Dear all,
Welcome. Today is 2557th Lord Buddha's anniversary.
Naxalites: The Naxalites had attacked Congress led Parivartan Rally members wherein Salwa Judum leader, Mahendra Karma, died after being hit by many rounds. Also, other leader Mudaliar got killed. Besides, PCC chief and his son were abducted by him. Congress had called for Chattisgarh bandh tomorrow. The attack was done today around 3 pm after completion of rally at Sukma.
Salwa Judum was started by Chattisgarh CM during the year 2005 for safeguarding of tribals from Naxalites. The Operation was handed over to Opposition leader, Karma. Since then, he had been their target. The convoy of vehicles was interrupted by armed Naxalites at Sukma on road and firing done by them. When Security personnel retaliated, they couldn't do it much. Mahendra Karma was hit initially whereas Ex-CM, V.C.Shukla, got injured. The search operation had been started with the help of paramilitary forces. The leaders were returning from Sukma to Jagadalpur. Naxalited conducted IED blast along with firing.

SEBI: It had been asked by PM to curb Insider trading. Also, SEBI should take steps regarding incentives for general investors. He told this during SEBI's 25th anniversary yesterday. He stated that the regulator should take steps to enhance transparency. It would strengthen economy. The govt. is also taking steps to grant more powers to SEBI. The regulator needs to be upgraded. If Insider trading is eradicated, investors would be attracted besides domestic savings too. SEBI is working for ease of rules regarding Sovereign wealth fund, University fund, & Pension fund. The diverting of small and medium companies to share markets is praiseworthy. These areas are important for country's economy. He also told about Corporate date market's expansion. He also stated that steps to control fiscal deficit are being taken up.

CBI: The dispute amidst IPS & Original cadre Officials had been brought up to the President. In a letter to him, the Original cadre Officials had demanded permission to speak about agency's autonomy. The issue is about CBI Director's statement wherein he had termed deputation of IPS Officials as correct. The statement was made before the Parliament's Standing Committee. He had stated that whereas IPS officials are sent to original State cadres after their being found of committing irregularity but Original cadre Officials become a burden. Contrary to it, Original cadre Officials believe that fear of committing any mistake in future cannot be cited as justified. Also, Original cadre Officials have dispute regarding service rules. As per it, prior to the year 2000, Original cadre Officials recruited for DSP post were promoted after a span of eight years of service. But after change in rules, it had been made upto twelve years. Also after pressure, the recruitment had been stopped till date. The Original cadre Officials believe that GoM constituted for CBI's autonomy should also listen to their demands. As per them, CBI Director would favour IPS lobby.

With regards,

Amongst three surveys, Gujarat CM, Modi, is leading. India-today & Sea-Voter's National Opinion Poll indicate NDA in strong position whereas UPA govt. would suffer loss of 90 seats. Due to Modi, NDA would be benefited at around 41 seats. CNN IBN & GFK Mod surveys did not figure. But it is stated that 56% people prefer Modi against any other candidate whereas around 29% prefer Rahul Gandhi. As per ABP Nielsun survey, 36% people preferred Modi whereas mere 13% preferred Rahul Gandhi. UPA might incur a loss of around 95 seats. Congress would suffer a loss of 90 seats. NCP would suffer a loss of 03 seats. It is thus clear that BJP would emerge as biggest seat winning party.
UPA's progress report & ad campaign is also done so as to assess the Modi Factor. As per sources, if Modi emerge as PM's candidate, votes might be polarized. It would benefit both Congress & BJP. If Modi stands as PM candidate, BJP would gain around 68 seats.

New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Tuesday criticised the appointment of Defence Secretary Shashi Kant Sharma as the new Comptroller and Auditor General and accused the government of weakening the watchdog institutions by putting "weak" people in the job.

AAP founder member and senior advocate Prashant Bhushan also contended that Sharma's appointment amounted to conflict of interest as he would be auditing defence procurements of the period (2003-2010) during which he held positions responsible for acquisitions in the defence ministry.

Noting that there is no formal system for appointment or selection of CAG of India and government can appoint anybody, Bhushan demanded setting up of a "transparent system" for appointments to such watchdog posts.

"Government is slowly but continuously appointing persons who are weak and who don't have spine to watchdog bodies like CAG, CVC, CIC, Election Commission, which keep an eye on the government," Bhushan said at a press conference here.

This is being done so that these watchdogs don't question the government's decisions, he said and alleged that all such watchdog bodies are being "systematically crippled" by the government.

"After being bitten by the people like present CAG Vinod Rai, the government is taking extra care to see that persons who are appointed to such posts have a conflict of interest in the matters so they are not able to do anything," he said. He claimed that there was "no transparency" in Sharma's appointment nd as a result it is "illegal and unconstitutional" decision which is "liable to be struck down.

The AAP member also questioned the "silence" maintained by the opposition parties over the issue.
