Putin signs treaty, adds Crimea to map of Russia

Earlier on Tuesday, with a sweep of his pen, the Russian president added Crimea to the map of Russia today, describing the move as correcting past injustice and responding to what he called Western encroachment upon Russia's vital interests.

in an emotional 40-minute speech televised live from the Kremlin, Putin said "in people's hearts and minds, Crimea has always been an integral part of Russia."

He dismissed western criticism of Sunday's Crimean referendum in which residents of the strategic Black Sea peninsula overwhelmingly backed breaking off from Ukraine and joining Russia as a manifestation of the West's double standards.

However, the Russian leader insisted his nation has no intention to invade other regions of Ukraine, saying "we don't want a division of Ukraine, we don't need that."

Putin referred to Ukraine as a state born out of an illegal secession from the Soviet Union. He also argued that today's Ukraine includes "regions of Russia's historic south" and was created on a whim by the Bolsheviks.

Loved your tag line below, Parul ji.

After watching yesterday's headline in TOI about Pappu calling Court as immature, I am even more assured.

Thank you - you can also make it yours, infact all the BJP- NaMo Supporters can!

All perpetrators of 2002 are behind bars. However, Congress does not stop attacking Modi for that. 3 times as many people were killed in 1984 and no one is in jail. In no riots before or after 2002 the CM had to undergo the type of scrutiny that Modi did. Despite such scrutiny and getting a clean chit from Supreme Court Modi is still attacked by Congress and other Sickular Parties. Infact, this is the only counter all the political parties have against him!

Rahul Gandhi is the is still a kid, once he'll grow up, he'll realise his stupidity and start understand things. Enjoy, this epic from Rahul Gandhi!
