Tunisians elect first president
23112014
Tunisians vote on Sunday in their first presidential election since the 2011 revolution that sparked the Arab Spring, a ballot set to round off an often fraught transition to democracy.
Among the 27 candidates, the hot favourite is former premier Beji Caid Essebsi, an 87-year-old veteran whose anti-Islamist Nidaa Tounes party won parliamentary elections last month.
Others vying for the presidency include outgoing President Moncef Marzouki, several ministers who served under former dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, leftwinger Hamma Hammami, business magnate Slim Riahi and a lone woman, magistrate Kalthoum Kannou.
Some 5.3 million people are eligible to cast ballots, with tens of thousands of police and troops deployed to guarantee security amid fears Islamist militants might seek to disrupt voting.
In most of the country, polls open at 8:00 am (0700 GMT) and close 10 hours later.
However, voting will be limited to only five hours in some 50 localities close to the Algerian border, where armed groups are active.
A run-off vote will be held at the end of December if no one secures an absolute majority.
Until the revolution, Tunisia knew only two presidents — Habib Bourguiba, the “father of independence” from France in 1956, and Ben Ali, who deposed him in a 1987 coup.
To prevent another dictatorship, presidential powers have been restricted under a new constitution, with executive prerogatives transferred to a premier drawn from parliament’s top party.
Essebsi has run on a campaign of “state prestige”, a slogan with wide appeal to Tunisians anxious for an end to instability.
Supporters argue only he can stand up to the Islamists who first held power in the post-Ben Ali era, but critics charge he is out to restore the old regime, having served under both former presidents.
Marzouki has been hammering home the argument that he is the only leader capable of preserving the gains of the uprising, and has said today’s vote is the “last stand” for the old guard.
Moderate Islamist party Ennahda, which came second in the legislative election, has not put up a candidate and has invited its members “to elect a president who will guarantee democracy”.
Speculation has been rife on the make-up of a new government and the possibility of a coalition between Nidaa Tounes and Ennahda in spite of their fundamental differences.

Chattisgarh health minister must be booked for deaths due to negligence
23112014
Aam Aadmi Party demands registration of a criminal case against Chattisgarh health minister for having caused death of atleast 13 women by negligence, and nearly 150 more are still undergoing treatment.
The party also demands that the state’s Raman Singh government should immediately make the entire inquiry report public on how medicines with contents of rat poison were supplied to the medical camps at Bilaspur, and given to the victims.
AAP team led by party’s chief spokesperson Yogendra Yadav and colleagues from the state unit in their on-the-spot assessment has found that the state government acted with extreme negligence, and poor women were treated like guinea pigs by a negligent health regime in the state.
It is extremely surprising that the BJP leadership has allowed an insensitive individual like Mr Amar Agrawal to continue as health minister even two weeks after the terrible incident, particularly after he has been changing his statements to falsely shift blame on the doctors.
The Chattisgarh health minister is neither repentant nor has he assured that such incidents will not be repeated in future.
The probe report has nailed the lies of the state government, which had initially stated that deaths of women had taken place due to negligence of doctors who conducted the sterilisation surgeries earlier this month.
The state government must also reveal whether it has stopped the supplies from the pharmaceutical company which has claimed the lives of innocent women, and whether the state BJP leadership has any link with this company.
Local residents of Bilaspur have informed the AAP leadership that atleast nine women are on ventilators and are struggling for their lives. It is being apprehended that the number of casualties may go up since the medical relief for those still admitted in hospitals due to botched up sterilisation surgeries is far from adequate.
There are many unanswered questions even after two weeks of the man-made tragedy and till the Rama Singh government wakes up from its slumber and heads are rolled, the scope for improvement and corrective action appears remote.

FM Jaitley must tell what he means by people like him don’t need LPG subsidy
23112014
From: Media Cell AAP <mediacellaap@gmail.com> Sat, 22 Nov ’14 7:17p
To: undisclosed-recipients:;
Show full Headers
- Mr Arun Jaitley must clarify on what he means by people like him don’t need LPG subsidy
- FM’s statement is an indication that the BJP govt is planning to withdraw LPG subsidy
The Aam Aadmi Party demands that Finance Minister Arun Jaitley should give a clarification on his statement on withdrawal of LPG cylinder subsidy.
The Finance Minister has been quoted in the media as saying that “people like him” do not need subsidy and therefore subsidy will be given only to the poor.
This indicates that the government is planning to withdraw LPG subsidy and the Finance Minister is trying to justify the move in advance.
The Aam Aadmi Party demands that Mr Jaitley should clarify what he meant by “people like him”, because he’s the richest minister in the union cabinet with assets on more than Rs 70 crore.
The government must make it clear what will the new income bracket, which will get the subsidy benefit. We warn the government that if the lower middle class is deprived of the benefit, the Aam Aadmi Party will have to take the issue to the streets.
While AAP feels that “people like Mr. Jaitley” with assets of more than Rs 70 crore or a monthly income of more than Rs 10 lakh really do not need subsidy and the government should first ensure that their diesel guzzling SUVs do not run on subsidized diesel.
Regards.

It is Six months since BJP government came to power and I had not seen
a single LINE of Jaitley supporting Economic Policies for 1000m Poor
or may be 1100m poor – he himself in PTI interview admitted to that a
person earning Rs.4,80,000 annual income doesn’t save anything. I
don’t thing even 100-150m people in India belong to $8,000 annual
income plus households – by 2019 this shall Shrink to 50m-100m earning
$12,000. Rest of it Poor group shall expand to 1150m to 1200m.

BJP govt must stop its immature & amateur interference in school education

The BJP central government must give up its immature and amateur interference in school education since such mid-year tampering will cause immense harm to the students.
The irresponsible utterances of the union human resources development minister make it clear that the BJP government lacks the necessary competence and seriousness required to initiate fresh education reforms.
The central government must allay the fears of students and their parents immediately on the issue of imposition of an extra language when merely three months are left for the final examination and also whether class X exams will be made mandatory for the CBSE students.
The Aam Aadmi Party is of the categorical view that no proposal can be implemented once an academic session has begun and the decision of the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan board of directors to replace German with Sanskrit for students of classes VI-VIII at this final juncture is nothing short of playing with the careers of nearly 70,000 students.
It is extremely unfortunate that the HRD minister is trying to give a German Vs Sanskrit narrow twist to the wider issue of three language formula under the National Curriculum Framework.
A balance needs to be struck between classical Indian languages and the growing aspiration among students to learn foreign languages. The decision to impose any particular language and discontinue other languages is a retrograde move, which needs to be discoraged.
The HRD minister Ms Smriti Irani has displayed a complete ignorance of facts by stating that teaching German in schools is unconstitutional. Either she has not been briefed properly by her ministry officials or she is deliberately misleading the country by her misinterpretation of the Constitution.
The government has a complete team of senior law officers whose services can be utilised by the HRD minister to get a proper understanding of the Constitution and interpretation of the relevant schedules dealing with languages taught in India.
The BJP government is playing a dangerous game with school education by trying to impose and rush through ill-thought reforms without consulting experts in the field of education. Such a move could spell disaster for the country.
The AAP demands that the central government must immediately stop its knee jerk announcements on school education and should start consultations to build a national consensus on fresh reforms in education. (ENDS)
