Tuesday, May 12, 2009 Are we reading correctly ??? Times of India reports here that faced with a query from the Election Commission, cabinet secretary K M Chandrasekhar has now denied that the government has constituted any special committee for the purpose of examining ‘parity in pensions’ of defence personnel. TOI further adds that the government obviously has backtracked in face of the danger of being pulled up for violating the model code of conduct by announcing the decision bang in the middle of elections. But here is a Congress Advertisement issued by the party on Page 12 of Punjab Kesari today and as we can all see here, it clearly talks of setting up of the ibid committee. Kindly also note that the said advertisement also directly talks not of any vague concept of ‘parity in pensions’ but unambiguously of ‘One Rank – One Pension’ in no uncertain terms. TOI and Congress , please reconcile. Is there a catch somewhere, or is there something we are missing here ??? :-)

Is Modi Untouchable?-Facts for Media and Public

Narendra Modi and Gujrat Riot 2002 AND FOR THE SAKE OF INNOCENT HINDUS WHO ARE BLAMED FOR EVERYTHING FORWARD TO AS MANY FRIENDS AS POSSIBLE No discussion can happen on Mr. Narendra Modi, without talking about the Gujarat riot of 2002. Communal riots are not new in India or for that matter, in the state of Gujarat itself - it has happened since medieval times. Neither was the Gujarat riot of 2002 the largest in the history of the state - more extensive and more prolonged violence with much higher death tolls had happened in 1969 and 1985, under the rule of Congress governments.Those who vilify Modi as a representative of Hindutva politicis of the BJP or RSS kind, fail to remember that Hindu - Muslim riots happened even before the RSS was founded in 1925 or the BJP in 1980. Hindus, known for their tolerance and faith in religious pluralism, are never known to be in conflict anywhere else in the world, but the same cannot be said of the followers of the Muslim religion, involved in religi

Attack on Indian Army-Enemy Within

Tamil Secessionists' attack on Army Convoy - Beginning of AnarchyB R Haran7 May 2009In a shocking incident on the evening of Saturday, 2 May, several hundred hooligans belonging to the Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) and Periyar Dravidar Kazhagam (PDK) attacked an Army convoy on the Nilambur Bypass Road near Coimbatore . Around 300 army personnel were returning from Hyderabad after completing a three-month training camp, to their headquarters at Madukkarai in Coimbatore via Salem . Early in the morning, when the convoy of over fifty trucks was passing through Salem, the MDMK and PDK cadres along with goons of Tamil-chauvinist and pro-LTTE outfits like Tamil Desiya Iyakkam and Thamizhaga Ilaignar Iyakkam, attempted to block the bypass, charging that the tanks, weapons, arms and ammunition were being transported to Sri Lanka to aid the Sri Lankan army in its war against the LTTE. Only the timely intervention of the Salem police thwarted attempts to attack the convoy; th

The "Untouchable" BJP By: Mahipal As the nation is in the process of choosing its government, I see a clear tendency of media against BJP. Anything debatable is uttered by BJP gets immediate negative attention as if BJP/NDA is the greatest threat to this nation. It is to be remembered that when you talk about something negative it reflects the fear within your psycho. Talking negative about BJP will make this organisation more powerful because any publicity is a good publicity these days. Remember the journey from Jansangh to BJP which has been remarkable if not astonishing? A story of struggles of few of the individuals with a commitment; I think they themselves would have not realised what they were going to achieve. Today it is the second single largest party of the country. Not all came easily but something came from the source they would have never thought. Then print and later visual media who made sure that BJP must be defeated with all possible means. But the fact h

SC Activism

Supreme Court's decision to constitute a Special Investigation Team (SIT) and order fast track hearing of Gujarat riot cases should be welcomed. However, it was appalling to read about a recent ruling by SC on a similar PIL, which sought to fast track hearing of criminal cases against mafias that are active in politics. It may be recalled that SC has ruled against any fast track processing of criminal cases against such individuals. Criminals in politics have done greater harm (and will continue to do so) to the country than Gujarat riots. Scums like Sahabuddin, Pappu Yadav, Mukhtar Ansari, Ateek Ahmed, DP Yadav (and the list goes on) might have been responsible for many more killings than those in Gujarat riots. Still the Supreme Court did not consider it to be important enough to to set up special courts and expedite hearing of cases against them.As BJP supporters, we must do our part to form public opinion on this very important issue and request SC to reconsider its previous ru
Are Brahmins the Dalits of today ? by abhimishra.91 on Thu Apr 30, 2009 7:52 am Are Brahmins the Dalits of today?At a time when the Congress government wants to raise the quota for Other Backward Classes to 49.5 per cent in private and public sectors, nobody talks about the plight of the upper castes. The public image of the Brahmins, for instance, is that of an affluent, pampered class. But is it so today? Doctors in armsThere are 50 Sulabh Shauchalayas (public toilets) in Delhi; all of them are cleaned and looked after by Brahmins (this very welcome public institution was started by a Brahmin). A far cry from the elitist image that Brahmins have!There are five to six Brahmins manning each Shauchalaya. They came to Delhi eight to ten years back looking for a source of income, as they were a minority in most of their villages, where Dalits are in majority (60 per cent to 65 per cent). In most villages in UP and Bihar, Dalits have a union which helps them secure jobs in villages.At Grou
