Gandhi arrived in Kolkata earlier in the day to launch the membership drive of the Youth Congress in the state.

Clad in a white kurta-pyjama, he arrived at the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose international airport a little after noon to the cheers of “Rahul Gandhi zindabad” from the assembled party workers and activists.

Gandhi is a young politician determined to reach the downtrodden people of India. His rejection of Vedanta’s mining application in Orissa is testimony to the fact that he stands for the tribal and the oppressed class.

So, that these people taste the rights of democratic system, denied so far to them by the corrupt system.

His brand of politics is simple to work for this class of people and strengthen the root of democracy in India.

Question is “There was no problem against the center existing before 9/11. Why now? It is because of the effect of 9/11.”

Again why this center is planned to be developed now into a mosque involving posting of IMAM etc along with construction at ground zero? Is it not declaring camouflaged war against the tolerance of America?

Also should it not be considered as building of a victory monument, in shape of mosque, as has been practice of Muslims in the past, example Babri Masjid over Rama Janmabhumi and others in India?

Supporters of the Mosque are requested to consider the sentiments of majority of Americans instead of quoting constitutional right and legality. Loss of Muslim lives in Afghanistan or Iraq war should not be taken as example. Those are declared war.

Do you declare 9/11 attack on Twin Tower as war against USA? In a war there is loss of lives on both sides irrespective of religion.

Loss of American lives are also significant in these two wars. So what do you intend in quoting the loss of Muslim lives in these wars?

Cricketer-turned-journalist Atherton said he hopes to see the 18-year-old Aamir getting a fresh chance to mend his ways.

Now, it’s being questioned that AAmir is in complete denial of doing anything wrong and Atherten want to forgive him and give him second chance.

Second chance is given to someone who pleads guilty, who honestly admits his wrong doing and regrets it. Here these trio and the officials are so adamant and let alone admitting guilt they are blaming the rest of world of hatching a conspiracy.

Atherton suggests clemency to Aamir. Why should ICC forgive this kid? Life ban is a must for Mohammed Aamir and that will be the right signal sent to all youngsters how spot fixing or match fixing can ruin their career

Is Atherton getting ‘paid’ for this recommendation!!!

This is a serious statement marked by Khan in recent times. Before that statement, we had heard many voices from him, but there were much more technical statements and policy based issues.

Now Khan is talking about religious values and trying to get support from Islamic groups. I think he has lost his popularity and he is now talking vulgar.

It seems like A.Q.Khan forgot that International court convicted hime for stealing nuclear secret from western countries in 1980s.

America and western countries knew that Khan stole the nuclear secret before 1980. Now Khan is saying that America and western countries knew in 1990s.

Pakistan government, military and ISI, are protecting him. They did not let him testify in the court and in the United States Senate.

I wish Pakistan should recover from the present situation. We know whatever is cultivated; will come out with the same feedback.

Such statement only give theoritical pleasure, but just remind it is not going to enrich the nation .

In the mean time, Bihar govt, who is being branded as Maoists sympathizer, is feeling the heat of opppostion. At the same time, three policemen are still in Maoist custody. Earlier, Maoists had killed one policeman.

Naxalite movement in Bihar growing day by day, we understand the feeling of Bihar people who are suffering from political system and naxalites.

Freedom of movement is worst scenario due to politician & other naxalites. People cannot get food and safety of life.

A concrete step is need of the hours to counter naxalite, so that people can live fearless from politicians, mafia, and naxalites.

People are badly misguided. They are not understanding that government is doing their best (at least some) to develop our country.

They fail to realise the plight of the poor farmers. Don’t pay them enough for their hard work and don’t even let the grains reach the poor people.

Either it is stored in their godowns or gets rotten. In both the cases poor people are suffering. Our agriculture minister is too shameless to do anything for these people.

I confess this is an impulsive post. I am supercharged with anger & anguish just read about 3 farmers committing suicide no big deal but the way netas & babus are capitalising it shamelessly, makes my blood boil with my considerable experience in rural banking.

I know that no farmer having taken loan from any bank has ever committed suicide, but farmers seldom get loan at best they can lend their names for the crumbs& be a party to a big scam.

As we come to know that many Pakistanis cannot sleep well, if they cannot put blame on India.

In a country like Pakistan, which is seriously suffering from poverty, corruption, terrorism, communal riots, insecurity, insanity, vandalism and flood, putting up blame against India gives them some solace.

At the same time, it comes as political mileage for politicians. I could not believe seeing the news on PTV (Pakistan TV) wherein they suggested that the fixer Majid was planted by India’s RAW.

At the same time, the whole match fixing thing was planned and executed by RAW along with Sharad Pawar and the Indian Bookies lobby. As they saw a threat in the rise of upcoming fast bowling attack of Mohd. Amir and Mohd. Asif.

Now, it’s not surprising for me that Pakistan will also find something to blame India for the flood crisis.

Even if there is an earthquake or natural calamity Pakistan will blame India. And the funniest thing will be the Muslims of India will support those claims.

We feel sorry for Pakistani cricket lovers. First they lost right to host the match now they can’t even cheer on victory of there team as there always be doubt if that was fixed.

But, if we talk about money, women and comfort in the game of Cricket, we should know that after all Cricket is also a game.

Many decisions may have to be taken abruptly on and off the field in good faith, while such decisions misfire miserably woefully alleged as predetermined or deliberately lost.

No professional player will underperform intentionally. I feel media – visual, audio and print – portrayed these issues out of proportion.

Sir Garfield St Auburn Sobers, a legendary cricketer was famous for his sporting gestures. He led the West Indies.

During his captaincy, if an opponent batsman batted well and was in his ‘nineties’ he used to advise his bowlers to bowl a ‘full length ball’ to aid him to complete his century.

Once while in England for a test match in order to get the pitch ‘dry’ while his main batsmen came to bat, he changed the batting order from bottom to top.

Sobers sent his 11th batsman first and following the reserve order; by the time his ‘top order’ came to bat, the pitch was dry.

The West Indies won the match and his decision was assessed as a fine example of innovative captaincy.

No media alleged match fixing issue on Sir Sobers!!! Of course time is also changing…!

Hazards Centre has released the report ‘Heritage Games’ saying “Within the next 25 to 30 years of the 2010 Games each resident of the city will have to pay a debt.”

It would in form of increased prices of land, basic commodities and petrol. At the same time, it’s being claimed in the report that “What is being seen in TV and media is only a tip of the iceberg. There is corruption, embezzlement of funds and illegalities by public officials.”

Those who are saying we must not oppose the CWG because this nation’s pride is involved are the ones who don’t give a damn thought about this.

Thanks to the media, that they raised it before monsoon, otherwise the whole scam would have been covered due to heavy rains.
