BSP leader held for 2008 clash at law college

May 2, 2011, 12.29am IST

CHENNAI: The police on Sunday arrested Bahujan Samaj Party state president K Armstrong, following a direction from the Supreme Court on Friday, for the November 2008 students' clash at the Dr Ambedkar Government Law College in Chennai.

Armstrong, who had contested the recently-held Assembly election from Kolathur, was arrested from a hotel in Purasaiwalkam on charges of instigatng violence and produced before a judicial magistrate in Saidapet. The court, however, asked the police to produce at a George Town Court on Monday morning.

A special team earlier had found him at the hotel after a day-long search. "Initially, he did not cooperate with us. Then, after we showed him the arrest warrant he relented," a senior police officer said.

The Madras high court had on Saturday granted anticipatory bail to advocate S Rajinikanth, another person mentioned in the Supreme Court order in the case relating to the students' clash at the Dr Ambedkar Government Law College.

Justice T Sudanthiram granted the relief to Rajinikanth at a special sitting at his residence. He said the advocate should furnish an own bond for Rs 10,000 with one surety and should appear before the police as and when required. Armstrong had also filed an advance bail petition, which was dismissed as withdrawn.

The anticipatory bail applications came in the wake of the Supreme Court on Friday directing the Tamil Nadu Director-General of Police to file an affidavit explaining why the accused mentioned in the charge sheet as "absconding" were not arrested.

On November 12, 2008, a group of students armed with deadly weapons attacked another group in full public view, leaving four persons seriously injured. An altercation over the printing of a pamphlet to mark the Thevar Jayanthi celebrations on October 30 had led to the clash, according to sources .

The students who were involved in the clash had also demanded the arrest of BSP leader Armstrong, who they alleged, had instigated the violence.

Karnataka to Enforce Cow Slaughter Ban

Bangalore, Feb 10 (IANS) : The Karnataka government will enforce a ban on cow slaughter strictly by amending a 1964 act to prohibit the sale and consumption of beef, Home Minister V.S. Acharya said Wednesday.

“An amending bill will be introduced in the coming budget session to make cow slaughter, sale of cows and consumption of beef a cognizable offence under a new law,” Acharya told reporters after a cabinet meeting here.

The amending bill will replace the Karnataka Prevention of Cow Slaughter and Cattle Prevention Act, 1964. According to section four of the proposed bill, no person shall slaughter or intentionally kill any cattle. The definition of cattle in the bill includes cow, calf, bull, bullock, and buffalo. Section five of the proposed bill prohibits sale, use and possession of beef.

The cabinet also decided to enhance punishment with seven years imprisonment and a penalty of Rs.100,000 for serious offences against cows.

“The minimum punishment will be one year imprisonment and a fine up to Rs.50,000 for smaller crimes against the domestic animal,” Acharya said.

The month-long budget session will commence Feb 25 with an address by state governor Hans Raj Bhardwaj to the joint legislature and the state budget will be presented March 5.

In a related development, the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) protested against the cow slaughter ban and criticised the first Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in the state for hurting the sentiments of Dalits, Muslims and backward classes with an anti-retrograde measure.

“Each individual is entitled to his/her own food habits. The government has no right to force people to not consume a particular food,” BSP vice-president N. Mahesh said.

Mayawati Answers to BJP Allegations

SUBMITTED BY SHANKER PRADHAN ON TUE, 04/26/2011 - 15:23

Bahujan Samaj Party leader, Mayawati has requested that Dalits should be included in the Lokpal Bill committee. The demand was rejected by Bharatiya Janata Party leader Ravi Shankar Prasad who said that the BSP had a lot to answer to before making requests.

Shankar Prasad called the BSP government anti-Dalit because it has not made any major changes to Dalit welfare in Uttar Pradesh. Furthermore, he said that the state’s government failed to find the murderer of Health Official, B P Singh even 3 weeks after his death on April 2.

The BSP defended itself saying that it reduced crime against women in UP to 11.9% while Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh still reported figures as high as 13.9% and 22.3%, respectively. Mayawati said that her government had filled category posts that lay vacant in the state for years, recruited 20,000 Dalit-caste members as teachers as well as created over 100,000 new jobs for sweepers. Mayawati added that her party remained the only one that took swift action against members that were accused in criminal cases.

The BSP rejected all allegations according to which its government in UP was falling apart and told the BJP to monitor the performance of its own state governments more closely.
