The former Chief Minister remarked on some of the questions asked of the Prime Minister saying it would be safe to assume that the British press was not "advised" about the questions to be asked.

Srinagar: Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today took on critics of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speech to British Parliamentarians asking "why cannot we take pride" in the excellent speech made by him.

"The Indian PM made an excellent speech to British MPs in their Parliament. Why can't we just take pride in that?" Mr Abdullah said in response to a tweet on a Twitter account which claims to be a handle for Congress volunteers.

"PM didn't address joint session of parliament, but a speech to MPs in the royal gallery. Yeh Jhoot bhi pakda gaya (this lie has also been caught)," the volunteer handle, @withCongress, had tweeted.

The former Chief Minister remarked on some of the questions asked of the Prime Minister saying it would be safe to assume that the British press was not "advised" about the questions to be asked.

"I think we can safely assume that the British press was not 'advised' about what to ask & what not to. Some very hard hitting questions!," he said.

However, he made it clear that second part of the question asked by the British newspaper 'Guardian' was "disrespectful" towards the Prime Minister.

"The second part of the @Guardian question to PM Modi was rather disrespectful to say the least," he said.

The Guardian reporter had asked Modi about protests on the streets of London saying he did not deserve the respect that would normally be accorded to the leader of the world's largest democracy given his record as Gujarat Chief Minister.

Karnataka Home Minister on Cubbon Park rape: Why should a woman play tennis at 9.30pm? : India, News - India Today

Karnataka Home Minister on Cubbon Park rape: Why a woman should go to play tennis at 9.30pm?
Blaming the 30-year-old woman who was raped in Bengaluru on Wednesday, G Parameshwara said, "Why should a woman go to play tennis at 9.30 in the night?"

A couple of months ago, the then Karnataka Home Minister KJ George had come out with a unique definition of gang rape. George, while referring to an incident where two men assaulted a 22-year-old call centre employee, had asked, "Shouldn't there be at least three or four people for it to be called gang rape?"

Now, George's predecessor G Parameshwara has reportedly issued a bizarre statement over the Cubbon Park rape incident. Blaming the 30-year-old victim, Parameshwara said, "Why should a woman go to play tennis at 9.30 in the night?"

Two security guards have been arrested for allegedly raping a 30-year-old woman inside Bengaluru's famous Cubbon Park on Wednesday night. According to reports, the woman had gone to the park to get club membership but was asked to come next day. The two men spotted her offered help in seeking the membership. They took the woman to an isolated spot inside the park and took turns to assault her.

However, Parameshwara has denied making any such statement and blamed the media of twisting his remark. "I didn't make that statement...I said the incident happened at 9.30 in the evening and police were quick enough to arrest those two persons. That's all I said...the media twisted my statement," Parameshwara said.

Meanwhile, Union Women and Child Development Minister Maneka Gandhi has demanded resignation of Karnataka home minister. "Not only is it insensitive, it doesn't send the right message. If he is not interested in his work. He should step down," Gandhi told reporters.

Karnataka home ministers and rape remarks

Speaking to some television channels over the October 3 incident wherein a woman employee of a BPO was gangraped by two men, George had said,"How is it a gangrape if two people rape? Shouldn't there be at least three or four people for it to be called gangrape?"

This was not for the first time that George issued a controversial remark. In November last year, he had accused the media of highlighting sexual assault stories for TRP ratings.

"What has happened to the media? You want only such news, you are showing only such news to increase your TRP. Show good news, it will be good," George, who was facing severe heat over increasing sexual assaults of minor girls in Bengaluru schools, had said.

Oh yeah India has failed you, it should have been a Hindu Rashtra... No?

Hindu Rashtra is something which RSS thinks or dreams of. Not all Hindus buy that idea.

This Hindu rastra will bring more doom to India than prosperity, considering the situations in other external parts of rastra as of today.

India IS a Hindu Rashtra. That was the foundation of partition. The values in the constitution stems from Hinduism.

Lalu got more votes then nitish ... PKs impact is doubtful ... its like amitshah in UP lokshabha ... jit me sab aachhe lagte he

PK got lucky because of Lalu with Niku. If Lalu would have not been as an ally, PK and Niku would have suffered a big nose cut for sure.

PK is also changing the way election management is done in India now. However, i have the feeling that this man has no ethics or principles. He is just a educated and more sophisticated version of Lalu to some extent.

He went to the extent of placing numerous rumors in MSM and print media against BJP. In the name of business, he is joining hands with JD(U), Lalu and now RG too. Yesterday i read, he met Arun Shourie too. His involvement in burst up of Shourie, BJP oldies, Shot gun episode cannot be ruled out. He seems to be growing big for his shoes.

That's why it is very important to have clauses on non disclosure and working for competitors. He knows the strengths and weakness and he will exploit for financial gains. It can cause bad consequences for BJP in future.

NEW DELHI: Home Minister Rajnath Singh today paid glowing tributes to the country's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, saying despite ideological differences, no one can doubt his intention to work for the welfare of people and nation building.

"There are many issues in which we have differences with Nehru. We have differences over his policies, but we can't doubt his intention to work for the welfare of people and nation building," he said at a function organised on the occasion of the 125th birth anniversary of Nehru.

Singh, a veteran BJP leader, said he may not see Nehru, a Congressman, in the "political mirror" but could always see him in the "national mirror".

The Home Minister said due to the immense contributions of leaders like Nehru, India today has a vibrant Parliament, an efficient bureaucracy, independent judiciary and fearless press.

"It was because of the contributions of leaders like Nehru, India has become the largest democracy in the world, India is now celebrating the success of democracy," he said.

Singh said it was under the stewardship of Nehru that the country had set up large industries in Bhilai, Rourkela, top institutions like IITs and IIM and nuclear plants.

"Even though Nehru had emphasised on industrialisation, he knew that agriculture was the key for the country. He had said 'I am all for industry and I am all for steel plants. But agriculture is far more important than industry'," he said quoting Nehru.

The Home Minister said Nehru always took the initiative for proper education and guidance for children as he had realised that India would be a developed country only when its children are properly educated.

Singh said Nehru was also one of the tallest world leaders of his time and under his bold leadership, the Non Aligned Movement was initiated.

"Nehru's policies on economy and science and technology were commendable. He only first launched the projects under the public-private partnership which are more relevant today," he said.
