[1] From: Abhiyya <abhiyya@yahoo.com Date: Thu May 29, 2008 3:43 pm Subject: Muslim Youth in Tirunelveli and Coimbatore terrorized by unnamed Coimbatore Police Officials "The larger question however is, can the police first arrest Muslim youth in false case brand them as terrorists, and when action with due process of law is demanded against the guilty official, can such a demand be said to promote enmity between two communities? Mercifully the Madras High Court granted the anticipatory bail petition of A. K. Ameen but the larger question still remains - will the police official/s who planted bomb and then arrested innocent Muslim youth be brought to justice? Or will he/they get their normal promotions as the police officials found guilty of murder during 1992-93 Mumbai riots by Srikrishna Commission as if they did not commit any wrong by arresting innocent Muslim youth misusing their authority? That depends on the strength of Human Rights movement in India."

K. Antony with the conductor of the Air Warriors Symphony Orchestra at the opening of the India Pavilion at the ILA-2008 Berlin Air Show. India is a partner country for the first time in this 99-year-old Air Show. BERLIN: India has asked major weapon exporting countries to relax their technology control laws if they wish to participate in the country’s defence modernisation programme which will touch $ 50 billion (Rs. 2 lakh crore) over the next five years. Defence Minister A. K. Antony told this to The Hindu after inaugurating the air show here with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. This is the first time in the exposition’s century-old history that India has been named the partner country. “We don’t want to project India only as a market [for defence platforms]. Indigenisation is our first priority. We want to buy but only with countries willing to completely transfer technology to us. The future is co-development and co-production,” the Minister said. His observation runs counter to the decade-long trend that has seen India emerge as one of the world’s topmost importer of defence products. In his meeting with the German leadership, Mr. Antony said he had sent a clear message to the Western world to stop looking at India as a market for dumping defence equipment. “I told them India is a responsible country. They should further relax their export control laws as far as India is concerned. They said they would look at the issue positively,” Mr. Antony said. He said that the air show provided a good opportunity for India to project its defence capabilities but since the country had demonstrated that it was a historical non-proliferator, it was time the West started dealing with India positively as far as defence technology was concerned. “We cannot shift totally to the concept of full indigenisation otherwise our modernisation will be affected. But we will do business only with countries willing to transfer technology,” the Minister asserted. He assured that the revision of the defence procurement procedure would be effected before the envisaged timeline of September this year and all procurements will be conducted on the basis of quality, competitiveness and price. “There will be total transparency. The occasion [Berlin air show] gives India to show her emerging capabilities,” he said. At the India Pavilion here public sector companies were scouting for partnership opportunities which included a $ 80 million deal to produce an upgraded version of the Dornier aircraft which India has been providing to friendly countries in the region to beef up their surveillance capabilities. http://www.hindu.com/2008/05/29/stories/2008052961561300.htm ----------- [4] Focus on mental health Staff Reporter NEW DELHI: Long ignored and looked down upon, mental health and its related issues are probably for the first time getting the attention they deserve in this country. The Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare under its National Mental Health Programme will soon be releasing a series of advertisements – audio, video and posters – to educate the public on issues relating to mental health. “In India non-communicable diseases are emerging as a major public health problem and there is an urgent need to understand issues related to them. A series of media publicity material about mental health would be released soon and this includes five video, audio and poster capsules educating the general public about mental health and related illness. This is the first time such an effort is being made to reach out to the general public with such a sensitive issue that often gets sidelined when it comes to providing wide publicity about communicable and non-communicable disease,” said the Chief Medical Officer at the Union Health and Family Welfare Ministry, Jagdish Kaur. Created with help from the World Health Organisation and to be made available in 12 regional languages , this latest series will highlight issues relating to the stigma attached to mental health and how mental illness can be treated with proper guidance and medical help. http://www.hindu.com/2008/05/29/stories/2008052954270400.htm |
