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.
