Anna hazare to Hunger stike again - A beginning

Govt’s msg, “If u raise ur voice against corruption, we will crush u” Protest with Anna Hazare. Organize group fasts n prayers. 8 June 9 am. Pl fwd2all

I got this text message from India against Corruption movement today evening. After that only I came to know that Anna is going to fast again on June 8^th near Raj Bhavan, New Delhi. I was literally surprised first as soon as seeing this message. The reason is, I trusted my Indian Government. Yes, from heart I trusted my country’s government and I really hoped that they will take steps against corruption after Anna Hazare’s first hunger strike stint and Baba Ramdev’s fasting.

After the midnight crackdown of Ramdev’s fast Anna hazare had raised his concerns towards Indian Democracy and the government’s inhuman behavior. Anna also added that he and other members of Lokpal drafting panel will boycott June 6 meeting with government. He also warned the government that if it does not take a lesson, a bigger agitation will be launched.

"What the government has done is a blot on democracy. There was no need for the Government to supress this movement and attack those protesting at midnight. It was not right to lathicharge the people at midnight Small children and women were brutally assaulted. The entire country should stand up as one and protest against this brutal and inhuman action," said Hazare.

So, the result is Anna Hazare is going to launch his hunger strike battle against corruption tomorrow (June 8) at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi. This time much more people are expected to support Anna Hazare than the number of people supported for his previous hunger strike for the cause. I hope at least this time a solution will be born for drafting the Lokpal Bill. After all this is every ordinary Indian’s dream.

Argentina Vs Uruguay - Messi to Play in Kolkata

It is a great news for football-crazy fans kolkatta as well all the indian football fans as Argentine superstar Lionel Messi and his teammates are playing a FIFA official international friendly match against Venezuela at Salt Lake's Yuba Bharati Krirangan on September 2.

After several rounds of rumour about this match, the official confirmation came on Monday when Celebrity Management Group along with the state government, All India Football Federation and Indian Football Association announced this surprise at a press conference.

"The Argentina Football Association had indeed signed a contract to bring in the full-strength squad including Messi and Carlos Tevez among others. So the contract guarantees their participation," said Bhaswar Goswami of CMG. The city-based sports management firm that had earlier brought football legend Diego Maradona in 2008 would also organise another international friendly match between Argentina and Nigeria in Dhaka on September 6.

"We were given the match in condition that we have to buy another. We did not think twice and bought both the matches just to make Messi play in Kolkata," Goswami said. The Barcelona star forward and winner of the FIFA Ballon d'Or award was recently instrumental in his club's Champions League win.

Briefing about the itinerary, Goswami said Messi and Co. would stay here for four days, beginning August 30. "We are also planning several other events which will be announced later. We are thinking of a minimum ticket price of Rs 1000 (approx $20), a nominal price comparing to the ticket prices in other international friendlies."

"Those who could not afford to make the match, we would give them another chance for both the teams practice sessions the tickets of which would be at a cheaper price," Goswami added. West Bengal sports minister Madan Mitra said he is getting full support from the chief minister to clean up the 'mess' in the stadium where Messi is going to play.

"The stadium is completely in a mess. The garbage there has been piled up for 34 years. We are leaving no stone unturned to make the stadium international match-worthy," he said.

"It's difficult to give YBK a complete facelift in such a short period. Our list of priorities includes better toilets, changing rooms and passage ways. We will also bring a generator from a Chennai firm to avoid the frequent blackouts in the stadium," Mitra said.

All India Football Federation vice-president Subrata Dutta said that the match would be a turning point in India's football history. "This would inspire others to organise more such matches. It's going to be a historical day," Dutta said.

In the same vein, IFA secretary Utpal Ganguli said, "I don't think it would improve our standard of the game but surely it would popularise the sport. I am sure it would help more and more people turning away from EPL and other leagues (IPL)". The match is scheduled to begin from 7pm.
