ప్రపంచకప్లో చోటు దక్కించుకుని నిరాశపర్చిన ఆటగాడు దినేశ్ కార్తీక్. ఐపీఎల్లో షారూక్ యాజమానిగా ఉన్న కోల్కతా నైట్రైడర్స్కు సారథిగా ఉన్నాడు. తాజాగా ఈ ఆటగాడు కరీబియన్ ప్రీమియర్ లీగ్ ప్రమోషనల్ ఈవెంట్కు హాజరైనట్లు తెలిసింది. ఆ ఫొటోలు సామాజిక మాధ్యమాల్లో కనిపించగా.. దీనిపై వివరణ కోరుతూ అతడికి షోకాజ్ నోటీసులు జారీ చేసింది బీసీసీఐ.

కరీబియన్ ప్రీమియర్ లీగ్లో ట్రింబాగో నైట్ రైడర్స్కు షారూక్ యజమానిగా ఉన్నాడు. అందువల్లే కార్తీక్ ఈ వేడుకకు హాజరయ్యాడని సమాచారం.

"కార్తీక్కు బీసీసీఐ షోకాజ్ నోటీసులు జారీ చేసింది. ట్రింబాగ్ నైట్రైడర్స్ డ్రెస్సింగ్ రూమ్లో కార్తీక్ ఉన్నట్లు ఫొటోలు మాకు అందాయి. అనుమతి లేకుండా వెళ్లినందుకే నోటీసులు పంపాం."
-బీసీసీఐ అధికారి

ట్రింబాగ్ నైట్ రైడర్స్ డ్రెస్సింగ్ రూమ్లో కివీస్ మాజీ ఆటగాడు బ్రెండన్ మెక్కల్లమ్ పక్కన కూర్చుని ఉన్న ఫొటోలు సామాజిక మాధ్యమాల్లో హల్చల్ చేశాయి. బీసీసీఐ సెంట్రల్ కాంట్రాక్టు ఉన్న ఆటగాళ్లు వేరే ప్రైవేట్ లీగుల్లో పాల్గొనడానికి వీలులేదు. అందుకే బీసీసీఐ ఈ విషయాన్ని సీరియస్గా తీసుకున్నట్లు తెలుస్తోంది.

ఇవీ చూడండి.. టెస్టులకు గుడ్ బై చెప్పనున్న అఫ్గాన్ ఆల్రౌండర్

11. SOUNDBITE (Bosnian) Branko Culibrk, Pride organiser:
"This (Pride march) is truly something that can ignite debate on many other important issues in our society. From the start, we have been insisting that the Pride march is an open platform and we urge all people who are facing any form of discrimination, who are deprived of their human rights to join us, we are not talking only about members of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transsexual and Queer community but about a broad spectrum of socially marginalised groups, including women, people with disabilities, migrants because we can all see how our society treats migrants. We want to create a space where all these issues can be debated in order to build together, in synergy, a more just, more equal society."

14. SOUNDBITE (Bosnian) Nera Mesinovic, Pride organiser:
"For example, last Friday I got married and then I returned here to organise the Pride march. It was very painful for me to find myself in a situation where, upon returning to Bosnia-Herzegovina, I can no longer hold hands with or kiss my partner, my wife, in public, on the street. It is a defeat that we are recognised as spouses by a Western country (where they got married), but here we cannot even hold hands. We are scared because we had been attacked in April this year, in the centre of town, outside (restaurant) Forino, so we are quite cautious."
15. Cutaway Culibrk and Mesinovic

STORYLINE:
Bosnia's embattled gays will defy threats of violence this weekend to hold the country's first ever Pride march and appeal for solidarity in a society ripped apart by war-era divisions and poverty.
The event symbolically dubbed 'Ima Izac!' or 'Coming Out!' will be held in Sarajevo on Sunday under tight security to stave off possible attacks by extremist groups that have disrupted similar events in the past.
Sarajevo is the last of the Balkan capitals to schedule a pride march after neighbouring countries moved to boost LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer) rights as part of effort toward European Union membership.
Even so, backlash has been huge in the deeply conservative nation entrenched in policies of ethnic divisions and nationalism that fuelled the 1992-95 conflict and that still prevent Bosnia from moving forward.
"We live in a society that has no space for dialogue," said Branko Culibrk, one of the activists behind the march. "We want to open a topic that will shake the society and create room for discussion."
The organisers - some 15 activists from all sides of Bosnia's ethnic divide - have received support from many prominent individuals in Bosnia, fellow-activists in the region and from US and EU officials in the country who promised to join in.
But fears of violence are high after queer festivals in Sarajevo were attacked by radical Islamists and hooligans in 2008 and 2014, injuring several people.
Opponents are planning two gatherings this weekend while Sarajevo police have brought in reinforcements.
Though any form of discrimination is formally banned, Bosnia's gays face widespread harassment and often physical attacks that are rarely prosecuted.
Activist Culibrk claimed the shunning goes as far as to exclude gays from donating blood in hospitals.
"We urge all people who are facing discrimination ... to help us create a society that will be more just," he said.
Another activist, Nera Mesinovic, said she was forced to leave Bosnia to be able to marry her lesbian partner.
Even more devastating, she said, was the fact that upon their return, the pair could no longer show affection in public.
"We were attacked in the centre of the city, this happens all the time, every day," said Mesinovic. "I came back and all of a sudden I cannot hold my partner's hand, we cannot kiss in the streets."
While anti-gay sentiments and incidents still exist in the predominantly patriarchal societies in the Balkans, there have been some changes - Serbia has appointed a first ever lesbian prime minister and staunchly macho-male oriented Montenegro is considering legalisation of same-sex partnerships.
But scarred by the 1990s' war that killed more than 100,000 people, Bosnia remains dominated by policies of mistrust and nationalism fostering divisions between the former war foes - the Bosniaks, who are mainly Muslims, Bosnian Croats and Bosnian Serbs.
This has made promotion of liberal ideas in the country difficult amid widespread poverty which is driving educated young people away in tens of thousands.
In Sarajevo, ruling party officials have been among the Pride critics: Samra Cosovic-Hajdarevic from the Bosniak Party of Democratic Action, sparked outrage months ago when she called for gays to be "isolated from our children and our society."
Others in the ruling coalition recently demanded the event be cancelled.
Ahmet Kulanic, from the Islamic-oriented Svjetlo (Light) organisation behind the counter rally planned on Saturday, evoked "family tradition and values" as important for Bosnia's future. It is "problematic," he complained, when someone seeks to "impose values that are not in line with the (general) atmosphere."
Pride organisers, however, insisted that Bosnia needs tolerance, unity and solidarity more than anything else.
Mesinovic says the fact that people from all over the country joined forces to organise the pride shows this is possible.
"We insist on the narrative that is togetherness and solidarity," she said. "We actually can communicate with each other without any problems and regardless of the divisions that we live in."
