The Mumbai
Police Special Branch(SB)— I has issued a circular, alerting the city’s
police force about the possibility of highly-trained women militants
posing a threat to the city.
The group, identified in the circular as Girls’ Islamic Organisation (GIO), is a part of the 65-year-old Jamaat-e -Islami Hind and is said to be currently undergoing training in Kerala. “The group is being instructed mostly in the Quran and Hadis under their commanders,” the notice states, adding that the main purpose of the organisation is to tap extremist elements in schools and colleges in India.
However, when SUNDAY MiD DAY contacted the Jamat office, an official spokesperson vehemently denied the allegations and said they were planning to sue the Mumbai police for making defamatory statements against them. The SB circular actually names Sahela Baji as the head of the group’s Maharashtra unit. Another woman, Sumaiyya Muslim, is said to be readying the group for Jihad.
The group has a Facebook page with 3,177 likes and is regularly updated. “This is a one-of-a-kind group, which involves women. We have alerted all the police stations and the units across the state,” said a senior officer from the Special Branch on condition of anonymity. When contacted Additional commissioner of police Naval Bajaj refused to comment on the issue stating that they had no information on such an alert. However Mumbai Police’s official spokesperson Satyanarayan Chaudhary said, “The circulars issued by Special Branch are confidential.”
Jamat-e-Islami Hind angry at accusations
“We are not a violent organisation. Our job is to connect with Muslims across the country and do good work. We work for social reforms and fight for women’s rights too. We do believe in Jihad, but in non-violent, spiritual Jihad. We are considering legal action against the Mumbai police,” said Tauffiq Aslam Khan, president of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, the parent body of GIO.

Egypt President Mohammad Morsi meets Ameer-e Jamaat, leaders of other Muslim organizations
New Delhi, March 19: First democratically elected President of Egypt Dr. Mohammad Morsi, on his maiden visit to India as state head, called on Ameer (National President) of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind Maulana Syed Jalaluddin Umri on Tuesday. While meeting India President Pranab Mukherjee and Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh besides other political leaders, Dr. Morsi also invited heads of some Muslim organisations for a courtesy call. Besides Ameer-e Jamaat, other Muslim leaders who met Dr. Morsi at Hotel Sheraton here in Delhi on Tuesday evening included Jamiat Ulema president Maulana Arshad Madani, General Secretary of Jamiat Ahle Hadees Maulana Asghar Ali Imam Mehdi, Shahi Imam of Fatehpuri Masjid, Mufti Mohammad Mukarram, Jamaat media secretary Ejaz Ahmed Aslam and Rizwan Rafeeqi from Human Welfare Foundation.
During the meeting, Egyptian President Dr. Morsi and Indian Muslim leaders discussed bilateral relations between India and Egypt and issues of Indian Muslims.
Representing Indian Muslims, Ameer-e Jamaat Maulana Jalaluddin Umri welcomed Dr. Morsi in India. He said that India and Egypt have decades-old relations and we hope that restoration of democracy in Egypt and election of a wise person as president would strengthen the bilateral relations between the two countries. For different historic reasons, Indian Muslims have always felt close to Egypt. Ameer-e Jamaat expressed hope that the efforts of President Morsi to resolve the Palestinian issue will get success.
Talking to the delegation of Indian Muslim leaders, President Morsi said Muslims have a long history in India, they should present a good example before the country by their character. He urged upon the Indian Muslim leaders to focus on education and moral upbringing of the new generation.
Dr. Morsi expressed concern on the situation in Syria, Palestine and Myanmar and stressed on the peaceful resolution of their issues. Commenting on the present situation in Bangladesh and conviction of leaders of Bangladesh Jamaat Islami, he said these are the past things, the leadership of Bangladesh should forget these things and move ahead by taking all people along.
Maharashtra presents Rs 184-cr revenue-surplus budget
Even as 16 districts of the state are hit by drought and there is a
general slowdown in economy, the Maharashtra government today presented a
Rs 184.4 crore revenue-surplus budget for 2013-14. Presenting the
budget ahead of assembly elections in 2014, the government has proposed
to mobilise Rs 1,150 crore through various tax proposals.
Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, also the state’s finance minister, said the focus is not to impose additional taxes on the poor and middle class. He said the emphasis is on effective recovery of tax by plugging leakages. According to him, the revenue receipts would be in the region of Rs 1,55,987 crore and revenue expenditure, at Rs 1,55,802.6 crore.
Annual plan size has been proposed at Rs 46,938 crore for 2013-14, slightly more than Rs 45,000 crore in 2012-13. Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan said despite slow down and drought, the state's gross state domestic product will grow at 7.1 per cent, which is two per cent more than the all-India rate. The government has made an attempt to allocate 25 per cent of the total budget proposals for water.
Pawar has proposed to increase in tax rate of gold, silver and their jewellery from 1 per cent to 1.10 per cent and sugarcane purchase tax from three per cent to five per cent to raise fund for drought relief for one year.
Taking a cue from Union Finance Minister P Chidambaram, Pawar increased tax on cigarette from 20 per cent to 25 per cent and on bidi from five per cent to 12.5 per cent.
Excise duty on liquor has also been raised. Duty on country liquor will go up from Rs 95 per proof litre to Rs 110 per proof litre, and on Indian made foreign liquor (IMFL) it will be increased from Rs 240 per proof litre to Rs 300 per proof litre. For fragmented strong beer, the duty will be Rs 60 per bulk litre or 200 per cent of the manufacturing cost, whichever is higher. Earlier, the rate was Rs 42 per bulk litre or 175 per cent of manufacturing cost, whichever is higher.
Further, the government has proposed to increase the export fee of IMFL having a maximum retail price less than Rs 500. The fee will go up from to Rs 1 per bulk litre to Rs 3 per bulk litre.
Export fee on IMFL above Rs 500 has been raised from Rs 5 per bulk litre to Rs 10 per bulk litre.
Moreover, financial institutions will be liable to pay stamp duty on mortgage deeds. The institutions will need to impound any existing instrument for which proper stamp duty is not paid on or before September 30, 2013 and forward it to the collector for further processing. However, if the stamp duty is paid before September 2013, then impounding is not necessary.
Unmanufactured (raw) tobacco will be taxed at 12.5 per cent, with 5 per cent levy on textile for industrial use. The budget has also proposed to increase tax on certain powder, cubes and tablets from which non-alcoholic beverages are prepared from 5 per cent to 12.5 per cent.
On stamp duty
Flat owners in Maharashtra who have paid stamp duty but have not got the apartment registered will now be liable for stamp duty at market rate. “If proper stamp duty is paid on a registered agreement to sell, treating it as a deemed conveyance and subsequently, a conveyance deed is executed without any modification, then such a conveyance should be treated as a supplementary document under Section 4 of the Maharashtra Stamp Act and a duty of Rs 100 should be charged,” Finance Minister Ajit Pawar said.

बांग्लादेश में सरकारी दमन का मुंबई में विरोध
रिपोर्टर॥ मुंबई
महानगर के कई मुस्लिम संगठनों और बुद्धिजीवियों ने बांग्लादेश की सत्तारूढ़ पार्टी द्वारा वहां विरोधी प्रदर्शन करने वालों के खिलाफ की जा रही दमनात्मक कार्रवाई पर विरोध जताया है। इन्होंने बांग्लादेश सरकार से दमनात्मक कार्रवाई तुरंत रोकने की मांग की है।
ऑल इंडिया उलेमा कौंसिल , अहिंसा समन्वय मंच , ऑल इंडिया मुस्लिम मशावरात और जमाते इस्लामी जैसे संगठनों ने मीडिया से बातचीत के दौरान बांग्लादेश की राष्ट्रपति शेख हसीना पर राजनीतिक विद्वेश के तहत कार्रवाई का आरोप लगाते हुए भारत के राष्ट्रपति प्रणव मुखर्जी से हस्तक्षेप की मांग की , ताकि वहां न्यायपूर्ण शासन चले। वक्ताओं ने जोर दिया कि जब 1971 में बांग्लादेश की स्वतंत्रता बाद शेख मुजीबुर्रहमान ने 190 लोगों की लिस्ट जारी कर उन्हें युद्ध के दौरान अत्याचार का दोषी बताया था , इनमें से एक भी व्यक्ति जमाते इस्लामी से ताल्लुक नहीं रखता था। बाद में राष्ट्रपति मुजीबुर्रहमान ने इन सबको क्षमादान दे दिया था। 42 साल बाद नए सिरे युद्ध अपराधियों की सूची तैयार कर उन्हें दंडित किया जाना कहां का न्याय है। वक्ताओं ने बांग्लादेश में झूठे मामलों में फंसाए गए लोगों की तुरंत रिहाई की मांग की।
