The police did not allow them anywhere near the venue for security reasons. While there was no threat from any organisation, the entire area was cordoned off much before the function began. Members of the public were asked to stand half a kilometre away from the venue. Only those people with invitation cards were allowed to enter and occupy the seat after a security check. Such invitations were given to ministers, MLAs, government officers and other employees besides freedom fighters and chosen BJP activists. Several citizens told the police that they would stand and watch the function where Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar would hoist the tricolour, but the police did not budge. A senior police official, however, said there was no threat but the bandobust was a routine exercise. As it was a state-level function, the department had taken extra precautions. 'PRABHAT FERI' A DAMP AFFAIR Times News Network Panaji: More than a thousand school children on Thursday took out a 'Prabhat Feri' (morning procession) in Panaji city on the occasion of Independence Day celebrations. After the procession they all joined the state function near the State Secretariat, where they got drenched due to a mild shower before the flag hoisting. The children were not provided any shelter but were made to stand by the side of th eroad to watch the ceremony.

Rana Ejaz Ahmed, a provincial law minister, told members of the Minorities Advisory Council at a meeting Friday that the government would exercise greater vigilance towards the minority communities. But he pointed out that community policing was needed at this hour to combat crime and protect vulnerable groups. The minister said that in the past too the government had shown respect for the constitutional, legal and social rights of all non-Muslims in Pakistan. "We will continue to ensure these rights," Ahmed told council members. According to the minister, the government had made it easier for the minorities to enter the mainstream through the introduction of the joint electorate system. Ahmed extolled the virtues of the Christian community for its pioneering role in the health and education sectors of the country. He also recalled that Christian members of the united Punjab Assembly had voted in favour of the creation of Pakistan. Friday's meeting was attended by Minority Advisory Council members M M Shad, Dr Munnawar Chand and Jacqueline Tressler. A resolution was passed on behalf of the religious minorities that they would build with the help of the government the edifices of a progressive, emancipated and welfare-oriented society. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

We the undersigned Individuals and Organizations are all Indian citizens and are working for the Motherland in more than one way. =20 Let us share with you the shame that we felt at the killing of innocent people in Gujarat. What has anguished us is the unprecedented barbarity that was visited upon the helpless people of Gujarat mostly Muslim men, women and children. =20 The brutality of rape, killing and burning of living people are truly crimes against humanity. Neither a Hindu nor a Muslim can carry out such pogrom against innocent people. The perpetrators of such crimes are neither Hindus nor Muslims. They are criminals who have gone mad. =20 The whole world was shocked that members of the ruling party and the Sangh Parivar instigated the killing and worse yet it was defended by the leading BJP party stalwarts like the Deputy Prime Minister, Mr. L. K. Advani and even the Prime Minister Mr. Vajpayee did a flip flop on criticizing the inhuman barbarity done under his party=92s Chief Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi. =20 If, BJP is allowed to go to the polls under such tragic circumstances, to cash the votes of misled Hindus with the possibility of winning the election, then India as country will be finished. =20 =20 The same rape, murder and killing of the state will be the norm in other states, where BJP cannot win on its own merit. =20 You and your colleagues have taken an oath to uphold the Constitution of India and in reality so has all the citizens of India, regardless of where we live. =20 You must not succumb to any or all pressures on you to allow early polls when 100,000 are homeless, thousands have fled to other states and many cannot return their own homes for fear of their lives. =20 Therefore, you cannot allow yourself to become a party in this shocking campaign of winning the elections when both Hindus and Muslims are scared to even venture outdoors. =20 We are watching the news very closely and we know that you and other fellow commissioners have stood up again and again for the Democratic and Secular values enshrined in our constitution. =20 History will be the ultimate judge of what you do or not do under the current situation in Gujarat. You are all highly regarded by the public because that you have sufficient power to conduct free and fair elections but not in the next few weeks. =20 Government of the State of Gujarat has failed its citizens by massively mis-managing the distribution of Earthquake Relief that poured in from all parts of India. =20 Today, the plight of the innocent survivors of =91Muslim Genocide=92 is eve= n worse because neither they have received the full compensation that was promised them by the Prime Minister of India or the State Government itself. =20 How can anyone think of going to the polls, when most people cannot even go their own home or feel secure? According to the latest Information Bureau report published in the Times of India, the conditions in Gujarat continues to be disturbed and therefore, it is extremely difficult to hold elections. =20 People of India, nay all the people of the world are looking to you to save the Indian democracy. We are confident that you will make the right decision and allow all Indians to hold their head up high among the citizens of over 200 nationalities. =20 Kindly share your views with us individually or collectively. We are confident that you will make the right decision. =20 Yours In Service To Humanity, =20 Shrikumar Poddar K. S. Sripada Raju S. N.
