Finance Minister’s tyranny of unelected jibe at the judiciary is unwarranted

Finance Minister’s tyranny of unelected jibe at the judiciary is unwarranted
The Aam Aadmi Party disagrees with the views of the Union Finance Minister Mr Arun Jaitley on the landmark judgment by the Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court, striking down the National Judicial Appointments Commission for appointment of judges.
It is unfortunate that the union Finance Minister, a senior advocate himself, has chosen an unwarranted expression like ‘tyranny of unelected’ while referring to the Supreme Court judgment.
The AAP also disagrees with the parallel drawn by the Finance Minister in comparing the appointment of judges with that of the Election Commission and the CAG. This is a serious contradiction in his stand from his days in opposition when Mr Jaitley used to raise questions on the appointment  of Election Commissioners by the government of the day.
The country has not forgotten that Mr Jaitley was the prime mover behind the petition signed by 205 NDA MPs, which was submitted to the then President of India against the appointment of Mr Navin Chawla as an Election Commissioner in 2006.  
What is extremely surprising that senior ministers of the Narendra Modi government, instead of accepting that the now junked Constitution amendment bill through which they tried to take control of the judges appointment was seriously flawed, are trying to find faults with every Constitutional institution in a desperate bid to justify their wrong move.
There is no denying the fact that the old Collegium system of judges appointment, which the Supreme Court has restored, suffers from serious drawbacks, but the solution offered could not have been worse than this.
It will be better for the Central government to take into confidence all stakeholders, including the judiciary, and build a widest possible consensus on the extremely important and sensitive subject of judicial reforms rather than turning it into an unhealthy Judiciary Vs Parliament issue.
What is missing in the central government’s response so far is that how does it intend to address the concerns raised by the Supreme Court on safeguarding the independence of judiciary.

India finish second in the 5th Sultan of Johor Cup

Johor Bahru (Malaysia), 18th October 2016: The Indian junior men’s hockey team finished second in a nail biting finish to Great Britain at the 5th Sultan of Johor Cup today at Johor Bahru, Malaysia. The India colts, who were leveled at 2-2 against Great Britain after full time in the title encounter, could not defend the title for the third consecutive year, losing in the penalty shootout 4-3, to the Great Britain boys. 
Great Britain began on a confident note drawing first blood in the 5th minute through a penalty corner goal by Luke Taylor. The Great Britain team who had earlier defeated India in the league matches seemed to be in control of their game until India were rewarded with a penalty corner in the 12th minute, which was beautifully converted into a goal by Harmanpreet Singh to bring India at par with the Great Britain score. The next 23 minutes in the first half saw a lot of attacks and counter attacks but neither of the teams could capitalize on their form to find the back of the net.  The second half began with India pressing hard to take the lead and they were soon rewarded in the 42nd minute with Gurjant Singh pulling off an absolute stunner, giving India the much needed lead in the game. Great Britain however struck back soon after in the 46th minute through Jack Turner to settle the score at 2-2. The next 24 minutes saw numerous attempts to score from both the teams, but the efficient goal keepers and a strong defense line ensured the match entered the penalty shootout stage. Great Britain finally edged past the Indian colts in the penalty shootout scoring 4 goals as opposed to India’s 3 goals, to be crowned as the new champions of the 5th Sultan of Johor Cup.

‘It’s hard to miss out on the title from somewhere as close as this, but it’s a game and this defeat today will only help us learn from our mistakes for the future. I am completely satisfied with the boys performance and I couldn’t have asked for more from them. Penalty shootouts are always unpredictable and it’s unfortunate that we could not finish it on a winning note. I would like to congratulate Great Britain on being crowned the new champions.” said Harendra Singh, Coach, Indian Junior Men’s Team after the loss. 
India had earlier finished at the top of the table in the league encounter just losing one match ironically to Great Britain. Sumit Kumar and Harmanpreet Singh with 3 goals each have been the top scorers for India in tournament.

Grand Slam Baseball to mark 70th Anniversary of the United Nations in New Delhi







A Home Run for a Better World!
Grand Slam Baseball to mark 70th Anniversary of the United Nations in New Delhi
This year, United Nations Day (24 October) will be observed in New Delhi in a rather unusual way; with an exhibition international youth baseball match; and, in the true spirit of the UN, with student players representing several nations of the world being hosted in the baseball field at the Embassy of the United States in Chanakyapuri.
Showcasing unity and diversity, this exhibition match will be viewed by members of the UN family, diplomats, NGOs and school and college staffers.
The New Delhi Little League, a decades-old tradition held annually in the US Embassy, perfectly captures the spirit of diversity and collaboration and the United Nations Day celebrations will highlights the UN theme of Sports for Peace and Development.
In addition to players representing the American Embassy School, British School, Pathways, Modern School, Delhi Public School and others, the event will feature appearances by top United Nations and US Embassy representatives. Principals and board members from other local and international schools will also be on hand to witness how youth baseball offers unparalleled opportunities to learn and nurture valuable life-skills and celebrate diversity.
Grand Slam Baseball develops youth and adult baseball across India while creating life-changing opportunities for players and coaches both in India and abroad.  Whether it’s enabling government school students to play alongside athletes from the country’s best institutions, or of using the game of baseball as a means to enable India’s brightest candidates to attend universities in the United States (and elsewhere), Grand Slam baseball is bringing a sporting revolution to India.

11 killed in dual suicide bombings in Nigeria

At least eleven people were killed when two female suicide bombers attacked a refugee population fleeing Boko Haram forces in Nigeria, police said on Sunday. The bombs were detonated by the assailants who had been hiding among dozens of displaced persons in a remote Dar village on Saturday evening. Following the explosion, Boko Haram gunmen killed the survivors. “Residents fled to the bush. After a while, two women who disguised as fleeing locals blew themselves up … while the gunmen shot at survivors,” the former head of the Madagali local government council, Maina Ularamu told reporters. The jihadist group which has been active since 2002, pledged its allegiance to the Islamic State in March. Since then the number of deadly attacks has increased.
