BJP today accused Rahul Gandhi of politicising the suicide of a Dalit student at Hyderabad Central University after the Congress leader visited the protest-hit campus, and insisted that the issue had nothing to do with the victim being from the backward community. BJP general secretary P Muralidhar Rao attacked Rahul Gandhi for “unprincipled” behaviour, saying that the same Congress which had “harassed” Dalit leader B R Ambedkar “all his life”
was now trying to project itself as champion of Dalit cause. He alleged that Hyderabad student Rohith Vemula’s suicide has been made into political issue by “Congress, section of media and some groups with vested interests”. Rao, in a series of tweets, said, “Suicide of Rohith Vemula has nothing to do with Dalit issues or rights just because he was a Dalit. It is merely politicising of the issue.” “Disciplinary action was taken against Rohith at the advice of the court and even a le-
nient stand was taken by University authorities by permitting him to enter the campus except the hostel,” he said. “Rahul Gandhi’s hurried visit to Hyderabad is an unprincipled behaviour and it is unfortunate that a national political party stoops
to such levels. “Congress did gross injustice to Dr B R Ambedkar and harassed him all his life. Now Rahul Gandhi and Digvijay Singh championing Dalit cause!!,” he said. Rao also hit out at the Delhi Chief Minister, saying, “Arvind
Tere Bin Laden 2 trailer: It looks as promising as the original Agency | New Delhi
Remember 2010 film Tere Bin Laden? Did you like it? If yes, here’s something to excite you more: The film’s sequel will hit the screens on February 19, 2016. The trailer of the sequel starts from where the original left: Uncovering the real identity of Osama Bin Laden lookalike. This time the guy (Pradhuman Singh) has been cast in a film by Sharma (Manish eventually ends up revealing his little secret to some by Abhsihek Sharma, Paul), a filmmaker, who real terrorists headed by Piyush Mishra. Directed Tere Bin Laden: Dead or Alive is a satire on the socio-political situation of South East Asia.
Kejriwal, like always, is trying to fish in troubled waters in the politicized issue of Rohit Vemula suicide!” He has even gone to the extent of demanding apology from the PM, the BJP leader said. Defending the action against the student, Rao said, “The context of the clash between student groups was Ro-
hith’s stand in support of terrorism, including that against hanging of Yakub Memon.” The BJP leader, who hails from Telangana, said Rohith’s suicide note is self revealing. “Connecting with incidents related to his ideological adversaries is baseless and orchestrated,” he said. Rao had yesterday
said that linking Dalit aspect to Hyderabad student death is “objectionable” and it is an “orchestrated campaign to malign the BJP”. Rahul Gandhi, who visited the University campus in Hyderabad, alleged that the Vice Chancellor and Union Ministers have not acted fairly in the case and demanded “strictest” punishment for those responsible for the student’s death. “This youngster was put in so much pain that he had no option but to kill himself. “But when you impose ideas on youngsters, and want only those ideas, then tragedies take place.

2 / Dt. 20-01-2016, Wednesday Editors’ Picks wednesday, JANUARY 20, 2016 Rohith Vemula, death of a philosopher to purify higher education The Dalit student whose suicide has generated political waves, obviously, was a brilliant man. Rohith Vemula’s letter to Prof Appa Rao, the newly appointed vice-chancellor of the university who was once believed to be anti-Dalit by the government, shows that at the time of his suicide, he was angry, upset and depressed. In his first letter to the vice-chancellor, written on December 18, 2015, Rohith said “give us poison or long ropes to hang ourselves”. In his suicide note he was as gracious as Jesus was to his murders. He blamed non but himself to have been born in this kind of society. He made a major point. The higher educational institutions in India do not allow the Dalits--the historical unhtouchables--to study and live with dignity. Obviously what shocked him is the letter of the Labour minister Bandaru Dattatreya, who characterised his organisation--the Ambedkar Student Association--as anti-national, casteist and extremist. It was based on this letter that the Human Resource Development Ministry asked for action against the five Dalit students, who were said to have organised a film show on the Muzaffarnagar communal riots and also a discussion on Yakub Memon’s hanging. Let us not forget that it was just an academic discussion. Yet, members of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) first disrupted that meeting and then set the political machinery in motion alleging an attack by the Dalit students on one of their activists. After the BJP came to power this is a third major assault on Dalit rights and dignity in the country. First, the ban of Ambedkar- Periyar Study Circle of IIT Madras, then the burning alive of the Dalit kids in Haryana and general V.K.Singh describing them as dogs’ death. Now Rohith’s death and Dattatreya and HRD Ministry’s perceived involvement in it. Rohith wanted to pen his calculated poetic, philosophical letter, telling his dear mother, brother, sister and friends that the systemic enmity for the poor and historical untouchables does not end with their enrolment in higher educational institutions. His ambition to become a science writer, learning good English in an environment of hostility does not end the environment of social boycott by state institutions created by the constitution written by his philosophical guru Ambedkar. After all most of these institutions are manned and handled by the persons, who believe in casteist culture and exploitation. The socially boycotted Dalit students along with other organisations have been protesting against the punishment for several days. The university administration could have sensed the gravity and feeling of the young scholars and resolved the issue.

The likes of Barinder Sran and Manish Pandey are going through a trial by fire in just their debut series but Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni feels there is nothing unfair about putting them up against a rampaging Australia as the team needs a “brave” bunch of youngsters going forward. India have already conceded the ongoing ODI series against Australia after going down in the third match in Melbourne as well. The youngsters have not quite made a resounding impact but by Dhoni’s own admission, it is too early to judge them on performance. Sran has been decent in

If you are getting a chance to play for your country, irrespective of the situation, it isn’t unfair. As captain that’s

Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews will appear before police on Tuesday to record a statement in connection with a match-fixing scandal that has led to the suspension of a fast bowling coach. Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) handed Anusha Samaranayake a two-month ban on Monday over his relationship with net bowler Gayan Wishwajith, who allegedly approached national team players to underperform during a test match against West Indies in October. “Sri Lanka Cricket has received several complaints regarding the close acquaintance of Anusha Samaranayake and the main suspect Gayan Wishvanath, who had approached several
national players for the alleged illegal activities of match-fixing,” the SLC said in a statement. “Pursuant to a preliminary inquiry conducted in this regard, Sri Lanka Cricket has decided to suspend Anusha Samaranayake for a period of two months until further investigations are concluded. “Gayan Wishvajith has been totally barred from participating in any capacity whatsoever in Sri Lanka Cricket in the future.” The po-
lice’s Financial Crime Investigation Division (FCID) have already interviewed wicketkeeper Kusal Perera and leading spinner Rangana Herath about an alleged offer of thousands of dollars to engineer a batting collapse for a West Indies victory in the match at Galle. “Mathews is appearing today with regard to the same match-fixing case, in which two people were suspended,” an SLC official told Reuters on condition of anonymity.

Roger Federer has heard enough speculation about match-fixing in tennis. If players are suspected of corruption, he wants names. Federer was responding to reports by BBC and BuzzFeed News published on Monday that tennis authorities have suppressed evidence of match-fixing and overlooked suspected cases involving players ranked in the top 50, including Grand Slam singles and doubles winners. The reports said that none of these players had faced sanctions and more than half would be playing at this year’s Australian Open, which started Monday. The players
weren’t identified by name. “I would love to hear names,” Federer said. “Then at least it’s concrete stuff and you can actually debate about it. Was it the player? Was it the support team? Who was it? Was it before? Was it a doubles player, a singles player? Which Slam?” “It’s super serious and it’s super important to maintain the integrity of our sport,”
Federer added. “So how high up does it go? The higher it goes, the more surprised I would be.” ATP chairman Chris Kermode appeared at a news conference to reject the assertion that match-fixing had gone unchecked in the sport, saying the Tennis Integrity Unit remained “constantly vigilant and not complacent” when it comes to tackling corruption.

Prior to that, the Lancers had also earned a penalty corner, but failed to capitalise it as the goal keeper of Wizards stood

Not staying behind their opponent, the host team drew the scores level before the second quarter’s end with an intelligent deflected field goal by Glenn Turner.

I think it was great that everyone was able to see that and know what he’s capable of.” Maxwell, 27, has the game to toy with the opposition bowling attack when in full flow but his risk-taking style has also

While Maxwell’s Test career is yet to bloom, having averaged just over 13 in his three matches, he played some crucial knocks in the 50-overs format in the last 12 months, including his maiden ton in the format against Sri Lanka at last year’s World Cup. “That’s what we’ve got to keep reiterating to him, that he’s capable of doing that,” added Warner, who also came in for criticism in the early part of his career due to his risk-taking style.

Agency | Canberra Putting the onus on Indian bowlers to stop Australia’s winning juggernaut in the fivematch ODI series, Team Director Ravi Shastri said the Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led side can certainly arrest the slide if the inexperienced bowling line-up learns from its mistakes. Having already lost the series after three successive defeats, the visitors will be playing for pride when they take field at the Manuka Oval in the fourth ODI
on Wednesday. “If they learn from their mistakes they will stop it, yes,” Shastri told reporters when asked if the bowling attack is good enough to prevent a whitewash. Shastri though was critical of the inconsistent bowling attack in the last three games. “They will be disappointed, there is no doubt about that because to win a game one or two bowlers can’t do the job. You need to bowl as a unit. The reason why we did well at the World Cup last year was we had
all the five bowlers firing. “So when that happens then you have a chance of beating the best side in the world. But there are no excuses for bowling wides, so obviously they will be disappointed and they have to put their best foot forward,” said Shastri. “To apply finishing touch in close games, we need to bowl better and be consistent as a bowling unit. MS Dhoni mentioned in the press conference that there were too many easy boundaries.
Glenn Maxwell’s impressive performance against India in the third one-dayer was just a glimpse of the enormous talent the hard-hitting Australia all-rounder possesses, opening batsman David Warner said on Tuesday. Maxwell earned the nickname ‘Big Show’ for his exciting but often irresponsible shot-making and was often criticised for throwing away his wicket while going for boundaries too early in his innings. On Sunday, however, he revived Australia’s run chase with a mature knock of 96 and by the time he was dismissed after an 83ball blitz the scores were tied at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Australia went on to beat India by three wickets and take an unassailable 3-0 lead in

Controversy In Gujarat Over RSS Charge sheet filed against Hardik Man’s Presence In University Function Patel in second sedition case
Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad
Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad
Holding the entire Patidar reservation movement illegal, the Ahmedabad Detection of Crime Branch (DCB) on Monday filed the chargesheet against Hardik Patel and five of his key associates in the second case of sedition. The summary of the chargesheet claims that despite knowing well that community can not be listed under OBC category legally and socially, the accused persons created the movement “to dislodge the democratically elected government” through violence by hatching a criminal conspiracy which amounts to sedition. The chargesheet, having political undertones, claims that accused
The presence of Indresh Kumar, ideologue of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, at the convocation of the North Gujarat university in Patan on Monday, has triggered a controversy. Mr Kumar is suspected to be a mastermind of the case involving the 2007 attack on the Ajmer dargah and RSS being the ideological mentor of the BJP, academicians and political parties have raised a storm of protest, calling it another instance of the “saffronisation of education”. Mr Kumar was the chief guest at the university’s annual convocation, which was presided over by Governor OP Kohli. “What kind of image are you trying to put across?
wanted to “dislodge a democratically elected government,” by waging a war against the state in order to force it to take an “unlawful decision” on reservation for the community. Citing the census of 1931, the chargesheet states “Patel community had a different identity known as kanbhi which was not included in Other Backward Caste (OBC) category.” The chargesheet notes that OBC commission had not recommended the inclusion of Patidar under OBC. The
chargesheet says, “…yet the committee conspired to put the government under pressure and through violence it tried to pressurize the government officials and Gujarat government to take an illegal decision and thus spreading disaffection for the government and with a clear intention of disrespecting the government it shattered the peace of the state and disrupted law and order on the pretext of getting reservation for the Patidar community.”
Students have to take degrees from a tainted person? What impression are you leaving on young minds?” questioned noted academician Dinesh Shukla. “They should have invited a scientist or
an industrialist who could have helped them lay a roadmap for the future,” said Congress spokesman Manish Doshi. “But by inviting him (Kumar), it proves that be it Gujarat or the country, there is
an attempt to saffronise education.” With the invitation for the event described Mr Kumar as a social reformer and defence expert, university authorities have defended the decision. “I have no idea about the blast case or if he’s the accused, but he is an expert in defence affairs and has hold over the topic... I’m also an honorary colonel (of Army?) and I know about his background. That’s why we invited him,’’ said Vice-Chancellor Dr GL Godara.
