Draw a line between govt, private events: India to Pak on IPL

Rejecting Pakistan"s charge that its players were snubbed for IPL at the behest of India, External Affairs Minister S M Krishna today said it should draw a line between government programmes and private events. - Come into my parlour - IPL snub: Pak threatens to respond in "befitting manner" - Withdraw hockey team from WC to protest IPL insult: Abbas">Withdraw hockey team from WC to protest IPL insult: Abbas - New vaccine may help cure multiple diseases - Maha to levy entertainment tax on IPL matches - YouTube to stream IPL 2010 cricket matches live "Government has nothing to do with IPL, on selection of players and various exercises that are connected with it. So, Pakistan will have to draw a line between where Government of India is connected and where Government of India is an actor," he said. Krishna said this when reporters sought his comments on Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik"s remarks that the manner in which the players were "insulted" showed that India was not serious about the peace process. The Minister"s remarks also come in the wake of Pakistan"s move against sending any parliamentary delegations to India to protest the "treatment meted out" to the country"s cricketers in the auction for the Indian Premier League tournament. Twenty20 champions Pakistan was stunned after none of the country"s 11 players, including current Twenty20 captain Shahid Afridi who had played for Deccan Chargers in the first season, were signed up during the IPL auction on Tuesday. Pakistan National Assembly Speaker Fehmida Mirza had said that her country will not send parliamentary delegations to India after the main opposition PML-N said its members will boycott all official visits to India to protest the perceived snub of the Pakistani cricketers. "India or any other country that does not give respect to Pakistan will be treated the same way by us. If there is a desire to improve Indo-Pak friendship, respect should be given to Pakistani sportspersons," Malik said.

Farmers' resounding no to Bt brinjal
It was the biggest line-up of farmers’ organisations and they came to Delhi from all parts of the country with one clear message: they did not want to grow the genetically modified (GM) version of one of the country’s most popular vegetable, the brinjal. The leaders looked mild enough but they said they would resort to “direct action ” if their voice was not heard and they said they represented 200 million farmers in the major brinjal-growing states.
