CBI functioning as a 'department of PMO': Mamata


New Delhi, Dec 18 (PTI) Pulling no punches in her attack
against BJP for allegedly pursuing "political vendetta"
against TMC, West Bengal Chief Minister today charged that CBI
was being used as a "political tool" by the NDA government and
was functioning as "a department of the PMO".
"We are the only party fighting a battle against BJP, who
are trying to bulldoze TMC. That (arrest of WB transport
minister Madan Mitra) is political vendetta. BJP... are
jealous of us (but) democracy cannot be bulldozed or imposed.
"The attitude which is displayed (by BJP) is dictatorial.
TMC will not bow down before anyone, except the people of the
country. This is a political fight and it will fight (it)
politically and democratically. You cannot stop our voice,"
Banerjee told reporters outside Parliament.
Banerjee maintained that her party had no role to play in
the Saradha chit fund scam since it had not taken place under
her government.
She said there are many cases pending with CBI in which
there has not been any outcome.
"It (CBI) is not an autonomous body, but a department of
the PMO. If the CBI is important, then it should act in public
interest. Rabindranath Tagore, who won the first Nobel prize
in India... his Nobel medal was stolen, even that has not been
found. Has CBI closed the case?
"In the Gyaneshwari accident case (of 2010), around 200
people were killed. As the (then) railway minister, I had
initiated a CBI inquiry, but nothing happened. In Singur, the
Rizwanur Rehman case, in Nandigram, in Netai... nothing has
happened? So is the CBI a tool of the government?
"If you ask me the role of CBI, (it is) A-political
vendetta, B-political-vendetta, C-political vendetta," she
said.
As she sought to defend Mitra, who was recently arrested
by CBI in connection with the Saradha scam, Banerjee said TMC
is the only party that has no role to play in any scam.
"If you talk of about our MP (Kunal Ghosh) who was
arrested, we gave nominations to three-four journalists as
there was no representation from the media. They were not
related to our party. TMC has no connection with any scam.
Those who talk about scams should see that charity begins at
home (sic).
"Saradha (scam) did not take place during our government.
From 2001-2006, it happened during the Left Front government.
And not only in Bengal, but in Kerala, Tripura, Assam, Odisha.
Chit fund is not illegal, but in the name of chit fund,
cheating people is an illegal thing," she said. 
The West Bengal Chief Minister said that her government
had formed a judicial commission after the Saradha scam and
disbursed over Rs 250 crore to those who had lost their money
in the Ponzi scheme.
"But those who act with transparency are called robbers
and those who steal become the leaders of the country," she
charged as she cited a Bengali saying that "the thief's mother
makes the loudest accusations".
"Those who cheated are very much happy with BJP now and
those were cheated are being arrested. The haves are getting
justice and the have nots, who raised their voice, are being
arrested," Banerjee said, adding that she would not run away
and the "people of Bengal will drive them (BJP) away".
She said the chit funds come under the jurisdiction of the
Centre and under the purview of company affairs, SEBI and the
Reserve Bank of India. There is no law for state governments
to look into their affairs.
"We raised this issue. We passed a law in (West Bengal)
Assembly that our state has not been empowered to seize the
property in such cases and return the money to the government.
"We sent the law to the government (for Presidential
assent). Two months have passed, they have said more
amendments are needed and sent it back. We again passed it in
the Assembly and sent it to the Governor. But there has been
no response," Banerjee said.
Banerjee is in Delhi to meet the President following the
recent surgery on him.
Asked whether she would meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi,
Banerjee said she had "no appointment" with him.
"I am here to meet the Honourable President who is
unwell," she said.
Asked about any meetings lined up with leaders of other
political parties, she said, "I will be happy to meet others.
I don't think any political party is untouchable."
Banerjee also made a jibe at the government in the context
of the row over reports that schools were asked to stay open
on Christmas to mark 'Good Governance Day'.
"They want kids to celebrate e-governance, first you (the
government) undertake e-governance and then ask kids. They are
already very smart," she said. PTI PR KKM 12181545

Banerjee asked what the CBI and SEBI were doing when the
Saradha scam was taking place.
"What was the RBI and SEBI doing? We have given our full
support to amendments in the SEBI Bill. We should not have
extended our support. Not only Saradha, but other chit funds,
why there is no action?
"We have heard that in PACL, there is a scam of Rs 49,000
crore. If Saradha has Rs 2,000 crore irregularity, then this
has Rs 49,000 crore (irregularity). We have a document in
which we asked that when there was enough evidence with the
CBI to act on this, why didn't they make arrests?
"The response from them was that they are cooperating in
the investigation," the West Bengal Chief Minister said.
She said her government had also constituted a judicial
commission and on the basis of its recommedation, we have also
distributed the money to the affected people.
"We made a judicial commission. As per the recommendations
of the commission, individuals have been returned their money.
"The CBI is investigating the (Saradha) scam, then why is
it not returning the money. ED, SIT, CBI...no one has returned
the money to the people.
"We want to give money and for that we made a law. We are
the only government who returned the money to 500 individuals.
They (the BJP) are very jealous of Bengal government," she
said.

1984 riots case: accused serving life term gets interim bail


New Delhi, Dec 1 (PTI) The Delhi High Court today granted
45-day interim bail to a retired naval officer serving life
term along with two others in a case relating to a 1984
anti-Sikh riots incident in which five members of a family
were killed.
A bench of justices Pradeep Nandrajog and Mukta Gupta
freed convict Captain Bhagmal on interim bail on condition
that he will furnish a bail bond of Rs 50,000 with one surety
of the like amount.
The court granted the relief after 86-year-old Bhagmal
sought three months interim bail, saying he needs to undergo
surgery for "enlarged prostate cancer".
Bhagmal, former MCD councillor Balwan Khokar and Girdhari
Lal are the three persons who were awarded life imprisonment
by the trial court in May last year.
While they were sentenced to life imprisonment, two other
convicts -former MLA Mahender Yadav and Kishan Khokar- were
given three years jail term each.
On April 30, last year, the trial court had, however,
acquitted Congress leader Sajjan Kumar in the case. Later his
acquittal was challenged by the family members of the victims
in the High Court.
The case relates to the murder of five members of a family
in Raj Nagar area of Delhi Cantonment on November 1, 1984, a
day after the assassination of Indira Gandhi.
The convicts have filed their appeals before the High
Court while CBI also filed its appeal demanding death sentence
for the trio, saying they were engaged in "a planned communal
riot" and "religious cleansing".

चार साहिबजादे

चार साहिबजादों की बहादुरी को देख कर छलके हजारों आंखों में आंसू
रंजीत लुधियानवी
कोलकाता, 16 नवंबर। एक साथ दो हजार से ज्यादा आंखों में आंसू छलकते रहे और यह एक बार नहीं तकरीबन दो घंटे  के दौरान बार-बार हुआ, आंसू बहाने वाली आंखों में पुरुष, महिला, बच्चे, जवान सभी शामिल थे। यह मौका रविवार की सुबह डनलप के सोनाली सिनेमा हाल में देखा गया जहां सुबह नौ बजे वाले शो में 1200 सीटों वाले प्रेक्षागृह में छह महीने से लेकर सात साल के बच्चों को मिलाकर फिल्म देखने वाले दर्शकों की संख्या ज्यादा नहीं तो कम से कम 1500 तो जरुर रही होगी। गुरुद्वारा सिख संगत, डनलप ब्रिज और नौजवान सभा की ओर से निर्माता पम्मी बवेजा, निर्देशक हैरी बवेजा की सिखों के दसवें गुरू गुरू गोविंद सिंह जी के चार साहिबजादों (पुत्रों) पर आधुनिक थ्री डी तकनीक से बनाई गई 129 मिनट की फिल्म ‘चार साहिबजादे’ के मुफ्त प्रदर्शन का था।
पश्चिम बंगाल में पहली बार पंजाबी भाषा की कोई फिल्म इतने व्यापक स्तर पर प्रदर्शित की गई है। आइनाक्स, अवनि पीवीआर, सोनाली, मेनका समेत राज्य के विभिन्न मल्टीप्लेक्स और साधारण सिनेमा घरों में हिंदी, पंजाबी भाषा के थ्री डी और टू डी के लगभग 20 शो प्रतिदिन हो रहे हैं। मालूम हो कि तकरीबन 26 करोड़ की लागत से बनी फिल्म पहले ही देश-विदेश में सुपरहिट हो चुकी है। पहले चार दिनों में 7.90 करोड़ के कारोबार के साथ पहले नौ दिनों में फिल्म 20 करोड़ रुपए का कारोबार कर चुकी है। इतना ही नहीं विदेशों में भी फिल्म ने शानदार कारोबार करते हुए शाहरुख खान की हैप्पी न्यू ईयर को कड़ी टक्कर दी है। तीसरे हफ्ते बंगाल के ब्रांड अंबेसडर की फिल्म ने जहां 178 प्रिंटों पर 2.20 करोड़ रुपए की कमाई की वहीं सिख इतिहास पर अंग्रेजी, हिंदी और पंजाबी तीन भाषाओं में  बनी फिल्म ने पहले हफ्ते उसके मुकाबले 60 प्रिंटों पर 2.27 करोड़ रुपए की कमाई करके रिकार्ड बनाते हुए इंगलैंड, आस्ट्रेलिया और न्यूजीलैंड में पहला स्थान हासिल किया।
‘चार साहिबजादे’ देखकर भाव विभोर हुए दर्शकों का मानना है कि निर्देशक ने बहुत ही साहस और चतुराई के साथ संवेदनशील विषय पर बहुत ही सफलता से फिल्म का निर्माण किया है। मालूम हो कि इससे पहले दारा सिंह की  ‘सवा लाख से एक लड़ाऊं’ (1976) से लेकर मंगल ढिल्लों की  ‘खालसा’ (1999) तक कई फिल्मकारों ने सिख धर्म पर फिल्म बनाने का साहस किया है लेकिन उन्हें भारी मुसीबतों और विरोध का सामना करना पड़ा। खालसा पंथ के  300 साला स्थापना दिवस के मौके पर आनंदपुर साहिब में अपनी फिल्म का प्रदर्शन करने पहुंचे ढिल्लो ने बताया था कि वे तो सिख होने के नाते धर्म का प्रचार करना चाहते हैं लेकिन उन्हें फिल्म प्रदर्शित करने की मंजूरी नहीं दी गई। इस तरह कई लोगों ने प्रयास किए लेकिन विफल हो गए।
फिल्म देखने वालों का कहना है कि हैरी बवेजा ने संवेदनशील विषय पर बेहद चतुराई से फिल्म का निर्माण किया है। खालसा पंथ की स्थापना करने वाले कवि, योद्धा, इतिहासकार , रणनीतिकार से लेकर कुशल श्रृद्धालु गुरू गोविंद सिंह (आपे गुरू-आपे चेला) के चार साहिबजादों के माध्यम से जहां सिखों के साहस, वीरता, चतुराई, नेतृत्व क्षमता  का ओम पुरी की दमदार आवाज में शानदार बखान कियागया है वहीं यह सीख भी दी गई है कि नेता वह होता है जो आगे बढ़कर दुश्मनों का मुकाबला करता है, जरुरत पड़ने पर अपने बेटों को भी शहीद होने के लिए भेजता है। 42 सिखों का 10 लाख मुगल सैनिकों से मुकाबला करने वाली जंग का बखूबी चित्रण करते हुए निर्देशक ने इस बात का भी ख्याल रखा है कि सिख गुरू को नहीं चित्रित किया जा सकता,  इसलिए चित्रों के माध्यम से दसवें गुरू की उपस्थित हर जगह प्रदर्शित की गई है।
कई लोगों के मुताबिक युवा पीढ़ी स्पाइडरमैन, सुपर मैन के काल्पनिक चरित्र देखती है उन्हें ‘चार साहिबजादे’ देखनी चाहिए, जिससे असली नायकों से परिचय हो सके और देश के सभी गैर सिखों के यह फिल्म इसलिए देखनी चाहिए कि सिखों के इतिहास के बारे में महज दो घंटों में जानकारी हासिल कर सकें। मालूम हो कि फिल्म के घटनास्थल से लेकर युद्ध में गुरू की ओर से चलाए गए शस्त्र काल्पनिक नहीं बल्कि असली शस्त्रों की तर्ज पर ही बनाए गए हैं।

Sikh Rehat Maryada

Sikh Rehat Maryada
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sikh Rahit Maryada  is a code of conduct for Sikhism. This document was preceded by the Gurdwaras Act of 1925, which laid down the definition of a Sikh.[5] In 1915 and later in 1931, attempts were made to create a modern standard rehat ("code"). In 1950 the current Sikh Rehat Maryada was produced based upon the work of Sikh scholars, seeking to better standardise Sikh practices throughout the international community. The Damdami Taksal have their own version of the Sikh Code of Conduct, the Gurmat Rehat Maryada.

 The Sikh Rehat Maryada addresses key issues such as the definition of a Sikh, personal and communal obligations such as meditation and volunteer service, rules for gurdwara services to include appropriate music and festivals, and the conduct of assorted Sikh ceremonies.
Definition of Sikh
A Sikh is defined as any person male or female who faithfully:
Believes in the existence of One eternal God
Follows their teachings of, and accepts as their only Spiritual guides, the Guru Granth Sahib and the ten human Gurus
Believes in the baptism (Amrit Sanchar), as promoted by the tenth Guru
Does not owe allegiance to any other religion
Sikh living
There are two aspects to a Sikh living. One is the adherence to a personal discipline and the development of a strong family life. The other is the involvement in communal life and to ensure community well-being and infra-structure for support of the weak within the community local and globally. This is the practical aspect of the three pillars of Sikhism promoted by Guru Nanak called Wand kay Shako (share and consume).
Personal life
Naam Japna  - Meditation on God's Name and the recital of the holy scriptures:
To arise in the early hours and recite Gurbani in the morning (Five Banis), evening (Rehras) and night (Kirtan Sohila) followed each time with the Ardas prayer. To remember God at all times and to recite his name whenever possible. (Naam Simran)
Seek only the support of the Almighty Lord before beginning any new task or venture. (Ardas)
Kirat Karni - Leading ones life in accordance with the Guru's teachings:
Engage in an honest profession or other work or course of study.
Promote the family way of life giving time to children in an active way so as to ensure their proper awareness of the Sikh way of life.
To live humbly and with love in an extended family group encouraging Gurmat principles and offering moral support within this extended structure.
Seva – Undertake free voluntary service within the community at Gurdwaras, community projects, hospitals, old peoples homes, nurseries, etc.
At every opportunity to spend ones free time to free community work and devote at least 10% of ones wealth in time or money to support community projects.
To positively support weaker members within the community.
Disciplined Life: The Sikh is commanded by the Gurus to lead a disciplined life and to not follow blindly rituals and superstitions which bring no spiritual or material benefit to the person or community.
Follow the teachings of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib
Do not eat meat that has been slaughtered in a ritualistic way and refrain from using all forms of intoxicants. Some interpret the code more broadly and believe that all non-vegetarian food (meat, eggs, fish) must be avoided. Alcohol and tobacco is strictly prohibited.
Refrain from rituals, superstitions and other anti-Sikh behavior such as gambling, etc.
Apart from one's wife (or husband) to treat all females (or males) as daughters, sisters or mothers (sons, brothers or fathers) depending on their age.
To practice and promote complete equality between the genders; castes; races, religions, etc.
Communal life
The Sikh has a duty to actively contribute to the community outside the family unit. Time needs to be given to the greater Sikh community and the even wider world community. It is the duty of the Sikh to hold a continuous dialogue with all members of the larger community, to treat them as equals, and respect their religions and their customs.
