[GreenYouth] Nuclear Liability Bill Introduced amid Opposition Protest
[Other reports indicate that the Bill has been referred to the Standing Committee attached to Energy, headed by Mulayam Singh Yadav. Apparently, the Department of Atomic Energy does not have any Standing Committee attached to it. Can a procedural objection be raised as regards the competence of the Standing Committee to examine the Bill to which it has been referred? Any one, any idea? The central issue of course is to force the government to engage in wider public consultations. (The supports of the Yadav duo, apparently, have been purchased at the cost of the Women's Reservation Bill. That's too unfortunate. And also conceding to include caste as a parameter in the ongoing census enumeration. That's, however, highly welcome.) The CNDP Letter to the PM is reproduced here for ready reference. http://cndpindia.org/news.php?item.35.2 CNDP Open Letter to the Prime Minister of India, and Ruling UPA Chairperson, Demanding Public Consultation on 'Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Bill 2010 In view of the Budget Session of the Parliament recommencing on 15 04 2010 and the Union Government being reportedly keen to table the subject Bill, and also push it through, if possible; the following letter was faxed to the Indian Prime Minister, with a copy to the ruling UPA Chairperson, by the Coalition for Nuclear Disarmament and Peace (CNDP) on 14 04 10 and hard copies delivered on 15 04 10. Copies handed over to a number of MPs as well. The letter is self-explanatory. Sukla Sen 17 04 2010 To Dr. Manmohan Singh Hon’ble Prime Minister, Government of India, South Block, New Delhi 110 001 Dated: April 14 2010 Sub: Public Consultation on 'Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Bill 2010' Dear Dr. Singh, We the undersigned hereby express our grave concerns at the implications of the 'Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Bill 2010', copies of which have already been distributed to the members of the Parliament *The defining features of the Bill*, as it appears, *are as under*: *One*, it is an attempt to enact a law defining and tackling civil liability for nuclear damage, which does not obtain as of now, to facilitate participation of foreign players in Indian nuclear market. *Two*, the Bill is also a move towards joining the Convention on Supplementary Compensation (CSC) regime by enacting a law in alignment with that. *Three*, the Bill is a stepping stone to ensure entry of private players, whether foreign or indigenous, as operators, as had been demanded by the FICCI in its June 2009 Report. And the Bill proposes to go way beyond the CSC framework to roll out a red carpet for he prospective private players to assume the mantle of operator. *Our major concerns*, in brief, *are as under*: *I*. The entry of private players as operators is too dangerous given the unique nature of nuclear power industry and its catastrophic potentials, as chillingly illustrated by the Chernobyl Disaster on April 26 1986. The fact is that profit maximisation is the very raison d'etre of a private enterprise giving rise to the consequent innate tendency to cut corners in terms of safety measures. Regulatory mechanisms can at best only “regulate”. Hence, the envisaged ushering in of private players as “operators” of nuclear power plants is an open invitation to disaster. *II*. There must not be any overall cap on the quantum of compensation to potential victims. That is too unjust and inhumane. (The CSC, by the way, does NOT so obligate. Nor does it obligate entry of private operators.) It has to relate to the actual damages caused. The overall “cap” of 300 million SDR, which works out to about 460 million US$, is even lower than the compensation amount of US$ 470 million ratified by the Indian Supreme Court to the victims of Bhopal Gas Disaster way back in 1989. *III*. The Bill pegs the “liability” of the private “operator” at Rs. 500 crore per incident, with the further proviso to lower it down to even paltrier Rs. 100 crore. And the state, i.e. the Indian taxpayers/citizens, will have to pay, in case of an accident in a privately operated nuclear power plant, the amount of “liability”, i.e. compensations for damages, exceeding the “cap” for a private operator subject to the overall limit of 300 million SDR. (Even in this case, The CSC does NOT obligate to peg the cap for the liability of any operator any lower than 300 million SDR, which amounts to around Rs. 2,100 crore or 460 million US$. And while the CSC obligates that must be a cap of 300 million SDR, it does not envisage any overall cap on the compensation to be made available to the victims by a member nation.) This is evidently a brazen attempt to favour private enterprises at the cost of Indian citizens. *Given such serious apprehensions and grave implications for the country, you are hereby urged to desist from any attempt to enact the Bill without detailed examinations of its various provisions. The Bill must be opened up for wider and transparent public
[GreenYouth] Nepal: Janandolan III That It Was Not
[The mass upsurge that eventually unseated the Nepal monarch Gyanendra on April 24 2006 is known as Janandolan (People's Movement) II. The original version dates back to 1990 ushering in faltering constitutional democracy under the tutelage of the monarchy. The UCPN(M) had repeatedly tried to trigger similar upsurge since Prachanda's resignation on May 4 2009 as the Prime Minister followed by, his erstwhile comrade, Madhav Nepal taking over, on May 25, with Prachanda continuing as the caretaker PM in the interlude. But despite pretty impressive shows of organised strength on the streets, they repeatedly failed. The magic just eluded them. This current phase, beginning on May 1 with a huge rally followed by indefinite strike till Nepal resigns, was their final attempt. Despite nail biting uncertainties, they have again failed. This time, they tried hardest. So the fall is harder. The magic simply refused to materialise. And the massive Peace Rally in Kathmandu on Friday, May 7, morning, apart from the breaking out of violent clashes between the local residents and strike enforcers at various sites particularly since the previous day, was evidently the game changer. But that does, however, not wipe out their pretty large committed support base, particularly in the villages. The turmoil and unrest would therefore continue. So a reconciliation of sorts is a must. All the players must come to the negotiation table. But the UCPN(M) would now play with a decidedly weaker hand. That, however, does not *ipso facto* rule out the possibilities of Prachanda regaining his Prime Ministerial chair once again. But on the crucial issue of integration of the Maoist PLA with the Nepal Army, the terms are bound to be far less favourable than had been earlier anticipated. Ditto on other contentious issues.] I/IV. http://www.nepalnews.com/main/index.php/news-archive/1-top-story/5902-situation-returning-to-normalcy-throughout-the-country.html http://www.nepalnews.com/main/index.php/news-archive/1-top-story/5902-situation-returning-to-normalcy-throughout-the-country.html Situation returning to normalcy throughout the country Saturday, 08 May 2010 09:46 Normal life throughout the country that was badly hit by the prolonged general strike of the Unified CPN (Maoist) is returning to form Saturday after the withdrawal of the strike. Vehicles are back on the street and markets have started to open. People who were stranded in various places due to lack of transportation have started heading out to their destinations. Fresh vegetables and fruits have been transported to Kathmandu and other cities in large quantities. The price of vegetables has seen a sharp decline following the extra supply. Although, government offices, most private offices and banking institutions and academic institutions and whole-sale market have remained closed today being Saturday, people are seen relieved in the hope of resuming their official works from Sunday. Most people were confined in their residences and forced to postpone their work, while many others were forced to walk to their destinations due to the bandh. Some Maoist cadres who had come from various districts to the capital and other cities for the party's general strike have started to return on their own, while others have stayed back for the mass assemblies to be organised Saturday. The UCPN (Maoist) has said, it will vacate schools and colleges that it has been using as temporary camps to house its cadres to allow the academic institutions run.

In a statement on Saturday, PM Nepal said the decision would play a positive role for discussion, consensus and cooperation among the political forces. He said, the parties have no alternative to consensus and cooperation to ensure that peace process concludes and a new constitution is written. He urged the Maoists to seek solution of all problems through consensus, constitution principles and democratic values. He expressed hope to reach a national consensus after ensuring conclusion of peace process, environment to ensure constitution, transformation of the Unified CPN (Maoist) into a civilian party, integration and rehabilitation of the Maoist combatants, dismantling paramilitary structure and returning the seized properties to their rightful owners.

[GreenYouth] Imagine if the Tea Party Was Black - Tim Wise
Imagine if the Tea Party Was Black - Tim Wise http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VXHu9xPIdSU/S9DCy6RnahI/AxQ/YHYQoj2E6Gs/s1600/sam_the_man.jpgLet’s play a game, shall we? The name of the game is called “Imagine.” The way it’s played is simple: we’ll envision recent happenings in the news, but then change them up a bit. Instead of envisioning white people as the main actors in the scenes we’ll conjure - the ones who are driving the action - we’ll envision black folks or other people of color instead. The object of the game is to imagine the public reaction to the events or incidents, if the main actors were of color, rather than white. Whoever gains the most insight into the workings of race in America, at the end of the game, wins. So let’s begin. Imagine that hundreds of black protesters were to descend upon Washington DC and Northern Virginia, just a few miles from the Capitol and White House, armed with AK-47s, assorted handguns, and ammunition. And imagine that some of these protesters —the black protesters — spoke of the need for political revolution, and possibly even armed conflict in the event that laws they didn’t like were enforced by the government? Would these protester — these black protesters with guns — be seen as brave defenders of the Second Amendment, or would they be viewed by most whites as a danger to the republic? What if they were Arab-Americans? Because, after all, that’s what happened recently when white gun enthusiasts descended upon the nation’s capital, arms in hand, and verbally announced their readiness to make war on the country’s political leaders if the need arose. Imagine that white members of Congress, while walking to work, were surrounded by thousands of angry black people, one of whom proceeded to spit on one of those congressmen for not voting the way the black demonstrators desired. Would the protesters be seen as merely patriotic Americans voicing their opinions, or as an angry, potentially violent, and even insurrectionary mob? After all, this is what white Tea Party protesters did recently in Washington. Imagine that a rap artist were to say, in reference to a white president: “He’s a piece of shit and I told him to suck on my machine gun.” Because that’s what rocker Ted Nugent said recently about President Obama. Imagine that a prominent mainstream black political commentator had long employed an overt bigot as Executive Director of his organization, and that this bigot regularly participated in black separatist conferences, and once assaulted a white person while calling them by a racial slur. When that prominent black commentator and his sister — who also works for the organization — defended the bigot as a good guy who was misunderstood and “going through a tough time in his life” would anyone accept their excuse-making? Would that commentator still have a place on a mainstream network? Because that’s what happened in the real world, when Pat Buchanan employed as Executive Director of his group, America’s Cause, a blatant racist who did all these things, or at least their white equivalents: attending white separatist conferences and attacking a black woman while calling her the n-word. Imagine that a black radio host were to suggest that the only way to get promoted in the administration of a white president is by “hating black people,” or that a prominent white person had only endorsed a white presidential candidate as an act of racial bonding, or blamed a white president for a fight on a school bus in which a black kid was jumped by two white kids, or said that he wouldn’t want to kill all conservatives, but rather, would like to leave just enough—“living fossils” as he called them—“so we will never forget what these people stood for.” After all, these are things that Rush Limbaugh has said, about Barack Obama’s administration, Colin Powell’s endorsement of Barack Obama, a fight on a school bus in Belleville, Illinois in which two black kids beat up a white kid, and about liberals, generally. Imagine that a black pastor, formerly a member of the U.S. military, were to declare, as part of his opposition to a white president’s policies, that he was ready to “suit up, get my gun, go to Washington, and do what they trained me to do.” This is, after all, what Pastor Stan Craig said recently at a Tea Party rally in Greenville, South Carolina. Imagine a black radio talk show host gleefully predicting a revolution by people of color if the government continues to be dominated by the rich white men who have been “destroying” the country, or if said radio personality were to call Christians or Jews non-humans, or say that when it came to conservatives, the best solution would be to “hang ‘em high.” And what would happen to any congressional representative who praised that commentator for “speaking common sense” and likened his hate talk to “American values?” After all, those are among the things said by radio host and best-selling author Michael Savage,

It is a theme which recurrs regularly in the discussions engaged in by the chattering classes of the country. While nobody can deny that frivolous cases are not filed under this act the manner in which the issue gets raised creates an impression that the only 'use' of this law is its 'misuse.' Neither the polity nor the articulate sections of our society seem ready to go for a reality check. In fact, as a marker of these classes 'sensitivities' towards this delicate issue, even Ms Mayawati in her earlier incarnations as Chief Minister of UP had cautioned the police about its 'misuse'. She is also reported to have issued G.O.s (government orders) to use this law only in cases of rapes and murders of the dalits. The issue also came up for discussion in the parliament recently when a member raised query dealing with the theme. As reported in a section of the press, while replying to this query the minister for social justice and empowerment Mr Napoleon told the house that there were 6,564 false cases in 2008 across India under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, called the PoA Act. It is widely known that this Act provides for a sentence of up to five years for atrocity committed or humiliation heaped on a Dalit, and provides for the setting up of special courts for trial of cases. (Hindustan Times, 27 th April 2010) A break up of the figures cited by the said minister is quite revealing. Of these, 2287 false cases came from one state: Rajasthan. Andhra Pradesh followed at 1,577 false cases. Uttar Pradesh, the state with the largest Dalit population (21 per cent of the state's 160-70 million and which stood at no. one as regards cases of atrocities against these sections are concerned), was third with 843 false cases. Punjab - the state with the highest proportion of SCs at 29 per cent of the population - has had just 52 false
