Delhi: 5-year-old dies of dengue, parents allege negligence Agency | New Delhi
A week after seven-yearold Avinash Rout died of dengue after allegedly being denied admission in five hospitals, a five-yearold boy from Srinivaspuri succumbed to the virus on September 13. His family alleged that they struggled to get him a bed in many hospitals after his condition became critical. Aman Sharma’s father, Manoj, said they first took their son to Safdarjung hospital on September 10 around 10 am after a private laboratory confirmed his dengue diagnosis. “Doctors looked
at him but said there was no need for admission as his platelets were stable. So we took him home,” said the father. The same afternoon, Aman’s condition deteriorated and the family rushed him to the nearby Jeevan Hospital around 4 pm. “He was admitted there for two days. But at 2.30
am on September 12, hospital authorities said Aman was slipping into a critical condition. They asked us to shift him to a higher centre as they did not have adequate infrastructure to treat him,” said Manoj. He said his son was shivering by then and had very high fever. “My son was crying with pain. We were completely helpless. At 3 am, we reached Moolchand Medcity. Doctors put him on drip but told us that they could not admit him as they lacked beds. They asked us to approach another hospital,” he said.

TN urges Centre to seek international probe into ‘war crimes’ in Sri Lanka Agency | New Delhi In a resolution adopted in Assembly, TN sought diplomatic efforts by Centre to change any possible pro-Sri Lanka stand adopted by US in the UN rights body. The Tamil Nadu Assembly on Wednesday unanimously asked the Centre to move a “strong resolution” in the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) for an international probe into the alleged war crimes and genocide in the final phase of the civil war in Sri Lanka. Chief Minister Jayalalithaa urged the Centre to move a resolution along with United States and other countries at the UNHRC for the in-
ternational probe against all the perpetrators of the human rights violations and those responsible for the genocide. “In case, the United States takes a pro-Lankan stand, India should take diplomatic efforts to change that,” Ms. Jayalalithaa said to the unanimous approval of the members in the House. Moving the reso-
lution, the Chief Minister said that the UNHRC will hold its sessions between September 14 and October 2. On September 30, there will be a debate on the Report of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights -Promoting reconciliation and accountability in Sri Lanka. It has been proposed take
action based on the draft agreement on October 1 and 2, she said. Meanwhile, media reports suggested that the Sri Lankan government’s views had been sought on the report. In such a situation, there are apprehensions that a resolution favouring “internal inquiry” by the Sri Lankan government could be moved in the UNHRC. “It is against natural justice. India has a great responsibility to stop it,” Ms. Jayalalithaa said. It was in this context it was decided to unanimously pass a resolution in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly urging the Centre to take steps through the UNHRC for an international probe, she explained.

Patidar or Patel community members in Madhya Pradesh will organize a rally on October 11 in Ratlam district to express solidarity with their brethren in Gujarat who are agitating for their inclusion in OBC quota. The Patels under the aegis of MP Patidar Samaj (MPPS) will also felicitate Patel stir spearhead in Gujarat, Hardik Patel on the occasion. “To express our solidarity with the Patidar Anamat andolan (reservation agitation) underway in Gujarat and to felicitate our community leader of that state Hardik Patel, we are going to hold a mega rally on October 11 in Ratlam
district,” MPPS president Mahendra Patidar said here today. He said Hardik will be the chief guest at the rally wherein the organisers are expecting a turnout of 2.5 lakh people. “Patels have OBC status and are getting reservation across Madhya Pradesh barring three districts of Bhopal, Sehore and Rajgarh. This issue will be raised during the rally,” he added. The agitation being steered by Hardik, the young Patel leader, in the BJP-ruled Gujarat last month had brought a political churn with hordes of youths attending the massive rally that was organised under the Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) in Ahmedabad.

Govt withdraws no-frisking privileges for Robert Vadra at airports Agency | New Delhi
Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law Robert Vadra will no longer be exempted from pat downs at domestic airports, with the union civil aviation ministry on Wednesday removing him from the no-frisking list. Minister of state for civil aviation Mahesh Sharma said the order was issued after Vadra himself asked to be removed from the list. 46year old Vadra welcomed the government action in a post on his Facebook account and expressed the hope that there would be no more political controversies over the privilege extended to him. “I appreciate that my name will not appear in the VVIP list anymore.

The door is still not open
In the wake of Hardik Patel’s theatrics demanding reservation for the prosperous Patel community in Gujarat, there has been a concerted appeal for a review of the policy of affirmative action, based on the well-worn arguments that reservation has hardened caste identities; that discrimination against Dalits is a thing of the past; that reservation is eroding efficiency in administration; that Dalits are now empowered and have a sizeable share of government posts, etc. Convoluted, impractical methods to recalibrate the reservation calculus are being trotted out. Baijayant Panda, a BJD Lok Sabha MP from Odisha, invoked a 2013 analysis by The Economist on the debatable benefits of reservation to endorse the view that making government service representative rather than capable “makes it hard to remove the dysfunctional or corrupt”, thereby smearing the beneficiaries of reservation with the most odious attributes. The unmistakable subtext is that reservations must be scrapped. Casteism in this country has never needed props and it is a mistake to blame the reservation policy for strengthening caste identity. Caste consciousness is integral to our everyday lives; we are all scarred by it. So ingrained is caste in our collective psyche that even a Dalit who converts to Christianity or Sikhism or Islam is hobbled by her social origins. An irrational belief in Dalit inferiority is embedded in our culture. Recognising the social exclusion and oppression faced by Dalits, our founding fathers ensured that the Constitution had provisions such as Article 46, which says: “The state shall promote with special care the educational and economic interests of the weaker sections… and in particular of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and shall protect them from social injustice and all forms of exploitation.” More than six decades later, we are nowhere near fulfilling this pledge. For purveyors of the myth that discrimination against Dalits is no longer a social problem — the “look at Mayawati” argument — reports from the last few days must be discomfiting. Dalit families in Yellaram village in Telangana recently allegedly faced a social boycott because some of them had been in the vicinity of two temples. As retribution, they were not offered work and their children were denied milk. In another incident in Karnataka, upper castes reportedly imposed a penalty of Rs 1,000 on four Dalit women for entering a temple. According to home ministry estimates, thousands of atrocities against Dalits are committed every year. In 2013, there were 39,408 registered cases of atrocities against SC/ STs. Many more went unreported.

Yet another rumoured Bigg Boss 9 possible has denied being on the reality show leaving the number of confirmed contestants on the new season at exactly zero. The latest Bigg Boss noshow is adult actress Mia Khalifa who has not only rubbished the rumours but also said that she’s never going set foot in India. Last week, reports that the Lebanese-Amer-

Now, 22-yeaar-old Mia can be crossed off the list as well, along with actress Shweta Basu Prasad, producer Uday Chopra, controversial godwoman Radhe Maa and comedian Gaurav Gera. The only person who has so far admitted to having been approached by Bigg Boss producers is Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim, whose film MSG 2: The Messenger releases this Friday.

Agency | New Delhi
Agency | New Delhi India ‘A’ won their first one-day match against Bangladesh ‘A’ by 96 runs in Bangalore on Wednesday. After posting 322 /7 on the board, India ‘A’ bowlers, led by five-wicket haul by Gurkeerat Mann, bowled out Bangladesh for 226. The home side posted 322/7 batting first with opener Mayank Agarwal getting a half-century up the order. A middle-order col-
lapse saw India ‘A’ slump to 125/5 before Sanju Samson (73) and Mann (65) shared a 102-run stand for the sixth wicket. Mann was LBW by Arafat Sunny but new batsman Rishi Dahwan smashed a 34-ball 56 to lift team’s score to 322/7. Chasing the score, the visitors were 34/3 with pacer Arvind Sreenath removing Bangladesh top-order. Dhawan then picked up two wickets as first change
bowler to reduce Bangladesh to 84/5. Litton Das and Nasir Hossain built a 120-run partnership to save some pride for their team but once Hossain was removed by Mann, no Bangladesh batsmen showed any fight and the team was all out for 226. Mann picked up the last five wickets as Bangladesh lost those wickets for just 20 runs. Mann finished with figures of 5/29 in his 7.3 overs.

FC Goa beat Al Shabab 2-1 in their second friendly ahead of the upcoming Indian Super League (ISL) season 2, at the Al Shabab stadium in Dubai on Wednesday.

LaxmikantKattimani started in between the sticks in place of Elinton Andrade while Narayan Das, Pronay Halder and Darryl Duffy were handed starts in place of Debabrata Roy, Joaquim Abranches and Thongkhosiem Haokip. The hosts hit on the gas early on, but the Goans managed to ward them off before Leo Moura’s cross for Nicolau Colaco alerted the Al Shabab defense in the eighth minute. Goa kept a good shape in the defence marshalled by mar-
quee player Lucio despite having to deal with a couple of long efforts from their opponents. Reinaldo failed to control Moura’s pass in the 27th minute. Two minutes later, it was 1-0 in favour of FC Goa with Jofre finding the back of the net through a deflected free-kick. The ISL side kept up the ante but Narayan Das was deemed to have fouled an Al Shabab player inside the box, and as a result of the converted penalty

India football coach Stephen Constantine might have expressed issues with the timing of the 2015 SAFF Cup but All India Football Federation (AIFF) General Secretary Kushal Das has dismissed the notion, stating how the Briton was part of the entire process and that there is no issue as far as the scheduling goes. Following the India v Nepal international friendly in August, Constantine had said that he was not looking forward to this year’s SAFF Cup draw because he had concerns regarding the timing of the biennial event. His argument was that since the Indian Super League will end on December 20, it would mean he will not be able to select those players

These advances could give Visible Light Communication (VLC) an important role in the growing Internet of Things (IoT) ? the idea that objects can communicate with each other and share information to create smart environments, according to Stefan Mangold, Head of Disney Research?s wireless research group.

According to the Verge, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO, Facebook said during a public Q&A session that “People have asked about the ‘Dislike’ button for many years and today is a special day, because today is the day that I actually get to say we are working on it and are very close to shipping a test of it”. Mark Zuckerberg also says that Facebook’s goal is to implement the button in a way that makes it a tool to ‘express empathy’, to ‘Dislike’ a sad moment that a friend shared than a way to hurt someone. Mark Zuckerberg further says that they do not want to turn Facebook into a forum where people are voting up or down on people’s posts. That does not seem like the kind of community that they want to create, the users do not want to go through the process of sharing some moment that was important to them in their day and have someone down-vote it.

Bharat Patel | Ahmedabad
Babubhai Patel, a retired government servant arrived early at the bank in his village of Kherol in North Gujarat today, ready to make a withdrawal. He emptied out his account in a sign of protest. ‘’It doesn’t matter if I loose out on the interest I am withdrawing two lakhs fixed deposit from the bank. Only if we stop cooperating economically government will understand our issue.’’ said Babubhai. The 70-yearold is part of thousands members of the Patedar or Patel community, traditionally wealthy and powerful, who have co-

To prove they will pull the support they have traditionally extended to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, the Patels are withdrawing money from cooperative banks, a move designed to rattle the government. In Patel-dominated Vadrad

BJP weighs political fallout of immediate polls as govt prepares reply to SC notice Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad
The BJP government is in a fix as it prepares the reply to a notice by the Supreme Court which stayed the municipal elections on technical grounds earlier this month. The government could have file a review plea in the apex court, but it chose to reply to the notice, weighing the political fallout of holding local body at a time when BJP is facing anger of the Patidar community over OBC quota demand. The elections to seven municipal corporations, district and taluka panchayats are due soon. The government, which is likely to file its reply in a day or two, stands sufficiently warned by the
recent incidents of political leaders being chased out of public events, and even signboards coming up in Patidar neighbourhoods, barring entry to politicians. The Patidars, so far, have been BJP’s most loyal votebank, and it cannot afford to ignore anger among the community members. Recently, BJP MLA from Unjha Narayan Patel sat on a fast to protest alleged police atrocities on the Patidars during the August 25 violence, and even former chief minister Keshubhai Patel did not hesitate to “bless” Hardik Patel hours before the Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti leader was to meet Chief Minister Anandiben Patel on Monday.

Chief Minister Anandiben Patel has said that the state cannot rework its policy to create room for the Patels among the castes that benefit from affirmative action. The Patels, who make up 14 per cent of Gujarat’s 60 million people, were originally land-owning farmers who branched out into trades like diamond polishing. But they say their youth is now being excluded from university education and government jobs, which are reserved for castes seen as far more backward and in need of integration into the mainstream.

The Gujarat High Court on Tuesday rejected a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) seeking declaration of mobile internet ban a violation of fundamental right. The division bench, led by acting Chief Justice Jayant Patel, upheld the state government’s decision that banning internet services during Patel agitation for reservation was “just and proper”. The bench had concluded the hearing last week and had reserved its order. While rejecting the petition the court held that banning mobile internet as well as text messages were in good faith since it was done in order to
impose a ban on internet. The petitioner had also said that such a ban violates fundamental rights. The court order stated, “The degree of protection of the right under Article 21 of the constitution can-
not be fully equated with the protection of fundamental rights available to a citizen under Article 19 (1) of the Constitution since the rights under Article 19 (1) are subject to reasonable restrictions.”
