karans interview with Shabnia Azmi---Crap

Hi,
I watched this interview absolute crap
There are are many point one can differ
But one or two i want to respond
She is unable to buy flat in Mumbai because Muslim
And also saif ali khan etc
1 instead of making sweeping allegation she must come out
with more details
2 Being a social activist (her claim) there are sufficient laws in the country against religious discrimination to proceed if you have facts
3 Why she is not saying about Mohalla politics?
Why isolate your self from the rest and then blame the rest for discrimination?
4 I know they will have 100 logic to do that,but at least let her come out with one positive act and take leadership of that
5 her remarks \"Khans Are Ruling Bollywood\" is that secular?
On top of all Karan was leading the interview in certain way
Very cheap

Making her debut in the club of 100 most powerful women in the world, Bahujan Samajwadi Party chief Mayawati has joined Congress President Sonia Gandhi in a list compiled by US magazine Forbes.

While Gandhi, also chairperson of the country\'s ruling UPA alliance, has slipped from her previous year\'s sixth rank to 21st this year, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati has made her debut at 59th.

The list also includes Indra Nooyi, the Indian-origin chief of global soft drink major PepsiCo, at third position, up from fifth last year, and Indian biotechnology firm Biocon\'s Chief Kiran Mazumdar Shaw at 99th.

The list has been topped by German chancellor Angela Merkel.

On Gandhi, the magazine said the Italian-born leader of India\'s most powerful political party has by now assumed the role of elder stateswoman.

\"Although she remains firmly at the head of the country\'s ruling party, a rising star, known by the single name Mayawati, is challenging Gandhi\'s position as the country\'s most powerful woman.\"

Mayawati-led BSP recently withdrew its outside support to Gandhi-led ruling combine in the country.

The magazine said that Mayawati has aligned herself with the nationalist Hindu BJP party and joined its members in vociferously opposing Gandhi\'s party\'s historic agreement with the US on nuclear cooperation.

The magazine described Mayawati as the one \"in the running to be prime minister, from her perch as chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, India\'s most populous state.\"

shabana had in the mid nineties done a goof up by talking ill about child labour and girls being kept as maid servants, little did she realize that she herself was a party to this activity, soon after the scribes found it she went back and said there is no chld labour in her house. one thing is for sure, Shabana tried talking ill about the muslim scholars, but was given a tit for tat response, so she is guarding her statements, but India being a democratic nation, anyone can say anything and be done with it.

ESPN Star Sports (ESS) and Ten Sports have been hauled up by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting for not following guidelines. Show cause notices have been sent to the two sports companies, which could be off air for a month if found guilty of “non-compliance”.

The Ministry’s notice to ESS for violating pricing guidelines, and not offering its channels to Direct-to-Home Service providers according to TDSAT prescribed 50 per cent of cable rates, was sent on Friday. It comes after ESPN failed to “reply in compliance” to the Telecom Regulatory Authority’s show cause notice against it.

The regulator had also dragged the broadcaster to court. However, the Metropolitan Magistrate’s court at Tees Hazari, New Delhi has not issued any summons yet. There has been no stay order either; the Ministry has thus decided to give the broadcaster 15 days’ time to reply.

“We have not received any official intimation as yet. We shall respond in an appropriate manner as and when we receive it,” said Mr R.C. Venkateish, Managing Director, ESPN Software. According to a source, the broadcaster believes that the TDSAT order (to which it wasn’t party) was an interim one. The tribunal had also directed the TRAI to fix pricing for DTH, which is yet to be done, he added.

A show cause notice has also been sent to Ten Sports mid last week for not sharing its feed of the on-going India-Sri Lanka One-Day series with public broadcaster Doordarshan. According to sources in the Ministry, Ten Sports is yet to respond. The channel declined to comment.

The Sports Broadcasting Signals (Mandatory sharing with Prasar Bharati) Bill, 2007 was brought in last March, after Nimbus, the telecast rights owners, refused to share its feed with Doordarshan unless the latter’s signals were encrypted. Post the Bill, all broadcasters or right owners of sports events have to share their telecast with Prasar Bharati of any sporting event that the Government decided was of national interest.

Sports broadcasters argue that acquisition and production costs make sports content more expensive.

When West Bengal chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee working hard to pursuade Ratan Tata not to pull out their \'Nano\' factory from Singur, a local employees\' body here wrote to Tata for setting up the project in Ratlam.

In a letter to Ratan Tata and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, \'Jayant Vitamins Limited Employees\' Sangarsh Samiti\' has invited Tata for setting up the \'Nano\' project in the state.

Ratlam, where round 300 acres of industrial land is lying unused, could be used for the ambitious project, the Samiti said.

\" The land is in government\'s posession at present and can easily be transferred to Tata for the Nano project,\" Convenor of the Samiti told reporters here today.

Ratlam is situated midway between the main Delhi-Mumbai rail track and is easily accessible. Moreover, the labour cost is also cheap here.

The samiti also requested the state chief minister to ensure that project like Nano should be shifted to Ratlam so that the problem of unemployment, which is prevailing in the region since the closure of many industries, could be addressed...

Andhra Pradesh chief minister YS Rajasekara Reddy has made a formal proposal for hosting the Tata’s Nano project in the state two days after Tata Motors chairman Ratan Tata threatened to walk out of West Bengal over continued violence in Singur, the present site of the project. The Andhra Pradesh government has indicated that land for the project is available on the outskirts of Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam, Kakinada or Naidupet near Guntur.

“We have drafted a proposal offering the Tata group land for setting up its car plant, ancillary units and other infrastructure facilities . The choice of location will be left to them and price is not an issue at all, considering the company’s stature” , said principal secretary (industries) Busi Sam Bob.

The state, which houses the maximum number of special economic zones (SEZs), does not foresee any problem in allocating over 800 acres of land to Ratan Tata if he decides to relocate the Nano project from Singur to Andhra Pradesh. Land acquisition for SEZs here has been free of any controversies by and large and the state plans to use this as its unique selling proposition.

But Andhra Pradesh, which used to be the second best investment destination after Gujarat, has now slipped to the fourth place, according to a recent survey by the RBI on corporate investments. The state aspires to regain its earlier position and is hence wooing companies like the Tata group to set up shop here.

In fact, it had earlier offered land to the Tata group for setting up its ultra low-cost car project here, though the car maker settled for West Bengal. Analysts say that the state government would make a lucrative offer, considering that other states are keen to host this project. “The Tata group will reportedly lose around Rs 500 crore if the project is reloacted. A good offer may help them offset at least some losses,” he said. ...

The impasse will be contained and the project at Singur plant will continue, Mr Nirupam Sen, West Bengal Industry Minister, said on the sidelines of a meeting with various Chambers of Commerce here on Friday. “I have already assured Mr Ratan Tata and I am also open to talk with anyone else on this,” he told reporters.

The government is open to discussions and is willing to explore proposals, only if they did not hamper the progress of industrialisation in the State and is well within the legal framework, Mr Sen said.

He emphasised that it was not possible to return the land acquired for setting up the ancillary units to landowners. “Once a land is acquired by the government for any public purpose, it should be utilised for that purpose alone. Whatever excess land remains unutilised should also be used for some other public purpose. In case this was not possible, the land should be put to public auction,” he said, quoting a Supreme Court ruling.

He also said that returning the land as demanded by the Trinamool Congress leader Ms Mamata Banerjee would hamper the project on the whole. Close to 290 acres has been allocated for setting up the ancillary units at the Tata small-car plant.

“It is very important to have the ancillary units in the close vicinity of the mother plant without which it will be very difficult for the company to offer Nano at such a competitive price,” he said.

On the issue of compensation, Mr Sen said a majority of the farmers (10,852 of them covering an area of 691.66 acres) have accepted the compensation while 2,251 landowners covering an area of 305.47 acres have not yet accepted it.

The government was working on some concrete rehabilitation policies, he said. “We are working on a rehabilitation package, but this cannot be subjective in nature and has to be market driven,” he said. He added: “The complete rehabilitation policy will be put in place within some days.”

Chambers’ reaction: Leading industry and trade bodies have expressed concern over the developments, stating that Tata Motors pulling out of West Bengal will hamper the future industrial development of the State. The development of the State could not suffer due to political differences, they said. They have suggested dialogue among all concerted to sort out all issues.

The Confederation of Indian Industry wanted an immediate solution through dialogue and any adverse development with regard to the project would irreversible hamper the State’s future industrialisation and could take itback to an age of industrial vacuum, its Director General, Mr Chandrajit Banerjee, said in a statement.

The Assocham President, Mr Sajjan Jindal, said that if Tatas were allowed to pull out of their Singur project it would completely ruin industrial progress in the State. The Tatas pulling out would send wrong signals to investors and take the State back to the 1970s when West Bengal witnessed large exodus of industrial units.

The FICCI has appealed to the West Bengal Government and Opposition leaders in the State to sit across the table and work out a solution. It emphasised that no industry should be caught in the cross fire of the local political process and come to such a point that a project might have to be abandoned. This would create problems for the State in attracting investments, it said in a release -BL.
