संक्रमण काल के विकल्प नरेन्द्र मोदी
देश की रजनीति राजपुरुषों से विहीन सी हो गई है। यूपीए की प्रमुख सोनिया
गांधी जो कांग्रेस पार्टी की अध्यक्ष भी हैं, अपने दामाद के माध्यम से
जमीनों से 'मोटा माल' बनाने के खेल में लगी हैं। रक्षा सौदों में दलाली
के आरोपी और विभिन्न बड़े-बड़े घोटालों के सूत्रधारों को उनका संरक्षण
जगजाहिर है। उनकी कठपुतली और देश के प्रधानमंत्री मनमोहन सिंह के गुट के
मंत्री जो 'अमेरिकन एजेंट' जैसे दिखते हैं, वे खुले आम घोटालों की
'लूटसंस्कृति' के प्रतिनिधि बन चुके हैं और मनमोहन सिंह उन्हें खुला
संरक्षण दे रहे हैं।
शेयर व वायदा कारोबार के खेल अब व्यापारी नहीं, सरकारी मंत्री व नौकरशाह
खेल रहे हैं। वस्तुओं व जिंसों के दामों के उतार-चढ़ाव का यह खेल
प्रतिदिन जनता को 15-20 हजार करोड़ रुपये की चपत दे देता है। सरकारी
समर्थन से साम्प्रदायिकता, वस्तुओं के दामों व मुद्रास्फीति के समान
बढ़ती जा रही है। इनके बीच आम आदमी की कीमत डॉलर के मुकाबले रुपये की
कीमत जैसी गिरती जा रही है। खेल ऐसा है कि देश की कुल 25-30 प्रतिशत बचत
में आम आदमी का हिस्सा जो कभी 70-80 प्रतिशत के बीच रहता था, अब 20 से 30
प्रतिशत आ गया है। यह चेतावनी की घंटी जैसा ही तो संकेत दे रहा है कि अब
देश की 80 प्रतिशत जनता को कर्ज के जाल में जीवन जीने को अभ्यस्त होना
पड़ेगा। ऐसी अर्थव्यवस्था का नक्शा खड़ा हो चुका है जिसमें खेती-किसानी
बेमानी होती जायेगी और परिवार नाम की संस्था बिखर जायेगी। ऐसे में देश की
25-30 करोड़ बेरोजगार युवा शक्ति को मुफलिसी के दिनों में परिवार का
संरक्षण मिलना संभव ही नहीं हो पायेगा। देश की अर्थव्यवस्था को दुनिया की
अर्थव्यवस्था से जोडऩे की जिद कांग्रेस पार्टी व भाजपा दोनों की ही है।
यह हमारी भावी पीढिय़ों के लिए घातक हो चुकी है किन्तु इसे पलटने का
आत्मबल किसी भी राजनीतिक दल के पास नहीं है।
समय नये विकल्पों पर सोचने व आजमाने का है। क्षेत्रीय दल चुनावों के
उपरान्त तीसरा मोर्चा बनाने की कवायद में हैंै। यद्यपि वे कांग्रेस
पार्टी के समर्थन से ही सत्ता में आ पायेंगे। स्वाभाविक है कि अगर ऐसा
होता है तो यह गठजोड़ एक से दो साल तक ही चल पायेगा और कांग्रेस पार्टी
देश के बिगड़ते हालातों का ठीकरा तीसरे मोर्चे के दलों पर फोड़ पुन:
सत्ता की वापसी की राह देखना चाहेगी।
व्यवस्था परिवर्तन के तथाकथित आंदोलन खड़े होने से पूर्व ही बिखर चुके
हैं और नये विकल्प और उनका राष्ट्रवादी स्वरूप अभी दूर की कौड़ी ही है।
अगर यह संभव न हुआ तो इसके लिए अब लंबे समय तक और संघर्ष होना तय है।
समय संक्रमण काल का है। देश में चौतरफा अराजकता और कुशासन से आक्रोश एवं
निराशा की स्थिति है। जनता परिवर्तन चाहती है। वह सुशासन और पारदर्शिता
के साथ जनकेन्द्रित ऐसा विकल्प खोजना चाह रही है जो भारतीयता और भारतीय
हितों को प्राथमिकता दे सके। स्वाभाविक रूप से जनआकांक्षा, अति
अन्तर्राष्ट्रीयवाद व कारपोरेटवाद के विरुद्ध तो है ही, फैल रही
अपसंस्कृति के विरुद्ध भी है। देश के बिगड़ते आर्थिक माहौल व सांप्रदायिक
वैमनस्य ने जहां सामाजिक समरसता को समाप्त किया है वहीं जीवन संघर्ष को
बढ़ा दिया है। अब सबसे बड़ी समस्या बेरोजगारी की बन चुकी है जो युवा होते
इस देश को गृह युद्ध व अराजकता में धकेलने के लिए पर्याप्त है।
किसी चौथे सशक्त विकल्प के अभाव में भाजपा, नरेन्द्र मोदी एवं एनडीए एक
संक्रमणकालीन विकल्प के रूप में सामने उभर चुके हैं। व्यवस्था परिवर्तन
के आंदोलनों ने कांग्रेस पार्टी के साथ-साथ भाजपा के चिंतन की सीमायें
जनता के सामने रख दी हैं। जनता को जिस वैकल्पिक व्यवस्था अथवा व्यवस्था
परिवर्तन के सपनों को हाल ही में दिखाया गया है, उनसे भाजपा भी खासी दूर
ही है। एक अजीब सी टिप्पणी बुद्धिजीवी, पत्रकार व आमजन सभी कर रहे हैं कि
भाजपा भी कांग्रेस जैसी ही है और भाजपा के सत्ता में आने से भी कुछ बदलने
वाला नहीं है। मोदी भी बाजार, उपभोक्तावाद व कारपोरेटवाद के समर्थक ही
हैं। किन्तु प्रश्न मात्र नीतियों का नहीं, नीयत का भी है। एक आदर्श एवं
यूटोपिया की तलाश में हम अगर भाजपा को खारिज करते हैं तो यूपीए अथवा
यूपीए के समर्थन से तीसरा मोर्चा सत्ता में आ सकता है। ऐसे में यह कथ्य
एक सनक ही माना जायेगा कि या तो देश में एक आदर्श व्यवस्था लेकर कोई आकाश
से देवता अवतरित हो अन्यथा हम यूपीए के नारकीय कुशासन में ही खुश हैं,
मगर भाजपा व एनडीए बिल्कुल भी स्वीकार्य नहीं।
नरेन्द्र मोदी के नेतृत्व में भाजपा और एनडीए अगर सख्त प्रशासन एवं
पारदर्शी व्यवस्था के साथ बाजारवादी व्यवस्था को ही आगे बढ़ाना चाहते हैं
तो भी उन्हें एक मौका मिलना चाहिए। जागरूक, संवेदनशील, समाजवादोन्मुख व
व्यवस्था परिवर्तन के समर्थक लोगों को जो 'मौलिक भारत' चाहिए, वह एक
क्रमिक प्रक्रिया से ही बन सकता है और उन्हें मोदी के आगमन को उसकी दिशा
में बढ़ते हुए एक कदम के रूप में लेना चाहिए, जो लोकतंत्र व कानून के
शासन में विश्वास रखने वाला और 'राष्ट्र प्रथम' की मानसिकता से ओत-प्रोत
है। यह जरूर है कि मोदी की आलोचना, समीक्षा व विश्लेषण निरंतर किया जाना
चाहिए और वैकल्पिक मोर्चे की नीतियों व ढांचे का विस्तार भी समानान्तर
होते रहना चाहिए।
हां, मोदी को वह भूल नहीं करनी चाहिए जो अटल बिहारी वाजपेयी ने भाजपा को
कांग्रेस पार्टी का 'भगवा संस्करण' कह कर की थी। मोदी को भाजपा को भगवा
से उठाकर भारतीयता, घोर बाजारवाद से उठाकर समाजवादोन्मुखी बाजारवाद तक
लाने की कोशिश करते दिखना चाहिए। ऐसे में उनकी स्वीकार्यता बढ़ती ही
जायेगी। शेष कार्य व्यवस्था परिवर्तन के लिए लगी शक्तियां करती जायेंगी।
ऐसे में मैं कह सकता हूं 'स्वागत है नरेन्द्र मोदी'।

Let truth be known about Modi by Ram Jethmalani
India was made to believe that Modi was complacent while riots seared Gujarat. Evidence indicates otherwise.
|
Gujarat CM Narendra Modi. REUTERS
he UPA government, on coming to power in 2004, put in place its most accomplished experts to meticulously draw up its corruption road map, which it succeeded in implementing with precision until the scams exploded in public space. Post-mortem reports of the 2G scam, the ISRO Devas deal, the Commonwealth Games fraud, to name a few, clearly establish this. I have no doubt that future historians will place the UPA in the same league as other plunderers of India, like Ghazni and the Pindaris.
Another road map uppermost in the Congress agenda was towards the political assassination of Narendra Modi, and banishing him from India's political firmament forever, using the unfortunate post Godhra riots as a handle. Congress think tanks worked overtime to draw up a comprehensive, multifaceted strategy of slander, false accusation, governmental and non-governmental disinformation, Goebellesian lies, aimed at converting falsehood into belief among the general population, opinion leaders and influential intellectuals. The lies were to be simple and crisp; they were to be repeated ad nauseam to embed them firmly as truth in the public mind, the media and internationally. Puppets were to be created and nurtured to keep the fiction of Modi's involvement in the Godhra riots alive in the courts, in the media and in the minds of the people, through any lie or deception. Now that the SIT has completed its investigation, and submitted its report to the Supreme Court, it is time the nation and the world knew about the travesty of slander and lies that has been disseminated against Modi by the Congress through hired and unethical civil society organisations, such as Citizens for Justice and Peace headed by Teesta Setalvad, disgruntled officers like Sanjiv Bhatt, who made futile attempts to start an aggressive campaign against Modi 10 long years after the riots, and certain sections of the media. Today, the lid over the entire political conspiracy has blown, and the false testimony and machinations of Teesta Setalvad and Sanjiv Bhatt have been exposed.
Let me inform the people of a few instances of deliberate disinformation against Modi, which gained huge currency during the last 10 years, backed by the malicious hate campaign, which the SIT investigation has proved to be completely false.
1. The country was made to believe that Modi sat complacent and inert while the riots were searing Gujarat. The evidence indicates otherwise. Immediately after the Godhra train burning, on the evening of 27 February 2002, the Gujarat Chief Minister summoned an emergency meeting of top ranking officials of the government, took steps to deploy the Rapid Action Force (RAF), State Reserve Police, local police at sensitive points. Since the army at Ahmedabad Cantonment had been called at the border in view of the attack on Parliament earlier, the Chief Minister requested the then Defence Minister telephonically on 28 February 2002 to immediately deploy army battalions to tackle the situation, which were deployed immediately.
2. The Congress, through its mouthpieces Teesta Setalvad and Sanjiv Bhatt maliciously fabricated a story, vigorously picked up by certain so called intellectuals and of course the anti national elements of our society, that Narendra Modi and the police administration conspired to carry out a pogrom by Hindus against Muslims and that the Gujarat riots were state sponsored. Undisputed statistics presented to the SIT show that in the first six days of the riots, 61 Hindus and 40 Muslims were killed in police firing. The death of any person in police firing is tragic. But does a police firing death toll with 60% casualties being Hindu indicate a pogrom by the state government against Muslims? The complaint of Zakia Jafri (filed at the behest of Teesta Setalvad) alleges that the riots that followed the Godhra train carnage were a conspiracy and a pogrom by the ruling party in Gujarat and its Chief Minister in which almost the entire administration was a co-conspirator. More particularly, they perpetrated a smear campaign that the Chief Minister had instructed the police officials not to interfere with or use force against the Hindus taking revenge against the Muslims. This allegation has not been supported by any evidence, except for the false testimony of Sanjiv Bhatt, which not only appeared suddenly after 10 years, but has also been demolished by positive evidence that he is lying.
3. Another canard led by Teesta Setalvad and other vested interest groups globally was that the Gujarat government and its police did not investigate rape cases. Evidence before the SIT establishes that this was pure fiction, that all rape complaints were being investigated and some convictions had already taken place. It also proved that Setalvad fabricated a false rape case in Naroda, which she alleged was not investigated, with the alleged victim herself denying it and also the eyewitness. Another gruesome fabrication spread by Setalvad about the tearing of a pregnant woman's stomach and lifting the foetus on the tip of the sword has been disproved by the SIT as false. On post mortem the foetus was found intact within the unfortunate dead lady who succumbed to burns during the riots, and was identified by her relatives. This is corroborated by the statement of the doctor who performed the post mortem.
4. While investigating the Gulbarg case, the SIT came across nearly 20 witnesses who came with their readymade typed statements and refused to videotape their statements, to which the SIT objected. When they did give their statements, they did not match the readymade statements, and also admitted to the SIT that the typed statements were given to them by Teesta Setalvad.
5. The Gujarat police had found on investigation that the Godhra train carnage was a conspiracy and what followed was a violent reaction to it. Teesta Setalvad, under tutelage of the Congress government, propagated to the world at large that the Godhra train carnage was accidental and the riots were a conspiracy supported by the Gujarat government. The Justice Banerjee Committee report claiming the Godhra train burning to be an accident was held illegal by the High Court of Gujarat. The SIT also rejected the accident theory, and found on reinvestigation that the Godhra carnage was indeed a conspiracy to burn and bake the unwary passengers and the riots were a reaction. This fact is now judicially established in the trial of Godhra incident by the sessions judge appointed by the then Chief Justice of Gujarat High Court as directed by the Supreme Court. The very fact that one of the principal accused in the Godhra carnage is now a fugitive in Pakistan, with an Interpol Red Corner Notice, clearly reveals how the conspiracy originated. So, another evil myth to poison the minds of the people of our country against Modi has been disproved by a series of judicial findings.
6. It is now widely known that the entire anthology of false and gruesome stories brought to the notice of the Supreme Court by mainly Citizens of Justice and Peace, the NGO headed by Teesta Setalvad, on the basis of which the Supreme Court appointed the SIT itself, were found by the SIT to be false. Modi bashing, Modi defamation became a lucrative industry and a blood sport during the last 10 years. Appropriate recruitments were done, the Goebbelsian strategy that if you repeat a lie a thousand times it will become a truth was used to the hilt. The Congress and Teesta Setalvad must have basked in their success until the SIT findings revealed not only the real truth to the world, but also exposed the lies of Setalvad and Sanjiv Bhatt, in tutoring witnesses, pressurizing them to give false affidavits, and providing false information to the SIT and the Supreme Court. Though still trying their best to attack the SIT, there is little they can do, as all statements of all witnesses are recorded under videography.
7. The enemies of India desperately tried to turn the unfortunate Gujarat riots into a global issue and grievously tarnish Gujarat and Modi through their strategy of repeating lies. But the same Europeans who had succumbed to Teesta Setalvad's pogrom and state sponsored riot theory in 2002, appear to have realised their mistake, and are now graciously making amends, not to mention the overtures made to Modi by the UK and the US.
Well, the lengthy SIT process that involved thousands of witnesses and reams of evidence is over, and Modi has emerged unscathed. It is now time that the conspiracy against Modi and Gujarat should forcefully be informed to the general public, the "secular" intellectuals, the opinion makers and the media.

An Agenda For Cleansing Our Political System

An Agenda For Cleansing Our Political System
Here is an e-mail I have received from Mr. K. Gopal, a former colleague. I have tweeted the points mentioned in it twice, the whole message in the Twitlonger format a few days ago and as individual tweets yesterday. Mr. Rajendra Shukla, a friend on Twitter, suggested that it is worth sharing with all. I am therefore reproducing it here with slight editing.
Winds of Change....
If you agree with this please pass it on. If you are RIGHT don't GIVE Up...
Please share it with a minimum of twenty people among your contacts and in turn request each of them to do likewise.
In three days, most people in India will have this message.
This is one idea that really should be passed on.
REFORM ACT 2013
NO TENURE / NO PENSION Parliamentarians collect a salary while in office but should not receive any pay when they're out of office.
NO RETIREMENT PLAN Parliamentarians should purchase their own retirement plans, just as all Indians do.
NO RIGHT TO VOTE PAY RAISE Parliamentarians should no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Their pay should be linked to the CPI or 3%, whichever is lower.
NO SPECIAL HEALTHCARE Parliamentarians should lose their current health care system and participate in the same health care system as the Indian people.
NO LEGAL IMMUNITY Parliamentarians MUST also abide by all laws they impose on the Indian people.
ANNUL CONTRACTS All contracts with past and present Parliamentarians should be void effective 1/1/13.
NO DYNASTIC / FAMILIAL SUCCESSION Total ban for five years of any family members of elected members of Parliament / Legislature becoming members of Parliament and state Legislature during and for 3 years after cessation of membership. Any violation will attract penalty of withdrawal of recognition of party / right to stand for election of the individuals!
The Indian people did not make this contract with them. Parliamentarians made all these contracts for themselves.
Serving in Parliament is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.
If each person who receives this message contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people in India to receive the message. Don't you think it's time?
If you agree with this, please pass it on.

Volunteers have to walk kilometres together carrying the relief material on their backs. They are also crossing tough & high hills with the load of relief items, trying to reach far flung villages.
In Chamba, there is a camp running since 22 June where approx 10,000 people are being provided food and medical treatment regularly.
Chamba is a place which is a junction which connects all four ways of Chardham Yatra (Gangotri, Yamunotri, Kedarnath & Badrinath). A huge shelter has been established in village Dikhol near Chamba where pilgrims are being provided food, medicine and everything they need.
Transport assistance provided to approx 8200 yatris from Uttarkashi & Chinyali Saudh to Rishikesh from 21st June to 24th June, by available vehicles: Bus, truck, car, sumo, jeep, tempo & police vehicles etc.

Jai Hind
Rank Pay Case
While the rank of Captain had been shown equivalent to Senior Time Scale (Under Secretary to Govt of India) of the civil services till the 3rd Pay Commission, it was suddenly shown below this civilian counterpart with effect from 01 Jan 1986 after the 4th Pay Commission, when the concept of rank pay was introduced since it was deducted from the basic pay.
And while there was no 4th Pay Commission recommendation or government order downgrading the rank of Captain (and subsequent ranks), this downgrade was surgically performed in a vacuum without official sanction, without authority and it continues till date.

Narendra Modi Must Come in the Arena to Fight
Narendra Modi has been declared campaign Head for 2014.But see what all events have taken place after declaration.LK Advani episode,BJP fractionalised and now JDU leaving NDA.
Can Modi run his campaign through his Pawns set by him in BJP organisation?Certainly he can not operate from Gujarat through his remote control.He has to come to Arena to spear head campaign sooner than later.Why he is banking upon LK Advani,Gadkari & Sushma to deal with NDA folks?Modi has insulted these people some way or other in the past. Modi is not acceptable to many other parties other than JDU.So what his Lts will do?Except J Jayalalita their are no takers for Modi.
Now Modi has to devise methods to work with BJP cadre and create such a frenzy that he alone can bring 200 seats in 2014.If he does that it will be his own Charisma and then few more can come with him.Else BJP will have to be either in opposition or give support to some one else.
So now as par Kavi Chandbar Dai'Char Baans Choubis Gaj Angul Ashta Praman,Ta Upar 2014 Hai Mat Chuke Narendra Modi". Kyonki Chuk Hui to BJP Bikhar Jayegi Aur Itihaas Ke Gart Main Sma Jayegi.

ADVANI HAS BEEN ASSASSINATED POLITICALLY BY MODI
It is shocking for the BJP organisation that Modi and his gang has staged a Coup against Senior Leader and BJP patriarch LK Advani.
No wonder all other LKA supporters now look standing by Narendra Modi because of their Political Ambitions.Has any one from BJP asked Mr Advani what is his political ambition now?Certainly he is father like and may not want to be PM candidate but fearing this Modi and his gang supported covertly by RSS assasinated Advani Politically.
Advani was not taken by surprise he must have smelt it for last few days before Goa Conclave.But he never imagined that Rajnath will become Modis weapon to side line LK Advani.Moreover Sushma,Jaitly,Ananth Kr and Naidu proved that they are Fair Weather Birds now migrated,
Modi is experienced in hatching conspiracy.He did it with Sanjay Joshi with fake CD,Got removed Vaghela and Keshoo Bhai and noe tallest and prized kill LKAdvani.
This may not go too far as some are thinking that Modi alone can get 300 seats to the BJP in the name of Hindutva.Hindus have now know how Modi operates.May be few millions Jingoistic workers may support him but he may not get desired support in National Politics.
For this he has to leave Gujarat and come on national political arena which he is avoiding at this moment.May be he has collected very big resources for last 10 years in Gujarat and may use them from there it self to operate is Puppets in Delhi.
Time only will tell Him as much to people of this country what is in store.As epic Ramayana shows Biggest Administrator and Most Development Centric Ravana was ultimately could not touch Sky was Killed by Ram.

Move to Goa-BJP
Advani is voicing very clearly that Narendra Modi is not the only one in BJP who have done excellent Developement in States.Shivraj and Raman Singh are other two CM who have also brought their respective states to reckoning.
For Modi there are few lessons in the current communication.He has to be Humble for whatever be his achievements.He has to be a Party man.For that he has to leave arrogance and come to terms of reality of humiliating Sanjay Joshi & Nitin Gadkari.
In Goa these two issues will be discussed and Modi has to take a positive step in the direction of reconciliation.Say sorry within Party Meeting and that will be over.Let Sanjay Joshi be in BJP executive for betterment of BJP Organisation.
Even if Modi has popular support but he can not be bigger than his Party.He has to fight election if at all he will,under Lotus Symbol.
RSS may also advise Modi correctly before it is too late.If BJP has to go with Narendra Modi then Modi has to Compromise and show acceptance of his mistakes and arrogance.
Else CONgress is wating to come back in 2014 with Jugar,in case Modi remains what he is today.

LK Advani on Shivraj Chauhan
Why Advani is now comparing Shivraj with ABV?Why LKA says MP was a Bimaru Rajya now developed under leadership of Shivraj?
LK Advani gome few steps further in comparing Development of Gujarat and MP,saying Gujarat was a developing state already and Modi has brought up till this level.
This all being done to avoid Modis attention from Delhi and to make Modi humble as a party worker ought to be.Modi has to rise above self and clear pending issues in party itself.First he has to get Gadkari back as President since even if coterie tried nothing could be established.
Second,Modi should Publicly Apologies Sanjay Joshi and respectfully get him his due in the BJP.
Unless these two events take place,BJP will not able to bring winning numbers with or without Modi.e
CONgress is keeping close eyes on this develoment and will act to win 2014.

CBI Case Against Pronnoy Roy of NDTV
CBI case against Prannoy Roy
The First Information Report (FIR) filed on the basis of ``source information'' says that the undue favour granted to Prannoy Roy had led to a loss of approximately Rs five crore to Doordarshan. The FIR names Ashok Mansukhani, the then Deputy Director General (DDG) of Doordarshan, Harish Awasthi (DDG), Shiv Sharma, the then Director General (DG), S Kapoor, the then DG, S Krishnan, the then DG, Prannoy Roy, Managing Director NDTV and the television network too.
The FIR filed in the court of Special CBI judge Ajit Bharihoke alleges that the officials of Doordarshan had ``entered into a criminal conspiracy at New Delhi during 1990-1996 with Prannoy Roy with a view to cause favour by abusing their official position.''
According to the CBI charge-sheet, DD suffered a loss of over Rs 3.52 crore due to the ``undue favours'' shown to NDTV as its programme The World This Week (TWTW) was put in `A' category instead of `special A' category.
There was a wide gap in the rates of two categories as under the former the commission rate was Rs 80,000 while under the latter it was Rs 1.70 lakh. The time slot for sponsors in the two categories was 90 and 120 seconds respectively, the FIR said. The TWTWcontinued as a commissioned programme till April 1996 and NDTV was paid Rs 1.35 crore while DD's revenue on account of this was merely Rs 3.12 lakh, resulting in a total loss of 1.32 crore to it. The inquiry report of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) had initially found the discrepancy and was later verified by the CBI, the FIR states.
The case has been filed under Section 120-B of the Indian Penal Code for criminal conspiracy along with Sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act (PCA).
The FIR further alleges that programmes like News Tonight, News Hour, Surkhian, News Headlines, South East Asia Capsule and Good Morning Indiawere approved illegally by Basu in connivance with Mansukhani, Awasthi and other officials.

BJP fans Ajit Jogi conspiracy theory: 'Must come clean'
At the receiving end of the Congress's initial conspiracy theory that alleged a BJP-Maoist nexus behind last week's attack in Chhattisgarh, the BJP now appears to be strategically taking cover behind fresh conspiracy theories — that point to internal squabbles in the Congress — to minismise the political fallout of the attack ahead of the assembly polls.
This was evident when the BJP declined to reject the allegation that former Chhattisgarh chief minister and senior Congress leader Ajit Jogi was involved in a conspiracy to eliminate the Congress leadership in Chhattisgarh. The allegation was levelled by BJP's Madhya Pradesh unit chief Narendra Tomar at a party meet in Gwalior Thursday.
"A lot of theories are floating around. There are questions that Jogi may want to answer. Conspiracy theories are coming out from the Congress stables," BJP spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman said in response to queries regarding Tomar's allegations.
Not only did the BJP spokesperson avoid rejecting or distancing the party from Tomar's allegations, she, in fact, sought to suggest that Jogi's reported plan to file a defamation case against Tomar was an attempt to divert attention. "Diverting attention by defamation will not work. Where was Jogi? Why did he take a helicopter? It is fair that he should give submission to the (Judicial) Commission and answer himself," Sitharaman said.
This came a day after BJP general secretary in-charge of Chhattisgarh J P Nadda also stressed upon "circumstantial evidence" that triggered speculation of an alleged internal Congress conspiracy.
"There are talks about who was present and who was not (in Congress's convoy), who came first, who came late and who survived and who got caught (in the Maoist attack)... It is not appropriate for me to make a comment," Nadda said at a press conference here to highlight the "circumstantial evidence".
CONGRESS IS HELL BEND TO INCREASE DIVIDE BY PLAYING VOTE CARD
Ahead of 2014 polls, govt plans universities for minorities
NEW DELHI: The Centre is mulling setting up five universities with 50% seats reserved for religious minorities, a "Muslim outreach" by Congress ahead of the 2014 elections. The universities will come up in the hubs of Muslim and Christian population in five states.
"These universities will have 50% reservation for minorities with socio-economic backwardness as key determinant. Minorities are not just religious groups but also social groups as mentioned in Article 15 and 16 of the Constitution (for affirmative action)," minority affairs minister K Rahman Khan told TOI.
While a university in Rae Bareli in Uttar Pradesh, the constituency of Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, is being considered, one in Srirangapatna in Karnataka seems a certainty. Biharand Bengal will also get one each while one in Buddhist centre of Nagpur is still to be decided.
The Sukhdeo Thorat committee has given the opinion that central universities for religious minorities can be set up through an act of Parliament, dispelling concerns about legal challenges in the wake of court battles over religious quota.
To further bolster the backward factor in promoting minorities, the Centre may introduce "creamy layer" to sieve out the well-off among minorities for admission to these institutes, as is prevalent for OBCs in employment and education.
Sources argued that universities with focused clientele were legally viable, citing examples of Ambedkar University in Lucknow that has 50% quota for SCs and Amarkantak Tribal University in Madhya Pradesh.
Given the controversy over the "minority character" of AMU and Jamia Millia, now facing legal challenge, minister Rahman Khan argued he was not interested in the nomenclature so long as it was focused on promoting education among minorities. "Even in AMU and Jamia, which have minority character, half of the seats have to go to non-minorities," he said.
While the move will elicit a strong reaction from the BJP, the ruling Congress is keen to bolster its "Muslim outreach" by rolling out the decision in the run-up to elections. The targeting of generic minority group barely hides the fact that Muslims comprise 72% of the total population of minorities that include Sikhs, Christians, Buddhists and Parsis. The Centre plans to subdivide the 50% minority quota among all five in proportion to their population.
Crucially, Khan said these universities will fall under the minority affairs ministry, keeping their salience in focus.
Otherwise, higher educational institutes are the mandate of the HRD ministry, even minority institutes like AMU and Jamia

Breaking String of Pearls
found love for India is China
by Rajeev Sharma May 30, 2013
No, it is not Manmohan Singh’s love in Tokyo. Call it ‘strategic love’.The proof of the pudding is in eating. Apply this dictum in the context of India-Japan relations and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s about-to-be concluded Japan visit, and the facts speak for themselves.Here are some facts as reflected through the just-released Joint Statement on the Prime Minister’s visit to Japan, appropriately titled “Strengthening the Strategic and Global Partnership between India and Japan beyond the 60th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations.”Japan has agreed to give loan to India worth 71 billion yen (almost seven million US dollars) for the Mumbai Metro Line III project as well as the yen loan of the fiscal year 2012 totaling 353.106 billion yen (3.47 billion dollars) for eight projects. Besides, Japan has also pledged 17.7 billion yen (174 million dollars) for the Campus Development Project of Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad (Phase 2) and 13 billion yen (127 million dollars) for the Tamil Nadu Investment Promotion Programme.
All this put together amounts to a staggering 4.46 billion US dollars and all of that in just one visit of the Indian Prime Minister and his talks with his Japanese counterpart Shinzo Abe.More importantly, the Japanese money will flow into actual infrastructural development works across the length and breadth of India with Japanese technical assistance and it is not a dole to keep the Indian economy afloat – just taking a leaf out of the Pakistan brand of aid politics.During United States President Barack Obama’s India visit in November 2010, Obama had sewn up some twenty deals worth ten billion dollars. An elated Obama had then said that he would go back to his country and tell his people that his India visit had yielded fifty thousand American jobs.Now imagine how many jobs the Japanese financial assistance over the next few years will generate for IndiaAnd yet there is no grandstanding by the humble Japanese. This conduct conforms to the dictionary definition of a true friend.Of course, it will be naïve to think that the Japanese are loosening their purse strings for India overnight for nothing and imagine ‘Hindi-Japanese bhai bhai’ kind of misplaced ideas. In international diplomacy, there are no free lunches.It’s true that no other country in the world today feels as threatened by China’s so-called “peaceful rise” as Japan. But then India too feels threatened by China. That is why Shinzo Abe, the Japanese Prime Minister and a known India friend, had said in his address to the joint session of Indian parliament in the Central Hall in the summer of 2007 that the Indo-Japan relations were a “confluence of the two seas”, a phrase that he drew from the title of a book written by the Mughal prince Dara Shikoh in 1655.Abe is an unabashed China-basher who says he is determined to see that the South China Sea does not become a “Lake Beijing”. He has proposed an ADSD – Asia Democratic Security Diamond, comprising Japan, India, Australia and the US.This is what Abe said in a signed article in December 2012: “If Japan were to yield, the South China Sea would become even more fortified. Freedom of navigation, vital for trading countries such as Japan and South Korea, would be seriously hindered. The naval assets of the United States, in addition to those of Japan, would find it difficult to enter the entire area, though the majority of the two China seas is international water.”Abe has forecast that in about a decade Japan-India relations would overtake Japan-China and even Japan-US relations. “I envisage a strategy whereby Australia, India, Japan, and the US state of Hawaii form a diamond to safeguard the maritime commons stretching from the Indian Ocean region to the western Pacific,” he said in this article.Now have a look at the India-Japan Joint Statement at the end of the Singh-Abe talks.Manmohan Singh has expressed his eagerness to live Abe’s dream. Sample the language in the exact quotes from the Indo-Japan bilateral statement:· The two Prime Ministers expressed satisfaction at the steady growth of political exchanges, dialogue and policy coordination at all levels. They positively evaluated Ministerial-level annual dialogues and exchanges, particularly the Foreign Ministers’ Strategic Dialogue and the Ministerial Level Economic Dialogue. The two Prime Ministers also noted the successful outcomes achieved during the”2 plus 2” dialogue, the Foreign Secretary level Dialogue, the Foreign Office Consultations, the Defence Policy Dialogue, the Trilateral Dialogue between India, Japan and the United States, as well as other key interactions on various areas including cyber, counter-terrorism and economic partnership. The two Prime Ministers welcomed the launch of the bilateral Maritime Affairs Dialogue, the first meeting of which was held on 29 January 2013 in Delhi.· The two Prime Ministers welcomed the expanding defence relations between the two countriesbased on the Joint Declaration on Security Cooperation betweenIndia and Japan. The two Prime Ministers expressed satisfaction that the first bilateral exercise betweenthe Indian Navy (IN)and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF)was held in June 2012 off the coast of Japan and decided to conduct such exercises on a regular basis with increased frequency. They decided to establish a Joint Working Group (JWG) to explore modality for the cooperation on the US-2 amphibian aircraft.India and Japan were never as close to each other as they are today. The bonding is to become all the stronger in the near future. All thanks to China.If you press a balloon from one side, it will bloat from another side. China has pressed the balloon from two corners almost simultaneously. It may well prove to be China’s hamartia.*The writer is a Firstpost columnist and a strategic analyst. bhootnath004@yahoo.com.

Why is Narendra Modi afraid of Sanjay Joshi
Why is Narendra Modi afraid of Sanjay Joshi? |
Wednesday, 08 May 2013 16:50 |
. SHAHID FARIDI
But what was Narendra Modi focusing on in those crucial days? If party insiders are to be believed, the Prime Ministerial aspirant was busy lobbying not only for his own induction but also against the return of former BJP general secretary and RSS pracharak Sanjay Joshi as an office-bearer in Rajnath's team. As it turned out, Modi got a place in the powerful Parliamentary Board, which inter alia, selects BJP candidates for all elections and Joshi was not given any post. This is not the first time when Narendra Modi's hand is seen in Sanjay Joshi being kept out of a party body. Differences between the two cropped up early, in 1989, when the two worked together as mid-level functionaries of the BJP in Gujarat. Modi and Joshi are two diametrically opposite personalities. While Modi loves to play the dominant role in any organization or group he works for and is known for his bull-dozing tactics, Joshi is more of a 'discussions and debate guy' known for his strong ideological moorings and brilliant strategies. Modi is a personality-oriented politician who believes that the people of Gujarat support brand Narendra Modi, followed by the BJP, while the self-effacing and media-shy Joshi promotes one brand - the RSS-BJP or the Sangh Parivar brand. During their early days in Gujarat, Modi, himself a formidable strategist, never liked the fact that all the prominent leaders of the state preferred to interact more with the affable Joshi, who was also fast endearing himself to the central leadership of the BJP. But relations between the two took a nasty turn in 1995 when Shankersinh Vaghela, then a powerful minister in Gujarat, revolted against the then state chief minister Keshubhai Patel. Vaghela, leading a group of 46 BJP MLAs, demanded removal of Keshubhai from chief ministership. Atal Behari Vajpayee intervened and Suresh Mehta was picked up as a compromise CM. The story of Vaghela's revolt and his flight from Gujarat capital to the temple town of Khajuraho in Madhya Pradesh, with his 46 loyalist MLAs in tow, is well known. What is not known is that Vaghela had also demanded that Narendra Modi, who was then general secretary of the state BJP, be sent out of the state. As part of the compromise with Vaghela, Modi was made All India Secretary of the BJP, but headquartered at Chandigarh. The humiliation was double for Modi, because he was not only banished from Gujarat, but even denied permission to stay in Delhi, though all the other central office-bearers of the BJP are stationed in the party's national headquarter on Ashoka Road in New Delhi. Party insiders say that though both Keshubhai and Shankersinh disliked Modi for his arrogant ways and were instrumental in ousting him from the state, Modi was convinced that it was Sanjay Joshi who orchestrated his banishment. Joshi was at that time not on bad terms with Vaghela and was extremely close to Keshubhai and Atal Behari Vajpayee, who were mediating among warring Gujarat factions. This, according to BJP-RSS insiders, is the genesis of the problem between Modi and Joshi. "Modi has resolved that since Sanjay Joshi got him ousted from Gujarat, he will get Joshi ousted from the party," said a senior BJP leader. To add insult to injury, after the Vaghela revolt, the 1998 election saw clear victory of BJP in Gujarat and return of Keshubhai Patel as the chief minister. Sanjay Joshi was hailed as one of the key architects of that victory. While Joshi's honeymoon with the BJP leaders and cadres in Gujarat continued, Modi went into a deep sulk. Very few people know this background of intense rivalry between Modi and Joshi, and therefore, the widespread surprise at the length to which Modi goes to keep Joshi out of the reckoning in the party. After spending his vanvaas in Chandigarh for one-and-half years, Modi returned to Delhi and started building relations in BJP and RSS. And he got his big chance when, after the massive destruction and loss of lives and property in Gujarat due to the earthquake in Bhuj, the Keshubhai government faced severe criticism for the way it handled the relief and rehabilitation work. The BJP's central leadership, influenced largely by L K Advani, decided to send Modi as the chief minister of Gujarat in 2001. Since then, there have been anti-Muslim riots in Gujarat, following the burning alive of Hindus in a train coach at Godhra, for which an unapologetic Modi used the action-reaction thesis, and he won three consecutive Assembly elections blatantly using the communal card. The three consecutive wins catapulted him to the centre stage of national politics. No other leader in the BJP appeared to match Modi's financial and political clout. He had by now also decimated his rivals in Gujarat politics. Shankersinh Vaghela had joined the Congress, and Keshubhai Patel and Suresh Mehta, along with many other leaders had left the BJP. The only thorn that remained in Modi's flesh now was Sanjay Joshi. Modi made many attempts to finish Joshi politically. But Joshi, unlike the other Modi detractors from Gujarat, managed to spring back after every blow delivered by Modi. When a CD was distributed during the BJP's silver jubilee celebrations in Mumbai in 2005 purportedly showing Joshi in a compromising position with an unidentified woman, there were murmurs that the CDs were distributed at the behest of Modi. Later, there were media reports about there being a Gujarat hand behind the CD. An inspector of the Gujarat ATS, Balkrishna Choubey, who was being questioned by the CBI in connection with the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case, told the agency that the Joshi CDs were distributed by him along with other policemen on the orders of the then chief of Gujarat Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) chief D G Vanzhara, who is now in jail. In the corridors of power in Gujarat capital, Vanzhara has been known as a Modi confidant. Forensic examination of the CD by the Hyderabad-based Forensic Science Laboratory found the CD to be a doctored one. The FSL said that the CD was fake and was nothing but "digital manipulation". The man in the CD was not Joshi. But those who had prepared and circulated digitally engineered CD had achieved their objective as the BJP leadership, red- faced over the RSS pracharak's apparent romp, had sacked Joshi for six years even before the CD could be examined for its authenticity. While Modi camp rejoiced, it was Joshi's turn to go for vanvaas. Those who prepared and circulated the CD could not have chosen a better time to attack Joshi. It was a time when Joshi had earned the wrath of the then BJP president L K Advani, who was then the undisputed leader of the party. Advani had visited Pakistan earlier that year and reportedly hailed Jinnah as a secularist. This caused revolt against him in the Sangh Parivar. While Advani was defiant, and claimed that he had not said of done anything in Pakistan which he should either retract or review, the BJP, RSS and other Sangh outfits thought otherwise and a powerful section of RSS-BJP leadership decided to ask Advani to step down from the post of party president. But the question was: who would bell the cat? The job to meet and seek the Iron Man's resignation was given to Sanjay Joshi, who was then the BJP general secretary in charge of organization. Joshi met Advani and told him that the party and Sangh wanted him to put in his papers. Understandably, Advani got very upset with Joshi. When the CD episode came up soon after this, Advani too got his chance to get back at Joshi. He was among the first leaders who demanded that Joshi be sacked even before the CD could be examined for its authenticity. Joshi's vanvaas ended in 2011 when fellow RSS man from Nagpur Nitin Gadkari brought him back from the cold and put him in charge of Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. As a result, Modi did not talk to Gadkari, who was the BJP president, for nearly eight months. The Gujarat chief minister did not take phone calls from his party president, for whom Modi's personal staff had a stock reply "sahab meeting mein hain" (the boss is in a meeting). Modi also refused to campaign for the party in Uttar Pradesh during the Assembly elections. In an interview, Gadkari had admitted that there was little interaction between him and Modi. A sulking Modi did not even attend the opening day of the national executive committee meeting in New Delhi soon after the Uttar Pradesh election in 2011. Many senior leaders intervened and he was made to mark his presence on the second day. But the mother of all tantrums by Modi vis-à-vis Joshi was yet to come. The BJP national executive committee was meeting at Mumbai in 2012. One of the important items on the agenda was the amendment of party constitution allowing an incumbent party present to get a second consecutive term. The amendment was being made reportedly to facilitate a second term for Gadkari, considered a blue-eyed boy of the RSS. Sanjay Joshi was by then reinducted as the national executive member by Gadkari. When members started reaching Mumbai for the meeting, Gadkari was informed that Modi, along with other members of the executive from Gujarat, would not attend the meeting unless Sanjay Joshi was sacked from the executive committee. Gadkari was keen on a smooth conduct of the national executive meeting, because his own second term was at stake. So he called Sanjay Joshi and discussed Modi's threat with him. Sanjay agreed to resign. Gadkari publicly hailed Joshi's decision to resign as "an act of sacrifice" in the interest of the party. After Joshi's resignation and hours after the executive committee meeting had started, Modi made a grand entry at the venue. Having resigned from the executive, Joshi decided to return to Delhi and booked his ticket. But to his surprise, he was again called by the party president and asked not to take a train back to Delhi, but instead take a flight for the return journey. On being asked why, Gadkari indicated that Modi does not want Joshi to take a train because the train from Mumbai to Delhi goes via major Gujarat towns of Surat, Baroda, Bharuch Vapi, etc and posters and hoarding in favour of Sanjay Joshi had started coming up in these towns. Modi feared large gathering of BJP workers at railway stations in support of Joshi, so he scuttled the rail journey. A large number of posters and hoarding came up across the country, including at the BJP headquarter in Delhi in favour of Joshi. The posters had lines from Atal Behari Vajpayee's poems "Chhote mann se koi bada nahi hota, tootey man se koi khada nahin hota" (a man with a small heart can never grow big, a man with a broken heart, can never stand strong). Asked why Modi was so intolerant of Joshi, a senior leader said: " Modi wants to be king, Sanjay Joshi is a king-maker, raja ko dar ya to fakir se hota hai, ya to apne se takatwar se, aur Sanjay Joshi fakir hai" (the king is afraid of either a fakir or a more powerful person, and Sanjay Joshi is a fakir). Modi, who brooks no challenge to his leadership, is acutely aware of Joshi's huge popularity among BJP workers in Gujarat, and also among the RSS brass. Present RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat is reportedly very favourably inclined towards giving Joshi, originally an RSS pracharak, a prominent role in the BJP. BJP president Rajnath Singh, himself a pracharak, is also not averse to accommodating joshi in his team. With such formidable backing for Joshi, it remains to be seen how long Modi will be able to keep him out. Therefore, the last word in the battle between between Modi and Joshi is yet to be written. Meanwhile, Joshi has started getting threatening letters and phone calls asking him to "stop coming in the way of our boss, or else you will be physically eliminated". Joshi has lodged a complained with the police giving him phone numbers from which the threatening calls were made to him and has asked the police to track down the callers. The police is yet to nab his tormentors. The home ministry, however, responding to Joshi's complain, has given him security. |
