Sonia-libel suit dismissed
Libel suit filed in US for ads against Sonia
April 9th, 2008 - 12:00 am ICT by admin -
New York, April 8 (IANS) The Indian National Overseas Congress (INOC) has filed a $100 million libel law suit against three people associated with the Forum for Saving Gandhi’s Heritage for allegedly defaming Congress president Sonia Gandhi during her visit here last October. The law suit by INOC (US), which is part of the Indian National Congress, filed in the New York State Supreme Court named the three members of the Forum - Narain Kataria, Arish Sahani, and Bharat Barai.
The Forum, a newly formed organisation comprising several current and past members of the Overseas Friends of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), had taken out a full-page advertisement in the New York Times as well as in some Indian ethnic papers in the US, accusing Sonia Gandhi of violating many laws of India with impunity from the time she married Rajiv Gandhi, former prime minister, and “looting the country”.
She was in New York in connection with the UN General Assembly’s events Oct 2, Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday that the world body decided to observe as the International Day of Non-Violence.
The INOC, filing the suit through attorney firm Karasik & Associates, has demanded judgment against the three and an award of “actual, compensatory, special and punitive damages in the amount of $100 million” in addition to other costs and disbursements deemed fit by the court.
The lawsuit, filed last month, is not at the behest of, or in consultation with, Sonia Gandhi or the Congress party in India, Surinder Malhotra, president of the INOC, told IANS.
“When my leader is being defamed, it is my moral duty to protect her honour,” he said, adding that the controversial ad resorted to personal attacks.
The lawsuit noted that there is no legal entity known as ‘Forum for Saving Gandhi’s Heritage’. A website of the organisation was floated seemingly for the purpose of running a campaign against Sonia Gandhi, who the Forum felt was not fit to represent India at an event commemorating the Mahatma.
The lawsuit seeks to pierce the corporate veil regarding the entities variously named, including the Forum, “in order to reach the responsible malefactors”.
Kataria, who heads the India American Intellectuals Forum, which takes up various Hindutva causes such as its recent campaign against Christie’s in New York auctioning M.F. Husain’s paintings, has denied any knowledge of the INOC complaint.

Anti-Sonia advertisement: US court dismisses defamation suit
August 16th, 2008 - 11:42 pm ICT by IANS -
Washington, Aug 16 (IANS) A New Jersey court has dismissed a $100 million defamation suit filed by the Indian National Overseas Congress (INOC) for allegedly maligning Congress president Sonia Gandhi, saying it has no locus standi to claim damages. The defamation case arose from a full-page advertisement in the New York Times on Oct 6, 2007, levelling several charges against Gandhi and her son Rahul during the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) chairperson’s visit to the UN.
Monmouth County Superior Court Judge Patricia DelBueno Cleary Friday dismissed the case holding that INOC was not the proper party and did not have the locus standi to bring a claim of defamation because none of the statements were of or about it, Satyanarayana Dospati, one of the defendants, said.
A detailed judgment would be made available next week. INOC was not immediately available for comment.
INOC had filed two separate cases relating to the advertisement, one in New Jersey and another in New York, seeking $100 million in actual, compensatory, and punitive damages in addition to costs and disbursements, legal fees and other relief that the court might consider proper.
The defendants in the New Jersey case were the Hindu International Council Against Defamation, Mahatma Gandhi International Foundation, Hindu International Council Against Defamation, Mahatma Gandhi Center and Hindu Temple, Naresh Sharma, Satyanarayana Dospati and Sunanda Thali whose names appeared on the advertisement
The case in New York was filed against Narain Kataria and Arish Sahani of “Forum for Saving Gandhi’s Heritage” whose names appeared in the advertisement.
Both INOC and defendants in the case filed in New York have already filed written submissions and oral arguments are scheduled for Oct 2.
US court dismisses $20 mn lawsuit against anti-Sonia ad
January 16th, 2009 - 12:30 pm ICT by IANS -
Washington, Jan 16 (IANS) A third US court has dismissed a $20 million defamation suit filed by the Indian National Overseas Congress (INOC), which claimed that an advertisement in the New York Times maligned its parent party, its president Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul.The defamation case arose from a full-page advertisement in the New York Times on Oct 6, 2007, levelling several charges against Congress president Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul during the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) chairperson’s visit to the UN.
The case was “dismissed with prejudice”, meaning the matter cannot be tried again, by New Jersey’s Middlesex County Judge Nicholas J. Stroumtsos Wednesday.
The defendants in the case were Satya Dosapati, Naresh Sharma, Sunanda Thali, Mahatma Gandhi Centre and Hindu Temple International Foundation, and Hindu International Council Against Defamation.
Stroumtsos found that last August Monmouth County Superior Court Judge Patricia DelBueno Cleary had “properly dismissed the case” but left the matter for open for re-litigation.
Cleary had dismissed the case holding that the INOC was not the proper party and did not have the locus standi to bring a claim of defamation because none of the statements were of or about it.
The INOC had earlier filed two separate cases relating to the advertisement, one in New Jersey and another in New York, seeking $100 million in actual, compensatory, and punitive damages in addition to costs and disbursements, legal fees and other relief that the court might consider proper.
The INOC withdrew the case in New York after the dismissal of the case in New Jersey. But it later filed a third case in Middlesex County by amending the complaint to allege that its parent party the Indian National Congress was defamed instead of Sonia Gandhi.
However, Stroumtsos found that INOC was still not the proper party as it had brought the defamation under an alleged assignment from its party, which was invalid and void. Also, according to a Supreme Court ruling, libel or slander is “an injury to a person”, rather than a party.
Libel suits pertaining to Sonia fell flat

'Sarva dharma sambhava', not 'Secularism.' Tilak B. Shrestha, Ph.D. June
2006
Apparently some foreigners have come to Nepal and trying to teach us the
virtue of being secular.
Let us take a quick survey of today's world.
Presently there is not a single Hindu country in the world.-------- IS IT 'Secularism.'
Christianity is the state religion of 19 countries including Britain,
Greece, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Malta, Monaco, Norway, Vatican, Haiti,
Colombia, Panama, and Paraguay.
British queen or king has to take oath of
defending Christianity.
Costa Rica is legally secular but state supports
churches.
USA is legally secular, but both country and government has
Christian characteristics.
All the leaders including President and Chief
justices take oath on the bible, not on secular constitution.
Some of the
American states have mandated to teach the bible in the public schools.
Churches are quite active both in politics and education; and foreign
evangelism.
USA though preaches secularism supports Israel, a declared
Jewish state.
When South Vietnam was under US control, it always supported
Vietnamese Christians at the expense of Vietnamese Buddhist, which makes
almost 85% of the population. The martyrdom of many Buddhist monks for the
justice is a well-documented history.
Israel is created solely in the basis of religion of Judaism.
Islam is the state religion of 25 countries including Afghanistan, Algeria,
Bangladesh, Brunei, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Malaysia,
Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Tunisia.
Pakistan is created solely in the basis of Islam. By constitution, a
non-Muslim cannot be the President or the Prime minister of Pakistan.
A religious sect called 'Ahmedia' is officially prosecuted.
Bangladesh was a
secular country when created in 1971. But became an Islamic country in 1982
although about 20% of the population is non-Muslim.
In Maldives only Muslims can be citizen.
In Syria only a Muslim can be president.
Indonesia is legally secular, but
state supports only Islam.
In Malaysia non-Muslims are officially second-class
citizens.
In Iran persecutions of non-Muslims, especially a sect called
'Bahai', are well documented.
In Saudi Arabia, non-Muslims cannot take any
of their personal religious objects like a bible.
Buddhism is the state religion of 5 countries including Bhutan, Cambodia,
and Thailand.
There are 12 secular countries in the world including Nepal, India, Japan,
USA, Australia, Romania, France, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Turkey
and Azerbaijan.

Dear all,
While we're on the topic of rhinoceros and dirty democracy I just wanted to
say I just finished a GREAT book. "Identity & Society - Social Exclusion and
Inclusion in Nepal" by SNV's Social Inclusion Research Fund is a light read
but very informative. I enjoyed it greatly and am looking to read the
remaining papers that didn't make it into the book.

One of the CA members has been bribed bribed Rs. 50 lakh to propose

kill cows legally. Few weeks ago, a muslim tried to slaughter a cow, but
was rescued by this organiznation. Later the cow was worshiped by minister
Badu. 13 muslims were arrested in Nepalgunj for cow slaughter and selling
beef in Nepal. Later, they were all released. They proved that it was
indeed buffalo meat, not beef by bribing Kathmandu. Of course, media ignored
all these events.

how most economical (almost 11000 times ) raj dharma is as compared to
dirty democracy.
dirty democracy is the most rubish method of governance as proven in asian

west dosent hv democary they follow hypocracy with parts of raj dharma

Nepal Maoist's upcoming third uprising to set fresh revolt: Bhattarai
TGW
Dr. Babu Ram Bhattarai, the Maoists' Party ideologue and the vice president
has blamed that the parties currently in the "coalition government were
conspiring to halt the constitution drafting process".
Dr. Bhattarai was addressing a program organized by the Maoists' Party
affiliated Republic Coordination Committee in Kathmandu, September 16, 2009.
"If we are not allowed to draft the constitution in a normal manner, we will
be forced to take on to another path that may not be comfortable to those
who have been partnering the incumbent government", he added.
"The Third Uprising will set the framework for yet another revolt" he went
on to say adding, "The armed revolt will ensure a new constitution for the
country."
Bhattarai had earlier blamed that the parliamentary parties of Nepal were
conspiring to revive the constitution of 1990.
Dr. Bhattarai serving stern warning to the ruling coalition partners said,
"If the parliamentary parties do not come to consensus by mid-November, the
Maoists' party will bring some sort of hurricane in Nepali politics.."
"We will organize nation-wide protest programs after the month of
Kartik-November, 2009."
"We fought for 12 years from the villages, now we will shake the cities",
Bhattarai concluded.
Dr. Bhattarai coincidently has made such threat loaded remarks upon meeting
his Indian mentor, S. D. Muni, who was recently in town.
Mr. Muni is a declared Nepal hater.

And by the way needed to tell you that Prof. Muni happens to be Nepal's
friend, however, he preferred Maoists the most.
From: Ashutosh Shrivastav shrivastavashutosh@yahoo.com
Subject: Muni's Interview & Planned Eradication of Hinduism
Following is Sukh Deo's interview to one of the Nepali newspaper. Since
Muni was copied in few emails that we exchanged, we expected a little change
in his perception towards Nepal. However, it didn't seem to affect him.
http://www.kantipuronline.com/news/news-detail.php?news_id=300260
I do not agree with almost anything that he says in this interview. I am
not sure whether they are his words or he is forced to speak this in
Nepalese media. The only common factor that Nepal shares with India is
Hinduism. Rest of things is illusionary. Common religion is what binds
Nepal & India together.
In Episode 73 and 74, Lord Krishna explains what Muni means:

http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=29E379DB2BCC25D5&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&v=r1HV5Zwjnh0
Hindu Organizations/People:
Please maintain a check of what few Indian politicians and diplomats say
about Nepal and what role do they exactly play. It is because of few
ignorant diplomats, India and Indians are perceived notorious in Nepalese
society. As we all know, Nepal was the only Hindu Kingdom in the world.
With the congress government in power, Nepal's monarchy was abolished and
the country was declared secular. We all know that religion was never an
issue for Nepal. However, a Ghost suddenly edited the Interim constitution
and declared the country secular. There are reports that Anti Hindu groups
are advocating for cow slaughter in Nepal.
It is evident that Indian Congress has historically been against Hindus.
Nepal's Hindu monarchy was abolished with the help of Indian government.
We, the UNN, summarily reject the forceful declaration of Nepal as republic
and secular country. We need the support of World Hindu
Organizations/Buddhist organizations to make Nepal a peaceful place to live.
Conversion is expeditiously going on; Hindus are forcefully converted every
second whereas politicians have kept the public busy with political agenda.
Nepal's declaration as a secular country is a matter of Shame for the Global
Hindus. It is a symbolic attack on Hinduism. The sooner hindus act, the
better it will be. As one of the members suggested, toppling the Congress
government could work in the biggest advantage for India and for the people
who support justice, peace, democracy, human rights, freedom and Dharma.
Congress's philosophy is against these elements; their core motto is to
destroy Hinduism, and do not employ democracy, human rights, peace to anyone
who is a Hindu.
