#MAMATA BANERJEE
According to Salman Rushdie, Mamata Bannerjee ordered police to block his arrival at Kolkata. He left for UK without visiting the city.

The simple fact is that the Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee ordered the police to block my arrival.

.@swapanseth To be fair,Calcutta can't be held responsible for Mamata's doings just as Bombay can't be blamed for the Sena's antics @sandipr

Calcutta used to be the most liberal city in India. But now Salman Rushdie is not allowed to visit there. Mamata is ruining the state :(

#LOKPAL
The amended Lokpal Bill, which delinks the central government from creation of state Lokayuktas, was on Thursday approved by the Union Cabinet, paving the way for its consideration by Parliament.

Govt aided NGOs out of Lokpal because most of them are used as fronts by netas and babus to park their corrupt wealth!

Our demand from Parliament now can be: Govt not allowed to transfer officer investigating case ref by Lokpal! RS can pass this amendment!

Politicians, religious, charitable organisations left out of the ambit of govt's spineless Lokpal. Doesn't a lot of corruption happen here?
