Viki_J Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 ICC President Sharad Pawar slapped by Harvinder Singh in Delhi ICC President Sharad Pawar slapped by Harvinder Singh in Delhi:nervous: New Delhi: Nov 24, 2011 :Sharad Pawar the ICC President was slapped by Harvinder Singh in Delhi on Thursday. This is yet another instance of breach of security of VVIPs in recent times. 71-year-old Pawar, who went to a literary function at a public auditorium on Parliament Street, was slapped by Harvinder Singh, a transporter in his thirties who had assaulted former Telecom Minister Sukhram outside Rohini Court on Saturday after he was sentenced in a corruption case. Pawar lost his balance but remained unperturbed after the assault and moved towards the exit of the auditorium and got into his waiting car. Private security guards immediately overpowered the youth who was shouting "he is corrupt" and an official landed some blows on Singh. "I came planned to the event to slap the minister," Singh told reporters who had gone to cover the literary function. "All of them are corrupt," he shouted when he was removed from security and policemen. Wielding a small kirpan, the youth said things could have been worse but for the observance of martyrdom day of Guru Tegh Bahadur today. Later, Pawar reacted to the incident calling it stupid and that he did not make much out of it. When asked whether he would press charges against the attacker, he said it was for police to deal with the matter. Pawar said he saw the youth standing in the midst of a group of journalists and could have taken advantage of the fact that he has very little security. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh spoke to Pawar after the incident and condemned the attack. Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee also said that the attack on Pawar was "totally condemnable". Political parties condemned the attack on Pawar saying it was not acceptable in a democracy. Opposition parties, however, felt that government should be serious about tackling corruption and price rise which are of concern to people. But Congress spokesman Rashid Alvi blamed BJP statement on Tuesday that continued price rise in the "absence" of any concrete steps may become a reason for the people to vent their anger in the form of violence. "BJP has given a statement. This statement is responsible for today's incident," he told reporters. BJP spokesman Ravishankar Prasad condemned the attack and said the attacker should be punished. He also said the government has not been doing nothing on the price situation and the price of gas, petroleum, food and vegetables has been going up. Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav also spoke out against violence and said the attacker should be punished. The government also should take the price situation seriously, he said. Sharad Pawar became the International Cricket Council president after England's David Morgan in 2010. He also served as the President of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) from 2005 to 2008. (PTI)

Transporter? What kind of garbage journalism is this? So obsessed with the west and the terminologies are so friggin fake and lame. As for the incident, this might be the first time the public is actually supporting an attack of this nature. I'm sure Pawar saheb might be saying- "Thappad se darr nahi lagta sahab, Sardar se lagta hai".

Viki_J Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 LOLZ dude...:cantstop: I have no interest in Indian politics...but after reading some replies on the TOI link posted by Asterix and some youtube comments..most Indians seem to be happy about a common man slapping a corrupt politician...:two_thumbs_up: This Tight slap will make him a stronger Politician now :giggle: on news he is speechless :giggle: big insult for him :orderorder::ohmy:
Sachin=GOD Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 It's more of a frustration than protest...the only way thick skinned corrupt politicians of India would understand...no wonder many back home think he did right do you really think someone (especially one who is one of the senior most ministers in the Govt) would change his policy because of this?? If anything, it may well strengthen his resolve to do what he thinks is best rather than what the people want. These things do not affect such people because by tomorrow this incident would have been forgotten while the man who slapped him is in jail just because he could not control his anger/frustration and thought that this was the best way to show it.
bulbul Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 jai ho Sardarjee... Eventhough Pawar is Old man...i dont feel pity for this crook...

Rajiv Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 Slapping was OK, but getting kirpan out like that might not go well. I am afraid, Sharad will play his influence to nail the guy
jonas10 Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 Shame on disgusting times of India attempting to communalise this. What does the boy's religion matter? "Sikh youth attacks" what the hell this wasnt a religious attack his religion is irrelevant.
Andrew Peter Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 Shame on disgusting times of India attempting to communalise this. What does the boy's religion matter? "Sikh youth attacks" what the hell this wasnt a religious attack his religion is irrelevant. Sahi baat hai . Mager woh c****a harvinder khud bhi bhonk raha tha ki " Today is Gurus Martyrdom day and I have come fully prepared to sacrifice my life here , one sikh is equivalent to Million Bla Bla Bla " . That ****** himself was giving it a religious angle more than anyone else , the manner in which he took out his Kirpan seemed like he was up against Aurangzeb instead of some 71 years old weak man who inspite of being highly corrupt doesnt deserve to be treated in such a manner .
jonas10 Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 Despite what he said shame on TOI for sensationalizing this. His religion is irrelevant in the story. He is fed up with corruption and attacked the troll. Some are on the side of the troll some are not.
