A R Rahman Insulted by blatantly corrupt CWG Committee

A news report in yahoo "

A R Rahman''s Commonwealth Games theme song has failed to impress the CWG Organising Committee''s Executive Board member V K Malhotra, who feels the composition has "fallen short of expectations". "Oh yaaro, yeh India bula liya", which was launched amid much fanfare by the Oscar-winning composer yesterday has been given a thumbs down by Malhotra, who has suggested that the song be reworked.

"This song has fallen short of expectations. We had a expected a better anthem for the Games from a composer of Rahman''s status," Malhotra, also the vice-president of the Indian Olympic Association, told PTI. "He has given some very good songs like ''Maa Tujhe Salaam'' but this song is not that impressive.

We hope that the song is made better because there is still some time for the Games," he added. Rahman sang it in front of a gathering which included Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, her Haryana counterpart Bhupinder Singh Hooda and CWG Organising Committee Chairman Suresh Kalmadi yesterday.

"I feel honoured to get the opportunity to compose the theme song for the mega-event. It was not an easy task.

I had started composing it six months ago and finished just last night," Rahman said after the launch. The launch of the theme song had been delayed after the Group of Ministers overseeing the quadrennial sporting extravaganza asked Rahman to change it a little bit.

"

After this A R Rahman should stop taking offers from these kinds of corrupt organising committees.

Has the CWG(Common Wealth Games) Organising Committee''s Executive Board member V K Malhotra and his colleagues and Mr.Suresh Kalmadi finished looting the 'Common Wealth'??

May be yes,that's why they have started defaming the Great A R Rahman.

Let there be a proper investigation so that the people of India will get to know how many crores people like Malhotra has looted.He and his so-called committee has no face left to sit on judgement on any thing after the blatant corruption charges they are facing.It reflects on this committee's inefficiency and it's single minded purpose of looting public money,that the Prime Minister has to step-in and take direct control to see that the games venues and infrastructure are ready.

And let sundry people like Malhotra stop tarnishing the image of one of India's great Legends.Rahman is a musician who has done wonders to Indian music.He has made India proud the world over.

It's not necessary that every body likes all songs composed by Rahman or for that matter by any other composer.Mr.Malhotra is perfectly within his right to say he did not like the song.Fine.

But to ask Rahman to again (this will be the 2nd time) change the song is a blatant insult.

Rahman should tell the CWG Organising Committee to get lost.
