FULL TRANSCRIPT

Thank you, Sir, for allowing me. I am very surprised that honourable minister has said that this is a very simple thing. But it cannot be a simple thing, it is a question of people’s identity. It is a question of people’s rights. How can proxy vote do the thing?

First of all, when we are trying to abolish all sorts of irregularities from everywhere, we are creating another irregularity by allowing proxy vote. How can we be sure the person who will give the proxy vote will do so exactly as per the original voter’s wishes? One person, who is a genuine voter, probably he or she will be the proxy voter; so one person can give the vote twice? To make it a very foolproof thing is very difficult.

The Government is trying to show that it is thinking about the NRIs. We understand where the vote goes. But they are shedding crocodile tears for the vast migrants in the different states; they will not able to give a proxy votes. So this is irregular and not fool proof at all. Electronic voting system is also not foolproof. Government should think twice or thrice before implementing. Though we are passing the Bill, I think it is irregular and unnatural thing.

FULL TRANSCRIPT

Deputy Speaker Sir, thank you, for allowing me to speak on this Bill.

Sir, the Bill that has been moved by the hon Minister Piyush Goyal and I’m sure the Government will address all the problems that are experienced by the common people of this country and particularly the consumers.

Sir, I would like to bring to the notice of the Union Government that even now many restaurants are charging service charges from the consumers over and above GST. What action has the government has taken to check the control of these offenders? Everyone will agree that the way it has been framed and implemented GST has proved to be great disaster and has affected the normal transactions, trade and commerce throughout the country.

Sir, earlier VAT was introduced throughout India. If there is a shortfall in the collection of GST in comparison to VAT, then central government has taken policy for supplementary of compensation. It was a policy decision taken by the central government that at the time of introduction of GST that different States can demand the compensation if the revenue coming on the account of GST is less than the earlier period. My State Government is not getting the adequate compensation as yet, as was declared by the central government during the introduction of GST. Whether the Government is providing adequate compensation to the states and if they have provided, how much they have given to all the states throughout the country?

The central government should continue to work in close coordination with the States and come out with a clear laid-out road map. With these words I finish my speech.

Thank you, Sir.

FULL TRANSCRIPT

Respected Chairman Sir, thank you for allowing me to speak on this Bill, which seeks to establish and incorporate a National Sports University in the state of Manipur. The significance of sports and fitness in life is priceless. A healthy sports culture leads to an equally healthy society. Sir, sports is a very important and valuable field for the development as a nation as whole which perhaps till now hasn’t been given the importance it was owed.

Sir, ‘Yahan patthar ki imarat ugai kaise? Yahan patthar ki imarat ugai kaise? Jis jagah khel ka maidan hua karta tha.’ Sir, this university will aim to fulfil the void in the sports environment of the country. The Bill raises a few questions and concerns particularly Clause 7. It is pertinent that the university should have autonomy over its functioning and the matters relating to it. Sir, the department of sports should ensure that this provision be in line with other major universities and should not hamper the autonomy of this university.

Sir secondly, Clause 30 of the Bill provides that there should be a university bill for contributions, grants, loans etc. This will provide for the amount received in any other manner from any other source. This will cover any contribution which has not been specifically mentioned in other sub-clauses.

Sir, going into the merits and demerits of the Bill, I have two suggestions. First of all, the NSU should collaborate with premier national institutions like the IITs, IIMs and other such institutes. Sir, since the university will be targeting students, sportspersons, faculties, experts, not only from the country but also from abroad, and since it is being situated in the north east, I request the government that suitable measures be taken by the ministry and the concerned agencies with regards to travel facilities and concessions which can be made.

Next, Sir, the major component of the ‘Khelo India’ scheme is identifying talent and developing them. The NSU should be of immense assistance to the ministry in prescribing procedures and standards for talent identification. The university should be able to generate its own resources to meet or supplement its requirements. In addition to the position made in the Bill under Clause 30, other resources like reaching out to corporate sources under CSR should be allowed, Sir. The outlying campuses could be established in specific regions in the country, which are hubs for specific sports. For example, for wrestling, Haryana is famous; for hockey, Punjab is famous. So. these outlying campuses could be established. Sir, the university should also provide online education for persons living in the rest of the country.

In conclusion, the university should provide a boost to sporting activities in the country and also improve the country’s sports performance at the national and international level and assist in talent identification and development also considerable employment generation opportunities. The Bill is secondly a step towards bringing the nation together to make India a sporting power.

With this, Sir, I commend the Bill to the House and support it.

Saugata Roy speaks on the Supplementary Demands for Grants

FULL TRANSCRIPT

Sir, I rise to speak on the Supplementary Demands for Grants and Demands for excess grants moved by Shri Piyush Goyal, currently holding charge of finance, corporate affairs, railways and coal. (He is ) the most burdened minister in the history of independent India.

Sir, the supplementary demands are to the extent of Rs 11,697 crore, but of this the budget outgo is only about Rs 5,951 crore, and rest are made by savings of the department, to the tune of Rs 5,745 crore.

Sir, before going into the main subject there are some points that need to be mentioned. Mr Venugopal has spoken about the Rafale deal. It is one of the biggest scandals of independent India. The country is going to lose Rs 2,500 crore in the the Rafale deal and the Reliance Aero which is going to make Rs 25,000 crore, which is already in debt. Mr junior Ambani’s company is set to gain Rs 25,000 crore. I think a full fledged investigation should be done on the Rafale deal.

Sir, Mr Nishant was speaking about a certain aspect of the economy. I want to remind Mr Goyal that last month GST collection was less by Rs 40,000 crore and this is not a good state of the economy. I also want to mention Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi. As we know, Mehul Choksi has taken shelter in Antigua and Nirav Modi is God knows where. Till now, I don’t know where is Lalit Modi. I had spoken about the ‘Modi syndicate’ earlier and I hope the government clears the air regarding this.

Sir, Mr Nishant trying to said that the economy is in a very bad position. Let me remind the Government that inflation has touched 5.8% in the highest length. Sir, I may also mention that NPAs have risen to 11.6% of their advances. Many banks have stopped giving advances at all, which speaks very badly about economy.

Sir, the actual number of employees fell to 406 million from 2016 to 2017-18. The government which had promised to provide 20 million employments per year, is actually faced with falling employment.

Sir, the current account deficit is now going to cross 2% in 2018-19. The investment ratio has steeply declined from 31.3% of GDP in 2013-14 and has remained stagnant at about 28.5%. All is not well in the state of Modi (not of Denmark).

Sir, so the government tries to cover it up with polarising stands as they have done in Assam with the NRC, as they will attempt to do maybe in Ayodhya, I shall not deal with that.

Sir, the other thing I want to mention is that Mr Nishant was talking about how India has progressed. May I mention one thing, what is India’s share in the world exports? It is currently 1.8% of the world exports. They say India is the fifth largest economy, Modi Ji ko sab log khatir karte hain, but exports remain at 1.8% and also bank credit growth hit a 20-year low at the present moment. Situation is not very conducive.

Sir, I also want to mention that the government’s announcement of MSP falls far short of Swaminathan Commission report and desire. So how will we give the farmer his due? How shall we prevent farmers’ suicide? These are not very clear.

With this state of the economy Sir, Mr Goyal has come forward with his demands for supplementary grants.

I may mention that the biggest grants in the Supplementary Budget is being given to Air India, to the tune of Rs 980 crore. Sir, what is the state of Air India? Air India is our national carrier. The government had announced that it would disinvest Air India. They could not find a global buyer, global partner in this effort.

Now what is the state of Air India? The pilots are not getting their salaries regularly. When we travel by aircrafts, the air hostesses complain that they are not being paid their incentives. Now, if a pilot has mental unrest, how do I expect him to fly a modern dreamliner? This is putting the lives of the people at risk; these pilots are the best pilots in the world. This is what the Government has done talking about disinvestment in Air India for two years.

Sir, I may also mention in this regard other things about Air India. They have a financial restructuring plan, this was approved by previous UPA regime. But that financial restructuring plan has not come through. The Turn Around Plan (TAP) includes budgetary support amounting to Rs 30,231 crore spread over 10 years ie. up to FY 2020-21 and also equity support for the payment of principal/ interest of the non-convertible debentures. The national carrier has a debt of Rs 48,000 crore. I would like to know from the hon Minister, since he has proposed this (amount of) Rs 980 crore for Air India, what is the Turn Around Plan for Air India and how does he hope to write off the debts or deal with the debts?

Sir, the other thing is the rest of the supplementary demands are not very controversial and are all of small amounts so I am not dealing with them at length, Sir. But they have give a supplementary demand of Rs 1057 crore for defence. It is defence which is in peril with regards to Rafael jets. So, defence which has a budget of more than Rs 2 lakh crore, is really in jeopardy, I can mention that, Sir.

The total supplementary grants that has been given, is Rs 1 lakh each to various subjects. At this stage when the Minister has come with this first batch of supplementary demands, there will be more supplementary demands for the current year, I want to ask him that why doesn’t he enlighten the House about the state of the economy? He has spoken a lot about the ‘Ujjwala Yojana’, the ‘Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana’, the ‘Mudra Yojana’. I want to know what is the cumulative effect of all these schemes?

Mr Goyal has held several meetings with bankers but he has not been able to show a way out of the present morass in the banks, with the total Non-Performing Assets amounting to Rs 9 lakh crores, and banks like Dena Bank asked to stop lending altogether. How will the economy develop, how will capital formation take place if the banks, the principle engine of growth in economy, are in such a horrible position?

Sir, one interesting thing I would like to say is that Rs 280 crore, small amount, has been sanctioned for providing grants for creating capital assets for developing modern freight village at Varanasi. Why Varanasi? You have so many places in Bangla on the banks of the Ganges. Why no freight terminal in Bangla? That’s a matter I would like to know.

The other is Ministry of Textiles has been given Rs 1,500 crore. I want to know what the condition of the textile weavers is today. The government subsidies and grants are not reaching them.

All in all we are living in a difficult situation. After demonetisation, the GDP growth had fallen to 6.1%. The Ministry says that ‘green shoots’ are showing, GDP growth may increase this year but the way farmers are committing suicide speaks another tale.

Sir, we have to support supplementary demands for grants because we have to let the government run. But I have to say that all is not well in the state of Mr Modi. The Modis are all escaping from the country; Nirav and Lalit and their friend Mehul Choksi and we don’t know which Modi will escape from the country next.

Thank you, Sir.

Sundarban’s Chowringhee cooperative – A model for eastern India

Posted on | by aitc | Leave a Comment on Sundarban’s Chowringhee cooperative – A model for eastern India

Sundarban Cooperative Milk & Livestock Producers Union Limited’s brand, Sundarini Naturals has been awarded by the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) for its superior quality dairy products. Sundarini has set a benchmark in terms of using organic fertilizers for producing its products.

The group of cooperatives, based in villages of the Sundarbans in South 24 Parganas district, is run by women. More than 3,000 women, across 65 cooperative societies, have earned their much-awaited financial independence through Sundarini. The State Government (Animal Husbandry Department) is directly depositing the money earned by selling the products through cooperatives, in the account of these women.

Now, Chowringhee, a cooperative under Sundarban Cooperative Milk & Livestock Producers Union, and thus a producer of Sundarini Naturals products, has been selected a model for eastern India by NDDB. It is located in Basanti. A training hub would be located in Basanti where people from across eastern India would be trained in superior environment-friendly ways of manufacturing products.

An integrated organic approach has been adopted by the Chowringhee cooperative. Each family raises cows for milk, and their dung is used to produce biogas in a mini-plant. That biogas is used cook meals for the entire family, and the waste product from the plant, in the form of slurry, is used as organic fertilizer in farming. The fertilizer helps in producing grass for the cows as well as rice and pulses. Again, the leftover stalks after cutting the paddy and pulse crops are used as feed for the cows, hens and ducks being raised by the family. Hence, the eggs also become organic products.

Kolkata Police’s innovative campaign for road safety awareness

Posted on | by aitc | Leave a Comment on Kolkata Police’s innovative campaign for road safety awareness

Kolkata Police (KP) has come up with another innovative way to reduce road accidents – using posters depicting scenes from famous films, both Bengali and Hindi, but with the original dialogues replaced with ones creating awareness about traffic safety rules.

A separate cell has been created by KP for this purpose. According to the police, such a move will draw the attention of people more quickly than just plain vanilla messages.

The bike scene from Sholay has been used well in this context – the one when the song ‘Ýeh dosti hum nahin todenge’ happens. Jai is shown saying, ‘Having fun, bro?’ to which Veeru replies, ‘Let’s try something different,’ and climbs on to Jai’s shoulder (second slide). The next scene shows a bloodied Jai lying on the ground, his head on Veeru’s lap, saying, ‘bro … paying the price of reckless driving.’

This series of posters has been posted in Twitter too. Seeing its popularity, Kolkata Police has decided to put up more such posters in the future.

Tapas Mandal speaks on The Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Amendment Bill, 2018

Posted on | by aitc | Leave a Comment on Tapas Mandal speaks on The Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Amendment Bill, 2018

FULL TRANSCRIPT

Thank you, Deputy Speaker Sir, for allowing me to speak on The Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Amendment Bill, 2018. I am much thankful to my party leader, Mamata Banerjee, my other party leaders and Trinamool Congress, and the people of Bengal belonging to the SC and ST communities.

Our leader Mamata Banerjee is trying hard to protect the people from the downtrodden classes. In Bengal, our leader cares for them and that is not my claim. The report itself says that SCs and STs are taken care of very well and are safe in the state of Bengal, as compared to the other States of India.

Today we are very happy to see the Amendment, long awaited and a welcome decision by the Government. The Government has brought this Amendment following huge pressure in this country – agitation and a lot of unrest among the Dalit communities – and due to this huge pressure the Government was bound to come to Parliament with this Amendment. It is not their intention but they have been pressured to do so. My point is that if they were really willing to make this Amendment, why then did they not come up with an Ordinance earlier? The judgement of the Supreme Court came on March 20, in the case Subhash Kashinath Mahajan vs the State of Maharashtra, where the Supreme Court gave the following judgement: “The essence is that the preliminary inquiry must be prior to FIR if the member of the scheduled caste community or scheduled tribe community was harassed by the common people.”

Another concern of mine is that if the Government was really in favour of this Amendment, why then was the judge who gave a judgement against the Dalit community in the Supreme Court appointed by the Government the very next day in the National Green Tribunal? Why? This is against the interests of the scheduled caste and scheduled tribe communities of this country. However, we feel relieved that our party, under the guidance of Mamata Banerjee, supports the Bill and the Amendment since coming to power in Bangla. People from the SC, ST, OBC and minority communities feel safe in our State and Mamata Banerjee cares for them. This is not just our claim but is borne out by the evidence of the public report of the NCRB (National Crime Records Bureau).

If we look at the national statistics, we can see that since 2014, Bihar is the state which has recorded the highest rate of crime against the scheduled caste and scheduled tribe populations. For crimes against the scheduled castes specifically, Madhya Pradesh, a BJP-ruled State is at the top, with 43.4 per cent of the crimes. For crimes against the scheduled tribe population, Rajasthan, again a BJP-ruled state, is at the top, with 12.9 per cent of the crimes. It is a shame for the country that wherever the NDA or the BJP are in power, crimes against SCs and STs are the highest.

Sir, you see, seven members of a Dalit family were publicly beaten up by a group of ‘gau-rakshaks’ for skinning a dead cow in Una town in Gujarat on May 21, 2018. Five people were accused of flogging Mukesh Vaniya, a 30-year old Dalit man, who tried to get out of a factory, to death in Rajkot, Gujarat. So a lot of crimes against SCs and STs have happened in Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and in so many other States where the BJP is in power.

This Amendment proposes that preliminary enquiry shall not be required for registration of a first information report (FIR) against any person and secondly, the investigating officer shall not require approval for arrest, if necessary, of any person. We support these clauses. We support them for the sake of the SC and ST communities. I think nobody in this Parliament will oppose this section and this Amendment because it is a long-pending demand. It is the demand of the depressed classes, it is the demand of the SC and ST communities and all of us support this Amendment.

If we look at the statistics, then we will see over 1.44 lakh cases of atrocities against scheduled castes and 23,408 cases of atrocities against scheduled tribes came for trial before the judiciary in 2016, as per the last available data of NCRB. In the case of scheduled castes, trial was completed in only 10 per cent of the cases and just a fourth of those ended in convictions. In case of scheduled tribes, trial was completed in only 12 per cent of the cases and only a fifth of those ended in conviction. So the number of courts exclusively for cases under the SC/ST Act is very less as compared to the requirement. Out of the 700-odd districts, only 194 have exclusive courts for the SC/ST Act. The other districts also need these kind of exclusive courts to give proper justice to the communities.

Poor rate of convictions point to an unfinished agenda identified with the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The law commonly called the SC ST Act requires all states to provide for an ample number of special courts that can hear cases of atrocities against SC/STs. The rising tendency of atrocities and falling convictions are the concerns of the country right now. Thus almost 90% of the cases filed under SC/ST Act languish at the end of every year and when they do manage to complete trial, on an average five years later, and majority of the accused are acquitted. If we go to the increase of crimes against SC/STs between 2010 and 2016, we will see crime has increased by 10% against SC and 6% against ST. We see a rise of the pending cases against SC and ST. During 2016 pending cases were 91% against SC and 78% against STs. Conviction for crimes against SC/ST during 2016 was only 16% and 2010 it was 38%. My question is it was far better in 2010 where the conviction was 38% and, when this present government took over, the percentage came down to 16%. This means conviction is reduced to very large extent and pendency of the cases are increasing.

As much as 98.6% of all the crimes against Scheduled Castes that came for trial in 2016 did not end in conviction. In the cases of crimes against ST, 99.2 % cases did not see conviction, and this is the failure of the present government. Total 14 states have special courts mandated by Section 14 of the Act. Others have designated district and the sessions courts for this purpose; 10% of the cases of the crimes against SC/ST under police investigation are labelled as false.

So these are the problems that we are having in our country. If we see the crimes and atrocities against persons of SC, we will see high prevalence states like Uttar Pradesh 25.6%, Rajasthan 12.6 %; if we see metropolitan cities, high prevalence of the crimes and atrocities against SC, the cities are Jaipur in Rajasthan, Lucknow, Kanpur in UP. These all are the states ruled by BJP governments. Since 2014, crimes against STs have seen an overall decrease of 3.8% only with a significant drop of 8% in 2015. So it is our concern also. High convictions but huge backlog. The judiciary is the body in charge of enforcing the rights of SC/STs under the Act by conducting a fair trial and convicting in case of guilt. Conviction rate for cases involving SC/ST atrocities are slightly below the all India rate of 21% and for STs 20.8% and are significantly higher in cases involving SC 25%. Conviction rates are particularly low in states like Karnataka, Odisha and Andhra Pradesh. In case of Rajasthan, a lot of incidents and crimes against SC/STs have happened, and at the police investigations stage, a total number of 1,060 cases were disposed by the police due to mistake of fact of the victim. Out of these cases, 691 of these took place in the state of Rajasthan. This is a serious concern where most of the SC/ST people are being beaten up by the mob and in the name of mob-lynching, in the name of hate crimes, mostly the downtrodden people the SC/ST and the minorities are the victims. So, these things happened mostly in the states where the BJP government rules.

Many of the people Honourable members they were talking about Ambedkar and his contributions. I only want to make few points. Ambedkar is now a point of business. BJP is doing business with this name, INC is doing business with this name. We, the common people, we the people from the downtrodden classes, we should not see Ambedkar will be a point of business. Baba Saheb Ambedkar is a father-figure and if we want to respect him, we have to pay respect to the downtrodden community of this country. That is not there in this country specially in the BJP ruled areas.

I want to give some suggestions, number one, establishment of the courts exclusively for SC/ST communities in the whole country, the number of courts is very less as compared to the present requirement. Therefore establishing the maximum number of courts exclusively for the cases for the SC/STs should be established. Vacancies in the courts to be filled up immediately with priority. So that the increasing tendency of the cases could be minimum.

Then, justice, that is the ultimate objective for downtrodden people. They should not wait for a long time. They have to wait for five years, ten years, fifteen years and after that no judgement comes. Therefore speedy justice is required for the people.

Empowerment of the SC/ST community people, that is another issue. By giving them the proper education, legal facilities, you can improve their social status. And lastly, I want to highlight those points, the implement of the Tribal Sub Plan, SC Sub Plan, the implement of funds under these plans. It is required and the diversion of the funds is not required. Deputy Speaker Sir, with these words I from my party rise for supporting this amendment. Thank you.
