NEW DELHI INDIA : Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin arrived in India on Friday where he is slated to sign a series of multibillion-dollar arms deals with Moscow’s old Cold War ally.

According to Russian officials, Putin will sign more than a dozen pacts on Friday worth around 10 billion dollars, including an accord to resolve the troubled sale of a refitted Soviet-era aircraft carrier, the Admiral Gorshkov.

Other deals include a contract to sell India 29 MiG fighter jets and an agreement to install additional nuclear power units in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu.

The sale of the Admiral Gorshkov has been marred by a series of price disputes and delayed deliveries, fuelling concerns in Moscow that India could be tempted to end its dependence on Russian military equipment.

Putin’s foreign policy aide Yury Ushakov said the new accord would “suit both sides” and help put the dispute behind them.

“We have an enormous interest in India,” he told reporters ahead of Putin’s arrival in New Delhi late Thursday.

Russia supplies 70 percent of India’s military hardware but in recent years New Delhi has looked to other military suppliers including Israel and the United States.

The strong ties between Moscow and New Delhi date back to the 1950s after the death of Stalin. But India has in recent years also taken care to balance this friendship by fostering closer relations with Washington.

Together with Brazil and China, Russia and India are part of the so-called BRIC grouping of major developing economies seeking to promote a multipolar world economy not dominated by the United States.

At just over 7.5 billion dollars in 2009, trade turnover is minuscule and the two countries aim to increase it to 20 billion dollars by 2015.

According to Indian officials, energy is emerging as a new focus of cooperation between oil and gas rich Russia and energy-starved India which is always on the lookout for new fuel sources to power its growing economy.

NEW DELHI INDIA: The standoff over the Women’s Reservation Bill in Lok Sabha ended on Thursday with the government announcing that the proposed legislation would be brought in the House only after consultations with all sections.

The breakthrough came after SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav, RJD leader Lalu Prasad and JD(U) president Sharad Yadav, the three strong opponents of the bill, met finance minister Pranab Mukherjee.

Trinamool Congress leader Mamata Banerjee, NCP chief Sharad Pawar and DMK leader T R Baalu also attended the meeting.

In meeting, “some sort of assurance was sought on the progress of the Constitution Amendment Bill (Women’s Reservation Bill) before bringing it to the Lok Sabha. Government will complete the process of consultations with all concerned,” Pranab Mukherjee said in a statement in the Lok Sabha after his discussions.

“I think, this assurance would assuage the feelings of all members and the business would be conducted smoothly,” he said, when the House re-assembled after two adjournments on the issue.

The standoff over the bill prevented normal functioning of the Lok Sabha for the last four days as those opposed to it have been disrupting the House.

“I would like to inform members that it has been agreed to conduct smooth business of the House for the remaining period,” Mukherjee said.

“I would request colleagues to help the Chair to conduct normal business,” he said.

The statement by the Leader of the House came at 2pm after two adjournments following uproar over the bill. Normalcy was restored soon after and discussion on General Budget, which had got delayed because of acrimony, was taken up.

Earlier, after his meeting with Mukherjee, Sharad Yadav said the government had assured those opposing the bill that all sections of the House will be consulted before bringing the measure in the Lok Sabha.

PANAJI INDIA: Goa police is planning to file an FIR against five policemen who were placed under suspension for their alleged nexus with drug peddlers in the state.

High level sources in the department said that the Crime Branch, which is investigating the nexus, is likely to file the FIR, soon.

Deputy Inspector General of Police Ravindra Yadav has already given his consent to file the report against all five policemen including police inspector Ashish Shirodkar.

An inspector, a head constable and three constables were placed under suspension last week after an alleged drug dealer, Yaniv Benahim alias Atala, was caught on camera confessing to be close to Shirodkar.

Atala had claimed that Shirodkar was supplying him drugs stolen from the Anti Narcotic Cell custody.

Similarly, interrogation of arrested drug dealer David Griham alias Dudu by police had also revealed few names of policemen providing him protection. While Dudu is currently in judicial custody under Narcotics and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, Atala was arrested on Tuesday under section 41 of CrPC.

DIG Yadav told reporters that Atala’s statement was required to probe the police drug-peddler nexus claimed in the video tape shot on spy cam, which exposed the links.

The uproar in the Indian parliament continued today, while the membership of some seven MPAs has been suspended for tearing copies of the Women’s Reservation bill on Monday in the Rajya Sabha, upper house of Indian parliament, when it was tabled in the House.
The bill seeks to provide 33 percent reservation to women in Parliament and state legislatures. Of those suspended 4 belonged to Samajwadi Party (SP) 2 to JUD and one an independent. The session has been adjourned till 2:00pm.
On the other hand, SP’s chief Mulayam Singh Yadav maintained that Congress government has not taken any of the ally parties in confidence regarding the bill. Meanwhile, Mulayam Singh Yadav, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) Chief Lalu Prasad, and Janata Dal-United leader Sharad Yadav met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today to demand amendments in the bill.

INDIA:The Women Reservation Bill is to be introduced in the upper house on Monday, International Women’s Day, before being considered by the decision-making lower house at a later date.

“We will table the bill in the upper house today,” Congress party leader P.S Ghatwar told AFP. “The bill if passed then will move to lower house.”

The controversial proposal to reserve 33 percent of seats, first introduced in parliament in 1996, would dramatically increase women’s membership in both houses of parliament where they occupy about one in 10 seats.

The legislation needs the approval of two-thirds of legislators. If passed, women would occupy 181 of the 545 seats in the lower house.

“Our government is committed towards women empowerment. We are moving towards one-third reservation for women in parliament and state legislatures,” Prime Minister Manmohan Singh told a women’s leadership summit on Saturday.

The bill has the backing of the Congress-led ruling coalition and the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Several socialist parties vow to oppose it, arguing that if passed it would lead to upper caste, not lower caste, women in parliament

Attempts to pass the bill have been blocked by various political groups who demanded separate quotas for women from Muslim and low-caste communities.

Sonia Gandhi, president of the Congress party and regarded as India’s most powerful politician, has thrown her weight behind the bill, saying she attaches the “highest importance” to it.

It will be a “gift to the women of India if it is introduced and passed” on International Women’s Day, she told party lawmakers last week.

The main opposition on Monday voiced support for the bill.

“I see no reason why it should not be tabled, it is true that there is no unanimity but there is a huge consensus,” senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley said.

But leaders of socialist parties such as the Samajwadi Party said they would oppose it.

“We will do everything to make sure that bill is not passed,” said Samajwadi Party leader Mulayam Singh Yadav.

Politics in India has traditionally been a male bastion, but women now hold prominent positions, including President Pratibha Patil and Sonia Gandhi. India has had one female prime minister, Indira Gandhi.

Women currently occupy 59 seats out of 545 in the lower house. There are just 21 women in the 248-seat upper house.

NEW DELHI: An Indian official spokesperson said on Sunday that New Delhi has been demanding Pakistan to take action against Hafiz Saeed who is allegedly “one of masterminds of Mumbai terror attacks”.

Responding to queries regarding a reported statement by the Pakistan Foreign Minister that India has not demanded the arrest of Hafiz Saeed and that the issue did not even figure in the recently concluded Foreign Secretary- level talks with Pakistan, the Official Spokesperson said India had handed over dossiers to Pakistan containing compilation of evidence on alleged involvement of Hafiz Saeed in the terrorist attack.

“A dossier containing a compilation of evidence on the involvement of Hafiz Saeed in the terrorist attack was handed over to Pakistan on August 21, 2009 and his name featured prominently in yet another dossier handed over to the Pakistan Foreign Secretary during the talks on February 25, 2010,” the Spokesperson said.

Saeed’s activities including his recent “vitriolic and venomous statements” aimed at fomenting further acts of terrorism against India and the unhindered public space and freedom he enjoys in Pakistan was raised strongly by India during the Foreign Secretary-level talks, the spokesperson further added.

Pakistan has been demanding India to provide actionable evidence against suspects of Mumbai attacks but India has failed to provide such evidence which should stand the test of legal courts in Pakistan.

Contending that dialogue was the only way forward with Pakistan, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today said the decision to hold foreign-secretary level talks was a “calculated” one but there can be no meaningful discussion till terror from Pakistan is ended.
Denying that he had sought mediation by Saudi Arabia, he asserted in the Lok Sabha that all problems with Pakistan can be resolved bilaterally if it adopted a “reasonable” attitude in dealing with terror elements which target India.
“Our policy towards Pakistan is consistent, cautious and realistic,” Singh said replying to the debate on the Motion of Thanks to the President’s address to Parliament during which he lambasted the opposition BJP for spreading disinformation.
He specifically rebutted charges levelled by senior BJP leader L K Advani that the government was talking to Pakistan under US pressure.
Underlining the need for keeping communication channels with Pakistan from breaking down, he said the scope of any “miscalculation can only worsen in an environment of no contact.”
To buttress his point, he said the US and the erstwhile Soviet Union, even at the height of the Cold War had kept communication channels open.
Referring to the recent Foreign Secretary-level talks, Singh said it was not a “sudden” decision but a “calculated” one. He pointed out that he had earlier offered to resume talks on humanitarian issues.
