MP plans to hand over 10 trauma centres, 13 path labs to private players https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/bhopal-news/madhya-pradesh-government-to-hand-over-trauma-and-pathology-centres-to-private-players-to-improve-health-services-101689670901339.html Shruti Tomar Jul 18, 2023

A second official of the medical education department said the state government will hand over 5,000 to 8,000 square feet of space along with equipment and machines of pathology, microbiology and virology labs of the 13 medical government colleges to private partners.

“The government will bear the expenses of the doctor, lab technician as well as their maintenance. The company will decide the rate of tests accordingly,” the official said 

Jan Swasthya Abhiyan (JSA), a non profit working in the field of health, said handing over pathology and trauma centres will not improve public health facilities but lead to deterioration.

“This whole structure and arrangement will directly benefit the private company and this type of contract will only harm the public. According to the information, it is possible the test rates will go up by 200% to 700%. Along with this, the government is also talking about increasing the participation of private health service providers in public health institutions in the second and third-tier cities of the state,” said JSA convenor Amulya Nidhi

The problems with the Data Protection Bill  https://www.thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/the-problems-with-the-data-protection-bill/article66531928.ece February 21, 2023 Anjali Bhardwaj,Amrita Johri
The Bill must be put through a process of rigorous pre-legislative consultation and redrafted before it makes its way to Parliament

First, the Bill seeks to dilute the provisions of the Right to Information (RTI) Act, which has empowered citizens to access information and hold governments accountable.801j - "information which cannot be denied to parliament,, shall not be denied to any person.. Based on the incorrect understanding as being applicable only to privacy exemption, this orvision is sought to be deleted. But the Shah Report has said "privacy Act should clarify that  publication of personal data for public interest .. should not be constitute infringement of Privacy...

Third given that government is the biggest data repository, .. the oversight body should be adequately independent to act on violation of the law by government entitites...

finally, the bill stipulates that the Data Protection Board should be digital by design.. this when 33% women have never used the internet..

Some media articles are lauding the Modi Govt for its turnaround of the public sector banks! Credit is being given to the present government for absolute success in NPAs, profit, growth in credit and resistance to external shocks. Yet, as of March 2023, the banks have accumulated 15,324 corporate loans with outstanding above Rs. 71,12,765 crore. This is the real achievement of the Modi government!

Though the government announced two years ago that it is going to privatise two public sector banks, it could not privatise even one so far because of the strong opposition from the United Federation of Bank Unions. Yet, using dubious methods, it has succeeded in reducing the strength of PSBs.

Now the RBI has come up with its circular on compromise proposals for wilful defaulters and frauds. Will that save the banks? No! The new cycle will start, and we will see another crisis soon. That means we don’t have a banking success story, either by NDA or UPA.

Notwithstanding the above, the need of the hour is to save PSBs and their character. They have a huge opportunity due to their branch network and customer base. The depositors still have more faith in PSBs as seen from the chart. If every one of them is given a loan, there will be huge growth in advances. For that, the employee’s strength should be at least doubled and outsourcing should stop.

Colin Gonsalves on Manipur: Winning Elections Doesn’t Absolve you of Crimes Against Humanity https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9241mDIeJE https://youtu.be/L9241mDIeJE?t=99 NewsClickin  Jul 4, 2023 
Union home minister Amit Shah visited Manipur and blamed the present conflict on a High Court order regarding the Meitei demand for Scheduled Tribe status.

Dr. Colin Gonsalves,  argues forcefully that Shah’s accounting of the blame is incorrect and describes the extent to which the Manipur government under N. Biren Singh was responsible for orchestrating the violence. Gonsalves, on behalf of his clients, is pleading with the state to arrest those organised groups which have unleashed the violence as a starting point towards peace. He also calls on the media and ordinary citizens of India to introspect and question the state of Indian democracy.

This interview was recorded in Imphal on June 25, 2023.

SC का बड़ा धमाका, तीस्ता सीतलवाड़ की बड़ी जीत,Supreme Court grants bail to activist Teesta Setalvad https://youtu.be/4sG3-qdSx2A?t=97  DESH NEETI

SC ने अपने आदेश में कहा - Teesta Setalvad गवाहों को प्रभावित करने की कोशिश ना करें | Kanoon Ki Baat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3k2ka0iEe8 NDTV India सुप्रीम कोर्ट (Supreme Court) में तीस्ता सीतलवाड़ (Teesta Setalvad) की जमानत याचिका पर सुनवाई की. तीस्ता सीतलवाड़ (Teesta Setalvad) को बड़ी राहत मिल गई. उन्हें सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने जमानत दे दी. गुजरात हाईकोर्ट का फैसला रद्द कर दिया गया. हाईकोर्ट ने एक जुलाई को जमानत याचिका खारिज कर तुरंत सरेंडर करने को कहा था.

Twitter @LiveLawIndia  #SupremeCourt grants regular bail to human rights activist #TeestaSetalvad in the Gujarat police case over alleged fabrication of evidence in 2002 riots cases. Supreme Court says observations in the Gujarat HC order denying her bail are "perverse" & "contradictory".

Teesta Setalvad Case | 'What Investigation Done In 24 Hours? What Was State Doing For 20 Yrs?' : Questions By Supreme Court To Gujarat Police Awstika https://www.livelaw.in/top-stories/supreme-court-high-court-order-perverse-contradictory-five-questions-teesta-setalvad-bail-233123  “On one hand, the learned judge has spent pages to observe how it was unnecessary – rather not permissible – at the stage of granting bail, to consider whether a prima facie case has been made out. On the other hand, the judge observes that a prima facie case under Section 194 of the Indian Penal Code is made out. The findings are totally contradictory, to say the least.” ...“Our limited understanding of law [tells us] that the factors that should be considered at the stage of the grant of bail are prima facie case, the possibility of the accused tampering with evidence or influencing witnesses, and fleeing away from the ends of justice. Other considerations include the gravity and seriousness of the offence. If the observations of the judge are to be accepted, then no bail application at the pre-trial stage could be entertained unless the accused has filed an application for quashing the proceedings under Section 482 CrPC or moved the high court or the Supreme Court under Articles 226 and 32. To say the least, the findings are totally perverse.”...

The bench also seemed critical of the adverse observations made by the Supreme Court in the Zakia Jafri case against Teesta, which formed the foundation for the Gujarat police FIR. Principle of natural justice is a fundamental tenet of rule of law, said Justice Gavai, after noting that Teesta Setalvad was not heard in the Zakia Jafri case, after the State of Gujarat objected to her locus standi.
