Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut on Wednesday said Eknath Shinde "himself is Hamas", as he countered the Maharashtra chief minister's comment about Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena faction being capable of joining hands with "Hamas and Lashkar-e-Taiba for their own selfishness". Taking a dig at Shinde and his aide Bharatiya Janata Party, Raut said, "He (Eknath Shinde) is himself Hamas... This shows how many dirty worms the BJP has planted in your mind."

11 May,2012 09:15 PM ISTAfter a media house shot footage of the girl being molested by a gang of men in Guwahati, questions are being raised if the cameraman and reporter on the spot could have done more to protect the girl or did they do the right by filming and releasing footage of the crime.
