New Delhi, Aug 22 (ANI): Union Coal Minister Sriprakash Jaiswal on Wednesday defended Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh over the Comptroller and Auditor General’s (CAG) report on coal block allocations, and accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of not allowing a debate to take place in the Parliament on the issue.
Jaiswal alleged that every single individual has the right to use Parliament for politics, but added that it should not to be used only for political agenda.
“Everyone has the right to use Parliament for politics, but it should not be used only to further political agendas. The opposition knows that if a debate takes place, it will be exposed,” he said.
Jaiswal said that the main objective of the Prime Minister at the time was to take steps to help the Indian economy to grow, and not just meet the demand for coal.
“His decisions led to a high growth rate at a time when there was a huge recession in the U.S.,” he added. Jaiswal further said the various state governments were consulted and their approval was taken for allocation of all coal blocks. “If the bidding process had been initiated, there would have been greater transparency and our government tried to introduce this. But Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha, West Bengal, all the state governments, aggressively opposed this because they said higher coal costs would hit industrial development in their states,” he added. Senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley earlier in the day demanded the Prime Minister’s resignation over the CAG report on coal block allocations. He said the ongoing standoff that has paralyzed the parliamentary proceedings can be brought to an end if Dr. Manmohan Singh takes moral responsibility and acts accordingly.

Guwahati, Aug 22: North East Students Organisation (NESO) will put up serious issues threatening the region during its consultative meeting tomorrow.
Issues on the illegal immigrants in the north east region, the prolonging fencing process of the government of India along the Indo-Bangla border and a policy to ensure the safety of the north east people in the mainland India.
S Artax, advisor to NESO said that the government of India must ensure to check the influx of foreigners illegally in the north east region. Artax said the need to have a comprehensive policy to detect and deport the illegal immigrants from the north east region should be made by the government of India. “ These are the issues we will be seriously deliberating tomorrow here,” said the advisor of North East Students Organisation.
Artax then wonder as to how the government of India has been taking so long time to complete the fencing work in the Indo-Bangla border when the same could be done in the Indo-Pakistan border within a short period. “There are so many porous areas in the Indo Bangla border which have been serving as gate-ways for illegal immigrants, said the NESO advisor.
Artax also said based on the reports which stated that over 80 thousand Bangladeshi nationals coming to India with valid documents are now missing in the country within three years. “The government of India must find a strategy to find out these people,” asserted the NESO advisor.
Meanwhile, the units of NESO from Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Tripura and Arunachal Pradesh have arrived in Guwahati this evening and they are all set to take up the issues threatening the North Eastern region.

Meanwhile, intensive search has been going on by boarding authority as well as by the guardians of the missing students.
A search party said that till now they have no clue regarding the whereabouts of the four students. They suspect that the incident is a run-away case. However, they are not fully certain on this theory. But it is unlikely a case of abduction, said one of the men searching for the missing boys.

Aizawl, Aug 22 NNN: In view of the assembly election due in early next year, Mizoram Peoples’ Forum (MPF), the Church sponsored election watchdog in Mizoram has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with major political parties in Mizoram so that free and fair elections could be held.
The parties which signed an MoU with the state election watchdog are Mizoram Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC), Mizo Peoples Concention (MPC), Zoram National Party (ZNP), Mizo National Front (MNF) and the BJP for co-operation at Synod Committee Hall in Aizawl.
As many as 27 points have been made today for the political parties to abide. Among the 27 points, one is that the political parties should only make an election manifesto which they can implement. If any political party violates any one of the 27 points, the MPF will “invalid” that party.
The programme today was presided over by the president of MPF Rev.Thangzauva, Synod Moderator.
All the political party representatives attended the meeting.
Some cooperation rules are that every party will try their best to have free and fair election; only the citizens of India should cast their votes; no political party should drop the voters to their polling stations by means of a vehicle; the MPF will check whether any one indulges in demanding money to the candidates and to the political parties; house to house campaign is allowed till 10 days before the election; “selling and buying” of votes are strictly prohibited and no candidate should distribute some material like silpaulin, Jersy, football, mobile handset, government schemes etc.; no protest rally should be organised 10 days before the election; a fixed number of banners, flags, posters are to be used by the parties.
It can be noted that in the previous elections too, the Mizoram Peoples Forum (MPF) had acted as a watchdog in which the main theme was to prevent feasting which was successful.
The MPF is very influential and the people in the state have high regard for the Forum for its impartiality.

State Government decision to preserve 200 acres of land at Lamphelpat to restore the area to its original form, that is lake, will go a long way in controlling frequently occurring flood at Lamphel areas. Nambul river when it is in spate over flows water towards Lamphel. Consequently the area remains under the water for one month or more during the rainy season. Until the level of Nambul river recedes the flood water cannot be drained out. By adding a lake at Lamphel the flood water can be stored for use later on. The flood water thus reserved in the dugout lake can be used later on during the dry season. Water accumulated at Lamphel area is brown in colour. It might be caused by the colour of the soil. But the water is safe for consumption. Cows and horses grazing at Lamphel area drink Lamphel water. But nothing happens to these animals. Therefore by adding water treatment plant near the proposed lake the water collected at the artificial lake can be supplied to the consumers for use. Too many residents of Thangmeiband and Uripok constituencies lying adjacent to Lamphel are not getting drinking water facilities as Singda water cannot reach these areas. Chief Minister O. Ibobi having ruled the state continuously for two terms, which is capped by addition of one more term, has been able to take up many ambitious projects in Manipur. When one ventures out to different places of the state too many massive constructions are seen standing. Supportive Government at the centre extended whatever help Ibobi sought. Capitol project at Chingmeirong would not have come up at all if he did not demand. He can think big. His two terms plus beginning of another term is synonymous with development. Yet more need to be done to recover the lost period. Now the people of the state are beginning to feel the delightment of having a stable Government. Appreciation goes to the voters of the state, who expressed through the secret ballot their desire of having a stable Government in Manipur. The idea of digging a lake at Lamphel will change the whole concept of development in Manipur. Drought like situation, which descended in Manipur, has revealed the need for having too many water reservoirs. Even the Kangla moat was deepened to increase water storage capacity. Thangapat at Sagolband, which hosts annual Hiyang lamjel every year, too was not only deepened but also widened. Similar lake should be given to all the districts of the state. The creator of the world knew the importance of having vast areas of water reservoir. So when the earth was created only one fourth of the space was kept as land and the rest as sea. On the contrary we are allowing lakes to disappear. This will threaten the existence of living things on the earth. Hence the need for creating more lakes. The lake being dug out at Lamphel can be used for taking up pisiculture. That will enhance fish production in the state. All good things are to be appreciated. Go ahead.
