A BSP leader Aslam has been booked for assault in Barabanki district, four days after a girl set herself on fire after being molested by him. The BSP leader, however, has been booked only for assault and not for abetment to suicide or sexual harassment.
A16-year-old Dalit girl of Sihali village in Barabanki district had set herself on fire after the BSP leader allegedly beat her up publicly and molested her several times on her way to school. The girl is in hospital with 65 per cent burns. Aslam has denied his involvement in the case and told reporters that he was being framed by his political rivals.

Several national and state leaders, including UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi, AICC general secretary Rahul Gandhi, Union home minister P. Chidambaram and Chhattisgarh chief minister Raman Singh, are believed to be in the Naxals’ hitlist, the police said on Sunday.
The police got the clue on the reported plan by rebels to target the high-profile leaders, when a joint team of special task force (STF) and district force (DF) — both elite anti-Naxal wings of Chhattisgarh police — and CRPF seized newspapers carrying their photographs while raiding a Naxal camp at Nawa.

Bhopal, Sept. 4

Senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Murli Manohar Joshi on Sunday held the Congress-led UPA government squarely responsible for food inflation and said that failure on the government’s part to take corrective steps to control price and corruption would threaten democracy and destabilise the country.
He said that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had wrongly patted his own back and had given himself the credit for insulating the country from the global economic crisis recently when he addressed the Parliament urging Anna Hazare to give up his fast against corruption.
