A Head of the Assembly elections in Delhi, likely to be held in
November this year, some politicians are leaving no stone unturned to
ensure their victory, albeit through foul means. Though, with the
changing time and technology it has almost become impossible to capture
the booth or adopt other illegal means during the polling, some of the
politicians are burning the midnight oil to find loopholes in the
existing system. It came to light with the sudden surface of over 10
lakh bogus voters requesting inclusion of their names in the voters
list. Surprisingly, these 10 lakh voters surfaced only within last
three weeks of June.

The scam involving some politicians was unearthed by the
Election Commission itself. On the complaints of Chief Electoral
Officer Satinder Silas Bedi, Delhi Police registered 100 FIRs against
bogus voters and more cases are likely to be registered in coming days.

The growing strength of Naxal groups has emboldened
them so much that they are harbouring ambitions of controlling more
than a third of India's territories in the next two years, a latest
intelligence report has said.

Basing its information on
literature and pamphlets seized by the security forces in anti-Naxal
operations, and also on interrogation of arrested guerillas, the
intelligence report says the Naxal groups are aiming to liberate and
control 35 per cent of India's land by the end of 2009, Home Ministry
sources said.

Lt Gen (retd) S K Sinha, till recently Governor of Jammu and Kashmir [Images],
on Thursday  launched a frontal attack on the state's main political
parties, especially PDP and its patron Mufti Mohammed Sayeed, accusing
him of being "hand in glove" with separatists and fundamentalists.

At the centre of controversy over the land for Amarnath yatra which paralysed the valley in recent days, Sinha denounced PDP as "anti-national".
