Confusion Beyond Imagination

By looking at the heading you should have figured out what I am trying to convey. Take another guess. Well, let me give you another clue. Cleared Before Investigation!! I know this time you would have got it.

For the past few weeks the Congress Bureau of Investigation has been very active in giving a clean chit to those involved in the 1984 Sikh riots and the Bofors case. These are high profile cases for which investigations were going on (or was it supposed to be) for several years. The first case has been going on for 24 years and the second one probably more than that. Are they not ashamed of giving a clean chit to those involved in these cases after 25 years?

MMS also proved to the world that he is a puppet by giving a statement that CBI has neither consulted him nor involved him in the Tytler’s case (http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?newsid=1246855). CBI would have never bothered to consult Manmohan Singh. They seem to be acting on the basis of the instructions from the defacto prime minister.

These incidents clearly bring into light that congress is getting jitters about the results of the 2009 elections. There is a sense of nervousness among the congress top brass that they may not come to power again. Hence they are trying to use the last few days in office to clear off their names from these highly emotional and politically sensitive cases.

As far as congress is concerned, glory days seem to be a thing of the past. About MMS; less said, the better

Strategic move

For those who closely watch the political situation in Sri Lanka and India, the recent victory of the Sri Lankan government should not be surprising. If I have to point out one major event which brought the downfall of LTTE, I would point out the brutal killing of Rajiv Gandhi in 1991. This single event created a bad image about LTTE in the minds of the Indian public.

No one can blame Sonia Gandhi for the war in Sri Lanka directly. Nevertheless she has played a very important role in the same. It is a well known that its air force trained its Sri Lankan counterpart in precision-guided attacks. Without this help Sri Lanka would have never been in a position to win the war against LTTE. It is also eminent that Sri Lankan government heavily relied on the air strikes in its war against LTTE. The air strikes also helped them win the war with minimum casualties. Though many civilians were affected by the military offensive by the Sri Lankan government, the Indian government deliberately did not put any diplomatic pressure on the Sri Lanka, In spite of 40 MP’s from Tamil Nadu supporting this government at the centre. All the TN politicians in the ruling party have made themselves a laughing stock by reacting to the war when the war is about to be over. The war has been going on for more than three years, yet the reactions are pouring in only now because of elections.

Revenge is a dish best served cold. Sonia Gandhi had the opportunity to take revenge on the LTTE, after 17 years. And she has utilized it in the best possible way so that no one would be in a position to blame her. I truly admire her for the way she has taken the revenge.

Is it not a great strategic move by her? Leave your comments…..Till then adios amigos.

100 ways to kill Kasab

Last week, I was surprised to read the article in the Times of India about the claim by the lawyer of Mohammed Ajmal Kasab, who was involved in the 2.36363636 (26/11) attack, that he should be tried in the juvenile court.

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Kasabs-claim-of-being-juvenile-dismissed-by-court/articleshow/4413081.cms

I am not sure why we take these matters to the court of law. When there is so much of evidence with us, why can’t we prosecute him directly and hang him without any trial? Or at least the process should be much quicker. I am sure this case would go on for a long time (10 years or may be more). Once the judgment is passed in the court, he would file a clemency petition with the President of India and the pseudo secular parties would support the same. Or Al-Qaeda would hijack a plane from India and demand the release of Kasab.

We all know that we cannot hang or punish to Kasab by following a democratic process. Let us try to find out some funny ways to kill him.

1) Since he has claimed that he should be treated as juvenile, the jail authorities should provide him only lactogen or cerelac 3 or 4 times a day. No other food item should be provided to him.

2) We can ask him to participate in bungee jumping event in Bangalore. There is high possibility that he might plunge to death as the harness could snap.

3) We can put him in a cage and collect money from people (nominal amount only) to throw slippers on him. That way the government can earn revenue and eventually he would die. At least we all would be happy that we have a role in it ;).

4) He can be asked to configure India localization modules of Oracle applications (that’s enough to kill him I guess). If that’s not sufficient, he can be asked to do work for reconciliation (read it as ‘R’) of differences between the modules. Working for ‘R’ he would certainly commit suicide.

5) He should be made as a personal assistant to M Karunanidhi (CM of Tamil Nadu). Then he should be asked to defend MK’s various statements and views on LTTE to the press. The press reporters would get frustrated and kill him probably….

Hey guys….y don’t u suggest 95 other ways of killing kasab. You can include it as a part of the comment.

Hasta la vista.

Puppet dance by MMS

Hey! This post has nothing to do with Multimedia messaging service. It’s about Man Mohan Singh (MMS) the greatest puppet of modern times.

I have very high regards for Mr. Manmohan Singh as an individual and as an ex-finance minister (for his role in opening up the Indian economy in the early 1990’s), but not as the current Prime Minister of India. Most of us are aware that Advani challenged MMS for a debate in the television and MMS shied away from the debate. The funniest part was he accepted that he cannot match Advani in public debate. I felt that MMS was a few bricks short of a load.

To make this post interesting, let us assume that this challenge for the public debate is accepted by MMS and that Madam Sonia Gandhi sends the answers by email to MMS so that he can read it out. And Rajdeep Sardesai is the mediator for this debate.

Question 1
--------------
Advani – MMSJI, First of all let us discuss about terrorism. You have accepted publicly that your government has not been successful in warding off the terror attacks. Is it not one of the major failures of your government?

The live debate is being watched by the congress people also. There Sonia instructs some people to prepare the answers and send a mail to MMS.

MMS in a debilitated tone replies (after reading the reply by Sonia)....Congress government always stands for secularism. We are not communal party. Communal parties are the real threat to the country. Hence we thought we would not concentrate on terrorism.

Question 2
--------------

Advani – Sounds funny MMSJI, Ok. Lets talk about secularism then. Lets talk about the clean chit given to Jagdish Tytler by the CBI and the consequences. Chidambaram would have almost been hit by a shoe. Subsequently Tytler has apologized to the Sikh community. He has been denied ticket by congress. Why did Tytler apologize if he is innocent? Did it not prove that he is guilty and congress is shielding someone who killed lots of innocent Sikhs? Is this secularism?

Meanwhile Lallu joins Sonia’s team and sends a mail without their knowledge to MMS.

Poor puppet reads the message. “We are bothered only about Muslims because we know that we will get 18% of the votes. In our country secularism means giving protection to the Minority religion for getting their votes. But who demolished Bajri Masjid?”

Question 3
--------------

Advani – It was the congress government which was ruling India, and Narashimha Rao was the Prime minister when Babri Masjid was demolished. It was being covered by the press, TV crews etc. Don’t you think you could have avoided the demolition of Babri Masjid? Is it not the failure of Congress party?

Meanwhile Mulayam joins Sonia’s team and sends a mail without their knowledge to MMS.
Puppet reads the message again. “All the Television coverage was in English at that time. Hence we could not understand. That is the reason why we want English language to be abolished in India.”


Question 4
--------------

Advani – It seems you are reading the answers from the mails which are coming to you. This is why I mentioned that you are the weakest prime minister. However Pranabji (the joker) said India does not need wrestler as prime minister. Don’t you have people who can understand the context in which it has been said?

The computer in front of MMS crashes at that time. MMS was not sure how to respond, and starts crying like a baby thinking what would Sonia Gandhi say about this fiasco.

Meanwhile Rajdeep sardesai sensing that he has to defend congress some how, completes the debate by saying “You can see only women crying in Public. Now Mr.Manmohan Singh, by crying before the public has proved that he could also cry, thereby proving that he is really brave and strong”.

A figment of my imagination

So far, all my posts in this blog (except the first one) have a serious tone. Hence I thought I would take up a serious topic and put it in a funny perspective. You may consider this as a mordant satire or thigh-slapper depending on your ability to take the joke (esp. if you are at the receiving end)

Imagine Arjun singh is appointed as the sports minister in the central government. Also assume that a world sports committee is formed and he becomes the head of that committee, with extraordinary powers. Now he has to prove himself!! What would he do? He does not know anything beyond reservation. So he decides to introduce reservation in the global sporting events. Not only does he include reservation, but also he changes the rules of the game so that the backward communities are given a fair chance at these events.

Olympics – Athletics 100 meters for men. – Our reserved candidates compete with the world record holders like Usain Bolt and Asafa powell. The race begins and Usain Bolt comes first in the race in 9.62 seconds. That’s a world record!!! But it is decided that the reserved candidate would be provided the gold medal because the rules say that a reserved candidate needs to run only for 33 meters in the 100 meters race. And the reserved candidate has completed the 33 meters in 9.61 seconds. Hence the reserved candidate is very happy. India winning first gold medal in the athletic events in Olympics triggers celebration throughout India. Also there were representations from many more communities that the minimum of 33 meters should be reduced to 10 meters for their caste. Arjun singh and congress, being champions of the under privileged promised that they would bring in this change after the elections.

Tennis – The rules of tennis are amended to include the provisions for the affirmative action. Persons participating in the reserved category need not hit the ball to the other side of the court. The reserved category players can hit the ball anywhere. A big line is drawn outside the stadium, within which the reserved category players are allowed to hit. The first match was between Nadal and a reserved category player. Nadal had to run all around the stadium, sometimes he has to jump into the audience to hit the ball. Finally nadal tries to hit a shot by running to the top most point in the stadium and has a near fatal fall from there.

Football – In foot ball the rules were amended to include self goals by the reserved category members of the team. This makes it very difficult for opponent teams, because they have to defend their goal posts in addition to defending the opponent’s goal posts when the reserved category members try to score self goal.

Eventually, people stopped watching sports channels as they were sure the reserved category would be declared the winners.

The above story is just to emphasize that successive governments in India have been cheating the general public with reservation politics. If they are genuinely interested in the well being of the people, they would have provided proper education to all the people.
