With prices also increasing on June 14 (Sunday), it is now the eighth consecutive daily increase in fuel rates since the prices were revised last week. The sudden daily in rates have invited criticism from most circles with the opposition also taking a dig at the central government by stating that while international crude prices have fallen, fuel prices in India are skyrocketing.
Meanwhile, Harbhajan recently recalled the ‘monkeygate’ scandal that rocked international cricket and also soured the relation between India and Australia in 2008. Talking to Aakash Chopra on his YouTube show ‘Aakash Vani’, Bhajji revealed that he felt trapped after the incident. “Why always me, why I always get into trouble. l don’t want the attention and the cameras always following me,” Bhajji recalled.
