AIADMK leader and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, J Jayalalitha is under extreme intensive care in Apollo Hospital in Chennai after she was rushed in to the hospital after a severe cardiac arrest. Earlier, she was in hospital but was discharged after extensive treatment. Critics even say that she was discharged from hospital right after the Prime Minister of India, Mr. Narendra Modi demonised the 1000 rupee and 500 rupee notes to crack whip on the black money hoarders.

The Chennai administration is facing a tough time with fans and supporters of Jayalalitha thronging the entrance and premised of Apollo Hospital where she is admitted. There have been reports of minor clashes between the crowd and the security personnel who are waiting since past 2 days to know more about the condition of their beloved leader.

Earlier in the day, all hell broke loose when there was a mistimed report in one of the TV channels about the death of the Tamil Nadu CM. But, the crowd was soon brought into control after minor lathi-charge. Apollo Hospital, too, immediately calmed the crowd announcing that the news was utterly false and that Jayalalitha was very much alive and being attended to. 

Jayalalitha was brought into the hospital on Sunday evening after suffering a major heart attack. On her arrival and seeing the mass gathering of people around the hospital, the government decided to keep schools and colleges in the city shut. There were reports of even some shopkeepers keeping their stores shut today. Even Karnataka government did not ply their buses into Tamil Nadu fearing public outlast and destruction to goverment property.

In shocking new coming in CBI raids and seals office of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal - 15th December 2015

In latest reports coming in, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has raided the offices of Delhi CM, Mr. Arvind Kejriwal. In what comes as a shock to the CM of Delhi, CBI sleuths have sealed his office and the reason for the same is still unknown.
Mr. Arvind Kejriwal has tweeted confirming the same and has called the Prime Minister of India, Mr. Narendra Modi a coward to have done such an act. It is interesting to know that the CBI comes under the control of the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) and must have surely happened with the PM being in the know-how.
This comes on the back drop of the BJP government already going behind the Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi for causing financial loss to India for personal gains.

Peter Mukherjea arrested in the Sheena murder case - 20th November 2015

Peter Mukherjea, the owner of 9X group of channels, was arrested by the CBI Mumbai police in the wee hours today. The CBI was grilling him continously for the past three days and reportedly had been questioning him till 1 am today. Peter Mukherjea the now husband of Indrani Mukherjea, was one of the witness in the  sensational Sheena Bora murder case.

Indrani Mukherjea is already behind the bars for the alleged murder of her own daughter Sheena, the motive for which is yet not clear. Peter Mukherjea's arrest was nailed by his driver Rai, who testified that Sheena was discussed in length and in great detail by Indrani and Peter in his presence. If these discussions also included Sheena's murder plan is still not clear.

Peter Mukherjea who feigned ignorance was earlier caught giving contradicting statements on television to a popular news channel, Times Now. The anchor of the show Arnab Goswami had in an earlier interview got out from Peter Mukherjea that he did not know about Sheena Bora and that she was introduced to him as Indrani 's sister. But, in a similar interview after a few days, Peter was found saying that in fact he had met Sheena Bora many times and was aware that she was Indrani's daughter.

This high profile case was nearly dusted under the carpet by these high profile page 3 celebrities but came dramatically into the limelight when Mukherjea's driver Rai was pulled up by the cops for some petty crime. During interrogation, Rai blurted out his misdeeds and to the Mukherjea's horror also told about the body which was abandoned in Raigad, Maharashtra.

The police put the jigsaw pieces together and framed the Mukherjea's nearly a year after the crime was committed. There were reports of pressure tactics by influential people to slow down the investigations and also the then police commissioner, Rakesh Maria's closeness to Peter Mukherjea. The chief minister of Maharashtra, Mr. Devendra Fadnavis, under immense pressure from the media, decided to give a prior retirement to the police commissioner, Rakesh Maria and in due course even handed over the investigation to the CBI.

The CBI - Central Bureau of Investigation - is an exclusive crime investigation team set up by the Central Government of India for handling high profile cases and cases where witnesses are scattered around the country. The cases where the state government's jurisdiction may prove a hurdle or the force strength may prove inefficient.

The case is still being pursued with startling revelations day after day. But one thing is for sure - a crime has happened and the authorities are keen to get to the bottom of it and bring the guilty to book 

All the world leaders please unite against terror - Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi - 19th November 2015

In the backdrop of the gruesome terrorist attacks in France, the Indian Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi has urged the world leaders to come together and fight the common enemy of humanity. In the on going G20 summit in Turkey, Mr. Modi called upon the G20 nations leaders to forget all the alliances and trade treaties with other nations and vow to eradicate terror from its roots.

He called upon ways to stop funding which these terror outfits somehow manage to get easily. If the funding is stopped then their activities will also go down. Earlier, in his addresses he was very vocal about the world perceiving terrorism as something like good terrorism and bad terrorism. He had slammed those seeing terrorists from different viewpoints according to their vested interests. Terrorism is something which is the biggest enemy of humanity and it must be dealt with strongly without making any discrimination about its origin or target groups.

He also urged the United Nations to give a formal definition for the word 'terrorist' which will help nations know what exactly is terrorism and help them in combating and framing laws against them. He insisted that terrorism of all forms must be treated and dealt with equally if the world were to eradicate one of its biggest threats to humanity.

France and Russia pound ISIS camps in Syria as a revenge - 18th November 2015

In what can be termed as a revenge, France has joined hands with Russia in destroying the supposed ISIS terror camps in Syria. Russia has been carrying out similar attacks since the last few months and there were reports of Russia bombing some extremists training camps which were supported by the United States of America.

This is a major turn of events where a European nation in a revengeful mood over ISIS attacks in the heart of France, Paris has vowed to bring the perpetrators of 7 serial bombing in their home soil to book. France has promised to their own countrymen as well as to the world that they would be merciless against the terror groups.

In disturbing images late last night, French airplanes were seen pounding the ISIS base in Syria demolishing buildings and camps in a span of seconds. French officials have confirmed that it is a very well planned and precision attack on the terror colonies only and that no civilians would be affected by these air strikes.

The French joining hands with the Russians is seen as a surprise as well as turning point by experts which believe that the United States is in a fix on whom to give alliance to. Earlier, the American president Barrack Obama had categorically ruled out any ground based incursion into Syria. With French joining the Russians, experts believe, it to be only a matter of time before the entire European Union standing by France and becoming Russia's allies. Russian president Vladimir Putin is very vocal about his stand on Syria and has ruffled some feathers at the G-20 summit that some G-20 members are openly funding the ISIS camps.

These disturbing allegations have done little in support for the United States who is clearly in two minds about their approach in the given situation. They don't seem to get in the good books of many nations due to their current stand. What happens next in this diplomatic mess is to be seen, but one thing is for sure the world Muslims are under great stress due to the wrong doings of a few terror minded people who are giving a bad name to the entire community.

The world is watching and it is high time that all type of support - financial or otherwise - need to be cut off from these terror outfits. Their source of income need to be destroyed and countries encouraging them in their home soil need to be given a stern warning - get it line or face it!
