Bharathiraja blasts actor Vijay for political ambitions

BharathiRaja opens his mind about the entry of actor Vijay to politics. “Those who want to come to politics should come with a lot of social responsibilities. Let them come with the intention of doing something to the society. Let them come with courage to throw away the existing system. We will support it. Without doing anything like that, they want to cash the popularity gained by them in cinema. I will not at all support such an effort. Only the directors have injected the dialogues spoken, appearance and growth within an actor. None should think of coming to politics after seeing MGR. He came to politics after rendering great service to people. They can be heroes in the films but not to the nation. Hard field work is there behind the leaders like Kalaignar, MGR and Madam. So, actors should not think of coming to politics by cheating the poor people.” By his strong criticism, Bharathiraja expresses his opposition to the entry of Vijay to politics.

சிறப்பு முகாமில் உண்ணாவிரதம் இருந்த ஈழத்தமிழர்களை சிறையில் அடைப்பதா?: சீமான் கண்டனம்

நாம் தமிழர் கட்சி தலைவர் சீமான் வெளியிட்டுள்ள அறிக்கையில் கூறியிருப்பதாவது:- 

பூந்தமல்லி, செங்கல்பட்டு சிறப்பு முகாம்களில் தடுத்து வைக்கப்பட்டுள்ள ஈழத்தமிழர்கள், தனிமைச் சிறையில் வாட்டும் தங்களை சாதாரண முகாம்களுக்கு மாற்றுங்கள் என்ற கோரிக்கையுடன் பலமுறை பட்டினிப் போராட்டங்கள் நடத்தியுள்ளனர். 

அப்போது அவர்களுடன் பேச்சுவார்த்தை நடத்தும் மாவட்ட நிர்வாகமும், தமிழக காவல்துறையின் க்யூ பிரிவு அதிகாரிகளும், உங்களை சிறப்பு முகாம்களில் இருந்து விடுதலை செய்கிறோம் என்று வாக்குறுதி அளித்து போராட்டத்தை முடித்து வைப்பார்கள். ஆனால், அதன் பிறகு அவர்களை கண்டுகொள்வதில்லை. 

சிறப்பு முகாம்வாசிகளும் பொறுத்துப் பார்த்து பொறுமையிழந்து அதன் பிறகு சாகும்வரை பட்டினிப் போராட்டம் நடத்துகிறார்கள். இதன் பிறகுதான் கடந்த காலங்களில் பலரும் விடுவிக்கபட்டு சாதாரண முகாம்களுக்கு மாற்றப்பட்டுள்ளனர். 

இப்போது பூந்தமல்லி சிறப்பு முகாமில் அடைத்து வைக்கப்பட்டுள்ள 7 ஈழத் தமிழர்களில் பரமேஸ்வரன், தர்ஷன், பிரதீபன் ஆகிய மூன்று பேரும் கடந்த 23ஆம் தேதியிலிருந்து ஒருவர் பின் ஒருவராக பட்டினிப் போராட்டத்தில் ஈடுபட்டு வருகின்றனர். 

அவர்களின் நியாயமான கோரிக்கையை ஏற்று, விடுதலை செய்யாமல், அவர்கள் மீது தற்கொலைக்கு முயன்றார்கள் என்று வழக்கு பதிவு செய்து, புழல் சிறையில் அடைத்துள்ளது அடக்குமுறை நடவடிக்கையாகும்.

இது பிரிட்டிஷ் காலனி ஆதிக்கத்தை எதிர்த்து போராடிய தேசத்தந்தை காந்தியையே அவமதிக்கும் செயலாகும். ஈழத் தமிழ் சொந்தங்களுக்கு நிலையான வீடுகளை கட்டித் தர ரூ.25 கோடியை மனிதாபிமானத்துடன் ஒதுக்கியுள்ள தமிழக முதல்வர், க்யூ பிரிவினரின் இப்படிப்பட்ட நடவடிக்கைகளுக்கு முற்றுப்புள்ளி வைக்க வேண்டும். 

சிறப்பு முகாம்களில் தடுத்து வைக்கப்பட்டுள்ள நம் சொந்தங்கள் அனைவரையும் உடனடியாக விடுவிக்க முன்வர வேண்டும். இதனை செய்யத்தவறினால், நாம் தமிழர் கட்சி மீண்டும் போராட்டதில் ஈடுபடும். 

இவ்வாறு அதில் கூறப்பட்டுள்ளது.

Big Temple elephant to stay off rejuvenation camp

  

The HinduSixty-two-year-old Vellaiyammal is advised against travel

Vellaiyammal, elephant of the Big Temple, would not attend the 48-day rejuvenation camp for elephants to be conducted at Vanabadrakaliyamman temple near Mettupalayam. The camp begins on Monday but Vellaiyammal, which went for the rejuvenation camp for five years, would not attend the camp.

As the pachyderm is 62 years old, doctors advised against transporting the animal. Vellaiyammal came to the Big Temple when she was four years old, and film actor Sivaji Ganesan presented the animal to the temple.

It was a herculean task for the mahouts to make Vellaiyammal board the lorry for going to the camp in the first year.

In the subsequent years, it boarded the vehicle easily and went happily to the camp.

However, elephants of Aiyarappar temple at Thiruvaiyaru (Dharmambal), Agneeswarar temple at Thirupugazhur, and Rajagopalaswamy temple at Mannargudi (Sengamalam) would attend the camp.

TAMIL UNIVERSITY

After boarding the lorries at the respective temples, the animals would be brought to Tamil University on Sunday and would be taken to the camp . S.Ilango, Joint Commissioner of HR and CE, would see off the elephants at Tamil University at 7 a.m.

The camp is organised to help the animals to stay in natural habitat.

Balanced diet, including mineral, protein and vitamin tablets would be given to the animals.

Forward Bloc may get space for party office in Delhi

The All India Forward Bloc’s demand for a space to construct a party office in the National Capital is being considered by the government, but there is stoic silence on whether a memorial for its founder Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose will be considered.

The Union Urban Development Ministry is “actively considering” the allotment of a plot of land for the party that has just three Members in Parliament.

In an indication of the government trying to make it up to the party, rules are being tweaked to accommodate the Forward Bloc’s demand for office space. “As per the rules, a party to have a space allotted for official use has to have at least 11 MPs. The eligibility criteria as per the 2006 policy cannot be altered, but this is being treated as a special case. The Ministry is drafting a note that will be presented to the Cabinet for its approval. The final decision rests with the Cabinet,” said a source.

In recent times the Forward Bloc has supported the UPA Government’s decision to nominate Pranab Mukherjee and Hamid Ansari for President and Vice-President’s position respectively. It has, however, criticised the move to bring in foreign direct investment (FDI) in multi brand retail.

The party is unhappy that despite its founder Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose’s contribution to India’s struggle for Independence and the long standing demand for a memorial in the Capital to familiarise the younger generations with his legacy and pay tributes to him, subsequent governments at the Centre have overlooked the request.

“Since 1985 the All India Forward Bloc has been demanding a piece of land in the National Capital for the construction of a foundation in the memory of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. Over the years, the demand has been pursued with diligence, but so far it has been met with assurances and even in-principle agreements, but neither the Congress-led UPA nor the BJP-led NDA actually fulfilled the promise,” said party general secretary Debabrata Biswas.

Pointing out that the party has fulfilled every condition, including making the necessary payments required to be made, Mr. Biswas said: “There are so many buildings in the Capital that have memorials and foundations of the Nehru family, of Babu Jagjivan Ram and others, but nothing has been done for Netaji. Not even a piece of land has been allotted in his name.”

The Forward Bloc leader said after the party supported the UPA-I, he took up the issue of land allotment with the UPA leaders, but was not given any assurances. “When Ghulam Nabi Azad was the Urban Development Minister, there was some positive note mentioned in the file noting and we were asked to deposit some money as proof that we have the funds to build a foundation. When the BJP was in power, Ram Jethmalani had accepted in-principle, but nothing was done.”

"Work on the Integrated Passenger Terminal Building was completed in August 2012 except Zone-I of the building, which forms the extreme and of the domestic portion of the integrated terminal. The zone-I is expected to be completed by December, 2012."

According to official sources, the number of passengers (embarking and disembarking) utilizing the terminal facilities over the project period is based upon the traffic projections. 

According to statistical data, the total international passenger traffic handled grew at the rate of 3 percent upto the year 2008-09, 8 percent upto the year 2012-13 and 10 percent thereafter. Similarly, domestic passenger traffic handled grew at the rate of 3 percent in the year 2008-09, 12 percent in the year 2009-10, 15 percent in the year 2010-11, 18 percent in the year 2011-12 and 2012-13 and 15 percent thereafter.
