NZ,Aussie media allege nonsense on Indian CWG

There have been some defaming reports coming out of the Australian and New Zealand's media which are not true. These fake reports are giving the wrong impession to the world about the ongoing Commonwealth Games 2010 being held at New Delhi, India.

A few days back, CWG Federation chief had joined the players staying at the Commonwealth Games village in praising the facilities there. He said that never before in the history of the games that such a world class facility was being provided to the players. Specifically mentioned that such five star facilities weren't even there in the Beijieng Olympics. Two players were alloted a room ,irrespective the size of the contingent. The recreational,food and security facilities are probably never seen before. Every evening there's a special show held in the village only for giving the visitors the best possible time of their life.

But there's a reporter Paul Henry of TVNZ from New Zealand who gave racist remarks on the Chief Minister of New Delhi Mrs Sheila Dixit. Later he was sacked by the firm for doing so. Earlier, some Australian media channels had spread rumors that the pools were dirty and tracks were broken during the games events, which is nothing but a pack of lies meant solely at growing money and defaming India. Earlier, Channel 7 of Australia had also come out with a fake sting operation claiming security breaches, which was negated by Mike Fennell when he was checked as his car didn't have the required entry pass. Also the Indian home minister underwent the same procedure when his personal car didnt have the pass during his surprise inspection at the village. Infact , during the games opening ceremony, people were instructed to arrive 4 hours prior to the function as they had to undergo a whopping 19 security checks of all kind. That tight has been the security.

Yes, there had been some mistakes committed by the co-ordinating authorities. But the main reason behind them was Emaar-MGF JV, which handed over the possession of the building structure years late, and that too without any electrical or plumbing,sanitary fittings.

When Hollywood stars like John Lennon,Julia Roberts,Sting,Padma Lakshmi,Vikram Chatwal Katy Perry and Russel Brand intend to return to India for spending the memorable part of their lives, they must have found something good here. I mean, if Katy Perry and Russel Brand announce their marriage to take place in India, then they must have found something worth noting. Marriage isn't done everyday.

So please don't listen to these rumors. The Commonwealth Games are being held at the highest possible levels. Play a contructing part and support India in organising these games. Who knows when might you visit India in the near future...
