SRK Challenges Shiv Sena Bollywood Style

Under attack from Shiv Sena for his remarks on the IPL fiasco, Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan, on Tuesday, said he was not apologetic for favoring the inclusion of Pakistani players and termed the activities of the party as "undemocratic".

Standing by his comments, Shah Rukh asserted he believed that every Indian would agree that India is a "good country" and that "everyone is welcome as a guest", but at the same time said too much importance was being attached to the words of "just an actor".

"It makes me feel that activities like this are unhealthy, undemocratic, its insensitive but this is the world is and you can only say what you believe in and stand by it and hopefully I will have the strength to do so," Khan told reporters when asked about the Shiv Sena protests back home.

"As an Indian I'm not ashamed, guilty or unhappy about what I said neither am I sorry," he said.
- Well said Mr Khan ;)

Twenty20 Champions League 2010

With Australia's tour of India scheduled in October, the Twenty20 Champions League (CL) may be held in September this year, which raises a question mark over England's participation in the event as the county season would still be on there in September.

Sources indicated that if the CL is advanced by a month, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) will have to make up its mind regarding the availability of its players for CL.

Two teams from England - Somerset and Sussex - had taken part in the inaugural edition of CL last October

Mohammad Azharuddin Supports Pakistani Players

Congress MP and former Indian captain Mohammad Azharuddin on Monday batted for the inclusion of Pakistani cricketers in the Indian Premier League (IPL), saying the best players should take part in the tournament irrespective of their nationality.



"In a tournament like IPL, the best players should play irrespective of whether they come from Australia, India or any other country," Azharuddin said.

But he hastened to add that he was not speaking as a Congress MP. "But I think this shouldn't have happened. Everybody should have got a chance," he said, referring the refusal of IPL teams to rope in Pakistani players.

Chidambaram slams Shiv Sena threats

Union Home Minister P Chidambaram on Monday guaranteed "full security" to Australian and Pakistani players in India following the Shiv Sena's threats to them.


"Let Australian players come to India. Let Pakistani players come to India. Let them play in Mumbai and I will guarantee them full security," Chidambaram said.

The assurance follows the Sena's threat that it would not allow Australian players to play in IPL matches after the spate of attacks on Indians in that country.

Imran Khan roars at Lalit Modi

Legendary fast bowler Imran Khan said that Pakistani players had suffered "insulting treatment" at the hands of the Indian Premier League, and no player should take part in the tournament.


Eleven top Pakistani cricketers were up for grabs at the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction in mid-January but none were picked, sparking outrage in Pakistan and accusations against arch-rival India of political meddling.

"IPL did injustice to Pakistani players - in fact it was insulting treatment meted out to players who are world champions, and we should never send our players to the league," said Khan, a former captain turned politician.

"Pakistani cricketers are the best in the world and the PCB should protest this with the Indian Board and boycott the IPL," he said.

"They totally disrespected the Pakistani players. If they had security problems they should have dealt with them before the auction."
