'Lt Governor Doesn't Want To Work On Weekend': AAP Hits Back Amid Health Crisis In Delhi

Kapil Mishra, who along with Health Minister Satyendar Jain had gone to Mr Jung's office this morning, said: "We went to Lt Governor's office today since he sent an urgent fax last night to Manish Sisodia, but he wasn't there as he doesn't work on weekends. We called him too... he's not working today and he doesn't want to talk about work

Health Minister also attacked Mr Jung today in the latest episode of an ongoing tussle between the centre, represented by the L-G, and the Aam Aadmi Party government of Arvind Kejriwal. "The L-G should call me, I am health minister, not the Dy CM....Why can't the L-G go with me to the hospitals meet patients,"Mr Jain said.

Chikungunya in Delhi: Arvind Kejriwal can take a leaf out of Sri Lanka’s battle against Malaria

On visiting many of the Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) Mohalla clinics in Delhi, some surrounded by stinking heaps of garbage next to clogged drains, it becomes instantly clear that a preventive approach to the city’s healthcare is missing. The recent outbreak of chikungunya and the 12 deaths caused by complications triggered due to the vector-borne disease in the capital, is reflective of the shortcoming in the healthcare policy adopted by the Delhi government.

The revolutionary project of opening free Mohalla clinics to provide primary treatment to residents of small neighbourhoods in the city is certainly a giant stride in curative healthcare. The term revolution owes to the real-life challenges faced in operating these clinics and the fact that they attempt to remove the economic disparity in healthcare by way of providing free basic medical care. All this in a city where out-of-pocket health expenditure is as high as 77 percent as per Delhi human Development Report 2013.

But a health policy opted by a government, be it central or state, is expected to address much more than just curative goals. The stakes are even higher when elections are won based on the assurance of providing universal modern healthcare facilities, as the AAP had done.

AAP minister Sandeep Kumar arrested on rape charge, suspended from party

Capping a day of dramatic developments, sacked Delhi Minister Sandeep Kumar was arrested on Saturday night on rape and other charges hours after he surrendered before police following a complaint by a woman, who purportedly figured in an “objectionable” CD with him.

“Kumar was arrested on rape and other charges as per details that emerged during preliminary investigation,” DCP (Outer Delhi) Vikramjeet Singh told PTI.

36-year-old Kumar, who was suspended by AAP, will be produced in a court on Sunday.


The 40-year-old woman’s statement was recorded before a magistrate under Section 164 of CrPC.

After recording statement of the woman and Kumar, he was booked on charges of rape, transmission of material containing sexually explicit act and taking illegal gratification.

In her complaint, the woman alleged that around 11 months ago, she was raped by Kumar when she had gone to his office in Outer Delhi’s Sultanpuri seeking help to obtain a ration card.

She alleged that Kumar had offered her a spiked drink and, when she fell unconscious, she was taken to his house adjacent to the office and raped. The woman alleged that Kumar had told her that he will get a ration card for her and also ensure jobs for her children.

Kumar was booked under IPC sections 376 (rape), 328 (Causing hurt by means of poison with intent to commit an offence), 67A of the IT Act (punishment for publishing or transmitting of material containing sexually explicit act) and Section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act (Public servant taking gratification other than legal remuneration for an official act), said a senior police official.

Earlier in the day, AAP’s Political Affairs Committee suspended the first-time MLA from the party and referred the matter to its disciplinary committee.

Kumar was removed from the council of ministers on August 31 by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal after the CD purportedly showing him in compromising position with the woman surfaced.

The MLA from Sultanpur Majra had surrendered before the investigators at the office of DCP (Outer) in Pitampura where his statement was recorded, senior police officials said.

Kejriwal had tweeted that if the allegations were found to be true, Kumar should be given “exemplary punishment”.

“If woman’s allegations are correct, this is v serious. Strongest exemplary punishment shud be given to Sandeep,” Kejriwal who is in Rome to attend Mother Teresa’s canonisation tweeted.

Drunk Ola drivers gangrape, kill minor in Kolkata: Accused arrested, body recovered

In a horrifying incident, a 12-year-old girl was reportedly gangraped and strangled by two men in an Ola cab in Kolkata on Wednesday. According to reports, the body was found near a canal.

The accused have been arrested and according to police sources, the drivers confessed to picking up the girl from a footpath when they were drunk, CNN-News18 reported.

This is not a solitary incident which brings into question the safety and security of taxis run by cab aggregators like Ola and Uber but this is the first time that such a heinous crime has been reported in Kolkata.

According to Hindustan Times, Shankar Shaw and Guddu Singh told the police that they picked up the minor after they were drunk and were looking for some "merriment."

After killing her, Shaw and Singh threw her body into a canal below the Park Circus flyover. “Around 5 AM we received information that a girl was picked up in a car. From traffic control room the number of the car was established,” Hindustan Times quoted a Kolkata Police officer as saying.

In December 2015, an Ola driver had raped a woman passenger in Delhi, according to this Firstpost article. The driver stopped the vehicle at a deserted location and raped the woman in the car, threatening to kill her if she told anyone.

In May, 2016 a Belgian national was allegedly molested by an Ola cab driver in Delhi.

Uber has been under the scanner since can driver Shiv Kumar Yadav raped a woman executive in Delhi on 5 December. According to the police, the woman had dozed off on the back seat of the car, and she later woke up to find that the car had stopped at a secluded spot. When she tried to raise an alarm, the driver is said to have assaulted and raped her.

On PM's Orders, BJP Assigns Each Rajya Sabha MP A Constituency Lost In 2014

Senators voted 61-20 to convict the country's first female president for illegally using money from state banks to bankroll public spending, marking the end of 13 years of leftist Workers Party rule.

Rousseff's opponents hailed her removal as paving the way for a change of fortunes for Brazil. Her conservative successor, Michel Temer, the former vice president who has run Brazil since her suspension in May, inherits a bitterly divided nation with voters in no mood for the austerity measures needed to heal public finances.

In his first televised address to the nation after being sworn in as president through 2018, Temer called on Brazilians to unite behind him in working to rescue the economy from a fiscal crisis and over 11 percent unemployment.

"This moment is one of hope and recovery of confidence in Brazil. Uncertainty has ended," Temer said in the speech broadcast after his departure for a G20 summit in China.

Until just a few years ago, Brazil was booming economically and its status was rising on the global stage.

The country then slid into its deepest recession in decades, and a graft scandal at state oil company Petrobras tarnished Rousseff's coalition. Millions took to the streets this year to demand her removal, less than two years after she was re-elected.

A string of corruption scandals, led by the Petrobras scheme, has engulfed vast swaths of Brazil's political class and business elites over the past 2-1/2 years.

New Delhi:  The BJP's 52 lawmakers in the Rajya Sabha or House of Elders don't have constituencies to nurture, but BJP Chief Amit Shah has just found them some. 

In another idea straight out of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi handbook for MPs, Mr Shah has told the Elders that they can no more stay away from the sweat and grime of electoral politics that their colleagues in the Lok Sabha go through to win their seats.

So they too will "work in a constituency" - they will each adopt one constituency that the party lost in 2014, and work to win it in 2019. This includes the 12 BJP members of Rajya Sabha who are ministers, they were informed at a special meeting addressed by the party president.

They will be expected to bolster the efforts of the local BJP candidate and take on the winner from a rival party who won the seat and their performance will be assessed - the results of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections will be considered when they are up for re-nomination to the Rajya Sabha.

"The party president said each member should take up one constituency lost in 2014 and work for the party organisation. They will handle the twin task of expanding the party base and its ideology," said Union Minister Prakash Javadekar.

The lawmakers can spend the Members of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme or MPLADs funds allotted to them in the constituency they adopt. The BJP believes this will optimise use of both human resource and the MP funds.

Lawmakers from both houses get 5 crores as MPLAD funds. While Lok Sabha members are expected to spend this money to develop their parliamentary constituencies, Rajya Sabha members represent entire states and so allocate funds to institutions and other work in those states.  

"The whole exercise is to hold Rajya Sabha members accountable like Lok Sabha members are," said a BJP leader.

PM Modi, who has introduced several novel ways to ensure that party leaders demonstrate work on ground in their constituencies, will also address the MPs.

He had reminded the BJP's Lok Sabha MPs during this month's monsoon session that they had not been filing report cards on work done in constituencies regularly.

Centre can even get me killed: Kejriwal

NEW DELHI: Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal ratcheted up his already dramatic war with the PM Modi to a new level on Wednesday. In a 10-minute address to his party released online, Kejriwal accused the BJP-led Centre+ of letting loose terror against the Aam Aadmi Party, alleging they could even get him killed.

Kejriwal asked partymen to get ready for the worst, warning what lay ahead wasn't for the faint-hearted. He cited the serial arrests of AAP MLAs, office-of-profit controversy involving 21 MLAs, suspension of MP Bhagwant Mann and anti-corruption branch's inquiries against deputy CM Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain as part of a 'daman chakra' (cycle of repression).

"Some say that I always blame Modi and that he is not doing anything. But since there are so many departments after us at the same time, there must be some mastermind. Who is this? Amit Shah, Modi ji, PMO? They are all together in this. Amit Shah is getting this done at Modi's behest," said Kejriwal. He said that going by the fallout of all this, it is not logical. "But Modi is so rattled by us and so angry that he is not thinking logically," he claimed. And if the PM was taking decisions for the country in a similar frame of mind, it would be "highly dangerous", he warned. "Is the country in safe hands?"


"People are saying that Modiji is completely stumped, very angry and is not being able to think logically. There is no logic behind getting one MLA arrested every day. Interestingly, all MLAs are being let off in two days. They have not been able to prove anything in a single case. And in all the cases in which orders have come, the court has pulled up the agencies concerned for doing politics. I don't know why Modiji is so rattled," he said.

We can''t keep this mad dog out in open. He will keep biting prople. He must be latched.Rik G

In the theatrical style typical of him, Kejriwal wondered what had rattled the PM - whether it was the "good work" being done by AAP in Delhi and the Centre's failure to deliver on any promise which was drawing adverse comparisons for the BJP; whether the BJP had failed to digest its loss in Delhi; or because of the support AAP was reportedly getting in Goa, Gujarat and Punjab.


"All I can say is that Modi is not thinking. He is very angry and rattled and taking such decisions. This is most worrying for me. If a king starts taking decisions in anger, if a PM does things without thinking, who knows how many other decisions he might have taken in a similar frame of mind!"

India asks High Commission staff to withdraw kids from Pakistan schools

NEW DELHI: India on Monday declared Pakistan a “non-school mission”, asking its officials in the High Commission in Islamabad to withdraw their children from schools there, indicating further deterioration in relations between the two countries.
New Delhi’s advisory has come a few days after the UN-proscribed terrorist and Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed led an anti-India rally to the Indian High Commission, which led to New Delhi expressing its concern about the security of its people posted in Islamabad.
Talking about the advisory, Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Vikas Swarup said, “It is a normal practice for all countries to review staffing and related policies for their diplomatic missions, including in view of prevailing circumstances at those stations.
The advisory means that around 50 schoolgoing children of the Indian staff will study outside Pakistan from this academic session onwards, signalling its “downgrade” to a “non-school mission”.
“With effect from this academic session, officials posted in the High Commission of India in Islamabad have been advised to make arrangements for education of their wards outside Pakistan, till further notice,” Swarup added.
Verbal altercations have been happening between the two countries almost on a daily basis since the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani earlier in July and talks have been put on hold.
On Saturday, Minister of External Affairs Sushma Swaraj issued a statement slamming Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for his “delusional and “dangerous dream of coveting Kashmir”.
Pakistan has been trying to provoke India by labelling Wani as a “popular Kashmiri leader”. Much to India’s chagrin, it then tried to internationalise the Kashmir issue by raising it at the high-level thematic debate on human rights at the United Nations on July 14.
India dismissed Pakistan’s rhetoric as “cynical and misguided”. Despite this rebuff, Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the UN Maleeha Lodhi reiterated Islamabad’s “principled policy of providing moral and diplomatic support to the Kashmiri cause”.
Earlier, during the Kargil Conflict in 1999, the diplomatic relations between the two nuclear-powered neighbours were so strained that they routinely accused each other of kidnapping and beating diplomats.

AAP MLAs arrested, party blames PM Modi for it

On Sunday, the Aam Aadmi Party hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the arrest of its two MLAs, saying this is a “proof” of his frustration. Reacting to the arrests, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said “Modi was sending Delhiites to jail under false cases”. Eleven AAP legislators have been arrested in different cases so far. The AAP national convener also asked why the Prime Minister had diverted entire police against his political opponents rather than protecting women.

The party suffered a shocker with Delhi Police arresting Okhla MLA Amanatullah Khan for allegedly trying to run over a woman with his car and Punjab Police going after Mehrauli MLA Naresh Yadav in an alleged case of sacrilege incident in Malerkotla. “Why is Modi ji not arresting perpetrators of crime against women? It is shameful that Modi ji has diverted the entire police from protecting women to arresting his political opponents,” Kejriwal tweeted. “Two MLAs arrested in a day is a proof his frustration. CBI, ACB, Delhi Police, Punjab Police,” his deputy Manish Sisodia said.

AAP leader Ashutosh said Khan was not even allowed to wear slippers and the police turned all the CCTV cameras towards the ceiling. He also said BJP was scared because of AAP’s rising popularity. “Amanatullah was not even allowed to wear slippers/while arresting all the CCTV cameras were turned towards ceiling by police. This is Modi’s law. He gives a damn to law and evidences. People are watching. AAP’s rising graph has scared Modi (sic),” Ashutosh tweeted.

In a press conference on Saturday, Amanatullah Khan had alleged that the SHO of Jamia Nagar Police station had tutored the woman to name Khan in the case and also released a video to buttress his claim. He also alleged that the woman was in touch with BJP leaders.  Comparing the arrest of Patidars in Gujarat to ones in Delhi, Kejriwal tweeted, “In Gujarat, Anandiben sends Dalits and Patidars to jail under false cases. In Delhi, Modiji sends Delhiites to jail under false cases. Now Delhi and Gujarat will fight (against this) together. ”

“The same Delhi Police also beat the hell out of vols (volunteers) trying to file an FIR against a rapist,” (sic) Kejriwal said, retweeting a tweet of composer Vishal Dadlani, an ardent party supporter. Party leader Ashish Khetan termed the arrest as the darkest time after Emergency. “Another AAP MLA arrested on spurious charges. History will record the Modi rule as the darkest time for democracy post Emergency,” Khetan said.
