Modi Visit to Bhutan: A New Dimension Of India's Foreign Policy

Indian Prime Minister first foreign visit to a neighboring country Bhutan marks a new era in the foreign policy matters and a break from the traditional practice of visiting the big and developed countries. From its very beginning the new government has set its agenda clear that it prefers good relationship with neighboring countries and as a result on the oath taking ceremony all the  heads of SAARC nations were invited. It is a new beginning since India feels that without regional cooperation and development, its own development prospects are under threat and therefore all the SAARC nations should be taken into consideration and due importance is to be given to the regional problems. 

As Narendra Modi decided to visit Bhutan for a two days , as his first official tour many people may be wondering as to what is going on in the minds of makers of Indias' s foreign policy but for Modi and his government it is quite natural  because Bhutan is our natural friends and trusted allies.At the same time, since China is trying to develop close relationship with Bhutan, therefore, it is strategically important that India should assert its position in Bhutan .China has started building ports in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh and now trying to extend incircle India policy to Bhutan also, therefore Modi decision to visit Bhutan will not only strenthen India's position in this region but also save Bhutan from falling under Chinese influence. 

PM Narendra Modi landed on Paro airport and was received by his counterpart Tshering Tobgay.From there he took road journey to reach Bhutani capital Thimpu and on the way he was greeted by the large number of people. The visit is very important as India wishes to ensure that in future energy supply from Bhutan is uninterrupted. India also assured Bhutan that it will held Bhutan to produce 10000 MW of hydral electricity by providing both financial and technological help . India futher assured Bhutan that it will double the amount of scholarship given to Bhutani students. Bhutan also assured India that it will not allow anti Indian forces to operate from its land.To promote regional cooperation Modi suggested that India , Bhutan and Nepal should organize an annual hill sports meet to promote cultural bonding among them.

Modi also addressed Parliament of Bhutan and assured the members and people that India will always be ready to help Bhutan development plans.The king of Bhutan appreciated India's concerns for regional development. Modi said "I said a while backBfor B.The clour of our passports may be different but our thinking is the same.India stands committed to Bhutan'happiness and progress."Modi was concious about India's unilaterak decision to withdrawal of subsidies on LPG and Kerosene oil therefore; he asserted "Our hydropower cooperation with Bhutan is a classic exampke of win-win cooperation abd a model for the entire region."Modi also inaugerated Supreme Court building which was built with Indian assistance.Both the sides expressed their satisfaction on the visit.

INS Vikramaditya Introduction to Indian Navy

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has dedicated INS VIKRAMADITYA to Indian navy on 14th June 2014 and it marked the beginning of a new era of military build up in the Indian Ocean. It is an important day of Indian navy to acquire and operate 45000 tonnes class warship that will increase maritime muscles as it will carry 34 aircrafts of MiG-29k and helicopters.It will replace aging 55 years old Viraat aircraft carrier .The PM decision to be on the board of INS VIKRAMADITYA as his first outing again points out the urgency and importance the new government is giving to modernization of Indian navy. It is essential in modern security scenario as India is surrounded by hostile countries from most of the sides. 

       Goa Chief Minister welcoming PM Narendra Modi on INS VIKRAMADITYA

Keeping the security scenario in the view, the NDA government in 2004 purchased Russian Admiral Gorshkov later named as INS VIKRAMADITYA at the cost of$ 800 million dollars and further ordered the purchase of 45MiG-29K at the cost of $2.0 dollors.There was inordinate delay and over running of the cost in acquiring the vikramaditya which has delayed  India's process of the modernisation of navy but all is well that ends well.Now everybody knows that in modern warfare the role of navy will be very important therefore the government has decided to go for modernization of all the three wings of Indian army and PM has stressed on indigenisation of defence production and even propogated hundred percent FDI in the defence sector. Indian navy has to take care of huge strategic interests in this region therefore it has already ordered 44 warships at the cost of over Rs. two lakh crore.

         INS VIKRAMADITYA (after refitting)

The story of acquiring Admiral Gorshkov is full of cotrversies and complexities as India decided to purchase it when it was decommissioned in 1996 by Russia due to its high running and maintenance costs.India looking for a replacement for its carrier INS VIRAAT negotiated the deal at $800millions whichwas the cost of refitting as carrier was given free cost but later on Russia went back from its commitments  and asked for a higher price
of $2.9billions citing various reasons for cost  over running but real ressons sre best known to Russia.After several rounds of negotiations, the deal was finally negotiated a day before the visit or Russian president Puttin in 2010 at $2.35 billions.There is a story that an Indian officer  Mr.Sujinder Singh who in charge of refitting of Vikramaditya has blackmailed Indian authorities and later on he was removed.The during the sea trial there was a problem in boiler which was removed.According to the military experts INS VIKRAMADITYA has a life of 40years and will not require any major overhauling as it is refarbricated by 70% and all its cables are new.Originally it has IBM launching barrels which were removed to create second runway.Therefore with all its new war fittings the aircraft carrier is capable of countering any type of naval threats.

                       Admiral Gorshkov (originally before refitting)

As regards to naval strength of other neighboring countries, only China has more fire power than India as its newly acquired  Warship carrier from Ukraine is of 65000-tonne and it is further building bew carriers . India on the other hand building 40000 tonne INS Vikrant to be operational during 2018-19.Pakistan has no Aircraft carrier as a result India faces threats only from China and the new government will have to keep pace with China. As  navy requires huge amount of money for its modernization and for the purchase of new warfare  power therefore a fine balancing is required to boost up military build up.

                                 MiG-29K to be deployed on INS VIKRAMADITYA

PM has clearly given a message to the world that India will not aim to threaten other countries but it will not allow other countries to threaten India. Therefore the role of 282 metre long and 58.3 metre high VIKRAMADITYA is very important to maintain regional balance. At the same time he  put great  emphasis on the indigenous profuction of defence equipments is very relevant as India's experience with Russia and other countries is not very good and they may not be trustworthy at the time of war.Furthermore after disintrgration of USSR most of defence production centres are in the other  countries that may not be as friendly to India as is Russia therefore it is better for India to find out some reliable supplier of arms and equipments.

Chaos in Iraq: A Failure of Peace Process In The Middle East

Iraq is in the turmoil as  jehadi fighters of Islamic State of Iraq and Syria(ISIS) are moving fast and capturing large territories of State of Iraq.As this news spreaded both Western countries and US government are under serious pressure to take corrective measures to stop growing presence of ISIS in this region. When Bush government decided to attack Iraq in 1991 under pretext of destroying the Weapons of Mass Destruction and to remove dictatorship of Saddam Hussein then nobody has the idea that where could it lead to this region? In fact US and allied forces attacks on Iraq were not carried out for simple military gains but for vicious economic and political designs and it led to not only creating more distability and disintegration but it also provided fertile land for the growth of terrorism. As it happened that due to the presence of US , Islamic militant groups started increasing their presence in this region and even recruited foreign fighters for jehad and in this process they were amply supported by many Arab countries. In the beginning it was Al-Qeada that led the fight against US forces and it went on to attack on WTO to take revenge for increasing presence of US forces in the middle east region. 

It is a well known fact that Iraq war was fought for the oil than any thing  because Saddam Hussein oil policy was anti US and therefore ,many US oil companies financed election of Bush and Chenny so that they get a free hand in oil exploration in Iraq.As soon as Saddam Hussein was defeated and US supported government was established in Iraq then first the oil related laws were changed and then US oil companies like BP, Chevron, Exxon and many others were given full control of Iraqi oil fields.It will not be wrong to say that the basic reason behind US attack on Iraq was to plundered natural resources of Iraq and it is the reason why ISIS like fundamentalist organisation got tremendous support in other muslim countries as people see them as an emancipator.

    Iraqi soldiers captured by ISIS terrorists

When finally US decided to vacate Iraq in 2011, then it neither strengthened Iraqi forces to face growing challenge of the Islamic terrorism nor there was well established administration based on equal representatio of all the sections of Iraqi society. Therefore the government in Iraq was dominated by Shia, and Sunni and Khurds were not only neglected but put to extreme exploitation. In the meantime there was civil unrest in Syria and disintegration of Lybia and the whole region was suitable for the growth of the terrorists groups and birth of ISIS like organization was natural. ISIS is born of regional wsrfare and Islamic fundamentalism and it harvested heavily on robbing cashes and extortion. ISIS aims at drawing a new msp of the middle east by creating a Sunni state including some parts of Syria and Iraq. 

Rise of ISIS in this region was supported by different forces at different times for different reasons. Both the PM Nuri-al-Maliki of Iraq and president Obama supported ISIS in the beginning to contain growth of other anti US militant organizations.As soon as they realized that it is becoming monstrous and difficult to reign then abandoned it but it was too late and ISIS by that became the most powerful force in this region and all other terrorists organizations were opposed to its ideology of a new Sunni state in the middle east. Even the Syrian president provided all kinds of support to ISIS  to have gains over fighting jehadis in his country but he soon realized that ISIS has bigger design than mere fighting against the other organizations. The great strenth of ISIS lies in the fact that its fighters are from Pakistan, Chechenya, Afghanistan and Saudi Arebia. As a result the whole middle east region is under danger of disintegration.

By 2014, ISIS has become the most powerful group in the middle east and it started capturing towns of Iraq. Its fighters are very bloodthirsty and barbarous and therefore Iraqi military has started leaving its posts unprotected or in other words facilitating the capture ot towns. Only 1500 jehadis of ISIS have seized six Black Hawk helicopters and plundered more than 2500 billion Iraqi Dinars from the vaults of banks of Mosul, an important town of Iraq as a result on 10th June the PM Nuri-al-Maliki has to declare state emergency and asked for the support from US and European countries. On the very next day these fighters even moved ahead to capture another town called Tikrit the birth place of Saddam Hussein and now they are moving forward to capture the capital city of Baghdad.

At the same time Peshmerga fighters, the security forces of Iraq autonomous Khurdish have captured vacated town of Kirkuk known for its huge oil reserves to fulfill their long dream of making it the capital city of Khurdish State.A police officer in Udhaim said that "we are waiting for supporting troops and are afraid that terrorists are seeking to cut the main highway that linksBaghdad to  north. "It raises very serious security threats to the whole region as capture of Baghdad will pose a new geographical map in the middle east. 

         Killing of Iraqi sdiers by ISIS terrorists

Many Senators have raised their voice of concern and asked President Obama to take suitable military action to protect US interest in the middle east. They blamed national security team for this situation and asked for sacking them.No doubt the matter is very serious and drastic steps are required to save the region of middle east as it will have both economic and political implications for the whole world. 

              Dead bodies of killed Iraqi soldiers

International implications of ISIS are far reaching as victory of these fundamentalists forces will disturb not only political and economic equations but also social issues as it will start Sunni dominance in this area.The immediate effect can be seen as rise in the crude oil price in the international market which will affect economies of both developed and developing countries especially India as it imports large quantity of crude oil from Iraq.At the same times it is going to affect social equations in the countries like Iran, Turkey, Syria and other Arabic nations, mostly dominated by Shias community.As a result Iran for the first time is ready to cooperate with US in the fight against ISIS .If fight continues for a longer period then things may change as support for ISIS may come from Sunni community from all over the world and mainly from other terrorists organisations that will complicate the issue, therefore  all steps should be taken immediately.There is exodus of more than five millions people from Iraq.

The power  and influence of ISIS terrorists is increasing every day as more and more jehadis are joining the group and in the light of weakened military structure of Iraqi government it is difficult that  their progress towards Baghdad can be averted by Iraq alone.In the whole issue again US is responsible as firstly it destroyef Bath army of Iraq abd secondly it failed to develop a strong army to replace Bath army in the post Saddam Hussein era.As a result the whole region was left on the mercy of fundamentalists and terrorists organisations.US logic of saving humanity from the dictatorship and misrule of Saddam Hussein stands exposed as  US invasion in Iraq not only destroyed a civilisation and its inheritance but also led to civil war in the whole region disturbing even social relationship.

The way ISIS fighters are capturing and killing Iraqi soldiers and police personnel are indicative of their vendetta towards Shia community and if Baghdad falls in the hands of ISIS terrorists then it will bring catastrophic situation in this region.It will lead to a sectarian war between Shia and Sunni just like as it happened during medieval times and the only country responsible will be US which for having gains from Iraqi oil had created this situation as Saddam Hussein was not in line with US interests in this region.Now what promted ISIS jehadis to select Iraq and Syria as their starting point of expression of their new regional nationalism.It is clear from the speed at which these fighters are capturing territories of Iraq that they are getting local support from Sunni population and members of Bath party.
The rise of ISIS is also a reflection of failure of new government in Iraq to involve all the sections of people in the process of nation building. When Saddam Hussein was removed from Iraq by US and a new government wss formed under leadership of Nuri-al Maliki then the government was dominsted by Shias and Sunnis were not only neglected but were kept out of main stream of power.The growing discontent among them was ably exploited by ISIS fighters.Then disturbance in the middle east had created animosity between Saudi Arebia and Iran as both the countries wanted to dominate the Muslim world.In doing so Saudi Arab supported ISIS fighters as a replacement for Al Qeada.Now US delima is that Obama doesnot want to send US army to Iraq therefore the next option is to support Iran to control ISIS but for many policy makers it is undigestable.As time is running fast even this option is running out for US , therefore US hss to take a strong step to protect Iraq from disintegration.

Karachi Airport Attack: PakistanTasting Its Own Salt

On  8th of June 2014 Pakistan has experienced yet another terrorist attack on its airport in Karachi which left more than 37 people killed and many more injured. It is tragic and unfortunate that our neighboring country is suffering from inhuman act of terrorism time and again but who is to blame Pakistan government or its army or ISI or terrorists or or all the four. But who are the sufferers ? Only the people of Pakistan who are forced to lived under threat and tragedy. Heavily armed 12 terrorists  dressed as the air marshall entered the Karachi airport  from the back gate and started indiscriminate firing in the every direction killing and injuring many people at the airport .But they were challenged by theASF and other security staffs.The bloody fight continued for more than twelve hours and finally all terrorists were killed making Karachi airport once again ready for the operation.

During the operation heavy weapons were used from both the sides and it resulted into damaging a few aircrafts and handler area . Pakistani police and army claimed that these terrorists belong to Wazeristan area dominated by Taliban group opposed to Pakistan. According to press release of Taliban group this was done to take revenge for killing of Taliban commander in the drone attack.According to Taliban spoke person Shahidullah Shahid "We will continue such attacks.Today attack on ASF in Karachi is in response to the bombardment on innocent people in Tirah Valley and other tribal areas."

Pakistan has been declared as factory of terrorism and how many terrorists groups operating in the country is even not known to the government. Therefore what has happened in Karachi is surely unfortunate but it is not surprising. In the beginning the government promoted terrorism for anti India movement as well as to consolidate its position in Afghanistan. Out of too many terrorist groups Taliban and Laskar-e Taiba and Al Qeada are more dominant and powerful. The growth of Taliban was supported openly and covertly by Pakistan for its regional aspirations.Pakistan President Zia -ul-Haq better known as the grandfather of global Islamic Jihad directed General Akhtar Abdur Rahman to lead insurgency against USSR.

Taliban means students, is an islamic fundamentalist group formed against Mohd. Najibullah government in Afghanistan in 1992.It is inluenced by Deobandi fundamentalismand Mohd.Omar is its serving spirutual leader since 1994.In the beginning Taliban has only 30 fighters but within months 15000 students from Pakistani madrassa have joined Taliban.With able support of Pakistani government they were able to control 12out of 34 provinces and by 1997 it captured military base of Abdul Rashid Dostum.When Taliban formed government, Pakistan was the first country to give recognition and ISI and Pakistani army supported Taliban to enhance its dominance in this region.After its association with Al-Qeada in the post 9/11, Taliban was included in US hit list and it led to a military attack on Afghanistan and destroyed and dismantled Taliban government.

ISI and Pakistani army have a great desire to use Taliban for its anti Indian movement but many ledears of Taliban became anti Pakistani and are not supporting Pakistani closeness to US. Therefore, today Pakistan is tasting its own salt.As we know that Pakistani army is against peaceful relationship with India therefore when PM Nawaz Sharif decided to visit India then both army and ISI vehmently opposed this move.When he didnot cancelled his visit then first Indian Consulate in Herat was attacked and now this Karachi airport.All these attacks are bound to affect peace process but can we allow peace process to derail?

Indo China Relationship :A New Power Balance in Asia

Indo-China relationship has been a matter of great interest among the political thinkers and policy makers.It has many phases and many dimensions since the beginning of 1950.In the initial days both Nehru and Chinese leadership tried to build up a foreign policy based on the principles of Panchsheel under which both the countries will respect boundaries of each other and will cooperate for economic growth. Nehru even said Hini Chini Bhai Bhai.But this euphoria was broken very shortly in 1962 when China attacked on NEFA border and captuered about 43000 sq.miles of Indian territory.Since then Indo China relationship became personality based than the principle based ie a few persons or politicians have iniatiated to bring back the relationship on track but these steps were short lived and short sighted like visit of Atal Vihari Bajpai in 1978 and visit of Rajiv Gandhi in 1985.

Chinese leadership is highly unpredictable and highly unreliable in regards to its international relations. It has a close relationship withUSSR but it was broken as soon as tgere was a dispute on border.The same has happened with India when India opposed Chinese move to capture Tibbet and to utter surprise of Indian leadership China has claimed its ownership on Indian areas in NEFA.Therefore dealing with the dragon requires great pragmatism and sterness in policy matters. 

Modi government from its very beginning , is trying to create a new power balance in Asia because of its look east policy and preference given to neighbouring countries that includes SAARC members. .It is to be remembered that China was among the first few countries that welcomed Modi on his win in the general elections.It may be concluded that Modi has already visited China three times as CM an therefore he has friendly relationship with Chinese leaders but is it so simple. Modi love for China must be seen in the light of his growing alienation with US after denial of Visa to him.The Sangh Pariwar has taken this step of US very seriously and felt hurt and therefore prevailed upon Modi to keep a distance from US and welcome those countries which are defying US influence to invest in Gujrat.As Chinese investment flourished in Gujarat it further helped to develop smooth relationship between Modi and China. 

As seen clearly from Indian government cold attitude at the time of swearing in ceremony and reply to US at the last. Now US seems to be perturbed by this cold behavior of Indian leadership and change of US ambassador in India was the first few steps taken by the US administration to create warmth in Indo US relationship but still things are not attheir best and it gives sufficient space for China to fill the gap.China wa ts a government in India which is not pro US if not pro China.It will  provide China sufficient space for maneuverability in South Eastern Chinese sea where China is planning to build up an artificial island bigger than Deo garsia an  US military base.

Besides the military gains Chinese leadership is more interested in the economic gains from India which has a 120 crores consumers market with 100 billion dollar trade . Since India's gains from this trade is not big and  Chinese gains are huge therefore China will liketo see trade fflourishing. As a result the visit of Chinese Foreign Minister can  be seen in tgis light.Now question arises that can India go ahead with China at the cost of its relationship with US? India largely depends  for arms supply on US and its allies therefore for the strategic treaty to move on and  be strengthened  India  needs a fine balancing act in its foreign policy. 

AAP In The Crisis As Resignations Are on The Rise

In the post general elections the AAP is fighting a battle for its survival as most of its core committee members are deserting the party. There is a long list of leaders who resigned from the party and more importantly the resignations of Shazia Ilmi and Devender Yadav from the party and PAC has raised eyebrows of political thinkers.What has gone wrong with the AAP? The answer to this question is not simple as during the six months times many things have happened so fast that AAP was not able to match up with the pace of incidents.  Firstly AAP formed its government in Delhi then resigned and then decided to contest election on four hundred seats and then had to face Modi wave and many more have infact confused AAP to what to do and what not to do.No doubt there was and will be a great scope for the alternative politics in India but for a party claiming to occupy that position must have a clear vision and policies. It is this stage where AAP has failed to convinced the people that the new party is not for political gains and for occupying ministerial positions but for changing the corrupt system of governance. 

There are many inherent contradictions within the party. It is blamed that the party is being run by a coetrie of four people Mr.Kejriwal Mr.Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh and Gopal Rai who take majority of decisions and others have no say in policy matters.This led to great dissstisfaction among top leaders who felt disillusioned with the party ideology and decisions. When it came to the power in Delhi  on high emotions and voters confidence , instead of ruling the State and providing the people a taste of new governance it made mess of the opportunity and Arvind Kejriwal resigned on an issue which hardly convinced the people. Even during 49days of its governance it failed to impress the people who have great faith in it and huge expectationsfrom it.It ooften bewilders political thinkers that what led to Arvind Kejriwal tocommit a political suicide . Perhaps a novice in politics he over estimated himself and took a disastrous decision expecting great performance at the national level. But it is often repeated in politics that history seldom repeats in the elections.Without party cadre and political base general elections can't be fought and can't be won.

The disastrous results of the general elections not only created acromineous relationship between the party leaders but also created ripples among its workers. Now for every leader of AAP there are many remours about ticket distribution. It is this theory of allegations that led to the resignation og Devender Yadav from PAC.According to the inner sources of AAP, there are even allegations of sale of tickets by a group of leaders. At the same time it is also alleged that the decision to fight election by Kejriwal from Banaras against Narender Modi has neglected other constituencies which resulted into big flop show of AAP.It not only annoyed many leaders but candidates who were fighting for their survival against Modi wave.

AAP performance in Delhi not only disheartened party leaders but also the party workers.In fact. AAP had a great expectation from Delhi as it was its birth place and source of political experiment but the way it was wiped out from Delhi had broken faith of the party workers. Then after another disputed decision was taken by Arvind Kejriwal in the defamation case of not taking bail .The party felt that it will get massive support but its protest flopped and it further complicated already agrievated situation. Shazia Ilmi left the party on the groud that there is no internal democracy and Devender Yadav left the party on the ground of one man show.

Finally AAP central leadership decided to arrest the worsening situation of the party and convened three days meeting of the PAC to discuss burning issues. As reported Devender Yadav withdrew his resignation.Anjali Damania has also decided to stay in the party .Let us hope that every thing goes fine for AAP.It is often said that our political system is do complexed that it does not allow any new idea to grow easily and as a result every political perty after a point of time gets the same color.It is to be seen that for how long AAP is able to save itself from this process.
Since no important leaders from the party is representing it in the Parliament therefore, the newly elected leaders from Punjab will have to be inducted into the central committees and this will shift the power balance against the old leaders.At the same times there are ekections in other States and AAP has to accordingly plan for a better show rather it will be difficult for the party to save its house.In other words restructuring of AAP is the need of hour and for that one man show will have to give place for joint consultation.

BADAUN RAPE INCIDENT: A Blot On UPGovernment

"There should be justice for the family of the two teenaged girls.Voilence against women is a human right issue,not a women issue. Voilence against women is preventable not inevitable. The Badaun incident highlights the danger the women in India are exposed due to lack of toilets ."This comment of UNO itself explains severity of incident of rape in Badaun and deplorable record of SP government in protecting women.It also raises many serious quesrions of our effectiveness in dealing with issues related to crime against women.

The act of rape is the most heneous crime against the mankind and the severity of the crime cannot be described in words.But in India during the past decade the rate of crime against the women has been on the rise.It all reflects social attitude towards women as well as the growing perversion among the people.It is generally said that the society that doesn't respects women is not going to be progressive and bound to pay for its aurthodox and feudal outlook and India is one of those countries.The rape of two teenaged girls in Badaun is a blot on the forehead of the UP government.What is shocking that after gangraping the two girls,they were hanged from a tree.UP is a unique state because since indeoendencce it is divided strictly on caste lines and under SP rule this tendency of caste division becomes glaring.Badaun where the gang rape took place is a suitable example where women of the lower caste are exposed to every types of sexual assaults.These two young girls are victims of the system that prevails in UP under SP rule.

Among a few states of India where crime against the women are alarmingly high is UP.During the last year there were 30000 cases against women out of which there are 1967 case of rape.An astonishing fact and a slap on the face of the state government.But for the shameless politicians of the ruling party it is an act of mistake that takes place during the young age.It is very easy to use such words for the others but what is more surprising that such statements are tolerated in India.

Now for Samajwadi Party rape incidents are haunting like a ghost and with the passing of each day a new incident of rape is reported in UP.The recent case of Badaun is not only a rape but it shows how the administration of UP has been divided on the caste line and to which extent it has been corrupted and politicized.The incident in which two young girls of OBC has been gang raped and then killed raises many questions which the Akhikesh government needs to answer.Why did police not act when the incident has been reported?What did the government do when the incident came to its knowledge? Why did police not act in accordance with the law?

Just imagine what will be the mental status of a father of two young girls running from pillor to the post for saving honor and life of his daughters and police is saying just wait you will get your daughters as soon as they are free.And humanity was torned into pieces.This incident has raised the political temperature of the state and has been criticized by all the other political parties.The Central Government has sent its minister at the scene of crime and asked for a detailed report.

Even UNO has criticized increasing incidents of rape in India and especially raised question over Badaun.UNO has compared this incident with the abduction of girls by Boko Haram in Nigeria.It has happened for the first time that India had to face such a shameful situation.The NWC team visited under the leadership of Mrs.Mamta Sharma has enquired and investigated the crime and clearly pointed out the failure of state administration to curb increasing incidents of rape in the state.

                                        Picture of mother of raped girls

Now as if Badaun incident was not enough ,within the gap of two days four more incidents of rape have taken place at different places in UP.Nothing can be more shameful than this.Now as usual political leaders started visiting Badaun to show sympathy to the family but again it is a more serious question that can honour and life of the woman be compensated with Rs. five lakhs .But the father of the two girls put a slap on the face of the UP government by denying to accept state help.The state governnent delayed action inthis incident has further raised many eye browse.What is more shocking that the state government has tried to cover up the incident.The police officials involved in this case are not charged with gang rape,this clearly indicates attitude of the SP governnent.
