More than 40 Puffy bodies, debris found in AirAsia search

After three days of intense search, at least 40 puffy bodies and debris of the missing AirAsia aircraft carrying 162 people were found on Tuesday in the Java Sea off Indonesia but the mystery remained over the cause of the crash.

The Indonesian navy reported that 40 bodies had been retrieved by one warship and rescuers were continuing to recover more bodies.

The bodies were spotted along with debris floating in the Java Sea off the Indonesian part of Borneo, close to the area where contact was lost with the aircraft on Sunday morning.

Relatives of the 162 people on board the ill-fated plane hugged each other and burst into tears in Surabaya from where the plane had taken off for Singapore as they watched television footage of bodies floating in the sea.

Indonesian transportation ministry's acting director general of air transportation, Djoko Murjatmodjo, said that the wreckage was discovered in Pangkalan Bun, Central Kalimantan, and belonged to the AirAsia flight QZ8501. "It has been confirmed that it is debris from an aircraft bearing red and white colours," Djoko said, citing that the debris was found by the ministry's rescue team.

Search and rescue operations are on in the area in coordination with Basarnas, Indonesia's national search and rescue agency, he said.

Earlier, an Indonesian air force plane spotted a "shadow" on the seabed believed to be that of the Airbus A320-200, Bambang Soelistyo, chief of Indonesia's rescue agency told reporters. "God blessed us today. At 12:50 the air force Hercules found an object described as a shadow at the bottom of the sea in the form of a plane," he said.

AirAsia CEO Tony Fernandes, who is an ethnic Indian, tweeted to the families of the victims: "My heart is filled with sadness for all the families involved in QZ 8501. On behalf of AirAsia my condolences."

Search chief Soelistyo said all efforts were now being concentrated on the location where the "shadow" and debris have been found.

The plane was carrying 155 passengers -- one British, one Malaysian, one Singaporean, three South Koreans, 149 Indonesians -- and seven crew members -- six Indonesians and a French co-pilot.

Seventeen of the passengers were children. There were no Indian nationals on board.

Indonesian national search and rescue agency spokesman M Yusuf Latif said that a maritime patrol aircraft from the Indonesian air force first discovered the debris during a search.

Ten pieces of debris were found during the search on Tuesday for the ill-fated AirAsia Indonesia.

"We just searched (the location) until 11 am. So, according to estimations, the debris was seen at 10:15 am (local time)," Yusuf told reporters.

A news conference by the head of the operation Soelistyo, shown live on Indonesian TV, pictures of the debris were shown including a body floating on the water. Relatives of passengers on the plane watching the pictures were visibly shocked.

All resources were now being sent to the area where the debris was found, and all objects or bodies found would be taken to Pangkalan Bun, Soelistyo said, referring to a nearby town in Central Kalimantan province. Soelistyo said that ships with more sophisticated technology were being deployed to check whether larger parts of the plane were submerged beneath the debris.

The multinational operation, led by Indonesia, was joined by Malaysia, Singapore and Australia, At least 30 ships, 15 aircraft and seven helicopters had joined the search for the AirAsia flight with other offers for help from countries like India, South Korea, China and France. The US destroyer USS Sampson was also on its way to the zone as the discovery was found.

BJP Trying to Enter in J&K But Congress, NC, & PDP joining hands to stop Modi & Development !!

Now In Jammu & Kashmir, Mr Modi is Finding option to form Government in state. According to BJP they want to form government & develop state But as usual all other parties joining hands together against mr Modi & BJP to stop them.... or putting some unwanted conditions, so that BJP self go out from government formation race.

The same is with Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Saturday set tough conditions for the Bharatiya Janata Party for the formation of the new government in Jammu and Kashmir, declaring that its stand against revocation of Art 370 was "non-negotiable".

Indicating that the PDP, with the highest tally of 28 followed by the BJP with 25, may find it hard to do business, it also said it remained committed to the revocation of the controversial ArmedForces Special Powers Act.  That is unlikely to be acceptable to the BJP.

With Governor N N Vohra setting a deadline of January 1 for the PDP and BJP to come up with proposals for government formation, behind-the-scenes contacts among the principal players including the National Conference and the Congress intensified.

For the record, PDP said that "all options are open and that no decision has been taken yet" but there were reports that it was facing stiff opposition from a substantial chunk of its newly-elected MLAs to any tie up with the BJP.

PDP's alternative option is to accept the support of the Congress which has 12 MLAs and the NC, which has 15 in the 87-member assembly. It is in touch with both the parties as it wrestles with the dilemma of joining hands with the BJP.

The BJP maintained that it would be involved in government formation.  "We have a crucial mandate in Jammu and Kashmir. We will be involved in government formation.  Talks are going on.  Let us see what happens," party General Secretary Ram Madhav said in New Delhi.

He said somehow they wanted to find a way to form a stable government.  Things were at a very early stage and no conditions are being discussed. "The best combination will be a stable government in the state. We will explore what will be the best combination. Hesitation, if at all, is there on both sides. The BJP has a very important mandate in the state and has secured the highest number of votes and second highest number of seats.”

 NC President and the outgoing Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, having verbally announced support to the PDP, left for London on Saturday afternoon to be with his parents, who have undergone surgeries.  He is expected to be back only after the New Year.

Why Amir Khans Bollwood Movie PK is Controversal ........ Read Detail

Aamir Khan's PK is movie that initiate social debates on issues that matter to the country. As Bollywood is famous for its dance routines, dramatic visuals and songs across the world.

pk questions superstitions in a country where religion is deeply rooted in social consciousness of the people. Amir Khan plays an alien in the film who comes to visit the earth and almost immediately falls victim to human greed. His "remote control" gets stolen, a device without which he cannot go back to his planet.

In amir khans pk: To discover the world,  pk meets people, "both good and bad", visits places and learns the language. He find that many people believe that only god can help him find his remote control. He visits remote temples, mosques and churches. He follows advices given by priests and religious leaders to convince the god of every faith. But he slowly finds out some  godmen use superstitions and fraud to cheat people.

PK is not the first movie that has taken a controversial but critical look at religious practices in India. But then why is the film generating strong reactions?

The answer lies in the movie's simple narrative. It doesn't reach any conclusion on the existence of religion, but simply questions superstitions.

In one scenes, a priest tells a man to take an arduous journey to a temple in the Himalayas to ensure that one of his sick family members gets well.

PK jumps into the conversation and asks the priest if it's true that god considers all humans as his sons and daughters. Yes, says the priest. PK follows up with another question: "Which father would send an already troubled son on an arduous journey?". Such simple but important questions have made the movie a thought-provoking drama.

In film PK bathing in holy rivers, trekking to reach holy temples and painfully beating himself in mourning. He later discovers that such advice doesn't mean much and most "godmen" use religions to do business and make profits.

The rest of the movie is all about PK's debate with one such powerful "godman" who is in possession of his remote control. In the end, he proves the guru wrong, falls in love with a female Staring Anuska Sharma plays journalist who helps him, and returns to his planet.

Recently Some Godsman "Gurus or Sant" like Asharam & Ramphal go to jail due to godmen use superstitions and fraud to cheat people & charges like murder and rape.

Many have criticised the film for "maligning Hinduism" and other religions in the films.

Modi Call for Congress Mukht Bharat & BJP Going Strong........

Are you going to compare the current results to those of the last Assembly polls, or to those of the 16th Lok Sabha polls.

Narendra Modi & Amit Shah said in election rally they want corruption & congress free bharat (india) & now as per last 4 states election result they are going strong......

The Congress was part of the Hemant Soren ministry that took office on July 13, 2013 along with Lalu Prasad Yadav'sRashtriya Janata Dal. The Congress was also part of a coalition ministry headed by the National Conference's Omar Abdullah as of January 5, 2009. But what does it say of the party that all of its coalition partners -- the Rashtriya Janata Dal, the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, the National Conference -- chose to part ways with the Congress for the assembly elections?

You cannot really blame the regional parties. The difference in votes polled fighting alongside the Congress in parliamentary polls versus the share of votes fighting alone tells a vivid story.

In the Lok Sabha elections the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha polled 9.42% of the total votes in the state; fighting alone in the Vidhan Sabha elections the party got 20.4% and is the second largest party in the assembly. Neither the Rashtriya Janata Dal nor the Janata Dal-United could get a single MLA. elected.

In the parliamentary elections the National Conference got just 11.22% of the votes polled. In the assembly elections -- despite all the abuse that came Omar Abdullah's way after his disastrous handling of the floods in September -- the party won 20.8% of the votes.

The message has already been heard in the headquarters of all every party: The Congress is a liability to any group that becomes an ally.
How about India's ruling party? The BJP set a high bar for itself in the Lok Sabha polls -- and an even higher one when it spoke of 'Mission 44' in Jammu and Kashmir. It has certainly failed to reach those heights.

What is equally undeniable, however, that the BJP has more than doubled its previous strength in Jammu and Kashmir, and it has become the first party to win an absolute majority in Jharkhand for the first time since the state was created on November 15, 2000.

What were the issues at stake in the two states? Corruption and bad governance were definitely talking points in both (as they are in most of India). How about dynastic politics?

The BJP certainly raised that point in both states, implicitly attacking the Abdullah and Mufti clans in Jammu and Kashmir, and the Sorens in Jharkhand. The chief minister's chair but Hemant Soren has ensured that the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha remains a significant presence in the state.

The Mufti family is all set to take over the reins in Srinagar, and even the Abdullah-led National Conference has done better than anticipated following the Lok Sabha elections. The only dynasty to have fallen flat on its face is the Nehru-Gandhi clan, but we have already spoken of that.

 Opposition can always find another reason to disrupt proceedings, people are already pontificating that the BJP success in Jammu and its total washout in Kashmir was thanks to the consolidation of the Hindu vote in the former and the equal and opposite reaction in the latter. Equally, some people are saying that the BJP was denied an even larger majority in Jharkhand because of missionary activists in the state. Both sides are going to draw precisely opposite messages from these results.

All you can say at the end of the day is that these elections mark both an end and a beginning. They mark the end of a campaign that the BJP started one year ago, the aim of creating a 'Congress-mukht Bharat'.

Whether through the BJP's canniness or through its own follies, the Congress has been reduced to a fringe player. But it also marks the start of an era where the BJP must now campaign on its own record rather than against the misrule of another party.

Jammu and Kashmir is, according to many judges, possibly the most blessed state of India above the ground thanks to its beauty.  Jharkhand is possibly the most blessed state of India under the surface, thanks to the wealth of mineral resources. And they are also two of the most poorly governed states in India.

All one can hope is that both these states, as well as the rest of India alongside them, shall enjoy better government in 2015.

J & K and Jharkhand waiting for the formation of new Government Ends Tomorrow !!

Counting Of Votes & waiting 4 New Govt. Ends Tomorrow...

Counting of votes will be held on 23/12/2014 in Jammu & Kashmir and Jharkhand which witnessed a record turnout in the multi-cornered contests to elect their Assemblies.

The five-phase election in the two States which stretched for nearly a month saw 66 per cent voting with authorities making massive security arrangements to prevent any attempts by militants or Maoists to disrupt the polls. Election Commission official said on Monday that, The counting will begin at 8 a.m. and the first trends are expected to trickle within an hour or so. All security arrangements are in place at the counting centres.

In Jammu and Kashmir, where polling was held for 87 seats, the turnout was the highest after 1987 despite boycott calls by separatists and militants. The militancy-hit State has seen a quadrangular fight among ruling National Conference, main opposition PDP, BJP and Congress, which parted ways with NC ahead of the polls.

Most of the observers will keenly watch the result of Handwara Assembly constituency in north Kashmir Kupwara district where separatist-turned mainstream politician Sajjad Gani Lone is trying his luck.

Jharkhand, which has been battling Maoist violence, registered an overall 66 per cent turnout for the 81 assembly seats. The State, which was carved out of Bihar in 2000, bettered the previous mark of 54.2 per cent in the 2004 assembly polls.

Altogether 1,136 candidates, including 111 women, contested in Jharkhand an eligible electorate of 2,08,52,437, including 98,93,540 female voters. Out of the total seats, 28 are reserved for the Scheduled Tribes and nine for the Scheduled Castes.

Jharkhand, which has seen nine governments and three stints of President’s rule in 14 years, saw fractured mandates in both 2005 and 2009 assembly elections.

Most political observers and opinion polls are predicting a hung Assembly in Jammu and Kashmir. There are speculations about various political parties trying to work out an alliance, depending on the numbers thrown up tomorrow.

Mr. Omar’s National Conference, which was the single-largest part in 2008 polls winning 28 seats, is facing an uphill task to retain its position. PDP, which had 21 members in the 11th Assembly, is expecting to be the single-largest party, riding on the anti-incumbency and anger among the flood victims.

The ongoing elections will be a litmus test as much for BJP, which is making its first serious foray in Jammu and Kashmir to form a government, as for Congress, which will be hoping to stay relevant in the State politics following the massive rout in Lok Sabha polls earlier this year.

BJP launched an aggressive campaign as part of its ’Mission 44+’ — the magic number required for simple majority in the State Assembly — during which Prime Minister Narendra Modi and several top leaders of the party addressed election rallies across the State.

The party is hoping to make gains in the two States after wresting Haryana and Maharashtra two months ago.

Congress, which had 17 MLAs, on the other hand has softened the election rhetoric. Instead of claiming to be the single-largest party, the party leaders are maintaining that no government formation will be possible without Congress involvement.

National Conferenceand Congress, which were coalition partners for the past six years in the State but decided to go alone in the Assembly polls, fought a bitter war of words during the election campaign.

BJP, which contested in 72 seats, has a pre-poll alliance with the AJSU party which was in the fray in eight seats and Lok Janshakti party contested one seat.

Ruling JMM contested in 79 seats.Congress contested in 62 seats, RJD in 22 and JDU in 11.

Decision to Ban on alcohol rolled back by Kerela Government !!

The government of Kerala has taken up its earlier decision to ban the sale and consumption ofalcohol.

Chief Minister Oommen Chandy said the decision was taken to attract tourists and protect jobs.

In August, the authorities said nearly 700 bars and some shops would be shut in a move towards total prohibition to tackle the state's drink problem. Bar owners and hotels have challenged the order in court.

Kerala has India's highest per capita alcoholconsumption at more than eight litres per person yearly. The national annual average for alcohol consumption is estimated to be about 5.7 litres per person.

Doctors and activists have highlighted rising alcohol abuse, blaming it for many road accidents and even marital breakdown. They say hospitals and rehabilitation centres in Kerala are packed with patients suffering from alcohol-related diseases.

In its August order, the government said onlyluxury hotels were allowed to serve alcohol and introduced more alcohol-free days. Sundays too were made dry days.

 Mr Chandy now changed its government decision & said liquor stores would now remain open on Sundays and hotels would get license to sell light alcoholic beverages like wine and beer. He also added "Thousands of people have lost their jobs since the bars were shut down and 10 of them killed themselves." 

More than 20% of revenues in the state's annual budget come from alcohol sales and the ban has hit Kerala's 229bn-rupee tourism industry hard. Tour operators say there have been several cancellations, especially conferences on weekends, since the ban was imposed.

Volleyball player, Becomes the Most hated man in Pakistan after Peshawar attack ......

DERA ISMAIL KHAN!  Volly ball player  Becomes the most hated man in Pakistan is a 36-year-old father of three.

His real name is Umar Mansoor and the Pakistani Taliban say he masterminded this week's massacre of 132 children and nine staff at a school in Peshawar - the deadliest militant attack in Pakistan's history. A video posted on Thursday on a website used by the Taliban shows a man with a luxuriant chest-length beard, holding an admonishing finger aloft as he seeks to justify the Dec. 16 attack. The caption identified him as Umar Mansoor.

"If our women and children die as martyrs, your children will not escape," he said. "We will fight against you in such a style that you attack us and we will take revenge on innocents." The Taliban say the attack, in which gunmen wearing suicide-bomb vests executed children, was retaliation for a military offensive carried out by the Pakistani army. They accuse the military of carrying out extrajudicial killings.

The accusation is not new. Many courts have heard cases where men disappeared from the custody of security services. Some bodies have been found later, hands bound behind the back and shot in the head, or dismembered and stuffed into sacks. Some security officials say privately the courts are so corrupt and afraid, it is almost impossible to convict militants.

"You risk your life to catch terrorists and the courts always release them," said one official. "If you kill them then they don't come back."

The country is so inured to violence that the discovery of such bodies barely rates a paragraph in a local newspaper. Despite this, the school attack shocked a nation where traditionally, women and children are protected, even in war. Six Pakistani Taliban interviewed by Reuters confirmed the mastermind was Mansoor. Four of them said he is close to Mullah Fazlullah, the embattled leader of the fractious group who ordered assassins to kill schoolgirl activist Malala Yousafzai.

"He strictly follows the principles of jihad," one said. "He is strict in principles, but very kind to his juniors. He is popular among the juniors because of his bravery and boldness."

Mansoor got a high school education in the capital, Islamabad, two Taliban members said, and later studied in a madrassa, a religious school. "Umar Mansoor had a tough mind from a very young age, he was always in fights with other boys," said one Taliban member.

Mansoor has two brothers and spent some time working in the city of Karachi as a labourer before joining the Taliban soon after it was formed, in late 2007, said one commander. His nickname is "nary," a word in the Pashto language meaning "slim", and he is the father of two daughters and a son, said another commanders.

"(Mansoor) likes to play volleyball," said one of the Taliban members. "He is a good volleyball player. Wherever he shifts his office, he puts a volleyball net up."

The Taliban video describes him as the "amir", or leader, of Peshawar and nearby Darra Adam Khel. Mansoor deeply opposes talks with the government, the commanders said.

"He was very strict from the start when he joined," a commander said. "He left many commanders behind if they had a soft corner for the government."
