				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a much horrible, Trinamool Congress activist chopped off the ear of a gram panchayat employee in West Bengal’s Murshidabad district.<span id="more-17871"></span></p>
<p>As per Police reports, the employee, Hazrat Omar blamed  Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s party for assaulting him for defying party diktat.</p>
<p>Omar who was absent from office yesterday due to the Bharat Bandh during two day strike called by trade union, was accosted by the assailant today when he arrived for work.</p>
<p>Angered TMC activist with shouts of TMC slogans whipped out a knife and slashed the employee&#8217;s ear almost cutting it off.</p>
<p>Omar then rushed to the Baharampur General Hospital, and now is out of danger.</p>
<p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/TMC-CHooped-off-Panchayat-member-Ear-_feb21.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-17872" alt="TMC CHooped off Panchayat member Ear  feb21 300x190 TMC’s Goondaraj: Party activists chop off Panchanyat employee’s ear" src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/TMC-CHooped-off-Panchayat-member-Ear-_feb21-300x190.jpg" width="300" height="190" title="TMC’s Goondaraj: Party activists chop off Panchanyat employee’s ear" /></a></p>
<p>As the incident went on air, BJP and Congress are being active, criticized for such shocking incident, calling &#8220;barbaric&#8221; and a &#8220;Taliban-type&#8221; act to make TMC’s goondaraj.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the Trinamool has denied the entire allegation and called the man a fake one who roughed up by the political rivals.</p>

<p>Shinde regretted over his &#8220;Hindu terror&#8221; remarks, following the demand of Opposition Leader Sushma Swaraj to withdraw comments and tender an apology, unless an agitation boycotts him in Parliament.</p>
<p>“The budget session begins from 21 February and on 22 February Parliament will sit for normal transaction of business. Budget will be tabled later. So you first solve this problem,” Swaraj told reporters.</p>
<p>Despite Shinde’s regret, the main Opposition is expected to be stormy over issues like corruption and inflation, mainly VVIP Chopper Deal Scandal.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Parliament Budget Session with three-month long period will begin today, addressing by President Pranab Mukherjee in which the agenda of 16 major Bills hopes to be introduced which inclues three ordinances and passage of 35 bills, sources said.</p>
<p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Sushil-Kumar-Shinde_feb21.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-17832" alt="Sushil Kumar Shinde feb21 300x200 Parliament Budget Session beginning, Shinde eats his words on ‘Hindu Terror’" src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Sushil-Kumar-Shinde_feb21-300x200.jpg" width="300" height="200" title="Parliament Budget Session beginning, Shinde eats his words on ‘Hindu Terror’" /></a></p>
<p>The Railway Budget will be presented on February 26, the Economic Survey the next day and the General Budget on February 28.</p>
<p>To ensure smooth functioning of Parliament Session which is most important for UPA, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has already announced that it is ready to discuss all issues and order any kind of probe into the Italian AgustaWestland chopper scam.</p>
<p>Mr. Singh, even Congress leaders too appealed all parties to join hands in the upcoming Budget session to make it productive, constructive session for finding ways to face formidable challenges.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Seeking special relationship with India, UK Prime Minister David Cameron met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today discussing more issue including Defence Deal Scandal.<span id="more-17753"></span></p>
<p>As per official reports, Defence Minister AK Antony who threatened last week to cancel the AW contract is not part of PM’s delegation holding talks as not required.</p>
<p>Defence deals along with business, education ties and terrorism counteract activities are the major issue on Delegation’s Talk agenda.</p>
<p>Much expectation is of taking up the issue of Anglo-Italian firm AgustaWestland Chopper Deal inked in 2010 with India for supply of 12 VVIP helicopters.</p>
<p>Mr. Singh said that the &#8220;serious concerns&#8221; has been raised over the alleged kickbacks in the Rs. 3600 crore VVIP Chopper deal to his British counterpart David Cameron.</p>
<p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Cameron-Manmohan_feb19.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-17755" alt="Cameron Manmohan feb19 300x186 India UK defence talks: Cameron In, Antony left out" src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Cameron-Manmohan_feb19-300x186.jpg" width="300" height="186" title="India UK defence talks: Cameron In, Antony left out" /></a></p>
<p>UK is the only one has provided an interim reply as AgustaWestland is a UK subsidiary of Finmeccanica and India sought more assistance from Cameron.</p>
<p>Mr. Cameron has initially wash out his hands, saying VVIP chopper deal is a matter between India and Italy and he had no doubts over the dealings of AgustaWestland in Britain.</p>
<p>Mr Cameron on Monday arrived India during his three days Trade Visit, as per him AgustaWestland is an excellent company with highly skilled workers and</p>
<p>AgustaWestlland is the subsidiary of Finmeccanica whose CEO Giuseppe Orsi was arrested along with AgustaWestland CEO Bruno Spagnolini by Italian investigators alleged 51 million Euros kickbacks of Deal to make the contract in favour of AgustaWestland.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Amid alleged kickbacks in VVIP Chopper deal scandal, Defence Miniser AK Antony on Tuesday dismissed reports about his resigning, saying he was ready for Parliament session to begin.<span id="more-17749"></span></p>
<p>&#8220;We have nothing to hide. We are prepared to face Parliament,&#8221; Antony told reporters, adding, &#8220;I am sad over the allegations of kickbacks despite taking all precautions at all stages.&#8221;</p>
<p>Refusing to have any difference in the government or with the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) to deal the issue, Antony said that there was no political decision in India in defence procurement.</p>
<p>He opposed the VVIP Deal Cancellation with Italian company Finmeccanica over bribes charges, suggesting some wrongdoing had happened in the VVIP chopper supply.</p>
<p>&#8220;Something happened somewhere&#8221; in the AgustaWestland deal for supply of 12 helicopters, Antoby told reporters, added the govt is waiting the CBI report which would expose the truth about the deal.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>UPA government is ready for discussion over VVIP Chopper deal scandal in Parliament, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said Monday, as per reports.  <span id="more-17727"></span></p>
<p>From PM’s statement it has been cleared that UPA is not under any pressure to debate about alleged corruption in the $750 mn (Rs.3,600 crore) deal for supply of 12 helicopters to India, even as CBI and MoD left for Italy to collect evidences over the scandal.</p>
<p>The Opposition party BJP is also ready to hit back the government, raising the chopper scam in Parliament forcefully in the budget session beginning Feb 21.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, a long and bitter war begins in Indian political parties as Opposition demanded clear cut answers over the questions raised in the alleged kickbacks in VVIP Chopper deal.</p>
<p>The trial proceedings has begun against Finmeccanica CEO Guiseppe Orsi in Milan, Italy where Indian authorities with External Affairs  headed to get detailed information over scam, but Italian court refusing to share it with India.</p>
<p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/PM-CHopper-Deal_feb19.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-17728" alt="PM CHopper Deal feb19 300x212 Chopper Deal Scandal: UPA ready for debate in House: PM" src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/PM-CHopper-Deal_feb19-300x212.jpg" width="300" height="212" title="Chopper Deal Scandal: UPA ready for debate in House: PM" /></a></p>
<p>Sources said, if India has failed to get details of Italy judiciary, the probe conducted by Italy investigation agency could be scrutinised minutely, in which role of Finmeccanica has been mentioned in alleged kickbacks of AgustaWestland Chopper Deal, was signed with AgustaWestland, a subsidiary of Finmeccanica, in February 2010.</p>
<p>Moreover, the probe was going on at &#8220;many levels&#8221; with best method of ‘Letters Rogatory’, a formal request to a foreign court for judicial assistance which helps to get &#8220;concrete materials&#8221; from Italian authorities, External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid told reporters.</p>
<p>Over the Left and BJP allegations in VVIP Chopper Scam that UPA had kept Parliament in the dark, Congress said that its door were always open for BJP to ask any question in Parliament over the Defence Deal.</p>
