JUSTICE MUDGAL ELECTED HEAD OF FIFA GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE
Justice (Retd) Mukul Mudgal was today elected as head of FIFA’s governance committee at the world football governing body’s 67th Congress in Bahrain’s capital city of Manama.
Justice Mudgal’s name was proposed by the FIFA Council yesterday for the vacant position of the governance chief after Miguel Maduro was reportedly ‘fired’ for his role in blocking Russian World Cup official Vitaly Mutko from retaining his seat on ruling council.
The FIFA Council proposed to the 67th FIFA Congress a list of members of both chambers of the independent Ethics Committee, the Disciplinary Committee, the Appeal Committee, the Audit and Compliance Committee, and the Governance Committee. Each list of candidates was presented for election to the FIFA Congress today, each for a term of office of four years which would come into effect immediately.
Justice Mudgal was appointed deputy chairman of the governance committee
in May last year during the FIFA Congress in Mexico.

CBI ARRESTED SUNIL KAKKAD
CBI today arrested the promoter of a telecom company from Mumbai in connection with a Rs 126 crore bank loan scam case. CBI informed that the promoter of Click Telecom, Sunil Kakkad, was arrested for allegedly cheating a consortium of State Bank of India, Canara Bank and Vijaya Bank to the tune of Rs 126 crore. The agency had registered the case against Kakkad in 2015.
CBI spokesperson R K Gaur informed in Delhi that the telecom company had allegedly been sanctioned several credit facilities, including cash credit, term loan and non- fund based limits (LCs), to the tune of Rs 126 crore.
It was further alleged that this company had won the bid for launching of BSNL VVOBB (voice and video over broad band) project in southern and eastern zones of the country and the accused inflated the project costs to obtain huge funds from the banks.
Cumulative funds involved in seven cases against him are over Rs 900 crore, the CBI sources said, adding that funds of Corporation Bank, SBI, State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur, Allahabad Bank, Bank of Baroda and Vijaya Bank were siphoned off in these cases. Kakkad will be produced in a special court in Mumbai tomorrow.

MASSIVE CYBER ATTACK STRIKES ORGANISATIONS IN SEVERAL COUNTRIES
A massive cyber-attack has struck organisations in several countries. Computers in thousands of locations were locked by a programme that demands equivalent of 300 US dollars to unlock the systems. A large number of hospitals across Britain were hit by the cyber-attack, shutting down their computer systems and forcing the cancellation of patient appointments.
Britain’s National Health Service said, hospital computers were infected with a type of what they called ransomware that blocks the use of a computer system. Hospitals in areas across Britain found themselves without access to their computers or phone systems.
British Prime Minister Theresa May said there was no evidence that patient data had been compromised in the attack. Similar incidents were reported from the United States, China, Russia, Portugal, Italy and many other countries

THREAT TO LIFE FROM RIGHT WING GROUPS
Shri Rajnath Singh,
Home Minister,
Government of India,
New Delhi
Dear Sir,
Many people believe that in the last few years an atmosphere of fear and oppression has built up in the country. The space for critical thinking and free speech has shrunk. Anyone expressing a contrary viewpoint is easily cast as being anti-national. Writers and free thinkers and activists have been repeatedly threatened and in some cases the threats have resulted in ugly violence and even murder. Sadly, the culprits behind some of these killings are still at large and forces inimical to liberty and democracy are only gaining in strength.
For the last seventeen years I have written about fundamentalist and anti-national forces undermining our constitutional democracy and freedom and how these forces have been behind the orchestrated killings of innocent men, women and children. Some of this work has been done in the face of great risk and danger. And my articles have been used in the courts of law to convict those guilty of mass carnage. A list of some of my writings on the related subjects is attached as Annexure I.
Yesterday I received a threatening letter at my office claiming that my killing is imminent. The letter advocates the cause of terror accused Sadhvi Pragya and those who are accused of killing the noted rationalist Dr. Narendra Dabholkar, the political activist from Maharashtra, Govind Pansare, the scholar, MM Kalburgi, and many other innocent Indians. It then pronounces my death sentence with the threat that it will be carried out soon. A copy of the letter is attached as Annexure II.
It is pertinent to mention here that those who are suspected of gunning down Dr Dabholkar and Pansare are still out of the reach of law enforcement agencies. Similarly, the prime accused in terror cases like the Malegaon, Mecca Masjid and Samjhauta Express bomb blasts have been absconding for almost a decade, with our agencies conspicuously failing to bring them to justice. The parent organisations to which these accused belong have also gained in prominence.
Sanatan Sanstha, Abhinav Bharat, Hindu Janjagruti Samiti, Hindu Rakshak Samiti, Bajrang Dal, Durga Vahini, Sri Ram Sene, Vishwa Hindu Parishad, have all been found to be involved in acts of violence and communal riots in several parts of the country. Often these organisations have common members and leadership. They also keep assuming new identities. Evidence collected by agencies and available with the government suggests that they are all part of the same hydra –headed social and political group.
The letter sent to me is a chilling reminder of the growing confidence of anti-national and fascist forces who want to exterminate all dissenting voices with violence. The language used in the letter is seemingly similar to many threats that Dabholkar had received immediately before he was brutally killed.
I had received a similar threat letter in July last year. I had then sent a complaint to Police Commissioner of Delhi. A copy of the complaint is attached as Annexure III. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a response.
Besides, Sanatan Sanstha, a right wing organization, had openly threatened me in the past. Evidence of the same is attached as Annexure IV.
The track record of the present NDA government suggests that if a similar incident had happened with a BJP leader or member of the larger RSS parivaar, the response of the police machinery would have been contrastingly different.
I would like to urge you not to treat this is as an individual matter. I am writing this on behalf of scores of journalists, activists, artists, writers and ordinary citizens across the country who have been threatened or attacked by the right wing forces.
In the ardent hope that the present government will carry out its constitutional duty of protecting liberty and democracy, I am writing you this letter.
