The jokers of Indian politics....Amar Singh and co. are back. They did a good job by supporting Congress during the nuclear deal trust vote, but I guess thats all they have ever done.
How can a party insist on fielding a person who is convicted of a serious crime? Sanjay Dut...? I am not against Sanjay Dutt...but the party knows that the guy is convicted and is even sentenced to prison. Why do they need the Supreme court to tell them that convicted people cannot contest! And more over...as soon as SC stopped Dutt from contesting...these guys make him the party General Secretary. Just shows the respect they have for the law, for the constitution and the SC. Here is a candidate who is forbidden to participate in the election process, and you make him the face of your party, for some cheap publicity. God help U.P.!
Thats not all. I saw their manifesto today, which was in the headlines. So, the SP wants to minimize the use of computers, do away with mechanical farming and work towards reducing the number of english educational institutions. What can one say about the future of the nation if such people are a major part of shaping it. Abu Azmi's wealth (declared) was 224 crores...no wonder he can afford to support this crap. I think they look upto Sudan or Cuba...thats where they want us to be in 20 years. As the Mumbai Mirror pointed out, all of the major leaders' children study in convents and premier schools in Bombay and elsewhere. When asked about why their children don't study in Hindi or Urdu medium schools...they say India is not limited to Bombay...easy esacpe huh! I remember when Shiv Sena and more lately the MNS play the 'mee marathi' card everyday, I had once written to the newspaper advising Raj and Uddhav to withdraw their children from American School and St.Xavier's college respectively and put them in the BMC run Marathi medium schools. Will they do it? My suggestion is ridiculous...
Na Akal Dal....the Akali dal...another bunch of fanatics. The guy (Sikh journalist in Delhi) throws a boot at the Home Minister of India and these folks offer him two lakh rupees as a reward. They even promise him a poll ticket. Looks like everyone who either throws shoes or stores AK 47s gets a party ticket. There were Sikhs in Mulund (Bombay) celebrating the guy's actions. Fantastic..the only 'akalmand' community in India has now become 'Na Akal'....great going. It was PC's gentlemanliness that he didn't even have the scribe arrested. The guy realized his mistake and apologized and even his family were apologetic...may be these people should try doing this to Prince Nayef bin Abdul-Aziz, the interior minister of Saudi Arabia! They whole community would be beheaded. Is Saudi Arabia a little far fetched? Okay...try doing it to the Chinese counterparts.
Our country is the epitome of freedom...misused and abused freedom... Churchill said...that if they were to make India independent...it would be ruled by goons...some helpless people like me wonder if we were better off under them!?
More later....
