New Delhi, Dec 25: Congress president Sonia Gandhi has reportedly expressed anger at the remarks of the PCC chief Botsa Satyanarayana on the Delhi gang rape.
According to sources, she has asked her adviser Ahmed Patel to obtain an explanation from Botsa on the remarks. It is learnt that Botsa has given a letter explaining his comments and his later statement condemning media reports to the AICC general secretary and state party in-charge Ghulam Nabi Azad.
It was reported that Botsa has faulted the girl for moving about at midnight. He has reportedly said that we cannot move about during midnight simply because we got freedom at midnight. He is reported to have described the rape as a minor incident and praised Sonia Gandhi for talking to student leaders though it was a small incident.
Dublin,
Dec 19: Ireland has decided to bring a legislation to allow abortions
in hospitals when doctors determine that a mother's life is at risk.
The
Catholic nation has taken the decision in view of world-wide protests
over the horrible death of an Indian dentist from pregnancy related
complications, when doctors refused to perform abortion, because of the
strict Catholic rules prohibiting it.
Savita Halappanavar
(31) a Karnataka-born dentist was rushed to a Galway hospital following
complications when she was 17 weeks pregnant. But doctors refused to
terminate her pregnancy. Savita died of septicaemia, three days after
requesting a termination. Her husband has alleged that Savita died
because doctors could do nothing as Ireland was a Catholic country.
Abortion
is banned in Ireland as per a papal diktat. Savita's case drew
world-wide criticism of the inhuman rule, forcing Ireland to amend the
law.
New Deldi, Dec 14: Christian evangelist and Praja Santi party founder KA Paul has appealed to the government of Norway to release the Telugu couple Chandrasekhar and Anupama who were convicted for harassing their son. He said they should be at least released for the sake of their children or sent away from that country.
Paul spoke to the media here with Bhargava, brother of Anupama. He said the children were weeping for their parents and the Norwegian government should release the couple or send them out, on humanitarian consideration.
It may be recalled that the Oslo court has convicted the couple and sentenced Chandrasekhar to 18 months in prison and Anupama to 15 months. The couple have appealed to the high court, challenging the Oslo court’s judgment. Norwegian prosecutor Kurt Lir has charged that the couple had beaten their boy with belt and had even scalded him with heated metal. However the couple had denied doing that. Their lawyer has also told the court that they might not have behaved properly with their son, but have not tortured him. It may also be mentioned here that the Norwegian police have arrested the couple 9 months after the incident.
Chandrasekhar, an employee of the software giant TCS, has gone to Norway 18 months ago. He has then taken his wife and two sons also along with him. As it was a long stay, he has admitted his sons in a school in Oslo. It was then that their elder son Sai Sriram has complained to his teachers of the ill- treatment being meted out to him by his parents. However, before police could act, the couple came back with their children. Chandrasekhar was given another assignment and not knowing that a case was waiting for him there, this time the couple went to Oslo, leaving the children behind. Police arrested the couple during their second trip.
Nalgonda,
Dec 12: Uneasy calm prevailed in the district when the BJP activists
attacked Inspector General of Police Rajiv Ratan at Yellareddiguda under
Narketpally mandal on Wednesday.
The BJP enforced
district bandh in protest against an attack on one Hanuman Swamy and
arrest of several Hanuman devotees in Nalgonda town on Tuesday. As part
of bandh, BJP activists staged a rasta-roko at Yellareddiguda village
adjoining Narketpally-Nalgonda road.
Annoyed over the
road blockade program, Rajiv Ratan, who was traveling on the same route
to review bandh situation in the district, beat one of the activists
when they obstructed the IG’s vehicle. In retaliation, the
lathi-wielding activists attacked Rajiv Ratan, who was in plain clothes.
As a result, the IG sustained simple injuries on his neck and hand in
the attack. Alerted by the sudden attack on the IG, the police personnel
stopped the agitators and escorted him from there. Ratan took treatment
at the SP’s office in Nalgonda town and relaxed for a while. Later,
accompanied by DIG and SP, he visited Nalgonda Old City.
Speaking
to the media after the review meeting on the situation prevailing in
the district, Ratan said the situation was under control. He said the
Narketpally police have registered a case against the youth who had
attacked him.
Meanwhile, the district wore a deserted look
due to the total bandh. Business, commercial and educational
institutions and petrol bunks remained closed. The police stopped the
Hanuman devotees’ rally taken out from Ayyappa Temple in Ramagiri as
prohibitory order under Section 144 Cr.P.C. was in force.
In Miryalaguda town and several mandals in the district, the BJP activists staged rasta rokos and took out processions.

New
Delhi, Dec 2: TDP leader and MP Nandamuri Hari Krishna has expressed
anger at both his brothers-in-law Chandra Babu Naidu and Dr.
Venkateswara Rao. He said both were dragging the image of the family to
roads, over the statue of his late father N T Rama Rao.
Stating
that it was the desire of all the family members that NTR's statue
should be erected in the Parliament, Hari Krishna said it was not
important as to who was responsible for it. He said it was improper on
the part of any one to politicize who was instrumental for it. He also
felt that it was just a family matter and neither the TDP nor the
sons-in-law (Naidu and Daggubati) should intervene in it.
Hari
Krishna has also said that the party's image has suffered because of
three MPs abstaining from the voting on the FDIs in the Rajya Sabha. He
said because of what they had done, they were unable to stand upright
and show their faces to other opposition members.
Hyderabad, Dec 12: The union home ministry has invited nine political parties from Andhra Pradesh for an all-party meeting on Telangana scheduled to be held Dec 28 in New Delhi.
Ignoring the demand from some Telangana parties and leaders of Congress and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) that one representative from each party be invited, the parties have been asked to nominate two representatives each.
A ministry letter said a number of representations were made by MPs to restart the dialogue on Telangana.
The letter from K. Skandan, additional secretary in the ministry of home affairs, was received by the parties Wednesday.
Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde has clearly rejected the demand of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy to postpone the meeting in view of World Telugu Conference at Tirupati Dec 27-29.
The ministry has invited Congress, TDP, YSR Congress Party, Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Communist Party of India (CPI), Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M), Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) and Lok Satta for the meet.
TRS leader Harish Rao said it proved that the Congress was not sincere in solving the issue. TDP leader from Telangana E. Dayakar Rao termed the meet as another ploy by the Congress.
Telangana Joint Action Committee (JAC) chairman M. Kodandaram said irrespective of the number of representatives invited from each party, all parties should take a clear stand on the issue.
At the two all-party meetings convened by the centre in 2010 and 2011, the representatives from major parties were divided along regional lines.
While representatives from Telangana wanted separate statehood to the region, those from Andhra and Rayalaseema opposed bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh.
The Congress, TDP, YSR Congress party and Lok Satta have not yet taken a clear stand on Telangana. The TRS, BJP and CPI are demanding separate Telangana state while CPI-M and MIM are opposed to it.
Hyderabad,
Dec 12: Near stampedes occurred at all the information centres of the
TTD as devotees thronged in large numbers for tickets for the darshan of
Lord Venkateswara on the auspicious occasion of Mukkoti Ekadasi.
As
the TTD has announced that tickets would be issued in advance for
darshan on Vaikuntha Ekadasi, people rushed to the information centres
on Tuesday night itself for the tickets that would be issued next
morning. The queue reached the GHMC office from the Liberty centre
across the road in Hyderabad.
In the morning one aged
person was said to have fainted in the pushing and jostling. He was
rushed to a hospital. Police also made a mild lathi-charge to bring
order. It is learnt that when the gates opened in the morning, people
pushed each other to be first at the counter and some persons had
sustained injuries.
Devotees are complaining that TTD employees were selling the tickets to their near and dear through the back door.
The
same kind of situation prevailed at all the centres. In Srikakulam
devotees have attacked the TTD employees as they became suspicious that
tickets were being sold in black.
Hyderabad, Dec 10: Y S Jaganmohan Reddy was reportedly injured in the Chanchalguda jail and was unable to walk because of it.
According
to information, Jagan has sustained an injury to his toe a week ago. He
has neglected it, as it was a small injury. However as the injury had
not healed, he was unable to walk for the last one week say these
reports.
The YSR Congress chief was then taken to the
jail hospital and X-ray was taken. It is learnt that he had sustained a
fracture. Doctors have put bandage to his leg and asked him to refrain
from straining his leg and take total rest.
Reports say that he is recovering and would be totally fit in two or three days.
It
is learnt that initially jail authorities thought of taking the Kadapa
MP to the Osmania hospital, but gave up the idea because of security
problems. They brought a technician and equipment to the jail to have
the X-ray taken.
Tirupati,
Dec 10: Congress MP Kavuri Sambasiva Rao has said that the plan of the
separatists was to plunder the rich in a big way if separate state was
created.
Addressing the Samaikyandhra Samara Bheri in the
SV University here on Monday, he said if backwardness was to be the
basis for division, there would be need for innumerable divisions. He
has alleged that students and people were being unnecessarily provoked
for political gain of leaders. He said if separate state was created,
they would extort money from the rich. He said it was the plan of some
leaders to collect crores of rupees from the rich and fill their pockets
if 'T' state was created. He has lamented that some people were
entering politics only to earn money. He has pointed out that the Sri
Krishna committee has stated that there were backward regions in Andhra
and Rayalaseema regions also.
The senior MP has stated
that regional parties were sprouting up because of economic imbalances
and these parties were inciting the people in the name of economic and
social inequalities. He said if these imbalances were removed, there
would be no need to divide the nation or the state.
Hyderabad,
Dec 5: Panchayatraj Minister K Jana Reddy has expressed happiness over
the Centre announcing a date for the all-party meeting on Telangana
issue.
Speaking to the media at Secretariat here on
Wednesday, Jana Reddy thanked the UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi and party
high command leaders. He also hailed the Telangana Congress MPs for

public representatives have to properly explain to Sonia Gandhi and the
Core Committee members so that they could understand the problem of the
Telangana and the feelings of the Telangana people once again.
He
warned that serious consequences will follow if the all-party meeting
failed to take a favorable decision on Telangana issue. He said that the
Telangana Congress leaders have cancelled the decision of announcing of
a key decision on December 9 as the Centre announced all-party meeting
on December 28.
New
Delhi, Dec 5: The Manmohan Singh-led government saved itself some
possible embarrassment Wednesday when it comfortably won the vote in the
Lok Sabha on foreign investment in multi-brand retail that is seen as
important step in its reform process. It also won another motion on
amendments to the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) to facilitate
its initiative.
Both the motions had been moved by the
opposition. The first, main, motion on the government's decision to
allow 51 percent foreign direct investment (FDI) in multi-brand retail
that would allow global supermarket chains to set up shop in India was
moved by the BJP and the CPI-M. The second one opposing amendments to
FEMA was moved by the Trinamool Congress.
With the rival
Uttar Pradesh parties, Samajwadi Party (SP) and the Bahujan Samaj Party
(BSP), which prop the ruling UPA from outside, strategically walking out
of the house before the vote, the government sailed through the
challenges.
The halfway mark needed to win the votes was
reduced with the SP's 22 MPs and the BSP's 21 abstaining. Propelled by
the unlikely Mulayam Singh Yadav-Mayawati combination, the government
won the FDI motion with a 35 vote margin 218 votes for the opposition
motion, 253 against in a house with 471 members.
The FEMA motion was won by 30 votes in a house with 478 members, the opposition got 224 votes and the government 254.
"We
are very happy. We have the support of the house," said a beaming
Communications Minister Kapil Sibal while lauding the country's "vibrant
democracy".
A defeated Bharatiya Janata Party leader
Sushma Swaraj slammed Mulayam Singh for walking out of the house and
condemned the UPA's "arrogance of power".
The SP, which
had said earlier in the morning that it was against FDI but would not do
anything to "trouble the government", said the move was "anti-farmer".
"Five
crore (50 million) people in retail trade will be destroyed. This
decision has ignored the interests of 20 crore (200 million) farmers and
their families. The decision on FDI was taken under pressure of foreign
companies. This is the reason the party boycotted it," Mulayam Singh
said.
"This is not about helping or harming the
government. The whole party and MPs had decided to stage a walkout. This
was decided by the party and the SP will continue to oppose every wrong
decision of the government," he said
The decision to
allow FDI in multi-brand retail is expected to open the doors for major
global names such as Wal-Mart, Carrefour and Tesco.
Oslo,
Dec 4: Indian couple Vallabhaneni Chandrasekhar and Anupama were
sentenced by the district court here for roughing up their son. While
Chandrasekhar was sentenced to 18 months of imprisonment, his wife
Anupama was sentenced to 15 months.
The court has permitted the couple to appeal against the judgment in the high court.
Chandrasekhar, an employee of Tata Consultancy Services has gone on deputation to Norway along with his wife and two sons.
They
have admitted the children in a local school as the deputation was for
18 months. Elder son Sai Sri Ram (7) is mischievous and used to cause
trouble to the parents. They reportedly chided the boy for wetting his
pants. They even threatened to send him back to India. The boy has
complained about his parents to his teachers who in turn complained to
the child welfare department. Authorities of the department have taken
the boy away and conducted various tests on him to know the intensity of
the ill-treatment his parents have meted out to him. After a month, the
boy was sent back to the parents after due counseling.
The
authorities have apparently booked a case then and the couple was not
however informed about it then. The couple came back to India with their
children. Chandrasekhar was asked to go back to Oslo on another
assignment recently. Unaware that a case was already registered against
them, Chandrasekhar went there again along with his wife, leaving the
children behind. Police have arrested both on December 23, for
harassment of their son. Prosecutors have even recommended the
punishment. On a request from the Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy, the
union minister Vayilar Ravi has contacted the Indian Embassy in Oslo and
enquired the possibility of getting the couple released. However after
being told that the India could not interfere in the laws of Norway, the
central government has expressed its inability to intervene.
Parents shocked
Back
in Hyderabad, The parents of V. Chandrasekhar and his wife Anupama,
broke down on hearing the news of their conviction. A family member said
they were shocked.
They termed the verdict "one-sided" as
the court did not take into account the issues raised by the couple,
including the report sent by a psychiatrist from here.
"There
was no response to our concerns. We came to know that the court did not
take into account the points raised by our lawyer. This is not a
digestible situation," Chandrasekhar's nephew V. Sailendra told
reporters at their residence in Miyapur here.
"We have the
option of appealing in a higher court and we will exercise that
option," he added. The couple's children -- seven-year-old Sai Sriram
and his two-year-old younger brother -- are living with their
grandparents at Miyapur.
"Our biggest worry is how to
handle the children because they are inquiring about their parents. They
want to know because newspapers and television channels are carrying
their pictures," said another family member.
Sailendra
said both the children were depressed and they were sending regular
reports to the Oslo police about their health condition.
"What
kind of justice is this? This verdict has separated the children from
their parents. The children can't live without them. The two-year-old is
very attached to them and he needs their care," he said.
The
family alleged that the authorities in Norway have blown the issue out
of proportion when Sriram had told his school teacher that the parents
chided him for bed-wetting.
Psychiatrist Kalyan Chakravarthi, in his report sent to Oslo court, said he had several sessions of counseling with the boy.
According
to him, Sriram is 'mild to moderate' case of attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder (APHD) and was showing positive signs till the
situation turned awry with the arrest of his parents.
The
family members are also unhappy with the Indian government for not doing
anything to help the couple. External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid
ruled out any intervention, saying the issue relates to a private
citizen and to the local law of that country.
The couple was arrested by police in Oslo last week on charges of "gross or repeated maltreatment" of their child.
Justifying
their arrest, the Oslo police have termed the case as "very serious". A
police officer has been quoted as saying that the boy bore burn marks
and scars on his body and that he was beaten with belt.
The
couple's lawyer denied that they hurt the boy but said they had some
difficulties in handling him. The family members said the boy had
sustained some accidental injuries while playing.
The
arrest was made nine months after Sriram complained to his school
teachers that his parents were threatening to send him back to India for
wetting his pants.
Originally hailing from Krishna
district in coastal Andhra, Chandrasekhar with his family returned home
in July this year. Chandrasekhar again left for Norway on Nov 23 for
work. This time he went only with his wife leaving behind both his sons.
The
family members said the couple had gone to Norway in response to the
summons issued by the Oslo court. "They wanted to close the case and
clear their name before returning to India. They did not expect things
to take this ugly turn," said a family member.
Hyderabad, Dec 2: Government Whip in the Assembly and Sangareddy MLA Toorpu Jayaprakash Reddy alias Jagga Reddy made a sensational statement today. He said that he would address a letter to Congress president Sonia Gandhi and high command requesting them not to concede separate Telangana State.
Speaking to the media here on Sunday, Jagga Reddy said that he does not see any benefit with creation of separate Telangana State and he would convey his opinion to Sonia Gandhi soon. He said that he would go to New Delhi and meet the party high command and tell them about his opinion. He said that he would ask the party high command to provide a special package to the region instead of bifurcation of the State. However, he said that he would not object any decision taken by the high command. “I will not change my stand even if the high command created separate Telangana State”, he added.
He opined that communal parties would be strengthened further if separate Telangana State was created. He said that he has evidence to prove that separate Telangana State was not necessary.
Reacting to Jagga Reddy’s remarks, several Telangana Congress leaders condemned his stand saying that he should keep his opinion with himself and not make it public. They expressed fears that the Telangana leaders would be at receiving end in the coming general elections along with Jagga Reddy. Making it clear that they totally disapprove Jagga Reddy’s statement, the Telangana Congress leaders pointed out that Jagga Reddy was a habitual defector. He had joined the TRS after leaving the BJP and later joined the ruling Congress for greener pastures; but they (Congress leaders) remained in the Congress from the beginning of their political career.
Hyderabad,
Nov 27: CBI has taken into custody Gangadhar Reddy, producer of the
film ‘Nandeeswarudu’, in connection with the Chandigarh medical scam
that has recently caused ripples in academic circles.
CBI
found that it was according to a plan hatched by Gangadhara Reddy that
mass copying using hi-tech methods was executed in the medical post
graduation examinations in Chandigarh.
Gangadhar Reddy a
medical post graduate of Gandhi Medical College, hails from Sri
Kalahasti in Chittoor district. CBI suspects that he started film
production under his banner ‘Kota Film Corporation’ only with the scam
money. Reddy’s involvement is suspected even in the Eamcet scam.
Speaking to the media here on Monday, he said the Suryapet meeting was only for saving the existence of TRS and not for Telangana. He said it was heinous that KCR was trying to gain from the martyrdom of innocent Telangana students and youth. He said even if Telangana was conceded, YSRCP would rule in both the states. He said KCR was frightened at the increasing influence of his party in the Telangana region and was struggling for his own existence. He said this was the reason why he was talking as he liked.
Reminding that TRS ministers were in the cabinet when Pulichintala decision was taken, Jitta has questioned why they had not opened their mouths then. He has also told that it was due to YSR that NIMS was started in Bibinagar and added that it would have become operational by now, if only YSR was alive.
Jitta has questioned KCR why he was not talking about Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi and their Congress party. He has also questioned what happned to KCR's fight on Wakf land allotments. Reminding that it was already 3 years since YSR died, Jitta questioned who was stopping Telangana now.
Hyderabad,
Nov 26: TRS MP and former actress Vijaya Santi has made it clear that
she has no differences with the party chief K Chandrasekhara Rao.
Vijaya
Santi has not attended the Samara Bheri at Suryapet in Nalgonda
district on Sunday. Media reports said that differences sprouted between
the two and Vijaya Santi deliberately abstained from the meeting.
However
the MP said she could not attend the meeting as she has been suffering
from fever for the last two days. She said she has even informed KCR
about her condition and inability to attend the meeting.
Nalgonda,
Nov 20: Former Minister and Nalgonda MLA Komatireddy Venkat Reddy has
said that he had resigned his minister post for the sake of separate
Telangana State. However he has started singing a new song. He said he
would not join the YSR Congress, but launch a new party or a front.
Talking to the media here on Tuesday, he said he never called Sonia Gandhi an angel.
Referring
to the charge of TRS that he was a traitor of Telangana, he has
questioned if all those who do not join the TRS would be branded as
traitors. Reminding that he has quit the cabinet for Telangana,
Komatireddy has said he would announce his future course of action on
December 9 if Congress leadership does not announce its decision on
Telangana by then. He said he would plan his future after consulting
union minister Jaipal Reddy and state minister Jana Reddy.
Only
on Monday Komatireddy said their leader and MP Gutta Sukhinder Reddy
has decided to join the YSRCP and he and his brother and MP Rajagopal
Reddy would follow him. But he now says he was misquoted. TV channels
have shown the visuals and also telecast his exact dialogues. Still
Komatireddy has chosen to deny the news.
With the Komatireddy brothers – Bhongir MP K Rajagopal Reddy and Nalgonda MLA K Venkat Reddy, more or less disclosing their mind to quit the Congress and jump into the YSR Congress, they have started receiving brickbats from their detractors.
Senior Congress leader and Rajya Sabha member Palwai Goverdhan Reddy described the Komatireddy brothers as betrayers of Telangana.
“Late Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy was dead against Telangana state. And his son Y S Jaganmohan Reddy also displayed his anti-Telangana stand. How can Komatireddy brothers who claim to be championing the Telangana cause join the YSR Congress?” he asked.
Palwai alleged that the Komatireddy brothers had amassed huge wealth with the patronage of YSR.
“Komatireddy brothers were interested only in money making and contracts, rather than Telangana. I have been predicting for a long time that they would leave the Congress party to join the Jagan camp,” he pointed out.
Hyderabad, Nov 17: Telangana employees’ leader Srinivasa Goud who was being ignored by the TRS Chief K Chandrasekhara Rao has expressed his anguish. Goud who played a key role in the Sakala Janula Samme was not invited by KCR when he met the political JAC chief Prof Kodandaram on Friday. Talking to the media on Saturday, Goud said this had hurt some of the people. He has pragmatically said he did not understand if not inviting him was also part of a strategy or happened because of some persons. He has said he would however play a key role in the movement and fight for telangana
For the first time, a state minister has dubbed for a role in a Tollywood movie and colleagues are going all out to portray Kiran Kumar as a hero of the people.
Supporters of Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy are trying their best to ensure that their `propaganda' film ‘Operation Duryodhan 2’ becomes a hit.
Apart from recovering their Rs 5-crore investment, they want the maximum number of people to see the film, which showcases the capabilities of their leader. The aim is to expose his detractors within and outside the party.
Apparently for the first time, a state minister, E. Pratap Reddy, has dubbed for his role. “Pratap Reddy likes to complete any given task with perfection; so to give a realistic touch to his character, he preferred to dub for himself,” says producer Surender Reddy.
The minister is actually portraying the character of Kiran Kumar Reddy and the political thriller will be showcasing the various schemes initiat ed by the CM and his “zero tolerance” towards corruption. In the film the CM appoints his friend and fire-brand CBI officer (Jagapathi Babu) who busts various scams and sends the culprits to jail.
“Some Congress leaders have funded this project to show Kiran Kumar Reddy in a good light and highlight his determination to eradicate corruption,” says a source.
Some of the characters of the film reportedly remind one of leaders like APCC chief Botsa Satyanarayana and Jagan Mohan Reddy.
“The film also shows the recent plans to unseat the CM,“ the source adds.
No Cabinet has shown so much interest in a Telugu potboiler and Kiran Kumar and his colleagues will apparently be watching the film soon.
‘Cameraman Ganga Tho Rambabu’ was supposed to be a veiled promotion of the late YSR as an able leader.
Krishna Vamsi’s ‘Paisa’ is expected to showcase the rise of Jagan Mohan Reddy as a politician and a businessman. The film ends with him becoming the Chief Minister.
Vishnu Manchu’s film ‘Assembly Rowdy’ has been “designed” to glorify Jagan Mohan Reddy who will be shown coming out of jail and ruling the roost in the Assembly.
