Mizoram Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla today said he was against ‘racism’ in any form.
Addressing a meeting of the Former Legislators Association of Mizoram (FLAM) on its 20th anniversary, Thanhawla said sometimes he wondered whether the people from north-east were being “accepted” as Indians or not.
The chief minister had earlier expressed opinion that the Centre should legislate an anti-racism law to prevent recurrence of recent incidents of attacks against the north eastern people in Bangalore and Delhi.
He said that border dispute between Mizoram and neighbouring Assam was a vexed problem.
He said that the state government continued to urge the Centre to constitute Boundary Commission to find amicable solution to the border disputes in the region.
There is no evidence so far that a gunman who attacked Canada’s capital had links to Middle Eastern Islamist extremists, the government says.
Foreign Minister John Baird told the BBC that Michael Zehaf-Bibeau was “certainly radicalised” but not on a list of high-risk individuals.
Zehaf-Bibeau killed a soldier at Ottawa’s war memorial before being shot dead in the nearby parliament building.
Police have released video showing how the gunman stormed parliament.
It has also emerged that Prime Minister Stephen Harper hid in a cupboard in parliament for about 15 minutes during Wednesday’s attack as MPs sharpened flagpoles to use as spears against the gunman.
‘Huge concern’
Mr Baird told the BBC there were no substantiated claims yet that Zehaf-Bibeau was associated with Islamic State.
Canadian Foreign Minister John Baird: “I haven’t heard… he was associated to Isil”
Mr Baird said he was “tremendously concerned about the number of Canadians who are radicalised and are fighting in Syria or Iraq, but we don’t have any evidence to link the two at this stage”.
“Reports suggest that well in excess of 100 Canadians have gone to fight jihad in the Middle East and that’s a huge concern.”
Mr Baird also said Zehaf-Bibeau could have done much more damage than he did.
“For several minutes it was complete horror, complete terror, we didn’t know whether the door was going to be kicked in, whether there was one or a group of people.”
Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers was given a standing ovation in parliament
Daniel Lang, chairman of the Senate national defence and security committee, told the BBC: “It was an ordeal I would not recommend anybody endure – there was just a wall’s difference between where we were and where they were.”
He said the incident had “shown our vulnerability and the reality that life here has changed dramatically”.
Mr Lang said most parliamentarians had been calling for greater security and “this event proves there should be”.
The BBC’s Barbara Plett Usher also spoke to men at the homeless shelter in Ottawa where the gunmen had been staying.
One said: “He never said a lot about his history or family. He never talked about anything that would make you suspicious.”
More details have emerged of the attack.
One source told the Globe and Mail that MPs had flanked the doors of their meeting room, preparing to attack the gunman with sharpened flagpoles.
“These guys were up there holding these spears ready to impale anyone who came in,” the source said.
Mr Harper was placed in a cupboard – described as little more than a “cubbyhole” in the Centre Block after the gunfire rang out, the report said.
The Globe and Mail’s source said many MPs had no idea the prime minister was still in the building.
“Someone knew there was a closet there so they stuck him in there. So for a lot of people it was as though he was gone.”
The prime minister’s security the detail came to rescue him.
The video released by police shows various phases of Wednesday’s attack.
The gunman is first shown hijacking a minister’s car, then speeding off towards Centre Block, pursued by police.
At Centre Block he left the stolen car and ran into the building, exchanging gunfire with House of Commons security forces and Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) officers.
He was ultimately shot dead by Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers, a former senior RCMP officer, who received a standing ovation in parliament on Thursday when he resumed his duties.
‘We are sorry’
Zehaf-Bibeau’s mother, Susan Bibeau, told AP she had lunch with her son last week – their first meeting in five years.
She said her son seemed lost and “did not fit in”.
“Can you ever explain something like this?” she said. “We are sorry.”
At a news conference on Thursday, RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson said Zehaf-Bibeau was not linked to the Muslim convert who on Monday killed a Canadian soldier in Quebec in a hit-and-run attack.
However, Zehaf-Bibeau was trying to get a passport to travel to Syria.
Mr Paulson said: “I think the passport figured prominently in his motives.
JAMMU: Army has initiated the process to procure the latest jammer system to thwart attacks by radio and cell phone controlled improvised explosive device on it convoys and personnel in Jammu and Kashmir.
A Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued recently by the General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Northern Command, for procurement of 22 ‘Sakriya’ Radio and Cell phone Jammer Counter IED systems for the army units deployed in the state.
The last date and time for depositing the bids is November 7 at 1400 hours,” said Col B S Bisht of Electric and Mechanical Engineers (EMA) at Northern Command Headquarters.
These counter IED jammers will be put to use for service deployment and operational usage for quick reaction teams, VIP protection vehicles, convoy escorts, movement of troops and counter insurgency operations, according to RFP.
The procurement of jammers has become important in view of increasing threat to security personnel who are being targeted by IEDs, detonated by cell phones and radio signals, officials said.
The “Sakriya” jammers are based on Advanced Digital Signal Processing (ADSP) technology with frequency jamming of GSM, CDMA, DCS and 3G bands of cell phones besides, frequency modulation (FM) and pre-initiator of 136 MHz to 174 MHz frequency.
The jammers would have a weight of 80 kg along with its batteries, they said.

Diwali parties have already begun in Bollywood. Shilpa Shetty recented hosted a bash at her residence with her husband and invited her industry friends along. There was much fanfare and cheer at the party. But what struck us as shockingly ugly was her attire. Shilpa was surely having a bad fashion day.
To dazzle like the festival of lights, Shilpa chose eye-soar attire. She donned a block colour kurta and paired it with a skirt and pants. Now the orange of her kurta was too shocking for the occasion. She definitely shocked a few of her guests. Plus, the skirt hugged her fab figure in an unflaterring.
As for accessories, Shilpa went for two beaded necklaces in red and white which only made her look gaudy. Well, guess Shilpa didn’t anticipate such a mismatch with her outfit.
Grishma Teli, vice-president, research and development, Ecotrail, said only extracts from vegetables and fruits are used in the cosmetics products manufactured at the company’s unit in Sanand. “The source of every ingredient is researched and it is ensured that products are 100% free of non-halal ingredients such as alcohol, chemicals like sulfate, paraben and mercury and animal-derived inputs,” she said.
India is home to the world’s second largest Muslim population but the community is still highly untapped as a consumer market for cosmetics products. Mauli Teli said that India’s personal care market is growing at 15-17% every year. “Ecotrail is currently focusing only on meeting the domestic demand,” she said.

Olympic and Paralympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius started his five-year jail sentence on Tuesday for killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, marking the end of a trial that has gripped South Africa and millions around the world.
His uncle, Arnold Pistorius, indicated he would not appeal.
As judge Thokozile Masipa gave her decision on the 27-year-old’s culpable homicide conviction, Pistorius, whose downfall has been likened to that of American football star O.J. Simpson, stood resolutely in the dock.
His only reaction was to wipe his eyes before two police officers led him to the holding cells beneath the High Court in the heart of the South African capital.
Ninety minutes later, an armored police vehicle carrying Pistorius – still dressed in dark suit, white shirt and black tie – left the building through a throng of reporters toward Pretoria Central Prison, where he is expected to serve his time.
Once the execution site for opponents of South Africa’s former white-minority government, the jail is now home to the country’s most hardened criminals, including the man known as “Prime Evil”, apartheid death squad leader Eugene de Kock.
Prisons officials said Pistorius, whose lower legs were amputated when he was a baby, would be housed in a separate and secure hospital wing of the massive complex.
“ONE LAW FOR ALL”
In delivering her decision, 67-year-old Masipa stressed the difficulty of arriving at a decision that was “fair and just to society and to the accused”.
She also rebuffed suggestions that Pistorius – a wealthy and influential white man – might be able to secure preferential justice despite the “equality before law” guarantee enshrined in the post-apartheid 1996 constitution.
“It would be a sad day for this country if an impression were created that there is one law for the poor and disadvantaged, and one law for the rich and famous,” she said.
Steenkamp, a 29-year-old law graduate and model, died almost instantly on Valentine’s Day last year when Pistorius shot her through a locked toilet door at his luxury Pretoria home.
Prosecutors pushed for a murder conviction, but the athlete maintained he fired in the mistaken belief an intruder was hiding behind the door, a defense that struck home in a country with one of the world’s highest rates of violent crime.
The ruling African National Congress’ Women’s League, which is at the forefront of political efforts to tackle violence against South African women, on Tuesday called for an appeal by the state against the Sept. 12 culpable homicide conviction.
But Steenkamp’s family said it was satisfied with the sentence.
“Justice was served,” family lawyer Dup De Bruyn told reporters outside the court. The judge had given “the right sentence”, he said.
“DARK AGES” GONE
With no minimum sentence for culpable homicide, South Africa’s equivalent of manslaughter, Pistorius could have been punished with a few years of house arrest combined with community service.
Before the decision, protesters picketed outside the court, a sign of the anger that might have ensued and the damage that might have been done to an often-criticized judicial system if the sentence were seen as too light.
“Why are certain offenders more equal than others before the law?” said protester Golden Miles Bhudu, dressed in orange prison garb and wrapped in chains as he ridiculed Pistorius’ retching and crying during the seven-month trial, the first in South Africa to be broadcast live throughout.
“He screams like a girl, he cries like a baby but he shoots like a soldier,” Bhudu said.
However, Masipa pointed to the moral and philosophical changes South Africa has undergone since the end of white rule and the 1994 election of Nelson Mandela, saying the courts were no longer about mob justice and an “eye-for-an-eye”.
“As a country we have moved on from the dark ages,” she said. “Society cannot always get what they want because courts do not exist to win popularity contests.”
Many ordinary South Africans were unimpressed, especially after Pistorius’ defense lawyer, Barry Roux, said he expected the athlete to serve only 10 months of the five-year sentence behind bars, and the remainder under house arrest.
“They are only scaring him with this sentence. It shows our society hasn’t transformed,” said Johannes Mbatha, a 38-year-old minibus taxi driver waiting at a Johannesburg bus station.
“If it was a black man he would have never received such a light sentence. But that’s how things are in South Africa.”
In Steenkamp’s home town of Port Elizabeth, a handful of family friends at a bar owned by her parents raised their hands in recognition of the five-year sentence.
“I thought he would walk,” said 50-year-old Martin Cohen, who worked as a race horse trainer with Steenkamp’s father, Barry, who suffered a stroke shortly after his daughter’s killing.
The state prosecuting authority, which has two weeks to decide whether to launch an appeal against the verdict, said Pistorius was likely to serve at least a third of his sentence in prison or 20 months.
On a separate conviction for firing a handgun in a packed Johannesburg restaurant, Pistorius was given a three-year suspended sentence.
Even if he is freed early, Pistorius will not be able to resume his athletics career until his full term is served, the International Paralympic Committee said, ruling out any appearance at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
Known as “Blade Runner” because of his carbon-fibre prosthetics, Pistorius became one of the biggest names in world athletics at the London 2012 Olympics when he reached the semi-finals of the 400m race against able-bodied athletes.

Amidst calls by several BJP MLAs in Maharashtra for Union minister Nitin Gadkari to be made the state’s chief minister, the senior leader today said he was happy working at the Centre.
“I am happy in Delhi,” Gadkari told reporters here when asked whether he intends to return to state politics.
Gadkari’s comment came after Maharashtra BJP president Devendra Fadnavis, considered to be the front-runner for the post of chief minister, today visited him at his residence in the Mahal area of the city to wish him on Diwali.
The visit, described as a courtesy call by Fadnavis, lasted for about half-an-hour, according to sources.
After the meeting, the Union Transport and Shipping Minister told reporters, “Fadnavis is my colleague and came to meet me on Diwali.” However, what transpired during the meeting of the two leaders was not known.
Gadkari had earlier clarified his stand about not returning to state politics, saying it was for the the BJP’s central leadership to decide and that he would accept any responsibility given to him by the party. Party sources said that the central leadership favours Fadnavis for the top post.
Fadnavis, who was accompanied by city Mayor Pravin Datke, declined to comment on his meeting with Gadkari. He had also remained tight-lipped yesterday when PTI contacted him for his comments on the Vidarbha MLAs supporting Gadkari for the chief minister’s post.
A group of 39 newly-elected BJP MLAs from Vidarbha region had met Gadkari here on Tuesday and pushed for him to be made the Maharashtra chief minister.
Nagpur-East MLA Krishna Khopde had yesterday offered to quit and vacate his seat to pave the way for his mentor Gadkari. Later, two more MLAs — Sudhakar Kolhe (Nagur-South) and Sameer Meghe (Hingana) — too, offered to resign from their respective seats for the Union minister.
Also, five independent MLAs — Vinayak Patil (Ahmednagar), Shirish Choudhary (Amalner), Ganpat Gaikwad (Kalyan-East), Mahesh Landge (Bhosari) and Ravi Rane (Badnera) — yesterday met Gadkari and Fadnavis separately to offer their support if the chief minister is chosen from the Vidarbha region.
