Gorkha leader Madan Tamang killed in Darjeeling.

Darjeeling: All India Gorkha League President Madan Tamang died on Friday after being allegedly attacked by Gorkha Janamukti Morcha (GJM) supporters in Darjeeling. Police say Tamang was attacked with sharp weapons and was being taken to Siliguri for further treatment when he succumbed to his injuries.

"Tamang was attacked near Planters' Club this morning when he was supervising the arrangements for a meeting to be held later in the day. Miscreants hit him with khukris and swords, wounding him on the shoulder and stomach," Inspector General of Police (North Bengal) KL Tamta said.

Tamang was preparing for a Gorkha meeting at Planters' Club in Darjeeling which was scheduled to take place later on Friday.

Tamta said All India Gorkha League initially decided to hold the meeting at Darjeeling Chowrasta but later shifted the venue due to opposition from GJM.

Tamang had been opposing GJM's stand on a interim set-up for Darjeeling hills and demanded Gorkhaland instead. Tension prevailed in Darjeeling following the attack with shops and markets closing down.

'Kites' banned in Karnataka.

Heartbreak for all the Hrithik Roshan fans in Karnataka as his latest movie Kites has been withdrawn from theatres after a call of boycott by the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC).

Reason? KFCC accuses producer Rakesh Roshan of flouting the norms of the release of non-Kannada films in the state.

According to the norm, ‘Kites’ was given a special permission to release on 24 theatres, but exhibitor Big Cinemas planned to release it on 46 theatres. Normally, non-Kannada films are allowed release only on 21 theatres.

A meeting was called on Thursday to find a solution, but producer Rakesh Roshan gave it a miss.

KFCC President Basant Kumar Patil is quoted as saying: “There was a meeting but Rakesh Roshan did not turn up. But we are the supreme body and they can't violate the norms.”

In the past, Hindi films like 3 Idiots and My Name Is Khan have released in Karnataka in less than 24 theatres.

Kites Movie Review: Hrithik Roshan, Barbara Mori, Kangna Ranaut‎....

Much awaited Kites movie has been released On this Friday (May 21). Earlier, Kites movie star cast Hrithik Roshan super star of Bollywood, and Barbara Mori actress from Mexico, were gaga about all around for the Kites for its unique love story and technologically advance actions scenes; this Kites movie review will give you all the details. Kites has been released in two versions, on in 90 minutes remixed format which is named Kites: The Remix and other 130 minutes format which is named Kites.
Before the Kites movie release, people have witnessed soaring consecutive Kites movie controversy regarding behind the scenes romance between Barbara Mori and Hrithik Roshan, and more recent, his break-up with Barbara in

Cannes and coming out as henpecked husband.Well Kites movie controversy aside, coming over to the Kites movie review again, now, movie has launched and it has certainly to some extent pleased the great words of Hrithik and Barbara, nevertheless, it losses the attention substantially, as story reveals and we come to know that this is something we have seen in Hollywood movies without songs and dance.

Kites movie romantic scene takes the toll in the Kites movie, and Kites movie story is far from the logic, reason and reality, and the only thing believable in the story is ‘Love’. Hrithik is a salsa teacher in Las Vegas, who have a dedicated student in Ranaut as Gia, who is the daughter of the Mexican richest gangster. They’re about to marry each other, when Hrithik as Jay, sees his future brother-in-law’s fiancee Natasha as Barbara. Herein the conflict infuses and story moves to give us some of best actions scenes ever made in Bollywood.

Kites movie songs and dance, makes the Kites movie roll and rock, and Hrithik dance is really best, which audience will be excited to see. Rakesh Rashon has given good music, and smooth music ‘Zindagi..do pal ki’ is really beautiful, but somehow, music is rated average. Anurag Basu experiential hand in love and romance is again witnessed in Kites similarly like in Gangster.

Kites movie star cast Barbara and Hrithik love scenes are beautiful and assert their chaste love with strictly directed intimate scenes of romance which is never consummated in Kites movie. Any Poet will say that its a poetic experience watching this movie and tag it as must watch movie for escape from real live love experience to adorned and flowery pure love.

Jaswant Singh may return to BJP.

Nine months after he was expelled from BJP for publishing a book lavishing praise on Mohammad Ali Jinnah, former Union minister Jaswant Singh is set to return to the party.

Mr Jaswant Singh, who was elected to the Lok Sabha from Darjeeling in the general election held last year, has since his ouster from BJP been in political hibernation.

All that may end soon, thanks to the efforts of former deputy prime minister L K Advani, who has been egging on his party colleagues to re-embrace the former Union minister.

A formal announcement about the decision to reinduct Mr Jaswant Singh is, however, likely to be made only after BJP president Nitin Gadkari’s return from his European tour.

The ice between the veteran leaders was broken when Mr Advani invited his estranged colleague to accompany him to Jaipur last week to attend former vice-president Bhairon Singh Shekhawat’s cremation.

“I think it was very courteous of Advaniji to invite me to join him and some of his other colleagues who were going to Jaipur for Bhairon Singhji’s cremation. I was very touched that Advaniji asked me to go with him,” Mr Jaswant Singh told a news channel on Friday.

“I find that this is a commodity that is essential between colleagues who have worked together. Why should all of it automatically be attempted to be poured into a jar of political convenience,” he asked.

When asked whether he was returning to the BJP, the Darjeeling MP replied. “I’m not affirming. Did I?” On being asked whether he felt he still belonged to BJP, he said: “I spent 32 year there (BJP). How can I get it out of my blood stream?”

He, however, was unapologetic about his biography on Jinnah. “Oh no, absolutely not, certainly not. That (the book) is an expression of my views.”

It was the publication of the book “Jinnah: India Partition Independence” which had led to his ouster from BJP on August 19 last year. The party had simultaneously disassociated itself from Mr Jaswant Singh’s assessment of Jinnah, as also Sardar Patel, the country’s first home minister.

However, while Mr Advani may have succeeded in persuading his party colleagues to take back Mr Jaswant Singh, he had no such luck in his attempts to facilitate the return of another estranged colleague, former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Uma Bharti.

The mercurial leader’s endeavour to snuggle herself back into the party fold — she quit the outfit she had earlier formed, the Bharatiya Janashakti Party to signal her readiness to return to the BJP — was resisted by all the senior leaders, as also by almost the entire Madhya Pradesh unit.

Reports of her possible return to BJP was opposed by almost all the top-ranking leaders in the state, who felt that she’ll make things difficult for chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.

Mr Advani also appears to have upset the BJP’s Bihar unit, and its coalition arrangement with the JD(U), by trying to impress upon them the need to induct another former Union minister Mr Digvijay Singh into the party.

The Banka MP shares a very hostile relationship with chief minister Nitish Kumar, and was one of the co-sponsors of the Kisan Mahapanchayat — a platform of upper caste leaders opposed to the chief minister — held earlier this month in Patna.
