Kejriwal's party invites corrupt Bengal leader to party

Nothing can get more ironical than this. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) of Arvind Kejriwal and his fellow crusaders against corruption has decided to rope in a leader, who is accused of endless charges of corruption, to strengthen its presence in West Bengal.

The leader is former CPI(M) MP from Arambag Anil Basu who was expelled by his party for indulging in anti-party activities.

Once a party strongman, Basu is accused in the Sainbari murder case of 1970, factionalism, breach of discipline, a medicine purchase scam. The man also allegedly changed his real name of Manik Roy to evade law. He was suspended for three months initially for indulging in corruption but later was expelled for attacking the party's top leadership. The man, however, is in a dilemma on responding to AAP's call for he has been trying hard to return to his old party.

The anti-Basu factions in the CPI(M) in Hoogli district from where he hails are strongly objecting to his comeback and if Basu indeed fails to make it, the AAP can be an alternative option for him. Basu, who won the 2004 Lok Sabha election by nearly six lakh votes which is a record, has admitted that Kejriwal's team contacted him although he is still to take a final decision.

Praising the AAP for including honest people in its camp, Basu said he is yet to understand the new party's mode of functioning and has sought information on that aspect. However, it is not people like Basu who are the real concern. The question is: Is this how Kejriwal and his team aim to fight corruption? By roping in accused and discarded leaders from other parties? What about corruption in non-Congress and non-BJP states? That the Kejriwalist brand of politics is a paralysed one is proved by this move of the AAP in West Bengal.

The party's fight is mainly against the two national parties, namely, the Congress and BJP. Kejriwal's series of exposes have been mainly directed against members of either of these two national parties. There is hardly any new line of thinking to fight corruption in states where none of these two parties are in power. The AAP's political activism is mainly confined to the circles in and around Delhi. It has virtually no idea about how the political complexes look like in other parts of the country, for example, in West Bengal, where it has sought cooperation from an utterly corrupt leader to fight against corruption.

Does the AAP's idea of anti-corruption crusade basically mean an anti-establishment crusade? In Bengal, where neither the Congress nor the BJP are in a position of power, who will the AAP target while mobilising the Aam Aadmi? The Mamata Banerjee government? Whatever be its plan, the AAP will commit a political harakiri if it tries in take on Mamata Banerjee in Bengal with the help of a dumped CPI(M) leader.

It is also clear that the AAP has not done any homework before taking a step towards making India corruption-free. It was expected that political naivete of the AAP will be exposed the moment it embarks on a decentralisation drive for top-down political ventures never work that way.

Exposing corrupt politicians before the media time and again is one thing while getting into the real world of political complexities is something else.

The AAP's judgement to include a leader like Anil Basu in its fight against corruption in Bengal not only reveals how uninformed the crusaders really are outside the circles of the national capital region but also makes its entire plan to uproot corruption look ineffective.

News CoUrtesty : news.oneindia.in

If this is true, this should not be a surprise.Especially since, when allegations were raised against his associates like Mr.Prashant Bhushan, Kejriwal had announced an internal Lokpal !!

Almost the same way, RSS asked it's own man Mr.Gurumurthy to give good certificate to their nominee Mr.Nitin Gadkari.

Any way people who had great expectations from Kejriwal would be extremely disappointed with this news...

Anil Kumble on Sachin Tendulkar

So much has been said and written about Sachin Tendulkar over the last quarter of a century, about his contributions to Indian and world cricket, about what a great ambassador of the game he has been, and about his longevity. I personally feel whatever praise and adulation has come Sachin's way is well deserved, because there simply isn't, and will never be, another cricketer like him.

Sachin was the 187th Indian to play Test cricket. The last debutant for India was R. Vinay Kumar, No. 274. If I am right, nearly 60% of the 87 players who made their Test debut for India after Sachin have already retired from the game. That, to me, is the perfect illustration of the desire, hunger and commitment that have driven Sachin to turn out match after match, and perform more often than he has failed.

He broke in to the Indian team when only 16, and for 23 years, he has carried not only the team on his shoulders but also the expectations of a billion people. He has done that in style and without fuss, taking all challenges in his stride and never shying away from a contest.

I made my debut two series after Sachin, and for a long time in our careers, we had similar challenges. The general consensus even in his early days was that Sachin would go on to become not just the best Indian batsman ever but also the best batsman in the world, the scorer of the most runs and hundreds in Tests and One Day Internationals, the holder of all records imaginable. That was the expectations he had to face as a teenager, and he has proved everyone right.

I was branded someone who wasn't ideal for Test cricket, who could at best be a restrictive One-Day bowler. My challenge, therefore, was to prove people wrong, and I was fortunate enough to do that in my own way. I have been retired for four years now, but Sachin is still going on, and for the first time in his career, he is faced with a similar challenge to mine—that of proving everyone wrong. And I am confident he will succeed just like he has done over so many years.

For the first time, people are questioning his place in the team. The expectations are that he should retire because his performances over the last year or so haven't matched the standards he has set over the previous 22 years. Yes, we have not seen the best of Sachin in this phase, but it is not just him alone. If you look at the overall picture, the team has struggled in Test cricket, so are we suggesting that India are still a one-man army, still totally dependent on Sachin? I think not.

It used to be so for a long time, make no mistake. But once people like Rahul, Sourav, Laxman and Sehwag came in, the pressure on Sachin the individual was shared by the others. That was one of the major reasons for the success of the Indian team because the other batsmen rallied around him. But even though the Indian batting is no longer just about Sachin, I can state with certainty that every opposition discusses him at length, he continues to be a massive wicket. Teams know that he can come good any time and they know what damage he can do once he gets going, so oppositions treat Sachin with the same regard today as they did one year back, I don't see that as having changed.

Sachin's contribution extends beyond the field of play. It's about what he has been to Indian cricket, to world cricket, and about how many people he has inspired with his deeds and his conduct. He certainly is not young anymore and has been through a whole lot of injuries but, every time, he has come up trumps. He has managed his body, the pressure and the expectations of a nation with a finesse that is all too rare, and he has done that for the last 23 years—that's why he is so revered and admired. I am sure he and we would like to see that Sachin now.

But he is like any other player in that from time to time, everyone goes through a tough phase. This is the time when you need to give him space for him to think about what he needs to rectify rather than put all kinds of negative thoughts in his mind. People are asking if it is time for him to go. That's a question people ask in India when you cross 30; the only difference is that in Sachin's case, it has come at 39. But just four innings back, before the start of the England series, he made a hundred for Mumbai against Railways in the Ranji Trophy.

I know you can't compare a first-class attack with the English attack, but that century showed that he still has the hunger, the drive and the focus. I am sure when he was batting for Mumbai, the thought of people pressuring him to retire was not there. But possibly when he walks into the Test arena, this is what he has had to encounter. This is the time for him to be left alone. He is such a great player that he doesn't need anyone else's advice on how to score runs. He just needs people to back off and allow him to work out what he needs to return to run-scoring ways, which I am confident he will.

The performances and the mindset of the Indian team are not helping Sachin, either. India have won just three Tests in the last year, all at home, which probably has magnified his failures. But he is not your regular No.4 batsman. He has been synonymous with the Indian team, with cricket, and people have taken up cricket because of him. When you have all these attributes, you can't dismiss him and his contributions on the back of a couple of poor performances. It might be easy to sit at home and say emotion should be set aside and decisions should be made only on the back of cold logic, but given the emotions that have accompanied Sachin's journey, that is unrealistic.

At 39, it's more of a mental battle for a batsman while it is always a physical grind for a bowler. Physical fitness is paramount, of course, but the mind needs to be fresh and it doesn't help when the mind is bogged down by negative thoughts implanted by extraneous forces. The only issue with age is that no matter how fit you are, the recovery gets tougher and takes longer. But knowing Sachin for this long, I can say that he is exceptionally tough mentally and still does every physical routine to prepare himself for every Test. He has followed a fantastic work ethic. In all my years of playing and watching the game, I haven't seen anyone else adapt to conditions better or faster than Sachin.

For 23 years, he has helped people dream, he has made them feel better emotionally. More's the reason why we need to give him his emotional space now. There have been instances when he has been the sole reason for India's wins, but he has never been the sole reason for India's losses. It's best to leave it to him to deal with what is in front of him now, because no one else has been in his position. No one else has played 192 Tests, made 34,000 runs, or scored 100 centuries. Let's not jump the gun, let's give the man the respect he deserves.

Does the RSS has some thing to hide ?

Is the RSS a silent partner in BJP president Nitin Gadkari's all illegal shell company dealings???

Or does Mr.Gadkari knows some ugly secrets about the RSS or it's leaders, which if releaved will be highly damaging to the RSS?? 

Seems so, if one go by their complete support to him..

There are serious corruption charges against Mr.Gadkari..

Mr.Gadkari insulted Swami Vivekanada by comparing His IQ to India's most wanted terrorist dawood ibrahim..

Not a single RSS leader reacted to that strange comparison, atleast no reaction was forthcoming publicly.!!


There is virtually a revolt in the BJP over Gadkari's continuation as the party president..

Still what does RSS do? It assigns it's own man Mr.S Gurumurthy to give a certificate of being non-corrupt to Gadkari !!

It could also be that the RSS leaders are so arrogant that come what may, they don't want to change the person whom they 'helicoptered into the party president-ship chair'..!!

What ever it is, current situation is not doing the BJP or it's remote control, the RSS any good..

Continued shockers from Kerala

In yet another shocker, police in Kerala have arrested a man on charges of sexually abusing his two minor daughters for the past two years.

The plight of the two girls -- aged 13 and 15 -- came to light following a complaint by the man''s wife, police said.

The man, a hotel employee, arrested near Kadurthuruthi in Kottayam district yesterday, has been charged under sections 376 (rape) and 377 (unnatural offences) of the IPC.

The mother, who had just returned from work, was informed by the crying girls about the assault after which she informed the police.

The incident comes close on the heels of a similar incident from Dharmadom in Kannur district where a 13-year-old girl had been sexually assaulted by her father, 15-year-old brother and an uncle for nearly two years. All the three have been arrested.

Kerala Home Minister Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan said in Thiruvananthapuram that police had been asked to conduct a thorough probe into both the cases and bring the culprits to book without delay. Reports - msn.com.

Not sure what's happening in 'God's own Country'..
The so-called 100% literacy and the claimed high living conditions, does not seem to have a positive impact on moral values..

Cases such as these seems to be getting reported like routine stories..
Because of the sheer number of such cases being reported, people have sort of got used to hearing these sort of horror shockers..

Is death penalty enough punishment for the devils who commit these sort of crimes ??

If yes, hope our judicial system can give them that, so that atleast the fear of punishment, hopefully, act as a deterrent...hmmmm

India China should forget past !!

China and India should get over the "unfortunate incidents" of the past relating to their festering border issue and open a new page in relations as soon as possible, Li Junru, a top Chinese expert is quoted as saying..

Well, as long as China continues to show Arunachal Pradesh as part of its territory and claims Sikkim, J&K as disputed territory, India China relationships will never be good.

China also continues to arm pakistan..

China is still holding huge areas of Indian territory they captured during the 1962 war..

China continues to suppress the Tibetan people..

Leave alone friendship, India should be very careful with China, never know when they will stab us from behind..

Never trust China!

Thackeray terror haunting Mumbai even after his death

As the controversy over late Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray's memorial rages on, a large number of Shiv Sainiks are guarding the place at Mumbai's Shivaji Park where the leader was cremated. Shiv Sainiks have also put up barricades at the cremation ground and declared that Bal Thackeray's memorial should be built there.

Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut called the memorial an emotional issue and also warned the Maharashtra government. Shiv Sena activists threatened that building a Thackeray memorial was a matter of faith and they would neither listen to the state government nor obey any court orders.

Several Shiv Sena activist and leaders have been paying homage at the cremation site where a temporary structure has already been put up. Party leaders have made it clear that they would not allow the structure to be moved away from the spot, indicating that the Shiv Sena is standing firm on it.

Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut called the memorial an emotional issue and also warned the Maharashtra government.

The state government has assured the Shiv Sena that the issue will be resolved through negotiations. On the other hand, the Maharashtra government is walking a tightrope in the face of Shiv Sena'a stand. The Maharashtra government is trying to solve the controversy through discussion. But sources say that even Maharashtra Home Minister RR Patil knows that finding a solution to the issue is not so easy.

The question is will Shiv Sena take a step backward? Will the party agree to construct Thackeray's memorial at some other place? If it does not agree then what will the Maharashtra government do?

While the Shiv Sena has been adamant on constructing a Thackeray memorial at Shivaji Park, the government is equally determined to not let the party have its way. --Reports CCN IBN.

Bal Thackeray, when he was alive was a very divisive figure.He and his party's stand on our fellow Indians from other states is well known.

After his death, his party wants to gain maximum political mileage from his death.What else explains this 'Memorial Politics', which started the day he was laid to rest !!

They are even saying they won't obey court orders !!
Say, if the Supreme Court says that the memorial should not be at Shivaji Park, will these people go and attack Supreme Court ??

Are these thugs above the law of the Country ??

A memorial for some body is normally a place of respect, and it's not build by threatening and extortion..
When will this lunatic fringe called 'the shiv sena' understand this ??

People should respect because they have RESPECT and LOVE..
Not because of FEAR of violence..

Wishing Tendulkar all the best

Wishing Sachin Tendulkar all the very best in the remaining 2 test matches against England..

Hope and pray that he can make significant contributions and the team as a whole performs well and India wins..

Not seen an India loss as embarrassing as what we saw  in the last test, especially playing in India on a spinning track..

So hope the team rectifies the mistakes and plays well and erase the bad memories..

Kejriwal on our strange double-standards

Arvind Kejriwal is quoted as saying that jawans and farmers should be given priority and said the family of a jawan should be given at least Rs 1 or 2 crore if he dies fighting for the nation.

"If a person scores century in cricket, he is given Rs 1 crore or 2 crore. I am not saying they should not be given, but Army jawans should also be given money," he said.

Kejriwal is absolutely right here..

It's time we recognize our real heroes and show more concern and care for the families of our beloved soldiers..

I think the National media should highlight such statements of Kejriwal more instead of concentrating on trivial things about him..

Indian Cricket Team performance - Questions..

When is the last time you saw Dhoni scoring a 50 in a test match ??

When is the last time you saw English spinners bowling better than Indian spinners ??

When is the last time you saw English batsmen batting much better than Indian batsmen in India on spinning tracks ??

When is the last time you saw Sachin Tendulkar batting like a tail-ender, especially when batting against a spinner ??

When is the last time you saw India winning the toss on a spinning track and were almost on the verge of loosing by an innings ??  (Note : Match ongoing.Innings defeat averted)..

When is the last time you saw an Indian captain, even after getting a win in the 1st test, demanded a spinning track for the next test and lost the match ??

Perform or Retire Tendulkar

I am a great fan of Sachin Tendulkar.And I will always be..

But watching him play these days - is very painful..

He is a shadow of the Great Batsman he was.His batting, for the last many series, more or less resembles a tail-ender's batting.

In the current test series between India and England, Tendulkar had absolutely no clue on how to play English Spinner Monty Panesar..

The way he batted, I don't think even he thought he could survive even one over of Panesar !!!

His batting has been extremely poor for the last many months - be it in ODI's, tests or when batting for Mumbai Indians..

The concern is that - He does not seem concerned..
Many times repeating the same mistakes..
A general lack of focus on the game..
I am an outsider, I may be wrong in saying these things..
But as an Indian Cricket Team supporter and a great fan of Sachin , I do feel some change in Sachin's attitude, which is not a positive one.. 

I doubt whether he is giving any thought as to how much damage his batting in the last few tests is doing to his reputation..

People say age has caught-up with him..

What I think is happening is that he seems to have lost focus..
Him accepting an offer to be a Rajya Sabha member when he is still an active player was AMAZING to say the least.He should have waited till his retirement before accepting such an offer..

He is picking and choosing ODI matches he want to play..
Some where down the line probably a little bit of arrogance or carelessness has crept into his mind, unconsciously, which is having an adverse impact on his performance..

By picking and choosing games and not being fully focused on Cricket, he is unintentionally showing disrespect to the game of cricket..
Sorry to say this..

It's now time for him to rethink..

Either refocus and apply fully and play with as much dedication as he has shown all these years or gracefully retire and give way to some youngsters..

Sorry Sachin..

Never thought I will write some thing like this..
I just watched you getting out to Panesar in the 2nd test between India and England (which is ongoing while I type this)..

Probably I am writing this more out of frustration seeing you batting the way you are these days.It's very painful watching you bat these days, SACHIN..

You are one of the greatest sportsmen India has ever produced.To see you struggle like mere mortals is distressing.

Hope you will be back in form the next test.. Else.. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Things to  note :

1.Dress..
2.An open mouth.Not sure many Indians have seen our PM opening his mouth..

pak terrorist hanged finally

Deaths are normally not meant to be celebrated or hailed..

But the hanging today of ajmal amir kasab, the lone Mumbai terrorist captured, has made the people of India happy..

166 people - innocent civilians and security personnel - were killed in that attack on Mumbai 4 years ago..

May be the more apt word is relieved..

Relieved that justice is finally done.Atleast partially.Ofcourse, the main masterminds of that attack are still roaming around freely in pakistan..

kasab was in jail for 4 years and our Country was spending huge amount of money for his security..
Any way, it's apt that he was given a chance to go through our judicial process..

Only sour point was - some of the celebrations were a bit extreme.You don't need to fire crackers and celebrate a death, even if it's of your enemy.We have punished him for his heinous crime.And the chapter as far as kasab is closed.That should have been it.

Any way, it's understandable, why people reacted the way they did..
Finally, we were able to punish a terrorist !!

We should do some introspection and ensure that we are more adequately prepared to prevent situations like what we faced in Mumbai..
Never trust pakistan..We, Indians should always remember this..That's the first thing..

This is not the time to score political brownie points.Hopefully political parties would refrain from doing so..
This is also a time to remember those brave Indians who laid down their lives fighting that fateful day..

arresting girls for facebook posts !!

Arresting young girls for innocent facebook posts....

This would not have happened any where in the world, even under the worst dictators..

India, the largest democracy in the world, has earned this unique distinction by arresting two girls for facebook posts..

The post was some thing like - Mumbai should not be shutdown, people like Bal Thackrey die every day..

Is this some thing that demands arrest of 2 girls????

Shameful...

Maharastra government & Mumbai police should explain this high-handedness.

Shiv Sena, whose party supremo was Bal Thackrey, instead of mourning his death, demanded the arrest and is justifying the arrest.

Shiv Sena was by the goons, for the goons and even in grief believes in goon-daism..

musharraf in India again

musharraf in India..hmm..

he says he did not regret the flopped Kargil treacherous  attack by pak, which was planned, master-minded and implemented by him, when he was at the helm of pak army.

We need to remember that Kargil intrusion happened when India pak peace talks were going on..

he also says Kashmir is a disputed territory and hence the cause of terrorism.!

he said these on Indian soil..!!!

he also gives lectures on how to achieve peace..Yes, on how to achieve PEACE.!

Really funny, coming from the mouth of a person who back-stabbed India when India pak peace talks were going on.

In my opinion, the co-ordinators of Hindustan Times Leadership summit should be charged with sedition for inviting to India, a man who betrayed, cheated, attacked our Motherland.

Even though we succeded in defeating his evil designs, we had to sacrifice many of our Great Soldiers.

Irony is, this creature, who ruled pak for about 8 years, cannot enter his country and is living in exile in London and Dubai, but he is welcomed in India, as a guest speaker in a so-called leadership summit..

What sort of a leader is he, when he can't even enter his own country!!
Defies logic...

Hindustan Times management might be great admirers of his leadership.

Indian govt also should answer why they allowed this creature to put his ugly foot on our soil again..

Hindustan Times and the Governmet of India should enlighten us as to for what purpose they invitied this fugitive to India - only to hear him dish out anti-India statements ???

Every body else knows from earlier experiences that whenever this fellow came to India, he looked to score points and be in the good books of pak terror leadership by mouthing anti-India statements..

There is a limit to the insults showered on our Kargil martyrs..
Remember HT and Indian Govt...

Gadkari to lead anti-corruption protests

BJP will march to the PM's house under the leadership of Nitin Gadkari to protest against "rampant corruption" by United Progressive Alliance government and Congress.

A very good plan.A plan at the right time at the right place led by the right person..

The most eligible person, right now, in BJP, to lead a protest march against 'RAMPANT CORRUPTION' is one and only Mr.Nitin Gadkari, the dashing Purthi Group fame - BJP president..

When he leads the protest, hope Mr.'CleanChit Flip-flop Gurumurthy', will be walking with him side-by-side.


Experience matters in these sort of activities.Mr.Gadkari has vast personal experience in corrupt practices.

He can educate people about the loopholes he used..

It's very sad that BJP's Karnataka Gadkari, Mr.Yedyurappa is going to leave BJP and create a new party.
BJP will surely loose out on his experience in making money from corrupt under-dealings, down south..

It seems EX-BJP president Mr.Bangaru Laxman is out on jail.Hope party uses his talent and experience and requests him to lead a protest march to Mrs.Sonia Gandhi's residence..

That will be a nice gesture also - by the BJP..

Cheteshwar Pujara - Congrats..

Congrats to Cheteshwar Pujara for scoring a double ton today against England.His 2nd 100.

If he plays the same way in away tests as well, then India could well have found the replacement for Rahul Dravid.But it's a big shoes to fill-in.

Pujara has started well.All the best to him.

Congrats to cancer-comeback Yuvraj as well for scoring 74 runs.Hope he can fill the void created by Laxman's retirement..

Sachin Tendulkar failing once again is a concern.Hope he gets back to run scoring form..

Hope India wins this test..
Ultimately that is what matters..

Congress Party preparations for 2014

News...

"
Congress Party has started preparing for the Lok Sabha elections, kick-starting even the process of picking the candidates, senior leader Digvijay Singh said on Sunday.

"

Well, I suppose the people of India are also eagerly waiting for 2014 elections :)

They are not eagerly waiting to know who will be the candidates !!

Last time, Congress Party contested saying - 'congress ka hath aam admi ke sath'..ie., congress' hand is for common man.

Only problem was that after the last elections - till now - congress used it's HAND to hit aam admi on his face..

 

Insulting Swami Vivekanada

Feels sad for BJP..

They have a party president who has an IQ which makes him to say that The Great Swami Vivekananda's IQ and terrorist dawood ibrahim's IQ level is same.

What is the instrument the BJP president Mr.Nitin Gadkari used to measure the IQ of Swami Vivekananda, hope he reveals.

It will be interesting to see what that instrument says about the IQ level of Mr.S Gurumurthy and the RSS top leadership, which thought of fooling the people by giving a clean chit to Mr.Gadkari, when the existing evidences in the public domain suggests otherwise.!!

RSS, which prides itself as the self appointed guardian of Indian culture has not said a word about the unbelievable insult of one of our Greatest National Icons - Swami Vivekananda...

For Mr.Gadkari's utterances and corrupt dealings, RSS is equally responsible, because it's the RSS which forcefully appointed Gadkari as the BJP president..

RSS has shamefully reduced itself to being a front organization that covers up an individual's corrupt methods..

VERY SHAMEFUL INDEED..

competitive anti-corruption-ism

Anna Hazare formed a new anti-corruption group today..

Hoping to see competitive anti-corruption-ism in the days ahead between anti-c team led by Anna and the one led by  Arvind Kejriwal..!!

This time it seems Anna's team is not only focused on Lokpal bill, but also on all issues in India..!

Hope the real issue of widespread corruption does not get pushed back into the background by these two groups' urge to score brownie points..

Hope anti-corruption will not get reduced to a joke..It has become a movement for the camera already..

Jethmalani insult for India

BJP's Rajya Sabha MP Ram Jethmalani - the always angry arrogant 'man(?)' - says 'Ram was a bad husband'..

Hold on, he is not talking about himself, if that was the case, who cares !
But here he is talking about Lord Rama.

Since he does not like Ram, let's take out Ram from his name and call him Ravana Jethmalani or BADmalani or flip-flopMalani.

This Ravana, after living in this world for these many years, suddenly found that Lord Rama was bad.
He had a sudden flash inside his head.May be US Cyclone Sandy had a direct impact on his head and he needs a shock treatment.

Or his mind was till now in a Kumbakarna Seva !

He is part of a party which owes its very existence on promising to build a temple for Lord Rama.

Fail to understand, why he is still in the BJP; why they have not kicked him out, yet.

He himself won't quit the party - as he is a peculiar creature.

The fact that this fellow is still allowed to hold on in BJP shows the double-standards and BJP's own attitude towards Lord Rama.

This fellow might be a famous advocate, but he does not have any understanding of our epic Ramayana.

Any body who has any sense of the life of Lord Rama, won't say any thing as bad as this advocate Ravana has said.

Hope some BJP sadhus explain to this fellow, about Lord Rama, possibly after a shock treatment.

This man is soooooo arrogant - that no one should expect an apology from him for hurting the religious sentiments of Hindus.

He is an insult to India and Indian culture.Any body who had the misfortune of watching any of his interviews, would have understood, how bad he is.
He scolds the interviewer, he threatens - not seen any body who is more arrogant; but soooo ignorant about his own Country's culture..

He does not even know how to behave with others.So much head weight and arrogance.I want to stress the word ARROGANCE..

One fails to understand what he thinks of himself.He opens his mouth mostly to talk non-sense, utter rubbish.

His place is in the dustbin.

What ever this creature says Lord Rama and Sita Devi will always be revered in India.

Another Rahul-ism !

Rahul Gandhi again - Congress Party's future PM candidate !!

He attacked BJP today for not supporting FDI.He says Congress had supported the BJP lead government during the Kargil war !!

hoo..was that a favour done to BJP by the Congress?? Was Kargil an attack by pakistan on BJP ??

And how on earth some one can compare FDI to Kargil intrusion !!

Hope some one from the Congress party tells Rahul that Kargil war happened because pakistan attacked India.The whole Country was behind the Indian government at that time in our fight to push out the pakistani forces from our land.

Hope our future PM candidate reads newspapers and understands facts before saying things like these..
Or let's hope he takes  a hard look at his speech writer !

God save INDIA...

Retired Army Chief may gherao Parliament

Times of India reports :

Many within military circles are animatedly discussing the increasing political activism of former Army chief General V K Singh. Discussions over the controversial former chief further intensified on Friday when he announced that he may join a gherao of Parliament announced by cane growers.

To many serving and retired officers, Gen Singh's ambivalence over those accused of corruption has come as a shocker. "Yesterday, he was sharing the dais with Om Prakash Chautala, who is accused of accumulating crores of rupees worth of illegal wealth, he is under CBI investigation. Gen Singh's moral circle doesn't go beyond his personal political ambition," a serving colonel said. He added that it was "embarrassing" to see the former Army chief "stage hopping" on a daily basis "without any ideological moorings".

Many in military circles believe that Gen Singh could be positioning himself for the 2014 elections. "He seems to be testing out various forums," a senior serving officer, who has known Gen Singh for years, said.
Gen Singh's Friday outing for cane growers came a day after he shared the stage with opposition leaders including Chautala in Haryana. Gen Singh appeared along with leaders of Rashtriya Kisan Mazdoor Sangathan and demanded rejection of the Rangarajan committee report on freeing the sugar sector.

The committee has recommended doing away with State Advisory Price and which will adversely affect the farmers of northern states, he said. Along with RKMS convenor V M Singh, Gen Singh released a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh demanding rejection of the Rangarajan committee report.

Asked whether he supported the call for a gherao of Parliament in December, the former Army chief said, "I am endorsing a call which is in the interest of farmers." When asked if he would join the gherao, Gen Singh said, "We will cross the bridge when we reach there... Whether that situation will come or not, we will see."

However, even the fact that Gen Singh was endorsing such a mode of protest has not gone down well with many in military circles. Maj Gen (retd) Afsir Karim told a TV channel that it was "a surprising statement for a just retired chief" to make.

Lt Gen (retd) Shankar Prasad said Gen Singh's announcement meant "breaking the law", and for a former Army chief -- sworn to protect the Constitution -- to endorse such a method was baffling. "I really wonder if such a statement is befitting for a man of his wisdom," he said.

A serving general said Gen Singh always had shifting stances on most issues. "He went back on his commitment not to rake up his age issue once he became chief. He wouldn't think twice before going to Supreme Court to challenge the government over the age issue. He wouldn't now mind sitting alongside corrupt politicians," the officer said.

As reported, it's indeed surprising that a recently retired Army Chief is planning to gherao our Parliament.The fact that he is seen sharing the dais with corrupt politicians when he is part of the so-called anti-corruption crusade, is strange to say the least.

He seems to be driven only by his own personal ambitions rather than any urge to serve the Nation.

The sort of statements he is making these days like - asking for the immediate dissolution of Parliament etc., does indicate a certain contempt for our Parliament, and his current activities does not seem to fit-in with his status as a just retired Indian Army Chief.

Army and Army officers - both serving and retired - are viewed with a lot of respect - but Mr.VK Singh is now involved only in tarnishing whatever he has gained by his service to the Nation when he was in Army.. 

It's such a pity - especially him sharing the stage with corrupt politicians, when on the other hand he claims himself to be an anti-corruption warrior !!

Abhishek Manu CD Singhvi Backk

It seems the Congress Party has brought Abhishek Manu Singhvi as it's spokesperson.

He was removed earlier after a controversial CD showing him in a compromising position came into public view.

Question to congress is, has this man been cleared of the dirt ??

It will look funny, when this guy addressees the media in all seriousness - but all those who hear him speak will be laughing..

So much for the Congress party's morality !!

They have become sooo arrogant that they don't care public opinion..
