Shah Rukh Khan speaks for the first time about the Mumbai tragedy

 

Shah Rukh Khan has spoken for the first time about his thoughts on the Mumbai atrocities. Speaking exclusively to Raj and Pablo for this Saturday’s (6 December) ‘Love Bollywood’ Show on BBC Asian Network, Shah Rukh speaks openly about why he hasn’t talked about the attacks till now as well as his views on what the younger generation of Muslims should be concentrating on.

Shah Rukh said “I’ve tried to keep away from commenting on this as there are no words to express a situation like this because our feelings are mixed with anger, disbelief and sadness.”

In light of the horrific attacks, Shah Rukh went on to give his thoughts on religion and the younger Muslim generation. “Being Muslim myself, I believe youngsters need to understand Islam and respect the religion in the right way. It’s such a huge waste and my appeal to all in these times and in recent years is that please can we run what we want in terms of politics, government, jobs and teaching our children with the prime motive of taking communalism out of it. I think no agenda should be attached to any kind of religion.”

Shah Rukh spoke passionately about his views on what he feels should be the only religion the nations’ children should follow – ‘work’; he goes on to say, “The religion our children are born with should be something they practice as a discipline and work should be developed as the new religion.”

One DJS member got caught by police

Sources said that one DJS member chaseb by police and catched him,who has escaped after firing.But Police Comissioner said “nobody has caught till now by us”.

He said they started firing on Conter Intelligence members and escaped away.The shop owner,where firing taken place,is under police interrogation now.

i wonder if police are now being attacked far more… everyday we hear of the death of officers like mr karkare, ashok kamte and others, who die by the motivated mujahideen. some officers are beaten by the public venting their anger on them. they are beaten because they pick up people for breaking the law and the like. i even wonder if they are properly dressed. i recently saw a constable wearing kolhapuri chappals. god forbid they are chasing someone and there is alive wire, they would be shocked on the job…as electricity travels fastest through these footwear. ideally they shoudl wear rubber chappals so that they are safe even if overhead wires break, or they accidentally step ona wet live wire. i firmly feel that superiors should look into increased violence on the police force dress them appropriately for duty and look after them if they receive burns or wounds while on duty. they require good nurses to look after them and inject them with proper medicines.

Slapped by teacher, student dies of head injury

 

248_child_killed-capital_pu1An eight-year-old has died after she fell unconscious on being allegedly slapped by the school teacher.

 

The alleged death of Iftesham, a school student in Kolkata has caused widespread outrage.

 

The school says that it has taken action against the teacher who has been accused of slapping the child and causing her death.

 

Angry parents outside the Vidya Bharati School in Kolkata demand answers. The death of the girl has brought them out on to the streets. They demand that the teacher, Anita Das, be punished.

 

“We also want punishment for the errant teacher. She has brought disgrace not only to our school but also to the entire teaching community,” said Anjana Mallick, the Principal of Bidya Bharati School.

 

Doctors say Iftesham sustained a serious head injury from the slap. Although a blood clot in her brain was removed it, it was too late to save the little girl.

 

One of the child’s classmate said, “Our Yoga teacher slapped Iftesham and then she fainted. Two of our teachers immediately removed her from class. They later told us that Iftesham had to be admitted in hospital.”

 

The school has now terminated the accused teacher’s contract. But the victim’s mother is inconsolable.

 

Nazreen Chowdhury, Iftesham’s mother said, “I want to meet the teacher and ask her what wrong could my child have done that she had to be killed.”

 

Police have registered a case of death due to negligence against the yoga teacher. She is absconding and is yet to be arrested.
