Teflon Singh?

Good one on corruption. Let the scam tainted Yeddyurappa step down. But let the person leading this be Sonia herself. The Bofors case was shamelessly closed. Since she herself is tainted, she needs to lead and step down from all posts and positions. Besides, this family needs to declare their true assets. Enough of fooling around with people.

After looking at Rahul’s statement and his firm support to Islamic terror, I think 26/11 was joint operation of Congress-LeT-ISI.

Dear Shri Vinod Sharma,

You have correctly said about the PM’s offer of facing the PAC not cutting much ice with the opposition. In fact, it doesn’t cut any ice with the congress too. Please see the Indian Express web photo of Motilal Vohra and Ashok Gehlot sleeping (with heads put together), even while Singh was chest-thumping to Sonia’s 5point formula. So much for the brain storming! This must really be some brains and some storming!

But, Singh has really lost it this time. People were willing to forgive him all his weakness before the empress, his shameful deference to the prince etc. keeping in view that he is a nice human being and a man of integrity. But during the UPA II regime, he has lost all the goodwill of the people. This is really BOFORS II, only a million times bigger.

You may remember this incident: During the broadcast of a children’s programme on Patna AIR station, the children sang in chorus, “gali gali mein shor hai, Rajiv Gandhi chor Hai”. This was when he was still the PM! Later the station Director was suspended. It was all about perception. People really thought that Rajiv was guilty of corruption. Now we have TV channels which for the last few weeks have informed the whole world that UPA II has been formed under the “guidance” of Niira Radia and her editor-friends. The impressions of the tele-scam too are strong and permanent. The stink is unlikely to be washed away by holding brain storming sessions and adopting wishy-washy resolutions and 5point formulae.

About Manmohan Singh’s “assurance” to the party and its boss(es) that he will implement the programme in a “time bound” manner, please remember he had several time bound 100 days’ programmes, none of which even took off the ground. He had promised 100 day action programme for implementing Sachar committee report to help the Muslim community. Today, Muslims are worse off than before Sachar got down to write his “recommendations”. If this too is one of those 100day action plans (and it promises to be one such), this will be a non-starter.

I only wish, Sharmaji, you had kept your head level and not fallen a prey to all the “sound and fury signifying nothing”.

[Reply]

Only a criminal thug, engaged in wilful deceit, paid by ISI, would compare the mountain of terrorist strikes by Pakistan based terrorists to few by extrimist elements on the right or dare compare a mainstream nationalist party with Lashker-e-Toiba.

The Congress of Gandhi and Nehru is now reduced to a corrupt , anti-national cabal.

The Sonia-Rahul combo is genuinely anti-majority and because of their catholic minority faith harbour apprehensions about the majority community, ignoring the fact that only in liberal, open and tolerant Hindu majority state , that has embraced them, irrespective of their religion.

[Reply]

Sharmaji,
The 2G scam debate in our public discourse is truly sickening from my perspective.
Let us remind ourselves the amount of corruption CAG has pegged this scam at – it is 1.76 Lakhs Crores.
To put things in a *minor perspective* – our union budgetary allocation for Public Healthcare for the year 2009-2010 was Rs. 21680 Cr. – roughly about the 1/8th of the amount of corruption amount of scam.
Eventually, if and when , the budgetary re-balancing (triggered by diktats to balance out the deficits) happens the public schemes will be the first ones to go. Sounds kinda un-fair. More so when those affected by the scam hit economy would see their benefits being withdrawn , and ironically enough in a way much beyond the grasp of their situation.
We can go on and on about Soniyaji, Dr. Singh , Opposition, Media and others. But , that – IMHO – is just plainspeak boiling down to level of “He Said, She Said”. Rather farcical, one would say.

The scam at Centre has no match with Karnataka and there is huge difference in the amounts involved. Yeddy is not indicted by any panel or lokayukta. A person should not be dismissed without proper investigation. Yeddy has ordered a probe and voluntarily made his family member to surrender all the land allotments to them for business. Moreover, Yeddy brand is stronger that BJP brand. BJP higher command did not take time to ask him step down but had to bow under pressure once local MLAs/MPs insisted that Yeddy is not wrong. Thereafter, BJP decided to wait for probe outcome to act. Moreover, thin majority mandate has forced BJP to hung on to avoid Congress and JDS to come in power. It is equally important to keep more corrupt Congress and JDS to keep away from ruling the state.

DMK should also be asked to replace Karunanidhi as he had direct involvement in 2G scam as he had demanded particular minister and A Raja appointment as minister. His family has sprawling businesses in Tamil Nadu. Why is he being not raided ? Just because Congress Govt. will fall at Centre ?

Similarly, Sharad Pawar influence is increasing in BCCI and Maharastra Sugar Mills. He should be dismissed as Agriculture Minister. Any MP should not be made minister with large stakes involving him home state. The simple principles are not being maintained in appointing ministers.

The irresponsible approach of the PM has made him a dubious personality and he is still looking at Sonia Gandhi to dictate what corrective action is to be taken. Karunanidhi and Gandhi families should also be raided but MMS does not have the courage to do so. So, he has become a helpless figure at the moment.

It is hard to say if Sharmaji is speaking his mind , or has been asked to “Dress it Up” by some one.,- ref. M/s Vir and bdutts. As far PAC goes every one know TOR are limted PM will only answer to CAG report, Where as JPC has a wider TOR , it can summon anyone, including journos, and people form the “house hold”.

If PM has nothing to hide then why object to JPC unless it is to protect ” her /him”. Clearly a scam of such a magnitiude will not be confined to rajas, and radias alone. Now there are many “players” including CBI salvaging the operation. We are hearing only 40 % of the truth.

Also folks, remember ever since independence no bureaucrat/politician/industralist /judge/journo gets punished in this country.

Finally a meek, PM. – I pity him he has to stand by till goodies are there for rahul to grab.

Sirjee
We should not grudge the rejoicing of the Burari Session by the self styled dynasty and the party it runs , if it wishes to. But some party spoilers do stick out.

A 5 pt programme to fight corruption in the country was announced. But the Bihar delegation of the party was seen screaming that Mukul Wasnik and Hariprasad had put all tickets on sale.

Controlling of prices was announced but price of Onions shhoting to Rs 80 per kg became the screaming headline.

The Teflon PM was humiliated by his own Home Minister when he made a plea to the President of the party to review the functioning of the government as a Super PM. Does it not lend credence to what we all say that PM is a mere rubber stamp.

Now the single most important highlight was the adoption of the Digvijay Singh line by the party as a whole.” The Opposition unity will crack once terrorist cases involving RSS activists are fast-tracked and convictions secured, averred a government source”

Now how can that “Government Source” be so sure of fast tracking the cases . Under which law? And how can be so sure of the outcome.? And I am not going into its impact on the floating non Muslim or the Hindu vote. Also so far the Left has not gone for this bait.
Of course Sirjee is a better judge of politics.

But I wonder for which political event is the Congress doing all this . In WB it is a bit player and Didi is not going to give any significant space. In Kerala we do not know what is going to happen.

It it worth all this just for Kerala.?

Moreover eben if he is honest he clearly is not ethical and moral person who knowing all this has brought himself and his political master ahead of the country

@ Vinod;
Let me start this mail with thumbs up for you and Indian papers in general, with a caveat, more about that later. The provocation for this bravo, is, to my reaction, for not getting my mail published in DAWN, the so called, most liberal News paper of Pakistan, where my comment to Nadeem Paracha’s blog about a survey, was moderated and ultimately not published for praising his blog and hoping that” may be this will create a dent on sickness, afflicting our two nations”.This simple sentence could not be published, as Pakistanis are afraid to admit, that there is definitely a sickness prevailing in our two societies. In case of Pakistan- Fundamentalism/Terrorism and in India, it is monetary corruption.
In your blog, any thing can be published, that is freedom,it is up to individuals to take or reject. So, kudos to you in particular and Indian News Channels in general.
Having said this, I still do not agree with your reading of situation. All these brave words at Burari are superfluous. When these mammoth Scams were taking place, how come government was not aware/reacting to them?Is GOI, intelligence system so poor?? So,it seems, that all this drama is to control the situation when shit has hit the fan. Nothing is genuine about it. Digvijay and party is desperate, as he has lost his moorings and now a floatsome, desperately trying to catch on straws to establish his relevance.
Your tone is better here,looks like you are gaining some self esteem yourself.

The crux of the matter is that in spite of various affirmations against corruption by the congress leaders time and again nothing has practically happened . RIGHT FROM THE MUNDHRA SCAM IN 1950 TO BOFORS TO CWG TO 2G –THERE HAVE BEEN A PLETHORA OF SCAMS —WHAT HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THEM ? aT THE MOST RESIGNATION OF THE LEADER CONCERNED —BUT FOR A PERSON WHO HAS SAFELY STACKED AWAY MILLIONS , THIS” GENTLEMANLY “PUNISHMENT —OR RATHER UPBRAIDING —IS NO DETERRENT . THE CONGRESS HAS BEEN IN POWER IN THIS COUNTRY FOR A DECADE —IT HAS SET THE POLITICAL AND MORAL TENOR IN THE COUNTRY —AND WHAT WE SEE IS THE OUTCOME OF THIS CULTURE .
WE ALL KNOW THAT INFORMATION WILL BE SUPPRESSED , FILES LOST —THERE IS TALK OF MISSING FILES IN ADARSH SCAM AND EVEN CWG WITNESSES / OFFICIALS BEING ATTEMPTED TO BE BUMPED OFFA S PER TODAYS REPORT —CONGRESS, PRESENT TAKE ON CORRUPTION IS JUST A EYE WASH, GIMMICK TO FOOL THE PEOPLE WHICH IT HAS BEEN ADEPT AT ALWAYS .
IF THE CONGRESS IS SERIOUS WHY NOT DEBAR EVEN A SLIGHTLY TAINTED . SO CALLED LEADER NOT TO HOLD OFFICE OR POSITION IN THE GOVT OR PARTY TILL HIS NAME IS CLEARED RATHER THAN PUSH HIM SOME OTHER WAY IN OTHER PLACE. –WHICH HAPPENS .
LET US FACE IT THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN POWER MANIPULATE THE SYSTEM TO SHIELD THEMSELVES —OUR LAW IS FULL OF LOOP HOLES AND THEY KNOW HOW TO EXPLOIT IT
THE CONGRESS LEADERS –RAJIV / SONIA INCLIUDED —WERE DEFINETLY INVOLVED IN THE BOFORS SCAM , WHAT HAPPENED —MONEY RECOVERED , ANY ONE INDICTED ——? TILL LEADERS IN PRACTICE ARE REALLY LIKE CEASERS WIFE –TAINT FREE –THERE CAN BE NO LET UP IN THIS CORRUPTION.—WHAT THE PM , OR SONIA HAS SAID HAS NO RELEVANCE ON GROUND FOR WE HAVE SEEN CONGRESS GOING FROM SCAM TO SCAM IN 50 YEARS .
WHAT IS REPREHENSIBLE NOW IS THE UTTER BRAZENESS , AUDACITY , AND OPENESS OF THE LOOT WITH IMPUNITY —BUT THEN THE POLITICAL CULTURE HAS BECOME MORE CRASSOVER THE TIME

Dear Shri Vinod Sharma,

There is a kannada proverb, which says, if this happens and that happens and in between so many other things happen and also cotton grows in the field, I will weave a cotton saree for my grandma.
Which, translated in English, means, ‘if wishes were horses, beggars would ride’.

Which is what your whole article is about: so many wishes, all big time wishes, but none likely to happen. I got the distinct feeling that when you wrote this piece, you were donning the hat of a congressman- a committed Sonia camp follower at that- and not the hat of the Political Editor of the Hindustan Tmes. Herebelow, I have summarised the wishes of the congress leadership expressed through you:
1. If the opposition unity were not as strong as it is now,
2. if there is a crack in the unity,
3. if Murali Manohar Joshi could come to Man Mohan Singh’s resque,
4. if the “optics” our friend Vinod Sharma is talking about is really true,
5. if the CBI had an ounce of credibility with the aam aadmi for whom we have done so much,
6. if the UPA partners (for whom too we have done so much) don’t behave like the B team of the opposition,
7. if A quick follow-up on Sonia Gandhi’s six-point action plan to battle corruption could help capture popular imagination, (your exact word, Vinodji!)
8.if “Sonia’s call for time-bound closure of corruption cases” stops people from laughing at us so derisively,
9.if people somehow can be made to believe that Yeddyurappa is equal to Raja in corruption,
AND
10. IF ALL THE ABOVE NINE WISHES WERE A “realistic scenario: (I am again quoting you, Vinodji).

Let us all wish you, Vinodji, that you will have a sound sleep during which you will enjoy the fulfillment of all these 10 wishes.

You will, I wish, have the additional dream fo seeing yourself riding the horse as an honoured congressman.

Its pretty much clear that Congress will pay a price at polls for its inaction against corrupt ministers and indefensible comments of by congressmen .
In India-Pakistan context, its interesting what Indian foreign secretary had to say to US officials in clear terms, as quoted from wikileaks.

In 2009, meanwhile, then-Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon told then-Assistant Secretary of State Richard Boucher: “Let’s not insult one another by telling a story that the Pakistan Army was not involved” in the Mumbai attacks.

The cable quoted Menon as saying that the Pakistani army paid wages to members of Lashkar-e-Taiba, the Pakistan-based Islamist militant group believed to be behind the siege.
—- end of wikileak quote—–

The point is, its not Pakistanis who are the core of the problem. There are all kinds of Pakistanis from the most idiotic and incorrigible vulgar like Azhar to sane and rational ones. However its the degenerate Pak state , which is a full blown criminal entity. Pakistan has gone from bad to worse and has been on a downward spiral for last 60 years. It would be even more criminal and venal in next 10 years, with its army and ISI having a greater stranglehold on the state which has adopted a bigoted and perverted interpretation of a ideology from Saudi Arabia as its national religion.

Its good that India has finally started to disengage from Pakistan. The realization that Pak state is an incorrigibly thug entity will lead to saner policies. The best option for India is total disengagement. Minimize diplomatic relations. Minimize any civil contacts. Just ignore it and concentrate on killing those terrorists that Pak state trains and sends like Kasav and other LeT criminals.
Any engagelemt with a lowly and dishonest entity can only lead to losses. Its only foolish thinking that India can do anything to influence and moderate Pak character or behaviour. Last 60 years should be a lesson.

Should you not catch the looter?

The COngress cannot keep shouting that Dr Manmohan is a saint . He is a saint. let us not talk about the kickbacks in telecom as MMS is a saint!! What a joke !!

[Reply]

Dear Shri Vinod Sharma,

In your last rejoinder, and twice before, you have accused me of resorting to ” thod marod” with a sentence in your essay, and quoting only part of it. It was actually lifting two words (realistic scenario) from the sentence, to give more punch to my own post. However, since you feel strongly about it, I sincerely regret causing such a feeling in you.

However, the more substantive issues I and some of my fellow bloggers have raised (Ex: my post dated 20th Dec) have been left well alone.

As for Indiresh Kumar, let me state here, since you do not know it for a fact, that he is the least likely figure from the Parivar to be involved in or be the mastermind behind, the terror acts against innocent Muslims. Let me also say with a good degree of conviction that the Rashtriya Muslim Manch, which he has formed, with the full backing of the top leadership of the RSS, has done, quietly, a lot of ground work in the area of building bridges between RSS and Muslim leaders.

You may recall, (with distaste, of course) Amit Shah and before him Narendra Modi were similarly “interrogated”. You know what happened to the “interrogation”. Indiresh Kumar’s too will be no different, despite your touching faith in the government source who has assured you of some fast action. “Dil Ko Behlane ke liye, Ghalib, yeh khayal achchha hai”.–Because in these teribly depressing times, only poets like Ghalib can bring some respite.

Rahul as Pm would be dangerous. it may be better– in case this Congress comes back– that Pranab or Chidu bhaio get the PM’s seat. I am presumng that MMS will quit because of Age.

Mahesh,

You may have a soft corner for the congress party and Sonia Gandhi, but the facts of 1984 are quite damning, though they remain well guarded secrets, ably kept so by a pliant and supportive media.

What happened in Delhi on 31st October, 1984 and for two days thereafter is a well executed pogrom against the Sikhs. You and Vinay have referred to what Rajiv Gandhi said after the massacre of 4000 Sikhs, which was utterly insensitive, inhuman and inexcusable. What both of you didn’t say and perhaps do not know was/is what Rajiv Gandhi told his chelas as soon as he alighted from the plane which had brought him to Delhi from Kolkatta-He told them, ” hum unko dekh lenge” (we will take care of them). He didn’t specify “kinko dekh lenge?” Both he and his firing squad knew who had to be taken care of and taught a lesson they would never forget. It is in the light of this remark/order you have to take his later rtemark that ‘when a big tree falls, the earth shakes’.

As for Sonia Gandhi, you must remember that she is the daughter of a fascist soldier of Mussolini and she is very familiar with fascist “saazishein”. Therefore, Rahul is nothing if not a chip of the old block. Beware of his child-like looks and disarming dimples. What he said in private is no different from what he said in public: that RSS and SIMI are one and the same.

How Pak embassy uses VISA services to compel VISA agents to spy for it..
———————————————————————————————————
h ttp://news.outlookindia. com/item.aspx?706359

Two officials of Pakistan High Commission had rejected several visa applications of Javed Mozawala, nailed for spying for the neighbouring country, to force him to conduct recce of vital locations for over two years, a senior police official claimed.

If the visa agent Javed Abdul Gafoor Mozawala would not have agreed to the officials’ demands, he would have lost his only source of income, the official added.

Mozawala, a resident of Mazgaon here, was arrested on December 8 for spying for Pakistan and has been booked under the Official Secrets Act.

“At least for the last four years, Mozawala had been into the visa facilitating job. He had been to Pakistan High Commissioner on several occasions as part of his job,” Joint Police Commissioner (Crime) Himanshu Roy told PTI.

“The two officials wanted him to conduct recce of vital locations in Maharashtra. Initially, Mozawala was reluctant but then the two officials started rejected several visa applications from Mozawala,” the officials added.

Then the two officials asked Mozawala to work for them and spy the vital locations and extract defence related information, Roy added.

“Since visa facilitating work was his only source of income and he did not want to lose this job, Mozawala agreed for it and passed on the information to the two officials,” Roy added.

For over two years, Mozawala conducted recce of several locations including Western Naval Command in Mumbai, a Navy facility in Lonavla (in Pune district), Bandra Worli Sea Link here and Koyna dam in Satara district, police said.

Mozawala also made an unsuccessful attempt to extract defence-related information from a navy official, police said.

Police have claimed to have seized “confidential” military documents from his house in south Mumbai’s Mazgaon area.

Mozawala tried to develop contact with the Navy official, whom he met in a train from Delhi to Mumbai, a year ago.

The accused tried to become “very friendly” with the Navy man, but the official did not respond to him and did not share any information, police said.

A former MLA is a close relative of Mozawala but the politician has distance himself

( Just anathor example of how the criminal entity of Pakistan operates. India should force close the ISI embassy in Delhi and throw the criminals out )

There is anohter news floating on the channels that LeT men are targetting the festivities on New Years Day. They have come as usual, from the impure land of Pakistan, where the youth are trained to believe that if they kill innocents of other religions they will reach jannat with shadat.

I hope Rahul Gandhi does not start giving cowardly statments in their support. Swapan Doshi Digvijay, who is now towing the Mulayam Singh line on wooing Muslims by condoning terrorists will of course praise these terrorists as misguided youth for whom killing innocents is okay and it is better to blame saffron terror.

~~~~~~~ TIME FOR FUN ~~~~~~

HIndustan Times had to drop VIr Sanghi to retain a semblence of credibility.

And now India Today has given a big boot on the bum of servile, oily fixer Prabhu Chawla.

Yesterday’s Headlines Today prominently featured M J Akbar as the editoiral director and Rahul Kanwal the anchor mentioned that they had thrown out Prabhu Chawla. They even featured Barkha Dutt, Vir and Prabhu as villians in the media, even going as far as to say that these editors sounded like waiters taking resturaunt orders from their favourite customer,

The India Today group obviously is not as clean as they tried to sound yesterday. They were caught with their pants down in the AMar Singh tapes as unfortunately OULOOK and OPEN had not got into the act then, In fact they had first tried to defend Prabhu using N Ram. But obviously the conversations with Radia, making fun of India’s judicial system was bad enough to destroy the group’s credibility.

So they are now treating Prabhu as a bird flu virus !

Wonder if NDTV will do something about Barkha….

Vijay Is it true that Headlines Today said all that about Prabhu Chawla.
Wonder when NDTV will do something about Padma Sri Barkha Dutt unless Prannoy Roy is also involved. And when will Govt of India wake up and take notice of the persons who they award on behalf of the country.

@ Praveen,

Absolutely true! Prabhu was their mascot for almost a decade. And now he is the swine flu!

I saw him in a number of times at TGIF connaught place just below the India Today office. Always seemed to exude a false sense of importance….
