New laws that have come up have created much of outcry cause of difficulties people are facing. Protests are intended in more than 70 cities in order to cancel of the contentious Arizona legislation as well as to review immigration alteration at a federal level. Organizer Nativo Lopez, president of the Mexican American Political Association, said the Arizona law “only gives working people, immigrants, youth, women, trade unionists and their sympathizers more reason to march.” The rallies were being held “not only to decry the horrible legislative act in Arizona, but to demand a fair and humane immigration reform by this Democratic administration in 2010,” Lopez added. Business city Los Angeles is projected to host the largest of the protests with approximate 100,000 people may turn up as police is saying. Same figures were seen in 2006. According to the law in Arizona it is a crime if one lacks papers at the time of immigration and authorizes police to check whether the person is leaving country illegally. Some of Civil rights activists think that these laws may lead to racial discrimination while state officials underlined that the bill clearly prohibit law enforcement officers from preventing someone just because of their culture. Arizona Governor Jan Brewer stated the law that has engrossed wide national brace requires to be guarded by the state’s fragile border. In Phoenix on Thursday, the phrasing of the law was twisted by legislators in an attempt Brewer said was provoked to make it “crystal clear” that racial prejudices was not legal. A passage, containing phrase "solely" was demanded to be removed from the clause. “These changes specifically answer legal questions raised by some who expressed fears that the original law would somehow allow or lead to racial profiling,” Brewer said in a statement. “These new amendments make it crystal clear and undeniable that racial profiling is illegal and will not be tolerated in Arizona.” Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa joined the demonstrations on Thursday, calling the law "unpatriotic and un-American" highlighting the quote in other cities including San Francisco. “While we recognize that we must enact 21st century legislation to secure our borders and ensure the safety of all our citizens, the law signed by the governor of Arizona simply does not do this,” Villaraigosa said. “The Arizona law is not only misguided, it is unpatriotic and unconstitutional.” San Francisco city attorney Dennis Herrera and supervisor David Campos said the law was a “a direct threat to the fundamental rights of many MLB players and fans, and an affront to millions of Americans who are — or who may appear to be — of foreign heritage.” The Major League Baseball Players Association meanwhile said Arizona’s legislation could have a “negative impact on hundreds of Major League players who are citizens of countries other than the United States.” | ||

Former deputy prime minister and MP from Gandhinagar L.K. Advani recounted his journey from Sindh following partition to life in Kutch and praised Modi for the development in the state. While the state pulled out all stops to make the inaugural function and the cultural programme a success, chaos prevailed due to over-crowding at the venue.

The memorial will house a meditation hall and a museum. The Gandhi garden will have life-sized sculptures of Mahatma Gandhi. Addressing the Congress rally, state party chief Siddharth Patel said: ‘The founding fathers of the state enshrined the values of simplicity in celebrations and service before self in conduct while laying the foundations of the state and we intend to adhere to this.’ Leader of Opposition in the assembly Shaktisinh Gohil said that the Congress, which was all for joining in the official celebrations, was forced to disassociate itself from it when Modi sought to turn a state function into the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party’s affair. ‘The progress and development of Gujarat has been because of the progressive, far-sighted and development-oriented approach of its people and no single individual can take credit for it all,’ Gohil added. Ahmed Patel, political advisor to Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, said the state’s Congress chief ministers had laid a solid foundation for its growth. The function, which marked the culmination of its Gujarat ‘gaurav yatras’ taken out from various parts of the state, was attended by all three members of the union cabinet from the state – Dinsha Patel, Bharat Solanki and Tushar Chaudhary. Union Commerce Minister Anand Sharma, Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda and Goa Chief Minister Digambar Kamat also attended the function.

Medium pacer Hamid Hassin was the pick of the bowlers, dismissing Vijay and giving away just eight runs in three overs.

Film follows the accounts of 1984 horrors with latest updates. "A Nightmare on Elm Street" cannot be tagged as a terrible movie just because it is a remake. It is good effort movie with appropriate amount of thrills and horror sequences.

Lack of humor stings if one remembers the original part where bathtub sequence is still in memories of viewers. The other major point to be noted is the "severe" tone of Freddie is now dormant child abuser rather a serial killer of them. In today's time when these issues related with children are matter of concern really give a movie an interested turn. Let's see how good it can be in viewers' choice than the previous. | ||

It has been an amazing experience in my career. He is a great actor, the best co-star, and a great human being. It has been enjoyable and fun. But if you ask me about first impressions … the first time I saw him was in Jodhaa Akbar. And I didn't like him. The first thought that came to my mind was, 'Oh my God, he is such a tough guy, is he going to act like this in Kites? All tough and male?' and I didn't like him at all. And then, I did a bit of research. I saw Lakshya – I liked it, and then I saw Koi Mil Gaya and I loooved it. And I realized he was a versatile actor. And finally, after some months, I met him in person, in Mumbai, and I was like, 'he is such a handsome guy!' I have heard that he's called a Greek God and that is really true, I thought. He was with Sussanne and she was pregnant, and before you ask, she was very nice to me … Pinki, Sunaina, the whole family was very nice to me." | ||
| Mayawati expels 500 BSP workers with criminal past Posted: 01 May 2010 09:08 AM PDT Lucknow, May 1 (IANS) Cracking the whip on party workers with criminal backgrounds, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati Saturday ordered the expulsion of around 500 party activists, sources said. Significantly, the cleansing operation exempted legislators, MPs or prominent party leaders facing criminal charges, the sources added. ‘The majority of those suspended are ordinary-level party workers,’ a BSO office bearer told IANS, requesting anonymity. ‘The activists who have been shown the door include Mukhtar Ansari and Afzal Ansari. Both of them have already been expelled from the party,’ he added. Mayawati April 16 had expelled the Ansari brothers for their alleged involvement in criminal activities. Afzal and Mukhtar are in jail in connection with the murder of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) legislator Krishnanand Rai, who was gunned down in a broad daylight ambush near Allahabad in November 2005. The decision to expel around 500 party activists was taken by Mayawati late Saturday evening during a meeting with BSP office bearers. Meanwhile, BSP opponents have termed the cleansing operation merely ‘an eyewash to win the confidence of the people’. ‘The point to be noted is that the action has been taken against ordinary workers. She (Mayawati) just cannot afford to take action against MLAs or MPs as it would disintegrate her party,’ state BJP spokesperson H.N. Dixit told reporters here. Echoing similar views, Congress’ state spokesperson Alkhilesh Pratap Singh said: ‘It’s just drama…Mayawati just cannot eliminate senior members, ministers and MLAs facing criminal charges because she knows very well that the move will break the party and she would not be able to rule the state.’ Lucknow, May 1 (IANS) Cracking the whip on party workers with criminal backgrounds, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati Saturday ordered the expulsion of around 500 party activists, sources said. |
