Katrina named world’s sexiest Asian woman
MUMBAI, DEC 08 -
Her absence from the big screen for a year has not stopped Bollywood
beauty Katrina Kaif from winning the world’s sexiest Asian woman title
for the fourth consecutive year in a poll by a weekly magazine.The actress narrowly defeated Priyanka Chopra, TV star Drashti Dhami and current Box Office queen Deepika Padukone. She secured the top spot in the world-renowned ‘50 Sexiest
Asian Women List 2013’ with Chopra coming second, Dhami third and Padukone fourth.
A permanent fixture in the top three for the past six years, Kaif beat off competition from the world’s most stunning Asian women in the tenth edition of UK based newspaper’s definitive Sexy List. The fourth win comes just weeks before Katrina hits the big screen again in one of the year’s biggest Bollywood releases Dhoom 3: Back In Action. “I didn’t know it was a record! That’s a nice surprise and a lot of fun to hear,” Katrina said.
Like last year, the biggest surprise of 2013 list was the sheer dominance of television actresses from India. Dhami added to a dream year by becoming the first television actress to crack the top three while her friend Sanaya Irani entered the top 10 for the first time at sixth position.
The highest new entry was Aashiqui 2 star Shraddha Kapoor (12), who narrowly missed out the top 10. The highest placed Pakistani was Humaima Malick (15) and the only non-Indian in the list was Anger Management star Noureen DeWulf (10).
BRB furious over arrest of murder accused
KATHMANDU, DEC 08 -
UCPN (Maoist) leader Babruram Bhattarai has reacted furiously over the
arrest of local Parshuram Poudel in connection with the murder of Krishna Prasad Adhikari . UCPN (M) leader and former prime minister expressed serious reservations over the arrest of Poudel through his social networking site Facebook.
In his Facebook post, Bhattrai came down heavily upon the government saying that the latter had done a condemnable act by arresting Poudel, arguing that such war-time cases should be handled by Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
He charged that the government action was spurred by 'some elements who are against peace and reconciliation'.
Chitwan District Police had arrested Poudel on Friday from his residence at Saradpur in Chitwan. Krishna Prasad Adhikari
, a native of Gorkha Fujel-7, was abducted and murdered by the alleged Maoist cadres during the insurgency in Chitwan.
Bhattarai went on to challenge the government to arrest him, maintaining that all war-time cases should be resolved in tandem.
Adhikari's parents—Nanda Prasad and Ganga Maya—have been staging hunger strike in Kathmandu, demanding the government book the killers of their son.

Delhi election results: Congress out, BJP gets a scare from AAP
NEW DELHI, DEC 08 -
After 15 long years in power the Congress was headed for a rout in
Delhi, with the BJP on the winning track, but it was debutante Aam Aadmi
Party (AAP) that put up a spectacular show in the battle for the
70-member assembly.After result trends showed a clear end to the Congress rule, Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit
conceded defeat and submitted her resignation to Lt. Governor Najeeb Jung.
"I would like to thank everyone for their support. We will analyze what went wrong later," a sombre-looking Dikshit told reporters outside her house while declining to take questions.
Dikshit, 75, herself trailed behind AAP founder-leader Arvind Kejriwal in the prestigious New Delhi constituency. Kejriwal, who had claimed that he would defeat the three-time chief minister, was way ahead with over 40,000 votes.
In fact, three cabinet ministers are trailing.
While the BJP was leading in 33 constituencies, the AAP was ahead in 27 seats and the Congress in 7.
It was however the phenomenal success of AAP, which came into existence as a political party only last year, that surprised both the ruling Congress and the BJP.
The BJP admitted on Sunday that the AAP's stunning performance in Delhi elections was "surprising" but maintained that it would form a government.
"We always thought of AAP as competition and we were expecting it to get double digit seats, but this is surprising," BJP state president Vijay Goel told the media.
"We have done all the hard work in Delhi (as an opposition) in the last 15 years but now AAP is reaping the benefits," he added.
The Congress, which has governed Delhi since 1998 with Dikshit at its helm, was stunned. Some supporters, who were still hopeful despite trends showing a Congress drubbing held prayers at Dikshit's residence for a miracle. Some even brought sweets in the morning, but were shooed away.
Congress leader Rajiv Shukla said: "AAP cut on our votes and caused damage. A lot of votes have gone to AAP, that is why we are losing in Delhi."
However, he quickly added: "These results have no bearing on the Lok Sabha elections."
Party sources and election officials said that Congress candidates were headed for defeat even in known party strongholds.
While there was an atmosphere of gloom at Dikshit's 3, Moti Lal Nehru residence, it was time for celebrations at BJP chief ministerial candidate Harsh Vardhan's residence.
Supporters burst firecrackers and distributed sweets outside Vardhan's Krishna Nagar residence in east Delhi. The BJP leader stayed glued to his television set while talking to party workers.
The activists of AAP, a product of the anti-corruption campaign of Anna Hazare, also celebrated noisily outside many counting centres and its party office in Connaught Place.
The party activists, very visible in their white side caps, waved flags, raised slogans across the national capital celebrating the unexpected success.
Many of them waved spiky brooms, their party symbol, in the air to express their joy and happiness.
A leading light of the AAP, Shazia Ilmi, told the media: "We always spoke about real issues. Now people are responding to it."
Anna Hazare, once a mentor of Kejriwal who fell out with him over the latter's political ambitions, also praised Kejriwal.
"Defeating Sheila Dikshit is not an easy thing. People gave their mandate," he said.
"I believe that Arvind Kejriwal will do good work in the opposition and will provide right direction to the government," he told reporters from Ralegan Siddhi, his home town in Maharashtra.
Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah was also keeping an eye on the Delhi assembly elections and praised the stunning debut of AAP.
"Never underestimate the underdog/newcomer with a fresh face and message," he posted.
