BADAL ASKS PM TO INTERVENE IN THE TURBAN ISSUE
Chandigarh February 28 – The Punjab Chief Minister today asked Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh to intervene “personally, effectively and immediately” to get the ban on the Sikhs’ wearing turban in France revoked.
Mr. Badal asked the Prime Minister to take up the issue at the highest level with the French authorities as the matter “is agitating the minds of the Sikhs and all right thinking people all over the world.
“Considering the highly sensitive nature of the issue, the matter was agitating the minds of the Sikhs all over the world . In view of the sensitive nature of the matter, urgent and immediate action was required,” said the Chief Minister.
Mr. Badal said that it was unfortunate that the Sikhs had been facing various forms of discrimination in several countries and the ban on turban in France was only symptomatic of this. He said that the Centre should show greater concern over these issues.
Regretting that religious intolerance was being allowed to become the norm in international affairs, Mr. Badal said that the ban on wearing one’s religious symbols “militates against the internationally accepted norms of human rights and preservation of religious and cultural freedom. It is amazing that such a retrograde step has been taken in a country like France which prides itself on its liberal traditions on freedom of conscience.”
The Chief Minister said that Dr. Singh, as a Sikh himself, would be well aware that turban “is one of the inalienable symbols of the Sikh religion.” As such, any ban on this amounted to crushing the right to freedom of religion and conscience.

GIVE DIESEL TO FARMERS AT 25% BELOW MARKET PRICE, BADAL TO PM
Chandigarh February 28 – The Punjab Chief Minister Mr. Parkash Singh Badal today asked the Union Government to announce a one time waiver of all agriculture loans and implement the recommendations of internationally acclaimed farm scientist, Dr. M.S. Swaminathan on fixing Minimum Supoort Price of farm products 50% above the basic costs of production.
The Chief Minister demanded that diesel being one the critical agricultural inputs, it should be made available to the farmers at 25% below the prevailing market price.
He also called for a comprehensive national policy on agriculture and said that in formulating this the views of the predominantly agricultural states should be taken and given due weightage.
In a letter to the Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, Mr. Badal called for “major long term initiatives on the part of Government of India are called for in order to provide a lasting solution to the farm crisis.”
Releasing the contents of the letter, Chief Minister’s Media Advisor Mr. Hardcharan Bains disclosed that Mr. Badal would raise these and several other farm related issues with Dr. Singh at a personal meeting as soon as the Prime Minister resumed duties.
Mr. Badal raised the issue of farm indebtedness and said, “The issue has
assumed the proportions of a grave human tragedy. Although the problem is countrywide, its severity in Punjab is the intensest. Because of the serious crisis that agriculture faces, farmers are driven to the extreme measure of suicides. The rise in the incidence of such suicides by the farmers and farm labourers is alarming and calls for a national response.”
Suggesting effective initiatives to fight the crisis, the Chief Minister said that as first step all agricultural loans should be waived as a one time measure.
Secondly, the system of fixation of Minimum Support Price for agriculture produce must be rationalized in the light of the recommendations made by the, Dr. M.S. Swaminathan. According to these recommendations, farmers should be given the basic cost of production incurred by them, plus 50% as profit. The Chief Minister regretted that the whole system of arriving at cost-price equation was flawed and out of synch with the practices followed in other professions like business, trade and industry. For example, said Mr. Badal, the value of land, which is “the basic asset for farm operations, is not taken into account while arriving at the final figure of cost incurred by the farmer. Same is the case with human resource as labour. These should be factored into the final analysis for calculating economic in-puts. For this purpose, he said, farm labour should be deemed as a semi-skilled human resource.
Mr. Badal also suggested the setting up of a team of agro-economic experts to constantly update national agriculture data to enable the government to take decisions in tune with the prevailing realities.

CNRI - Les déclarations du directeur de l’Agence de l’énergie atomique des mollahs mercredi, démontrent une fois de plus que le régime progresse à vive allure dans sa quête aux armes nucléaires. Gholamreza Aghazadeh a tenu des propos arrogants, disant qu’ «il est temps que les pays occidentaux et en particulier la nouvelle administration américaine voient la réalité et reconnaissent un Iran nucléaire. Bien sûr, même s'ils refusent de le reconnaître, l'Iran sera quand même une puissance nucléaire (…) L'Iran a atteint ses objectifs dans tous les domaines. »
Ces remarques, venant à la suite de l'ouverture d'un réacteur nucléaire à Bouchehr dans le sud de l’Iran, indiquent clairement que le fascisme religieux au pouvoir en Iran a accéléré ses efforts pour mener à bien ses projets nucléaires et acquérir des armes atomiques. La raison en est que, d'une part, il est convaincu de l'absence d’une politique de fermeté sur le plan international, et, d'autre part, il cherche à exploiter la demande de négociations de l’occident. L'expérience des sept dernières années a clairement indiqué que des négociations et des concessions unilatérales ont donné au régime les meilleures chances de se rapprocher de la bombe atomique.
Aghazadeh a également déclaré hier que l'Agence internationale de l'énergie atomique (AIEA), « n'a aucune influence sur nos activités à Natanz. Nous menons nos travaux selon notre propre calendrier ».
Se référant aux intentions du régime d'installer davantage de centrifugeuses à l'usine d'enrichissement de Natanz, au centre de l'Iran, Aghazadeh a déclaré : «Nous avons six mille centrifugeuses opérationnelles (…) Retarder l'installation et l'utilisation de centrifugeuses à Natanz, retarderait en réalité les opérations du réacteur de [Bouchehr]. Notre objectif est d'installer 50.000 centrifugeuses d’ici cinq ans. »
« Les capacités de notre nouvelle génération de centrifugeuses sont beaucoup plus élevées que celles existantes. Les capacités développées en Iran sont irréversibles », a-t-il ajouté.
Il a également annoncé que « nous aurons de bonnes nouvelles le 9 avril ».
Au même moment, Mohammad Saïdi, directeur adjoint des affaires internationales de l’Agence de l'énergie atomique du régime, a déclaré : « L'accès à la connaissance et la technologie, notamment dans le domaine nucléaire, renforce la puissance du pays, en particulier à la table des négociations, et oblige les autres à changer de comportement. »
