Police has been politicized-CPI

Some victims spoke of their grievances before media

Ludhiana: 14 March 2016: (Punjab Screen Bureau):

In the present days the situation of Law and order has deteriorated. Police which is supposed to be the guards of Public in general and labourers and dalit class, down trodden people in particular has become danger for them. Police has been politicized. Communist Party of India has been supporting and siding cause of the depressed and oppressed people who have been the target of unjustified excesses of police. False complaints are being registered against poor labourers and dalit people, extracting money from the pockets and thrashing them has become the daily routine matters of the local police. When the victims of excesses approach the police, lodging of the complaints are denied under the pressure of influential politicians. There is lot of hue and cry among the people because of this nexus between a section of the police, politicians and goonda elements.  The poor people are kidnapped and are forced to sign on the blank papers by the land mafia who grab the land of the poor people who have with hard labour saved a few pennies and are robbed of this. The mafia also indulge in throwing the goods of the household forcibly, they deny giving receipts for the rent. Even accident deaths are not taken care of properly by the police and proper investigation is not done. The victims of excesses by the criminals are illegally detained in the police stations. CPI activists have even met as deputation to the higher police officials but to no avail. In a press conference today some victims spoke of their grievances and no inquiries have been done into their complaints despite several deputations.  Twenty such cases were presented in the press conference which were from different areas of the city and different police stations.

NASA Administrator Pays Tribute to Astronaut Scott Kelly

Mon, Mar 14, 2016 at 10:14 PM

We will never forget the 700 stunning images he posted

The following is a statement from NASA Administrator Charles Bolden on the retirement of astronaut Scott Kelly:

“When the first Americans set foot on Mars, they will be following in the footsteps of one of the finest astronauts in the history of the space program, my friend, Commander Scott Kelly.  After spending an American record 520 days in space – including his Year in Space – I can think of no one more deserving of some well-deserved rest and time on the same planet as his family and friends. 

“All of us in the NASA family -- and indeed in the broader scientific community -- are grateful that he was willing to sacrifice time with his loved ones, meals that don’t come in a bag, a cold beer, hot showers, cool autumn breezes, the sounds of birds chirping, the ability to lay his head on an actual pillow and so much more of the pleasures of life during his year of research and experimentation the International Space Station.

“We will never forget the 700 stunning images he posted to social media, the leadership he demonstrated as ISS Commander for the last six months and, most of all, the impact that all his missions and years of service will continue to have on our Journey to Mars.”

Authority to fix rates of the corporate hospitals demanded

CPI expresses satisfaction at withdrawal of the controversial circular by the DMC

Ludhiana: 4 January 2016: (Punjab Screen Bureau):

The Communist Party of India District Ludhiana has expressed satisfaction at the withdrawal of notice by the DMC management in which they had made it mandatory that if a person has to be admitted in the hospital and needs ICU care has to deposit Rs. 20000/- in advance, for Ventilator Rs. 30000/- and Rs. 50000/- for both, even if it is an emergency and if this happens the money will be recovered from the Junior doctor on duty. Addressing a press conference Com D P Maur Asstt Secretary of the district unit of the CPI said that this circular had anguished the citizens. The Communist party of India (CPI) had held a rally outside DMC & Hospital on 25th July 2015 demanding its withdrawal. The party also submitted a memorandum to the hospital authorities on this but they refused to withdraw it. Then we lodged complaint to the ministry of health, Medical Council of India (MCI), the Punjab Medical Council and the state government that the DMC &hospital is a charitable hospital and is getting all benefits due to the charitable institutions. They have no right to issue such a circular. More over this circular is total violation of human rights as health is the most important right to life. This is also violation of the Supreme Court directives that no hospital can refuse care to a patient in case of emergency because of monetary reasons. Such an act is also violation of code of medical ethics of Medical Council of India. But now we have received communication from the PMC that the DMC has withdrawal the circular. Com Ramesh Rattan- Secretary city unit of the party said that this is a victory of the citizens. The struggle for health to all will continue he said. He further demanded that the government should setup a regulatory authority which should look into the rates of the corporate hospitals   and streamline them as these hospitals are charging exorbitantly. He said that the party had held a rally outside civil hospital few weeks back demanding its up gradation and we shall take up this till it is achieved. Com Gurnam Sidhu – Asstt. Secretary of the city party said that government must be strict towards the pharmaceutical companies who give free bees to the doctors as this adds to the cost of the medicine. The kick backs/cuts and commissions by the doctors and the private hospitals should be immediately stopped. He appreciated the role of the Punjab Medical Council in this regard and criticized the Health Minister Sh.Anil Joshi for unnecessary intervention into the affairs of the council.  He also demanded that healthcare to all must me ensured by the government on the pattern of ESIC. Com Naval Chhibber, Advocate, former President Bar Association Ludhiana said that theyhave formed a group to initiate necessary legal action in such cases which affect public interest. Any move to dilute the ESI scheme will be opposed he said. Others present at the press conference include Comrades Kewal Singh Banwait, Dr Gulzar Pandher, Ramadhar Singh, Anod Kumar, Vijay Kumar, Lalit Kumar, Ram Pratap and Ramreet.

I have resigned due to the attitude of Modi Govt.--Phoolka

Sat, Sep 19, 2015 at 9:07 PM

Modi Govt has gone back from its promise

I have resigned due to the attitude of Modi Government and its apathy towards Justice for victims of 84 Carnage.

I am informed that BJP has stated that I resigned due to attitude of kejriwal, which is absolutely false.

Modi Government has gone back from its promise to punish the guilty, rather has given clean chit to JagdishTytler and not filing that missing chargesheet against Sajjan Kumar.

It has left no option with us then to explore International options. We have already given call for holding demonstration outside UN assembly on 25^th September 2015, when Modi attends it, Will work out other ways of International intervention.

I could not have done all this while being in Politics and having a post in a party. So I quit my post.
