سرینگر سے 48کلومیٹر کے فاصلے پر سوپور میں 6 جنوری 1993ء کے دن بھارتی فوجیوں کے ہاتھوں بے گناہ لوگوں کے قتل عام اور ان کے مکانات اور دکانوں کو جلا کر خاکستر کرنے کی برسی منائی گئی۔ اس دن بھارتی فوجیوں کی گولیوں سے کم ازکم ساٹھ بے گناہ کشمیری شہید ہوئے جبکہ سینکڑوں مکانات، دکانیں اور کروڑوں روپے مالیت کی جائیدادوں کو جلا کر خاک کر دیا گیا۔ فوجیوں نے یہ کارروائی اپنے ایک ساتھی کے زخمی ہونے اور اسکی رائفل چھن جانے کیخلاف انتقام لینے کیلئے کی۔
اس خونی واقعہ کے 19 سال گزرنے کے بعد بھی لوگ 6 جنوری 1993ء کو پیش آنیوالے قتل عام اور تباہ کاریوں کو نہیں بھول سکے۔ اس دن سوپور کی مارکیٹوں کو نوے منٹ کے اندر جلا کر زمین بوس کر دیا گیا۔ ڈیڑھ گھنٹے کی مدت میں ہزاروں دکانوں اور مکانات کو آگ لگا کر تباہ کرنے کے علاوہ کم ازکم ساٹھ افراد جن میں مرد، خواتین اور بچے شامل تھے شہید کر دیئے گئے جن میں سے کئی بھارتی فوجیوں نے زندہ جلا دیئے۔ اس واقعے کے ایک عینی شاہد محمد رمضان نے بتایا کہ لوگ جو جلتے ہوئے مکانوں اور دکانوں میں پھنسے ہوئے تھے مدد کیلئے چیخ وپکار کر رہے تھے لیکن کوئی بھی ان کی مدد کیلئے نہیں پہنچ رہا تھااور نہ ہی سول حکام اور پولیس نے انہیں بچانے کی کوشش کی۔ بھارتی فوجیوں نے یہ قتل عام ایک سوچے سمجھے منصوبے کے تحت کیا۔ جب فوجیوں نے چاروں طرف سے فائرنگ شروع کر دی تو لوگ پناہ لینے کیلئے دکانوں میں گھس گئے لیکن فوجیوں نے دکانوں کو آگ لگا دی جس سے کئی افراد زندہ جل گئے۔ ایک خاتون نے اپنے بچے کیساتھ ایک دکان میں پناہ لینے کی کوشش کی لیکن فوجیوں نے اسکا بچہ اس سے چھین کر آگ میں پھینک دیا اور بعد ازاں اسے بھی گولی مار کر شہید کر دیا۔ ایک اور عینی شاہد غلام رسول نے بتایا کہ فوجیوں نے ایک مسافر بس کو روک کر اس میں سوار تمام مسافروں کو ہلاک کر دیا۔ علاقے کے لوگ تین دن تک جلے ہوئے مکانات اور دکانوں کے ملبے سے لاشیں نکالتے رہے۔ اس واقعے کیخلاف کئی دن تک زبردست مظاہرے کئے گئے لیکن مجرموں کیخلاف کوئی کارروائی نہیں کئی گئی۔
January 6, : In occupied Kashmir, massacre in Sopore town 19 years back, when the apple town witnessed the worst incident of arson at the hands of troopers of Border Security Forces leading to death of at least 57 people, a dozen of them roasted alive, besides reducing 350 shops and residential houses to rubble and ashes on 6 January, 1993.
The ‘Time’ magazine had titled the news report (on January 18, 1993) “Blood tide rising: Indian forces carry out one of the worst massacres in Kashmir’s history.” The publication described the massacre, and the protests that ensued thus: “Perhaps there is a special corner in hell reserved for troopers who fire their weapons indiscriminately into a crowd of unarmed civilians. That, at least, must have been the hope of every resident who defied an army-enforced curfew in the Kashmiri town of Sopore to protest a massacre that left 55 people dead and scores injured.”
The memories of the bloodiest of the massacres carried against the civilian population in Valley remains fresh in hearts and minds of the people particularly denizens of the apple town even after eighteen years.
The local residents regard the incident as one of the worst massacres in the history of Kashmir.
“I cannot forget that horrendous incident till I am alive; the troops were on rampage; I lost two relatives in the incident,” said Ali Muhammad, an eyewitness and survivor of the carnage. “I wonder can doomsday be worse,” he says.

پاکستان اورخطے کو بھارتی عزائم سے لاحق خطرات Pakistan ore khitay ko bharati azaem se lahaq khatrat by Gen mirza Aslam baig مرزا اسلم بیگ (retired chief of army staff)
اردو,انڈیا,تحقیق,حالات حاضرہ. Tags: bharat toot jaye ga,how india will end,India will end,Khalistan,بھارت ٹوٹ جائے گا
بھارت شاید دنیا کا وہ واحد ملک ہے جسکے اپنے کسی بھی ہمسایہ ملک سے تعلقات اچھے نہیں ہیں۔قریبا نصف صدی قبل آزاد ہونے والا یہ ملک غربت افلاس اور لا قانونیت کا مر کز بن کر رہ گیا ہے۔درحقیقت بھارت کا سماجی نظام ذات پات کی ایسی بندشوں میں جکڑاہوا ہے جس سے چھٹکارا پاناشاید اسکے لیے کبھی بھی ممکن نہیں۔اگرچہ بھارت اپنے آپ کو دنیا کے سامنے ایک خالصتا سیکولر سٹیٹ بنا کر پیش کر نے کی کوشش کر تا ہے لیکن بابری مسجد کے انہدام ،گولڈن ٹمپل اور سب سے بڑھ کرمسئلہ کشمیر جیسے مسائل نے اسکے چہرے سے سیکولریت کا نقاب اتار دیا ہے۔بھارت میں ماؤ نواز باغیوں پہ جو ظلم وستم کیا جارہا ہے اسکی مثال ہندوستان کی تاریخ میں نہیں ملتی۔اب دنیا بھارت کا حقیقی مکروہ چہرہ دیکھ چکی ہے۔اسکا اندازہ حالیہ ہونے والے ایک معمولی واقعے سے بھی لگایا جا سکتا ہے۔جب انگلینڈ نے کشمیر میںکی جانے والی انسانی حقوق کی خلاف ورزیوں کی وجہ سے بھارت کے فوجیوں کو ویزہ دینے سے انکار کر دیا۔یہ بھارت کے لیے ڈوب مر نے کا مقام تھا مگر کہتے ہیں شرم بھی انکو آتی ہے جن کے اندر تھوڑی بہت انسانیت ہو۔ جب سے بھارت آزاد ہوا ہے یہ برہمن سامراج کے خونی پنجوں میں جکڑا ہوا ہے۔برہمن سامراج نے نہ صرف بھارت میں بسنے والے مسلمان ،سکھ اور عیسائیوں کا جینا دوبھر کر رکھا ہے بلکے نچلی ذات کے ہندوں بھی انکی انسانیت سوز حرکتوں سے محفوظ نہیں۔
سکھوں کی علیحدہ ریاست خالصتان کا نقشہ
بھارتی معاشرہ جس اخلاقی گرؤٹ کا شکار نظر آتا ہے اس سے اس بات کا بخوبی اندازہ ہو جاتا ہے کہ بھارت کا مستقبل کیا ہوگا۔ایک حالیہ سروے کے مطابق جسم فروشی اور ہم جنس پر ستی کی وجہ سے دنیا میں سب سے زیادہ ایڈز سے متاثرہ افراد بھارت میں پائے جاتے ہیں۔معاشرتی تفریق کا یہ عالم ہے کہ ایک طرف سرمایہ دار اربوں روپیہ فلمیں بنانے پہ لگا دیتے ہیںتو دوسری طرف غریبوں کو دو وقت کی روٹی بھی نصیب نہیںہے۔افلاس کا یہ عالم ہے کہ بھوک سے تنگ آئے لوگ خوراک کی تلاش میںچیونٹیوں کی بلیں تک اکھاڑ دیتے ہیں۔جہالت کا یہ عالم لوگ آج بھی وہاں کتوں اور بندروں سے شادیاں کر لیتے ہیں۔انکا خیال ہے کہ اس سے وہ بلاؤں اور آنے والے خطرات سے محفوظ رہتے ہیں۔برہمن سامران کی ذہنی پستی کا اندازہ آپ اس بات سے لگا لیںوہ لوگ گائے کا پیشاب پوتر سمجھ کر نہ صرف پیتے ہیںبلکہ کولڈ ڈرنکس کی طرح باقاعدہ ٹن پیک میں اسے بیچا بھی جاتا ہے۔اور ہندو آبادی اسے کسی آب حیات کی طرح استعمال کر تی ہے۔بالکل اسی سے ملتی جلتی صورت حال دریائے گنگا کے پانی کے ساتھ بھی ہے ۔یہ وہ در یاہے جدھر ہندو اپنے مردوں کی خاک بہاتے ہیں ۔بین الاقوامی ادارہ صحت کے مطابق اس دریا کا پانی مسلسل مردوں کی خاک بہانے کی وجہ سے انسانی صحت کے لیے انتہائی مضر ہو چکا ہے ۔مگر ہندو نہ صرف اس پانی کو متبرک سمجھ کر پیتے ہیں بلکہ خود کو گناہوں سے پاک کر نے کے لیے اس پانی سے اشنان بھی کرتے ہیں۔
جدھر تک تعلق بھارت کے خاندانی نظام کا ہے تو بھارت میں آپکو ایسے بہت سے علاقے مل جائیں گے جدھر ایک عورت کئی کئی شوہر رکھتی ہے۔
اسوقت دنیا میں سب سے زیادہ علیحدگی کی تحریکیں بھارت میں چل رہی ہیں۔ان تحریکوں میں ایک تحریک تو سکھوں کے خالصتان کی تحریک ہے۔یہ تحریک ان غیرت مند سکھوں کی شروع کی ہوئی ہے جو ہندوسامراج کا حقیقی چہرہ دیکھ چکے تھے ۔بھارت نے ایک عرصے سے سکھوں کو نہ صرف دبا رکھا تھا بلکہ انکی برین واشنگ کا سلسلہ بھی شروع کر رکھا تھا۔اگر چہ سکھوں نے بھارت کے لیے بہت کچھ کیالیکن بھارت میں آج تک سکھوں کو لاشوں اور گولیوںکے سوا کچھ نہ ملا۔خاس طور پہ گولڈن ٹمپل کے واقعے میں توانڈین آرمی نے سکھوں کو چن چن کر گولی ماری ۔اور صرف یہی نہیںبلکہ ا ن کے حقیقی کلچر کو ختم کر کے سکھوں کے تضحیک آمیز لطیفے بنانے کاکام بھی بھارت سے شروع ہوا ۔یہی وجہ ہے کہ آج پوری سکھ قوم خالصتان کے آزادی کے لیے تیار بیٹھی ہے۔اور کئی ایک دلیر سکھ رہنماء تو پاکستان آکر میڈیا پہ بر ملا یہ کہہ چکے ہیںا
گر اس بار پاکستان اور بھارت کی جنگ ہوئی تو وہ پاکستان کا ساتھ دی گے۔دوسری طرف برہمن سامراج کے ستائے ہوئے نکسلائیڈز کی علحدگی پسند تحریک بھی بھارت میں اپنی جڑیں مضبوط کر چکی ہے۔آسام اور بنگال کے ستائے ہوئے لوگ بھی آئے روز بھارت میں پاکستان کاپرچم لہرا دیتے ہیں۔
بھارت کے ظلم و ستم سے ستائے لوگوں کا خواب
پاکستان دراصل بھارت کے پسے ہوئے مظلوم طبقے کی آخری امید بن چکا ہے۔اگر چہ پاکستان اسوقت خود بھی چند ایک داخلی مسائل کا شکار ہے ۔لیکن پھر بھی بھارتی ظلم و ستم کا شکار لوگ اور چھوٹے ممالک جیسے نیپال اور بھوٹان وغیرہ اپنی آخری امید کے طور پہ پاکستان ہی کی طرف دیکھتے ہیں۔ اور صرف یہی نہیں بلکہ بھارت کا مسلسل بڑھتا ہوا جنگی بجٹ اور جنگی جنون خطے کے امن کے لیے بڑاخطرہ بن چکا ہے۔جس وجہ سے چارو ناچار خطے میں طاقت کا توازن قائم رکھنے کے لیے پاکستان کو بھی اپنا جنگی بجٹ بڑھانا پڑ رہا ہے۔اس لیے دنیا کو کسی بھی بڑی ایٹمی جنگ سے بچانے کے لیے ضروری ہے خالصتان اور دوسرے علحدگی پسندوں کے علاقوں کو بھارتی تسلط سے نجات دلانے میں انکا ساتھ دیا جائے۔
Looking at the tragic events of March 1971 in retrospect, I must confess that even I, although my press service commanded a sizeable network of district correspondents in the interior of East Pakistan, was not fully aware of the scale, ferocity and dimension of the province-wide massacre of the non-Bengalis.
Mukti Bahini trained by the Indian Army to conduct terror in Muslim Bengal
I must stress, with all the force and sincerity at my command, that this bock is not intended to be a racist indictment of the Bengalis as a nation. In writing and publishing this book, I am not motivated by any revanchist obsession or a wish to condemn my erstwhile Bengali compatriots as a nation. Just as it is stupid to condemn the great German people for the sins of the Nazis, it would be foolish to blame the Bengali people as a whole for the dark deeds of the Awami League militants and their accomplices.
I have incorporated in this book the acts of heroism and courage of those brave and patriotic Bengalis who sheltered and protected, at great peril to themselves, their terror-stricken non-Bengali friends and neighbours. On the basis of the heaps of eye-witness accounts, which I have carefully read, sifted and analysed, I do make bold to say that the vast majority of Bengalis disapproved of and was not a party to the barbaric atrocities inflicted on the hapless non-Bengalis by the Awami League’s terror machine and the Frankensteins and vampires it unloosed. This silent majority, it seemed, was awed, immobilised and neutralised by the terrifying power, weapons and ruthlessness of a misguided minority hell-bent on accomplishing the secession of East Pakistan.
Jessore murders of Biharis by Mukti Bahani blamed on Pakistani Army
The sheaves of eye-witness accounts, documented in this book, prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that the massacre of West Pakistanis, Biharis and other non-Bengalis in East Pakistan had begun long before the Pakistan Army took punitive action against the rebels late in the night of March 25, 1971. It is also crystal clear that the Awami League’s terror machine was the initiator and executor of the genocide against the non-Bengalis which exterminated at least half a million of them in less than two months of horror and trauma. Many witnesses have opined that the federal Government acted a bit too late against the insurgents. The initial success of the federal military action is proved by the fact that in barely 30 days, the Pakistan Army, with a combat strength of 38,717 officers and men in East Pakistan, had squelched the Awami League’s March-April, 1971, rebellion all over the province.
Typical of the open-air, human abattoirs operated by the Awami League-led rebels in East Pakistan in 1971 is this photograph of multiple-executions done by a Mukti-Bahini killer squad in Dacca Race Course. The pro-Pakistan Bengali and non-Bengali victims were tortured before being slain. The hundreds of eye-witnesses from towns and cities of East Pakistan, whose testimonies are documented in this book, are unanimous in reporting that the slaughter of West Pakistanis, Biharis, and other non-Bangalis and of some pro-Pakistan Bengalis had begun in the early days of the murderous month of March 1971.

Eye gouging and burning the skin of Biharis by Uniformed Mukti Bahani soldieraided and abetted by Indian Army
The 170 eye-witnesses, whose testimonies or interviews are contained in this book in abridged form have been chosen from a universe of more than 5,000 repatriated non-Bengali families. I had identified, after some considerable research, 55 towns and cities in East Pakistan where the abridgement of the non-Bengali population in March and early April 1971 was conspicuously heavy. The collection and compilation of these eye-witness accounts was started in January 1974 and completed in twelve weeks. A team of four reporters, commissioned for interviewing the witnesses from all these 55 towns and cities of East Pakistan, worked with intense devotion to secure their testimony. Many of the interviews were prolonged because the Witnesses broke down in a flurry of sobs and tears as they related the agonising stories of their wrecked lives. I had issued in February 1974 an appeal in the newspapers for such eye-witness accounts, and I am grateful to the many hundreds of witnesses who promptly responded to my call. A scene of Mukti Bahini mass murder of Biharis in Dacca on December 18, 1971. A rebel soldier lifts his boot to strike a bleeding bayoneted boy who showed signs of life. Dead bodies of other slain non-Bengalis lie in the foreground.

“I am the lone survivor of a group of ten Pathans who were employed as Security Guards by the Delta Construction Company in the Mohakhali locality in Dacca; all the others were slaughtered by the Bengali rebels in the night of March 25, 1971”, said 40-year-old Bacha Khan.
“I heard the screams of an Urdu-speaking girl who was being ravished by her Bengali captors but I was so scared that I did not have the courage to emerge from hiding” said a 24-year-old Zahid Abdi, who was employed in a trading firm in Dacca. He escaped the slaughter of the non-Bengalis in the crowded New Market locality of Dacca on March 23, 1971 and was sheltered by a God-fearing Bengali in his shop. The killers raped their non-Bengali teenage victim at the back of the shop and later on slayed her.

The pro-Pakistan Bengali and non-Bengali victims were tortured before being slain
“My only daughter has been insane since she was forced by her savage tormentors to watch the brutal murder of her husband”, said Mukhtar Ahmed Khan, 43, while giving an account of his suffering during the Ides of March 1971 in Dacca….“In the third week of March 1971, a gang of armed Bengali rebels raided house of my son-in-law and overpowered him. He was a courageous Youngman and he resisted the attackers. My daughter also resisted the attackers but they were far too many and they were well armed. They tied up my son-in-law and my daughter with ropes and they forced her to watch as they slit the throat of her husband and ripped his stomach open in the style of butchers. She fainted and lost consciousness. Since that dreadful day she has been mentally ill.”
Shamim Akhtar, 28, whose husband was employed as a clerk in the Railway office in Dacca, lived in a small house in the Mirpur locality there.
She described her tragedy in these words:
“On December 17, 1971, the Mukti Bahini cut off the water supply to our homes. We used to get water from a nearby pond; it was polluted and had a bad odour. I was nine months pregnant. On December 23, 1971, I gave birth to a baby girl. No midwife was available and my husband helped me at child birth. Late at night, a gang of armed Bengalis raided our house, grabbed my husband and trucked him away. I begged them in the name of God to spare him as I could not even walk and my children were too small. The killers were heartless and I learnt that they murdered my husband. After five days, they returned and ordered me and my children to vacate the house as they claimed that it was now their property.”
Zaibunnissa Haq, 30, whose journalist husband, Izhar-ul-Haque, worked as a columnist in the Daily Watan in Dacca, gave this account of her travail in 1971: A copy of the ads and the forms used for soliciting testimony from the victims. “….On December 21, a posse of Mukti Bahini soldiers and some thugs rode into our locality with blazing guns and ordered us to leave our house as, according to them, no Bihari could own a house in Bangladesh. For two days, we lived on bare earth in an open space and we had nothing to eat. Subsequently, we were taken to a Relief Camp by the Red Cross.”
In Pubail and Tangibari, the Awami League militants and their rebel confederates murdered dozens of affluent Biharis. Shops owned by the Biharis were favourite target of attack.
“Four armed thugs dragged two captive non-Bengali teenage girls into an empty bus and violated their chastity before gunning them to death”, said Gulzar Hussain, 38, who witnessed the massacre of 22 non-Bengali men, women and children on March 21, 1971, close to a bus stand in Narayangang. Repatriated to Karachi in November 1973, Gulzar Hussain reported: “….On March 21, our Dacca-bound bus was stopped on the way, soon after it left the heart of the city. I was seated in the front portion of the bus and I saw that the killer gang had guns, scythes and daggers. The gunmen raised ‘Joi Bangla’ and anti-Pakistan slogans. The bus driver obeyed their signal to stop and the thugs motioned to the passengers to get down. A jingo barked out the order that Bengalis and non-Bengalis should fall into separate lines. As I spoke Bengali with a perfect Dacca accent and could easily pass for a Bengali, I joined the Bengali group of passengers. The killer gang asked us to utter a few sentences in Bengali which we did. I passed the test and our tormentors instructed the Bengalis to scatter. The thugs then gunned all the male non-Bengalis. It was a horrible scene. Four of the gunmen took for their loot two young non-Bengali women and raped them inside the empty bus. After they had ravished the girls, the killers shot them and half a dozen other women and children.”
She described her tragedy in these words:
As the victim did not die in a single bayonet strike, another Mukti-Bahini killer plunged his bayonet in to the writhing Bihari’s chest. Dead bodies of Bihari and Bengali victims lie strewn over the execution ground as Mukti-Bahini killers and their accomplices watch the butchery with sadist pleasure.
“On December 17, 1971, the Mukti Bahini cut off the water supply to our homes. We used to get water from a nearby pond; it was polluted and had a bad odour. I was nine months pregnant. On December 23, 1971, I gave birth to a baby girl. No midwife was available and my husband helped me at child birth. Late at night, a gang of armed Bengalis raided our house, grabbed my husband and trucked him away. I begged them in the name of God to spare him as I could not even walk and my children were too small. The killers were heartless and I learnt that they murdered my husband.

For two days, we lived on bare earth in an open space and we had nothing to eat. Subsequently, we were taken to a Relief Camp by the Red Cross.”
Nasima Khatoon, 25, lived in a rented house in the Pancho Boti locality in Narayanganj. Her husband, Mohammad Qamrul Hasan, was employed in a Vegetable Oil manufacturing factory. Repatriated to Karachi in January 1974, along with her 4-year-old orphaned daughter, from a Red Cross Camp in Dacca, Nasima gave this hair-raising account of her travail in 1971: A Bihari victim grabbed by Mukti-Bahini killers, begging for mercy.
“At gun point, our captors made us leave our house and marched us to an open square where more than 500 non –Bengali old men, women and children were detained. Some 50 Bengali gunmen led us through swampy ground towards a deserted school building. On the way, the 3-year-old child of a hapless captive woman died in her arms. She asked her captors to allow her to dig a small grave and bury the child. The tough man in the lead snorted a sharp ‘NO’, snatched the body of the dead child from her wailing mother and tossed it into the river”
The Awami League’s rebellion of March 1971 took the heaviest toll of non-Bengali lives in the populous port city of Chittagong. Although the Government of Pakistan’s White Paper of August 1971 on the East Pakistan crisis estimated the non-Bengali death toll in Chittagong and its neighbouring townships during the Awami League’s insurrection to be a little under 15,000, the testimony of hundreds of eye-witnesses interviewed for this book gives the impression that more than 50,000 non-Bengalis perished in the March 1971 carnage. Thousands of dead bodies were flung into the Karnaphuli river and the Bay of Bengal.
Savage killings also took place in the Halishahar, Kalurghat and Pahartali localities where the Bengali rebel soldiers poured petrol and kerosine oil around entire blocks, igniting them with flame-throwers and petrol-soaked jute balls, then mowed down the non-Bengali innocents trying to escape the cordons of fire. In the wanton slaughter in the last week of March and early April, 1971, some 40,000 non-Bengalis perished in Chittagong and its neighbourhood. The exact death toll, which could possibly be much more will never be known because of the practice of burning dead bodies or dumping them in the river and the sea.
The uniformed killer puffing the cigarette to singe the eyes of the terrified prey. Eye gouging and burning the skin of victims was a favourite torture method of the rebels.
26 Mar 2010 ... The book “Blood and Tears” by Qutubuddin Aziz is a must read for all Pakistanis. It is based on the crimes committed by Indian-trained Mukti Bahini terrorists...

Workers are removing rain water, scraping dirt and painting walls at the Commonwealth Games Village as India races to set things right a week before the start of the event.
The October 3-14 Games were supposed to enhance India’s image of a rising power, but shoddy construction, filthy accommodation and security fears have underlined governance and accountability issues, hurting the runaway pride of Asia’s third largest economy. Several top athletes, including world champion sprinter Usain Bolt, have pulled out, taking away some of the shine from the event held every four years for former British colonies.
On Sunday, Indian organising committee officials met to review the work at the Games Village where masons plastered walls while workers struggled to dry out the basement of the Village which sits on the flooded plains of the Yamuna river. “All finishing work is going on in full swing,” Dalbir Singh, Mayor of the Games Village said. “It’s a world class facility with some minor issues and work is going on to fix those problems.”
Indeed, most of the 34 apartment blocks are gleaming and spacious and fitted with Italian marble. But much of what is good about the facility has been overshadowed by athletes’ complaints of filth and unfinished work in some of the living quarters.
While the Games finally seem to be coming together after the intervention of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, glitches remained. The Times Now news channel said about 150 apartments were unliveable. Indian boxer Akhil Kumar was in shock when his bed caved in on Saturday. It was found the mattress had just been placed on the bed frame without any support beneath.
“Labourers have done a very bad job. They had spit ‘paan’ (chewing tobacco) on the walls, stains of which are almost unremovable,” Lalit Bhanot, secretary general of the Games organising committee, said.
“We are identifying rooms which are dirty and shutting them down. But we have adequate rooms so there is nothing to worry.”
The Games are estimated to have cost $6 billion. India was awarded the event in 2003 but did not begin proper preparations until two years ago. Michael Fennell, chief of Commonwealth Games Federation, has said India’s image has taken a beating.
Athletes from 11 countries have arrived so far and contingents from seven more nations, including New Zealand and Canada which had delayed their arrival, are expected on Sunday.
India had hoped to use the Games to display its growing global economic and political influence, rivalling neighbour China which put on a spectacular 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics.
Instead, they have become a major embarrassment for the world’s largest democracy, where infrastructure projects have progressed slowly and are a drag on economic growth.
Desperate officials on Friday asked the Indian Army to build a temporary bridge to replace the $1.1 million footbridge that collapsed last week. The bridge, providing access to the main Jawaharlal Nehru stadium, should be finished within five days.
The bridge collapse and a suspected militant attack on two foreign visitors threw the Games into crisis. An outbreak of dengue has only compounded worries.
So, India bribed the world to host this grand event... with no preparations, no planning.... NOTHING! India was not worth all this attention, and the world is seeing it now!
Even Indians consider Dopatta as a weapon of terrorism…………
So many cowards behind a single journalist………………………………. Freedom of speech vocalists are silent here
