Sharad Pawar Slap Video, Harvinder Singh slaps him for price rise

Sharad Pawar was slapped by a sardar named Harvinder at the NDMC Center in New Delhi on Thursday. He slapped him as he shouted slogans against corruption and price rise. Harvinder Singh has been arrested by the police and taken to Parliament Street Police Station

Reason for slapping Sharad Pawar- Harvinder Singh said he was tired of the continuing scams in the country. He reinterated that he did not do it for publicity. He even went on to say , "I would have killed him if I had my kripan today."

After he slapped Sharad Pawar, Harvinder Singh fished out a little knife and said that he would kill politicians who were connected in corruption. He said that he was not worried about consequences.

Harvinder said, "The prices for all essential commodities have risen. Annaji requested for Lokpal but it did not work out. I'm not a terrorist as a terrorist would never take such a step. I'm fed up of all the corrupt ministers involved in various scams," he said.

Defiant Harvinder Singh said he is the same person who attacked former telecom minister Sukhram on Saturday. The 86 year old has been convicted and sentenced to five years in prison for taking Rs. 3 lakh as bribe to award a contract to a telecom firm in 1996.

Pawar said such incidents should be ignored."He has done it in media presence, it was a scuffle. It's a serious matter, but not sure whether he was a journalist or one amongst many who were there. We don't have to give much of an importance to this incident," said Pawar. "Such kind of violent actions will not be tolerated," another BJP MP Smriti Irani said.

Should I apply for Aadhar Card? Is UID Aadhar Card Important?

Is the Aadhar card necessary? What are the benefits, why should I apply for one? ‘Aadhar Card’ is must for all Indians says Chairman of the Unique Identification Authority of India, Nandan Nilekani, At a function in Pune, Nilekani said that lack of proof of identity remains a barrier for many Indians, particularly at a time of large level rural-to-urban migration. “The moment you become a migrant, you are rendered anonymous in terms of drawing benefits such as ration card supplies, public health, education schemes etc.,” he said. Nilekani said that of country's 1.2 billion population, only 50 million i.e. less than 5% hold a passport, close to 100 million people have PAN cards and another 200 million have driving licenses. "A vast section of people does not have any ID proof,” he said.

Aadhar Card is Important 
There is an urgent need to standardize the personal identification system of India with our population on a vertical fast track. You cannot implement the policies, taxation, control black markets, security, human resource development unless you have an accurate base data of all the people. It will lead not only to Identity proof cause but to monitor country's population and then devising way to get it better. Nisha Matthews, a banker says, “Only 35 percent of Indians have identity, so applying for an ID card is a good move”
Till date we do not have any up to date soft copy database of all the people living in india. Aadhar is creating a soft database of all people which will be very easy and handy way to track people, population, their activities, track and nab down criminal activities and crimes. I feel we are far behind but on track. And their is need to create more awareness among common people about Aadhar. It's purpose and motive.

Aadhar Card is not important
The criticism against Aadhar Card is leakage of personal and confidential information. Sharad, a market research analyst says, “The government wants to give other governments access to personal data of citizens to other governents online.Why is all our data online open to the world. Prateik feels, “ The government wants to give other governments access to personal data of citizens to other governents online.Why is all our data online open to the world.

Anand Tripathi feels Aadhar card is just time waste. “Now the Question comes, which card has validity to proof identiity? Voter card, Passport, Pan card, Ration card, driving licence OR AADHAR CARD. In my view any citizen access any one card of the above it is sufficient for them to utilise the same for any government /identity purpose. This is nothing but onle a wastage of time and money or government should define any one card for all indian as identity and abolish all other cards issued by different agencies. He adds tha Aadhar is just one more useless card . is the rationcard doung any good other than loading pocktes of ration sopkeepers with black money . another card another way to corruption

Mah Dass from London writes “The High commission of India in London will not accept Post dated birth certificate from Municipality/Panchayat etc., unless they are invariably be certified by the Indian First Class Magistrate of the area with name, stamp, seal and contact telephone numbers with area code for verification. Why need for Aadhaar card and who is going to accept them?

What do you think, is Aadhar Card important, should one apply for Aadhar UID card?

Should Anna Hazare join politics?

Anna Hazare aide Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday appealed to voters to hand down a "historic defeat" to the party. "I am here to convey Anna Hazare's message. If voters of Hisar launch a campaign against the Congress government, the party will be forced to accept the Jan Lokpal Bill. The eyes of entire India are now on the Hisar byelection," Arvind Kejriwal said. The Congress hit back at Team Anna's campaign in Hisar, saying Anna Hazare should come out in the open if he wanted to be in politics. "If Anna Hazare wants to get into politics, he should form his own party," Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh said. Should Anna Hazare accept Congress party's challenge and form his own party?

If politics is a dirty game, can people like Anna Hazare clean the filth? Akash Tripathy, a social crusader says, “With all other parties corrupt to certain extent, and not one credible party worth voting to power; Anna forming his own party with honest candidates is the only solution. There is no dearth of honest candidates in whole of India, in every state. Also with a strong Lok Pal Bill, honest people even thinking of corruption will be discouraged. A Clean India is possible!!!!!” Should Anna Hazare join politics , is it good to be in the system to clean the system?

Mumbai Unsafe for Women? Crime rate in Mumbai increasing?

There has been a rise in crimes against women and senior citizens in Mumbai. In fact, some statistics that say the crimes in Mumbai in 2011 has even surpassed Delhi’s crime records. Women have been attacked on local trains, senior citizens, mainly women, have been murdered. The recent Amboli case where a couple of youths were killed in broad daylight is also a testimony that crime-rate is increasing in Mumbai. Shops and banks have been brazenly robbed. Not to mention, that Mumbai has been increasingly weighed down by bomb blast in 2011.

The crime rate in Mumbai has been on the rise. The latest incident of Keenan and Rueben being brutally killed is yet another instance of how lawless the city has become. The minister of state for home & the police commissioner should hang their heads in shame for not trying to build the confidence of people and women in particular, after this incident.A strong deterent in the form of quick conviction in a fast track court should be ensured by the police by building strong case and providing justice to the families of the victims. if a couple is seen sitting in a park or roaming around the cops start harassing them booking them and extorting money from them, But when these goons harass women no cop is seen in that vicinity these things often happen . It clearly shows that the cops are hand in gloves with these goons.

A woman on the basis of anonymity says, “As a woman it is a routine that we have go to through. Being pinched, touches, bruised and being on the receiving side of lewd comments. , in buses, on train stations. How much will you scream back and how muh will you fight these hooligans?. I once got slapped back when i slapped a man who felt my backside. The others just looked on... Now i'm scared to fight back... What if something even worse happens to me..and strangely this incident happened in front of a police chowky... the only thing i do now is to abuse them and humilate them in public... but they just walk on remorseless...”
Do you think the law and order in Mumbai is going from bad to worse? Is the crime rate in Mumbai increasing more than ever? What are your views, comment on what you feel about the city.

F1 Race in India- Good or Waste of Money?

Famed athlete P.T. Usha has said that the Indian Grand Prix is useless waste of money. Do you agree with her? In fact, PT Usha does not even consider motor or formula 1 racing a sport.

"I feel very bad because such hi-fi business has nothing to do with 99% of Indians. It is a criminal waste (of money). First, Twenty20 cricket spoiled the spirit of Indian sports, and now here comes another avatar which will mostly attract corporate money, who (Corporate) rarely spend for sports promotion. Only God can save the Indian sports," Usha said.

Top Shooter Gagan Narang thinks that Formula 1 racing in Indian should be open to viewing for everyone not just people with lot of money. He said, " "Let's face it that the sport is not for everyone. Only people with money will have the access. It has to be marketed well. I have heard from Indian friends abroad that turning up for Indian GP is more expensive than Singapore GP. That beats the purpose."


Its high time for change in way sports in perceived in India. Commercialization is the way to go. These corporates can pump in huge money in sports which will only enable them to pose as a proper career prospect. These traditional sports person keep cribbing for the lack of sports facility and funding from the government. We all know what our government cannot do in 100 years, our corporates can do in months.

I am pretty sure that if we can get good funding through commercialization, we have enough talent to shine in all possible sporting arenas. F1 is mistaken as a richmen sport it is not,the investments are huge but look at the opportunities it has created in employment,technology and resources,TCS provides services for ferrari,more than 10000 ppl will get jobs at buddh,it will help in tourism,will generate money as its reaches to more than 300 countries,and even the CEO of sauber team(monisha) is an indian origin women,it provides work for engineers n many others,its run with lot of thoughts not something like wht happened with cwc n athletes also found guilty for doping,n its corporates like tata,sahara who are providing facilities for our athletes,if u dont support anything at least dont discourage it,was the money spent on CWC was usefull?

Irom Sharmila; World's Longest Hunger Striker; Save Irom Sharmila

Irom Sharmila is the world’s longest hunger striker; having rejected food and water for ten long years. A noble achievement but something that should leave a lump in our throat. While the other leaders are going hammer and tongs about their high profile fasts and having close door meetings with the echelons of the government; there is one woman who has silently yet in a strong-willed manner fought a long ridden battle for ten long years.

Irom Chanu Sharmila, called the Iron Lady of Manipur is a civil rights activist, social worker, journalist and poet. The reason she has been on hunger strike is to demand that the Indian government repeal the Armed Forces Special Powers Act, 1958; which she believes is responsible for violence in north-east part of India; particularly in Manipur.

On November 2 2000, in Maloma, a little town in Manipur, ten civilians fell to the bullets of Assam Rifles; a part of India’s paramilitary forces; while they were waiting at the bus stop. The incident became infamous as ‘Malom Massacre’. Sharmila, a 28 year old daughter of a veterinary worker, began to fast in protest of the killings. Actually, she would fast customarily every Thursday since childhood; but when the killing happens; it was a Thursday, too. She continued with the fast and has been doing ever since.

Irom Sharmila’s demand has been that the Indian government must repeal the AFSPA, which gives soldiers the right to detain any Manipuri citizen on the doubt of being a rebel. Three days after the strike, Irom was arrested by the police under section 309 of Indian Penal Code, as an ‘attempt to commit suicide’. Her health worsened quickly and the police gave her nasogastric intubation to keep her alive. Since then, the lady has been regularly released and then arrested under Section 309 an act with imprisonment up to one year or a fine, or both.

By 2006, Sharmila a modern icon of peaceful protest went to Raj Ghat to pay her tribute to her inspiration Mahatma Gandhi. She has written letters to the Prime Minister, the President and the Home Minister. Apart from a nomination to the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize by a woman’s organization called North-East Network in Guwhati, she has also been awarded the 2007 Gwangju Prize for Human Rights.

It is a sad thing that Sharmila has been ignored by the media, the government; her access to her friends, supporters and family have been denied. Human Rights Agencies and the UN have found that this law is continuously violating basic human rights and leading to various ills, exploitation and vengeful repercussions in the society. The center’s apathy towards the case and an indifferent attitude towards Irom Sharmila cannot be negated. There is a candle light prayer being organized on June 25 at 6pm to support the non-violent protest and relentless dedication of the Iron Woman of Manipur, Irom Sharmila.
