I-DAY: PUBLIC SHOOED AWAY [Times of India, Aug 16, 2002]
Times News Network
Panaji: For parents accompanying their children to the Independence Day
function near the state secretariat here, it was a strange experience. 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. (ENDS)

PAKISTAN RENEWS PLEDGE TO PROTECT NON-MUSLIMS
LAHORE: Pakistan on Friday renewed its pledge to
protect the lives and assets of non-Muslims in the
face of armed attacks against Christians.
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.

Mr. Lyngdoh
The Election Commission of India
Sardar Patel Chowk
New Delhi, India
Dear Mr. Lyngdoh:
=20
Reference: When To Hold Gujarat Elections?
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,
