Rajiv Gandhi murder case

The Central government today moved the Supreme Court to stop the release of four convicts involved in the assassination of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.

The Apex Court agreed to hear the petition and has fixed the next date of hearing on Thursday.

The apex court had last week stayed the decision of the Tamil Nadu government to release the three convicts in the case after Centre's plea and asked it to maintain status quo.

However, the Centre wants stay on the release of the four remaining convicts as well.

Indian athletes to compete under the Olympic flag

Indian athletes in Sochi winter olympics are competing under the Olympic flag, not under the Indian flag.

That's because for more than a year now, the Indian Olympic Association, IOA, remains suspended by the International Olympic Committee, IOC, for violations of its charter which included electing leaders with pending criminal charges.

The IOA remains suspended from the Olympic movement until fresh elections take place on the 9th of this month.

The IOC gave India until February 7 to vote in new, untainted leadership, but India’s Olympic Association scheduled a vote on February 9, two days after the opening ceremony.

As a result, India’s athletes have paraded as “independents” under a generic Olympic flag.

The three Indian athletes participating are, Shiva Keshavan, Himanshu Thakur and Nadeem Iqbal.

Shiva keshavan who competes in the luge is appearing in his fifth Winter Games. Himanshu Thakur is competing in Alpine Skiing and Nadeem Iqbal in cross country skiing.

Mr. Ashutosh said, there can be divergence of opinion on legal issues, but in Delhi government's view, there is no unconstitutionality in the Bill.

Sachin Tendulkar gets Bharat Ratna

Legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar will be conferred with the country`s highest civilian honour Bharat Ratna by President Pranab Mukherjee at a function on Tuesday.

Master batsman Sachin Tendulkar will be the first sportsman to be bestowed with the honour by the President at a function to be held in `Durbar Hall` of Rashtrapati Bahavan.

Tendulkar is recipient of Padma Vibhushan -- the country`s second highest civilian honour, will join a list of 41 eminent personalities who have been conferred with the award that is given in recognition of exceptional service of the highest order since it was instituted in 1954.

Bharat Ratna (Gem of India) is the Republic of India's highest civilian award.
The decoration is in the form of a peepal leaf, about 5.8 cm long, 4.7 cm wide and 3.1 mm thick. It is of toned bronze. On its obverse is embossed a replica of the sun, 1.6 cm in diameter, below which the words Bharat Ratna are embossed in Devanagari script. On the reverse are State emblem and the motto, also in Devanagari. The emblem, the sun and the rim are of platinum. The inscriptions are in burnished bronze.

The order to establish the award was given by Rajendra Prasad, President of India, on 2 January 1955.
Until 2011, the official criteria for awarding the Bharat Ratna stipulated it was to be conferred "for the highest degrees of national service. This service includes artistic, literary, and scientific achievements, as well as "recognition of public service of the highest order."
In December 2011, the Government of India modified the criteria to allow sports-persons to receive the award; since then, the award may be conferred "for performance of highest order in any field of human endeavour."
Any person without distinction of race, occupation, position or sex is eligible for the award. The recommendations for an award of the "Bharat Ratna" are made by the Prime Minister of India to the President of India; a maximum of three awards may be made in a given year.
