India's former telecommunications minister Andimuthu Raja comes out of the airport in New DelhiThe CBI today arrested a former telecoms minister over an alleged telcoms scam linked to awarding mobile licences, Indian television channels reported, in a move that could weaken the coalition government.The former minister, Andimuthu Raja, belongs to a key regional parliamentary ally of the Congress-led government and his arrest could spark tension within a coalition hit by a series of corruption scandals.PM Manmohan Singh's government hopes the move will placate the opposition and break a parliamentary logjam that has stalled several major bills, but the opposition immediately said it was too little too late.(Pictures by Reuters)

Nearly 3,000 people held noisy protests on Tuesday against India&#39;s approval of South Korean Posco&#39;s plans to build a steel plant in Orissa, underlying the problems that have delayed the mill for years.

Police said men, women and children marched to the site of the proposed $12 billion plant waving placards saying POSCO&#39;s plans would disrupt their betel leaf plantations and forest-based livelihoods.

While the protests are not likely to force a reversal of the government approval given on Monday, they could make it difficult for authorities to begin acquiring land for the plant that has been a test case for India&#39;s investment climate.

"Posco go back," protesters shouted, according to witnesses.

"Shame on Jairam Ramesh, shame on Naveen Patnaik,"
