Bhutto's body flown home, Pakistan in crisis

BREAKING NEWS
By Faisal Aziz



The body of opposition leader Benazir Bhutto arrived in her family village for burial on Friday, hours after her assassination plunged nuclear-armed Pakistan into one of the worst crises in its 60-year history.

Her killing on Thursday after an election rally in the city of Rawalpindi triggered a wave of violence, especially in her native Sindh province.

It stoked fears that a January 8 election meant to return Pakistan to civilian rule could be put off, although caretaker Prime Minister Mohammadmian Soomro said on Friday there was no change in timing for now.

World leaders urged Pakistan not to be deflected from a course toward democracy, as fears of instability in a region racked by Islamist militancy roiled markets on Friday and triggered a flight to less risky assets such as bonds and gold.

"Unrest in Pakistan is eroding the market sentiment dramatically as Pakistan, unlike North Korea or Iran, is known to really have nuclear weapons," said Koichi Ogawa, chief portfolio manager at Daiwa SB Investments.

Thousands of mourners thronged Bhutto's ancestral home as the former prime minister's body arrived aboard a military aircraft, accompanied by husband Asif Ali Zardari and their three children.

People cried and wailed as Bhutto's coffin was taken by ambulance to her family home in Sindh's Larkana district.

Sex for favour: Actor gets bail, producer assaulted

BLOG BUREAU

Noted Marathi actor Ramesh Bhatkar secured bail on Wednesday hours after an aspiring actress accused him and film producer Ravi Naidu of attempted rape in a complaint filed with the Pune Police.

Bhatkar's co-accused Naidu was manhandled by activists of the Republican Party of India (RPI) when he reached the Pune sessions court in connection with the case. The girl's family had filed the complaint on Tuesday, naming Bhatkar, Naidu and a former city corporator in the case. The family alleged that the girl was raped repeatedly in the last year.

The uncle and aunt of the girl — Dilip and Jayashree — too have been named in the case as they were the ones who had allegedly introduced the aspiring actress to Naidu.

The court granted interim bail to all the five accused till January 6.

While Naidu is alleged to have repeatedly raped the 17-year-old victim over the past few months, Bhatkar has been accused of seeking sexual favours from her last August.

The girl, who was trying for a break in the Marathi film industry, claims in her complaint that Bhatkar sought sexual favours from her at various locations in August. The girl also claims that the actor had threatened her not to complain against him.

The girl has also accused him of physically assaulting her when she had resisted his sexual advances.

The Marathi Film Federation has, meanwhile, said it will launch an independent probe into the allegations.

According to the complaint, after the girl's SSE (10th Standard) examination, she was allegedly taken to Ravi Naidu's bungalow by her uncle and aunt with the assurance that Naidu would cast her in a Marathi movie. It was then that Naidu allegedly tried to rape her.

The police registered an FIR and have already detained three of the accused in the case. The girl has been sent for medical examination.

60 ft long cake palace costs Rs 10 lakh

SUBMITTED BY : DEEPA BALAKRISHNAN (CNN)

The annual cake show featured a cake that's 60 feet long. It is all edible, however, you might not want to eat this work of art.

About 25 men put this sugary palace model together in about three months. This is the center of attraction at the annual Nilgiris cake show where the Bangalore Palace stands 60 feet long and 20 feet wide, costing nearly Rs 10 lakh and, of course, is entirely edible. And the man who's behind it is Nilgiris director C Ramachandran.

“It started as a hobby from school days. I went to Europe and in Belgium I saw small models. I came back and tried to build the Eiffel tower and small exhibits we kept in our department store,” says C Ramachandran.

That passion with cake and batter started off this exhibition in 1969. And it draws the crowds in hordes, some here to see if the Santa Villa's for real, others to see the delicately-done floral arrangements and the classy Veena.

When the expo ends on 31st of December, these will be given away to winners of a lucky draw.

Some people present in the exhibition said that they liked the Bangalore palace the best and one person wanted to eat it all. Some said it was cute and some said that it was really huge and very difficult to have done it.

It's been Bangalore's most famous tradition for over 30 years to have a cake show every Christmas but we hadn't seen one over the last couple of years because of problems within the company Nilgiris.

School de-stresses students with laughter therapy

CONTRIBUTED BY: Satyarth Prakash Nayak
It is said that laughter is the best medicine and Delhi Public School, Greater Noida, is certainly believing in the adage.

Worried about problems of stress and aggression among students, the school organised a Laughter Session in which over 2000 students took part.

Says Laughter Guru Jiten Kohi, “Earlier kids laughed 300-400 times a day. Today, they have stopped laughing.”

DPS (Greater Noida) Principal Kamini Bhasin adds, “Because of ambitions, parents’ and teachers’ pressure, kids today face lot of stress and don’t know how to relieve it.0

But laughter can help cut down stress.

Jiten Kohi explains: “Laughter releases oxygen and soothes the mind.”

Last Tuesday's shooting in a Gurgaon school brought the issue of child aggression and bullying in schools into tragic focus. Students of DPS agreed that these are the realities they have to face on a daily basis.

“There is a lot of aggression today,” said one teenager, while another child added, “Seniors come and bully us, we have to call our parents.”

“Though techniques like this can help children deal with stress, they can't be stand-alone measures but can only a healthy system of communication. Parents would also need to step in and do their bit,” says psychiatrist Sameer Malhotra.

With the Gurgaon incident still fresh, schools are taking such initiatives for physical and mental well-being of kids to infuse them with some modicum of positive energy which is so crucial in present times.

US campus killings: Cops looking for 3 'black' men

BREAKING NEWS

New York: The New York police on Saturday morning said they were looking for three or four young “black” males in connection with the murder of two Indian doctoral students in Louisiana State University campus at Baton Rouge on Friday night.

Thirty-one-year-old Chandrasekhar Reddy Komma and 33-year-old Kiran Kumar Allam were found shot dead in the latter’s apartment.

Sgt Don Kelly of Baton Rouge police department said the police were looking for clues on the three men who were seen hurriedly leaving the vicinity of the apartment where the murders took place.

"The men got into a small to mid-size four-door car, possibly occupied by a fourth person (driver)," he said.

The car, he said, was seen leaving the complex with its headlights turned out.

Meanwhile, a task force comprising University Police Department, the Baton Rouge Police Department and the East Baton Parish Sheriff's Office has been formed to carry out the investigations.

LSU records show both Allam and Komma hailed from Andhra Pradesh. While Allam, who was from Hyderabad was pursuing a doctoral degree in chemistry, Komma belonged to Kurnool and was studying biology.

The LSU Foundation also announced the setting up of Komma & Allam Support Fund to assist the students' families.

The double murder came to light when Allam's pregnant wife found the bodies and made a distress call to the university authorities, said Swati Badgi K Rao, Cultural Secretary of Indian Students' Association in the US. Allam was the son of noted Telugu author Allam Rajaiah.

Each was shot in the head once and while Komma’s body was found bound by a computer cable, Allam's body was found near the apartment door.

Hrithik off to Singapore for knee treatment

Bureau Report

Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan, who had been neglecting his injured knee to complete work on Ashutosh Gowarikar's "Jodhaa-Akbar", is leaving for Singapore to recuperate.

The trouble began when he did some daring stunts in "Krrish" and "Dhoom 2". Hrithik had torn the ligament in his right knee and continued working despite the tremendous pain.

He completed the painstaking training, travelling and shooting required for "Jodhaa-Akbar", which releases next month.

To add to it, the "Jodhaa-Akbar" shoot got extended and treatment for his knee took a backseat again.

Now the pain cannot be wished away any longer. And it has become essential for the actor to put all work on the back burner and go abroad for complete treatment and rest.

"While working towards fulfilling my commitments to all my work - ads and film, I did not care much about my knee pain and have neglected my doctor's advice to not put any stress on it and take complete rest," said Hrithik in a press release.

He is off to Singapore to take a six-week break and recuperate fully.

"I am giving my health prior importance now, so that none of my further commitments suffer."

He could be back in time for the premiere of "Jodhaa-Akbar".

CASTING COUCH FOR MALE MODELS

BLOG BUREAU

Fashion designer Rohit Verma has been receiving threatening calls from model Amit Roy. According to Rohit, Amit Roy is threatening him with abusive messages because he did not give Rohit any work. On December 3, Rohit filed a NC (Non-Cognisable Offence) at the Oshiwara police station. Rohit met Amit five years ago. “Since then, he calls me about thrice a month and says that I should give him work. But I don't have any work for him. My driver looks better than him.” Explaining what drove him to the cops, Rohit says, “On Monday night, Amit lost it. He called me to say that I supplied gigolos. Then he abused me in a very derogatory manner. I hung up, but he kept calling. Finally, my sister Swati received the call. He called her a prostitute.” And then? “Then he told me that if I don't give him work, he will go public accusing me that I had asked him to 'compromise'. That was the limit. My sister and I decided to ask for police intervention,” Rohit further says. When contacted, Amit however had a different story to tell. He admitted that he asked Rohit for work. “But he kept dilly-dallying and never gave me any work. Then once he told me that I should become a gigolo and he will send me to some women looking for sex.” Amit admits that he sent threatening, abusive messages to Rohit. “But I was driven to the edge. This is simply because six months ago, Rohit forced me to have sex with him. I complied, because he then promised that he would help my career. However, when I realised that he had fooled me, I lost my patience.” Rohit shoots back, “I swear that I never had sex with Amit Roy. Amit mujhe badnam karna chahta hai.”

Turbulence for 72 airhostesses, put under probe

PROVIDED BY: KARAN KAWSHIK (CNN)

The Mumbai police is keeping a watch on 72 airhostesses of various airlines on suspicion that they are involved in human trafficking.

The police started a wider probe after arresting Aliya Abbas Rizvi, a 24-year-old airhostess with Jet Airways, for allegedly forging a marriage certificate and claiming in her visa application that businessman Rajesh Trivedi was her husband—a ploy to take him to the US.

The couple was caught before they could fly the coop, but Aliyah may just be the tip of an immigration iceberg. “We have have got a list of 72 airhostess and we are scrutinising their movements,” says Rakesh Maria, Joint Commissioner of Police, Crime.

Three men who allegedly paid Trivedi Rs 20 lakh to Trivedi for taking them to the US have been arrested too. Rizvi allegedly got Rs 1.8 lakh as commission from this money. This incident follows a slew of other cases of human trafficking.

In November, an Army jawan Suresh Babu was caught forging official passports. He allegdly sold them for 50,000 rupees each. The Central Bureau of Investigation is probing that case.In April, BJP MP Babubhai Katara was arrested at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi on charges of illegally taking a woman to Canada on his wife's passport. Katara is currently in jail.

Kirsten hesitant to take up job

BLOG BUREAU

The Indian coach saga seems to be a never ending one and Gary Kirsten is threatening to add another chapter to it.

It is learnt that the former South African opener is not sure whether to take up the job offered to him because he wants to gauge whether senior Indian cricketers are happy with him taking over the job.

Kirsten, who was to confirm his acceptance by Monday, decided to delay his decision following reports that some senior players were disappointed with his appointment.

"I have heard rumours about some players expressing their concern about my appointment and I would rather prefer to have clarity on that before I commit myself to the job," Kirsten has been quoted as saying in the media.

Kirsten, who has played against most senior Indian players, is expected to get in touch with them to know their mind.

The BCCI has, however, denied that Kirsten was caught in two minds over taking up the job.

"It's all rubbish. Kirsten has written to Mr. Sharad Pawar seeking some clarifications. There is no question of him being apprehensive about the senior players," said Board vice-president Rajeev Shukla.

India presently have Lalchand Rajput as the cricket manager, with Venkatesh Prasad and Robin Singh as the bowling and fielding coaches, respectively.

After UP, Punjab lifts ban on ‘Aaja Nachle’

A day after banning the screening of Madhuri Dixit’s come back film ‘Aaja Nachle’, the Punjab Government today lifted the bar.

The Uttar Pradesh Government on Saturday lifted the ban after an apology from film producer Yash Chopra and chopping of lines from the title song, which certain section of Dalits felt was derogatory.

Central Board of Film Certification chairperson Sharmila Tagore also rendered an apology for giving a nod to the title track of the film with lines “Mohale mein kaisi maara-mar hai, bole mochi bhi khud ko sunar hai” that offended the Dalits.

The Haryana Government has also banned the screening of the film in the state.

On Friday, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati had written a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh demanding that the film be banned all over the country.

Song row gets shriller, panel summons lyricists

The National Commission for Scheduled Castes will summon the people associated with the title song of the film Aaja Nachle for its “objectionable” lyrics.

"We will summon all the people who have performed, written and cleared the lyrics as well as the producer and director," Commission Chairperson Buta Singh told PTI. "The damage has already been done. The lyrics go against the two laws passed by Parliament and the Constitution itself."

The Commission would issue summons on Monday and demand written affidavits. The controversy relates to a line in the song which says: "Bazar mein machi hai maramar; bole mochi bhi khud ko sunhar" (There is so much chaos in the market that even a cobbler is calling himself a jeweller).

IANS reports trouble first erupted when Udit Raj, who heads the Indian Justice Party, on Friday led a demonstration in front of a movie hall in New Delhi where the film was being screened.

The controversy reached Parliament on Saturday when Lok Sabha MP Ramdas Athawale of the Republican Party of India alleged the title song humiliated Dalits and demanded that the film be banned.

He was supported by CPI-M MP Mohd. Salim who said writers and poets, besides the government and the Censor Board, should be more sensitive.

Information and Broadcasting Minister P R Dasmunsi told the House the Centre's role was limited to production and censoring while exhibition of films was under state govermments' jurisdiction.

"Government does not interfere in the functioning of the Censor Board which is headed by eminent film personality Sharmila Tagore. The appellate board, where anyone can appeal, is headed by senior judge Usha Mehra," he said adding no one had approached the appellate board so far.

Dasmunsi said the film’s producer had agreed to delete the lyrics from the song. Speaker Somnath Chatterjee said protests were made and corrective actions carried out.

Freedom at last: Sanjay Dutt released from Yerawada

CNN CORRESPONDENT

It's freedom at last for Sanjay Dutt. The actor, convicted in the 1993 Bombay blasts case, walked out of Pune's Yerawada jail early Thursday morning, two days after the Supreme Court granted him bail.

Family and friends were relieved after Dutt's release. CNN-IBN spoke to Ajay Marwah, a close family friend. He said the bail is a respite and now he can concentrate on his work for some time.

"Yea this a respite for Sanjay. Now he can focus on his work. I have seen him for over a decade and he has taken it all very well. He has become a wonderful person after having gone through all this. He's shining like a diamond. His family too is strong and have taken it all in their stride," said Marwah.

A beaming Dutt was seen coming out of jail with Yusuf Nulwala who was also granted bail by the Supreme Court. Dutt had to spend two nights in jail despite the Apex Court sending the bail orders via e-mail and fax.

The bail papers had to be brought to the jail authorities from the TADA court in Mumbai. Dutt had to furnish a bail amount of Rs 5 lakh.

The bail papers had to be physically brought from the Special TADA court in Mumbai to Pune's Yerawada Jail. Earlier the Supreme Court had granted him bail in the 1993 Bombay blasts case.

Under normal legal procedure, a judgement copy has to be delivered to a convict almost immediately after the judgement is passed so as to enable the convict to appeal to a higher court.

But clearly that is not the case for thousands of convicts across the state who are still waiting for their fair chance to appeal to a higher court. In this case Dutt has been the lucky one and by way of him, many others.

It is these nameless convicts who stand to benefit from the actions of the apex court. Thousands of prisoners languish behind bars because copies of their bail documents or release orders do not reach concerned authorities in time.

As for Dutt, the irony remains that in spite of his bail order coming quickly, he may still have to spend the night in jail as the hard copy of his release order from the TADA Court still hasn't reached the Yerawada Jail authorities.

R U WEARING GEMS OR STONES, THINK AGAIN?????

(The gems related quotations from the Puranas given are courtesy Mr. Richard Brown, the famous gemologist)

This gemstone remedy amuses and interests me. I am a professional astrologer, practicing and studying for the past 25 years. I learned Vedic astrology studying the various Sashtras and got further guidance from my relative Mr. K. N. Rao, the famous astrologer. To this day I have not found a single Astrology Sashtra, which prescribes gems as a "remedy" for anything - from Parashara in 3000BC to Ramadayalu in 19th century AD!! So based on what are we supposed to prescribe gems as "remedies"? A book known as "Mani Mala" by S. M. Tagore, written in 1879 is quoted by many, but it is not an accepted classic of astrology.

I am not against gems or gemologists. Gems are beautiful and the gemologists are the gem experts. I have bought various gems for my wife and I am happy with their beauty and with the gemologist who gave them. But I am dead against the fraudulent astrologers who know nothing about remedies but prescribe several stones to make money. Gems are prescribed in several Vedic astrology scriptures for keeping in the Pooja of various planets. They are also prescribed as a Dana in various astrological remedies. They are also used in several Ayurvedic preparations. However Vedic astrology scriptures have not prescribed the wearing of gems as a remedy anywhere. The Brihat Parasara Horasastra by Rishi Parasara prescribes a lot of remedies but doesn't prescribe wearing of gems as remedy. The same with the other authentic Vedic astrology scriptures written by other sages like Jaimini, Garga, Varahamihira etc. These highly evolved Rishis knew all the scriptures like the Vedas and Puranas, but ignored the gems as a remedy and prescribed only Poojas and recital of mantras and Stotras plus Dana.

BEWARE OF THESE BANKS

Looking at the rising complaints against ICICI Bank, SBI Cards, and ABN Amro Bank, we request consumers to properly read their documents and keep a record when dealing with these banks, especially regarding credit card and housing loan. These banks are biggest defaulters and do not resolve consumer problems easily. Be aware of their terms in writing. Keep a perfect record of all correspondence with them. If they do not agree to written communication, immediately stop their services.

If any bank does not send you credit card statements in time, immediately close the account and terminate their services, as you will get a shock of your life when suddenly huge amounts are billed to you and fines are levied upon your account for non-payment of dues due to non-availability of account statements. ICICI Bank and Citibank is very famous for such extortions. They do not send account statements, and then charge fine/late fee when you fail to pay. Do not believe them verbally, they change their words late on and deny their verbal statements.

ICICI Bank has issued credit card to a person who expired 12 years ago !! This card was misused and the statement was sent to his alive son for payment of Rs. 36,000.

BEWARE OF THE COUNTRY CLUB, BANGALORE

Shhhh... No Nandigram talk in House, say Left

SUBMITTED BY : RAHUL SINGH (CNN NEWS)

The Left parties are hell-bent on having a detailed debate on the nuclear deal in Parliament, but when it comes to Nandigram, they seem to have other standards.

As the Winter Session of Parliament opened on Thursday with clear indications that the Opposition BJP will disrupt proceedings over the Nandigram issue, the Left have put their foot down, saying it is a state issue and they will not allow any Parliament debate on the same.

After a meeting of four Left parties, the leaders maintained on Thursday that Nandigram issue was a 'state law and order subject" which could not be discussed in Parliament as rules did not permit such matters to be raised.

"Parliament functions according to rules. Whatever the rules permit, can be discussed. Nandigram can be discussed in the West Bengal Assembly, but not in Parliament," CPI leader Gurudas Dasgupta told a joint press conference with other Left leaders, including his party colleague D Raja and CPI(M)'s Sitaram Yechury, Basudeb Acharia and Rupchand Pal.

Recalling the police firing on Nandigram agitators on March 14 when a demand for debate was made by Leader of Opposition LK Advani, Acharia said Deputy Speaker CS Atwal had then ruled that it could not be discussed as it was a state subject. "That ruling still stands," he said.

NDTV to launch Hindi general entertainment channel

Television broadcaster NDTV Ltd said on Wednesday it plans to launch its Hindi general entertainment channel, NDTV Imagine, in January 2008.

NDTV Imagine would have a line-up of programming that includes family soaps, period dramas and music-based shows.

"The launch of this new channel is our next big leap towards our stated objective of becoming a global media power house," Prannoy Roy, chairman of NDTV, said in a statement.

NDTV Imagine Ltd, which would run the general entertainment channel, is housed under NDTV's wholly owned unit NDTV Networks Plc.

Other general entertainment channels that have been launched in India recently include INX Media Pvt Ltd's '9X' and UTV Software Communication Ltd's 'Bindass'.

Rani pays Rs 33 lakh for land, but never gets it

SUBMITTED BY: RAHUL TANEJA(RAAGA ENTERTAINMENT NEWS)

Actor Rani Mukherjee may have sold the Taj Mahal in a movie, but in real life, she might have been duped in a land deal.

The actor had reportedly paid Rs 33 lakh in December 2005 for a non-transferable farmland near Shirdi in Maharashtra.

After the purchase, Rani is said to have paid a stamp duty of Rs 1.32 lakh for registration in the district tehsildar office, but the ownership of the land could not be transferred to her name because the tehsildar said it was government land leased out to a farmer. Now the deal has been scrapped by the district collector.

The farmer Sampat More is now apparently willing to return the money to Rani. The land was purchased in the name of Rani's father Ram Mukherjee.

The actor, who was aware that it was agricultural land, has not come forward to lodge any complaints so far.

The Government of Maharashtra has certain procedures where non-farmers are allowed to buy agricultural land and it is believed that Rani’s father had agreed to follow the law of the land.

Seventeen other people in the area have been duped in land cases in a similar manner.

SHORT FILM ''THE EMPLOYEE'' BY AAFT STUDENT

Symington: I saw a UFO (udantastri) in the Arizona sky

video is for demonstration

In 1997, during my second term as governor of Arizona, I saw something that defied logic and challenged my reality.

I witnessed a massive delta-shaped, craft silently navigate over Squaw Peak, a mountain range in Phoenix, Arizona. It was truly breathtaking. I was absolutely stunned because I was turning to the west looking for the distant Phoenix Lights.

To my astonishment this apparition appeared; this dramatically large, very distinctive leading edge with some enormous lights was traveling through the Arizona sky.

As a pilot and a former Air Force Officer, I can definitively say that this craft did not resemble any man-made object I'd ever seen. And it was certainly not high-altitude flares because flares don't fly in formation.

The incident was witnessed by hundreds -- if not thousands -- of people in Arizona, and my office was besieged with phone calls from very concerned Arizonians.The growing hysteria intensified when the story broke nationally. I decided to lighten the mood of the state by calling a press conference where my chief of staff arrived in an alien costume. We managed to lessen the sense of panic but, at the same time, upset many of my constituents.

Beware! Your Diwali sweet may be adulterated

COLLECTED BY: RISHI KAPOOR

Sweets are an integral part of Diwali celebrations. They make your mouth water but what you now need to be on guard as they could be made out of adulterated milk.

So as a customer how can you really ensure that the pedha or burfi you pick up is unadulterated and of the purest form?

"It could generally be in the colour they use or the mava they may use. The foremost thing you can do is buy only from a genuine shop and also understand that someone who may be giving you something cheaper might only mean that he is using cheaper products,” says owner, Aswaad Sweets, Dadar.

“We should buy sweets only from genuine places,” says a customer.

So the trick is to purchase sweets from a reputed shop or buy ones that are less colourful. And it is also important to keep in mind that the product should be sampled to ensure it doesn't have inferior oil or dalda.

Fan reveals number, Shilpa's phone won't stop ringing

submitted by : rajat kapoor

Actress Shilpa Shetty was swamped with hundreds of calls after a fan got hold of her private number and sent it out in a mass e-mail, forcing her to file a police complaint, her publicist said on Tuesday.

The complaint asks police to trace the fan, said Shetty's publicist Dale Bhagwagar. Currently in Britain performing a musical titled Miss Bollywood, the actress was ''extremely perturbed'' her number was known to hundreds of people who called or sent her SMS messages, he said.

''Some want to date her, some want to just listen to her voice, some want to inquire if her musical 'Miss Bollywood' is doing fine and some call just to check if they are speaking to the real Shilpa Shetty,'' Bhagwagar said, adding that the actress has stopped using the number.

Mumbai police were investigating the incident, said police officer Sushil Joshi, adding that the fan could face a six-month jail term for harassment and illegally using the Internet to publicize a private phone number.

Dhoni to be Test captain after Sachin says no

COLLECTED BY: RISHI KAPOOR

Two days before the selectors were to announce India’s new Test captain after Rahul Dravid’s resignation, Sachin Tendulkar has pulled out of the race.

Tendulkar has cited personal reasons and has met the board of selectors to convey his decision behind declining to lead the Test team. He was the top contender for the post.

“I don’t feel right about it at the moment,” Tendulkar told CNN-IBN’s Editor in Chief Rajdeep Sardesai.

On October 27, CNN-IBN had learnt that Tendulkar had reportedly agreed to take over the Test captaincy. He was to be the captain for the next 10 Test matches — three against Pakistan, four against Australia in Australia and three against South Africa at home — until April 2008.

Sources told CNN-IBN that Sachin spoke to the selectors and stated his reluctance to become the captain for a third time. The post of Indian captain has been vacant now for about seven weeks since Rahul Dravid stepped down after India’s tour of England.

Tendulkar had been Dravid’s deputy during the Test series in Bangladesh and England. However, the batsman did an about turn on his decision in a letter to BCCI President Sharad Pawar, saying that the selection policies are not just, and the seniors have not been treated properly, hinting at Dravid’s exclusion from the One-Day side.

BCCI sources say that Mahendra Singh Dhoni, India’s One-Day and Twenty20 captain, will take over the Test side as well, although Anil Kumble could also be discussed when the selectors meet on Thursday at Mohali during the second ODI against Pakistan.

Tendulkar's refusal has put the selectors in a tight spot – they are now left without a senior player to captain the Test side, while former cricketers like Ravi Shastri feel that ODI captain Dhoni is not ready for Test captaincy yet.

The selectors are due to meet on November 8 at Mohali to announce the team for the remaining three One-Dayers against Pakistan, along with naming the new Test captain.

EMERGENCY IN PAK, CJ DETAINED

COLLECTED BY: RISHI KAPOOR

Pakistan President General Pervez Musharraf on Saturday evening imposed emergency in the country amid rising militant violence.

Dawn news reports that the Army has entered the Supreme Court in Islamabad and has detained Chief Justice Ifthekar Choudhry.

Private television channels are off air in Islamabad. Reports say barriers and barbed wires have come up at important points in Islamabad.

Pakistan Television said Musharraf, who is also chief of army staff, had issued a provisional constitutional order declaring an emergency. Musharraf, who seized power in a 1999 coup, is awaiting a Supreme Court ruling on whether he was eligible to run for re-election last month while still army chief.

Army pickets have also sprung up in Peshawar, the capital of North-West Frontier Province that borders Afghanistan.

A senior security official told Reuters that Musharraf would seek approval for the move from the cabinet later, after which there were expectations he would address the nation. The cabinet was due to start meeting at 7 pm (1400 GMT).

Sung by criticism it was adding to a sense of instability, the Supreme Court said on Friday it would reconvene on Monday and try to finish the case quickly, having earlier said it would take a break until November 12 -- just three days before Musharraf's current term is due to expire.

Earlier Attorney General Malik Qayyum told the court that there was no move by the government to impose martial law.

TV journalists beaten up by Bihar MLA's men

In a bizarre incident that perhaps best reflects the rampant lawlessness in Bihar, a ruling Janata Dal United legislator beat up three television journalists on Thursday.

MLA Anant Singh and four of his supporters have been arrested for beating NDTV reporter Prakash Singh, cameraperson Habib Ali and ANI correspondent Ajay Kumar.

The journalists were shooting for a crime story in which the MLA is a suspect.

A group of 25 people allegedly beat them up and snatched their camera, mobile phones and watches.

“We had taken the MLA's name, that is why they all got together to beat us. We were kept for two hours and we just had a narrow escape,” said Prakash Singh

Added Ali, “There were about 20-25 people beating us. I have fractured my elbow, and they even broke my camera, mobile and the watch.”

The JD(U) and the Opposition RJD have strongly condemned the incident. The RJD has even called for a bandh in the state on Friday.

“Anant Singh should be arrested as soon as possible. Lot of cases are pending against him. If this is the way Nitish Kumar government is going to run, then it could be a problematic situation for Bihar to run,” said RJD MLA Sakeel Ahmed.

Former chief minister and RJD leader Rabri Devi was quick to grab the opportunity criticise Nitish Kumar's government.

"We will meet the Governer today and will write letters to PM, Home Minister telling them everything. Reporters are always attacked in Bihar. Is this law? Tomorrow a bandh will be observed in Bihar," she said.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said he was recommending a CBI inquiry into the murder in which Anant Singh is a suspect.

"I read news reports about the murder case and now I got to hear that NDTV reporters were beaten up outside an MLA's house. I told the DGP and he will probe into it," he said.
