ACTION ALERT Against MONOPOLISTIC Aggression and PSU SELL OFF and Mass Destruction!


ACTION ALERT Against MONOPOLISTIC Aggression and PSU SELL OFF and Mass Destruction!
 
Troubled Galaxy Destroyed Dreams: Chapter 247
 
Palash Biswas
 
Dear Friends!
 
Let us stand United in Global Resistance against TRI Iblis Satanic Corporate Apartheid Manusmriti Imperialist Fascist Global Order!
 
Let us stand UNITED Rock Solid in National Mass Movement against MONOPOLISTIC Aggression and PSU Sell OFF and Mass Destruction!
 
For last few days I have been talking to Professors, Little mag Editors, Journalists, grass Root Social and Environment, Committed Ideological Marxists, Trade Unions, Economists, Journalists, Bamcef Friends, NGOs, common commuters in train across the country.
 
All of us realise that we have to RESIST and Survival Strategy has no ESCAPE route.
 
 We have to fight out to break the Enslavement!
 
 Since ILLUMINATI has taken over Indian subcontinent, the War is very DESTRUCTIVE.
 
 Since State Power has the Licence to kill and all anti People Legislation go on with Excellent Floor Coordination amongst UPA, NDA and the Left, not to mention the Third Front Stepony, we may expect Merciless REPRESSION against us anywhere anytime under the Umbrella of so called National interests, AFPSA, NSA, Twin Terror act and Citizenship Amendment act!
 
Illuminati Parliament is all set to enact the most Human Drama for Woman`s EMPOWERMENT, Social Welfare and Employment Schemes, human and Civil Right Violations as well as all time HIT HINDUTVA and Dalit issues to SUBVERT the real and Economic issues, Food Insecurity, Starvation, Displacement, Peasantry, Lay OFFs and lock outs, SELL OFF, Foreign borrowing Policy, Interest rates, Bail Out, Retail chain, SEZ, PCPIR, Nuclear Parks, nationalities and Identities, Bonded labour, Working Conditions, Disinvestment and Divestment, Planning, fiscal and Monetary Policies.
 
 The Anti People Bills have to be Enacted with All party Whip! For Eye washing Walkouts and Turmoils would GUILLOTINE everything in the way without any MINUTES for the Innocent masses already BRAINWASHED by Media, CIVIL Society and Intelligentsia!
 
Warning!
 
I have written about some IAS Officials, media heads and intellectuals UNDERMINING National Mass Movement whatsoever.
 
We have witnessed the PUNE MULTI Lingual BRHMIN SAMAJ Sammelan before the Loksabha Election which was attended by all the SHANKARACHARYAS and Hindutva Leaders led by Baba Ramdev , a NON Brahamin.
 
The SAMMELAN decided that the BRAHMINS and Caste Hindus should VOTE for CONGRESS discarding RSS and BJP as they may not Resist Mayawati!
 
Then Mumbai witnessed the UNPRECEDENTED Sant Samagam openly PLEADING for Hindu VEDIC and Manusmriti RULE.
 
The follow up was the CLIMAX as Baba Ramdeb arranged an OPEN Massive Meeting in Haridwar in Uttarakhand, the High Caste populated state and MEDIA heads as well as HIndutva leaders planned the CORPORATE mandate to CONTINUE the ECONOMIC Reforms.
 
Corporate Houses and Media, Icons all joined together to POLARISE Caste Hindu Vote Bank against Mayawati to VOTE for ECONOMIC Reforms and UPA. It resulted in RESURRECTION of CONGRESS and its DYNASTY Rule in all the three spheres , the Himalayan Region, The HINDI Heart land and South India besides in states like Orissa, Bengal, Gujarat and MP.
 
This CAMPAIGN wiped out Mayawati, the left and Lalu and Paswan as well. It weakened Chandra Babu Naidu, Jailalita and Sharad pawar, all the regional powers and identities with an unprecedented HYPE of National Interests based on Continuous hate campaign, Mis Information, brain washing and mind control as well as BLIND Nationalism.
 
Economic and Environmental issues, Nature , Natural resources, Nature associated people, LPG Mafia, Washington dictation, Strategic realliance in US and Israel lead, War against Terror,  Foreign Policies, Monetary and Fiscal policies, Bail Out, Human Resource Management and Revenue Management, Food Insecurity, Death Processions and Suicides, Job loss and Unemployment, Displacement and Massacres, CIA and MOSSAD activities and Subversion and even INDO US NUCLEAR deal had not DISCUSSED even by the Left or the Third Front!
 
We may not depend on these false Ideologies and False Political parties led by the Ruling Manusmriti Hegemony anymore!
 
It is KNOWN that the RULING HEGEMONY engaged FIVE Hundred retired or Retiring IAS OFFICERS, top Media Heads, Economists including AMARTYA SEN, Intellectuals and Civil societies to BREAK and PURCHASE, Co OPT the splintered MASS Movements Countrywide!
 
BE AWARE! 
 
 
What should we do as Hundred days INDIA INC and ILLUMINATI Agenda relating Human resource and revenue management, Economic Reforms, Displacement and Destruction on the name of Infrastructure, Resource Mobilisation, Capital Flow, Transparency, River Link, development, Industrialisation and Urbanisation , Information Explosion and High Technology is UNDERWAY to be IMPLEMENTED with full Political FORCE!
 
We have amongst us Dr Binayak Sen, just released after two years!
 
We have to make a WAY OUT Immediately to ENCOUNTER the Unprecedented CRISIS as we have to face the WRATH of PENTAGON, US Strike Power, CIA and Mossad activities and Almighty Illuminati money Power.
 
We have depended so much so on our Leftist Friends who have BETRAYED all the way all these SIXTY years after Independence and had been ENGAGED in striking Deal with National Manusmriti Rule to save Marxist Gestapo Hegemony for the Elite Brahmin families in West Bengal, Kerala, and Tripura.
 
 Third front was a TOOL of Bargaining as Left EVADED the RESPONSIBILITY to lead anti Imperialist Anti fascist Anti LPG Resistance.
 
Leftist Trade Unions are JUNKED for four decades!
 
 We may not hope any RESURRECTION as all the Comrades are busy to regain and recapture the lost ground in their traditional bases.
 
Marxists have not REACTED against the PLOT of Mass DESTRUCTION or the the ENTRY and Control of US Military Power in the Subcontinent, Never challenged the TRANSFER of Internal security to Mossad and CIA and never SPELT a single WORD against ILLUMINATI or India Incs.
 
The Killer Money Machine eats our Meat and Flesh!
 
Friends, Lest we PERISH without any attempt to Save ourselves and our people the Black Untouchable masses, we must react.
 
In Maharashtra, Bamcef Friends are already in Action Mode as they publish handbills, organise workshop and interact with Trade Unions. The Mumbai based Intellectuals and activists, Economists and educationists, govt employees and those in  Targeted PSUS have ACTIVATED themselves for Resistance and I hope them to lead us.
 
In Karnataka, kerala, Andhra and Tamilnadu, our Intelligentsia is already in move and they are trying hard to empower the masses and INFORM them Reality.
 
In New Delhi and North India, our friends are ACTIVE and looking for coordination in National Mass Movement.
 
But we fare very badly in Himalayan Region and Northeast as well as in the West in Gujarat and Rajsthan, Punjab and Haryana, in the West in Bengal, Orissa and Bihar!
 
We must publish special Issues on LPG and economic Reforms and hundred days Action Plans in our Little mags!
 
Specially in Bengal, the masses have been DIVIDED Vertically in favour and against Power Hegemony and Resistance Hegemony, BOTH led by Brahamins!
 
Buddhadeb Bhattacharya  is replaced by yet another BRAHMIN Mamata Bannerjee!
 
Then CPIM looks for a REPLACEMENT for BUDDHADEB as the Failed CHIEF MINISTER and focus on Another BRAHMIN ASIM DASGUPTA!
 
It is very hard to get any BREAK Through in West Bengal where most SCIENTIFICALLY Untouchability as well as APARTHEID are in VOGUE as CO OPTION Expert Brahamins are very EXPERT to readjust Demography and Purchase whatsoever RESISTANCE or Personality!
 
Most of the INTER CASTE marriages amongst SC and Brahamin Communities tamed the already educated and adjusted SC Intelligentsia while the OBCs NEVer RECOGNISE their own IDENTITY and tag themselves with Ruling Brahmins, kayasthas and Baidyas, still getting NOTHING.
 
 Muslims have been betrayed all these years but they behaved otherwise thanks to SACHHAR COMMITTEE Report and it has nothing to do with Mamata Bannrejee. Muslims had no OPTION but to VOTE her as they had DECIDED to DEFEAT CPIM!
 
Tribals countrywide are in DEEP SEGREGATION!
 
What should we do now?
 
We may use the mainstream Media thanks to some Committed  Journalist still SURVIVING in Print and Electronic media!
 

We may contact the friends in Eduction Institutions to mobilise the students and youth power!

We may also interact with the friends affliated to Trade Unions and Disillusioned with Ideology as well as leadership in InACTION!
 
We may ORGANISE Workshop and group meetings at every point.
 
We may interact with the masses where ever Possible.
 
Our NGOS engaged in Mass Movement may come out with their Resources and Manpower!
 
BAMCEF Factions working amongst Indigenous, Aboriginal and Minorities are in a better condition as far as National network, organisation and resources are concerned! They may relieve themselves from the CASTE War and read and circulate AMBEDKAR Ideology on Labour, Human resource, Land, Livelihood and economy.
 
Bamcef people are STRATEGICALLY best placed to convert their National organisation into a National Mass Movement.
 
It is GREAT Opportunity for the BAMCEF people irrespective of GROUP and faction, to lead national Resistance Movement since the Marxists hare still in BETRAYAL Mode!
 
Our Social Activists and environment activists and nationality Movements have ORGANISATION AL and RESISTANCE Experience, provided they chose to come out in the DEFENCE of the Majority Helpless St raving Jobless People, we may CREATE a National mass movement very easily whatsoever may come in the way.
 
We may use the BLOGS and groups and Website for National Global Networking and social network attracting the Young educated lot.
 
We may use the Mailing Lists to CIRCULATE and Forward the relevant Matter and Information and where ever and whenever may PUBLISH them on Net as well as in PRINT.
 
We should COORDINATE our EFFORTS and should not work for Personal Mileage under any PROJECT!
 
 We may DISCARD Personal EGO, Regionalism and Cultural Ideological Linguistic barriers to break the ARTIFICIAL Divide in Landscape as well as Human scape.
 
Himalayan region Kashmir to North East, Central India including the Hindi Heart Land or Cow belt and the South India should works as a UNIT as it happened to be during the STRUGGLE of Freedom. It is also a STRUGGLE of Freedom.
 
We must work for the ANNIHILATION of CASTE so that the CASTE RULE and Hegemonies and Power Equations of CO OPTION and Betrayals may WITHER AWAY. We Must work together for Caste less Classless Society.
 
 We must give the REQUIRED SPACE for Every Community and the half of the POPULATION, the Women!
 
Personally, I have experience to work under the leadership of WOMEN in UTTARAKHAND, Jharkhand and Dandakaranya and Even in North East.
 
 I may assure you that the Ladies are MORE COMMITTED, More Dedicated, More Sacrificing and More Faithful. WE must convince them.

Govt plans big-bang divestment
4 Jun 2009, 0049 hrs IST, Prabhakar Sinha, TNN

 
 
NEW DELHI: With Left Flag out of sight, the government is planning a big-bang disinvestment in the state-owned PSUs. It plans to raise over Rs
25,000 crore in 2009-10, not only to reduce fiscal deficit but also for expansion of public sector enterprises.

The disinvestment department, which was out of action for some time due to strong opposition from the Left parties against any selloff of government stake in PSUs directly or indirectly, has again come under the limelight. Leading merchant bankers are approaching the department's officials to get business in near future.

A senior merchant banker said the department is ready with a number of proposals of stake sales in the coming months. Draft prospectus of PSUs like Oil India, National Hydro Power, RITES and UTI Asset Management Company have already been cleared by Sebi. As the sentiment in the equity market is much better now, these companies may decide to go ahead with their public issues soon.

A senior government official said when the Sensex was hovering around 6,000 points in 2003-04, the government could raise Rs 15,500 through divestments. With Sensex around 14,500 now, government can think of raising anything upwards of Rs 25,000 crore.

The main chunk of fund, a source said, would come from the divestment of government stakes in blue chip companies like BSNL, MMTC, NMDC, Coal India, NTPC and NALCO. Disinvestment of up to 10% in BSNL alone could fetch around Rs 20,000 crore.

Similarly, the market capitalisations of MMTC and NMDC are at present around Rs 1,60,000 crore and Rs 1,40,000 crore respectively, with government's holdings around 99%. Divestments in these companies can also raise substantial funds, the source added.

According to a Religare report on disinvestment, a government committee had already recommended selloff of stakes in 25 companies. But, because of opposition from Left parties, the government could not proceed. As the scenario has changed now, government is likely to go ahead with disinvestment of its stakes in these companies.

Besides these companies, government had also planned to do strategic sale in many other companies but could not proceed due to opposition from allies. In Bharat Aluminium, the government had sold 51% stake to Sterlite Industries, which is now called Vedanta. As per the original agreement with Vedanta, the government should sale the remaining stake also. As management has been already transferred to the private partner, the government is considering to exit the company.
 
Govt to prepare roadmap for PSU divestment: President
 

NEW DELHI: In what may boost the capital market, the government on Thursday announced to sell equity in PSUs through public offers but committed that its holding would not go below 51 per cent.

"Our fellow citizens have every right to own part of the shares of public sector companies, while the government retains majority shareholding and control,'' President Ms Pratibha Patil said in her address to the joint session of Parliament.

She said the government will set a timeframe for listing of public sector undertakings.

"My government will develop a roadmap for listing and people-ownership of public sector undertakings while ensuring that government equity does not fall below 51 per cent,'' she said.

At present, public offers of two PSUs -- Oil India and NHPC -- are pending.

While initial public offer of Oil India Ltd, the country's second largest state-run explorer, is likely to hit markets in September, NHPC is expected in August.

Oil India Chairman Mr N M Borah had said earlier this week the company has initiated discussions with its IPO adviser's to decide on the timing.

"Stock markets are reviving and so we have started dialogues again with advisers for the IPO,'' he had said. - PTI

SEBI issues show-cause to Anil Ambani mutual fund companies
4 Jun 2009, 1852 hrs IST, PTI

 
 
MUMBAI: Market regulator SEBI on Thursday asked mutual fund arms of Anil Ambani Group (ADAG) to explain why they violated prescribed advertising
norms in launching a new scheme to avert any action.

In a show cause notice, SEBI asked Reliance Mutual Fund and Reliance Asset Capital Management why there should not be a "restraint" on any new scheme by them in view of violations in audio visual advertisement of an infrastructure fund.

"Reliance Mutual Fund and Reliance Asset Capital Management Limited are directed to show cause as to why they should not be restrained from launching any new schemes for an appropriate period for violations," SEBI said in its order yesterday.

SEBI also asked these companies to withdraw the advertisement immediately in the current form and issue it again as per the regulator's norms.

As per the SEBI's norms, any audio visual advertisement for mutual funds should display standard warning for five seconds so that investors are able to take well informed investment decisions.

However, the time for display and voice over of the standard warning in the advertisement for Reliance Infrastructure Fund is for less than five seconds and thus not in compliance with the SEBI norms, the order said.

"The rapid fire manner in which the standard warning as recited in the audio visual renders it unintelligible. This leads to a situation where the investors are not able to take well informed investment decision... This is a serious violation," the order said.

Besides, market regulator's norms also require companies to submit these advertisements to SEBI within seven days from the date of issue.

However, Reliance Mutual Fund has submitted the compact disc of advertisement clippings for new fund offer (NFO) on June 3 even when the NFO opened on May 25.

SEBI said its order may be treated as a show cause notice and Reliance Mutual Fund and Reliance Capital Asset Management Limited may submit their reply within 15 days.

The companies may seek personal hearing in the matter.

HRD ministry to issue notice to college owned by union minister
4 Jun 2009, 1805 hrs IST, PTI

 
 
NEW DELHI: A medical college said to be run by Union Minister S Jagathrakshakan has run into problems with Union HRD Ministry on Thursday deciding
to serve a notice to it threatening action on the issue of huge capitation fees allegedly demanded by it from students.

The Ministry would be serving a notice to Bharat University of which Shree Balaji Medical College in Tamil Nadu said to be owned by Minister of State in the Information and Broadcasting, is a constituent, seeking to know why the deemed university status should not be withdrawn and other appropriate action not initiated against it, ministry sources said. ( Watch )

The Ministry has also decided to serve a notice to Sri Ramachandra University.

The Ministry's action followed media reports that officials of Shree Balaji Medical College and Sri Ramachandra University and allegedly demanded capitation fees in the range of Rs 12-20 lakh, a charge denied by Jagathrakshakan.

HRD Minister Kapil Sibal, who reviewed the process for declaring an institution as a 'Deemed to be University' directed the University Grants Commission (UGC) to keep "in abeyance" all pending proposals till a thorough review of the functioning of the existing such institutions was undertaken.

Sibal reviewed the process for according deemed-to-be university to status to institutions in view of the concerns expressed in various quarters, the Ministry said.

The Minister also asked the UGC to take up a review of the functioning of all deemed-to-be universities and report the deficiencies within three months with respect to maintenance of standards especially with regard to availability of the qualified faculty and the infrastructure.

The review would also cover the sanctity of the admission process for enrolment of students, the ministry said.

There are about 125 deemed universities functioning in the country now.
 
Growth, internal security key priorities: President

NEW DELHI: President Pratibha Patil on Thursday outlined the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government's broad agenda for the next five years,
Joint session of Parliament

with economic revival, infrastructure development, financial sector reforms and divestments in state-run enterprises being accorded high priority. ( Watch )

"Our immediate priority must be to focus on management of the economy that will counter the effect of the global slowdown by a combination of sectoral and macro-level policies," Patil said during her address to a joint session of Parliament.

"My government will focus attention on sectors that are adversely affected - especially small and medium enterprises, exports, textiles, commercial vehicles, infrastructure and housing," she said.

This was the President's first joint address after the general elections that gave a second term to the UPA government under Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and constituted the 15th Lok Sabha. Her speech was earlier cleared by the cabinet.

The President also said the government will seek to remove bottlenecks and delays in implementing infrastructure projects, especially in the railways, power, highways, ports, airports and rural telecom sectors.

"Infrastructure is a fundamental enabler for a modern economy and infrastructure development will be a key focus area for the next five years. Public investment in infrastructure is of paramount importance," Patil maintained.

She ruled out privatisation of state-run enterprises, but said a road map will be prepared for the public at large to hold stakes in them and to list them on stock exchanges.

"Our fellow citizens have every right to own part of the shares of public sector companies while the government retains majority shareholding and control," she said, adding the state will continue to hold 51 percent or higher control.

The President also hinted at reforms in the financial sector, saying steps will be taken to pump more capital into banks and enact legislation to set up a pension regulator - a precursor to allowing foreign equity in this area.

"Our country has benefited from large foreign direct investment flows in recent years. These flows, especially foreign direct investment, need to be encouraged through an appropriate policy regime," she said.

"There is also a need to augment resources in the banking and insurance sectors in order to permit them to serve the needs of the society better."

The President said in no uncertain terms that subsidies needed to be reoriented as finding money for infrastructure and other developmental projects will be a daunting task, especially since the government was committed to fiscal responsibility.

"This will require that all subsidies reach only the truly needy and poor sections of our society. A national consensus will be created on this issue and necessary policy changes implemented," Patil maintained.

Zero tolerance towards terrorism: President
Zero tolerance towards terrorism and stern measures to handle both insurgency and Left-wing extremism are some of the tasks before Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's government as it puts in place a plan to strengthen internal security, President Pratibha Patil mentioned in her address.

"The government has already made a detailed plan to address internal security challenges to be implemented in a time-bound manner," Patil said.

Some of the areas that have already been activated include the multi-agency centre for intelligence sharing and the National Investigation Agency that has been empowered to handle terror related offences.

"A national counter-terrorism centre will be established to take pro-active anti-terrorism measures. Special forces and quick response teams will be raised and deployed in vulnerable areas," Patil said.

The President also mentioned that while the government would pursue police reform, the participation of citizenry in community policing will be promoted.

"Communal harmony shall be preserved at all costs. The mandate my government received was unmistakable in that the people wanted the country's secular fabric to be protected," Patil said.

"With this objective my government will seek early approval of the bill introduced in Parliament for the prevention of communal violence," she added.

Internal security and preservation of communal harmony are among the 10 broad areas of priority for the government over the next five years.

 Kashmir resolution essential for lasting peace: Pakistan
4 Jun 2009, 1949 hrs IST, PTI

ISLAMABAD: Heightening its rhetoric on Kashmir, Pakistan on Thursday said a "fair and just" solution to the long-standing issue with India was
essential for lasting peace in the region and rejected as "untenable" attachment of any pre-conditions to the resumption of the peace process.

Attaching any pre-conditions to the resumption of parleys would be "untenable," Foreign Office spokesman Abdul Basit told a weekly news briefing.

He said that a "fair and just" resolution of the Kashmir issue was essential for lasting peace in South Asia.

Basit was responding to a question about India linking resumption of the composite dialogue to Pakistan taking action against the perpetrators of last year's Mumbai attacks.

"Without a dialogue, we can't understand each other and get on with resolving issues facing the region," he said and asserted that there was no question of any compromise on Pakistan's stand on the Kashmir issue.

His remarks came two days after Premier Yousuf Raza Gilani, in a strident anti-India statement, asked "occupying forces" in Jammu and Kashmir to stop repression.

Claiming that the Kashmir issue held "the key to durable peace in the region," Gilani had said "we also hope that Indian occupying forces will cease human rights abuses and violence will come to an end and a conducive atmosphere will be created for the final settlement of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute."

Foreign Office spokesman Basit said that Pakistan appreciated recent comments by President Pratibha Patil and External Affairs Minister S M Krishna about the need to resume dialogue and hoped this would happen "sooner rather than later."

Meetings between the Pakistani envoy in New Delhi and Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon and Indian High Commissioner Sharat Sabharwal and Pakistan's Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir were part of the efforts to see how the dialogue could be resumed, he said. In response to a question about the role of the US in settling the Kashmir issue, Basit said there is "a realisation in Washington that the issue needs to be resolved."

"We are working with Washington to see how best this objective can be attained," he said.

In reply to another query, Basit expressed concern about what he alleged human rights violations in Jammu and Kashmir and said Pakistan was hopeful that India would act on concerns expressed by several countries on this issue.

Basit also said Pakistan remained committed to nuclear disarmament, provided it was done in a non-discriminatory manner.

Referring to what he termed as the asymmetry in conventional and nuclear capabilities in the region, he said Pakistan did not want an arms race, but could not be "oblivious to the imperative of maintaining a credible nuclear deterrence."

Pak troops to stay in Swat for a year

4 Jun 2009, 0023 hrs IST, AP
MINGORA: The military offensive to expel the Taliban from Pakistan's Swat Valley could take another two months to complete, and troops may have to
stay for a year to prevent militants from retaking control, commanders said Wednesday.

The armed forces have secured control over several key towns during the month-old campaign in the volatile northwestern region, but the fighting has uprooted some 3 million people from their homes and triggered a series of suspected reprisal attacks elsewhere in the country.

Chief army spokesman Maj Gen Athar Abbas told reporters on a military-organized tour of Mingora town that it could take another two months of fighting to root the militants from all of their hide-outs in the lush, mountainous valleys of Swat and surrounding areas.

He cautioned, though, that two month timetable was "a rough estimate". Earlier, Maj Gen Ijaz Awan, a senior commander in the eight-day battle for Mingora, said the military is gearing up for a fight in nearby Kabal town where top Taliban leaders are suspected of being holed up.

Holbrooke says US disturbed by Saeed's release, reverses later
3 Jun 2009, 2108 hrs IST, PTI
 
 
ISLAMABAD: US Special Envoy for Pakistan and Afghanistan Richard Holbrooke on Wednesday said the Obama administration is "disturbed" by the release
of JuD chief Hafiz Mohammed Saeed but, in a reversal of that stand, later commented that it was "Pakistan's internal issue." ( Watch )

Holbrooke, who arrived here on Wednesday, expressed reservations over the release of Saeed, who is allegedly linked to the Mumbai terror attacks.

"His release has disturbed us all," he told Geo News channel. Holbrooke said he would take up the matter of Saeed's release with the Pakistan government.

But, the US envoy reversed his stand hours later at a joint press conference with Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari and Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, saying it was Islamabad's "internal issue."

"I don't want to comment on the issue at this press conference. It is Pakistan's internal issue. That's all I can say," he said, when asked to comment on the Saeed's release.

The Lahore High Court yesterday accepted Saeed's petition challenging his detention in the wake of the Mumbai terror attacks and ordered his immediate release.
