Pak’s ambivalence in cracking down on Saeed clear : NYT

September 20, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

New York, Sep.19 (ANI) : Pakistani authorities may have filed cases against Lashkar -e-Taiba (LeT) chief Hafeez Mohammad Saeed, the alleged mastermind of the November 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, but Islamabad’s actions are being considered as a mere ‘hogwash’.

The New York Times, while reporting the actions taken against Saeed, said the ambivalence of Pakistani authorities in cracking down on the LeT’s fouder leader was clear.

The newspaper highlighted that the Pakistan government has never been serious regarding putting a check on Saeed and his covert terror activities being run under the LeT’s charity organization Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD).

“Even after he was placed under house arrest in December, the government took steps to soften the blow, allowing him, for instance, to hold a defiant news conference before his confinement began,” it said.

While the Pakistan government has been maintaining that it is seriously carrying out the probe regarding the 26/11 massacre, and tried to show the same to the international community especially the US by booking Saeed under the anti-terrorism act, its ‘bluff’ was laid bare when Saeed’s lawyer disclosed that the case registered against his client were ‘very weak’.

“I have gone through both the FIRs against Saeed thoroughly. The charges against my client are very weak. He has expressed his views like any other Pakistani,” Saeed’s lawyer AK Dongar told a private television channel.

Pakistani authorities also revealed that they have not received any instructions for arresting Saeed despite the registration of two cases against him. (ANI)

Malaysian spiritual seeker who ‘went through bad karma in India’ leaves for home

September 12, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

New Delhi, Sep. 11 (ANI): A Malaysian spiritual seeker, who landed in a Varanasi jail for violating Indian immigration laws, has finally left for home in Johor.

After being released from jail on August 27, Lim Soon Seng was waiting to obtain his exit certificate from the Foreigners Regional Registration Office in Delhi to leave India.

“I was shattered in prison. All I wanted to do was to heal and help people but I went through some bad karma in India. There were so many legal complications.

“It placed so much stress on my family and me. Now I am free and happy to go home and see my sister,” The Star Online quoted Lim as saying before his departure on a Malaysia Airlines flight for Kuala Lumpur.

A follower of the Krishna Consciousness movement, Lim of Johor landed on the ghats of Varanasi in 2001. For the next six years he diligently renewed his visa as he wandered in orange robes with sadhus and lived a life of solitude.

But Lim’s spiritual sojourn turned into a nightmare when his passport expired in 2005 and he failed to renew it.

For the next 20 months, Lim, in his 50s, languished in Varanasi jail, one of the most crowded and dreaded Indian jails where notorious criminals are held.

Lim was charged under Section 14 of the Foreigners Act, where offenders can face a jail sentence of between six months and seven years.

A German diplomat, who visited the jail to meet a fellow citizen, came across Lim and notified the Malaysian High Commission in Delhi about his predicament.

Once the embassy assured the local district magistrate that he would be repatriated to Malaysia safely, Lim was released. (ANI)

Machines can’t recognise images like humans as yet

September 10, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Washington, Sep 10 (ANI): Computers might have reached a point where they can replicate many aspects of human behaviour, but still they cannot recognize distorted images like humans do, says a team of Penn State researchers.

James Z. Wang, along with Ritendra Datta and Jia Li at Penn State, explored the difference in human and machine recognition of visual concepts under various image distortions.

“Our goal is to seek a better understanding of the fundamental differences between humans and machines and utilize this in developing automated methods for distinguishing humans and robotic programs,” said Wang.

The researchers used those differences to design image-based CAPTCHAs (Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart), visual devices used to prevent automated network attacks.

Many e-commerce web sites use CAPTCHAs, which are randomly generated sets of words that a user types in a box provided in order to complete a registration or purchasing process. This is done to verify that the user is human and not a robotic program.

In the study, a demonstration program with an image-based CAPTCHA called IMAGINATION was presented on imagination.alipr.com.

Both humans and robotic programs were observed using the CAPTCHA.

While the scope of the human users was limited, the results of the study proved that robotic programs were not able to recognize distorted images.

In other words, a computer recognition program had to rely on an accurate picture, while humans were able to tell what the picture was even though it was distorted.

Wang said that he is hoping to work with developers in the future to make IMAGINATION a CAPTCHA program that Web sites can use to strengthen the prevention of automated network attacks.

Although machine recognizability does not exceed human recognizability at this time, Wang is optimistic that it would be possible in the future.

“We are seeing more intelligently designed computer programs that can harness a large volume of online data, much more than a typical human can experience in a lifetime, for knowledge generation and automatic recognition. If certain obstacles, which many believe to be insurmountable, such as scalability and image representation, can be overcome, it is possible that one day machine recognizability can reach that of humans,” said Wang.

The study has been presented in the latest issue of IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security. (ANI)

Pak Govt says it is watching illegal madrassas closely

September 10, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Islamabad, Sep. 9 (ANI): The Pakistan Government has told the National Assembly Standing Committee on Interior that it is monitoring the activities of illegal madrassas in Islamabad.

While responding to concerns expressed by the legislators over unregistered madrassas, Chief Commissioner Fazeel Asghar said there were 140 seminaries in the city, out of which 122 were registered.

The Daily Times quoted him, as saying that the rest were operating illegally and the government was trying to get them registered soon.

The members had expressed fears that a Lal Masjid-like situation may arise if the government doesn’t take action soon.

The members, including former interior minister Aftab Ahmed Khan Sherpao, said it was a matter of great concern that 18 seminaries were still operating ‘illegally’ despite the government’s orders making registration mandatory. (ANI)

Bank of Baroda becomes a registered bank in New Zealand

September 1, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Wellington, Sep. 1 (ANI): The Reserve Bank of New Zealand has given permission to the Bank of Baroda to begin trading in the country, making it the nation’s 19th registered bank.

India’s third-largest public sector bank first indicated a desire to enter New Zealand when then-chairman Anil Kumar Khandelwel visited the country in 2007, stuff.co.nz reports.

The Mumbai-based lender’s registration was confirmed by the central bank on Monday.

Bank of Baroda may open its first branch in Auckland’s Mt Roskill, according to reports.

The bank’s local operation, which are is expected to begin near the end of the year, is going to target all ethnic communities, not only Indian residents.

Bank of Baroda is in some 70 countries, including offices in Australia and Fiji, and is looking to continue expanding its international operations with a joint venture to open a banking company in Malaysia, according to its latest earnings report.

Overseas business contributed some 23 percent to the bank’s operating profit.

The parent company boosted its net profit some 85 percent in the three months ended June 30 from the same period a year earlier. (ANI)

‘Barbaric’ Taliban chops-off ears and nose of Afghan man for casting vote

September 1, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Kabul, Aug. 31 (ANI): The Afghanistan Taliban slashed off a man’s ears and nose for defying their order and casting his vote in the country’s presidential elections.

Lal Mohammed, 40, was on his way to the polling station on August 20 when he was held by Taliban militants, beaten brutally, and then had his nose and ears slashed off.

“I was stopped by three men with AK-47 rifles and bandoliers of ammunition, who did not hide their faces and identified themselves as Talibs. When they found electoral registration papers in my pocket, they began beating me.

“Then one man sat on top of my chest and got out a knife and I began to feel terrible pain when he slit my nose. I was passing out, but another man was still using knives and there was more pain, I could feel blood all over my face. I thought it was better to die,” The Independent quoted Mohammed, as saying.

To make matters worse, the farmer has not received any serious medical treatment for three days because one of the main hospitals in the Afghan capital said it had no room to keep him due to chronic overcrowding.

“The journey on the donkey was very hard, I did not think I would survive that, the road was bad and my face was really hurting. I was very happy when I got to the hospital. But they said they had no beds and I was told to come back in a few days,”

Mohammed’s fate explains why so many people throughout the country didn’t vote.

Eminent Afghan and international figures had encouraged citizens to defy the Taliban and vote in the elections. Yet, the authorities’ apathy in Mohammed’s case doesn’t seem very reassuring to voters.

One of Mohammed’s friend said: “All the foreigners, people like Karzai, said we should go out and vote. But look what happened to Lal Mohammed. Will they look after him now? They have not given him medicine, we are having to gather food for him.” (ANI)

Australia announces new measures to safeguard education for overseas students

August 19, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Canberra (Australia), Aug.19 (ANI): The Australian Minister for Education, Julia Gillard, today warned education providers that they risk being shut down if they don’t comply with rules relating to international students.

Gillard was speaking in the Australian Parliament at the introduction of an Amendment Bill to the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act 2000.

Under the new rules being considered by the Australian Parliament, all education institutions currently registered on the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS) will be required to re-register under new, tighter criteria by December 31, 2010.

The Bill adds two new criteria for registration: the provider must have the principal purpose of providing education; and the provider must have demonstrated a capacity to provide education of a satisfactory standard.

The process will allow the Australian Government to review the registration of education providers to ensure they are providing quality education services to international students visiting Australia. Most providers are doing the right thing, but this change will help weed out the shonky operators.

The state governments of Australia have already started rapid audits of providers, and these will be extended so that all providers working with international students will need to show they have the best interests of the students at heart and not simply a profit motive.

The Bill will also introduce new processes to ensure greater transparency and accountability of international education providers, including their use of education agents.

The amendments are the first in a series of measures the Australian Government is taking to ensure Australia continues to offer quality international education.

The Australian Government has also announced a full review of the ESOS Act to be headed by Bruce Baird with an interim report due in November 2009. International students will be able to have their say at the upcoming International Student Roundtable in September 2009.

Gillard will visit India from August 29 to September 4. (ANI)

Jackson fans flood website handing out memorial tickets

July 4, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

London, July 4 (ANI): Nearly half a billion Michael Jackson fans flooded the website handing out tickets for the King of Pop’s funeral at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Fans were told to register on www.staplescenter.com to enter the draw for 17,500 free tickets to grab a chance to attend the two-hour funeral on July 7.

Devotees swarmed the site within hours of the shock draw news, leaving the website crashing a few times.

More than 8,000 fans will learn if they have been lucky enough to land a pair of tickets on July 5, after the registration closes on July 4.

“It is the family’s wish to create a service and a celebration that all of Michael’s fans around the world can be part of,” The Sun quoted Staples Center boss Tim Leiweke as saying.

Meanwhile, preparations were being made for the expected massive turnout outside the Staples Center for the ceremony, which will be broadcast live globally.

Jackson died aged 50 on June 25 at his Los Angeles home from an apparent cardiac arrest, which was believed to have stemmed from prescription drugs. (ANI)

Over 100,000 NGOs operational in Pakistan

June 30, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Islamabad, June 30 (ANI): Over 100,000 non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are currently operational in Pakistan, the country’s National Assembly has been informed.

Federal Minister for Social Welfare and Special Education Samina Khalid Ghurki informed the NA in a written statement: “It is estimated that there are more than 100,000 NGOs working in the country. However, due to fragmented legal and regulatory framework, exact number of NGOs is not known.”

She said the ministry has developed a national NGO database to address the issue.

The new database contains details of 45,000 NGOs, which have been registered under different laws.

There is more than one law under which an NGO could be registered at federal, provincial and district level governments.

She clarified that her ministry was neither the registration nor the monitoring authority under any of the existing laws, which govern NGOs in the country.

However, Ghurki said, the ministry had taken a number of steps to facilitate strengthening of monitoring mechanism to be adopted by regulatory authorities.

They are also developing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for the NGOs containing internationally accepted best practices in the areas of internal governance, financial transparency and program delivery, she added.

People not in favor of new privacy curbing Internet law in China

May 26, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

New Delhi, May 26 (ANI): A new Internet law in China that demands netizens reveal their real names when online is not being policed almost one month after its implementation.

The Hangzhou municipal government in Zhejiang province has required Internet portals under its administration to ask for the real identity of their users from May 1.

The law is designed to protect national security, social order and the social moral system.

However, nearly one month after enactment, netizens can still post opinions on most of the city’s popular bulletin boards without registering their personal details.

A spokeswoman surnamed Zhou from 19lou.com, a popular local online forum, said that authorities had not yet asked the website to change its registration process.

“It could be quite complex if the regulation comes into force because our system doesn’t support real name registration, it might still take some time,” Zhou said.

A recent online survey by qq.com found about 78 percent of those polled, or more than 35,000 people, were not in favor of the law.

“The law may be able to curb online rumors and violence, but it may also violate our privacy and freedom of speech, as well as discourage online supervision over political corruption,” a netizen called Baiyunzhijia wrote on bbs.zhoushan.cn.

“The Internet has played a key role in the supervision of government work and in the fight against corruption in recent years,” said another online user Dazhanpeng.

“It would have been impossible for Zhou Jiugeng, former director of a real estate management bureau in Jiangsu province, to have been pulled from his post unless online photographs exposed his lavish lifestyle last year,” the user added.

According to Li Li, deputy director of Shanghai Information Law Association, the law still faced challenges if it were to be executed.

“It is difficult to implement because people in Hangzhou still have the choice to browse websites in other cities if they don’t want to provide their real identities,” he said.

“Netizens already know that even if they don’t use their real names, they could still be tracked through their IP address by authorities. The regulation has only angered them by making that point explicit,” he added. (ANI)

West needs to do more for Pak’s displaced persons: Gilani

May 25, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Lahore, May 25 (ANI): Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has urged the international community and especially the United States and the West to ‘do more’ for his country’s Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).

He also appealed to all people in Pakistan and the rest of the world to generously assist the IDPs, adding that the whole world would benefit once the Swat operation is over.

According to The Nation, he told a news agency that the international community had in the past alleged that certain institutions were not cooperating with the government, but the fact was that the entire nation and all institutions were united in the operation against the extremists and terrorists.

“We are proud of our armed forces and jawans, who have laid down their lives during Swat operation to purge the valley of terrorists and extremists,” Gilani said.

The government was ensuring the registration of IDPs so that they could be conveniently rehabilitated in their original places, he added.

He said only 20 per cent of the IDPs are being housed in camps, while the 80 per cent are living with the relatives at safer places.

He said the IDPs were in need of desert and water coolers, fans, cotton clothes, slippers, mosquito repellent oil, net and coil, drinking water, milk, biscuits and other items, which could provide instant relief.

The Prime Minister also said that he had ordered for providing salaries to government employees, who have been internally displaced. Steps would also be taken to enable the IDPs who own bank accounts in their respective areas, have access to the facility at their temporary residences. (ANI)

Aid bodies, Lanka Government tussle over war-zone access

May 21, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Pune, May 21 (ANI): The United Nations and other aid agencies are clamoring for unfettered access to the war zone in Sri Lnaka, which they say is crucial to aid the wounded and to lay the groundwork for rebuilding trust in the divided island nation.

“The international community must require the prompt deployment of international monitors to be stationed in critical locations, including registration and screening points, displacement camps, and places of detention,” Sam Zarifi, Amnesty International’s Asia Pacific director, told the Christian Science Monitor.

Journalists, independent observers, and aid groups have been persistently denied access to the region. Even now, with the government having announced victory against the rebels this week, the region still remains inaccessible, raising concerns for the fate of those civilians who have remained behind or are too sick or injured to flee.

“There’s only one thing you can surmise from this. The government doesn’t want the world to see what happened there – or is currently happening there,” claimed Paikiasothy Saravanamuttu, executive director of the Colombo-based Centre for Policy Alternatives.

The International Committee of the Red Cross too denied it has had free access to the war zone.

“The government has started over the past weekend to restrict access of humanitarian aid to the biggest IDP [internally displaced persons] camp, called ‘Menik Farm’, near Vavuniya,” says Marçal Izard, ICRC’s Geneva-based spokesman.

“It is clear that we are very concerned about this current access problem, because there are tens of thousands of IDPs who just have been transferred to the camp recently, following their evacuation out of the battle zone days ago.

Those people are especially vulnerable and need help now,” he added.

According to United Nations estimates, more than 7,000 people have been killed since January alone, and aid groups are pressing for unfettered access to provide aid to 265,000 people, including 80,000 children.

However, Mahinda Samarasinghe, Sri Lanka’s Human Rights Minister rejected the charge, and said in an telephone interview that 52 accredited non-governmental aid organizations, national and foreign, have been given access to about 41 relief camps in northern Sri Lanka.

Samarasinghe denies there was any letup in relief access to relief camps. But he accepts that the war zone remains strictly out of bounds.

“We will only provide aid groups access to places where they have a role to play,” he said. (ANI)

Amarnath yatra registration for pilgrims begins

May 21, 2009 By admin 1 Comment

Jammu, May 21 (ANI): The registration for the annual pilgrimage to the Hindu cave shrine of Amarnath in Jammu and Kashmir commenced across the country on Wednesday.

The pilgrimage spread over two months is scheduled to begin on June 6.

At Jammu and several other places, the pilgrims were seen in long queues to register their names.

Jammu and Kashmir Bank has been authorised by the government to register the intending pilgrims.

Around 110 branches of the bank spread over the country will facilitate the registration of the pilgrims.

According to Madan Gupta, Vice President (Central Zone) of J and K Bank has said that facilities like mobile ATMs and banking facilities at the base camp are the latest additions this year.

“We are doing bookings up to 3,00,000 in this counter and through Internet up to 1,20,000 bookings. We request people to get their bookings done through Internet because it would be more convenient. For pilgrims, we have arranged mobile banking facilities at the base camp, which will remain for June 6 to August 5. ATM facility will be available round the clock. We would be providing the pilgrims with on-the-spot banking facilities at the base camp,” Gupta added.

He further said that in Jammu, the bank has set up an extra counter at the Exhibition Ground for registration, which will remain open on week days from 3.p.m in the afternoon till 6.p.m. on weekdays and on Saturday from 1.p.m to 4.p.m. in the afternoon.

The registration will close on July 30.

“Every year we go on this pilgrimage. We pray to Lord Shiva for the pilgrimage journey to proceed smoothly this year unlike last year,” said Rajkumar, a pilgrim.

The Amarnath pilgrimage will culminate on August 5, which according to Hindu almanac is the Shravana Purnima (full moon in the monsoon month of Shravana).

Every year a large number of devotees trek the steep, slippery 48-km route to reach the Amarnath cave shrine, which stands at a height of nearly 12,500 feet above sea level. (ANI)

Gilani says losing Swat war publicly will be unfortunate

May 15, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Islamabad, May 15 (ANI): Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has expressed fear that the Pakistan Government may fail to win the “hearts and minds of people” despite winning the military war against the Taliban in the Swat Valley.

“I assure you that the army will win the war against the militants. But if we win militarily and lose publicly that will be very unfortunate,” the Daily Times quoted Gilani, as saying.

Gilani assured the National Assembly that the Pakistan Army will win the war against the Taliban, but urged the political leadership to back government efforts to win the hearts and minds of the people of the violence-hit areas.

“We are fighting two wars. One is against the militants in the field, and the second is to win the hearts and minds of the people,” he said.

Speaking on his government’s plans to rehabilitate half a billion of internally displaced people, Gilani said the displacement was unprecedented in the country’s history, “and we will tackle this problem with unprecedented sense of sacrifice”.

“The government has established the Special Support Group – headed by an experienced army officer – to take care of the registration and welfare of the IDPs in relief camps,” he said. (ANI)
