Sohrabuddin Sheikh Fake Encounter Case

New Delhi, Sep. 27 (ANI): Union Law and Justice Minister Salman Khurshid on Thursday said the government respects the Supreme Court’s judgment of rejecting the Central Bureau of Investigation’s (CBI) plea to cancel the bail of former Gujarat Home Minister Amit Shah in connection with the 2005 Sohrabuddin Sheikh Fake Encounter Case.

New Delhi, Sep. 27 (ANI): Union Law and Justice Minister Salman Khurshid on Thursday said the government respects the Supreme Court’s judgment of rejecting the Central Bureau of Investigation’s (CBI) plea to cancel the bail of former Gujarat Home Minister Amit Shah in connection with the 2005 Sohrabuddin Sheikh Fake Encounter Case.
Interacting with reporters here, Khurshid said: “We respect the Supreme Court’s decision. If the Court has not yielded to some of CBI’s arguments, that’s the right of the Court. I shall discuss it further after going through the judgment.”
Earlier, the Supreme Court rejected the CBI’s plea for cancellation of Amit Shah’s bail, and also allowed him to travel to Gujarat.
The CBI had argued that Shah might try to influence witnesses in the case.
The apex court, however, ordered the shifting of the trial to Mumbai, one of the key demands of the investigating agency.
Sohrabuddin and his wife Kauser Bi were allegedly abducted by Gujarat’s Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) from Hyderabad and killed in a fake encounter near Gandhinagar in November 2005.
Shah was arrested by the CBI on July 25, 2010 and had spent over three months in Sabarmati Jail in Ahmedabad. He had to quit the Modi Government in July last year after having been slapped with kidnapping and murder charges in the fake encounter killing.
The CBI, however, has filed a charge-sheet against Shah in the Tulsiram Prajapati case.
The CBI had said that Prajapati was a witness in the Sohrabuddin fake encounter case, and his killing was part of a larger conspiracy in which Shah, as the then head of the state administration, was involved.

New Delhi, Sep 27 : The Minister for Environment and Forests, Smt. Jayanthi Natarajan has ordered that an immediate investigation be conducted into this incident by a team from the Wildlife Crime Control Bureau. She has desired that the investigation should be completed within one week, and the perpetrators brought to justice. The Minister has also written to Assam Chief Minister Shri Tarun Gogoi asking for all assistance in this regard and to prevent future incidents.
The Minister said “I am shocked and distressed by the callous exploitation by unscrupulous poachers of the natural disaster of floods and of helpless animals fleeing to find safe shelter. I am determined to ensure that these criminals are brought to justice and that such incidents do not recur in future”.
In view of the reports of poaching of rhino horn as a result of poachers targeting rhinos fleeing the flooded areas of Kaziranga National Park requiring immediate action, the Ministry of Environment & Forests has constituted a team of officers to inquire into the reported killings of Rhinos by poachers in Assam. The team consists of Shri C. Behra, Regional Deputy Director, Eastern Region, Kolkata; Shri A.K. Jha, Assistant Director (Intelligence), BHQ, Delhi; Shri L. Kuruvilla, Assistant Director, SR, Chennai; and Shri K.K. Sarma, Wildlife Inspector, NR, Delhi.
The team will immediately reach the spot to start investigations. The team will also seek assistance from the local agencies in detailed investigation of the case and conduct inter-agency coordination to trace the culprits and bust the networks involved.

Irked by the acts of the poachers, the Paresh Barua led anti-talk faction of ULFA condemned it and accused the Tarun Gogoi government of failing to protect the heritage of Assam while All Assam Students Union (AASU), Asom Jatiyatabadi Yuba Chatra Parishad and Krishak Mukti Sangram Parishad blocked the National Highway 37 in protest against the killing rhinos. They also burnt the effigies of chief minister Tarun Gogoi and state forest minister Rockybul Hussain.
“The state government and its Forest department have failed to protect the rhinos and now it is the duty of the people to take necessary steps to protect the animals,” a statement e-mailed by ULFA said.
So far 15 rhinos have been killed in Assam this year.
It may be recalled here that on Wednesday poachers had chopped off a rhino’s horn and also its right ear as the animal struggled after being shot. The animal had died only at around 5 pm.
Yesterday’s incident occurred near the fame Kaziranga National Park in Assam. The animal was a full grown female rhino.
On September 16, the poachers had killed a rhino for its horn in Assam.

Motilal Nehru

Alok Deshwal ,Deputy Director (Media & Communication) Motilal Nehru (6th May, 1861 – 6th February, 1931) was one of the most eminent figures of modern India. He was associated with the Indian National Congress in its early years and after he was elected to the Provincial Legislative Council in 1910 his sphere of public activity […]

Alok Deshwal ,Deputy Director (Media & Communication)
Motilal Nehru (6th May, 1861 – 6th February, 1931) was one of the most eminent figures of modern India. He was associated with the Indian National Congress in its early years and after he was elected to the Provincial Legislative Council in 1910 his sphere of public activity both inside and outside the legislature increased considerably.
He supported the Home Rule Movement started by Smt. Annie Besant and was elected President of the Allahabad branch of the Home Rule League.
Shri Motilal Nehru was appointed a member of the Congress Enquiry Committee to enquire into the events of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. This brought him into close contact with Mahatma Gandhi. He made a forceful Presidential address before the annual session of the Indian National Congress held in Amritsar in 1919 highlighting the Jallianwala Bagh incident.
He played a prominent role in the non-cooperation movement led by Mahatma Gandhi in 1921.
The decision to participate in the movement brought about a radical change in the lifestyle of Shri Motilal Nehru and he totally gave up the western way of living and started wearing simple khadi clothes which had become the symbol of Gandhian nationalism in India. He also gave up his legal practice at the call of the Mahatma.
Shri Motilal Nehru was a member of the committee which prepared the report on the national situation after the suspension of the non-cooperation movement and this report is a detailed and illuminating account of the non-cooperation movement and the manner in which the British Government sought to crush it. It is a valuable record of a very significant phase of the freedom movement in India.
With the collapse of the non-cooperation movement in 1922, it was necessary that a new direction be given to the popular desire for freedom from the British rule. Shri Motilal Nehru, in association with Shri C.R. Das and other nationalist leaders, met this need by organising the Swaraj Party.
Shri Motilal Nehru made a pioneering attempt to draft a Constitution for free India, with the provision of adult franchise.
The report prepared on the initiative of a sub-committee under the chairmanship of Shri Motilal Nehru constituted by the All Parties Conference came to be known as the Nehru Report which was released by the All India Congress Committee in 1928. This Report represented a pioneering effort by the nationalist leadership under the able guidance of Shri Motilal Nehru to create a constitutional design for an independent and democratic India and it anticipated the key features of the Constitution prepared in 1950 after the Independence of India.
Shri Motilal Nehru presided over the Calcutta Congress in December 1928 and his presidential speech was a clarion call for unity among the different nationalist groups and this Congress gave one year to the British to accept the demand of Dominion Status. His role in institution building – as Congress President in 1928 and as an elected legislator – are especially relevant in today’s multi-party parliamentary democracy.
The years 1929-1931 saw a very crucial phase of the Indian freedom struggle in which Shri Motilal Nehru played a significant role.
The Indian National Congress passed the Complete Independence resolution at its Lahore session in December 1929 followed by a mass Civil Disobedience Movement. Despite his ill health Shri Motilal Nehru travelled to Jambusar in Gujarat to demonstrate his moral support for the salt satyagraha initiated by Gandhiji.
The popular movement spread all over the country. As a result, most Congress leaders and workers were put in jail. Shri Motilal Nehru had to shoulder the responsibility of the Congress President till he was also arrested on 30 June and jailed. His health further deteriorated in jail. In view of his ill health he was released on 8 September 1930, a few months before he passed away on 6 February 1931.
Shri Motilal Nehru did not live to see the day when India became free but the leading role which he played in the national politics during the early stages of the Gandhian movement ensured that British rule over India would come to an end before long.
He had grown up as an admirer of British values and institutions but as the exploitative character of the British rule unfolded before his eyes he became a strong adversary of the Raj. He plunged into the struggle for freedom with a rare sense of commitment and love for his country. Shri Motilal Nehru, occupies a very special place in the history of the struggle for freedom in India.
He was a stalwart of the freedom struggle in more ways than one. As draftsman of the Nehru Report of 1928 he laid the foundation stone for a democratic system with adult suffrage, cultural and religious rights for all. In celebrating his memory we also rededicate ourselves to a common legacy created through a selfless public life.
