India Got Chance To Blame Pakistan
Three bombs rocked crowded districts of Mumbai during rush hour on Wednesday, killing at least 21 people and injuring 113 others. India has remained jittery about the threat of militant strikes, especially since the November 2008 attacks which killed 166 people.
At least 113 people were wounded on Wednesday and preliminary reports showed the death toll had risen to 21 in the "terror attacks" centred mainly on Mumbai's jewellery trading centres, a senior government official said."This is another attack on the heart of India, heart of Mumbai. We will fully meet challenge, we are much better prepared than 26/11," Prithviraj Chavan, the state's chief minister, told a TV channel, referring to the 2008 attacks.
Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram also said "terrorists" were to blame. "The blast occurred at about 6.45 pm (1315 GMT) within minutes of each other. Therefore, we infer that this was a coordinated attack by terrorists," Chidambaram told reporters.
At least one car and a motorbike were used in the coordinated attacks believed to have used improvised explosive devices, officials said. "This tactic is much more in line with those used by more amateurish groups such as the Indian Mujahideen who have targeted crowded urban areas before," Stratfor, a strategic affair think tank, said in a statement.
Television images showed blaring ambulances carrying away the bloodied people at one of the attack sites. Other images showed bodies lying among glass and metal debris in narrow streets. At the Dadar area in central Mumbai, one of the explosions left car windows shattered and uprooted electric poles. Police used sniffer dogs to look for clues while the public helped paramedics carry away some of the injured.
JEWELLERY MARKETS The biggest blast occurred at the Opera House, once housing operas and now an area selling diamond jewellery and a hub for diamond traders in the city.
"We came outside, and the area was filled with black smoke. There were bodies lying all over the street, there was lots of blood... We saw many bodies missing arms and missing legs," said Aagam Doshi, a local merchant and witness said. "We began helping get the wounded on to motorcycles of diamond merchants...There were diamonds lying on the road everywhere."
Another blast, also in south Mumbai, was at the Zaveri Bazaar, India's largest bullion market. The third blast was at Dadar, in the centre of the city, near the main railway tracks."When I heard of the blast, I tried to call because I knew he was in Dadar. Next thing I know someone picked up the phone and said he was admitted to KEM (hospital) so I came here," said Rinku Vishwakarma, whose husband carpenter was injured in the Dadar blast. "I have no idea how badly he is injured. I'm looking frantically for someone to help.
"OBAMA OFFERS HELP U.S. President Barack Obama strongly condemned the attacks and offered support to bring the perpetrators to justice. Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani swiftly condemned Wednesday's blasts in a statement.
The home ministry ordered security heightened across the country.
India has got a chance to blame Pakistan like previous Mumbai attacks One of the official of home ministry has already blamed Lashkar e Tayaba and held it responsible that is indirect blame on Pakistan with in half an hour of bthe blasts. While, our coward authorities do not dare to name the culprit who is the enemy known to every Pakistani. This is the fear of USA too. It may have been conspiracy of India and USA to encircle Pakistan , gather forces on eastern border and punishe Pakistan for its recent disobedience. .

Aamir's Delhi Belly Led To Protests Against Its Dialogue And Content
Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan's new film has been a hit at the box office but has also led to protests and even a court case against its dialogue and content, which critics say is vulgar and offensive. The comedy "Delhi Belly", starring the actor-producer-director's nephew Imran Khan, revolves around three, scruffy, debt-ridden room-mates who unwittingly fall into a life of crime with a mafia boss.
The film, which is mainly in English with a profanity-peppered dialogue and toilet humor, had by Monday taken a total of 487.5 million rupees ($10.9 million) since it opened on July. But with India as a whole still a conservative place, not everyone is happy. On Monday protesters stormed a cinema in the western city of Kolhapur, forcing a screening of the film to be canceled.
Another theatre was attacked in the central city of Indore following action by a right-wing Hindu organization that called for the movie to be banned for having too much abusive and vulgar language. Even in India's more liberal entertainment capital, Mumbai, a complaint was filed in court, accusing Aamir Khan, who has a cameo role, of showing "obscene" acts and outraging and insulting religion or religious beliefs.
Industry analysts, however, have said the film has aroused public interest as it was a reflection of young people in modern, urban India.

Corruption In Pakistan Touches The Figure Of Rs. 3000 Billion----Transparency
While Pakistan has greatly compromised its independence for the sake of a few billion dollars of foreign aid and corruption is rising at an alarming rate, the Transparency International has revealed that during the last three years of PPP rule, the menace has cost the nation more than Rs3,000 billion only in selected areas. Transparency International Pakistan (TIP) Advisory Committee chairman Adil Gilani told The the reporters on Tuesday that these corruption figures do not include the loot and plunder of the national wealth in the mega scandals like Pakistan Steel Mills scam, NICL plunder, Haj swindle, rental power plants fraud and many more.
The trends of surveys and studies conducted by the Transparency International Pakistan show gradual increase in corruption in Pakistan during the last three years, Gilani said and added this fact could be confirmed from the country’s ranking in TI Corruption Perception Index. “Conservative figure for last three years are more than a trillion rupees per annum with 15-20 percent annual increase,” Gilani said. He said that the height of corruption in Pakistan during the last three years could be judged from its position sliding down from 47th in 2008 to 42nd in 2009 and 34th in 2010.
The TIP executive explained that in 2009, the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) corruption was at least Rs500 billion as per the statement of the then finance minister Shaukat Tareen whereas the state enterprises like PIA, Wapda, Pakistan Steel Mills and Railways eat up Rs300 billion of taxpayers. In 2009, he explained that the TIP reported the increase in corruption in the last three years by 400 percent and quoted the figure of Rs195 billion in 2009, which increased to Rs225 billion in 2010 as the money that went in petty corruption. The total corruption in the above three categories alone, according to Gilani, makes the figure of corrupted money over Rs3,000 billion during the last three years.
Gilani clarified that these huge corruption figures do not include the massive corruption in the land department and government procurements in entities like National Highway Authority, Oil and Gas Development Corporation Limited, Sui Southern Gas Pipelines Limited, Sui Northern Gas Pipeline Limited, Karachi Port Trust, Port Qasim Authority, Civil Aviation Authority, National Insurance Corporation Limited, Pepco, Erra, SVBP, NBP, CDA, Ministry of Defence, Defence Housing Authority, National Logistics Cell, PSO, PNSC, Cantonment Boards, etc. Like most political parties, independent media, civil society and other stakeholders, the Transparency International’s local chief too is unsatisfied with the government efforts to curb corruption. There is a general perception that the government, instead of checking corruption and taking measures to curb this menace, is protecting the corrupt while the anti-corruption apparatus like the FIA and National Accountability Bureau have been disfigured by the government to the advantage of the corrupt and plunderers of national wealth.
Leading economists and financial experts are of the firm view that if corruption is effectively checked in Pakistan, the country would not require any foreign aid, including from the US. Only recently Washington, which is fully aware of Islamabad’s financial mismanagement, has stopped $800 million in defense aid as it expects from Pakistan to do more. It is believed that Pakistan could not get itself free from foreign pressures and dictate unless it generates enough resources to meet its expenses for which corruption-free society is considered a must. However, the PPP government did not show any interest during the last three years to root out corruption and take measures, which are essential to stabilize the country’s economy.
In the present scenario, media and superior judiciary in general and the Supreme Court in particular are fighting against corruption but the government, instead of supporting them, violates the apex court’s order, uses every trick to avoid fair investigations and prosecution in corruption cases and puts all possible pressures on sections of independent media that are not siding with the rulers’ corruption and misrule.
