Why the fuss on NOTW investigation in UK?

I can not understand why the Indian media is going mad over coverage of the New of The World scandal. It is not as if that they haven't seen it before and haven't DONE it before.
The holier than thou attitude of the Indian media is shameful. Why are they doing a live coverage of the event.... because it is related to Rupert Murdoch or that they can't still get out of the imperali hangover.
The Indian media has also been involved in such a scandal. And mind you not even a single finger was raised. I know reporters and television channels who have hired private investigators to crack the personal e mail accounts of the victim, relatives, friends and family members in the Arushi Talwar murder case.
I know of police officers, who have confided in me, stating that they were appalled to see how the media was reacting to the incident. They almost destroyed the evidence at the crime scene. Fingerprints of several reporters had contaminated the crime scene. But no one in our country has the balls to book these crooks without ethics. If we can not book our crooks we can't blame others. Somewhat similar to the case when Darkha Butt tries to put corrupt politicians in the dock.
I know of a newspaper which claims to be rather courageous.... changing stance in the Arushi case. Just like the CBI directors. But that is another issue to be dealt with some other time.

Amul can't stop attacks Baba

Rahul Baba says that the government and police machinery cannot stop all terrorist attacks. How true. As if we needed to learn this from this moronic icon of youth being propped up by the Congress.
The government cannot stop such attacks as it does not have the will to save the common man. The aam aadmi doesn't have any respect in the eyes of the party which claims to represent it. There is nowhere in the world that the country's citizens are treated with so much disrespect. The way the moronic middle aged icon has uttered these words has ensured that people of the country come to know of his intellectual standards.
Unless each and every life of this country is treated with as much respect as Rahul Gandhi's or for that matter Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh's we will never get out of this rut. The government has to fund for our security if it is using so much of taxpayers money for the VVIP security. The terrorists will continue to target our cities and we will be waiting as to who will become the target in the next terror strike.

Another day another serial blast in Mumbai

Combine an inefficient and unprofessional police establishment and a political class without a strong will. What do you get?
Room for serial blasts. And that too repeatedly. This is high time that we started treating the lives of our citizens with the proper respect they deserve. We need to develop and evolve a strong will to thwart such attacks. Develop a professional police force. Not a force that heads off to Azamgarh and Jamia to pick up a few boys to solve the case. The same also happened in the Malegaon blasts. Just to make it clear that I do not have a religious agenda.
I do not think or know of any serial blast or terrorist attack case that has been investigated and proved beyod doubt. In most of these cases the investigations are found wanting. The courts end up sentencing the accused on the basis of shoddy investigations and evidence. The scientific temperament in missing in our police forces. Time to roll out the police reform bandwagon.

Sing your anthem

I was very sad to note that only a handful of Manmohan Singh cabinet were singing the national anthem during the swearing in ceremony. Why can't our elected representatives feel proud and sing it publicly. And what's with our Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh, UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi and our beloved President Pratibhatai Patil. Aren't these leaders supposed to feel proud at leading our nation.
The only exception is Home Minister P Chidambaram. He was the only minister that could be seen singing it proudly. Hope that other politicians and elected representatives learn from him.

Cabinet expansion

Another cabinet expansion of the Manmohan Singh government is scheduled for tomorrow. This expansion too is expected to be much like MMS. Uninspiring and stale.
Why is there a need for this expansion? I do not think that this expansion will have any effect on the government on which the Prime Minister doesn't have any control.
A person who blames the misdeeds of his cabinet colleague and not taking action on it on coalition dharma doesn't need to be the Prime Minister of this country. He may change a hundred ministers but we all know from where the power is being remote controlled. So stop this expansion farce and save the tax payers some money.

Amul Baby at it again

The Congress' middle aged young yuvaraj is at it again. The Amul Baby was seen at Bhatta Parsaul again today. He seems to have enjoyed the rural environs there as he reportedly also took a nap during the farce pad yatra.
Today he was seen busy seeing the other way while shaking the hands of people. And his lack of focus while talking to people is moronic. There is no other word to describe it.
The campaign by Amul Baby will again prove to be a failure and will be gauged from the performance of the party in Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls which are less than a year away. He will again prove to be a disaster just like like earlier performances in Bihar, Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
The yuvaraj should try and get some lessons in focus and political aptitude. I really hope that he improves in all possible ways before being thrust upon this nation as a Prime Minister.

Who killed Dilshan?

So finally it has been proven without doubt that 13-year-old Dilshan was killed by a bullet. Unless that bullet was fired by his teenaged friends who had accompanied him to get some almonds from the army compound it could have been fired by a security personnel.
It is no rocket science to establish as to who fired the bullet. There is a need to do a ballistic test on the bullet and the determine which bore was used. Was it a restricted one or a civilian one.
But the issue here is not this. The issue is to rein in the armed forces. They are not a law unto themselves.
We are still bearing the burden of our imperial past as the Indian armed forces continue to hold fort in major civilian areas and cities. A legacy of the British times when the Royal Indian Army was their way to continue their rule in our country.
With our nation being a democracy it should do away with maintaining huge army cantonments in major cities. And any arguments in favour of maintaining them inside highly populated civilian areas is still stuck in the British past.
There is an urgent need to remove the armed forces from the civilian areas. Though the Indian army is a professional organisation and there is virtually no threat of a take over bid but there is an urgent need to remove them from civilian areas. This will be beneficial for the armed forces and the Indian democracy as well.

Manmohan's Bangladesh prem

Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh apparently believes, or has been made to believe, that over 25 percent of Bangladeshis are anti-Indian as they are associated with Jamaat-e-Islami and hence with the dreaded Pakistani intelligence agency the ISI.
This is the most irresponsible statement ever being made by an executive head of the state. Ever worse than George W Bush's several remarks. This statement has created so much, and has the potential to create more, and would also help India baiters in that country. This despite the fact that India played a pivotal role in getting the country independent. Our relations going sour with Bangladesh is the worst ever management of bilateral relations between the country which could have looked up to us for almost everything.
And as far as his bureaucrats go he has a team of dumb asses patrolling the PMO. Who cannot even upload the correct file on the PMO website. Virtually jeopardising the relations between the two countries.
These officials do not care in which direction our nation in headed. And they do not care if the Prime Minister is made to look like a fool. How can the government allow such officials to continue. Is it that India doesn't take its relationship with Bangladesh seriously? Or are these officials above India?
It would be good for MMS if he goes ahead and fires a few officials. It will definitely help him in shedding the weakest PM tag.
