their resources
are not allowed to be exploited indiscriminately.
I trust
that you will take action in this case.
Your's
sincerely,
NAGARAJ.M.R.

AN
APPEAL TO HONOURABLE CHIEF MINISTER OF
UTTAR PRADESH
Dear Chief Minister,
Persons affected: The lower
caste community in Shankarpur village
Location: Shankarpur village,
Chiraigaon block in
I am disturbed to hear of the appalling living condition of lower caste
community in Shankarpur village in
I am informed that several complaints were filed by the villagers against the
village head against which no action was taken by the district administration.
I am also informed that the Village Secretary and some officers from the local Block
Office are helping the village head in his deeds.
I am also informed that as of now about 47 families are facing acute starvation
in the village and that all these families belong either to the scheduled caste
or the scheduled tribe. I am further informed that it is difficult to complain
against the village head since so far none of the complaints made against the
village head was taken up by the local police. At the same time whoever
complained was threatened by the village head.
I am informed that a local human rights activist Mr. Harischandra Sonkar, was
threatened, verbally abused and assaulted by the village head and his son since
he had complained against the village head.
I therefore urge you to take immediate steps so that the 47 families who are
denied food and ration in Shankapur village will receive rationed food grains
at the earliest. I also urge you to request the local police to investigate the
complaints filed against the village head of Shankarpur Mr. Sundar Yadav and
his son Mr. Vinod Yadav.
Your's sincerely,
NAGARAJ.M.R.
