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.

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.

Regards,

PI.

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.

Mr. Prime Minister,

Sack this Pakistani mole in your cabinet kicking on his ass. 

This non sense by a senior minister happens only in your Cabinet. 

This statement from a senior minister can only be constured as ‘SIMPLY DESH-DROH.’
And let me tell you Mr. PM that any one who presides over these ‘Creature’ is as much a DESHDROHI if not more. 

PI.

Hello my fellow Prudent Indians,

I appreciate Mr. Arun Poorie for initiating ‘Pledge to win this war’. 

Together We can and We WILL  
Win this ‘war’ which has been

Forced upon us:
Finally and Decisively. 

I have pledged to fight against this ‘imposed war’, have you?

If not, then log in here and do it NOW .

 I am no fan of Raj. Neither support what his goons are up to in Mumbai. In my earlier post ‘This Man Has Gone Nuts!’ had said…

 

It is the constitutional right of every citizen to go, work, and reside in any part of the country with out fear. Punjab is for Punjabis, Gujarat is for Gujaratis or Maharashtra is for Marathi’s … so on and forth is as divisive and dangerous as the ‘Islamic’ Terrorism. Let us be clear. 

But are the Laloos and Mulayams and Paswans - “Cow Belt Politicians” - ‘Saints’? 

 

If Raj is playing ‘identity’ politics then what have these MahaRathis been doing? What has been Karunanidhi doing by collecting resiginatation letters from all his party MPs to save LTTE in the name of Tamils ?

Arrest Raj and prosecute him by all means, he deserve no sympathy. But at the same time take these so called ‘bleeding heart’ cow belt politicians to task too. 

Here are my few posers to these Cow Belt Politicians, who are too busy playing cynical politics with an (or both or even the third one too) eye on their vote share. As Biharis and UP people constitute the largest chunk of ‘migrants’ in any Indian city it is pertinent to ask few straight question from these so called leaders. 

1. Why do only Bihari and UP migrant are being attacked? Mumbai has large nos of Punjabis, Gujjus, Marwaris as well.
2. What has Bihar and UP state leaders done to provide their people opportunities to earn ‘honest’ livelihood?
3. What make these poor people leave their place of birth and go miles away to do just some ‘menial work’?
4. Who are responsible for the sorry plight of these migrants who live in slums under sub-human conditions?
5. Instead of mouthing ‘platitudes’ what these so called leaders of poor people have done for these very poor people?
6. How many developmental activities are/were undertaken in these states so that ample opportunities are/were created for people to earn near their homes?
7. Why do not people from other North Indian states like Punjabis, Himachalis, Rajasthanis or even people from Madhya Pradesh migrate in such large nos. to other cities and that too; for doing‘menial jobs’! Ever wonder! 

Let me answer few…

1. These cow belt leaders are the worst enemies of their states. No one – not even a single one (possibly Nitish can be excluded from this list) ever thought of – leave alone planned and do some thing – for the welfare of their states. Whenever they got an opportunity – remember Laloo had brute majority and had he wanted he could have brought a revolution in Bihar. After all just after Independence Bihar was the most well administrated state – But Laloo kept focus on his own aggrandizement and brazenly looted the poor people’s money.
2. Fate of UP is equally bad if not worst. These two most populated states have done nothing to create jobs for their people. They (citizens) have only two options a). To become criminal or b). To migrate to other city for an ‘honest’ living. Here lies the malaise. Most of them do ‘menial work’ (pulling rickshaws, Collies, construction laborers, etc – not even technical ones). They live in shanty houses in slums. IS THIS WHAT THEY LEFT THEIR HOMES AND FAMILIES FOR? Is this what Laloo, Mulayam, Paswaan and their ilk wish for them?
3. Leaders like Cow belt Politicians exploit them and use abuse them for electoral gains only. 

What we have been watching in utter dismay is: the ‘Cynical Vote Bank Politics’. Blaming Raj alone and arresting him will only help Raj and his brand of ‘regionalism’ and shall bring no succor to these people. Except may be scoring some political brownie points.

No doubt, Raj is guilty but others like Laloos and Mulayams who are demanding ban on Raj and his party are equally guilty if not the ‘Principal Culprits’. 

Last but not least…

Constitution guarantee us the freedom to go and settle at any part of the country we wish to without fear or discrimination and it is the Governments duty to ensure that. However, states can not shrug off their responsibilities and one of which is: To provide the opportunities for earning a decent, honest livelihood to its citizens near home with dignity intact. Is this too much to ask for?

I can understand if a man/woman in service migrates to other State/City in course of discharging his/her duties. 

I can understand if an actor or any other professional moves to another city/state for it being hub of that activity/profession, thus for better career prospects.

I can understand if some one moves to another city/state for exploring ‘business opportunities’ or even moving to other place for simply because he/she likes that place more… 

I can and do understand that people migrate for better prospects and opportunities… your truly too lived in many cities in course of discharging my duties. 

All above are understandable BUT…

1. Migrating to do menial jobs!
2. Migrating to live in sub-human conditions – away from families, friends - and that too for very meager income! 

I do not understand. 

But as I argued above, it is not the migrants fault. It is the betrayal of their trust by the so called leaders. Equally – though it is cruel to say – these people tooare themselves to blame for. They ignored far too long ‘development’ and ‘Governance’ as issues and preferred cast considerations and phony ’secularism’ when they voted. And this is exactly what these so called leaders exploited and has been still. While those who espouse their cause and do little, fattened on their votes and loyalties – just see the pink cheeks of Laloo or Paswaan or Mulayam or any of their kith and kin and contrast with fellow ‘people’ they claim to represent, will know what I am talking about – these hapless men/women are left to fend for selves. 

I see no difference between Raj and these ‘Cow belt Politicians’.

Raj arrested! Good!

NOW time to arrest these leaders as well, go for the “root cause” or are root cause ‘logic’ reserved for only ‘secular bombers’? MSM and Civil Liberities champions, any answer?

I repeat… 

It is the constitutional right of every citizen to go, work, and reside in any part of the country with out fear. Punjab is for Punjabis, Gujarat is for Gujaratis or Maharashtra is for Marathi’s… so on and forth is as divisive and dangerous as the ‘Islamic’ Terrorism. Let us be clear.

 Finally wisdom dawned upon Ratan Tata and he decided to move to the ‘most happening’ industrial state ‘Gujarat’. No doubt Tata’s are the most Prudent industrial house. 

I read in some paper Ratan Tata saying somewhat ‘Bad M to Good M’ - meaning Bad Mamta to Good Modi – surmises all. 

Nano to Gujarat is the best ‘Durga Puja’ gift Mamta could have ever gifted to Gujaratis.  

Sure Mamta Baneerjee knows the perfect art of shooting self in assfoot. No one else can match her‘Maverick Behavior’ displayed too often. For long time to come Mamta will have to carry the cross for denying the God send opportunity to the Bengali people. Some thing which could have brought West Bengal back to some semblance of sanity. Communist governments under Jyoti Basu - whom my Bengali friend refer to as “the worst thing ever happened to Bengal - systematically turned West Bengal from ‘Industrial Hub’ to ‘Graveyard of Industries’ to the point of no return. 

I do not feel sorry for Mamta, though I agree she is not the only one to blame. Perhaps Bengalis deserve the leaders they reelect elections after elections. Soory, for you folks. 

Now Gujarat has always been known for its ‘enterprising acumen’ and seldom will Gujaratis let an opportunity slip from their hands. They proved it yet again why they are the most Prudent Indians. Gujaratis demonstrated their ‘prudence’ by reelecting Narrendra Modi  first with a thumping majority despite all the odds, and Narrendra Bhai has proved his leadership by moving swiftly, efficiently and energetically. This is what a truly progressive leader should do.

Kudos to Gujaratis. Kudos to Narrendra Bhai Damodar Dass Modi. 

“What will be Nano known as from now on” a morning walker mate asked me in morning. NANO GUJARATI, I said jubilantly. 

“What color Nano be painted with?” he asked.

Safforn is the best color, I replied. 

“It will be interesting to watch ‘Secular Jihadis’ squirm”, He said. I smiled 

What a shame Nano shifted from the citadel of ‘secularism’ to the bastion of ‘Communalism’. 

East (West Bengal) to West (Gujarat) Modi’s Gujarat is best.

NANO GUJARATI has finally arrived.

Hail Nano Gujarati, Hail Narrendra Modi!

I am loving it.

Yesterday in this post I published the above pic which explains every thing that is ailing the Billion plus SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC called India. 

Today, The Pioneer published Mr. Krishan Kak’s scathing satire on the recent pay hike of Your President and other worthies. It is an interesting read. Reproducing this small post as Pioneer’s site does not hold the links permanently. 

Enjoy, and do give a look at the Pic above.

A well-deserved 300 % pay hike! 

Second opinion: Krishen Kak 

On September 11 The Pioneer informed the Indian taxpayer that the Government had hiked by a modest 300 per cent the pay of certain constitutional authorities.When our economy is so obviously flourishing, its reins in the hands of a troika of distinguished economists, why should we begrudge our President, Vice-President and Governors their share in it? 

Consider the onerous nature of their duties, which include the ability to count legislators, provide them enough opportunity to cobble together majorities, and to ensure their own selector’s writ runs large within their dominions. They, in their high offices, are to theaam admi the living representations of our cherished Constitution that we hold so sacred.

So, if the public exchequer pays them a salary beyond the wildest dreams of the republic’s common man, why should it be grudged? Why should the people sulk if the public exchequer provides them munificent perquisites? Lodging is luxurious and free, travel and transportation is on the Government, the servants are numerous, and the most expensive medical attention is guaranteed without any expenses. That is to the constitutional authority; not to the taxpayer. But then again, who cares about the latter?

On top of this, these constitutional authorities enjoy great discretion in deciding what they should pay for and what they can bill to the taxpayer. Being a former Governor’s Secretary at one time, I know they bill to the taxpayer many personal expenses. For example, they bill to the taxpayer personal gifts, personal toiletry items, expenses of their personal guests, etc. The valuable gifts they receive in their public capacity frequently end up not in the sarkari toshakhana but in their private baggage. Some may call it daylight robbery but then again, who cares about those voices?
At one time constitutional authorities were considered ‘public servants’. However, the Chief Justice of India recently declared that constitutional authorities are not public servants. The inflation rate for the aam admi is 12 per cent and monthly savings have become a distant dream of the good old days. But then again, who cares for the aam admi? As long as they cough up, who cares? Ah, for the loaves and fishes of constitutional office!
