Mumbai Run-down

Aamna protests Varoun Gandi's self-deprecatory speech

The Sivasena mouthpiece Aamna did a volte-face on the Varoun episode after he went overboard scolding and berating himself for his 'stupidasssss' speech against a particular community, which had incidentally been appreciated in the Aamna editorial. "What was I thinking? I should be beaten and mauled. I'm such a jackass" Varoun said yesterday in a press meet. Aamna lodged a protest with the Mumbai HC stating that Varoun should not insult himself as he represents more than himself - he is now the voice of the common rioter all over the country.

Varoun moves SC


In a rare display of emotion, SC Judge Balaiah broke down listening to Varoun Gandi's pathetic excuse that the CD of his inflammatory speech had scratches. This is the first time the SC has been visibly moved on this issue.

Aamna protests Freeda cover

Aamna created more ripples of controversy after the ugly Chaplin statue episode, by protesting against 'Dumbdog Millionaire' starlet Freeda Pintu's cover picture in 'Kaamwalibai' a housekeeping weekly famous in South Bombay. 'We don't want foreign talent in this area' the article said.

'Vote against Lead Hindustan' campaign successful


Mumbai came together as one voice on Marine Drive and demanded that there be no more election-related preaching in mainstream media, specifically targeting a leading daily, TOH. 'Is TOH forgetting their vision - to bring raunchy photographs to your doorstep at affordable prices?' thundered an ex-loyalist angrily. TOH was forced to concede and has promised to stop the campaign immediately.
