Book Release by Nandita Das

Terrorism Explained: A Graphic account by Ram Puniyani, Shard Sharma

Mumbai:19th August 2013:The book release was done by Nandita Das and Sharad Sharma outlined the content of the book. It is comic presentation of the theme of terrorism in current times. The Al Qaeda was formed by USA to control the oil wells in West Asia. They propped up Al Qaeda by using Salafi Version of Islam, in the specially set up Madrassa in Pakistan, with the help of US money funneled by CAI through ISI. The young Muslim boys were indoctrinated by distorting the meaning of words Jihad and Kafir. After the Al Qaeda helped defeat Russian army these elements of Al Qaeda become very destructive in Pakistan and India.  Similarly Hindutva groups, led by Swami Aseemanand organized many acts of terror, In Mecca Masjid, Hyderabad, Malegaon, Ajmer. Both the words Islamic terrorism and Hindu Terrorism are wrong. 

Irfan Engineer pointed out that The word Islamic terrorism has been misused to arrest innocent Muslim youth. We need to look at social phenomenon. social values to dispel the myths. Actor Nandita Das, appreciated the effort with hope that comics will act a good method of propagation of the truth, it will go a long way to help dispel the wrong notions about the social common sense.


Dr. Rama Shyam moderated the program and hoped that this effort will go a long way to bring in peace in the society. Mahesh Mishra of Arth Prakashan proposed the vote of thanks.

Need for more wire News Agencies in the Media Sector 
-I&B Minister Tewari Participates in the celebrations

Minister for Information & Broadcasting, Shri Manish Tewari has said that taking into account the potential of the growing media sector and the flow of information in the news segment, there existed a case for more wire news agencies being established across the media landscape in the country. The potential was tremendous as these agencies facilitated information flow at the sub regional, regional and national level. The increase in number of news agencies would not only enable local based news being highlighted at the national level, it would also enable such agencies to balance news dissemination at the national and local level. Taking into account the diversity of information dissemination, such mechanisms would enable local issues being highlighted as prominently as those at the national level. The Minister stated this while speaking at the 52nd Anniversary Celebrations of United News of India, here today. 

Elaborating further, Shri Tewari said that there was an urgent need to outline sustainable revenue models. Quoting the instance of the digitization process the Minister said it was an attempt to bring about transparency and a long term sustainable process in the broadcasting sector which would help all stakeholders. The revenue models would also have to take into account the parameters that were addressing different audiences with the emergence of new media platforms and instant communication mechanisms.   52nd Anniversary Celebrations of UNI

Three days IDPD meet at Ludhiana

Date: 10.02.2013                  PRESS RELEASE AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE

9th National Conference of IDPD at Ludhiana from Feb 15
It is unfortunate that the world spends over 24000 crores of rupees on arms race per day. On the other hand 14700 children die of hunger everyday mainly in Africa and South Asia. There is thus urgent need to divert expenditure from arms race to health, education and development. Our organisation as an affiliate of International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW) – (winner of Nobel Peace Prize 1985) has been campaigning for the abolition of nuclear weapons, check on the proliferation of small arms, confidence building measures among nations through people to people relations so that the wasteful expenditure on arms race is diverted to the welfare of mankind.

Our country is one among those with poor health indicators. But because of continued arms race in South Asia we have to spend huge amount of our budget on defense. This is causing  adverse effect on the expenditure on health and education. Out public health expenditure is less than 2% of GDP. We need to spend a minimum of 6% to meet the basic bare minimum health needs of our people.

Our upcoming 9th National conference is therefore being held on the theme Peace and Development – A Public health perspective. During the conference we shall deliberate extensively on the issues of public health, peaceful co-existence in South Asia, violence against women, intolerance & violence and above all the abolition of nuclear weapons from earth.
