Indian of the Year

Whose side are they?

Post 2611 reactions from thought leaders, political class, Haindavta Leadership, Muslim Clerics was heartening. Everyone placed nation above the selfish interests, they spoke and acted in one voice. It seemed like a dream come true even if it was at the expense of 200 lives.

However like every dream, this dream has also coming to an end. First wakeup call came from our minority affairs minister Mr. A R Antulay. He borrowed a leaf from Pakistani TV hosts & ISI propaganda that the Mumbai attacks were the handiwork of "Hindu-Zionists"  and absolved LeT terrorists from the murder of Mr. Karkare. He gave enough hints to indicate that he believed "Other forces"(read Hindu Terrorists) were responsible for the heinous act. Nation was stunned but for a while it seemed that A R Antulays utterances were an aberration. In its new found zeal "Secular"  congress party also seemed to be inclined to take irresponsible behavior of Antulay.

But now other sections of the Muslim community — from Shahi Imam of Delhi's Jama Masjid to Urdu press, including Munsif, the largest Urdu newspaper, Siasat, Inquilab and Urdu Times has joined the bandwagon. Ex-IFS officer and MP Syed Shahabuddin called Minister for Minority Affairs A R Antulay to congratulate him for “saying the unspeakable.” SP MP Rashid Masood, JD(U) MP Ejaz Ali and BSP MP Ilyas Azmi supported Antulay's demand for a separate probe into Karkare's death. 

How can India left be Left behind when it comes to appeasing muslim votebank. CPM leader Mohammed Salim pointed out that neither the government nor the Congress party was able to answer the questions raised by Antulay.

Now with so much support among Muslims for the claims of Antulay, how can we even remotely expect congress to take actions against Antualy. I am sure in coming days they will find some excuse to support Antualy.

The nation has woken up to the stark reality that for some group holds  "community" above national interest. It high time people who love this nation and has this nation as last abode understand and realise this. 

Tailpiece:

Question raised by B. Raman:

While the external dimensions have started receiving attention, the internal dimensions are sought to be pushed under the carpet. Anyone, who persists in drawing attention to the internal dimensions is sought to be ridiculed or vilified or projected as an apologist for the jihadis.

Fart Alert

Minority Affairs Minister A R Antulay said,

“This is beyond my comprehension why Karkare didn’t go to Taj, Oberoi or Nariman House where the terrorists were holed up. Why he chose to go to a different place”.

"Superficially speaking they (terrorists) had no reason to kill Karkare. Whether he (Karkare) was a victim of terrorism or terrorism plus something. I do not know,"

The minister suggested that Karkare was killed not by Pakistan based terrorists but by somebody else, hinting at Malegaon probe which the ATS Chief was heading.

It seems age has caught up with Mr. A R Antulay!! Mr. Antulay are you suggestion that the other 180 who were killed had some kind of enmity with those terrorists???? Its outrageous how a Union Minsiter is parroting exactly what Pakistan Propaganda is saying and absolving the same terrorists who his own givernment is working had to bring to Justice!!!

With such minister we donot need many Saeed's

Is this acceptable in a secular state?

He had erected hundreds of huge hoardings all over the twin cities of Hyderabad-Secunderabad welcoming people to his 'Grand Christmas celebrations'.

He told the congregation that he had experienced many miraculous changes in his own life after he adopted Christianity. He exhorted the people, stressing that God will take care of everything  and everybody if people have faith in Him. he said.

"All you have to do is believe in Him,""No doctor has a treatment for AIDS but there is a supernatural doctor who can do it,"

In normal circumstances would have ignored him as one of those looneys.... But this is none other that Son in Law of Andhra Chief Minsiter YSR Reddy.

So much for secularism!!!!!

Bush gets 'farewell boot' in Iraq

                                                    

                         

Bush booted out - Literally

It gives fresh meaning to the phrase shooed away. President George W Bush ducked a pair of shoes hurled at his head -- one shoe after the other -- in the middle of a news conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.  Both shoes narrowly missed their target.

The assailant -- later identified as television correspondent Muntadar al-Zeidi - leapt from his chair and hurled his footwear at the president, who was about 20 feet away and yelled in Arabic.

"This is a farewell kiss, you dog,"

Bush later bravely said - 

"So what if the guy threw a shoe at me?" "If you want the facts, it was a size 10,"

Boycott American MNC's: CPM

Rahul, in his speech in the Lok Sabha,

There is too much focus on the security of VIPs. Our institutions are designed and operate in hierarchical ways,

I am not sure who wrote the script for Rahul Gandhi. Atleast they should have told him that it was congress government who agreed to give Amar Singh Z Category security in lui of SP supporting the congress government

Even in crisis "Party Ideology" is supreme for CPM

Today in parliament, It was heartening to see Ruling and opposition rising above party politics. However, the only exception of CPM.  Even this hour of crisis, they decided to play for their ideology.

CPM sought to link signing of the Indo-US nuclear deal with the Mumbai terror strikes, alleging that the country has  been exposed to "new dangers" with the signing of the pact. CPM leader Sitaram Yechury asked:

"What brought the terrorist outfits to our shores? With the Indo-US nuclear deal you are seen as an ally of the US, a strategic partner. There seems to be a total lack of appreciation of this thought from the government's side,"

Mr. Yechury then how about all the attacks before the signing of deal? I guess it might be in anticipation of the deal

Rajasthan electorate waiting for name of the new CM

                                                              

The struggle for the chief minister’s chair in Rajasthan between the supporters and opponents of senior Congress leader and front runner for the post, Ashok Gehlot, reached its peak on Wednesday.

The hectic activity ahead of the crucial meeting of the newly elected Congress MLAs to choose their leader in Jaipur on Thursday exposed the divisions within the party barely two days after the surprise victory.

Heaven smiles on us

The planets Jupiter and Venus will joined the moon to put on a celestial show. The big astral event resembled a “smiley face in the Southern Hemisphere, where in the Northern Hemisphere, it looked more like a “frown.”

With Congress things never change.

The CBI's attempt to safeguard its image as a professional and regime-neutral agency suffered a body blow as it conceded before the supreme Court that its latest move to give a reprieve to Mulayam Singh Yadav, the SP chief and a key ally of the ruling UPA coalition, was primarily because of a direction from the Centre.

I guess it was payback time for the support congress is getting from SP. When will it be payback time for the voters who elected Congress and SP in first place?

NDTV - How was your TRP in Pakistan during 2611

NDTV claims to be the only news channel to broadcast to Pakistan and since they have claimed victory on 2611 TRP wars in India. It would be interesting to know what was TRP rating for NDTV is Pakistan?

Find the odd man out

This should be read in continuation of  Ms Barkha's defence of their 26/11 coverage.  In her article she wrote

In the past week, we have also received countless words of support and encouragement- from thousands of people - Indian citizens of every hue and ilk across the country, as well as some better known ones, like Narayan Murthy, Salman Rushdie, Shashi Tharoor, Sunil Khilnani and Suketu Mehta, to name just a few.

So my fist reaction was wow... if Mr. Murthy says so it might be true.. Then some one gave me this link to Moneycontrol. And surprise surprise... Guess what I found... Mr. Murthy is Non.Exe.Independent Director of NDTV. 

Now it would be too much to ask Mr. Murthy to criticise a organisation of which he is Director!

NDTV declares victory after 26/11 TRP wars

NDTV has today proudly claimed victory after 26/11 TRP Wars.

NDTV Website claims

When it matters, NDTV 24X7 is the most viewed channel

For the target C&S 15+ in the one million plus markets, NDTV 24x7 was the most viewed channel in the Mumbai terror attacks week, followed by Times Now. CNN-IBN was the third watched.

Never mind, even if the victory was build on the foundation of grief of countless relatives with microphone thrust in their face or the death of NSG Havaldar Gajender Singh.

If NDTV has even an iota of respect for the grief and anger of this nation they should immediately withdraw this
