Poor enrolment in schools is UP govt's fault, alleges AAP

Lucknow: In continuation of its ongoing protest against the programme initiated by UP govt to pair low-occupancy schools with the ones with more strength, Aam Aadmi Party staged protest in Lucknow on Saturday, attended by activists, teachers and parents of schoolgoing children. The party said the protests would continue across the state until govt retracted the order. Party MP Sanjay Singh, who led the protest, said AAP would not allow any govt school to be closed. Referring to some changes made in the order by govt on Thursday, Singh said this was partial victory but the movement would not stop until the plan to close selected schools was completely abandoned. Accusing govt of failing to improve condition of schools in the state, Singh said current plan of govt was an attempt to deprive children from poor, Dalit, backward classes and minority backgrounds of education. He argued that reason for poor enrolment given for pairing of schools was govt's fault, not of children. "The effort to walk longer distances to attend schools will most impact girls, differently abled children and those from marginalised communities and it is the duty of govt to ensure easy, accessible schooling for all children," he said. Party's co-in charge for UP, Dilip Pandey, said govt would not be allowed to get away with minor changes and would have to retract the order fully.

2018 Bhima Koregaon violence: Inquiry commission gets 3-month extension

The Maharashtra government has given a fresh three-month extension to the inquiry commission probing the violence that took place on January 1, 2018 at Koregaon Bhima village in Pune district. The earlier extension granted to the Koregaon Bhima Inquiry Commission was till July 31. The comission has now been given extension till October 31 to submit its report, officials said. Violence had broken out near the Koregaon Bhima war memorial in Pune district on January 1, 2018, a day after the Elgar Parishad conclave was held in Pune. Dalits visit the memorial in large numbers as it commemorates the victory of British forces, which included Dalit soldiers, over the army of the Brahmin Peshwa rulers of Pune in 1818. The two-member commission, comprising retired chief justice of Calcutta High Court J N Patel and former Maharashtra chief secretary Sumit Mullick, is probing the circumstances that triggered the riots.

Congress Dalit leaders meet at Parameshwara's residence, discuss internal quota

Ministers and MLAs belonging to the Scheduled Castes (SC) community of the Congress held a meeting at the residence of Home Minister G. Parameshwara in the city on Saturday, amid a demand for implementing the internal quota among SC groups. Besides Dr. Parameshwara, three Ministers — Shivaraj Tangadagi, K.H. Muniyappa, R.B. Thimmapur — and 20 MLAs attended the meeting and reportedly discussed issues related to internal quota and intra-party unity among leaders. Minister Priyank Kharge did not attend the meeting since he was in Delhi with regard to the IT/BT programme, sources said. In January, Dr. Parameshwara planned to hold a dinner meeting of Dalit leaders, which sparked off a controversy and was eventually called off after intervention from the party high command. Sources said the meeting of SC Congress leaders was convened to resolve inner differences before the Justice Nagamohan Das Commission submits its report on internal quota to the government. A couple of days ago, Dr. Parameshwara told reporters: 'We will get to know everyone's opinions on the internal quota issue.' The commission, which had monitored the two-month survey, is expected to come out with a formula to divide the 17% reservation for SCs amongst the different sub-groups based on their population and backwardness. The Dalit left has fought for internal reservation on the grounds that they have been historically deprived of reservation benefits.
