Media Conference
Exactly thirteen years ago, on February 28th 2002, India witnessed one of the bloodiest chapters of history when hundreds of Muslims: men, women and children were brutally massacred, raped, looted, dispossessed in towns and villages in various parts of Gujarat; all this was in the wake of the burning of the S-6 bogey of the Sabarmati Express near Godhra the previous day February 27th 2002 in which 59 persons were tragically, burned alive.
Since then, several victim-survivors with support from others, have relentlessly fought for justice and with a hope that one day they will be give n their rightful place in society. Some measure of justice has definitely been delivered; however, all are aware that the main culprits particularly those who orchestrated these dastardly acts have not yet been convicted or even if they have been, they are now out on bail and move around with immunity and with tremendous impunity.
On the other hand, those who have been siding with the victim-survivors in this quest for justice have been hounded and harassed to no end. A classic case is that of Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP), represented by Teesta Setalvad and Javed Anand who have stood resolutely with the victims in the struggle for justice and ensured 126 convictions.
Given the significance of the day and the struggle of many, some victim-survivors (from Naroda Patiya, Citizen Nagar, Ekta Nagar, Faizal Park, Visnagar and Gulberg Society) and other concerned citizens will address the media in order to highlight their concerns and demands. We kindly request you to cover this Media Conference

By ANUPAMA KATAKAM
The Modi government fills the vacancies in the film censor board with persons “proud” of their association with the BJP, after the resignation of Leela Samson and other panel members. By ANUPAMA KATAKAM
“I AM proud to be a BJP [Bharatiya Janata Party] man, and Narendra Modi is my action hero,” said Pahlaj Nihalani, Hindi film producer. For his unstinting loyalty to the party and the Prime Minister, Nihalani has been rewarded amply: he has been made the Chairman of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), or censor board.
In fact, along with him, a band of BJP supporters have secured coveted positions on the board. This action is vintage BJP. In its previous tenure at the head of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government, the party had packed several quasi-government bodies with its own people in what was seen as an effort to further the Sangh Parivar’s saffron agenda.
Essentially, the mass media, especially films and television, are largely secular platforms, and technically should function without any government interference. Positioning profiles such as Nihalani in key posts is causing concern within the film industry and among the liberal-minded. The BJP and other Sangh Parivar organisations have never been apologetic about their views on certain issues relating to religion, women and social norms. Their handling of these topics has been narrow-minded, even bordering on the absurd.
Some members of the film fraternity fear that with Nihalani at the helm, scripts that do not fall in line with the saffron ideology may not get the censor’s nod or an appropriate rating. This would prove detrimental not only to the industry but to the larger issue of freedom of speech and expression, which should have no shackles in a large democracy like India.
“This is the first time since the board was constituted that every single person on it is from the BJP or is linked to it in some manner. There is no semblance of balance on this board,” says the film-maker Rakesh Sharma. “Unfortunately, it always comes down to political patronage or largesse shown by party leaders.”
Nihalani assumed charge on January 19, after the board chaired by Leela Samson resigned en masse ostensibly over the controversy surrounding film certification for MSG: The Messenger of God made by Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, the self-styled spiritual leader who heads the Dera Sacha Sauda (DSS), a Haryana-based spiritual organisation. The entire board had been formed during the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) regime.
In early January, the situation at the CBFC got complicated when the board refused screening permission for The Messenger of God, which was slated for release on January 16. Several Sikh organisations, including the Akal Takht, the highest temporal body of the religion, protested against the release of the film saying it was blasphemous. Some groups organised demonstrations to prevent cinemas from screening the film. While none of the CBFC’s former members is willing to comment on the content of Messenger, the film is said to be a feature-length advertisement on the DSS.
According to an official release from the DSS, the film which stars Ram Rahim in the lead playing himself, is about tackling issues such as drug addiction, alcoholism and gender-related problems that plague today’s youth. Photographs released on the DSS’ website show Ram Rahim in rock-star attire surrounded by assistants dressed in “Men-in-Black” outfits. Industry sources said Ram Rahim made 100 outfits for the film and did many of the stunts himself. Close to 3.5 lakh people were reportedly captured on camera during one of his “shows”.
When the board denied certification for the film, the makers of the film, including Jeetu Arora, who is known for making popular Hindi television serials such as Kyunki Saas be Kabhi Bahu thi, approached the Film Certification Appellate Tribunal (FCAT); it quickly and strangely cleared the film for release. Informed sources maintain that the government may have acceded to the DSS’ demand as it had helped the BJP win the elections in Haryana by openly expressing support to the saffron party.
Leela Samson resigned on the grounds of “interference, coercion and corruption”. She said this was not the first time she faced pressure from the Modi government. There were demands to cut scenes from the film PK, which dealt with organised religion and self-styled gurus. But the board held out.
It was only a matter of time before Leela Samson stepped down. She was serving an extended term until the new government found a replacement. Film observers said she did not fit in with the Modi government’s ideology. Leela Samson had a fairly controversial tenure. There were allegations of corruption, illegal appointments and financial irregularities. Although it is said that she was not directly involved in them, she allegedly did nothing to stop them.
Other BJP supporters who have secured positions on the board are the actor Vani Tripathi Tikoo, the film-maker Ashoke Pandit, and the actor-director Chandra Prakash Dwivedi. Among the nine board members are the film writer Mihir Bhuta; Prof. Syed Abdul Bari, Vice-Chancellor of the Central University of Gujarat; Ramesh Patange, a member of the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh’s Samajik Samrasta Manch; the actor George Baker; the actor-film-maker Jeevitha; and the actor-playwright S. Ve. Shekhar.
How did Nihalani suddenly emerge on the scene? A relatively unknown producer with films that failed at the box office, Nihalani is better known as the younger brother of the film-maker Govind Nihalani, who directed the powerful and award-winning Ardh Satya (1983) and Hazaar Chaurasi Ki Maa (1998). In the 1980s, Pahlaj Nihalani made Shola Aur Shabnam and Andaz and a slew of forgettable films starring Shatrughan Sinha and other yesteryear actors. Shatrughan Sinha, a BJP Member of Parliament, is said to be close to the party high command, and Nihalani, who had served as president of the Association of Motion Picture and Television Programme Producers, has worked with BJP leaders in their public relations and media campaigns.
During the 2014 parliamentary elections, Nihalani was in the limelight when he made a six-minute campaign film titled Har Har Modi Ghar Ghar Modi. Nihalani adapted a traditional Hindu greeting, Har Har Mahadev, to capture audiences across the northern belt of India.
The CBFC is a statutory body under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. It regulates the public exhibition of films under the provisions of the Cinematograph Act, 1952, and so plays a critical role in the film industry. Basically, it decides what can be viewed and what cannot. The board also rates a film (U, PG or A) according to certain criteria such as depiction of violence, obscenity, and explicit material. The CBFC’s nine regional offices issue certification for films in regional languages.
Rakesh Sharma said a powerful body such as the censor board should have a balanced panel representing a cross section of society that was qualified to take an informed decision. Unless a film gets a certification from the board, it cannot be viewed, distributed or sold.
Sharma, whose film Final Solution, which documented the 2002 Gujarat riots, was not given clearance for screening, said the debate on censorship was ongoing and that the ideal situation would be to make the CBFC a ratings agency to decide which category a film should fall into. If there is an issue with a film, then a second-tier body, on the lines of the Press Council of India, should be tasked to handle it. Members of the panel of such a body should comprise social scientists, jurists and those who understand the creative mind, he suggested.
For instance, if a film like PK was cleared, then why not The Messenger of God? Sharma said in the absence of non-partisanship, “we can say goodbye to watching films such as PK and Haider”.
Nihalani has promised to repair the “battered” image of the censor board. He also made references to snipping issues such as nudity and vulgarity, indicating that the board is already showing signs of moral policing, which Parivar affiliates are notorious for.
Films have faced bans or scene cuts before depending on how they affected the party in power. In 2014, the Congress-led UPA government did not allow certification for Kaum De Heere, a film on the assassins of Indira Gandhi. Other films that did not get certifications are The Pink Mirror (2004), for its homosexual content; Black Friday (2005), for depiction of the Mumbai serial blasts; and Amu (2005), on the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. A bunch of films had to make cuts before obtaining certification.
Films made in India are clearly a crucial part of the country’s social and creative fabric. They capture the attention of millions and are influential in transmitting information and messages. It is, therefore, important for the BJP and the Sangh Parivar organisations to capture this section of mass media. “They want to impart their values and nationalistic agenda. They will have to entrench themselves in the industry to do this,” an industry observer said.

islamic posts
In the past people learned Islam from the behavior of Muslims. But today we have to tell people "Don't judge Islam by the actions of the Muslims." Islam is not what Muslims do, but what they are supposed to do.

But whenever good came to them, they said: “Ours is this.” And if evil afflicted them, they ascribed it to evil omens connected with Musa (Moses) and those with him. Be informed! Verily, their evil omens are with Allah but most of them know not.
پھر جب ان پر خوشحالی آتی تو کہتے: یہ ہمارے ہی لیے ہے، اور اگر انہیں بدحالی آ لیتی تو اسے موسٰی اور ان کے ساتھیوں کی نحوست ٹھہراتے۔ خبردار! ان کی نحوست اللہ کے پاس (مقدر) ہے اور لیکن ان میں سے اکثر (لوگ) نہیں جانتے۔

Cancer not beyond us - World Cancer Day
| Chittaranjan National Cancer Research Centre on Expansion mode to meet increasing clinical load Cancer not beyond us is the tagline of World Cancer Day, 2015 | ||
*Dr. Jaydip Biswas
Worldwide cancer statistics are estimated at 14.1 million new cancer cases and 8.2 million cancer related deaths in 2012. It is estimated that there would be a substantive increase to 19.3 million new cancer cases per year by 2025, due to growth and aging of the global population. More than half of all cancers (56.8%) and cancer deaths (64.9%) in 2012 occurred in less developed regions of the world, and these proportions have been indicated to increase further by 2025.
Cancer is a disease where myth can bring an end to a life. Under such circumstances when India along with many other nations of the world is on the verge of a disastrous cancer epidemic, cancer awareness and prevention should be the prime focus. In view of this, the world cancer day which is observed annually on 4th February is an initiative to raise awareness against cancer and to encourage efforts in prevention, detection and treatment. United Nations in the year 2011 had adopted a World Cancer Declaration which included an important issue to “dispel damaging myths and misconceptions” about the disease. Last year i.e. in 2014, the focus was on dispelling damaging myths and misconceptions about cancer under the tagline “DEBUNK THE MYTHS”. In 2015, a year has passed and the tagline has changed. This year the World Cancer Day has a contemporary stand point, which is ‘Not beyond us’.
The World Cancer Day 2015 is expected to undertake positive and proactive approach to the fight against cancer. The theme of this year will highlight that the solutions for cancer do exist and they are not beyond our reach: they are very much accessible for all. This year’s campaign intends to explore how to implement known areas of cancer prevention, early detection, treatment and care, and in turn, open up to the exciting avenues that will leave an impact on the global cancer burden – for the betterment of the society. This day is marked with hope and opportunities to raise awareness. The cumulative effort of an individual, a community and governmental would help to harness and mobilise these solutions and catalyse positive change. Thus though a dreadful disease, it is not beyond our scope. Together we stand and it will be easy to curb and fight the disease. Therefore, Cancer is not beyond us. This year emphasis has been put on four key areas, these are adopting healthy lifestyle, advocating early detection, imparting treatment for all, thereby maximising quality of life.
Chittaranjan National Cancer Institute (CNCI) has a glorified history as renowned personalities like Matatma Gandhi, Pundit Jawaharlal Nehru, Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das and Dr Bidhan Chandra Roy had been associated with this Institute. The eminent gynaecological oncologist, Dr Subodh Chanda Mitra, the founder Director of this institute laid the foundation stone of Chittaranjan Cancer Hospital (CCH) as a centre for cancer treatment with the help and support of Dr B, C. Roy. Dr Mitra felt that there should be a specialized hospital in this city for the treatment of malignant diseases and to carry out fundamental research on cancer. The institute was formally inaugurated by Nobel laureate Prof. Madame J Curie on 12th January, 1950 and named after Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das. In order to pursue fundamental research on Chittaranjan National Cancer Research Centre (CNCRC) emerged in 1957. Later on the amalgamation of the two separate entities CCH and CNCRC took place in 1987 emerging as CNCI with the prime objective of serving as a premiere Regional Cancer Centre for Eastern region of India. Presently CNCI is an autonomous organisation under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Govt of India. This one and only Regional Cancer Centre cater to people from different states of India as well as neighbouring countries for the last sixty years. The institute is funded by Government of India and Government of West Bengal in fixed proportion. CNCI has another chapter at Chandannagar, which is for the treatment of patients in adjoining area; this is Ruplal Nandy Memorial Cancer Research Centre (RNMCRC).
CNCI today is a centre for excellence so far as medical treatment and research activities are concerned. The hospital is fully dedicated for the treatment of the cancer patients. Patients who are below the poverty line get free treatment from the hospital, more than 500 patients get the benefit free treatment of whom a large number get support to obtain chemotherapeutic drugs from the Rashtriya Arogya Nidhi (RAN) Scheme, Govt of India.
Cancer affects children as well. A paediatric oncology ward is going to be functional soon for special attention and care of the child patients. The preventive oncology division has imparted special efforts in prevention and palliative care of the patients. A new Day care unit was opened on 6th March, 2009 for the benefit of the cancer patients requiring chemotherapy treatment, blood transfusion and small procures. For the benefit of patients and their companions who hail from remote and faraway places from the hospital, a Night Shelter and toilet complex with drinking water facility has become operational.
The research wing of CNCI has qualified and highly skilled scientists who own their fame in their respective field of cancer research. Scientists are focussing mainly towards understanding the molecular mechanisms in the development of cancer, identification of molecular markers, targeted therapy, prevention of cancer, epidemiology, anticancer drug development and immune regulation. Recently need for a new area has been felt, which is a bridge between basic and clinical research; this area has come up with the hope that in future ‘bench to bed side research’ will be carried out at CNCI. With this aim in view the department of Translational Research was established. This department is equipped with modern, highly sophisticated gadgets with the hope to perform best quality research work. Clinical trials under various National and International collaborations have been undertaken at CNCI.
On an average there are around 50 publications from CNCI in peer reviewed national and international journals. Some of the research activities have been patented by IPR. Every year a good number of summer students from various Universities and colleges from India are being trained by the eminent scientists of the research wing. Good quality PhD work is carried out at CNCI. DNB course has been successfully launched at CNCI hospital and well qualified doctors have been enrolled for the same. It is a great honour that the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh has selected CNCI to conduct the MRCS Part III examination for two consecutive years.
Since the existing CNCI has no adequate facilities to cater the need of ever increasing number of patients, need for expansion of hospital and research was felt. CNCI has already initiated the process of building a 500 bedded multi-disciplinary sophisticated cancer therapeutic facility over 10 acres of land at New Town, Rajarhat, Kolkata. The land has already been acquired. Boundary walls have been constructed and soil testing has been done. Final DPR prepared by HSCC (I) Ltd. has been submitted with MOH & FW, Govt of India for final approval.
With a vision of a steady progress in the field of basic and clinical cancer research and targeted therapy, CNCI hospital and research is envisaged to work hand in hand for a better tomorrow where the ill-fated cancer patients can combat the disease with the most effective and modernised treatments.
