Student activists in Coimbatore protest against Chinese incursion

September 19, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Coimbatore, Sep 19 (ANI): Activists of a right wing students union staged a demonstration Coimbatore against the alleged incursions by the Chinese army into Indian territory.

Activists of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad or All India Student’s Council gathered in Coimbatore city headquarters with banners and placards and demanded central government to take steps to protect the country from Chinese aggression.

” We request the central government and Tamil Nadu government to take important steps against China to protect our nation,” said Saravanan, a protestor.

Officials sources have said that Chinese troops entered nearly 1.5 kilometres into the Indian territory near Mount Gya, which is recognised as the international border by India and China, and painted the word ‘China’ in Cantonese on the boulders and rocks there with red spray paint. The incursions were reported from the area generally referred in the Chumar sector in east of Leh.

The 22,420 ft Mount Gya, also known as “fair princess of snow” by the Army is located at the tri-junction of Ladakh in Jammu and Kashmir, Spiti in Himachal Pradesh, and Tibet. Its boundary was marked during the British era and is regarded as International border by the two countries.

The border patrol discovered the red paint markings on various rocks and boulders along the Zulung La (pass) on July 31 and the Chinese had entered into the area and written “China” all over the place, the sources said.

Indian soldiers later erased the text, writing ‘India’ instead. (ANI)

Smugglers using kids as ‘carriers’ on Indo-Nepal border

September 12, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Kolkata, Sep. 11 (ANI): Smugglers active along the porous Indo-Nepal border are now using children, as ‘carriers’ to smuggle goods like sugar and tobacco.

Hundreds of children, in the age group of six to years, are being hired by the mafia of smugglers to carry out this illegal trade along the Sunauli check point of Uttar Pradesh.

Reportedly, the reliance on children has been so successful in smuggling that the influence of such a modus operandi is even witnessed in West Bengal.

The chosen children are paid around rupees 200 per day for running the errands.

“I travel at least 10 times in a day. I carry five kilograms of sugar in one visit and I get 200 rupees. I also study. I live in Jogiabadi,” said Akhil.

Shree Chand Gupta, President, Indo-Nepal Friendship Organisation contended that it is the poverty stricken parents who are persuading their children.

He added that this trends can turn out to be heinous in the long run if not checked at the right time.

“Today they are carrying sugar but tomorrow they can also smuggle arms and ammunitions on the other side and can work as traitors. Hence officers of both the countries should take a note of this crime as it can also cause a serious threat to the society,” said Gupta.

Physically challenged persons and aged women are also becoming soft targets for smugglers, as they don’t have any regular source of income.

Awareness campaigns in the border villages and schools can put a stop to the malpractice.

“Above all, the customs and the security personnel manning the transit points along the India-Nepal border need to pull up their socks,” Gupta points out. (ANI)

August 21, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Raipur (Chhattisgarh), Aug 21(ANI): Activists of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the students’ wing of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), staged a protest against Rahul Gandhi, visiting the Pandit Ravishankar Shukla University in Raipur on Friday.

They claimed that such visits by political leaders only politicised the campus environment.

Gandhi interacted with members of the National Students Union of India (NSUI), the student wing of the Congress party.

“In the past too, the ABVP has demanded that politicising the university campus should not happen. Earlier, university authorities didn’t allow such activities, but, due to political pressure by Congress workers, the authorities have again given permission to hold programmes on the university campus,” claimed Neelesh Koshal, an ABVP leader.

“ABVP has always maintained that places of education should be kept out of politics,” Koshal added. (ANI)
