Woman beating: SC slams Punjab govt

<h3 style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="newsTxt" style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-size: small;">The apex court directed the Parkash Singh Badal government to provide security to the woman, though not by state police, but other agencies.

Rejecting the District Magistrate's report which said such incidents are not rare in the state, the Supreme Court said the document was 'misleading and factually incorrect'.

"The report is misleading and factually incorrect. We will put it in a dustbin. We can't just accept that such incidents 'happen' ... we are really bothered about what happens daily on the streets - helpless women being beaten up mercilessly," said the apex court.

Empathizing with the woman, the SC said: "We can't restore her dignity; all we can do is to put balm on her feelings."

Criticizing the role of police and police recruitment procedure, the court said: "No police recruitment takes place without money."

The apex court also hinted that it might impose a huge fine on the Punjab Police for the incident.

In March, four policemen were suspended in Punjab after they were caught on camera hitting a woman who purportedly tried to complain about being harassed by a truck driver.

The 23-year-old woman said she had been harassed by the truck driver while returning from a wedding party.

The family of the victim reported the incident to the constables who they spotted on the road at Tarn Taran near Amritsar.

But after taking a bribe from the driver the constables started beating her, she alleged and the video of the incident was shot on a cellphone by a witness.

A senior police officer later tried to defend the cops involved saying the constables were only trying to prevent a fight.

Some other police officers said an altercation began between the family and the cops when constables tried to arrest the victim's father, who was allegedly drunk and was misbehaving.</span></span></h3>

Madina murders: Dalits start indefinite 'dharna' at Rohtak

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Rohtak (</b><span style="text-align: start;">PTI)</span><b>:</b> People belonging to Dalit community today sat on indefinite 'dharna' at Ambedkar Chowk outside local Congress office here, protesting against the "police inaction" in the murder of two youths of their community.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sudhir (10) and Vikram (22) were shot dead allegedly by some youths of "upper caste" in Madina village of Meham sub-division on March 30. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The district authorities did not allow the protesters to erect a tent on the 'dharna' site saying that they don't have permission for it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The protesters are demanding immediate arrest of all those who have been booked in connection with the killings besides Rs 25 lakh compensation and a government job each to kin of the deceased. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They have also threatened that they would 'gherao' the residences of UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in Delhi on April 14 if their demands are not met by then. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dalits from across the state will participate in this 'gherao' to mount pressure on the union leaders, besides apprising them of the plight of SCs in Haryana, they said. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Top officials of district police and administrative authorities have tried to pacify the Dalits saying that sincere efforts are being made to nab the accused and they will be arrested soon. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, the protesters are adamant on their demands. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We have arrested five of the accused and simultaneous raids are being carried out to nab the others," a senior police official said. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meanwhile, Sansaar Singh, father of Suudhir, said in a press release, "We cannot reside in the village till the accused are arrested. We are entirely scared as people of the upper caste are still threatening our kin of dire consequences." </div>

It has a satellite television service (DW (TV)), which is available in four languages, and there is also an online news site.

Deutsche Welle has broadcast regularly since 1953. Until 2003 it was based in Cologne; then it relocated to a new building, the "Schürmann-Bau", in Bonn's former government office area. The television broadcasts are produced in Berlin. Deutsche Welle's website is produced in both Berlin and Bonn. On 6 February 2012 Deutsche Welle underwent a significant rebranding.</div>

<span lang="EN-US">Deutsche Welle was inaugurated on 3 May 1953 with an address by the West German President, Theodor Heuss, as its first shortwave broadcast. On 11 June 1953 the public broadcasters in the ARD signed an agreement to share responsibility for Deutsche Welle. At first it was controlled by Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk (NWDR). In 1955, when this split into the separate Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) and Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR) networks, WDR assumed responsibility for Deutsche Welle programming. In 1960 Deutsche Welle became an independent public body after a court ruled that broadcasting from Germany was part of the federal government's foreign-affairs function. On 7 June 1962 it joined the ARD as a national broadcasting station.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

India and Germany gear up for round of talks

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="intro" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 25px; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<img src="http://www.dw.de/image/0,,15717997_303,00.jpg" style="background-color: transparent; text-align: left;" />Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has arrived in Germany. Bilateral trade is likely to be high on the agenda at the two-day inter-governmental talks that kick off in Berlin on Thursday.</div>
<div class="longText" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25px;">
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px; text-align: justify;">
India was one of the first countries to recognize the German Federal Republic and also one of the countries which gave strong support to German Reunification in 1990. "India and Germany agree on several policy areas of international diplomacy," says R. K. Jain from Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi. "They both want a permanent seat in the United Nations Security Council. They are cooperating with each other in the G-20 process."</div>
<div class="picBox medium" style="float: left; margin: 0px; padding: 7px 20px 10px 0px; text-align: justify; width: 340px;">

<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px; text-align: justify;">
Manmohan Singh will co-chair the second round of inter-governmental consultations in Berlin with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. This format of consultation is also used with China and Israel, as well as various European countries.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px; text-align: justify;">
Jain expects the two-day meeting to drive forward bilateral cooperation in the field of clean environmental technologies and alternative energies, which include nuclear power. "India has an ambitious nuclear program and there has to be a discussion about how German firms can contribute to it." For years, France and India have been talking about massive investments into India's civil nuclear energy program.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<strong style="color: black; font-size: 17px; font-weight: normal;">Increasing trade volume</strong></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px; text-align: justify;">
Trade relations are also high on the agenda. In the first round of consultations in May 2011, German and India's leaders confirmed the ambition to increase bilateral trade volume from 15 billion to 20 billion euros by the end of 2012. At the end of 2011, the volume amounted to well over 18 billion euros. Germany is now India's seventh most important supplier. Demand for German machines, which make up 30 percent of all such deliveries to India, remains high, as it does for electrotechnology. In return, India supplies Germany with textiles, leather, food and increasingly with chemical goods, metal products and also with electrotechnology.</div>
<div class="picBox medium rechts" style="float: right; margin: 0px; padding: 7px 20px 10px; text-align: justify; width: 340px;">
<a href="http://www.dw.de/india-and-germany-gear-up-for-round-of-talks/a-16732674#" rel="nofollow" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="The Russian-built Kudankulam Atomic Power Project (Arun Sankar. K/AP/dapd)
" border="0" height="191" src="http://www.dw.de/image/0,,16455798_404,00.jpg" style="border: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 340px;" width="340" /></a><span style="color: #888888; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">India wants to expand its civil nuclear program with German expertise</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px; text-align: justify;">
In order to bring the trade relations onto a sustainable course of growth there is a lot to do. Bernhard Steinrücke, Director General of the Indo-German Chamber of Commerce, mentions an important point: "The German government will underline the fact that the proposed free trade agreement between India and the EU is of the utmost importance for India and Europe and therefore for Germany too."</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px; text-align: justify;">
Jain thinks this should not fail because of India, which will try to persuade Germany to exert pressure on the EU so the agreement does materialize.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<strong style="color: black; font-size: 17px; font-weight: normal;">No change of course</strong></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px; text-align: justify;">
Big car firms such as Mercedes, Volkswagen, BMW, and engineering giant Siemens have long been present in India. However, India hopes that the free trade agreement will allow small and medium-sized German companies to get a stronger foothold in India and share their know-how, says Jain.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px; text-align: justify;">
"German industry hopes the visit will highlight the significance of German investment in India's business sector as well as in the sciences," agrees Steinrücke.</div>
<div class="picBox medium" style="float: left; margin: 0px; padding: 7px 20px 10px 0px; text-align: justify; width: 340px;">
<a href="http://www.dw.de/india-and-germany-gear-up-for-round-of-talks/a-16732674#" rel="nofollow" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="Frankfurt am Main, Germany's economic hub" border="0" height="191" src="http://www.dw.de/image/0,,15675544_404,00.jpg" style="border: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 340px;" width="340" /></a><span style="color: #888888; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">German industry would benefit from a free trade agreement between the EU and India</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px; text-align: justify;">
In this context, the German side should also highlight the interest Germany has in skilled labor from India. The controversial CSU/CDU election campaign slogan "Children instead of Indians" did not go down very well with Indians in the past decade. That's why Indian politicians will be following German efforts to lure skilled workers and scientists from India.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; padding: 0px 40px 12px 0px; text-align: justify;">
Germany has parliamentary elections coming up in September this year and they're due in India next year. However, Steinrücke does not think they will play a big role in bilateral relations. "If the two governments are now agreed on certain themes, it has little to do with the parties that make up the governments. We don't expect a change of course."</div>

<span style="background-color: transparent;">In a September 1976 dispatch, the US embassy reported the then prime minister Indira Gandhi's younger son was targeted by an unknown assailant in a "well planned assassination attempt" which failed. The date suggests the incident occurred during the Emergency.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent;">"Indira Gandhi's son Sanjay was shot three times on August 30 or 31 by an unknown assailant," the cable says, attributing the information to a clandestine source. The report says Sanjay escaped and was not critically injured.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent;">"According to Indian intelligence, this is the third attempt on the younger Gandhi's life," the cable states and goes on to surmise that the attack will eventually be blamed on revolutionary elements sponsored by outside powers.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent;">As is now evident, no word was let out on the UP incident or any of the other alleged assassination attempts.

<span style="background-color: transparent;">Sanjay was killed in a plane crash in the Capital on June 23, 1980 soon after Congress came back to power after internal bickering consumed the Janata Party.
