#Terrorism - Islamic State (ISIS): Militants 'kill 300 Yazidi captives'... 3 May 2015
Yazidis adhere to a centuries-old religion, with its origins in several faiths
Several
hundred Yazidi captives have been killed in Iraq by Islamic State (IS)
militants west of Mosul, Yazidi and Iraqi officials say.
A statement from the Yazidi Progress Party said 300 captives were killed on Friday in the Tal Afar district near the city. Iraqi Vice-President Osama al-Nujaifi described the reported deaths as "horrific and barbaric". Thousands of members of the religious minority group were captured last year. It is not clear how they were killed, or why this has happened now. Many
are reported to have been held in Mosul, the main stronghold of IS
after the militants swept through large areas of northern and western
Iraq, and eastern Syria in 2014.
Yazidis, whose religion includes elements of several faiths, are considered infidels by IS. Thousands
fled to the Kurdish-controlled region of northern Iraq after IS
captured the Yazidi-populated Sinjar district in Nineveh province. Hundreds of men were killed, while some Yazidi women were held and used as sex slaves. In other developments on Saturday:
a car bomb exploded near a popular restaurant in Baghdad's predominantly Shia Karrada district, killing at least 13 people
at least six Iraqi soldiers died in a suicide car bomb attack in the town of Garma in western Anbar province
IS pushed back
The Yazidi
Progress Party's statement, quoted by the Kurdish Shafaq News website,
condemned the latest incident as a "heinous crime" and called on Iraqi
forces to free those still held by IS. In January, IS released some 200 mainly elderly Yazidis into the hands of Kurdish officials near the city of Kirkuk. Many of them, held in Mosul, had disabilities or were wounded, though no reason was given by IS for their release. In
recent months, IS has been pushed back from some of the areas it
captured, though many Yazidi villages are thought to remain under the
militants' control. In December, Kurdish Peshmerga forces drove
back IS militants in north-western Iraq, relieving a long siege of
Sinjar mountain where thousands of Yazidis had sought refuge. The Iraqi government, with forces backed by Iran, also declared it had taken back control of the city of Tikrit in April.
Who are the Yazidis?
Media captionYazidis revere the Bible and Koran - but much of their tradition is oral
Religious sect found in northern Iraq, Syria and the Caucasus
Religion incorporates elements of many faiths, including Zoroastrianism
Principal divine figure, Malak Taus
(Peacock Angel), is the supreme angel of the seven angels who ruled the
universe after it was created by God
Many Muslims and other groups incorrectly view Yazidis as devil worshippers
There are estimated to be around 500,000 Yazidis worldwide, most living in Iraq's Nineveh plains
In August 2007 jihadists attacked Yazidi villages in Nineveh, killing between 400 and 700 people
#Boxing - Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather: 'Fight of the Century' Ready to Rumble
Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather will battle each other in a boxing
match that has generated unprecedented buzz in its run up. With both
boxers absolutely ready to settle for nothing less than a win, it
promises to be more than just a bout within a ring.
3 May, 2015
A fan is seen before a painting of Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquaio called "The Superfight" by artist, Richard Slone.
Las Vegas: Years
of debate and months of hype will reach a climax Saturday when Manny
Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather step into the ring in Las Vegas for the
most eagerly anticipated boxing match in recent memory. The
long-awaited bout, which has been more than five years in the making,
has transcended the traditional boxing scene, catapulting the sport back
into the public consciousness and promising to rewrite the record books
as the most lucrative fight of all time.
"Sin City" was buzzing ahead of the welterweight world title showdown and
the money men were rubbing their hands: total revenue for the bout could
reach an eye-watering $400 million, fueled by as many as three million
pay-per-view purchases.
The
breathtaking figures -- a possible $200 million payday for the unbeaten
AmericanMayweather and an estimated $100 million bonanza for
Philippine icon Pacquiao -- have intensified the spotlight on a fight
between two of the greatest fighters of their generation. As a
taster for the main event at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, a raucous crowd
of 11,500 turned out for Friday's weigh-in, as Pacquiao and Mayweather
went nose-to-nose. The few tickets that did go on sale for the
bout itself were reportedly snapped up in one minute, with A-listers and
high-rollers making up the vast majority of a 16,800 sell-out crowd,
making the fight more akin to a night out at the Oscars than two men
attempting to pound the other to the canvas. In
Las Vegas, tourism officials said occupancy for the city's 150,000
hotel rooms would approach 100 percent. Casinos were advertising
red-carpet events hosted by hip-hop stars such as Puff Daddy and Snoop
Dogg and pop star Justin Bieber -- a Mayweather fan and friend.
And
then there is the small issue of the fight itself, which even if it
doesn't measure up to Mayweather's claim of the "biggest fight in boxing
history," is an intriguing clash of styles between men of contrasting
personalities. Pacquiao, 36, a two-term congressman with a music
and film career, credits the grace of God for lifting him from poverty
in his youth and later guiding him away from a life of excess that his
ring success made possible. "Pacman," who undoubtedly had the
crowd on his side at the weigh-in, will go into the ring with all of the
Philippines in his corner. Streets will be empty on fight night
-- Sunday morning in the Philippines -- as the nation of 100 million
cheers its "National Fist." The brash Mayweather touts his status
as a money-making machine and comes from a troubled past that includes
jail time for one of a string of domestic violence incidents. Mayweather,
47-0 with 26 knockouts, is a 2-1 favorite to add Pacquiao's World
Boxing Organization world title to his own World Boxing Association and
World Boxing Council belts.
Public opinion is with Pacquiao; boxing experts say Mayweather to triumph, most likely by 12-round decision. Mayweather,
38, is a supremely skilled boxer and potentially devastating
counter-puncher, famed for his ability to hit without being hit. - 'I'm ready' - Pacquiao, who weighed in a pound lighter, will be in the unenviable position of the smaller fighter, taking more of the risks. The aggressive southpaw, who owns a record of 57-5-2 with 38 knockouts, says he is content in his underdog role. A
winner of world titles in an unprecedented eight weight divisions,
Pacquiao noted that he's beaten plenty of big foes, among them Oscar De
La Hoya in 2008. "No one thought I could beat Oscar, and I was the
underdog then," said Pacquiao, who moved up 12 pounds in weight to
batter the "Golden Boy" in a fight that sent him into retirement. "Maybe
it's good for me." Once each had stepped off the scale on Friday,
Mayweather and Pacquiao came eye-to-eye for a stare down -- just their
third face-to-face meeting since the bout was announced in February. Their next will come Saturday night, when they step into the ring. "I've dedicated myself to the sport of boxing for more than 20 years," Mayweather said. "I'm ready."
Now corruption Start Again!!! In BJP Gov Also Like Congress Gov.
Purti violations: CAG report names Gadkari
2 may 2015
In an audit report tabled in Parliament on Thursday,
the Comptroller and Auditor-General (CAG) named Union Minister Nitin
Gadkari as one of the “promoters and/or directors” of Purti Sakhar
Karkhana Ltd., a company that, it said, was sanctioned a loan of Rs.
84.12 crore by the Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA) in
violation of guidelines.
“… IREDA could recover only
Rs. 71.35 crore out of Rs. 84.12 crore recoverable from the borrower,
resulting in a sacrifice of Rs. 12.77 crore,” the report said. The
contentions of the management of Purti for doing so were untenable, it
added.
Purti Sakhar Karkhana did not comply with the
conditions for the interest subsidy, the report observed, saying: “The
borrower violated the terms and conditions for subsidy schemes.”
The
project, which was to be commissioned in February 2004, was finally
commissioned in March 2007 and subsequently switched over (June 2009) to
100 per cent coal-based operation as against an allowance of up to 25
per cent prescribed in the subsidy scheme.
The promoters and/or directors of the borrower company had given their personal guarantee for the loan.
The project was commissioned on March 18, 2007, and the case was classified as a non-performing asset on March 31, 2007.
Loan turns NPA
Though
the loan became a non-performing asset (NPA) in March 2007, the actual
benefit of the subsidy amounting to Rs.1.66 crore was passed on till
December 2009 and unutilised subsidy of Rs.0.22 crore refunded to the
Ministry in August 2010.
According to the CAG audit,
“Various irregularities in implementation of the Ministry of New and
Renewable Energy’s subsidy schemes were observed”.
Keywords: CAG, Purti, Gadkari

CAG has pointed out financial wrong doing by Purti group companies, founded by Union Minister Shri Nitin Gadkari, and with which his family has close links. We demand the resignation of Shri Gadkari.

Shri Modi had claimed his govt would reduce unnecessary expenditure, but has spent a staggering Rs. 780 Crore of taxpayers money in the last 6 months on promoting himself and his govt.

भूंकप से भी ज्यादा झटका दिया मोदी सरकार ने - पेट्रोल और डीजल के दामों में बेतहाशा बढ़ोतरी। मोदी का नसीब कहाँ गया? तेल लेने.. https://t.co/EnAfDtgQUx — Lalu Prasad Yadav (@laluprasadrjd)

भूंकप से भी ज्यादा झटका दिया मोदी सरकार ने - पेट्रोल और डीजल के दामों में बेतहाशा बढ़ोतरी। नसीब कहाँ गया? तेल लेने.. https://t.co/EnAfDtgQUx
इसके पहले भी बिहार के पूर्व मुख्यमंत्री ने मोदी पर पेट्रोल और डीजल की कीमतों में बढ़ोतरी पर कहा था कि यह वृद्घि आम आदमी और कम आमदनी
वालों पर भयानक कहर की तरह है.
गौरतलब है कि तेल कंपनियों ने अंतरराष्ट्रीय बाजार में कच्चे तेल की कीमत
बढ़ने और स्थानीय स्तर पर डॉलर के मुकाबले रुपए में गिरावट के कारण पेट्रोल
और डीजल के मूल्यों में गुरुवार रात से वृद्घि कर दी है.
Moga छेड़छाड़ (पंजाब) : पीड़ित परिवार को 'न्याय चाहिए, पैसा नहीं'
...पंजाब सरकार को शुक्रवार को एक और शर्मिंदगी झेलनी पड़ी - पीड़िता के परिवार ने सरकार की ओर से दिए जा रहे 20 लाख की आर्थिक सहायता लेने से इनकार कर दिया
2 May 2015
पंजाब के मोगा में बस में कथित छेड़छाड़ की घटना के मामले में पंजाब सरकार को शुक्रवार को एक और शर्मिंदगी झेलनी पड़ी.
पीड़िता के परिवार ने सरकार की ओर से दिए जा रहे 20 लाख की आर्थिक सहायता लेने से इनकार कर दिया है. जिस बस में ये कथित छेड़छाड़ की घटना हुई, वो मुख्यमंत्री प्रकाश सिंह बादल के परिवार की है. छेड़छाड़
की घटना के बाद बस से गिर कर एक नाबालिग लड़की की मौत हो गई. इस हादसे में
बस से कूद कर घायल हुई उसकी मां की हालत गंभीर है.
'नहीं चाहिए पैसा'
परिवार
के सदस्यों का कहना है कि उन्हें न्याय चाहिए, पैसा नहीं. परिवारवालों की
मांग है कि इस मामले में पुलिस ऑर्बिट बस सर्विस के मालिकों के ख़िलाफ़ केस
दर्ज करे. परिवार ने सरकारी आर्थिक मदद को लेने से इनकार कर दिया है. सातवीं में पढ़ने वाली 13 साल की लड़की के पिता ने कहा, "हमें पैसा नहीं चाहिए, हमें न्याय चाहिए." रिश्तेदारों
के मुताबिक बस कंडक्टर ने लड़की और उसकी माँ के साथ छेड़छाड़ शुरू कर दी
थी, जिससे बचने के लिए दोनों ने बस से छलांग लगा दी. लड़की की दादी की मांग है कि बस के मालिकों के ख़िलाफ़ प्राथमिकी दर्ज की जाए और उनका लइसेंस रद्द किया जाए. ऑर्बिट बस सर्विस के मालिक राज्य के उप मुख्यमंत्री सुखबीर सिंह बादल हैं. कथित छेड़छाड़ की घटना और फिर नाबालिग लड़की की मौत के बाद पूरे देश से इसके विरोध में आवाज़ें उठ रही हैं. लड़की के परिवार ने बस सर्विस के मालिकों के साथ-साथ शामिल दोषियों के ख़िलाफ़ कड़ी कार्रवाई की मांग की है.
J&K में फिर फहराए गए पाक झंडे, गिलानी ने दी अमरनाथ यात्रा पर Indian Gov को चेतावनी
2 May 2015
गिलानी की रैली में
प्रदर्शनकारियों ने पाकिस्तानी झंडे फहराए। ये तस्वीर टि्वटर पर शेयर की
गई है। इसकी प्रामाणिकता की पुष्टि नहीं हुई है।
श्रीनगर: जम्मू-कश्मीर के त्राल में शुक्रवार को अलगाववादी
नेता सैयद अली शाह गिलानी की रैली में एक बार फिर पाकिस्तानी झंडे फहराए
गए। गिलानी ने राज्य की मुफ्ती मोहम्मद सईद सरकार को चेतावनी दी कि अमरनाथ
यात्रा एक महीने से ज्यादा वक्त नहीं चलनी चाहिए। बता दें कि इससे पहले,
श्रीनगर में हुई एक रैली में अलगाववादी नेता मसरत आलम ने पाकिस्तानी झंडा
फहराया, जिसके बाद काफी विवाद हुआ। इस रैली में गिलानी भी शामिल हुआ था। इस
मामले में मसरत जेल में है और उस पर देशद्रोह का मामला भी दर्ज हुआ है।
पुलिस को चकमा देकर त्राल पहुंचा गिलानी
हुर्रियत के कट्टरपंथी धड़े का नेता सैयद अली शाह गिलानी पुलिस को
चकमा देकर दक्षिण कश्मीर के पुलवामा जिले के त्राल पहुंचा था। वह यहां जुमे
की नमाज में हिस्सा लेने आया थ। पुलिस को इस बात की खबर थी कि गिलानी
त्राल जा सकता है। इस वजह से एक पुलिस पार्टी शुक्रवार सुबह हैदरपोरा स्थित
अलगाववादी नेता के घर पहुंची। हुर्रियत कॉन्फ्रेंस के प्रवक्ता अयाज अकबर
ने बताया कि हम जानते थे कि पुलिस गिलानी को फिर नजरबंद करने आएगी। लेकिन
गिलानी इससे पहले ही त्राल चला गया।
त्राल ही क्यों गया गिलानी?
त्राल के कमल फॉरेस्ट एरिया में दो युवकों की 13 अप्रैल को मुठभेड़
में मौत हुई थी। स्थानीय लोगों और अलगाववादी नेताओं का दावा है कि यह फर्जी
मुठभेड़ है। गिलानी इस कथित फर्जी मुठभेड़ के बाद पिछले एक पखवाड़े में कई
बार त्राल जाने की कोशिश कर चुका है। लेकिन हर बार पुलिस ने उसकी कोशिशें
नाकाम कर दी थीं। 15 अप्रैल से पुलिस ने उसे नजरबंद कर रखा था। इस बार वह
पुलिस को चकमा देने में कामयाब रहा। गिलानी ने सात साल बाद कश्मीर घाटी में
जुमे की नमाज के बाद किसी जमावड़े को संबोधित किया।
अपने आकाओं को खुश करने की कोशिश कर रहे हैं अलगाववादी : नकवी
कश्मीर में फिर पाकिस्तानी झंडे नजर आने के बाद केंद्रीय मंत्री
मुख्तार अब्बास नकवी ने कहा- ये अलगाववादी अपने आकाओं को खुश करने के लिए
ऐसी हरकतें कर रहे हैं। इन्हें निराशा हाथ लगेगी। अलगाववादियों को समझना
होगा कि यह देश कभी तालिबानी विचारधारा से नहीं चलेगा। यह देश विकास के
एजेंडे पर आगे बढ़ेगा। देश और जम्मू कश्मीर की जनता अमन चाहती है।
2008 में भी अमरनाथ यात्रा काे लेकर हो चुका है टकराव
अमरनाथ यात्रा इस वर्ष 2 जुलाई से शुरू होनी है। यह 29 अगस्त तक
चलेगी। करीब दो महीने चलने वाली अमरनाथ यात्रा को लेकर 2008 में भी विवाद
हो चुका है। तब जम्मू कश्मीर सरकार ने 800 कनाल वन भूमि श्री अमरनाथ श्राइन
बोर्ड को सौंपने का फैसला किया था। लेकिन इसके विरोध में अलगाववादियों ने
कश्मीर में हिंसक प्रदर्शन शुरू कर दिए। जवाब में जम्मू में श्री अमरनाथ
यात्रा संघर्ष समिति ने प्रदर्शन शुरू किए। कई जिलों में लंबे समय तक
कर्फ्यू रहा। कई लोगों की मौत हुई। सेना बुलाई गई। दो महीने तक राज्य में
अशांति के बाद सरकार और संघर्ष समिति के बीच सहमति बनी। 40 हेक्टेयर जमीन
श्राइन बोर्ड को दी गई।
Arun Shourie was also critical of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his Pakistan policy.
NEW
DELHI: Former Union minister Arun Shourie tore down the Narendra Modi
government on Friday, calling its economic policies directionless while
accusing the "trimurti" of Modi, finance minister Arun Jaitley and BJP
chief Amit Shah of monopolizing decision-making. Even as he
praised Modi for achievements on the foreign policy front, the member of
the Vajpayee cabinet said the economy was being run on the basis of
intuition and revelations, and showed lack of the big picture. He said
decisions were centralized in the PMO which typically lacked "expertise
and talent quotient" and expressed worry over what he saw as choking of
institutions such as Central Information Commission and Central
Vigilance Commission. He said the silence of Modi, who was
otherwise active in "tweeting business" on issues such as "love jihad"
and "ghar wapsi", was sending a wrong message and could disrupt harmony
and national security. Shourie
also faulted the Modi dispensation for political management, saying its
aggressive plans for expansion and tone was alienating allies, while
those within were terrified of speaking their mind. Shourie's remarks in an interview marked the first attack from somebody
who is perceived to be an insider and came amid the build-up to the
first anniversary celebrations of the Modi government. Shourie,
who was widely speculated to be on Modi's shortlist for the finance
ministry, scorned the finance minister in particular. He said the
investment climate had not improved, and the concern of foreign
investors about stability and clarity in taxation policy remained
unaddressed. "Government is more concerned about managing
headlines than putting policies in place. The situation is like the many
unconnected different pieces of a jigsaw puzzle lying in a mess with no
big picture in mind about how to put them together," he said. Shourie said the finance ministry's approach towards FIIs was like that
of a bully who retreated and offered a whole lot of concessions after
making tax demands. "The bravado lasted two days," he said while
reviewing the Modi government's first year in a TV interview. He was also critical of Jaitley for being lawyerly in his approach
towards criticism by noted banker Deepak Parekh. "The government cannot
dismiss people like Parekh," he said. Although Shourie said "he
still liked Modi and believed him to be the man who could lead", the
former journalist was similarly scathing on the PM too. He suggested
that Modi was still in the mode of a chief minister who would focus on
large projects and had so far failed to focus on "policies" and "big
picture". Even on foreign policy where he praised Modi for
recognizing the challenge of China, Shourie, who started off as a critic
of Modi but turned into a supporter, said the policy towards the US was
a continuation of improvement of ties under successive governments
since the Vajpayee regime and criticized the lack of clarity and
contradictory messages to Pakistan. In fact, he said that Modi, like
other PMs in the first year of their tenure, had shown the fascination
for "out-of-box" methods at the cost of traditional diplomacy. Modi was also targeted for the domination of the "trimurti", saying
people within the party were afraid to tell them the truth and hence the
troika was not getting feedback about the reality. He said mistakes
were not being investigated, giving the example of Delhi polls. Shourie termed Modi's decision to wear a monogrammed suit as a critical
mistake. "I cannot understand who could have given such a gift to
him... and it was inexplicable and incomprehensible that he chose to
wear it," he said. On the minority issue also, the former
journalist, who earned the praise of RSS for his attacks on Christian
missionaries and Leftist historiography, said Modi's silence on moral
issues was troubling. "When a man like Julio Ribeiro speaks in anguish,
you have to listen," he said, warning that ISIS was waiting at the
doorstep. He was critical of the government's decision to
"force" the land bill when the issue, being on the concurrent list,
should have been left to states. Shourie also said the ordinance was
unnecessary.
अरुण शौरी बोले- मोदीनॉमिक्स फेल, मोदी-शाह-जेटली चला रहे बीजेपी
नई दिल्ली. बीजेपी के वरिष्ठ नेता और अटल बिहारी वाजपेयी की
सरकार में मंत्री रहे अरुण शौरी ने मोदी सरकार पर निशाना साधा है। शौरी ने
कहा है कि बीजेपी को मोदी,शाह और जेटली की त्रिमूर्ति चला रही है।
प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी पर हमला बोलते हुए शौरी ने कहा कि देश के आर्थिक
हालात को संभालने में मोदीनॉमिक्स फेल होती दिखाई दे रही है। इसके अलावा
उन्होंने अल्पसंख्यकों पर हो रहे हमलों पर प्रधानमंत्री द्वारा आंखें मूंद
लेने का आरोप भी लगाया। अरुण शौरी ने ये बातें एक अंग्रेजी चैनल से बातचीत
में कही हैं। पूर्व प्रधानमंत्री अटल बिहारी वाजपेयी की सरकार में सूचना
प्रसारण मंत्री और विनिवेश मंत्री रहे शौरी आर्थिक सुधारों के दिशा में
प्रमुखता से आवाज उठाते रहे हैं। वाजपेयी सरकार में पार्टी के कद्दावर
नेताओं में गिने जाने वाले शौरी मोदी सरकार में फिलहाल हाशिए पर हैं।
सिर्फ हेडलाइंस में बने रहने के लिए काम कर रही है सरकार
मोदी सरकार ने आर्थिक विकास की दर के 8 फीसदी और बहुत जल्द इसके 10
फीसदी के करीब होने के दावे पर भी शौरी बरसे। उन्होंने कहा कि ये सरकार के
बड़बोलेपन को दिखाता है। उन्होंने कहा कि ऐसे दावे कुछ देर के लिए हेडलाइंस
तो बन सकते हैं, लेकिन हकीकत में ऐसा संभव नहीं है। उन्होंने दावा किया कि
मोदीनॉमिक्स दिशाहीन तरीके से काम कर रही है। शौरी ने कहा कि सरकार के पास
दावे हैं लेकिन आर्थिक योजनाओं का कोई खाका नहीं है। उन्होंने आरोप लगाया
कि ऐसा दिखाई देता है कि सरकार सिर्फ हेडलाइंस में बने रहने के लिए काम कर
रही है ताकि उसकी योजनाओं को मीडिया में जगह मिलती रहे।
सरकार ने अब तक कुछ खास नहीं किया
मोदी सरकार की उपलब्धियों की सूची को खारिज करते हुए शौरी ने कहा कि
महंगाई, फिस्कल डेफिसिट, एफडीआई, कोल ब्लॉक और स्पेक्ट्रम नीलामी जैसे
मुद्दों पर शौरी ने कहा कि इन चीजों के नतीजे कुछ ऐसे ही आने थे। इसमें
सरकार ने कुछ नहीं किया है। मसलन- तेल और गैस की कीमतों में कमी का मसला
अंतरराष्ट्रीय मामला है] इसमें सरकार ने कुछ नहीं किया।
मोदी के महंगे सूट पर भी साधा निशाना
शौरी से जब अमेरिकी राष्ट्रपति बराक ओबामा के दिल्ली दौरे के दौरान पहने गए
मोदी के महंगे सूट को लेकर सवाल किया गया तो उन्होंने कहा, ''मैं खुद नहीं
समझ पा रहा हूं कि उन्हें ऐसा करने और दिखाने की क्या जरूरत थी।'' शौरी ने
आरोप लगाया कि आप लाखों का सूट पहन कर गांधीजी का नाम नहीं ले सकते।
अटल बिहारी वाजपेयी की सरकार में अहम भूमिका निभाने वाले अरुण शौरी ने
शुक्रवार को प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी पर हमला बोला. मोदी सरकार की पहली
सालगिरह के मौके पर शौरी ने इंटरव्यू दिया.
जानिए अरुण शौरी के इंटरव्यू की 10 खास बातें...
1. सरकार
अपनी सोच को लेकर स्पष्ट नहीं है. सरकार के पास आइडिया अच्छे हैं, लेकिन
उन्हें लागू करने में वो पीछे है. समझ और वायदों तथा प्रोजेक्शन और
परफॉर्मेंस में बड़ा गैप है. सरकार को पूरी तरह लो प्रोफाइल रहना चाहिए.
2. मोदी
की आर्थिक नीति दिशाहीन है. आर्थिक नीति को लेकर कोई बड़ी तस्वीर नहीं
है. आर्थिक नीति पर मोदी का फोकस एक मुख्यमंत्री की तरह है. उन्हें
परियोजनाओं की बजाय नीतियों पर ज्यादा फोकस करना चाहिए.
3. मोदी की विदेश नीति सफल है, लेकिन मोदी को नीतियों को जल्दी-जल्दी लागू
करना चाहिए. चीन भारत के लिए सबसे बड़ी चुनौती है. मोदी को और तेज होना
पड़ेगा. कोई हमारे लिए इंतजार नहीं करेगा. अमेरिका पहले ही इस बेसब्री को
महसूस कर रहा है.
4. पाकिस्तान को लेकर सरकार स्पष्ट नहीं है. हमें पाकिस्तान की तरफ स्थिरता से नजर रखनी चाहिए.
5. निवेश नहीं बढ़ रहा. सरकार इंडिया इंक की चेतावनियों को नजरअंदाज नहीं
कर सकती. सरकार को जागने की जरूरत है. निवेशकों को अभी भी उम्मीद है, लेकिन
इंडस्ट्रियल सेक्टर मजबूत कदमों का इंतजार कर रहा है. विकास दर के दावे
सिर्फ हेडलाइंस में आने के लिए किए जाते हैं और सरकार सिर्फ हेडलाइंस में
आने की कोशिश करती है.
6. टैक्स व्यवस्था को लेकर कन्फ्यूजन है. सरकार के फैसलों से निवेशक छिटक रहे हैं.
7. भारत को मजदूर व्यवस्था को लेकर सुधार करने की जरूरत है. लैंड बिल पर
विवाद नहीं होने देना चाहिए था. बीजेपी ने अपने सहयोगियों को भरोसे में
नहीं लिया. मोदी को विपक्ष को भरोसे में जरूर लेना चाहिए था. विपक्ष के
सपोर्ट के बिना कोई भी सुधार नहीं किया जा सकता. विपक्ष मोदी के खिलाफ
एकजुट हो गया है.
8. जरूरी पदों पर वैकेंसी को लेकर हालात भयावह हैं. समझ नहीं आता कि इन
पदों को भरा क्यों नहीं गया. इससे महत्वपूर्ण संगठनों को मुसीबत झेलनी पड़
रही है.
9. सरकार को अल्पसंख्यकों का डर दूर करना चाहिए. सरकार अल्पसंख्यकों को
भरोसा दिलाने में नाकाम रही है. ईसाई बहुत नाराज हैं. प्रधानमंत्री को सबसे
बात करनी चाहिए. मोदी को इन जटिल मुद्दों पर जरूर बोलना चाहिए. उनकी
चुप्पी से नैतिक सवाल खड़े होते हैं.
10. मोदी को मोनोग्राम वाला सूट नहीं पहनना चाहिए था. मैं समझ नहीं पाया कि
मोदी ने वो सूट क्यों स्वीकार किया. आप गांधी का नाम लेकर ऐसी चीजें नहीं
पहन सकते.
#FarmerSuicide: केंद्र नहीं माफ कर सकता किसानों का कर्ज: राजनाथ
2-05-15
केंद्रीय गृह मंत्री राजनाथ सिंह ने शुक्रवार को बांदा के रायफल
क्लब मैदान में आयोजित किसान पंचायत में कहा कि केंद्र सरकार किसानों का
कर्ज माफ नहीं कर सकती। यह राज्य सरकार के अधिकार क्षेत्र में है। किसान
बीमा योजना सही न होने से किसान खुदकुशी कर रहे हैं। उनके लिए आमदनी बीमा
योजना होनी चाहिए, ताकि फसल बर्बादी पर सुनिश्चित सहायता मिल सके। केंद्र
सरकार चार महीने के अंदर आमदनी बीमा योजना का प्रारूप तैयार कर लेगी। मध्य प्रदेश और हरियाणा के दौरे का हवाला देते हुए गृह मंत्री ने कहा कि
वहां किसानों की अच्छी मदद की जा रही है। मध्य प्रदेश सरकार ने किसानों का
ब्याज माफ कर दिया है। इशारों में कहा कि ऐसा उत्तर प्रदेश सरकार भी कर
सकती है। प्रधानमंत्री ने स्थिति का सही आकलन करने के लिए भेजा है।
बुन्देलखण्ड में किसानों को बहुत नुकसान झेलना पड़ा है। बुन्देलखण्ड से खुद
का नाता जोड़ते हुए बोले कि यहां बहुत काम किया है, यहां नहीं आता तो दौरा
अधूरा रह जाता। गृह मंत्री ने माना कि किसानों की फसल तबाह हो गई है। गेंहू
के दाने पतले, चने काले और अलसी की फसल एकदम खराब हो गई है। प्रदेश सरकार
को घेरा कि केंद्र सरकार ने हर तरह की फसल खरीदने के लिए शासनादेश जारी
किया था। प्रदेश सरकारों से कहा था कि घाटे की भरपाई केंद्र सरकार करेगी।
अफसोस इस बात का है कि राज्य सरकार ने इस दिशा में काम शुरू नहीं किया। वह
नए दर पर मुआवजा भी नहीं दे रही है। प्रदेश सरकार के नुमाइंदे किसानों की
फसल नहीं खरीद रहे। गृह मंत्री ने कहा कि केंद्र प्रदेश सरकार को 27000 करोड़ रुपए देता है।
पहली किस्त छह हजार करोड़ की आ चुकी है। किसानों की मुसीबत राजनीति से नहीं,
दोनों सरकारों के मिलकर काम करने से दूर होगी। कर्ज माफी मुद्दे पर बोले
कि केंद्र सरकार आंखों में धूल नहीं झोंकती। अगर वह कर्ज माफ करेगी तो पूरे
देश के किसानों का कर्ज माफ करना होगा। प्रदेश सरकार की चुटकी ली कि चुनाव
से पहले कर्ज माफ हो सकता है तो बाद में क्यों नहीं? किसान बीमा योजना
भाजपा सरकार लाई थी, लेकिन बाद की सरकारों ने उसका सही क्रियान्वयन नहीं
किया। नतीजा यह रहा कि किसान खुदकुशी करने को मजबूर हो गए। किसानों से अपील

बंधाए कि वह खुदकुशी न करें। बुन्देलखण्ड वीरों का इलाका है, यहां के किसान
वीर और गौरवशाली हैं।
#Bollywood #Humanity #Beinghuman: 'ऊपर खुदा है, नीचे सलमान खान' - 75 साल की बुजुर्ग महिला जायना
बेगम सलमान के पास मदद की प्रार्थना लेकर पहुंचीं..., और सलमान खान ने कश्मीर में फिल्म शूटिंग के दौरान बुजुर्ग परिवार को गोद लिया.
2 may 2015
सलमान खान ने कश्मीर में गोद लिया एक परिवार
श्रीनगर- कानूनी कार्रवाईयों और पेशियों में उलझे बॉलीवुड ऐक्टर सलमान खान ने कश्मीर में अपनी फिल्म बजरंगी भाई की शूटिंग के दौरान एक परिवार को गोद लिया है। इस परिवार के 6 सदस्यों का कहना है कि सलमान ने उनकी जिंदगी बदल दी है।
यह सब तब हुआ जब शूटिंग के दौरान परिवार की 75 साल की बुजुर्ग महिला जायना
बेगम सलमान के पास मदद की प्रार्थना लेकर पहुंचीं। जायना अपनी 40 साल की
बेटी दिलशादा जान और उसके 4 बच्चों के भविष्य को लेकर संघर्ष कर रही हैं।
दिलशादा अपने पति की बेवक्त हुई मौत के बाद अपनी मां जायना के घर में रह
रही हैं।
त्योहारों में मिलने वाली
खैरात पर यह परिवार किसी तरह अबतक जिंदा है। जैसे ही घाटी में खबर फैली कि
सलमान वहां शूटिंग के लिए आए हुए हैं, जायना की एक पड़ोसी ने तुरंत उन्हें
इस बारे में सूचना दी और सलमान से मदद की गुहार लगाने को कहा। एक दिन
शूटिंग के दौरान जायना वहां पहुंच गईं और सलमान के बॉडीगार्ड्स से सलमान से
मिलने की इच्छा जाहिर की। सलमान को जब इस बारे में पता चला तो उन्होंने
घंटों जायना के संघर्ष और उनकी समस्याओं के बारे में सुना। जायना ने सलमान
को 'एक मसीहा, एक मुक्तिदाता' कहा।
जायना की कहानी सुनने के बाद
सलमान ने उनके 18 साल के पौते गौहर अहमद को सेट पर काम करने के लिए रख लिया
ताकि वह वहां से कुछ रुपए कमाकर अपने घर ले जा सके। लोकेशन पर मौजूद एक
सूत्र ने बताया कि सलमान ने लड़के से कहा कि कश्मीर में शूटिंग खत्म होने
तक वह युनिट के साथ काम कर सकता है। शूटिंग के बाद वह उसे मुंबई ले जाएंगे
जहां वह उनके साथ काम कर सकता है। सूत्र ने बताया, 'सलमान ने उसे आश्वासन
दिया है कि अब उसके परिवार को किसी से कुछ चाहने की जरूरत नहीं पड़ेगी'।
गौहर ने सलमान के लिए कहा, 'ऊपर खुदा है, नीचे सलमान खान'।

Six years in the making and finally the fight has come. Undisputed
Pound For Pound King Floyd Mayweather Jr will finally face his long time
nemesis designated by the world as he takes on Manny Pacquiao at the
MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV on May 2nd. This will be the biggest fight in
boxing history when it comes to revenue, with both fighter’s expected
to bring in over $200 million combined in purses. Floyd Mayweather could
make up to $150 million while Manny Pacquiao could bring in over $100
million when it’s all said and done. The fans have waited a long time
for this.
In its purest form, the upcoming boxing match between Floyd
Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao is just that – a duel of fisticuffs
between two high-level athletes. However, like any big sporting event,
this battle represents so much more.
In 2008, Pacquiao defeated the aging legend Oscar De La Hoya in
devastating fashion to claim pound-for-pound supremacy in boxing. The
following year, Pacquiao quickly dispatched of Ricky Hatton in two
rounds. Mayweather, the erstwhile pound-for-pound king, then quickly
announced his comeback fight against Pacquiao’s career rival Juan Manuel
Marquez. Mayweather showed no signs of ring rust as he thoroughly
outboxed the technician Marquez. Since then, talks of a showdown between
Pacquiao and Mayweather have persisted. After years of false starts,
accusations and blaming, the big fight is finally upon us.
Under the bright lights of Las Vegas, an event that consists of
national pride, lasting legacies, bragging rights and a reported US$300
million purse will be taking place. On the grandest stage in the City of
Sin, there will be plenty of betting involved, too!
History:
Manny Pacquiao, coming from an impoverished
upbringing in the Philippine provinces, began his pro career at the
tender age of 16. After winning titles at flyweight and super
featherweight, he won the IBF super bantamweight title from Lehlohonolo
Ledwaba in 2001 (which was also his U.S. debut). Pacquiao rose to
overnight fame when he demolished the Marco Antonio Barrera in 2003 to
win the lineal featherweight championship. A huge underdog in the eyes
of experts and bookies, Pacquiao proved the doubters wrong by stopping
the Mexican legend in 11 rounds. Since then, Pacquiao’s hall-of-fame
resume includes victories over the likes of Erik Morales, Juan Manuel
Marquez, De La Hoya, Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito.
A controversial loss at the 1996 Olympic Games ended Floyd
Mayweather’s amateur career on a sour note. He turned professional
shortly after and since then has not tasted bitter defeat like he did
that day in Atlanta. His first title came at super featherweight against
Genaro Hernandez two years after his pro debut. Wins over the likes of
Zab Judah and Arturo Gatti made Mayweather a known commodity but it was
his fight against Oscar De La Hoya that thrust him into superstardom.
The highly-anticipated bout set records for pay-per-view buys and
revenue. A fight with Ricky Hatton followed, along with a brief
retirement until 2009. Nearly six years on and Mayweather has continued
his reign as the self-proclaimed “best ever”.
Keys To Victory: Floyd Mayweather Jr:
Floyd
Mayweather needs to do what Floyd Mayweather does…counter, time, and use
the the best defense in boxing to fluster the aggression of Manny
Pacquiao. Floyd knows what Manny is going to do. Pacquiao’s aggressive
style plays right into Mayweather’s hands. While Pacquiao does use
angle’s and feints to get in, he’s not as awkward as Marcos Maidana nor
as big as Miguel Cotto. Floyd is going to be able to throw that lead
right hand, and his straight jab, with a high connection rate because
Pacquiao’s defense isn’t great. This is the first time since Juan Manuel
Marquez that Floyd has fought someone smaller than him. Floyd’s pop
shot technique will work wonders in this fight. He’s going to have to
throw one-two punch combos and be gone as quick as he can. Every time
Pacquiao tries to put together a combination Floyd needs to get out of
the way, and land at least one punch while doing it. Floyd is a master
at this. As stated above though, Floyd cannot allow to much defense to
overtake his punch output. If he gets to lazy, lays on the ropes, and
doesn’t throw a lot of punches, even if Pacquiao isn’t landing he will
win rounds.
Keys To Victory: Manny Pacquiao:
Manny Pacquiao’s
aggression, speed, and angle’s are going to be the key to winning this
fight. He stands no chance standing in the middle of the ring with Floyd
Mayweather. Pacquiao likes to feint in on the attack, moving his head
side to side a bit, as he hunts down his opponent. This is going to be
key against Floyd. Pacquiao hasn’t knocked out a legit welterweight
fighter yet so I don’t expect him to knock out Floyd, who’s chin is
greatly underrated. He’s going to have to “steal” rounds. He must take
advantage of Floyd’s down times. When he gets Floyd to the ropes he’s
going to have to unleash havoc on him like Marcos Maidana did. Punch him
everywhere and anywhere. Continuing aggression is an absolute must.
Floyd’s lead right hand is going to give Pacquiao a huge problem but if
Pacquiao can land his lead left hand then he may be on to something. He
cannot afford to stop pushing forward at any time in this fight. If he
can steal rounds with a high punch volume he can win this fight in Las
Vegas, where judging hasn’t been favoring Floyd Mayweather lately.

How will the fight end: While Pacquiao was knocked out cold by
Marquez not too long ago, he has shown a generally steady chin
throughout his career. Mayweather was tagged hard by Shane Mosley in
their contest but recovered quickly. While it’s likely that both
fighters will be hurt at some point in the fight, a KO/TKO win is
unlikely. This one will more than likely be decided by the judges. International broadcasting
Along with promoters Top Rank and Mayweather Promotions, they have
filed a complaint with a federal court in Florida against boxinghd.net
and sportship.org, which had announced plans to live-stream the fight.
They’ve asked for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction, as well as, rather oddly, damages to compensate for expected
losses and legal costs.
According to TorrentFreak,
it’s the first time ever that a lawsuit has been filed over piracy that
hasn’t yet taken place – Minority Report, disappointingly, not having
attracted the same concern.
But the complaint claims that the two sites have form. “Plaintiffs
are informed and believe and on that basis allege that Defendants have a
long history of promoting infringing streams of copyrighted broadcasts
of boxing matches,” it reads, listing the May 4, 2013 fight between
Floyd Mayweather Jr and Robert Guerrero, as well as the July 12, 2014
fight between Erislandy Lara and Canelo Alvarez, as examples.
Floyd Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao pose for photos after a news conference in Los Angeles.
The stakes are high. Excitement about the contest – six years in the
planning – means it’s expected to raise more than $300 million. At least
half of this will come from pay-per-view sales at up to $100 a time –
in numbers expected to significantly exceed the 2.48 million that
watched the fight between Mayweather and Oscar De La Hoya in 2007.
And because it’s a live match, HBO and Showtime have a narrow window
of opportunity to collect. While people are still prepared to pay for,
say, Game of Thrones for quite a while after its initial screening, few
will have much interest in watching the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight once
it’s over and the result is known.
This makes it a potential gold mine for the streaming sites too, who have been advertising shamelessly.
“If you can’t afford to buy tickets then simply watch Mayweather vs
Pacquiao here,” read the ad on boxinghd.net. “We will provide with
nothing but the freshest and the most reliable high quality live links.”
But the threat appears to have worked – at least for now. Both
boxinghd.net and sportship.org have been taken offline, although
Showtime are still calling for a court order actually shutting the
sites down to make sure that they don’t magically reappear on Saturday.
And they are, of course, just two sites amongst many. In Showtime still have a massive job ahead if they’re to make a serious dent in piracy on the big night. Teams of experts will no doubt be hard
at it detecting pirate links and attempting to get them taken down.
There’s always the option of paying to watch at one of the many sports bars screening the fight.
However, entirely by design, many viewers around the world will be able
to watch the match in the comfort of their own homes for substantially
less than the $100 price in the US.
In the UK, for example, it’s available through Sky Box Office for just £19.99, or around $31. In Scandinavia, it’s around $60, and in
Spain just $13. In Pacquiao’s home country, the Philippines, the fight
will be broadcast live on both cable TV and free-to-air.
And in Mexico, TV companies Televisa and Azteca have also won the
right to show the fight for free; get a good deal on a flight,
therefore, and it might just be worth considering a weekend away…
Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather stood face-to-face for the first time in an official matter on Wednesday, when the two boxers held their
one and only press conference at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. A red
carpet was rolled out for the event that was available for over 600
credentialed media members in person and streamed for millions more on
the internet. While the fight was announced weeks ago, the press
conference served as the kickoff for what is being dubbed the Fight of
the Century.
Securing a ticket for the fight this May could be as difficult a feat
as what Pacquiao and Mayweather are facing in the ring. At the end of
Wednesday’s press conference, it was stated that an announcement would
come soon for an on sale date for tickets and prices will range from
$1,500 to $7,000 at face value. The two boxing superstars are set to
square off at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on May 2, but
overwhelming ticket demand has sent common fans and A-list celebrities
alike on a mad dash to get their hands on the minimal amount available. Less than 200 speculative tickets are currently listed on the secondary market, and the average price for Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao tickets on TiqIQ
is now $9,252.31. Get-in price isn’t much lighter on the eyes, either,
as the bout’s cheapest ticket is currently listed at $4,175. According to Hipmunk, hotels in Vegas for that weekend are up significantly as well, with the cheapest rooms all well above $150 per night.
Of course, celebrities have the opportunity to get past the turnstile
at MGM Grand for free, but they’ll have to pay a moral price. Multiple
reports have claimed that celebrities who are willing to endorse
specific company merchandise, in particular t-shirts donning logos and
names, will be provided with a ticket at no cost. Watching the fight as a
walking advertisement may be considered too submissive for many, but
with current ticket prices making it the most expensive event TiqIQ has
ever tracked, no act is too much if a free ticket is the endgame.
Earlier this week, the Daily News reported
that Ronda Rousey would be the only celebrity that would receive a
comped ticket to the prestigious fight. Bob Arum, a notable ticket
promoter and fan of Rousey’s, is offering the 28-year-old a free pass on
May 2 in the aftermath of UFC 184 last month, when Rousey pummeled Cat
Zingano in just 14 seconds at the Staples Center. In the days prior to
her fight, Rousey expressed interest in attending the Las Vegas fight,
going so far as to say that she would spend a considerable amount of her
fight earnings on tickets. She is one of the few – if not only – to
find a route around massive prices and promotional gestures.
Tickets will also be hard to come by due to the size of the venue.
The MGM Grand Garden Arena has a capacity of 16,800, while a fight of
this stature could easily sell out an arena of at least twice the size.
Mayweather, Jr. has fought his last 10 bouts at the MGM Grand Garden
Arena and brings an undefeated 47-0 record and 26 knockouts to Las Vegas
with him in May. Pacquiao has fought five of his last seven fights at
the MGM and has gone 57-5-2 with 38 knockouts in his career.
Negotiations between the two date as far back as 2009, but the two
boxers will officially knock gloves in Sin City on May 2.
