Don't shed crocodile tears but act: Cong to PM on dalits

August 8, 2016

New Delhi, Aug 8: A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi slammed those indulging in atrocities on dalits, Congress today created uproar in the khargeLok Sabha, saying he should "not shed crocodile tears" but "act".

Congress members demanded that the Prime Minister should speak on the issue in the House rather than "tweet". They staged a walkout later.

Soon after the Zero Hour, Congress members stormed the Well of the House when Speaker Sumitra Mahajan did not immediately allow party leader Mallikarjun Karge to raise the issue.

The Speaker said she would allow Kharge to speak but only after she finishes with the Zero Hour list as she has not got any notice. She repeatdely appealed to the Congress members to go back to their seats.

"I will allow him to speak. I have never said no to it, but let me be done with the (Zero Hour) list. There are many smaller parties here and it will be an injustice to the members," she said.

Home Minister Rajnath Singh as also the Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Ananth Kumar were seen gestering to Kharge suggesting that a way could be found out through informal talks.

Congress members were unrelenting and demanded that the Prime Minister come to the House and speak on the issue.

"He (the PM) should not shed crocodile tears. He should not tweet, but act (against those perpetrating atrocities on dalits)," the Congress MPs chanted.

Congress members were in no mood to relent and staged a walkout. In an outreach to Dalits against the backdrop of the Una flogging incident, Modi, at an event in Telangana, yesterday decried the attempts to politicise the issue of atrocities on dalits and said he is ready to get "shot and attacked" in place of his Dalit "brothers".

The present situation of Muslims and Dalits are not because of Modi, it is because of Congress Government. It ruled 60 years and took maximum benefit from both the community and did nothing.
Maximum number of muslims youth gone to jail for decades and finally court released them without any evidence they were jailed during Congress Government not BJP government. Yes BJP is stabing these community in front but congress was stabing for 60 years behind.
Now you (congress) has no right to criticize Modi. Atleast he said something but you (congress) never admitted for your fault.
Sachar committee report was released during congress government but congress did nothing to implement it.

New Delhi Aug 6: In a new twist in the Vijay Mallya case, a certain document connected with the case in the Supreme Court has gone missing from the apex court files. 

A bench comprising Justices U.U. Lalit and Ashok Bhushan adjourned the hearing to August 20.

It was hearing the review plea filed by Mallya against a July 14, 2017 judgment wherein he was found guilty of contempt for not paying Rs 9,000 crore dues to banks despite repeated directions, although he had transferred $40 million to his children.

The bench was looking for a reply on an intervention application, which it seemed has gone missing from the case papers.Parties involved in the case sought more time to file fresh copies.

On June 19, the Supreme Court sought explanation from its registry regarding Mallya's appeal against the May 2017 conviction in the contempt case for not repaying Rs 9,000 crore dues to banks not listed for the last 3 years.

A bench comprising Justices Lalit and Bhushan had asked the Registry to furnish all the details including names of the officials who had dealt with the file concerning the Review Petition for last three years.

The bench said according to the record, placed before it, the review petition was not listed before the court for last three years. "Before we deal with the submissions raised in the Review Petition, we direct the Registry to explain why the Review Petition was not listed before the concerned Court for last three years," said the bench.In May 2017, the apex court held him guilty of contempt of court for transferring $40 million to his children, and ordered him to appear on July 10 to argue on the quantum of punishment.

The bench said let the explanation be furnished within two weeks. "The Review Petition shall, thereafter, be considered on merits," it added.In 2017, the apex court passed the order on a contempt petition against Mallya by a consortium of banks led by the SBI. 

The banks claimed Mallya transferred $40 million from Daigeo to his children's accounts, and did not use this money to clear his debt. Banks cited this as violation of judicial orders.
