Reiterating its order, Prabal Neog commander of dreaded 28 Battalion informed a section of media that initiative in this regard would begin from Kaziranga National Park. “We will flush out all illegal settlers whether national or foreigner from the national park,” disclosed the rebel leader. In this regard, the militant leader also questioned the stand of all such organizations that have been fighting against influx of illegal Bangladeshi migrants to Assam. Last Thursday, ULFA ordered illegal Bangladeshi Migrants to leave Assam within one month or face dire consequences. ---------- [3] From: "dn.rath" <dn.rath@gmail.com Date: Tue Jun 26, 2007 Subject: MSU -Gujarat news ACTIVISTS FROM ACROSS STATE, OTHER FACULTIES JOIN PROTEST; FACULTY DEAN CALLS FOR MEET TODAY OVER HOLDING ENTRANCE EXAMS Another show of solidarity at MSU, shadow over entrance test Express News Service Vadodara, June 25: WHILE suspended professor Shivaji Panikkar and activists from all over Gujarat staged a sit-in protest opposite M S University main campus on Monday, the faculty dean Deepak Kannal has called a meeting on June 26 to discuss how entrance exam for the new academic course could be held. With exam results already on hold, and academic activity in limbo ever since the faculty reopened, a question mark looms over entrance exam to various courses in the faculty. On Monday the agitation held under the aegis of All-India Save Education Committee (AISEC) received widespread response as social and academic activists from different parts of the state, fine arts students and teachers and also teachers from arts, science and home science faculties joined the protest called to support suspended Prof Panikkar, Chandramohan and the movement initiated for university autonomy. Leading state activists like Prakash Shah, Digant Oza along with Panikkar participated in the protest staged at Sayajigunj opposite MSU main campus. Shah said, "It is not just limited to the pictures and alleged obscenity but basic issue is the academic autonomy which is at stake which cannot be compromised." Activist Gautam Thaker said on July 8, a large gathering will held in Ahmedabad to intensify the stir and will spread across the state. The students wore black masks on face and also raised slogans against Vice-Chancellor demanding justice to Prof Panikkar and action against BJP leader Niraj Jain. Meanwhile, after the protest, AISEC sent a fax to the governor signed by all members who joined the dharna on Monday while BUTA is planning to request the teachers of different faculties to come out against the MSU authorities. BUTA president I I Pandya said, "Today it is Prof Panikkar, tomorrow it might someone else." He said Prof Panikkar has made offence that merited his being removed from teaching profession and banned from entering university premises. Prof Kannal said he was going to discuss with his colleagues on rescheduling exams as many candidates and parents come from all across the country and as they would have booked tickets, it would be harsh on them. Amongst others present during the protest were Prof Deepak Kumar De, Prof Panikkar, Senate members Narendra Ravat and Kamal Pandya, Suryakant Shah, Prof JS Bandukwala, Prof Surekha Devi, Rajkumar Hans, Anjali Karolia, BUTA chief Pandya . ---------- [4] From: syed rahman <surahman2000@yahoo.com Date: Tue Jun 26, 2007 Subject: BC Panel seeks Muslim view on reservation based on occupational groups BC Panel seeks Muslim view on reservation based on occupational groups By Khabrein Staff Reporter, http://khabrein.info/index.php? option=com_content&task=view&id=1654&Itemid=88 Hyderababd, 26 June: Reservation is being very hotly debated among Muslims in Hyderabad and elsewhere too with several governments including AP government, Tamil Nadu government and the latest entrant in Muslim reservation issue, West Bengal government showing their willingness to give reservation to Muslims in government jobs and education. The debate intensified after a former Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer and former secretary of National Commission for backward castes recommended that not all Muslims should be extended quota benefits. Instead he recommended that quota should be awarded to some Muslims belonging to certain occupational groups. ---------- [5] Mughals And Backwardness Of Indian Women By Adv. Irfan Engineer http://www.countercurrents.org/engineer260607.htm The Presidential nominee of the UPA made an unnecessary statement linking the ghunghat of Hindu women to the Mughal rule Democracy In The Line Of Fire By Hassan N. Gardezi http://www.countercurrents.org/gardezi260607.htm When Gen. Pervez Musharraf’s memoir, In the Line of Fire appeared last year it was perhaps dismissed too quickly by progressive readers and commentators as a military ruler's attempt at self promotion. Yet, as Pakistan is about to celebrates its 60th anniversary, once again under the rule of a military man, it is worthwhile to revisit his book and try specifically to figure out who this man is, how he rose to power, how his mind works as a military politician, and how does his rule link up with previous military regimes in shaping the kind of political system and the civil society we have in Pakistan today A Hallowed Institution That Mirrors The Split Personality Of A Nation By Jawed Naqvi http://www.countercurrents.org/naqvi260607.htm Pratibha Patil appears to be as qualified as Shekhawat if not more with a law degree and years of experience as a state minister. More recently she was the governor of Rajasthan. If elected she would be the first woman to hold the office of the president. But she has said somewhere recently that Mughals invaders were responsible for the veil that Hindu women wear. The remark is being interpreted as implicitly communal if also rooted in ignorance http://www.countercurrents.org/donate.htm ------------ [6] From: Sukla Sen <suklasen@yahoo.com Date: Tue Jun 26, 2007 Subject: Nepal: Reactions on Latest Election Schedule I/III. http://www.nepalnews.com/archive/2007/jun/jun26/news03.php UNMIN, India welcome announcement of polls date II. http://www.nepalnews.com/archive/2007/jun/jun25/news12.php EC to govt: Improve security for free and fair polls III. http://www.nepalnews.com/archive/2007/jun/jun26/news11.php Congress leaders scoff at Prachanda’s ‘dream’ to become President -------------- [7] From: yogi sikand <ysikand@yahoo.com Date: Tue Jun 26, 2007 Subject: New Release: Condensed Version of Sachar Committee Report on Muslims Dear Friend The Bangalore-based Centre for Contemporary Studies has published a 67-page condensed version of the Sachar Committee Report on Indian Muslims, edited by M.
