The Election Commission has not only exceeded its brief but has made a fool of self by asking BJP not to field Varun Gandhi. It is sad if not outright stupid. Former Election Commissioner GVG Krishnamurthy explains why.

The Election Commission has no jurisdiction to take action against Gandhi” for his alleged inflammatory speeches.

The model code of conduct comes into effect only after President Pratibha Patil notifies the elections in the official gazette. Till then Gandhi cannot be considered an Election Commission recognized candidate.

The commission has acted in haste in moving against Gandhi for violation of the model code of conduct under the provisions of the Representation of Peoples Act 1951.

Only the police can move against him under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for inciting communal passions.

As of now Varun is only a probable candidate and an ordinary citizen against whom action can be taken only under the IPC if he makes inflammatory statements.

The Election Commission has no role to play till the notification of elections by the president.

‘Wonder of Wonders’! This time I found this ‘Chamcha in Chief’ in agreement with me though he is still defending ‘Dynastic Scion’ albeit on the other side of political divide. Good going CIC.  You know well how to keep the both sides of bread buttered.

The ‘really actual’ fun will began … of course at our cost…when Shri Shri Naveen Chawala will take over as the ‘CHIEF’ Election Commissioner on April 21st- right in the middle of this election 2009- courtesy the Sonia ‘Maino’ Gandhi’s handpicked Prime Minion and Your President. But then… for some, ‘Dynasty is always superior to Democracy’ despite this sane advice “If we fail democracy, democracy will fail us.”

JAI HO!

BCCI to stage IPL abroad over security issues.

JAI HO!

We a BILLION strong nation comes to standstill because we are a ‘Democracy’!!??

JAI HO?

With Sonia ‘Maino’ Gandhi as ‘Supreme most’ we can not hold a ‘domestic tournament’ even in our Billion strong nation!

JAI HO!

With ‘Economist’ Prime Minion ‘alleged’ to be at the helm of affairs of BILLION strong nation - hardly seen or reported or recognized as - even by the ‘babas and babes’ of Congress; leave alone ‘AAM ADAMI’!!!

JAI HO!

Last but not least three cheers for ‘Your President’ too…

JAI HO! JAI HO!! JAI HO!!!

My dear friend Mallika has posted this video asking who’s ‘Jai Ho’?

Congress Ki Ya Janata Ki?

See this video here and send to as many as you can. Congress might have BOUGHT the copyright and deservedly so. I choose to say ‘Jai Ho’…   

Mallika, JANATA KI HI JAI HOTI HAI OR HOTI RAHEGI.

IS LIYE ‘JAI HO’ JANATA KI.

 Varun Gandhi on March 4th while attending a ‘workers meet’ in Pillibhit is alleged to have made a speech which has in turn made the Sec –Soc MSM go into a frenzy and their ‘Secular Wailing’ has become unbearably nauseating.   

On Varun’s speech,Sandeep here has made an excellent post and I agree with him somewhat. Here is my take on this issue.  

To start with, Varun’s ‘alleged’ speech CD first. 

• Is it proven beyond doubt that this is what exactly he said?
• Is it proven beyond doubt that this CD was not doctored? After all MSM does not cover itself in glory when the matter relates to fake stings and dubious CDs, doing rounds of News Broadcasters, whenever elections are around.
• Why has the CD been not telecast earlier on 4^th of March when this ‘allegedly communal’ speech was made? Why was the matter delayed till 16^th March?
• Who all were holding this CD for 12 whole days and why?
• MOST IMPORTANT: Who has recorded this speech? On watching this video it is very clear that it was not recorded by a professional cameraman but by someone else. Where is that camera on which this video was recorded?

These are a few pertinent points that need to be considered before Varun is pronounced guilty of ‘hate speech’ and/or ‘inflaming communal passion’ and whatever adjectives MSM is using against Varun Gandhi. 

Furthermore, our country has a constitution with well laid down laws and procedures that need to be followed before pronouncing anyone guilty. So why is there such a great hurry to damn Varun even before his guilt is established? 

Well, the reasons are not difficult to comprehend when we look at the famous players behind this ‘Secular Wailing’!

Here is one Padma Shri Madame’s strongly secular 24X7 news channel chosen to telecast the CD after a gap of 12 whole days!!!! Since March 16^th the Padma Shri’s channel has been engaging the fast dwindling audiences with their secular rant and has already pronounced Varun guilty and just short of hanging him; has recommended all sorts of punishment that range from debarring him from the electoral race to sending him to jail for three years maximum!!!!  

Another Padma Shri of ‘Congress News Network’ has the gall to say, “…we must not allow Varun to get away so easily.”  AUDACIOUS! Pray May I ask him what should be done with you Sir for the role you played in rescuing the Baliddaan Moorti’s handpicked Prime Minion by ‘hiding the tapes’! HUH! 

‘Hamam Mein Sab Nange Hain’, of course! Hiding the tapes then and showing it NOW repeatedly! WOW! Look who is talking!

I am not sure about what Varun is supposed to have said, but if at all he has said what he is ‘alleged’ to have said, then I think that this is what most Hindus have been feeling since Her Majesty inflicted her handpicked Prime Minion on us.

The Muslim first policy and unabashed ‘minority (read Muslims) appeasement’ in the name of Secularism has done no service to either the Muslims or the Hindus but has only helped to widen the gulf. (It is foolish to think that this ‘gulf’ does not or did not exist by mouthing meaningless and hollow platitudes). If it is at all true what Varun is alleged to have said, it is only the manifestation of this simmering anger among the Hindus.  

Now BJP’s confusion. 

BJP’s confusion is pathetic to say the least. Flip Flop! I, for one, hold this opinion that ‘BJP lost 2004 not because of being seen as a Hindu party but for not being a Hindu Enough party’ which could be very simplistic but true nevertheless. I wish the BJP had learned some lessons from the past and not tried to be so enthusiastically ‘secular’.

I m reminded of Pakistan’s ghazal maestro Ghulam Ali’s famous ghazal

“Hungama Hai Kyoon Barpa; Thodi si jo Pe Lee hai.

Chori Tou Nahin Ki; Daka Tou Nahin Dala.”

I wonder what the ‘Holy Land of Islam’ is humming after yesterday’s great display of hospitality! Perhaps this…

“Hungama Hain Kyoon Barpa; Goli Bhi Tou Marri Hai.

Rocket jo nahin Lagga; Grenade bhi  nahin fata”

Going by the past record of Pakistani’s love for Cricket we must thank God for small mercy that all Sri Lankan players are safe and back home.

Safe?  Yes, after all they survived the flavor of Pakistani Hospitality but just with all those small little friendly bullet wounds in chest, arm,foot, leg, shoulder, thigh etc.

JUST THAT! COME ON! JUST SOME PUNCTURE HOLES! MAY BE YOU ALL GET BACK TO ACTION SOON OR WHAT IF YOU DO NOT? AFTER ALL ‘BRAVADO’ SHOWN IS ‘HEIGHT OF STUPIDITY’ BUT ONLY YOU COULD OR YOUR BOARD HAD UNDERSTOOD.

Though I am glad none of you (Sri Lankans)  is critically injured and expect and wish to see u back in action (on play field) soon, yet I doubt your Prudence. After all your not so friendly Neighbor had nearly arranged an appointment of yours with their ‘God Almighty’.

I am reminded of Goswami Tulsi Dass Ji, he said and I quote ( from Sunder Kaand).

“Vinay Karat Jaldhi, Teene din Gaye Beet,

Bole Ram Sakop Tab, Bhay Binu Hoi Na Preet”

By the way Pakistani team survived because ‘God Alimighty’ was by their side you know. 

Parting Shot: Will the candle marcher peacenicks at Wagah would learn a lesson now? NOPE they wont.  Expect them to preach to you how “Cricket” would bring you closer to your God  ”friendly neightbor”!

High time we ask these ‘peacenicks’  to shift their shops to ‘Lahore’ for once and all.

Union Minister for Women and Child Development Renuka Chowdhury is the fire spewing ‘Young’ leader of Congress and most visible and vocal champion of Woman rights. You can spot her almost on daily basis on any of 24X7 channels espousing the cause of Womanhood. 

Her passionate defense of ‘Pink Chaddi Woman Folk’ and her zeal to see that more and more woman too become ‘Pub Going Loose and Forward’ (excuseme ladies, whatever you call selves as) was too fantastic. If Gandhi Ji had given a call of ‘Jail Bharo’ then, her call of ‘Pub Bharo’ was too ingenious. She has secured self a place in history. I was amazed to see her tarring the whole of Manglore natives by saying “’Mangalore has been Talibanised.” It is different matter that Manglorians were not amused by her’s  this senseless statement and the Mayor and otther prominient citizens filed a complaint prompting theCourt to ask authorities to register a FIR against the union minister. 

Renuka has a proclivity for attracting publicity even at the expense of public and this is well known. She may well choose to support ‘Pink Chaddis’ or strive to see that more and more woman include PUB visit as a weekly schedule if not daily just as woman folk make a visit to Beauty parlor. 

But for that to happen Renuka as a minister will have to first ensure that no woman is forced to sell her Child to pay up Medical Bill (?) that too in Govt run Hospital. SHAME! 

SHAME INDEED!  This happens in the ‘Honorable Ministers’ own constituency.This following report is a slap on the face of Renuka Choudhury the ‘Honorable Union Minister’ for Women and Child Development. HUH!

Mom sells baby to pay ‘bribe’ in Renuka’s constituency 

Hyderabad: In a heart-rending incident, a young poverty-stricken single mother in Andhra Pradesh sold her newborn son to a childless couple for Rs 6,000 so that she could pay her medical bill in a Government hospital.

“My financial position is really bad,” a distraught looking Rajitha (20) who could not afford the Rs 2,000 hospital fee said from her bed at the Government area hospital in Kothagudem in Khammam district.

She delivered the baby by Caesarean section last week and the infant changed hands within 24 hours.

Police said they would take action against the hospital which also faces an inquiry whether its doctors took any money as bribe from the woman.

“Buying and selling a baby is an offence, so we will be booking cases,” Kothagudem revenue division officer P Rajaram said.

According to reports, a rickshaw driver friend gave the single mother Rs 6,000 for the baby, which he planned to bring up with his wife. The couple have no children.

The incident occurred in the parliamentary constituency of Union Minister of State for Women and Child development Renuka Chowdhury.

“At least, she is safe and at least the child is not dead and not killed. I think they are the most important things that we need to look at,” Chowdhury said.

The woman told the police who interrogated her that her husband had abandoned her and she had no means to support herself and a baby.

“We are also inquiring into the fact whether the doctor had asked for money (from the woman),” he added.

Welfare officials reportedly want the baby to be reunited with his mother so she can breastfeed him. They said the mother and child would then be shifted to a state-run facility where Rajitha can decide if she wants to put the baby up for adoption. 

I want to question Renuka Choudhury: Is this poor woman has no right to be defended by you? Or is it because she is not ‘Loose and forward Enough’ to merit your attention? Any Answer? 
 

 

 

 
Sonia ‘Maino’ Gandhi’s Congress party has no of legal luminaries (Lawyers) of all hues and sizes. Starting from the Law minister H R Bhardwaj to Kapil Sibal to Manu Singhvi to Now disowned Devil Advocate R K Anand to now day’s most visible advocate of the Congress   ‘Dynasty’  Manish Tiwari. 

One job all these great ‘Advocates ‘ relish doing is:Being spokesman for the Dynasty. Louder the better. Facts, Truth, Probity and now even very basic and common knowledge too is discounted when the matters come to defending the ‘Goddess of Sacrifice’ and her – not so young anymore– 38 year old Clown Crowned Prince Rahul. 

Congress’s spokesperson Manish Tiwari is a lawyer by profession and nowadays chief proctor  of Rahul’s ‘foot in mouth’ disease. His (Manish Tiwari) oratory is in no doubt neither his lung power can be underestimated; but what about some General Knowledge? 

 Ummmm… I think he should spend some time reading his kid’s books or some easy goggle search too would be of immense help before he shoots his mouth next time. 

Manish in his zeal to match Modis ‘veiled’ reference to Rahul as ‘aquarium fish’said,

If Rahul is like a fish in the aquarium, then Modi is ‘piranha’ who devoured human beings.

HT dated Feb, 23rd 2009. 

On this my good friend Yossarin say,

Manish Tiwari’s smart-ass retort would have carried its zing but for a simple problem – the piranha are fresh water fish and not ocean fish.  

Before the Dynasty spokesperson deny saying this, watch his histrionics here. Enjoy!


Now did Modi say any thing  wrong? No. 

Though NaMo (Narrendera Modi)  did not name ‘Rahul’ specifically he pointed out to the deep rooted Dynastic culture in Congress and contrasted this with the BJP’s gen next leadership. Congress’s claims of youth leadership Rahul, Pilot, Prasad, Scindhia, Naveen Jindal, Priya Dutt all are in Congress not for being their on their own merit but only being sons and daughters of past/present ‘Loyal Dynasty Servers’ of Congress. 

Contrast this with Arun Jaitley, Ravi Shankar, Sushama Swaraj, Narrendra Modi, Shiv Raj Chouhan, Mukhtaar abbass Naqui, Shahnawaj Hussein and many many more who are where they are due to their girth and determination and service to the nation. Same hold true for the Communists too. Be it Sitaram Yechury or Prakash Karat or any other leader in PB! They all are there due to their own efforts and work not because they were/are sons and daughters of some past/present party bigwigs. 

Point me one name who has reached where ever he/she is because his/her father, mother, uncle, aunty propelled them forward. 

Sonia ‘Maino’ Gandhi’s  ‘Congress’ is no different from Laloo, Mulayam, Paswan, Maya, AIADMK, DMK, TDP  etc. Theirs are small kiosks in a great ‘trade fare called Lok Sabha’ while Sonia head a Pvt. Ltd. Company with no stake of  ‘aam adami’ in it at all. 

After all Sonia’s  cheerleaders like these ‘lawyers’ should know how the Sonia’s Congress treated PV Narismhan Rao (only another non family Congress PM other than being LB Shastri and undisputedly among the best) or Sita Ram Kesari (who was ‘physically removed from office when Sonia decided to join politics)as President of Congress. 

Therefore Dynasty’s spokesperson ‘indignant outburst’  is ill placed and devoid of some basic knowledge too. Madame and Clown Crowned Prince deserve better ‘dynasty servers’  now on As they will be constantly engaged and challenged by bloggers often, after all the great Indian Tamasha ‘Elections’ are approaching fast and we (Bloggers)  too have a stake in that. 

Parting Shot…

BTW at 38 Rahul is not young any more how about projecting Priyanka’s kids as next Gen leadership if age is what is so important for Congress! Wonder I and/or billion strong nation noticed no ‘greatness’ in action or deed of Clown Crowned Prince so far!

 If you happen to be Editor, Managing Editor, Editor in Chief or an Executive Editor in Sec-Soc Main Stream Media and dream for becoming some Padam Shri or Padam Bhushan then; all that you need to do is: Sing Pagans in praise of Madame, project Rahul as the future and more importantly do all you can to down size Advani. Do that by all means who stops you after all one Padam Shri Editor in Chief say and say openly, “Hamam Mein Sab Nange Hain”. Who doubts any more?

All these mighty people have their own perspective of issues depending upon their ‘political and/or economic’ intersests. Well, I hold nothing against them for their ‘being’ what they are, but WTF if they delebirately become so oblivious of some very  basic and  simple facts and in their zeal to be more loyal to Queenlie through teeth!!!!!

It is one thing to project the one who hold license to rule but bloody too much to do what this one Pranjal Sharma of UTVi does here. Screw up history, contort Geography and project self as a front runner for some Padam Shri or Bhushan is too much to digest????

Shamelessly This Executive Editor of UTVi does exactly the same and say ‘this’ about Shri L.K.Advani,

A Prime Minister born in Karachi may not go down well post-26/11.

Well! Is this Executive Editor Pranjal Sharma really ignorant of history? Is he really ignorant of geography before 1947 or after? None. He is simply being too smart by half by exploiting the popular sentiment of General Public against the perpetrators of Mumbai Mayhem coming from Karachi.

These days challenging these high and mighty ones are a risky thing. After all not long back the ‘Queen’ of Indian News sued a poor blogger and Raja of Indian News demonstrated how ‘Media Mein Sab Nange Hain’ .

For the benefit of this Executive Editor of UTVi, here are two maps pre and post partition of India and that too when Nehru and Gandhi were at the helms of affairs.

Just one question for this ‘Executive Editor’ Pranjal Sharma of UTVi …

Was ‘Karachi’ a part of India or not

in 1929? If yes, then WTF is this above sentence for if not outrageoulsy outrageous?

But only if not Pranjal Sharma’s intention is to obfuscate facts and promote self at the cost of Geography then what else is it?

Shameless! Utterly Shameless.

Another example how the Congress fixed Institutions.

‘Executive Editor’ Pranjal Sharma get your facts right and/or SHUT UP.

 This is to put on record that your truly has always been inspired by Shri Kulkarni. I seek his guidance, always.)

Shri Sudheendra Kulkarni is one among the most respected columnist and surely a ‘Sane Voice’ among the Cacophonic and Sycophantic Main stream media. Here in this well argued post Taking dynasty out of democracy Shri Kulkarni has emphatically certified what you’re truly had argued in this post Navin Chawala or Democracy: Choose One.

In this post ‘Navin Chawala or Democracy: Choose One.’ You’re truly had sought to draw attention of readers to three broad point.

1. Well as I said earlier too and reiterate that democracy is not about voting alone or/and getting elected. No Way. Democracy is about: Protecting Rights, Supporting and strengthening Institutions, Affording/Providing Equal opportunities to all and any, last but not least - not only been honest and transparent but to be seen so.

2. Original Ms. Gandhi in cohorts with Communists started weakening ‘Institutions’ which has ‘Now’ been perfected by the Imported Ms. Gandhi- Sonia ‘Maino’ Gandhi.

3. Abusing Democracy and undermining institutions runs deep in this family. Question is: Do we need democracy or we are doomed with a family’s whims and fancy?

Shri Kulkarni besides certifying these points has some many more interesting points to add.

On Rahul Gandhi being projected as future Prime Minister, Mr. S. Kulkarni says

Now the Congress has projected Rahul Gandhi as its future leader and prime ministerial candidate. ‘Ateet ke neenv par/Bhavishya ka nirmaan’ (Building a future on the foundation of the past) say Congress posters showcasing Rahul. The very first principle of democracy? equal opportunity undiluted by birth-related privileges? has been violated by this blatant hardsell of dynasty. The assumption that a member of the Nehru family need not have governmental experience or any record of service to the nation to be projected as the future prime minister of India is an insult to the logic of democracy.

On devaluation of Democratic Institutions under congress rule…

Yes, we can be justifiably proud of our democracy. But if take a closer look, we will be able to see the infirmities and deformities within our system. Some of our present rulers have done everything to devalue institutions of parliamentary democracy. Some of the salient issues associated with the Rashtrapati’s election in July 2007still remain unresolved. The Election Commission has become the centre of an unprecedented controversy. And we have a prime minister who is not even directly elected by the people. He prefers to play second fiddle to an extra-constitutional authority that has nominated him.

Kulkarni Sir urges us…

If we want to make India’s democracy failure-proof, let us raise our voice against what we think is wrong, even at the risk of suffering hardships. Let us campaign for a leadership culture that promotes merit and does not privilege birth. Let us demand far-reaching electoral reforms, including state funding of elections, whereby money power cannot steal or subvert people’s mandate. Let us force greater accountability upon our political leaders. And let us be vigilant in safeguarding the sanctity of our democratic institutions

He warns us too in no uncertain terms…

If we fail democracy, democracy will fail us.

I join Sir Kulkarni in his appeal to save the democracy from dynasty and ‘Take Dynasty out of Democracy.’

PI.

I am not amused and in dilemma too - to laugh or cry. Well I do both. I laugh at the stupidity of Congress and their henchmen/women/babas and babes and; cry: as Institution after institutions is being made ‘subservient’ to Madame Sonia and ‘Future King’ anointed. Ironically we still are called ‘democracy’! That too, Largest and Vibrant! 

Well as I said earlier too and reiterate that democracy is not about voting alone or/and getting elected. No Way. Democracy is about: Protecting Rights, Supporting and strengthening Institutions, Affording/Providing Equal opportunities to all and any, last but not least - not only been honest and transparent but to be seen so.

Alas! It is not be. Original Ms. Gandhi in cohorts with Communists started weakening ‘Institutions’ which has ‘Now’ been perfected by the Imported Ms. Gandhi- Sonia ‘Maino’ Gandhi.

Congress men/woman/Babas and Babes have been merrily carrying forward the infamous slogan coined by Barua - the then Congress CM of Assam: ‘Indira is India; India is Indira’. This time it is Sonia ‘Maino’ who has been hailed as‘Goddess of Sacrifice’, indeed; as I argued here.

Indira imposed emergency and prosecuted opposition leaders by throwing them in Jails, Sanjay became the de facto PM with out even being a MLA of any state. Indira had even mulled to suspend the fundamental ‘right to life’. Those of us, who are on the sunny side of forties but in teens that time, remember those dreadful days vividly.

Dynasty heir Rajiv’s tenure witnessed the most brutal ‘Massacre of Sikhs’ in 1984. Perpetrators of that heinous blood bath had become Ministers in various successive Congress Governments; some were awarded with Governorships some ‘tormentors of Emergency Era’ are still in important posts. One of them is Navin Chawala.

Navin Chawala had been appointed by ‘Her Majesty’s Government’ as Election Commissioner so Elections 2009 coincide with his being as CEC. Not that he as EC could not have served ‘His Masters’, he did. See this Chawla’s loo breaks led to Congress phone calls: CEC. 

But is it Election Commission alone that has been made subservient to ‘Her Majesty’s Government’? NO.

Let me recount some to refresh your memory. 

-To start with Sonia ‘Maino’ carefully selected Man Mohan Singh after this drama only for his being ‘Quite harm Less’ as a challenge to her authority. Pranab Mukherjee who happens to be much senior to MMS and hold most important positions was left in cold since Madame had doubts about his becoming a threat to her or the ‘Future King’. 

-Let me recall to you all about that Hans Raj Bhardwaj (Law Minister) saw nothing wrong if Governmental files were sent to Sonia for vetting/decisions, her being the Chairperson of a Gang called UPA. Of course; he retracted when there was an out cry. 

-Election of ‘You’re President’ among Billion strong Nation is another example.

-In cohort with MSM even Parliament was made a subject of Horse Trading. 

-CBI was abused for a Mr. ‘Q’, made a tool of ‘negotiation’ with/for Amar Singh and Co., Maya, Mulayam, Guru Ghantal Shibu Soren etc. 

-I hope many of you have not forgotten how the fair name of Dr. Kalam and office of Prseident was dragged in to a controversy regarding dissolution of Bihar Assembly at the behest of a Laloo. That time our very Gentle PM had reassured Dr. Kalam- that too in middle of night and Dr. Kalam’s being in Russia!

Another time the office of President was sought to be sullied when Dr. Kalam had refused to sign the controversial ‘Office of Profit Bill’ to save the Madame Sonia ‘Maino’ Gandhi.

List is long and indicative of how one institution after Institution is being abused to favor a particular lady. Abusing Democracy and undermining institutions runs deep in this family. Question is: Do we need democracy or we are doomed with a family’s whims and fancy?

I choose democracy and so I want Navin Chawala to be removed from this Institution. If Sonia still manages to win election; I will welcome her.

So for a free and fair election wipe this blemish.

 Lal Krishan Advani has made a strong point for Navin Chawala’s  removal here.

I urge all to ‘Say No to Navin Chawala’.

 Padam Shri Barkha Dutt Ji who is next on your hit list?

One blogger Chyetanya Kunte wrote an angry post after being rightly pissed off watching the TV reportage during Mumbai Mayhem. He has not only been forced to retract his post (google cache is available here) but publish unconditional  apology too. Presumably after being threatened with legal action by Padam Shri Barkha Dutt or NDTV or both. Well I am not surprised at all. Ms. Barkha Dutt has always held bloggers with contempt and has always been angry at them.

I join the bloggers fraternity and strongly condemn this highhandedness. Ms Dutt and NDTV forfeit any right to be sanctimonious about the ‘freedom of Speech’ and all that blah blah. So next time we hear you Barkha- preaching us about ‘Liberal’ values and all that, even my 10 year old daughter know what to do with the remote.

Ms Barkha Dutt and her 24X7 News Channel has picked on a poor blogger to settle some scores but will Barkha Didi answer why Kunte alone? Ms Dutt, did the Admiral not say the same thing?

Many in the media have managed to secure for selves one or another Padam Shri or Bhushan (despite this sane advice here) and they feel that they are above any scrutiny, criticism, and appraisal. Smug in their belief they feel only they have the right to speech and speak what ever they want! MSM has monopolized over the public discourse and force their opinions on the gullible public.

Now, Ms Dutta and her colleagues in media have started a new trend of intimidating the dissenting voices.

So next time when we see the Padam Shri Editor In Chief  of a channel sit over sting operation tapes he himself commissioned and let the favorite party win a crucial parliamentary fight, we sit and watch him.

So next time when a kid is brutally murdered; we watch the channels play endlessly porn reporting! We take no offence to the way channels report!

Any time any news channel frames a School Teacher and telecast the physical assault on her, live! We sit and watch!

Next time Ms Dutt or her esteemed collogues in MSM report the police action or preparedness for anti terrorist operation airing  live on air giving away the positions of security personnel thus jeopardizing their lives during any terror attack. We sit and remain silent.

We watch, read these champions of ‘Free Speech’ and ‘Liberal Values’ preach us 24X7 and dare we not question them EVER. Lest we are slapped with legal notices and the might of these mighty Padam Shris and Bhushans are unleashed.

What a glorious way to celebrate the spirit of ‘Democracy’! Shame!

So Barka Didi; am I to going to get a legal notice soon? Yes, in that case please do me a favor and type an apology your self on my behalf I will publish that but I wont retract this on any of earlier posts.

PI.

A bedtime story about blog freedom

Throw the Constitution Away

 This year 11 brave hearts have been awarded with Ashoka Chakra – The highest Gallantry award in peace time.PI salutes these brave men for their exemplary courage and pays tributes for their self less sacrifice.

May God Bless their Souls. Amen!

Without ever doubting the individual courage and contribution of these brave hearts, your sincerely has few observations to make.

2009 has seen an unprecedented 11 people for the country’s highest peacetime gallantry award, Ashok Chakra.

All Posthumous awardees have laid their lives fighting Terror and SIX have been awarded for laying their lives during the Mumbai Mayhem. This is the maximum No of personnel awarded Ashoka Chakra in any single operation since 1950.

Since Independence, about 40 Ashok Chakras have been awarded for exemplary acts of bravery during peacetime. Its war time equivalent, Param Vir Chakra, was also awarded sparingly — five for the Kashmir operations of 1947-48, four each for the 1971 war and 1999 Kargil conflict.

These above observations raise few questions in my mind about the awards and the politics of awards. For years; the Awards have been mired in one or another controversy, this year too it is no exception. 

This year the unprecedented high no of Ashoka Chakra – Once again I reiterate that this is not to raise any doubt or cast any apprehension on the Bravery of these 11 Brave hearts – might be indicative of few things.

1. Is it an attempt to shroud the ‘Guilt Pangs’ of the Man Mohan Singh’s government’s abject failure to contain terrorism?

Well, very much so. 2008 had been the worst year for India and Indians. Close to 60 Bomb Blasts – avg. 5 a month, 1 ¼ a week – hundreds of innocent men, women, children killed on streets, bazaars, roads, even Hospitals in city after city after city. A shamelessly and dangerously inefficient ‘Walking Zombie’ as Home Minister kept mumbling after every blast; all too impeccably dressed – changing thrice even on the day the Capital of nation was bombed at four places! His head rolled only after Mumbai Massacre was unleashed resulting in 190 lives lost. Only then ‘He’ was thrown in the garbage of History more to distract the public ire from the ruling party Congress (Both in centre and state) than to fix any responsibility. Having had so much of dismal record on the terror front and after the almost uprising and people’s anger against this Ruling Gang, they needed a face saver.

2. Were there  ‘really’ no political considerations when this list was finally made?

This is interesting though sad. Here I quote from this report

As reported by DNA (Jan 22), the initial list of nine was revised after controversy surrounding the names. The new list raises doubts on whether political expedience got the better of scientific analysis.

This report here and this report too here gives us the ample proof about the political caluclation and consideration behind finalising the list than genuine intention of honoring the brave hearts. Sic! 

It is evident that in the election year UPA government wanted to shroud the abysmal failure of its ‘Love Thy Terrorist fixation’ – all in the name ofSecularism. Sic! 

After all, two Senior Cabinet Ministers of Her Majesty’s Government Arjun andAntulay have been persistent in Secularizing the Terror! Sic! Has the Government purged these two elements from the Government? What does the Prime Minion think of these two fossil minded dinosaurs? With what credibility the Govt confers the awards to those whom; two senior ministers insult openly and publicly and still keep their seats intact in the Government! 

So friends, politicization of Martyrs started at the very highest level of this Government. Sonia ‘Maino’ Gandhi’s intention to ‘Honor Martyrs’ is any thing but noble. Shame indeed.

Now, you can understand my anguish. I know from core of my heart that these brave men deserve all the kudos and respect and honor from each individual Indian. Yet the way this Government has mired this ‘Greatest Civil Honor’ for petty political gains and after shrewd calculations, is shameful.

As for the other awards, Barabar Indian has an interesting take. I am amazed that Mrs. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan gets a Padma for her acting prowesses if not for being DIL alone of Bade Bhaiye Ji or because of this Con Artist’s art of manipulation! 

I wonder that some day I too will get the Padma Shri for being best blog writer!J Really!

If Barkha, Rajdeep and this year even; Shekhar Gupta managed to secure one for their time tested and life long  unflinching loyalty to Madame Sonia ‘Maino’ Gandhi! So may be then; I should not loose hope and pray for a communal Government at centre to bestow me one, some day.  J

Having said this, I once again salute the Brave hearts and wish you all ‘Happy Republic Day’. As each one of us are proud parts of this Republic.

By happenstance we are lucky to have survived 2008. PHEW! 

What a year that had been bombs raining all most everywhere! Not that we had any good year since 2004, but certainly 2008 was worst. I pay my humble tributes to all those fellow Indians who lost their lives at the altar of‘Secularism’ being practiced by our most ‘Effete’ Prime Minister Minion in the service of ‘Her Majesty’ government. 

I welcome you to year 2009 (This being my first post in 2009 after ‘Winter Hibernation’) with a pray in mind that at least this year we take a resolve to make India a safe place to live in. 

This year, as it is an election year as well, is a year to make a choice. 

A ‘Choice’ only we can make. We pride in self as the ‘largest and vibrant democracy’- which we indeed are – the year is here to make that choice. A ‘Choice’ between a ‘Strong, Stable and Prosperous’ India or yet again put on an ‘experiment’ only because he/she has some genetic order/disorder or the most ‘pliable one’ as we saw in Him and then again in case of HER. 

Year 2009 is the year to make this choice between National Interest orDynasty Interest. 

We are at the threshold of ‘Future’. Future is laid on some solid foundation. Foundation is not what can be experimented with. Or can it be? Answer is emphatically ‘No’. As I said the year is to make a choice. I urge all fellow Prudent Indians to act ‘Prudently’ and make the ‘choice’ if not for you; make the prudent choice for your/mine/our children. 

Regards,

PI.

 Shri Arun Jaitley of BJP speaking on UPA’ Govts ‘reluctant and half hearted’ measure to curb the menace of terrorism made the following concluding statement.

Sir, we are today paying the political cost of terror. We need an effective anti terror law as terrorism has its adverse effects. It can affect the investment environment in the country; it can divert economic resources from development to fighting terror; it can impact on social cohesion in a civil society and create a sectarian divide. Strong anti terror steps can even alienate a small section of people. Diversion of resources to anti terror steps can also affect our defense preparedness. With all these costs and a challenge to national sovereignty, let us today proclaim finally while we re-visit the anti terror law, an anti terror law is a secular law. It does not recognize religion or caste. It’s a law against terrorists and not against a community. Checks have to be imposed to prevent its misuse. Ordinary laws are not enough to deal with terror. But this law is only half a step of a reluctant government. As a Nationalist party we will campaign for the other half but yet support the half measure that you have taken. The only difference being that while we support this measure as a National necessity, the government and its allies appear to be more apologetic in bringing this measure.

Courtesy Yossarian, here is the full text of speech as made by him in Rajya Sabha during discussion on the NIA.

PI.

Two pointed insinuations are made…

1. The BJP gave in to the terrorists demands and released three dreaded terrorists.

And

2. Jaswant Singh, then Minister for Foreign Affairs, escorted these terrorists to safety.

Factually, yet only superficially, both these things are accurate.

But “WHY THIS WAS DONE?” is what these ‘secularists’ and Media guys have never revealed till date!

Skipping the details of the Kandahar Seize; let me focus on these two points.

1: The BJP surrendered to terrorists and released three dreaded terrorists.

Indeed, it was a shameful surrender. I personally wish that the Government of the Day had shown courage and not surrendered to the terrorist’s demands. But then; if wishes were horses, then beggars would ride.

Three terrorists were swapped for the lives of 200 Indians and foreigners. Contrast this with the release of five dreaded terrorists exchanged for Rubaiya Saeed’s release. The government of the late V P Singh accepted their demands and freed the jailed terrorists.

Neither the Secularists nor the Media ever make a mention of this incident! But both ‘Secularist’ and pliant MSM never tire of telling us persistently about the ‘abject’ surrender by the NDA government at Kandhaar!

NOW ISN’T THAT VERY CONVENIENT for both ‘Secularists’ and Se-Soc MSM to evade answering…

How could one Rubiya Saeed ’s life become more important than 200 lives of Indians and foreigners?
 

Was that just because she happens to be the daughter of near separatist-Mufti Md. Saeed – the Union Home Minister in the late VP SINGH’s Govt?

Any Answer? No, both MSM and their Secular Political Masters are conveniently silent on this matter.

200 Indians and foreigners v/s ‘one’ kidnapped daughter- (a kidnap that is alleged to have been stage-managed) - of ‘Secular’ Union Home Minister under the aegis of the Secular Most (now dead and forgotten Jai Chand of modern times).

I do not notice any outrage on the release of these five terrorists in exchange to Rubiya; whereas all hell breaks loose whenever IC 814 is mentioned! Mind you, release of these ‘five terrorists’ started the endless avalanche of terror not only in Kashmir but all overIndia.

Any person with any IQ (surely not including secularists, media, baba, babes, men and women of Congress) would concede that in the absence of any ‘No Negotiation with Terrorists’ policy, releasing these terrorists was imperative.

And why was it ‘imperative’?

A relentless hype created by the media to put pressure on the Govt of the Day. At ‘whose’ behest…is something that needs to be investigated.

The Media kept the pressure on the Govt and images of infuriated and agitated relatives of the hostages were beamed 24X7 on news channels.

Media invited experts of all hues and shades – I particularly remember watching a psychiatrist describing graphically the trauma these ‘hostages’ might be going through at that point of time. Now what effect that would have had on the psyche of the near and dear ones of these hostages is simply unimaginable – this was something that neither my late mother and I could bear. I do not hold the relatives of these hostages guilty; I often wonder whether I would have reacted any differently had my kith or kin been there? Frankly, I do not know.

Did MSM wait and ponder then?

I dare the MSM to release the tapes of those days when they petrified the already nervous and anxious relatives of the captives and hyped up the gruesome incident beyond all limits!

Will the Congress admit that they did send their goons guised as relatives of the hostages and vandalized the press conference of Atal Ji – then Prime Minister of India?

Will the apostle of ‘secularism’ Barkha Dutt and champion of ‘Saint Hood’ Rajdeep Sardesai ever release those tapes showing what really transpired? No, both Padma Shri awardees have been rewarded well in advance. They will never ever do anything that would question their commitment to ‘secularism’. After all, ‘Namak Halali’ by itself is a highly valued virtue in the ‘Service of Her Majesty’. HUH!

We have just recently witnessed the legendry wisdom of Sec –Soc MSM on display during the recent Mumbai Massacre. 

WHATEVER IT TAKES: To rake in mullah; TRPs, Padma Shris…

Well, things were not much different in December 1999 either. The only difference was that, many of these ‘eminent’ journalists were then part of one ‘Shop’ named Media House. Now they have their own kiosks and each one is trying to get his ‘share of loot’.

COMING TO MY SECOND POINT:

Jaswant Singh, then Minister for Foreign Affairs, escorted these terrorists to safety.

Amazing, isn’t it, that the BJP led NDA government could be so stupid and naïve to send Jaswant Singh to Kandahar!

Wait, I am not saying that it was stupid to go to Kandahar. It was the most prudent thing for Jaswant to do under the most trying circumstances. I have strong reasons to believe so.

First do keep in mind that.

1. 200 lives were in the hands of the ‘Islamic Butchers’ and they had already taken the life of Rupin Katyal a passenger on that hijacked flight.

2. The aircraft was in Kandahar and the Talibaan Govt (if any) was directly controlled by the Pakistani ISI.

3. The Talibaan never subscribed to any Geneva Convention nor did they ever have any respect for any rule or law. Hence to expect them to behave like a ‘Civilized Govt’ leave alone ‘sympathetic and cooperative’ was the most foolish thing to do!

4. The Aircraft was surrounded by rocket launcher wielding, Kalashnikovs carrying Talibaan fanatics.

Under the circumstances the ABV did the right thing by sending Jaswant Singh – then Foreign Minister of India, an astute diplomat and a senior man in the Cabinet -

1. To safely escort the 200 passengers and crew back home.
2. To oversee, supervise and if required, take appropriate on the spot decisions, especially when the highjackers and or their master in Islamabad and Kandahar could have raised any new demand.
3. What was the guarantee and who was willing to give - that the Taliban’s would have released the hostages or not blown up the plane even after the ‘terrorist’ were released? Isn’t it to Jaswant’s credit that nothing of this sort happened and other causalities were averted?
   

God forbid if any of the above mentioned had happened, I bet that the Secularists and their cohorts in MSM would have made such a hue and cry that the Govt would have been lynched on the streets of India. After all just after the Mumbai Mayhem, the same MSM launched a ‘vicious’ campaign against all Political Classes. This was clearly to divert the public ire against UPA and to be spread over all political classes.

Secularists and MSM have perfected the art of spreading the canard as gospel truth in the name of ‘secularism’.

But I will be less than honest to say that BJP and their leaders are alone to be blamed for the mess they find themselves in on this issue. What seemed like a prudent decision, with the right intention, at that moment in time, has become an ‘albatross’ around their neck and their being defensive on the issue is pathetic.

I wonder at times what good is their collective political acumen if they cannot put these things into perspective! What amazes me greatly is the fact that what occurs to a layman like me, does not occur to these legal luminaries in BJP!!!

Finally…

I am ready to excuse any political party since they are directly responsible /answerable to the Indian public. Good or bad as they are; is decided by the voting public. My grouse is against these so called opinion makers. Their role – though very crucial in any or for any vibrant democracy – is assumed / consumed by some self-serving, highly biased, politically motivated and ‘Self Importantly Busy Bodies’.

THIS IS TRULY SAD AND PATHETIC.

 Naval Chief Admiral Suresh Mehta has set the tail of Indian Media on fire. Indian Main Stream Media mostly – Secular, Social, Liberal and Progressive (!) is outraged.

Admiral Mehta while addressing a press conference on the eve of Navy day passed some scathing remarks on the way media covered the recent Mumbai Mayhem and passed some strictures against the ‘reigning queen’ of Indian Media: Ms. Barkha Dutt.

This is what Admiral Mehta said.

When operations were taking place, the channels were reporting that commandos were being airdropped. The terrorists were in live contact with their masters, who were keeping them informed. Such minute-by-minute coverage can be detrimental to conduct of operations. We are disturbed by such reporting. […] link.

The whole world knows the way Media reported. They are themselves to be blamed for the way they covered the National Emergency. But then it wasn’t any thing more than a ‘media event’ for them (sic!).

Admiral Mehta did not spare Ms. Barkha Dutt and made an observation about her‘alleged misdemeanor’ during the time of Kargil war. This is what Admiral has been reported saying…

Singling out a lady journalist from an English news channel, Mehta, who is also the chairman of chiefs of staff committee, said irresponsible coverage of the war had compromised the safety of troops and led to the death of three soldiers. He said this particular journalist had cajoled an army colonel to demonstrate the firing of an artillery gun (Bofors) to capture a great shot on the camera. He said the colonel was later dismissed from service. […] link.

As for the ‘alleged misdemeanor’ of Ms. Barkha during Kargil operation, you’re truly has no way to either confirm or deny. If  just as The Admiral Charge Ms. Dutt with, it is a serious issue and need to be investigated. For sure, this is not the first time this charge has been made. And, let me add, coming this from a serving Admiral, this charge is too serious to be dismissed offhand.

I at least tend to believe Admiral more for the simple reason, I do not trust Media. Especially, the Sec Soc 24×7 channels.

In any democratic set up media has a role to play and is an integral part of the set up. But few individuals can not arrogate to selves or can proclaim selves, as the entire‘media’. Media is an institution and no individual is above that. Ms. Barkha Dutt, A Rajdeep Sardesai, Some Vir Sanghvi is not entire media. Equating entire media with all or any of these ‘Maharathis’ reminds me of a Barua saying: Indira is Indiaand India is Indira.

What I do not understand is: Post Mumbai Mayhem, when everyone is being questioned,why should the Media be spared and excluded from questioning/scurtiny for the role it played when the “operation flushing out terrorists” was still on?

Why should the MSM not be held accountable for its omission and commissions? Is MSM above law? Is MSM beyond reapproach?

Reacting strongly to these allegations against the media, Dr. Prannoy Roy, President, NDTV, told HT: The Hindustan Congress Times.

What he (Admiral) said is completely untrue and malicious. We have asked for a retraction and a public apology as these amounts to defamation.

Oh Ya Dr. Roy! Go and sue Admiral! How could the Admiral say these things about the Star of Indian nauseating News Channels! Right to abuse, slanders, cast apprehensions, destroy reputations, labeling and defaming people and parties etc. is the sole prerogative of Indian main stream media! Huh!

Another Star journalist of Congress stable;  Vir Sanghavi of The Hindustan Congress Times, has this to say about theServing  Admiral:

If this is the level of the navy’s leadership, are we surprised that the terrorists came in so easily? The Navy Chief should ponder over the damage his foolish press conference has done his service. The Navy deserves better.

Vir Sanghavi shamelessly hesitates not for a second to pass on judgment on theNaval Chief of India -who arose to become what he is, not because of his gene pool or the family he belongs too, but for his professional skills, commitment and service to nation. Where is the restraint and sagacity? Shame on you Vir!

At any given point of time, I reteriate, would believe the Admiral  than a mere sycophant of Sonia. PERIOD.

Let Vir and his ilk come up with an answer.

The three journalists that Sonia gave exclusive interviews to so far after the drama –Vir Sanghavi, Barkha Dutt and the Master of all Rajdeep Sardesai – let them tell the world that the questionnaires were not given to Madame Sonia’s aides in advance?

Let these three people answer.

· Where was this outrage when Rajdeep sat over the tapes?

· Where was your ‘morality’ when a kid Aarushi’s death was slandered and made a’soap opra’ on prime time 24X7 Channels? Has any of you tendered an apology? 

· What the f*** did you do when a school teacher was molested publicly at the behest of another 24X7 channel?

· Where the hell was your outrage when a man was prompted to ‘immolate’ self inPatiala in Punjab and some place in Bihar while the cameras captured live and beamed live/ recorded?

· Let these Sec Soc journalists tell the nation and release the tapes of period when IC 814happened and let the world judge how these guys (MSM) behaved post Godhara too.

· Let the nation know for what reasons Barkha and Rajdeep, along with the Secular Jehadi Teesta Setalwad were rewarded with ‘Padmashris’ by Madame Sonia’s Govt.

· What did the Congress rag carry  the day of election in Delhi on its front page Nov 2008?

· What kind of survey did Vir’s paper carry on front page ‘Banner News’ the morning after  terrorists struck  Mumbai Nov 2008?

· What has been Ms Barkha’s channel doing by ‘spreading’ the blame on all political class for the failure of Madame Sonia and her handpicked Prime Minion?

· What did these guys and gals do when ‘Your President’ was being selected and imposed upon a Billion strong Nation?

· How much ‘expose’ you did when most of those witnesses in fodder scam commit ‘mysterious’ suicides or got killed in ‘accidents’?

· Did you guys have the guts to publish this photograph and tell what the ‘Hindu Fanatics’ were protesting about in Baroda?

. What probity you guys showed when Madame’s friend Mr.‘Q’ ran away with the money? What has been the follow up?

. Explain please why has this been not made a news item on any of your 24×7 channels or Newspaper?

Any answer?

No. Because In Rajdeep’s own words - with my ‘communal’ comments in between – this Journalist “Mange More” and “Hamam Mein Sab Nnange Hain”. Bikul Nange.

Another reason for the problem is the changing self-image of the journalist, and his role in a democratic system. For a long time the journalist’s role was seen to be that of an independent observer of events. But observation alone can be rather tedious and not very financially productive either. So, over the years, the journalist has chosen to move from the margins of the fourth estate to being firmly on the centre stage, closer to the first estate(read first family Sonia Gandhi’). Ideological corruption is as much a part in this process as anything else. A journalist can get close to a political party (read Congress), business house (read Reliance Anil Ambani Group)or an individual (read Guru Amar Singh) in a manner that compromises his (read the journalists) independence. Having acquired that proximity (with Congress and the Maino family), thejournalist can then use his clout on a larger scale, playing kingmaker in cementing political alliances (we saw that you doing Rajdeep as you hid the tapes) at the centre or in providing the (Help winning the political and/or pay masters) link between a minister in the Union cabinet (?) and a business house (we all know, who and whose behest.) in need of a favor. (Yes, do tell us please: this is to serve the greatest cause of saving Hindustan from Communal forces?!)

PI asks these worthies…

Has Madame Sonia Gandhi given any interview to anyone else with the exception ofPadmashri Barkha Dutt Ben, Padmashri Rajdeep Sardesai Bhai and still not decorated Vir Sanghvi? If yes, then name him/her please and if NOT then why?And why only to you ‘three’? Answer if you can.

Or else, Mr/Ms/Mrs/ of Indian Media; shut up.

Even before the tears of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan’s mother could dry up, Congress general secretary and heir apparent Rahul Gandhi who hold License to Rule went partying with his pals at a farmhouse on Delhi’s outskirts.

Rahul in party mood soon after Mumbai crisis

Mail Today Bureau

New Delhi, December 1, 2008

The Prince partied hard, till 5 in the morning, on Sunday at the ‘sangeet’ for the forthcoming wedding of Samir Sharma, his childhood friend. They were at a sprawling farmhouse at Radhey Mohan Chowk, the haven of people who lead charmed lives beyond Chhatarpur.

 

Just a day earlier, his sister Priyanka Vadra had caused a flutter by saying the late Indira Gandhi would have “made us very proud” by the way she would have reacted to the Mumbai terror strikes. Mumbai appeared to be far from her brother’s mind as he boogied at the farmhouse with Samir Sharma, US-based furniture designer son of Captain Satish Sharma, the late Rajiv Gandhi’s flying partner who nursed the First Family’s pocketborough, Rae Bareli, till Sonia Gandhi chose to contest from there in 2004.

The Prince seemed to be completely out of sync with the mood of the nation post-26/11. Since Wednesday night, officials have been cancelling parties they were meant to host and even restaurants called off special events.

Saturday night’s ‘sangeet’ was a lavish affair. It was hosted by Leena Musafir, sister of the woman with whom Samir is getting married, and her husband Inder. The party was attended by over 800 guests, including regulars at Page 3 dos. “When everyone is cancelling parties or just keeping them low-key, Rahul Gandhi had no business to be celebrating. His action makes us lose faith in future leaders,” said Ajay Bahl, a leading corporate lawyer who was trapped in the thick of the action on 26/11 at The Oberoi, Mumbai, but managed to escape with the help of the hotel staff.

The Gandhis, including Sonia Gandhi’s mother Paola Maino, were present in strength at the 2004 wedding of Samir’s sister, Sarika, who is married to actorturned- TV producer Rahul Bhatt. Sarika and Rahul now manage a television production house.

The two families may be very close — Captain Sharma and his wife, Sterre, were present throughout the very private wedding of Priyanka Gandhi and Robert Vadra — but the circumstances now are very different.

As a guest at the ‘sangeet’ remarked on the condition of anonymity, “We were all partying, but none of us is a public person. Rahul Gandhi, however, is. He must be more responsible in his social appearances.

 The ‘Buck’ should stop at ‘Her’ for inflicting Man Manmohan Singh as Prime Minion and PP as You’re President.

A week is a long time in politics: We Know. Terror is here to stay: We know that as well. Terror has no religion and affects all, and bullets and bombs do not discriminate any on any basis: We know that Sir.

These days the ‘Main Stream Media’ has added another cliché to their already rich vocabulary and that is: DO NOT POLITICISE TERROR. This is being used to browbeat the opposition and sweep the utter failure of these ‘secular snake charmers’ at almost all fronts – under the carpet.

Barabar Indian has rightly pointed out 

One can not help wondering after watching the chaotic, erratic, cacophonic coverage of some of our secular media that perhaps the dynastic factor is leaving out some of the able reporters on the street” 

An equally well written and apt post here has exposed this as “Manmohan Singh’s politics of politicisation” and I agree with this blogger that  

Cynics might wonder how you can not politicize something when the person talking about it is the Prime Minister, the highest constitutional authority in town (barring the titular President of course)–a political post. When the PM says something, it is by default politicized.

The Political Midgets like Prime Minion need a battery of these Sec Soc terror apologists masquerading as Journalists to keep the opposition under check. Every issue is sought to be ‘obfuscated’ by the Prime Minion and his gang by mouthing this platitudes like: DO NOT POLITICISE TERROR.

WTF, if the issues like ‘terror’ which has claimed so many Indians and keep revisiting us every where and any where NEED NOT BE POLITICISED then what is to be politicized? What color Prime Minion wear under his pants? That too ‘if at all’ he wears one? After all his ASS is well protected, it is people like  you and me – AAM ADAMI - whose ASS is blown UP every time any city is Bombed!

As for the ‘Shock’ this Prime Minion expresses each and every time, here read Kanchan Gupta.

PI.

‘Shocked’ PM forgets his terrible record

Kanchan Gupta

The Congress believes, yes it really does, that its leaders alone have the right to ‘politicise’ national security while others should treat it as a ‘national issue’ above partisan politics. So, the Congress has been prompt in berating the BJP for suggesting that the pusillanimous UPA Government is to blame for the repeated terrorist strikes and the attendant death, destruction and devastation across the country. The 60-hour siege of Mumbai by fidayeen is the latest instance of India suffering yet another grievous blow at the hands of jihadis for whom slaughtering innocent people is the highest tribute to their faith. But after reprimanding the BJP for criticising the Government and thus ‘politicising’ terrorism, the Congress has had no compunctions about ‘politicising’ the grief and misery inflicted by mass murderers. On Saturday, the Congress issued a full-page advertisement in its favourite newspaper, listing the various terrorist strikes during the NDA years, casually mentioning the fidayeen attacks in Mumbai, saluting the security personnel killed in these incidents, and then preachily declaring that terrorism is a “national issue, not a political game”. The purpose was to influence people in Delhi hours before they stepped out of their homes to cast their votes in Saturday’s Assembly election.

The advertisement raises two issues, both related to political morality and ethics, which are alien to the Congress and its amoral and unethical leaders.First, according to this advertisement, there have been no terrorist attacks in India between the audacious strike on the Red Fort on December 22, 2000, and the November 26, 2008 assault on Mumbai. This, as every Indian knows, is a blatant lie. I have before me a list of terrorist attacks ever since the present impotent regime headed by an effete Prime Minister took charge of this country’s affairs after a scrambled election result helped the Congress to regain power at the Centre in the summer of 2004. The first attack was on August 16, 2004. The latest was on November 26, 2008. In between we have had terrorists visiting Delhi twice, raiding the Ram Mandir at Ayodhya, attacking Sankat Mochan temple in Varanasi, blowing up commuter trains in Mumbai, killing people at an amphitheatre in Hyderabad, blowing up bogies of the Samjhauta Express, and setting off bombs in Jaipur, Ahmedabad and Assam. According to the propagandists of the Congress, none of this has happened!

The second issue raised by Saturday’s advertisement is about the Congress saluting the security personnel who have laid down their lives while fighting terrorists and protecting the nation. If any value is to be attached to the advertisement, we must conclude that the Congress is reluctant to salute Inspector Mohan Chand Sharma of Delhi Police who, like Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad chief Hemant Karkare, was shot dead by terrorists. This is because the Congress wanted to send out, ever so slyly, a message to Muslim voters in Jamia Nagar for whom MC Sharma is not a hero but a villain because he dared raid a terrorist hideout in their locality. We must also presume, since there is no evidence to the contrary, that the advertisement was endorsed, if not cleared, by the Prime Minister. This speaks volumes about the integrity quotient of a man whose honesty, as claimed by his admirers, admittedly a rapidly disappearing exotic breed, is beyond reproach. Perhaps the Prime Minister needs to be reminded that only cowards take recourse to lies to cover up their failures.

Meanwhile, we had the occasion to hear the Prime Minister address a shaken nation 24 hours after the siege of Mumbai began. In his by now familiar laboured style, he expressed his “shock” at “the dastardly terror attacks. “I strongly condemn these acts of senseless violence,” he added. So what’s new?“I share the shock and distress of all those affected by these blasts,” the Prime Minister said on October 29, 2005, after the bombings in Delhi on Dhanteras. He was “shocked” on March 7, 2006, after the Sankat Mochan temple bombing. On July 12, 2006, he did not quite say that he was ‘shocked’by the Mumbai commuter train bombings, but he did say, “No one can make India kneel” and promised that his “Government will do whatever is required”to deal with terrorism. On February 19, 2007, the Prime Minister was more than‘shocked’ by the Samjhauta Express bombings — he was “anguished” and promised the “culprits will be caught”. On hearing about the serial bombings in Jaipur on May 13, 2008, the Prime Minister was again “shocked” and condemned “this dastardly attack”. On July 28, 2008, after visiting Ahmedabad following the serial bombings, he took care to mention that he accompanied Ms Sonia Gandhi before expressing “solidarity with the people of Gujarat”. On September 13, 2008, he “condemned the serial blasts in Delhi”; a month-and-a-half later, on October 30, 2008, he “strongly condemned” the Assam bombings.

The Prime Minister now mocks at the victims of terrorism and seeks to fool the people of this country by declaring, “We are not prepared to countenance a situation in which the safety and security of our citizens can be violated with impunity by terrorists… We will take the strongest possible measures to ensure that there is no repetition of such terrorist attacks.”

Having countenanced repeated terrorist attacks, which the Congress now brazenly pretends never took place, and silently witnessed the safety and security of our citizens being violated with impunity by terrorists, the Prime Minister now expects the people to believe that he shall join battle with the merchants of death. To prove that he means business, he had his Government, such as it is, to put out the bogus claim that he had summoned the Director-General of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence and the Pakistani Government had meekly conceded his demand. In an interview to Karan Thapar for his television show, Devil’s Advocate, Pakistan’s President Asif Ali Zardari has rubbished this claim. According to Mr Zardari, the Prime Minister, in a telephonic talk with him on Friday, had requested for sending a ‘director’ — a mid-level bureaucrat in the official hierarchy. “There was a miscommunication… We had announced that a director will come from my side… That is what was requested by the Prime Minister and that is what we agreed,” Mr Zardari said.

That the Prime Minister, after all his bluster, should settle for talks with a director of the Pakistan Government so as to “take the strongest possible measures to ensure that there is no repetition of such terrorist acts” is a measure of his true intention.
