JMU/Arjun Singh are playing politics with a sensitive issue
by Rajnish on 2008-09-27 09:59:24.798855+05:30
In a democracy everyone has a right to get adequate legal support to represent his case appropriately in the court. A section of muslims believe its a frame-up by police and the only way to address such misgivings is to allow the law to take its course. However, the decision of JMU to provide legal support smacks of politics. By approving such an expense Arjun Singh has made it clear that he is an opportunistic politician who does not mind stooping down to any level.

Legal aid
by Sumesh on 2008-09-27 08:05:35.922834+05:30
If a student is arrested for raping a minor girl, will the University provide him legal aid ?? If not, why these students are treated differently !
Jamia VC’s comment
by Indian on 2008-09-27 07:45:29.108518+05:30
The decision of Jamia Milia’s VC Mushirul Hasan is unfortunate as public funds would be used to defend someone booked for terrorism. There is no provision under the funding rules promulgated by the UGC under which a university/college can defend an employee or student booked for a criminal act. His claim, that the university being an autonomous body was well within its rights to take decisions on such matters, has to be be questioned. It is also shocking and painfult to note our HRD minister comes to his defence.
Ask for records
by Ashutosh kaul on 2008-09-27 06:44:47.730015+05:30
Somebody should ask Mushirul hasan to show records as to how many other students before now have been provided legal aid by him. I am sure before now some student or the other would have been accused of some criminal activity in all the years mushirul hasan has been the VC. Was legal aid provided to them? If not why not? and why now ? If I was physically present in India I would have asked for these records under Right to information act. Can someone please do it?Extremely stupid action on part of VC. Arjun singh of course is a politico so that in itself is a matter of shame. His actions are totally based on vote bank politics ,not worth discussing. But I am really surprised by the VC , I was under the impression that he is a sensible person.

Terrorism
by Peter on 2008-09-27 05:42:30.603001+05:30
BJP is no different. On People money only, some years back, a special aircraft was arranged to give a very comfortable journey and safe exit for hardcore terrorists
Arjun's Statement
by Prasad on 2008-09-27 04:39:28.892069+05:30
Nobody is surprised to read commets of Khan Saheb Arjun Singh. We understand many Rajputs have givrn their daughters to Muslims in mediveal period to save their lives and Khan Arjun Singh belongs to such families and hence there is nothing surpising to read view of Khan Saheb or Maulana Arjun Singh on legel aid to militants.

Jamia VC extending legal aid to the accused
by Madan Sharma on 2008-09-27 04:00:12.142339+05:30
The Government Funds to any institution must only be used for the purpose for which they are given, They cannot be diverted, at will of the administrators, for any purpose they feel compelled or coerced into using them, The argument of using funds from fees and other student welfare schemes advanced by the VC is fallacious. Certainly these funds are not collected by Jamia to defend the perceived enemies of the State.If the VC and the student body of Jamia feels so strongly in the matter they should institute a voluntary fund drive to defend the indefensible persons. It is the duty of the State to defend the under trials if they cannot raise funds themselves. No doubt this facility will be extended to the accused if they desire it at the appropriate time. Therefore the use of state and student funds foe the unintended purposes is a breach of financial irregularity and it is strange that a Cabinet Minister who ought to be better informed in such matter is endorsing the action of the VC

Legal aid to terrorists !
by Sri on 2008-09-27 03:14:49.213647+05:30
Arjun, Patil and Fernandes have gone crazy and we should recommend psychiatric treatment for them immediately! They are not leaders but the worst politicians ever!!
Legal aid or a lawyer should be alloted to everycase, and this is state's responsibility.
by Suchita on 2008-09-27 01:10:30.27589+05:30
It is the state's responsibility to provide legal aid to each and every person standing in the box. If it turns out to be a terrorist, he or she does not need a special favour. The fact that Jamia Milia University has to do that speaks of the utter shambals that our legal system is in. It needs to be computerised first to the maximal extent, as otherwise this nation of 1 billion will be under the rubble of paperwork that no one can track efficiently. One way to eradicate the growing joblessness is to employ lawyers on a massive scale or contract them so that our judicial sytem can get on it's feet and perform well.
Arjun Singh and his big OK
by Sana on 2008-09-27 01:09:55.65117+05:30
Arjun Singh and all the other cronies of Congress and the likes of Mulayam, Lallu and Paswan love to be in limelight. They are a bunch of no goods who have already ruined the country and are living to see their masterpieces of destruction.
Arju - going Insane
by Rajan Sharma on 2008-09-27 00:52:14.629374+05:30
I love it. Arjun Singh's support for Legal Aid to terrorists shows that the old man has gone insane and must be removed from wherever he is. He, along with others, must be sent to Himalayas for spending their last days of the lives. ENOUGH OF THESE SELFISH OPPORTUNIST POLITICIANS. I am fed up with all of them.
Home Growth terrorists
by LAYogi on 2008-09-27 00:38:27.844825+05:30
Corrupt leadership made US bankrupt and India is no different. Lalu says SIMI should NOT be banned. Mayawati wants to be the PM, when UP is terrorist breeding grounds for home grown terrorists. MP Oscar justifies CEO lynching and now Arjun Singh supports Muslim university fighting FOR terrorist, even if it had glorious past. Our own PM may return from US with Nuke Deal, which is only tainted with non-testing etc. riders.Our leadership rajniti or chanakya niti is only good to make Hundreds of Crores for themselves and keeping the power. Unless there is inquilab and common people start lynching the corrupt regardless of religion..India will also be a namesake democracy!

Why not allow paki lawyer and finish off the case

Why not allow paki lawyer and finish off the case and let more security forces life be sacrificed. Pity not a single politician dies in these incidents
Setting bad example
by Snehal on 2008-09-26 23:03:00.38658+05:30
Getting legal aid is constitutional right - but providing one is government's job and not that of university's. Besides, if Hasan saheb has any information that is important to the case and in the interest of nation, he and university should be depose before court. JMI VC surely owes an explanation.

message to india
by np on 2008-09-26 22:49:46.982669+05:30
Stop being hypocrite and say that SIMI and Bajrangdal are same.They are not. Bajrangdal is not anti national.SIMI is outright anti national element.Bajrangdal acted because of killing of 84years old swami by so called innocent minority and forced conversion and media is crying at loud and they are supporting terorrists by saying because they are pour they are doing this. So don't support fact projected by So called seculars and media.2).People including media who gives excuse that because of discrimination and poverty people are becoming terrorist.All these people are supporting terrorism.Still we hindus want to be broad minded. When there is matter of country, I would throw away word "secularism" and act with all religions along with muslims(i think they are very few who love india) and finish terrorism for once and all. This would only happen if we hindus are united.Right now it's time to unite and throw away this anti national government and people who are supporting terrorist.media is also supporting terrorist and they do not have any accountibility. We want them to show credibility and accountibility. Which ever media does not do that, just ban them. Otherwise these kind of article will come from so called secular media."Verdict: The Godhra 'Conspiracy'" ..they put word 'Conspiracy' in quote. We all know why? Just stop watching channels like NDTV who are biased and anti national.
