Lankan parliament votes to not to allow UNHRC probe team
21 06 2014
Sri
Lankan parliament overwhelmingly voted not to allow the UNHRC team into
the country to investigate alleged human rights abuses during the last
phase of the civil war against the LTTE.
The government moved resolution was passed with 144 votes in favour,
10 against and 37 abstentions in the 225-membered house.”That this
Parliament resolves that the investigation to be conducted against Sri
Lanka by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human
Rights should not be carried out on the ground that such a course of
action is detrimental to the process of reconciliation and peace and
that it erodes the sovereignty, dignity and stature of Sri Lanka”, the
resolution said.
Two amendments moved by the Opposition were defeated. The government received a jolt ahead of the vote when a key ally, Sri Lanka Muslim Congress, said they were boycotting the parliament debate on the resolution.
Party leader, Rauff Hakeem, who is also the Minister of Justice said they were skipping parliament as the government had failed to provide security to the Muslims against a communal riot in the southwestern region.
“We are convinced that the government did not do anything to prevent the violence”, Hakeem said.
At least 4 Muslims were killed while nearly 100 were injured in the attacks blamed on the Buddhist majority BBS or the Forces of Buddhist Power.
The UN rights body’s investigation is in terms of a resolution adopted in March at the UNHRC. The investigation is to commence soon.
The action sanctioned by the UN rights body’s three successive resolutions since 2012.
Sri Lanka’s lack of action to control inter-religious tensions was highlighted by the UN rights chief Navy Pillay during her visit to the island last year.
Stepping up the international pressure, the European Union on Wednesday urged the Sri Lankan government to uphold the rule of law.
“We condemn the outbreak of violence which resulted in the loss of lives and extensive damage to property,” a EU statement said.
Up to 40,000 Tamil civilians were killed at the end of the separatist war in 2009, rights groups and experts have said.

Putin orders central Russia forces on combat alert
21 06 2014
Russian
President Vladimir Putin on Saturday ordered military forces in central
Russia on combat alert as well as a drill of airborne troops, a day
after Ukraine ordered a cease-fire with pro-Russian rebels.
NATO said earlier this week that Russia has resumed a military
build-up on the border with Ukraine where pro-Russian separatists have
been fighting government forces for weeks in a conflict that has left
about 300 people dead and displaced over 34,000. Ukrainian President
Petro Poroshenko ordered his forces to cease fire yesterday and halt
military operations for a week, the first step in a peace plan he hopes
will end the fighting that has killed hundreds. The Kremlin dismissed
the plan, saying it sounded like an ultimatum and lacked any firm offer
to open talks with insurgents. The combat alert in the central military
district, which encompasses the Volga region and the Ural mountains but
not western Russia, will last until next Saturday, Russian Defence
Minister Sergei Shoigu said, quoted by Russian state news agencies. Some
65,000 troops will take part in military drills accompanying the combat
alert, according to head of Russian General Staff Gen Valery Gerasimov,
including several thousand troops of an airborne division which will be
moved from a city 200 kilometres east of Moscow where they are
stationed to the Ural mountains. Russia’s combat alert was ordered on
the first day of the cease-fire in Ukraine, which was nonetheless marked
by more fighting along the border. The Ukrainian Border Guard Service
reported overnight attacks on two border posts in the Donetsk region,
which left three troops injured, hours after the cease-fire was
announced. One of the posts, Vyselky, was attacked with mortar and
sniper fire for half an hour, the border guards said. An attack on
another border post, Izvaryne, immediately before the cease-fire left
six men injured, the border guard service said. Ukraine’s Defence
Ministry reported two attacks on the quarters of a missile unit in the
village of Avdiyivka. Kiev said men armed with automatic rifles and
grenade launchers attacked the base at 11 pm — one hour after the
cease-fire was announced — prompting the army to respond. The rebels
left in the morning, the defence ministry said.

Rail fare hike difficult but correct decision: Jaitley
21 06 2014
Defending
the steep hike in rail fare and freight rates as a ‘difficult but
correct decision’, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley today said the railways
can survive only if users pay for availing of facilities.
“The passenger services have been subsidised by the freight traffic.
In recent years, even freight fares have come under pressure,” he said
in his first reaction to the 14.2 per cent increase in passenger fares
and 6.5 per cent hike in freight rates.
Stating that the choice before the government was to allow the railways to bleed and eventually walk into a debt trap or raise fares, Jaitley said, “India must decide whether it wants a world-class railway or a ramshackled one”.
“The railway minister has taken a difficult but a correct decision…The Indian Railways for the last few years have been running at a loss. The only way that Railways can survive is when users pay for the facilities that they avail.”
BJP leaders term rail fare hike a strong and effective measure
Bharatiya Janata Party leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi and Siddharth Nath Singh defended the rail fare hike, calling it a strong and effective measure to counter Congress’ failure.
Naqvi told the news agency, “Correction of the Congress’ failures is the priority,” adding, “The challenges the country is facing is an inheritance passed by the people who are protesting against it.”
He added, “The Modi government was trying to take strong and effective measures. Soon people will realise that measures that are being taken is to rid people of their problems.”
Meanwhile, BJP leader Siddharth Nath Singh said, “Any government faces two choices, to go for the growth or to give doles in the form of vote bank, the decision taken by PM Narendra Modi’s government is to bring India out of the economic mess left by the earlier UPA-II government.”
About the railway hike, he said, “It was a decision that the previous government had already taken in February but they did not announce it because of the upcoming elections and the vote bank consideration and, therefore, left the decision to the new government.”

PM Modi address to US Congress
21 06 2014
|
|
|
|
Prime
Minister Narendra Modi is expected to receive the honour of addressing a
joint session of the US Congress during a visit to Washington in
September.
|
|
California Republican Ed Royce, chairman of the House of
Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, wrote to House Speaker John
Boehner on Friday and asked that he invite Mr Modi to address a joint
session of the House and Senate during his trip.
“In every aspect – whether it be in political, economic or security relations – the United States has no more important partner in South Asia,” the letter said. “It is not an overstatement to say that the US-India relationship will be one of the defining partnerships of the 21st century.” Mr Boehner’s office did not immediately announce a response to the letter, which was also signed by North Carolina Republican Representative George Holding. Congressional aides said they expected an invitation would be issued to Mr Modi. The administration of President George W Bush denied Mr Modi a visa in 2005 under a 1998 US law barring entry to foreigners who have committed “particularly severe violations of religious freedom.” In 2002, when Mr Modi had just become Gujarat’s chief minister, more than 1,000 people, mostly Muslims, were killed in sectarian riots in the state. Mr Modi denied any wrongdoing. India’s Supreme Court ruled in 2010 he had no case to answer. President Barack Obama congratulated PM Modi on his election victory in mid-May and invited him to the White House. The United States, which sees India as a natural ally and potential counterbalance to China in Asia, is eager to expand business and security cooperation with the Modi government. |

France beat sluggish Switzerland 5-2
21 06 2014SALVADOR: France all but insured their place in the World Cup knock-out rounds by crushing Switzerland 5-2 in Salvador on Friday.
France were in complete command during their match against Switzerland which they won convincingly despite Karim Benzema missing a penalty.
The Real Madrid hitman did make amends with an opportunistic strike as did Olivier Giroud with a header, Blaise Matuidi off a counter.
Diminutive Mathieu Valbuena and young Moussa Sissoko also didn’t miss out on converting the assists.
Benzema provided a couple of assists apart from scoring his third goal for the Les Bleus in the tournament.
The Fifa Rankings went for a toss as the higher ranked Swiss men (No 6) were outplayed by Didier Deschamps’ men as the French manager is in pursuit of becoming only the third player-turned-manager to win the World Cup for his country.
Franz Beckenbauer and Mario Zagallo are the ones who have achieved the coveted feat.
Benzema’s close-range strike and a Sissoko effort added further gloss in the second period, before Blerim Dzemaili and Xhaka bagged late consolation goals for the losing team.
France are now on the brink of the last 16 having taken a maximum six points, while Switzerland still have work to do in their final pool encounter with Honduras.
Switerland’s woes started early when Steve von Bergen caught a boot in the face from Giroud and had to be replaced.
And Giroud was in the thick of the action again when he put France ahead in the 17th minute.
The Arsenal striker leapt highest to thump Valbuena’s corner past Benaglio who, despite getting a full hand to the ball, could not keep the effort out. Within 66 seconds, Frenchmen took complete control.
Benzema pounced on Valon Behrami’s poor pass before playing in Matuidi on the left of the box and he side-footed past Benaglio at the near-post, the goalkeeper perhaps beaten too easily.
France missed the chance to extend the lead in the 33rd minute when referee Bjorn Kuipers pointed to the spot after Johan Djourou recklessly felled Benzema.
However, Benaglio dived to his right to keep out Benzema’s spot-kick before Yohan Cabaye inexplicably volleyed the rebound against the crossbar. But France did get a third just five minutes before the break.
Raphael Varane brought the ball away following a Swiss corner before producing an exquisite pass that sent Giroud free down the left and he in turn laid the ball across goal for Valbuena, who could not miss from inside the six-yard box.

Valencia valiant effort Ecuador thrash Honduras
21 06 2014Ecuador moved into second place in World Cup Group E as two goals from Enner Valencia handed them a 2-1 win over Honduras in Curitiba on Friday.
Honduras had looked on course for their first ever World Cup win when Carlo Costly fired them in front on 31 minutes, but Valencia levelled from close range just three minutes later.
And the Pachuca striker moved alongside Karim Benzema, Robin Van Persie, Thomas Mueller and Arjen Robben as the tournament´s joint top scorer on three goals when he headed home the winner from Walter Ayovi´s free-kick 25 minutes from time.
Ecuador now lead Switzerland on goal difference with both sides locked on three points after two games behind group leaders France on six.
However, Honduras can also still qualify despite losing both their games so far should they heavily defeat the Swiss and Ecuador lose to France.
After a nervy opening from both sides the game began to open up midway through the half and Honduras felt they had a strong penalty appeal waved away by Australian referee Benjamin Williams when Costly went down under pressure from Juan Paredes.
Moments later it was Ecuador who should have taken the lead as Valencia timed his run onto Frickson Erazo´s long ball forward perfectly but couldn´t find the target when left with just Noel Valladares to beat.
Honduras´s first clear chance of the game came just before the half hour mark when Victor Bernardez headed wide when unmarked at the far post.
Four minutes later, though, Costly did net his country´s first World Cup goal in five games stretching back to their inaugural appearance at the finals in 1982 as he beat Jorge Guagua to a high ball before slamming home left footed.
The Hondurans´ lead was short-lived as within three minutes Juan Paredes´ deflected effort fell perfectly for Valencia to bundle home his second goal of the tournament.
Honduras ended the half the stronger side as Bernardez´s powerful free-kick was turned behind by Alexander Dominguez and Jerry Bengston rightly had a goal ruled out for handball after Costly´s initial header had come back off the post.
After the break it was Ecuador´s turn to feel aggrieved with referee Williams as he again was unmoved when Felipe Caicedo tumbled under a challenge from Maynor Figueroa.
However, that decision mattered little in the end as Valencia netted the winner when he rose highest to meet Ayovi´s sweet delivery.
It was a come-from-behind win for the Ecuadorians after Carlos Costly got Honduras ahead in the 31st minute.
Ecuador now are placed second in the group behind France and will like to put up a spirited fight against the 1998 World Cup winners.
