UPA knocks POTA, not its teeth
Replacing the POTA and yet underlining that it is serious about tackling terror, the
UPA government has sent to the President its ordinance amending the Unlawful
Activities (Prevention) Act. That ordinance has gone with one on repealing POTA and
the President is expected to clear them today. The ordinance incorporates several key
clauses�ad verbatim�from the repealed POTA law including the definition of a terrorist
act, punishment of the terrorist act, punishment for raising funds for a terrorist act
and punishment for harbouring terrorists.

In cricket, too, Cong and NCP take on BJP
The presidency of the BCCI has become the latest Congress-BJP battleground. It is also
being seen as a proxy conflict in cricket�s interminable telecast rights wars. With
Sharad Pawar, Union Agriculture Minister and Mumbai Cricket Association chief,
throwing his hat into the ring � ��I�m under pressure from my well-wishers,�� he told
journalists today � the candidacy of Arun Jaitley, BJP general secretary and Delhi and
Districts Cricket Association chief, seems less secure.
