Anti-graft crusader and veteran social worker  Anna Hazare  on Wednesday said that there is no evidence of Gujarat chief minister  Narendra Modi  being communal. However, he said that he cannot support the BJP leader because he is associated with a political party. Addressing media persons, here on Wednesday, he said, “The purpose of his ‘Jantantra yatra’ is to bring back democracy in its true spirit and force the government to introduce the Lokpal Bill”. Referring to the large number of scams involving the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government, he said Prime Minister  Manmohan Singh  has no right to continue in his post, and he should resign on moral grounds. “When the multi-crore coal scam took place, he (PM) was also holding the additional charge of the coal ministry,” said Hazare.

The  Student of the Year  director shares about the respect he has for Shahrukh Khan “I met  Shah Rukh  first, but Gauri was always my friend. With him (Shahrukh) it was never friendship, but reverence.  Gauri  was my pal, my friend, my lifeline and nothing can ever change that. With Shah Rukh , there is always a line that you do not cross as you would not with your elder brother. If he walks into a room, I stand up and I will not sit till he sits.

I nod in approval and am very respectful of him. He and my father were friends and they had a connection.” - Karan Johar

On June 28, two noteworthy global events begin: the second round of the World Cup and Ramadan, the Islamic month observed by fasting. For some of the dozens of Muslim players on Algeria, France, and Germany, this will pose a problem: having to play world-class soccer after having abstained from food and water since sunup. As part of the Ramadan fast, all food and drink is prohibited between sunrise and sunset for the entire 30-day month.  Although some players are reportedly going to forgo the fast during the tournament,  others are going to adhere to it .  This is the first time the World Cup and Ramadan have overlapped  since 1986 . To people who don't fast, it probably seems inconceivable to play a whole game after many hours without food, let alone water  — but there's evidence that the  Muslim players who are used to fasting are  capable of effectively coping with it and maintaining their performance.
