NAPM condemns killings in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh
Ensure that those entrusted with responsibility of maintaining the law and order do not misuse it !
10th April 2015, New Delhi: NAPM is outraged at the level of bloodshed perpetuated by the police machinery involving the killings of 5 under-trials in Nalagonda (Telangana) and encounter of over 20 woodcutters in the Seshachalam forests in AP. Media reports, evidences and even common sense not only contradict police versions of both incidents but also suggest that these are planned custodial killings and cold-blooded massacres at the behest of state police.
The first incident took place when 5 under-trials, the alleged ‘SIMI’ activists, were being transported from Warangle Jail to a Hyderabad court by the police for a hearing wherein the judgment was to be pronounced soon. This cannot just be a coincident but a patterned act of state violence against people of a particular religion in the name of ‘fighting terrorism’, which must be strongly condemned. Hashimpura, Batla house, Ishrat Jahan case, and many other incidents are painful reminders of similar targeted violence facilitated by the culture of impunity enjoyed by the police and state institutions.
The second incident involving killing of 20 woodcutter from Tamil Nadu, the alleged ‘smugglers’, by the newly formed Red-Sanders Anti Smuggling taskforce of AP in a highly suspicious situation too raises many questions. Media reports suggest that out of 20, at least 7 were picked up by the police just a day before. Further, bullet injuries on face, head and the chest contradict police’s version that they “randomly fired upon the smugglers”. Taking cognizance, the NHRC too has called it a serious violation of human rights.
A protest outside the Andhra and Telangana Bhawan was held today in Delhi along with protests all across the country to demand immediate and impartial CBI investigation as well as judicial probes in time-bound and transparent manner into both cases. We also demand that cases of unnatural death must be filed immediately. Security of witnesses must be ensured. Reparation efforts for the families of victims must be taken. We strongly feel that the issue of impunity in extra-judicial and rampant custodial killings in India is serious violations of rights and threat to ideals of secularism and equality of our democracy. We need stronger and more accountable mechanisms to ensure that those who are entrusted with responsibility of maintaining the law and order do not misuse it.

China hits back at US President

Apr 11
China hits back Friday at US President Barack Obama’s criticism of Chinese construction in the disputed South China Sea, arguing that it is Washington that has greater military muscle. The Chinese foreign ministry’s sharp reply came a day after Mr. Obama warned that Beijing is using its sheer size and muscle to force countries into subordinate positions, amid reports of controversial Chinese land reclamation efforts.
Beijing asserts sovereignty over most of the South China Sea, including areas near the coasts of other states, using a line that first appeared on Chinese maps in the 1940s. The Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan all have overlapping claims.

Apurvi Chandela Wins India’s Second Olympic Quota Place at the Changwon Shooting World Cup
New Delhi, 11 April 2015: Commonwealth Games Gold Medalist Apurvi Chandela, won India’s second Rio Olympics quota place today after winning the Bronze medal in the Women’s 10m Air Rifle event at the ongoing Shooting World Cup (Rifle/Pistol) in Changwon, Korea. Apurvi shot a total of 185.6 in the Finals, to finish behind Pejcic Snjezana of Croatia who won Gold and Ivana Maksimovic of Serbia, who won the Silver medal. Pejcic eventually finished with a score of 209.1 to Ivana’s 207.7 at the end of the Gold medal match up. There were three Olympic quota places to be bagged in the event.
“A World Cup medal was something that I have been aiming for a long time, and now that I have it, it really makes e very happy. What adds on to the happiness is winning the second quota place for my country for the Rio Olympics,” said an elated Apurvi after winning her medal today.
Talking about her plans going forward she further added, “ This win has helped me feel more confident towards my preparation for the Rio Olympics and I will work towards securing more podium finishes in the competitions I participate in this year. I would also like to thank the NRAI for all the support it has given me to achieve this quota place and medal”
“We are delighted that Apurvi has won India’s second Olympic quota place. She has led the charge for the Indian contingent from the front, being the fighter that she is. Today I reflect back on the day before the 2014 Commonwealth Games finals, where Apurvi tore her ligament and was in acute pain and yet finished with a near perfect score. This was clear evidence of her mental and physical strength which is starting to bear fruit now. We wish her all the best an hope to see her returning with many more accolades in the future,” said Mr. Raninder Singh, President, NRAI.
Men’s Pistol ace, Jitu Rai had won India’s first Olympic quota place at the Shooting World Championships in Granada, Spain last year, when he won Silver in the 50m Free Pistol event. Each country can win a maximum of 30 quota places from a total of 15 shooting disciplines (including shotgun events), two each from each discipline.

Kiren Rijiju on extension of AFSPA in Arunachal Pradesh
Following is the Statement to the Press made by Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Shri Kiren Rijiju on extension of AFSPA in Arunachal Pradesh: -
“The news item published in the local media states that the State Government of Arunachal Pradesh and some Organizations have claimed that they are shocked by the sudden invocation of the AFSPA in the State of Arunachal Pradesh.
In this regard it is clarified that the twenty km border belt between Assam and Arunachal Pradesh was already declared a Disturbed Area since long time due to various terrorist and insurgent groups operating in Assam. Of late, it has been observed that splinter groups of insurgents, particularly NDFB(S) and ULFA (I) have not only been using Arunachal Pradesh as a transit to Myanmar but also taking sanctuary in the bordering districts of the State with Assam beyond the 20 km belt declared disturbed along the border with Assam and as a result, Security Forces have been finding it increasingly difficult to act against them, even if they know their whereabouts.
Declaration of the districts bordering Assam, in Arunachal Pradesh, as Disturbed has been made with the sole purpose of enabling the Forces to chase and arrest these terrorists and insurgents irrespective of the distance they cover in Arunachal Pradesh for a limited period till these violent Assam based groups are neutralised. Reading anything about this measure beyond this is improper and unfortunate.
The State government does not seem to be comfortable with this measure while at the same time the State police has not proved to be effective in dealing with these terrorists. Under the circumstances, the Ministry of Home Affairs is left with no alternative but to ask the State government as to what alternative would they like so that the national and internal security is not compromised and innocent peace loving citizens of Arunachal are not unnecessarily affected.
I have directed the concerned officials of my Ministry to obtain such alternative from the Government of Arunachal Pradesh. If the State Government feels that it can effectively deal with the terrorists on its own and is not in favour of Central intervention then Ministry of Home Affairs will immediately withdraw this extension of AFSPA along with the additional forces deployed in those affected areas.”

Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard & fiance Abraham Williams tied the knot
Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard is now officially off the market after she and fiance Abraham Williams tied the knot Thursday at a historic site in Kahaluu.
Gabbard, 33, exchanged vows with Williams, 26, in a traditional Hindu ceremony — with a Brahmin acting as the officiant – but with a Hawaiian twist since they said their “I do’s” in Hawaii.
Gabbard wedding, at a historic site on the island of Oahu, in a traditional Hindu ceremony performed by a Brahmin in both Sanskrit and English. Gabbard in her personally barefoot and in a red silk sari and prayers, live music and a meat-free dinner for nearly 300 guests, not including her fellow kamaʻaina President Obama, who was invited but is currently busy with his job running the country.
“It’s going to be a Hawaiian-style Hindu wedding,” Gabbard told the magazine in a candid interview that’s in stark contrast to her previous stance on her relationship status updates in the digital era.
“Both Abraham and I are generally kind of private people,” the 33-year-old combat veteran told her hometown paper in February after spilling the beans on how she met her 26-year-old fiance (he shot video for her political campaign and proposed less than a year after they started dating last April). When news of their engagement broke in January, Gabbard wouldn’t even reveal Williams’s name.
But now with the wedding (no honeymoon, she’s got to get back to work) happening, Gabbard has been happily spilling the deets, like her suspicion that Williams, who is also a musician, will surprise her with a song at their ceremony.
“He’s my best friend, my surfing buddy and my partner in everything,” said Gabbard, who will head back to Washington the Monday after the wedding.

Obama & Castro finally shake hands during historic meet

Obama shook hands with Cuban President Raul Castro at a summit in Panama on Friday. This now sets the stage for a historic Saturday meeting between the pair, as the two countries seek to re-establish diplomatic relations.
Obama and Castro encountered each other in the midst of other foreign leaders at the Summit of the Americas, which is currently being held in Panama City. Photographs and videos from the event showed the two shaking hands as they greeted one another as well as nodding as they spoke.
Leaders of the United States and Cuba have rarely spoken over the past 50 or so years because of an American embargo implemented against Havana, which was put in place shortly after Fidel Castro led a socialist revolution in the 1950s. However, last year, the two sides announced that they would look to mend their strained relationship.

Aam Aadmi Party statement on Union FINANCE Minister’s suggestion to discourage Public Interest Litigations (PILs) :
Close on the heels of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s veiled suggestion to the country’s top judiciary to be tough on civil right activists and NGOs, FINANCE Minister Arun Jaitley has now expounded another anti-people idea to discourage activists seeking to bring to light the truth of government and corporate linkage through PILs.
The suggestion of the FINANCE Minister to make it mandatory for those filing PILs against the government on development projects to declare their source of funds is a move in sync with the Modi government’s continuous efforts to curb voices against the anti-people policies of the government.
While Modi sought to muzzle the right thinking voices in the country against the increasing radical tendencies by suggesting to the judiciary to be harsh on them, theFINANCE Minister through his suggestion has send in a feeler to all PIL activists to shun the path of seeking truth or else they are sure to be harassed with his department retaliating with full vengeance.
It should be noted that BJP under Modi came to power on the anti-corruption plank pioneered by the civil society activists and major scams like the coal scam, 2G spectrum scam and many other came to light and was pursued to bring the culprits to book through the PIL and many right thinking citizens contributed selflessly to expose the corrupt syndicate of the government and corporate.
It seems that the government under Modi foresees a similar fate like that of UPA and hence are making enough arrangements in advance to make themselves immune to legal action and punishments.
Apart from shunting voices against the government, the Modi-Jaitley duo through their suggestion also seek to protest the corrupt practices of the corporate. Any such move will fought to the end by the Aam Aadmi Party inside and outside the Parliament. The people of the country are aware of the sinister plan of the Modi government and will teach them a fitting lesson in the coming elections.

7000 Fold increase in Price of Land Acquisition to Retail – SC
April12, 2015 (C) Ravinder Singh ravinderinvent@gmail.com
Supreme Court in its judgment of July02, 2013 admitted to Price of Land Acquisition Notified in 22-03-2003 for Phase-II to be as low as Rs,1,75,000 per acre but HSIIDC retailed it for Rs.77,54,34,189 per acre on 11-09-2010 and earlier bulk purchase price on 30-06-2006 was Rs.68.61 Crores Per acre for Ex-P6.
SC didn’t consider Rs.68 crore deposited in Bank would have been worth Rs.90 crores and invested in stock Market would have been say Rs.200 crores.
This Is 7000 TIMES Notified Price – Farmers Were Illegally Denied Capitalization Of Their Wealth and Ancestral Property.
HSIIDC in 2008 allotted 600 acres of land to Maruti Udyog at Rs.19,00,000 / acre.
Such a situation arise when Firstly Farmers are not able to Hire ‘COMPETENT ADVOCATE’ and Secondly ‘Advocates They Engage Are Batting For Corporate.’
As Collector Notification of 22.7.2003 There Was Big DISCRIMINATION Within Village and Source of MEGA Corruption. Land value is Notified between Rs.1,75,000 to Rs.10,00,000 to DIVIDE farmers or Landowners.
Name of the village | Chahi per acre in Rs. | Bhood per acre in Rs. | Banjar per acre in Rs. | Gair Mumkin per acre in Rs. |
Kasan | 5,25,000 | 5.00.000 | 5.00.000 | 7,50,000 |
Bas Kusla | 2,25,000 | 1,75,000 | 1,75,000 | 3,60,000 |
Naharpur Kasan | 5,25,000 | 4,00,000 | 4,00,000 | 7,20,000 |
Manesar | 7,00,000 | 7,00,000 | 7,00,000 | 10,00,000 |
Valuation of RIL Operating Many Units Directly + 103 Subsidiaries Pay Rs.2793 Crore in 2013-14 as DIVIDEND to Shareholders
How is that Farm Land Value Is Based On Productivity?
SC also didn’t Consider That Farmers Can Themselves Offer LandTo Industry orCut Plots For Commercial Purpose or Set Up Own Industry To ADD VALUE TO THEIR LAND HOLDINGS BUT NOT ALLOWED.
SC also didn’t Consider Maruti Udyog is Producing Cars for All Indians & For Exports – Why Should Few Villages Subsidize Maruti Udyog?
Why Can’t Indians SUBSIDIZE LAND FOR INDUSTRIES & SEZs?
Importantly Companies Acquire Land Many Times Their Requirement Funded By Public Bank Deposits – RIL 10X Land For Jamnagar Refinery.

Jitu Rai’s 10m Air Pistol Bronze Highlight of Competition Day Three at Changwon Shooting World Cup
Jitu’s seventh consecutive Medal in World Shooting events since June, 2014
New Delhi, 12 April 2015: It looks impossible to halt the Jitu Rai juggernaut. Just when one felt that the diminutive Army Pistol ace’s Medal winning spree at World Shooting events would come to an end, he pulled out the proverbial ‘rabbit out of the hat’ in the Men’s 10m Air Pistol event at the ongoing Shooting World Cup (Rifle/Pistol) in Changwon, Korea to clinch the Bronze Medal. This is Jitu’s seventh continuous Medal in World Shooting events, a run which started way back in June, 2014. What makes this Medal even more special is the fact that Jitu disappointed yesterday in his pet 50m Pistol, finishing 21st, in an event where he is ranked 2nd in the world and one in which he had won India her first Olympic quota place at the World Championships in Granada last year, with a Silver winning performance.
At one stage it looked all lost, when Jitu overcame a sluggish start in the qualification round, where shooters have to shoot a total of 60 shots, to just about make it to the final round in 8th position with a score of 581. In the eight man final as well, Jitu started off very slowly, unable to score 10 or more with his shots with any form of regularity, before coming into his own midway through the finals to clinch the Bronze. Jitu’s Korean rival and world number one Jin Jongoh, was meanwhile shooting on a different planet and won Gold with a Finals World Record score of 206. Nuang Ye Tun of Malaysia won the Silver Medal in the event.
“We are delighted to see another Bronze coming our way through Jitu’s performance today. The phenomenon of Jitu Rai has surfaced again, adding to his rich haul of medals since last year. This only showcases the class that this young Army Marksman possesses and what strength he adds to the Indian contingent. I would also like to thank the Armed Forces for their continuous efforts towards providing top class shooters without fail,” said Mr. Raninder Singh, President, NRAI after Jitu’s win today.
In other news from India’s shooting contingent in Changwon, Jitu’s compatriots in the 10m Air Pistol, Prakash Nanjappa and Gurpreet Singh finished 18th and 48th respectively in the qualification round. Chain Singh did well to qualify for the eight man final in the Men’s 50m Rifle Prone event ahead of established stars like Gagan Narang and finished sixth in the finals. Chain had shot 623.4 to qualify for the finals in seventh position. In the Women’s 50m Rifle 3 Positions, Elizabeth Susan Koshy shot 580 in her elimination round to finish fourth, while Lajja Gauswami and Anjali Bhagwat in their respective elimination rounds finished fifth and eighth respectively with scores of 568 and 567.

AAP thanks Delhi govt for highest ever compensation to farmers
Aam Aadmi Party thanks the Delhi government for its announcement of unprecedented compensation to the farmers whose crops have been destroyed by the recent unseasonal rains and hailstorm in Delhi.
The decision of the Arvind Kejriwal government to provide a compensation of Rs 50,000 per hectare (Rs 20,000 per acre) to every affected farmer is highest ever by any government in the country.
The AAP government has proved its pro-people character in each of its decision so far and the farmers compensation in Delhi should serve as an eye-opener for other state governments where farmers crops have been destroyed.
The party appreciates the Delhi government’s plan of providing subsidy to farmers for the purchase of seeds and fertilizers and also quick tubewell connections for irrigation. No government in Delhi had so far addressed the important concerns of farmers.
Reports from Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra along with utterly condemnable and irresponsible statements from some union ministers present a sorry picture about the insensitivity towards the plight of farmers across the country.
The callous attitude of several state governments, including some BJP ruled states on compensation for farmers along with the adamant attitude of the Narendra Modi government at the centre in imposing the anti-farmer land acquisition ordinance has exposed its real face.
At a time when farmers across many states are facing acute hardships clearly visible with the reports of suicides from many places across the country, it is shocking that the Modi government instead of addressing their concerns is busy in compounding their miseries by looking at all possible ways to please corporates by facilitating forcible acquisitions through this ordinance.
The AAP appeals to all its volunteers to ensure a resounding success of the April 22 march to Parliament against Modi government’s anti-farmer land acquisition ordinance.

Export pessimism again: Trade policy of Modi government falls short on ambition and ideas
The Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) of the NDA government, announced by trade minister Nirmala Sitharaman earlier this month, is in two parts. It includes an FTP statement itself 66 pages long, accompanied by the actual policy that is another 159 pages! With all this commendable effort, it may still not achieve Sitharaman’s stated objective that “it will enable India to respond to the challenges of external trade environment and take India to the next level in international trade”.
The reason is not far to seek. FTP, while being in the right direction, reflects business as usual and attempts only incremental change rather than the bold new beginning that is needed if India is to “assume a position of leadership in the international trade discourse”.
India cannot aspire to be a global leader with a mere 2% share in global trade. This may rise to 3.5% with FTP’s target of raising total (merchandise plus services) exports from $465.9 billion in 2013-14 to $900 billion by 2020-21. Even this will not suffice to give us the status of a major export power or a legitimate seat on the global governance high table. We have to do better than achieving an annual export growth rate of 15% as assumed by FTP.
The assumed growth rate is inexplicably significantly lower than the 21% achieved by Indian exporters in the five years between 2005-06 and 2010-11. Between 2003 and 2010 Chinese exports increased from $438 billion to $1,578 billion at a compound annual growth rate of more than 30%. As a result, China’s exports were $2.2 trillion in 2013 and accounted for 11.7% of global exports. At this level they are nearly five times India’s total exports!
Clearly FTP has adopted a somewhat cautious target, which will not allow India to exploit the full potential of external demand for generating employment and expanding domestic manufacturing capacities.
FTP includes some steps for simplifying the system of rewards or incentives for exporters. First, it introduces the Merchandise Exports from India (MEIS) and Service Exports from India Schemes. These bring together a number of existing schemes under one head, makes these rewards payable in the form of duty credit scrip that are freely transferable and can be used to pay for customs and excise duties as well as service tax.
Second, these incentives are also made available to units operating from the Special Economic Zones (SEZs). Third, manufacturing exporters who are also status holders can now self-certify their goods as originating from India. Fourth, export units operating under four export promotion schemes will henceforth have access to fast track mechanisms, allowed to share infrastructure facilities and permitted to establish warehouses near their chosen ports. Other measures may well be hidden in the minutiae.
However, despite being nine months in the making, FTP leaves several well-known constraints unaddressed. SEZs continue to suffer from the minimum alternate tax. MEIS comes with a non-eligibility list of 19 criteria; MSME exporters will neither have any relief from the number of inspectors that plague them, nor be assured of better access to formal credit.
There is no special effort to attract export-oriented FDI and address infrastructure weaknesses, which are recognised to be two essential conditions for making Indian exporters a part of global value chains. FTP does not give a firm date for setting up the Directorate General of Trade Remedies.
It also does not give any details of the proposed Centre for Research in International Trade, which will hopefully be merged with the ministry’s own Indian Institute of Foreign Trade. It might have been advisable to announce FTP after another three months during which these details would have been worked out and action completed on reducing cost and time in processing export and import applications.
There are three major omissions. First, lack of a policy for ramping up foreign tourism in which India is truly a poor performer. With its meagre 7.5 million foreign tourist arrivals per year, India is losing out on a major employment expansion opportunity.
Second, the MSME sector – which produces 45% of manufacturing output and 40% of total exports – receives only cursory treatment without any tangible steps to make it a part of global value chains or improving access to needed technologies and markets. Third, FTP leaves the large panoply of export promotion and facilitation institutions virtually untouched, despite the majority of them not contributing effectively to the export effort.
The argument that tourism, manufacturing or MSMEs come under different ministries and consequently cannot be covered under FTP is contrary to FTP’s own assertion that the document represents the effort of the ‘whole government’ and tries to mainstream export activity. It would have been far better if FTP was accompanied by policy announcements for export expansion by other ministries like tourism, handicrafts, textiles, IT services and ministry of MSMEs.
Such a coordinated exercise, undertaken for the first time, would have shown a government working towards a common goal and inspired greater confidence. As it is, government has reinforced the impression that it is happy to tinker at the margins rather than go to the drawing board for designing a bold new policy approach.
Such incrementalism could disillusion investors who expected a new policy paradigm from the Modi government for tackling India’s serious employment challenge.

The largest collective of women in India's informal sector is SEWA—the Self-Employed Women's Association, also founded by a woman. Its achievements within the country to provide a social security net for its members and add value to household enterprise have been widely recognized. But one of its most recent endeavours is particularly noteworthy—a programme in war-torn Afghanistan to train women, especially war widows, to acquire skills, set up food processing enterprises and initiate ecological regeneration. A similar programme is the Hand-in-Hand project in two provinces in Afghanistan based on the experience of our self-help-groups. In a true spirit of sisterhood, they are contributing to women's empowerment in that country. "

Modi with German Chancellor Angela Merkel at Berlin
चांसलर मर्कल,
मीडिया के सदस्य
मैं चांसलर मर्कल का और जर्मनी का आभार व्यक्त करता हूँ मेरा और मेरी delegation का गरमजोशी और सम्मान की भावना से स्वागत के लिए।
और विशेष करके इस लिए कि मेरी सरकार के पहले साल में उन्होंने भारत को विश्व के सबसे बड़े Trade Fair में Partner Country चुना। चांसलर मर्कल ने Hannover में मुझे, मेरे डेलीगेशन और भारत की कई कंपनीज के CEOs के साथ अपना बहुमूल्य समय दिया। और आज फिर से बर्लिन में मेरा और मेरे डेलीगेशन का हार्दिक स्वागत किया।
मैं इस बात के लिए धन्यवाद देता हूं कि बड़े खुले मन और गहराई से भारत और जर्मनी के संबंधों के बारे में उन्होंने बातचीत की है। यह उनके जर्मनी के हितों पर ध्यान और भारत और जर्मनी के संबंधों के लिए प्रतिबद्धता का प्रतीक है।
और उन्होंने कल Hannover में भारत के Lion के निमंत्रण को स्वीकार किया और आश्वस्त किया कि जर्मनी के ईगल द्वारा उसका ठोस उत्तर देंगी। मेरा विश्वास है कि धरती का राजा, Lion, और आकाश के राजा, eagle, की अच्छी जोड़ी बनेगी।
जब मैं पिछली बार बर्लिन आया था तो उस शाम बर्लिन ने world cup final में सफलता प्राप्त की थी। मैं आज यह महसूस कर रहा हूँ कि भारत और जर्मनी की Strategic partnership को एक नयी उँचाई पर ले जाने में हम अवश्य सफल होंगे।
भारत में जब कोई Technology, manufacturing या High Quality की बात करता है तो सबसे पहले जर्मनी का नाम ध्यान में आता है। तो यह स्वाभाविक है कि आज भारत जब आर्थिक विकास और रोजगार के लिए Make in India के नये रास्ते पर चला है तो उसे जर्मनी के साथ की अपेक्षा है।
आर्थिक परिवर्तन या सामान्य व्यक्ति के जीवन में सुधार के किसी भी उद्देश्य के बारे में सोचें तो उसमें Technology, Skills, Innovation और Investment की बड़ी भूमिका होती है। मेरा जर्मनी आने का उद्देश्य यह था कि मैं जर्मन Industry को भारत में आने के लिए आमंत्रित करूँ और उन्हें आश्वस्त करूँ कि उन्हें एक खुले, आसान और स्थिर आर्थिक माहौल मिलेगा और जिसमें प्रवेश करने में और काम करने में मेरी तरफ से पूरी सहायता मिलेगी।
चांसलर मर्कल और जर्मन Industry के उत्साह और रूचि को देखकर मैं बहुत प्रोत्साहित महसूस कर रहा हूँ। उनके फीडबैक से नीतियों को बनाने में मुझे बहुत लाभ होगा।

![]() The Congress has demanded the declassification of all files related to death or disappearance of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. Replying to a media query in New Delhi this evening, senior party leader P C Chacko alleged that the government has deliberately and selectively leaked information on files. He said, the government should put details of the files before Parliament and debate on the issue. When asked about the merger of Janta Parivar, Mr Chacko said, it is their internal matter. He, however, said only time will tell whether it will be able to achieve its goal. |
