  • BBC docu screening attempt: DU bars 2 students for a year

    BBC docu screening attempt: DU bars 2 students for a year

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: Delhi University has barred two students, including a Congress students’ wing leader, for a year for allegedly participating in a screening of the BBC documentary on the Godhra riots on campus, a senior official said.

    During this period, the students will not be allowed to take any university or college or departmental examination, according to the memorandum dated March 10.

    Six other students allegedly involved in the January 27 incident have been given “less strict” punishment, the official said, while indicating that more students might be implicated.

    “We have debarred two students and six students have been given less strict punishment. We have also called the parents of several students. More action is expected in the coming days,” the official told PTI.

    She did not specify what punishment was meted out to the other six students.

    The students barred have been identified as Lokesh Chugh — a PhD scholar in the Anthropology department — and Ravinder of the Law faculty.

    The “confidential” memorandum issued to them mentioned that the documentary — “India: The Modi Question” is “banned”. Chugh, the national secretary of the Congress-affiliated National Students’ Union of India (NSUI), said he was not present at the Arts faculty on the day of the incident and added that the documentary is not banned.

    “…the act of participation in the showing of the banned BBC documentary is an act of indiscipline on the part of Lokesh Chugh,” the memorandum, a copy of which has been accessed by PTI, stated.

    “On the basis of the recommendations of the committee, the disciplinary authority taking cognisance of the above indiscipline exhibited by Shri Lokesh Chugh, decided to impose the penalty of debarring him from taking any university or college or departmental examination or examinations for one year,” the memorandum read.

    A similar memorandum has been issued to Ravinder, the official said.

    The university had formed a seven-member committee to investigate the ruckus outside the Arts faculty building over screening of the BBC documentary.

    A commotion erupted at the university as students attempted to screen the documentary even as police and the varsity administration intervened.

    The police had detained 24 NSUI-affiliated students during its efforts to scuttle the screening.
    Chugh, however, said he was not among the 24 students.

    “During the screening, I was not on campus. I was participating in a TV debate Moreover, the documentary is not banned but blocked,” he said.

  • Syrian conflict enters 13th year amid positive signs of political settlement

    Syrian conflict enters 13th year amid positive signs of political settlement

    [ad_1]

    Damascus: The ongoing Syrian conflict is entering its 13th year with some positive signs that the deadlocked political settlement could see a nudge this year.

    The first three months of 2023 witnessed some crucial developments that raised hopes about a possible detente in the 13th year of the crisis, reports Xinhua news agency.

    The main headline was the success of the Russian and Iranian efforts to break the ice between Syria and Turkey as the relations between the two neighbouring countries have seen much tension over the past 12 years.

    Deputy foreign ministers of Syria, Turkey, Russia, and Iran are set to meet soon to pave the way for the meetings of Syrian and Turkish foreign ministers for the first time since the beginning of the conflict.

    In December last year, the Defence Ministers of the two rivals met in Moscow.

    A possible rapprochement between Syria and Turkey is crucial for peacefully defusing the crisis. Turkey enjoys considerable sway over key rebel groups in northern Syria as it’s one of the opposition backers.

    Another unexpected positive development was the China-backed reconciliation between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Both are regional powerhouses and key players in the Syrian war, with Iran supporting the government of President Bashar al-Assad while Saudi is a key opposition backer.

    On top of that, the devastating earthquakes, which jolted Syria and Turkey on February 6, have pushed Arab countries to shelve former policies toward Damascus, creating the so-called “disaster diplomacy”.

    For the first time in more than a decade, Saudi planes landed in Syrian airports delivering relief aid to the earthquake victims.

    Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry also made an “ice-breaking” visit to Syria after the quake, expressing the most populous Arab country’s support for Syria.

    On Wednesday, the 12th anniversary of the Syrian war, Russian President Vladimir Putin hosted his Syrian counterpart for talks that are believed to touch upon Syrian-Turkish reconciliation.

    Positive signals can be felt domestically, regionally, and globally, said Mohammad Al-Omari, a Syrian political observer and writer.

    “Moscow and Tehran exert efforts to find a mediation formula between Syria and Turkey and reflect that on the political track in Syria. The earthquake’s devastating impact on Syria has provided chances for some countries to communicate and cooperate with Syria,” he told Xinhua.

    The analyst pointed out that the current positive vibe could push the stalemated political talk forward, noting that a comprehensive political solution demands a broader international and regional alignment based on cooperation and stability.

    According to Unicef estimates, 90 per cent of people in Syria live in poverty, most are unable to make ends meet or bring food to the table.

    Families have had their resources depleted, with limited employment opportunities, skyrocketing prices, and a shortage of basic supplies.

  • On completing one year CM Mann promises to turn state into ‘Rangla Punjab’

    On completing one year CM Mann promises to turn state into ‘Rangla Punjab’

    [ad_1]

    Chandigarh: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Thursday listed out the achievements of the AAP government on its first anniversary and promised to accelerate the state’s progress to turn it into ‘Rangla Punjab’.

    He spoke about his government fulfilling the AAP’s guarantees of giving 300 units of free electricity per month, government jobs for the youth, and opening of mohalla clinics, among others.

    “The AAP government, which was elected with expectations and big hopes, completed one year in office. Punjabis created history by giving a huge mandate to the AAP one year ago,” he said.

    In the 2022 Punjab Assembly election, the Aam Aadmi Party won 92 of 117 seats.

    “Within one year, we gave 26,797 government jobs,” Mann said, adding that 87 per cent of households in the state got zero electricity bills.

    The chief minister also said that a decision to regularise the services of 14,000 temporary employees in the education department and 14,000 in other departments has been taken.

    Services of outsourced employees will also be regularised after removing “legal hurdles”, he said.

    On the agriculture front, Mann said his government gave MSP on ‘moong’ crop and Rs 1,500 per acre for promoting direct seeding of rice and also cleared sugarcane dues of Rs 392 crore.

    More than 500 mohalla clinics have been opened in Punjab and 12 to 15 lakh people have availed healthcare services at these facilities, he said and termed it his government’s “big achievement”.

    He further said the AAP government in Punjab will start Schools of Eminence for students.

    Mann also spoke about the sacrilege and accused the previous governments of doing nothing to ensure justice in the matter. He said that his party had promised to deliver justice in cases related to the desecration of the Guru Granth Sahib.

    Referring to the 2015 Kotkapura police firing incident, he said a 7,000-page chargesheet and there was no “political interference” in the probe carried out by the Punjab Police special investigation team.

    “Since we did so much work in the first year, we will now shift to the second gear of progress. Big industrialists are keen to invest in Punjab, they will set up their units and it will create jobs,” the chief minister said.

    “Our motive is not (to form) the next government… Generally, parties start looking at how their next government will be formed… we are saying people have made the government. Our priority is to take our next generation forward and raise the standard of living of the poor,” he said.

    Asserting that his government was working towards turning the state into a ‘Rangla (vibrant) Punjab’, Mann said, “If you have shown faith in me and then keep the faith. I will never break your faith.”

    The chief minister said that his government will start a “very big campaign” against drugs.

    Asserting that his government has zero tolerance towards corruption, claimed that his government took strict action in graft cases. Many former ministers are in jail and action has been taken not only against influential people but also against those who belonged to the ruling AAP, Mann added.

    The AAP was born out of an anti-corruption movement, he said.
