Mamata Banerjee dares BJP to prove allegations against TMC

Kolkata, Sept 12: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today challenged BJP to prove its allegation that leaders of Trinamool Congress were involved in the Saradha chit fund scam. "A leader of their party had come and accused me. I don't want to take his name. He himself is accused of perpetuating riots. I have those records also. He has accused me of duping 17 lakh people. Either he has to reply or has to accept that he has made a wrong statement," Banerjee said in an interview to a local TV channel. Banerjee said this in an apparent reference to BJP president Amit Shah, but did not name him. The BJP president had last week alleged that the West Bengal chief minister's associates and "stooges" were involved in the Saradha Ponzi scam and asked her to quit office if she can't act against the wrong-doers. Asserting that BJP was not afraid of anyone, Shah said those involved in the scam would be arrested and put behind bars. Banerjee wondered how he can say that "we duped the masses in Saradha Scam" and expressed surprise "from where he he gets such an audacity". "People will give him a befitting reply. Saradha chit fund company didn't come up during my regime but during the Left regime. And not 17 lakh but 12 lakh investors were duped in the Saradha scam. He should cross check his facts from his friends," Banerjee said. She went on to claim, "We from our government treasury had returned money to five lakh investors. The CBI is now investigating. They will return the money to the rest of the seven lakh people. If CBI can't, then Arun Jaitley (Union Finance Minister) will return the money." Banerjee also slammed Shah's statement that those who are culprits will be arrested and jailed. "We hate chit funds. We have arrested main culprit. Now they are spreading canards against me. They are saying that they will put me behind bars. Where from they get such an audacity? Those who are saying this have themselves been to prison. I know all their dirty acts, people from Gujarat have only given me those evidences," said Banerjee. She also said that a bill framed by the state government to contain chit fund companies in the state had been withheld by the Centre. "Chit funds are not under state governments, but under the central government. Chit Funds are looked by the RBI and SEBI, and central government," she said. Banerjee claimed that a big chit fund company in New Delhi had duped the investors of Rs 45,000 crore. "What were they doing then when investors were getting cheated of around Rs 45,000 crore by a chit fund company near Delhi? They only brag about religion and are busy chanting "NAMO, NAMO," Banerjee said.

Divya Narendra Founder Of Facebook Originally ConnectU Harvard Connection

Divya Narendra Facebook/Conect u Founder

Divya Narendra claims to be one of the people who had the original idea for facebook which got stolen from him from current facebook founder. Identical twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss who were co-founders with Divya Narendra of the social networking system initially called the Harvard Connection.com are demanding their share of the pie from Mark Zuckerberg whom they had all engaged to help with their idea and claim ended up getting their idea stolen by him!

Indian Divya narendra in court battle for facebook company

They sued Facebook and Mr Zuckerberg in 2004, settling four years later for $US20 million in cash and $US45 million in Facebook shares. They have been trying to undo that settlement since, saying they were misled on the value of the deal. But the decision has not been easy.

The twins and Mr Narendra plan to ask a federal appeals court in San Francisco to undo the deal so they can pursue their original case against Facebook and Mr Zuckerberg, and win a richer pay day. They could, though, lose it all. Facebook says the Winklevosses simply suffer from a case of ”settlers’ remorse”. Trades on a private exchange suggest that Facebook, which is not a public company, now is worth about $US50 billion, and the company may want to go ahead with a stock offering.

Unbelievable animals In The Worlds

Aye-Aye

The aye-aye is a small lemur that lives in Madagascar. This creature would be hard-pressed to win a primate beauty pageant. The average aye-aye has large bulbous eyes — not unlike Gollum from "Lord of the Rings" — huge ears that are more creepy than adorable and nightmarishly long fingers. There is no evolutionary benefit to good looks in the aye-aye line.

To complete this strange package, the aye-aye feeds more like a woodpecker than a primate. The aye-aye taps on trees to find grubs, gnaws a hole into the wood, and uses its freakishly long middle finger — which looks like something Tim Burton might have created — to pull out its dinner.

Weird and wonderful wildlife

With all the bizarre and crazy creatures humans have invented, it's easy to forget that for every unicorn there is a bizarre creature that actually exists. Evolution and niche specialization can create some crazy-looking forms of life. Here are six strange examples. Frilled shark

Frilled shark

The frilled shark is straight out of central casting for prehistoric sharks and has been called a "living fossil" due to its unique and seemingly evolutionarily stunted features. It's not clear just how much direct lineage the frilled shark shares with ancient sharks, but even the possibility of a connection is exciting.

Whatever its origins, the frilled shark is one of the stranger things swimming in the ocean. The frilled shark has been found all over the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and seems to prefer feeding near biologically rich upwellings.

Dumbo octopus

The Dumbo octopus was so named because the fins that grow out of the side of its head resemble the floppy ears of Disney's flying elephant. The Dumbo octopus lives in extremely deep waters (up to three miles down) and looks as if it might be an anime caricature of an octopus.

It has huge eyes that are kind of adorable, and cute little tentacles that seem far too short for its bulbous little body. The Dumbo octopus uses both its tentacles and its Dumbo ears to move around, feeding off small worms, bivalves and crustaceans found on the sea floor.

Blobfish

The blobfish is a rare native of deep waters off Australia and Tasmania. Its choice of living quarters in the deep makes sense ... because this is one strange-looking creature.

The blobfish doesn't have the gas bladder that most other fish have to regulate buoyancy. Instead, it relies on its gelatinous flesh, which is slightly less dense than seawater, allowing it to easily swim around the ocean floor in search of food.

Shoebill

This bird looks like something you might see in a TV commercial — it has a wide, exaggerated beak that makes it look like a creature dreamed up to be the spokesperson for an insurance company.

Though this cartoonish bird looks like it should talk with a Brooklyn accent and bust your chops all day, the shoebill lives in swamps in east Africa and can grow to be nearly five feet tall. With a remaining population of only 5,000 to 8,000 birds, the shoebill is listed as a vulnerable species by BirdLife International.
