Modi Is Not Our PM: Owaisi

MIM is a recognized state political party based in the Indian state of Telangana, with its head office in the old city of Hyderabad, which has its roots in the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen founded in 1927. Unlike most of the regional and national level parties, MIM party leaders ‘fight’ only for the well-being of Muslims, whereas no other party has such communal feelings. In their each and every speech, MIM leaders speak only about Muslims. If these leaders are here to fight for Muslims, then why there are no development works are happening in old city area for decades. Akbaruddin Owaisi faced criticism for making hate remarks on Narendra Modi and Hindus. Recently, his elder brother Asaduddin Owaisi made some notorious annotations. In a one-on-one debate between BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra and Asaduddin Owaisi on the topic of demonetization in a popular Hindi channel, the former left no stone unturned in exposing the latter’s communal designs. Owaisi claimed how most of the Muslim community still remains unbanked and that demonetization has caused severe inconvenience to Muslims. He even went on to say that ATM’s in Muslim-dominated areas weren’t fed enough money. He indirectly alleged that the Modi government hadn’t done anything for Muslims. Even after being pressurized Owaisi didn’t call Narendra Modi as his Prime Minister. He went on said, “Your Prime Minister…” On the other hand, Sambit spoke wisely and called Owaisi a leader of small stature because he talked only of Muslims. He said that no area was Muslim or Hindu and that all areas belonged to India. Owaisi was constantly quoting an RBI report, to which Sambit challenged him to show where the RBI had used the word ‘Muslim’. Sambit even said that if a Muslim leader speaks of Muslims it’s not an issue, but the moment a VHP leader speaks of Hindus people go crazy accusing them of imposing the Hindutva ideology. The most amazing of his counters was to Owaisi’s claims of Muslims not having been brought into the banking system. Sambit said that when banks or ATMs are to be opened in Muslim areas leaders like Owaisi shout that banking is un-Islamic and that Muslims should refrain from it! This video of debate between Sambit Patra and Asaduddin Owaisi is going viral in social media.

Pallam Raju Got HRD Job Kept for Rahul Gandhi

  New HRD minister M Pallam Raju received the biggest promotion in Sunday's ministerial reshuffle and the decision may have gone down to the wire before the mantle fell on the Kakinada MP. The choice before the Congress leadership was tough as HRD is a key ministry tasked with delivering big-ticket initiatives like right to education, reform of the school exam system and several scholarship schemes.   Given its political profile and an association with students and youth, the HRD ministry was subject to speculation that it could be the right office for Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to cut his teeth in government before the leader indicated he is not keen on joining it. Sources said Rahul's decision was taken after considerable deliberation and the argument that he gain experience in government had its obvious allure. However, the Congress leader is understood to have sealed the debate by taking the view that he would not be able to concentrate on party work if he became a minister. This did not end the dilemma with the portfolio being kept "open" just in case of a rethink. But since there was no change in plans, the search for a new minister became earnest as it was felt senior leader Kapil Sibal should shed HRD and concentrate fully on telecom. The need to infuse fresh thinking in the ministry has been agitating the Congress leadership for a while and Karnataka leader Veerappa Moily was seen as a likely choice.

Hurricane Sandy Slams East Coast

Hurricane Sandy News: Millions of people are without power in the U.S. northeast as the powerful post tropical storm Sandy pummels the region with hurricane force winds, rain, and a dangerous storm surge that has caused flooding in many coastal areas including parts of New York City. Sandy has caused mass disruption in coastal communities and beyond, as thousands of flights were cancelled, trains disrupted, roads closed and schools and offices shut down as the storm approached.     The storm was tracking inland around 11 p.m. ET, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said, but maximum sustained winds were still strong, clocking in around 120 km/h. On the forecast track, the centre of Sandy is expected to move across Pennsylvania during the next day or so  then move into western New York Tuesday night. At least 10 deaths in five states have been blamed on the storm, The Associated Press reported. A woman was also killed in Canada, when she was struck by flying debris in Toronto amid gusting winds. "Do not go outside. Conditions are extremely dangerous," New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said on Twitter as the storm lashed the city Monday night. "Please stay where you are until the storm passes." He urged people to stay off the roads and leave them clear for emergency workers, who have been dealing with an onslaught of 911 calls. "There are about 60 blocks in Manhattan now totally without power," CBC's David Common said from New York City late Monday night. "We understand that exists not only across New York City, but right up and down the northeast coast huge numbers of people without power." New York University hospital was struck by a power outage after losing backup power, the mayor said, noting that the city is working with the hospital to try to move people out. Media reports suggest as many as three million customers in the U.S. may be without electricity as Sandy downs lines and disrupts the distribution of power.
