Woman - Lok Sabha Speaker

It is like honouring a woman ,and who better than Ms. Sonia Gandhi could be, to implement the same ,initiated a move to install a woman Lok Sabha Speaker for the 15th Lok Sabha. Among the many names floating, the name of Water Resources Minister in the new Government, Meira Kumar ,hardly two three days after being sworn in, was picked by the Congress High Command for the position of Lok Sabha Speaker though officially not yet confirmed.
Mrs Sonia Gandhi Congress President and also Head of the Congress Core Committee, met at the Prime Minister's residence last evening, the initial favourite V Kishore Chandra Deo lost out to two women in the final round, the other being Girija Vyas.
Mr V Kishore Deo who had earned a reputation for his diligence as the Chairman of the Privileges Committee and won the Lok Sabha seat from Araku in Andhra Pradesh was also in the running initially,however things are now settling around two women Ms. Girja Vyas and Ms. Miera Kumar .Party leaders felt that by naming a woman if elected, she will be the first woman in the Chair of the House and a woman Dalit for the post, they would send a powerful political message. The Congress has eight Dalits from within its ranks, in the new ministry, five in the Cabinet, and three as Ministers of State, including one with independent charge.

The Union Cabinet on Saturday met for the first time and is understood to have discussed and approved the President's address to the joint sitting of Parliament on June 4.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh chaired the meeting which was also attended by Ministers of State with Independent charge.

Amitabh Bachchan's Refusal to Accept Doctorate Degree

For the last about one month and also at this very juncture the Indian Students ,studying in Australia ,are being racially discriminated and both physically and mentally assaulted, and in the process about 4 students ,in different part of Australian cities, have been brutally attacked, and all of them have been admitted in various hospitals ,in Australia and fighting, life and death, and one /two of them are placed on ventilator (life support apparatus) .
Sri S.Krishna External Affairs Minister , Government of India , has expressed its concern , and expressed its unhappiness in no uncertain terms , and the protest has been lodged at the Australian Consulate. It is irony that the Australian Police have not been able to check the crime committed in Australia,against Indian students, and even when the Police claimed that mischief mongers and among the many, few attackers having been identified.
The gravity of the problem can be gauged from the fact that the Australian Prime Minister has accepted the fact that Indians have been singled out for attacks. Many Indian students have openly expressed, through interviews to different news channels and journalists, that they are living in fear, and are not sure about their own security nor do their family feel safe .
Australia must remember that India shares a very good rapport with the Australian people and its Government and the Government should ensure that mischief mongers do not disturb the fabric of faith, friendship,bond, and also the very image of Australia is involved in the process and the world bodies are not only closely watching and monitoring the situation with anxiety and hope. The first fallout of such a situation is Living Legend Sri Amitabh Bachchan's refusal , even after giving his consent, to accept the Doctorate Degree from Queensland University Australia , and his refusal ,at this juncture is rightful, because it will be widely reported through media , the grave situations Indians are facing in Australia, and Mr Amitabh Bachchan's refusal act is .in a way is a registered PROTEST , before all the World bodies including the U N O in general and Australians in Particular, and the Government of Australia should act now and fast. Mr Amitabh Bachchan refusal ,even after giving his consent is right , and a mature conduct viz a viz his personality. Even otherwise had Mr Bachchan had not refused he would have been condemned by one and all-INDIANs. Let our NAtional leaders take a leaf from Mr Amitabh Bachchan, only a ALLAHABADian could have dared.

Indian National Congress under the able leadership of Smt Sonia Gandhi , Chairperson of the Party, Sri Rahul Gandhi General Secretary of the Indian National Congress and Incharge of Uttar Pradesh, and last but not the least Smt Reeta Bahuguna Joshi ,President of Uttar Pradesh Unit of Indian National Congress, for their collective efforts, deserve kudos to bring back Uttar Pradesh back on the Congress fold, and, in returning Congress Lok Sabha nominees, elected as Lok Sabha Members. It is indeed heartening to see that in Uttar Pradesh, Congress has performed exceedingly well, and 21 plus of its Lok Sabha candidates have won the Lok Sabha Elections 2009. It now appears that the electorate has returned to the Congress fold, and if one reads the pattern in this election National Parties have done well as compared to Regional parties, which do politics on caste lines. A Good Beginning indeed !Thank You Electorate .
