Egypt,LokPal,Juvenile_Board,&6Lit_festival

Dear all,
Welcome.
 
Egyptian Protest: Egyptian President, Mohammad Mursee, had declared emergency in three cities for about a month in view of people killed during demonstration held against the govt. The political crisis had deepened.People have come out in open at Port Saed, Svez, & Ismailia. During past week, forty nine (49) people got killed. The violence continues on fifth day also. People have been occupying the Tahirir Square with police firing tear gas bombs. They claim that the govt. had cheated the protesters. They want "Islamic Brotherhood" to be ousted from power.
It is to note that youths in China had also come out in open at Tian-an-man Square but the protest was curbed violently by the Chinese military junta.
Anti-Corruption rally: Prior to the commencement of the Jantantra rally, UPA chief had stated in a letter to Anna Hazare, the Gandhian & veteran social activist, that the LokPal bill shall be passed during the next session of the Parliament. The said rally would be organised on Wednesday. The LokPal bill had already been passed in the LokSabha. It is already declared ineffectual by the Anna & his supporters with Team Anna being dissolved. The venue of the rally would be Gandhi maidan, Patna. Anna had told that he would raise the issue prior to the General Elections.
India had developed K-15 missile capable of being launched, along with nuclear warhead, from a submarine undersea to hit the target. It was tested for eleventh(11) time at Vishakhapatman from a Bengal Pantoon Platform.
Delhi's Gangrape: Amidst public outcry demanding death penalty for all six accused, the last one who had been claimed as not being adult, was subjected to bone density testing. It had also been found in his school certificate, as was told orally by his family members, that his date of birth is June 4, 1995. Delhi Police would go against the Juvenile Justice Board's decision of considering the school certificate as the basis for determination of age. Now, the case would be subject to JJ Act Section 15. His trial would run as per it. Provision for appealing against the said order may not be considered by the Delhi Police. Many organisations have been demanding to consider him at par with other accused.
It is to note that on Dec. 16, a paramedical girl student was gangraped by six accused in a luxury bus & thrown outside bare along with his boy friend. Except the one, all others trial is going on in a Fast track Court.
The sixth Jaipur Literature Festival's had been in controversy over Dalit issues. After Prof. K.Illaiah, who spoke on "God as a political philosopher; Buddha's challenge to Brahminism" evoked it, Professor Ashish Nandi of CSDS claimed that SC/ST/OBC had been the most corrupt in the society. As per Prof. K.Illaiah, he had not been along with bad motive behind his bad statement. As per him, Buddhism is better as compared to Hinduism as conversion grants equal rights like Hindus. It is to note that he is Head of Maulana Azad Urdu University, Hyderabad. He had authored two books viz. Why I'm not a Hindu & God as a political philosopher. His statement were opposed by Literateur & Cine writer, Javed Akhtar, and Ajay Nevaria along with Nirupma Dutta. The next Professor Nandi is brother of Pritish Nandy, who had been a media person. His statement had made people lodge an FIR against organisers at Ashok Nagar's Police Station by Rajasthan's social classes. It is also a case of media engulfing the literature world.
