Some French cities have said they will not allow public screens to be put up to show matches in a rights protest. Al Sharq newspaper prominently showed a cartoon with the World Cup surrounded by arrows symbolising the criticism that Qatar has faced

“Let’s stop smear campaigns and cooperate for a World Cup that unites peoples,” it added. Al Sharq ran an interview with Lakhdar Belloumi, a former Algerian international considered to be one of the best Arab football players of all time, who said “malicious campaigns will not discourage Qatar”. An editorial in the paper on Sunday hit out at the “lies, rumours and slander” written in Europe about Qatar’s World Cup preparations.

It said there was a “systematic conspiracy” by media in many European countries over coverage of workers’ rights in Qatar, “while this media has forgotten the miserable conditions experienced by workers in Europe.” “We find that this miserable media creates a story every time a country from outside the old continent hosts the tournament,” said Al Sharq.

In a commentary for the English-language website Doha News, artist Ghada Al Khater wrote: “Forgive me for doubting such intentions of European countries, who have for the past decade stood and watched as migrants fleeing conflict, devastation and poverty … drown to the bottom of the Mediterranean.”

Arvind Kejriwal: ‘CBI, ED troubling everyone… still don’t understand the scam in liquor policy’

Arvind Kejriwal said the BJP was using the CBI and ED to threaten everyone across the country. "Instead of talking and thinking about CBI raids, they should focus on important public work like us," he said.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal Friday alleged the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) were “unnecessarily troubling everyone”, and that he still did not know what the liquor scam was all about. “The country cannot progress like this,” he said.

While addressing a press conference in the national capital, Kejriwal said the Lieutenant Governor, CBI and BJP have quoted varying amounts of money involved in the alleged scam, but he didn’t understand what it was really about. “One of their (BJP) leaders says it is a scam of Rs 8,000 crore, the LG says it is a scam of Rs 144 crore and the CBI FIR says there is a scam of Rs 1 crore. I don’t understand what the liquor scam is,” Kejriwal said.

Kejriwal added that the BJP was using the CBI and ED to threaten everyone across the country. “Instead of talking and thinking about CBI raids, they should focus on important public work like us,” he said.
