Strongly condemning the attack and vandalism of the offices of Hindi and Marathi TV news channels IBN7 and IBN-Lokmat in Mumbai and Pune on Friday by shiv sena for what they said was criticism of the party and its chief Bal Thackeray after his recent comments against cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar, Maharashtra Home Minister R R Patil on Friday night said the government was committed to protecting journalists.
"It is the responsibility of all to ensure the freedom of the media in a democracy and if some parties are acting contrary to this, the government will initiate stringent measures" Patil told reporters.
Describing the attack as 'a cowardly act', the home minister said those who were behind it will not be spared.
ha ha hi hi..
Nice Joke..!!
"Government will initiate stringent measures"..!!! :D
"committed to protecting journalists"...!!
Well,Maharastra has seen many attacks and taliban-style vandalism by shiv sena and MNS.Not heard till now,any of their leaders getting punished.
Also,the less said about Mr.R R Patil,the better.He was Home Minister when Mumbai was attached on 26/11 and he was made to resign after some very insensitive comments about the attack.He was also a total failure.
Now,after the Congress-NCP combine came back to power,he is again made Home Minister...!!!
That's how much Congress-NCP Govt care for the people..$#%^&*
Any way,nothing much to say...hmm
As a closing comment :It seems shiv sena attacked IBN offices because IBN criticized Bal Thackeray..!!
Well,then here we go :
Bal Thackeray is a PIG..
He has done nothing right in his entire life to deserve any thing other than ABSOLUTE CONTEMPT..
He is an anti-national heading a party,that should be banned,for trying to destroy the federal nature of our Country..
All those who love our Country should isolate and eliminate such goons from our society..

Nobel Prize for dirt and filth
“I think our cities have the dubious distinction of being the dirtiest cities in the world. There is no doubt about it. But if there is a Nobel Prize for dirt and filth, India will win it hands down. There is no competition for that and we have to do something dramatic on municipal solid waste,” Environment minister Jairam Ramesh was quoted as saying in a function to release a report ‘Green India 2047’ by The Energy Research Institute (TERI).
Well,very candid and we can say he indeed has a point there.We are not known worldwide for our cleanliness.But to say that we deserve a Nobel Prize for dirt and filth,is to stretch it a bit too far.The situation is not that bad...!!
He is the environmental minister,what has he done till now to improve the situation??
Not heard any major initiatives from him on this front.
Also,as a person who belongs to a party that has ruled India for most of the time post-independence,he should be the last person to say this.Why did his party not implemented strict laws to ensure that those who ,let me say for example,spit on road are given a fine or some sort of punishment?
Fear of getting punished can dissuade people from throwing filth on roads and other public places.
Any way,it's atleast nice that Jairam Ramesh is thinking about our cleanliness behavior.Let him,as the environment minister,comes up with plans to clean up our Country.I am sure that people will support him,if he is sincere.

Sachin Vs Thakeray
This post is in the context of Shiv Sena Leader Bal Thakeray's criticism of Sachin Tendulkar.
What is Sachin's fault??
In an interview,when some journalist asked some question,he merely answered very innocently that "Mumbai belongs to India.I am a Maharastrian and I am extremely proud of it.But I am an Indian first".
Perfect.Absolutely correct.
What's wrong with these statements??
What's wrong in saying that Mumbai belongs to India..!!
Is Mumbai belonging to pakistan?? Or to pakistanis?? or to Chinese??
Or is it a private property of Mr Bal Fool-keray??
Has he got it as dowry??
What is Bal's claim on Mumbai?He and his goonda party and his cousin and his goonda party behaves as if they are owners of Mumbai and Maharastra..!!
It's very clear that these idiots are doing all these to get some cheap third-rate votes..
Even though they got badly beaten by the electorate,they still don't learn their lessons..!!
These Thackrey goons and their parties ,shiv sena and MNS are as dangerous to our nation as pakistani terrorists..
Aim of both of them is to divide India..
Now coming back to Sachin,he is a National icon.Respected not only in Maharastra,but also loved and respected by each and every Nationalist Indians.He,infact is loved and admired throughout the world.
He does not need a certificate from a Goonda leader..
Sachin is well-mannered,humble,deeply patriotic and perhaps the greatest living Indian.He has made every Indian proud by his deeds and his words and the way he conducts himself.He is hailed as the best batsman in the world.
And who is Bal Thakeray?
He is a regional monster,sitting in his small well.What is the contribution of he and his family to Maharastra and India? RIOTS,religious tensions,parochialism,beating-up innocent Indians,destroying public property etc..
He is the modern day Bhasmasura..
He could not even hold his family together..
And he claims to talk for the whole of Maharastra..
Whom is he trying to fool?
His positive contribution to Maharastra and India is a BIG ZERO.
He thinks he is a very big person and that every body should respect his madness and follow his orders.
Phew..
He is a worm..A parasite,which tries to grow on innocent peoples blood..
To hell with Mr.Bal Thakeray and his goonda family..
His name itself should be uttered with contempt and his place in this world is in the Dustbin..
He is such a waste..
A useless fool..
Instead of criticising Sachin for saying that "I am an Indian first",Mr Thakeray should lick Sachin's boots..
One would have thought that at this age he would retire from his dirty acts and take some rest and allow his son Udhav and his cousin Raj to take forward his legacy of dirty divide-and-rule activities.
But he seems to be an age-less wonder in the world of ugly politics.
Surely we all could expect more waste material from his mouth in future also..!

Tributes pouring in
Some of the world’s greatest cricketers have heaped encomiums on Sachin Tendulkar as he reaches another milestone in his career with former Australian skipper Steve Waugh paying him the ultimate tribute by calling him the “Bradman of our times”.
“The last time I watched Sachin was last week when he was on his way to a spectacular 175 and once again I felt that I was watching a player who comes but once in a century. It can be said that he is the Bradman of our times and I do feel privileged to have played a lot of cricket against him,” Waugh said in his tribute.
Considered a ruthless and aggressive captain, Waugh said even he had a nightmarish time setting his fielders whenever Tendulkar marched to the crease.
“Sachin always brought with him an amazing sporting presence. It was a captain’s nightmare to set a field for him when he was in full flow. It was akin to getting stuck in a tornado — the noise made it impossible to communicate with the fielders.
“The bowlers looked demoralised and you could sense that Sachin himself was delighted at the disarray he created in the opposition. Whether in India or elsewhere, there were always enough fans to create a deafening din whenever he was at his best,” he said in an article.
The man who called sledging mental disintegration, Waugh said the tactic never really worked in Tendulkar’s case.
“Sachin rarely got into verbal duels and soon we too realised that sledging him only strengthens his concentration and resolve. No wonder then that some of the most talkative Australians went quiet when Sachin was in the middle.”
Waugh also lauded the way Tendulkar conducted himself off the field and said he admired the composure with which the Indian handled expectations of a cricket-mad nation.
“His innate decency as always shone through his ruthlessness on the field. For most of his career, he has wanted to dominate the bowlers and stamp his supremacy on the opposition. He has always conducted himself exceptionally in public light which must not be easy.
Former West Indies captain and batting legend Vivian Richards said there are few better role models in modern cricket than Tendulkar.
“...when he is in full flow, the mild-mannered boyish cricketer can look extremely intimidating. If there is a resonance, I find of myself in his batting, it is in that intent that he communicates,” Richards said.
Former Pakistan captain Imran Khan said Tendulkar is way ahead of contemporaries like Inzamam-ul-Haq when it comes to keeping himself focussed on the game.
“Over the years Sachin has remained remarkably consistent and has more records than anybody I can remember. His talent and versatility are unquestioned which is why the only question that rankles is why he did not win enough games for his team?
Former India captain Sourav Ganguly said Tendulkar’s ability to adapt to the varying conditions was his biggest strength.
“His biggest strength as a batsman is his adaptability. And that is something really, really amazing, something so special,” he said.
Former Pakistan captain and batting great Javed Miandad said he always advises youngsters to follow in the footsteps of Tendulkar.
Former Pakistan leg-spinner Abdul Qadir, whose duel with a young Tendulkar in an ODI at Peshawar in the 1989 series is part of cricketing folklore, said the champion batsman was far from finished and would continue to break many more records.
“I think Tendulkar has outdone all the other greats with his hunger for the game, which is amazing,” Qadir said.
Tendulkar hit Qadir for three sixes in an over in the Peshawar game at a time when the leg-spinner was at his peak.
“That was a time when I was at my best and even the best batsmen had second thoughts coming out to hit me. I remember I kept on goading him to hit me and he took the challenge and came down to strike me cleanly. It was amazing. I knew instantly this was someone special,” he recalled.
Inzamam said Tendulkar was a gentleman personified who never allowed fame to get over him. “What has impressed me the most about Tendulkar all these years is his humble and simple nature. I never saw him ever let the fame and adulation he enjoys get to his head,” Inzamam said.

He is once-in-a-century-player,” said international cricket’s most successful bowler Muttiah Muralitharan.The Sri Lankan player said this as a tribute to Sachin on completing 20 years in International arena.

Tendulkar greatest batsman of my generation
Paying tribute to Sachin Tendulkar on his reaching the milestone of 20 years in international cricket, former India captain Sourav
Ganguly on Saturday described the Mumbai maestro as the greatest batsman of his generation.
"Probably Sachin is the best batsman I have seen. He just amazes me. He just keeps going on and on. We hope he carries on some more years," Ganguly, who was Tendulkar's one-time opening ODI partner, said.
"It's not just about talent but it's how you use talent that makes you special. There have been a lot of players who had talents but they have not continued for a long time and that's what makes Sachin special. He uses his talent to the most," said Ganguly.
Congratulating Tendulkar, who will complete 20 years of international cricket on Sunday, Ganguly said, "First I want to congratulate him on completing 20 years in international cricket which is phenomenal. Starting at the age of 16 and going on to play for 20 years with this intensity is unbelievable."
Having featured in more than 400 matches with Tendulkar, Ganguly said he had scores of memories with the Mumbai batsman since they met in Indore during a U-15 national camp.
"I have got a lot of memories. I met him for the first time in 1987-88. I had heard a lot about him. From the day one, I knew he was special," Ganguly said.

pakistan should go to UN
Pakistan Muslim League-N chief Nawaz Sharif has asked Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani to take the issue of India's alleged involvement in fanning insurgency in Balochistan to the United Nations.
Addressing a press conference after discussing the proposed Balochistan package with Gilani, Sharif said he was informed during the meeting that Islamabad has evidence regarding New Delhi's hand in the Baloch unrest.
"We were told in the meeting that it was confirmed that India was involved in the Balochistan unrest. It is unfortunate that India is interfering in fomenting unrest in Pakistan," The Nation quoted Sharif as saying.
Sharif said he has advised Gilani to table the evidence, regarding India's terror policy, in front of the international community, including the UN.
It would have been very nice,if India was doing atleast 10% of what pakistan claims Indian Intelligence agencies are doing inside pakistan,for all that the pakis are doing to India.Unfortunately,India is unable or unwilling or is incapable of 'hitting below the belt'.
Mr.Nawaz Sharif,who was exiled to Saudi Arabia by Musharaff,and got back to pak only after America and Saudi Arabia made a deal with Musharaff and Yousuf Raza Gilani,who is a baffon along with pak interior joker Rahman Malik,indeed are cracking some great 'Third rate jokes'.
Wonder,whether pakistani citizens themselves are believing all these junks.
Any way let's go to UN.. :D

China's nuclear proliferation
Reproducing below an article from rediff:
China provided Pakistan with a 'do-it-yourself' kit and weapons grade uranium for making two nuclear bombs in 1982, a leading American daily said on Friday quoting notes made by disgraced Pakistani scientist A Q Khan.
The Washington Post said the deliberate act of proliferation was part of a secret nuclear deal struck in 1976 between Chinese leader Mao Zedong and Pakistan's then Prime Minister Zulfiquar Ali Bhutto.
'Upon my personal request, the Chinese minister had gifted us 50 kg weapon-grade enriched uranium, enough for two weapons,' Khan wrote in a previously undisclosed 11-page narrative of the Pakistani bomb programme.
Khan prepared the notes for Pakistan's intelligence after his January 2004 detention for unauthorised nuclear commerce, the daily said.
The Post said it obtained Khan's detailed accounts from Simon Henderson, a former Financial Times journalist who is now a senior fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy and who has maintained correspondence with Khan.
In a first-person account about his contacts with Khan in the September 20 edition of the Sunday Times, Henderson disclosed several excerpts from one of the documents.
According to Khan, the daily said, the uranium cargo came with a blueprint for a simple weapon that China had already tested, supplying a virtual do-it-yourself kit that significantly speeded Pakistan's bomb effort.
The transfer also started a chain of proliferation: US officials worry that Khan later shared related Chinese design information with Iran, in 2003, Libya confirmed obtaining it from Khan's clandestine network.
'The Chinese gave us drawings of the nuclear weapon, gave us 50 kg enriched uranium,' Khan said in a separate account sent to his wife several months earlier.
Khan said he and two other Pakistani officials -- including then-Foreign Secretary Agha Shahi, since deceased -- worked out the details when they traveled to Beijing later that year for Mao's funeral, the daily said.
'Over several days, Khan said, he briefed three top Chinese nuclear weapons officials -- Liu Wei, Li Jue and Jiang Shengjie -- on how the European-designed centrifuges could swiftly aid China's lagging uranium-enrichment programme. China's Foreign Ministry did not respond to questions about the officials' roles,' it said.
'Chinese experts started coming regularly to learn the whole technology' from Pakistan, Khan states, staying in a guesthouse built for them at his centrifuge research centre.
Pakistani experts were dispatched to Hanzhong in central China, where they helped 'put up a centrifuge plant', Khan said in an account he gave to his wife after coming under government pressure, the newspaper said.
'We sent 135 C-130 plane loads of machines, inverters, valves, flow meters, pressure gauges,' Khan wrote, according to the documents accessed by The Post.
'Our teams stayed there for weeks to help and their teams stayed here for weeks at a time,' he said.
In return, The Post said, China sent Pakistan 15 tons of uranium hexafluoride (UF6), a feedstock for Pakistan's centrifuges that Khan's colleagues were having difficulty producing on their own.
Khan said the gas enabled the laboratory to begin producing bomb-grade uranium in 1982.

Sachin's slap for MNS,Shiv Sena Parochialism
"Mumbai belongs to India. That is how I look at it. And I am a Maharashtrian and I am extremely proud of that but I am an Indian first," said Tendulkar responding to a specific query at a media meet in New Delhi on the eve of completing 20 years in international cricket.
Coming from Sachin,who is the greatest living Mumbaikar,this should be a shock to the goons of Raj Thackrey and Bal Thackrey.
As Sachin said,for Indians,it should always be India First.

Maoists getting arms from China
India for the first time has said that the Maoists are getting arms from China, which is a "big supplier" of small weapons.
"Chinese are big smugglers... suppliers of small arms. I am sure that the Maoists also get them," Home Secretary G K Pillai said when asked if the Naxals were having links with China.

Funny,But Thought Provoking
"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns - the ones we don't know we don't know."
