Virbhadra Singh quits Union Cabinet

New Delhi, June 26 (ANI): Union Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Minister Virbhadra Singh resigned from the Union Cabinet on Tuesday, following the framing of corruption charges against him for allegedly misusing his office when he was the Himachal Pradesh chief minister in 1989.
He met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Tuesday afternoon and handed over his resignation letter, which was accepted and forwarded with a recommendation to President Pratibha Devisingh Patil.
Singh is expected to address a press conference at his residence later today.
Claiming that he was being framed, Virbhadra Singh said:”Nobody has ever raised a finger ever on my honesty and integrity. When P.K. Dhumal became the Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister, he fabricated the case based on false evidence. I faced the trial and the case was dismissed by the Sessions Court in Shimla.” “Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister PK Dhumal is back to his old antics. I intend to resign to devote full time to fight the case. I intend to catch the bull by horns. I am not afraid of facing trial as my conscience is clear. I will go to court of law and court of people and expose all,” he added.
According to the charges framed against Singh, he allegedly granted favours to industrialists and his conversation was recorded in a audio CD.
In the CD, Virbhadra is allegedly heard speaking with IAS officer Mohinder Lal and some industrialists regarding alleged monetary transactions for them to invest in the state. Charges were framed against the 78-year-old Singh and his wife Pratibha Singh under Section 120 B (conspiracy) of IPC and Sections 7,11 and 13 of Prevention of Corruption Act (PCA) dealing with bribery and criminal misconduct in a 23-year-old case.
The prosecution had filed a charge sheet in 2010. Sources say that Virbhadra had met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress president Sonia Gandhi in May to apprise them of the court verdict.

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights on Torture

Geneva, June 26 : “Twenty-five years ago today, the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman and Degrading Treatment or Punishment came into effect.

Geneva, June 26 : “Twenty-five years ago today, the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman and Degrading Treatment or Punishment came into effect. Since then, 150 States have become party to the Convention.
In so doing, they have pledged to, among other things, criminalise the use of torture, train law enforcement officials on the absolute prohibition against torture and disallow the use of confessions extracted through torture in legal proceedings.
“In the past 25 years, we have made many gains in the fight against torture, and against impunity for torture. Torture is increasingly criminalised in the law books of states and police training curricula frequently incorporate the provisions of the Convention. Yet much remains to be done. The use of torture is far from over. Every day, the various UN bodies that deal with torture, including my Office, continue to receive harrowing reports of torture in detention, whether to force confessions or to intimidate those critical of the powers that be.
“The victims of torture are, more often than not, ordinary people who belong to already vulnerable sectors of society. Perhaps most shockingly of all, even children are not spared.
“On this UN International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, I call on all States to live up to the pledges they have made to prevent, prosecute and punish the use of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment. As the Convention Against Torture states unequivocally, the use of torture is illegal, under any circumstances, with no exceptions. I call on all those States that have still not introduced laws that criminalise torture to do so urgently, and all those that already have such legislation to redouble their efforts to ensure it is fully implemented. There also needs to be a more concerted effort to provide victims and their families with the necessary support and reparations to alleviate, at least slightly, the profound and lasting damage that has been done to them.”

Kids need more physical activities

One should not be surprised to see three to five years old children sitting in benches without any physical movement. Vehicles blocking roads are parked near the schools waiting for the students to drop them home. Most schools do not have assembly complex, parking lot, playground. What are the rules and regulations for opening of schools ? Serious thought should be given to it. Many parents may think that active video games such as Wii FIt Balanceare are an easy solution to getting their kids off the couch, but a new study has found no physical benefits for children from these activities.
The Nintendo Wii game console, which arrived in the United States six years ago, was such an exciting prospect as it offered the chance for children to get exercise without even leaving the house.Tennis was one of the games in the Wii Sports software that came right in the box with the console. This was the progenitor of “exergames”, video games that led to hopes that fitness could turn into irresistible fun. But exergames turn out to be much digital ado about nothing, at least as far as measurable health benefits for children. The study undertaken by the Children’s Nutrition Research Centre at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston was published early this year in Pediatrics, the official journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.Previous studies have shown that adults and children, who play active video games, when encouraged in an ideal laboratory setting, engage in moderate, even vigorous physical activity briefly. The Baylor team wanted to determine what happened when the games were used not in a laboratory, but in actual homes.The participants in this study were children 9 to 12 years old who had a body mass index above the median and whose households did not already have a video game console. Each was given a Wii. Half were randomly assigned to a group that could choose two among the five most physically demanding games that could be found: Active Life: Extreme Challenge; EA Sports Active; Dance Dance Revolution; Wii Fit Plus; and Wii Sports. The other half could choose among the most popular games that are played passively, like Disney Sing It: Pop Hits and Madden NFL 10.They found “no evidence that children receiving the active video games were more active in general, or at any time, than children receiving the inactive video games.”How is it possible that children who play active video games do not emerge well ahead in physical activity?“When you prescribe increased physical activity, overall activity remains the same because the subjects compensate by reducing other physical activities during the day,” said Anthony Barnett, an exercise physiologist who is a consultant at the University of Hong Kong, and one of the authors of the Pediatrics article.Changing sedentary behavior is extremely difficult, says Dr. Charles T. Cappetta, an executive committee member of the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Council on Sports Medicine and Fitness.“It may seem that active video games are an easy solution to getting kids off the couch. But as this study and others show, they do no such thing,” he said.He stated that “live sports” – the kind that are outside of the home, without controllers and television monitors – “remain the gold standard to get cardiovascular benefit.” Findings of renonwed research organisations should be understood well and we should try to implement it in the interest of the students. It is a shocking sight to see children used as a commercial commoditiy and make destroy their physical and mental faculties. The government should control the establishments of institutes without proper infrastructure or the future of the children is bleak.
