Kaminey row: Underworld lodged FIR against Producer Vishal Bhardwaj
‘‘There are scenes in the film in which the gangsters are shown as merciless killers. They have also portrayed underworld as a threat to law and order and manipulators of corrupt cops. This desecrates our image and discourages young people wanting to join us,’’ said Kallu Zinga, sharp shooter.
Police said Underworld Sena, had lodged an FIR, alleging profanity. ‘‘We have registered a case against the producer for hurting sentiments of gangsters across India and Dubai,’’ said Mumbai inspector Derrick Lobo.

First ouster in ‘Iss Chintan Baithak Se Muze Bachao’
Simla: The mega hit reality show ‘Iss Chintan Baithak Se Muze Bachao’ (ICBSMB) saw its first causality yesterday. The participants unanimously voted out Jaswant Singh, a veteran BJP leader and MP. Mr. Singh became unpopular when he inadvertently sang ‘Jinnah tere bina kya jina’, a popular Pakistani anthem during the Antakshari competition. Some critics are calling Jaswant Singh’s ouster as a gimmick to increase TRP. If it is true then the move is certainly working. According to Neilson rating agency, about 50% young adults watched the episode on Monday. The only show that competed for eyeballs during the same time was 'Lingerie Walk' on Fashion TV.
ICBSMB was conceived by the cultural wing of Bharatiya Janata Party. According to show’s promotional material, last person standing will be chosen as the successor to current party Chief LK Advani. Incidentally, Mr. Advani is also participating in the show and doing his best to remain in the game.
ICBSMB consists of part games and part brainstorming sessions. BJP president Rajnath Singh seems to be overall favorite after winning five meter dash on crutches and bladder control competition. Narendra Modi has become another hot favorite after he gave foot massage to several senior party leaders.
The show had its awkward moments too. During the Vegetable Cutting team competition, BJP spokesperson Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi refused to go near to his partner Varun Gandhi who was wielding a large knife.
According to a BJP insider, Vasundhara Raje may end her rebellion against the party’s directive to quit as leader of the opposition in the Rajasthan Assembly in exchange wild card entry to the show.
There is lot more excitement coming in the future episodes of ‘Iss Chintan Baithak Se Muze Bachao’. So keep your eyes glued to the idiot box.

Truck driver honoured
Delhi, India - Truck driver Deewan Singh accepted ‘Trucker of the Year’ award by Heavy and Commercial Vehicles Association for keeping his truck in the slow lane during the entire drive between Delhi and Jaipur. “Having driven for last 17 years, one gets habituated driving in the fast lane with speeds between 20-30kmh” Deewan said while lovingly displaying his trophy, a crankshaft mounted on a wooden replica of human head. “On Tuesday morning when I decided to keep the truck in slow lane for the 180 KM journey I knew it was not going to be an easy task. How can one remain motivated without fist wrenches and abusive comments from smaller vehicle drivers trying to desperately overtake?” Deewan mentioned, and added that he also missed the traffic jams which crawl behind his truck.
