Probably Inspired by Politicians of his Day,Confucius Says……

“I have yet to meet a man as fond of high moral conduct as he is of outward appearances”

Confucius  

 

….probably inspired by Politicians of his day !….some things simply never change !

….and I was inspired by our Politicians of the Day !

…..yesterday on ‘Times Now’ on a debate on the Draft Report of the PAC on the 2G Scam,it ended in a slanging match between Congress Spokesman Manish Tewari and BJP Representative,Mahesh Jethmalani….Arnab Goswami as the Anchor was holding his own and seeking direct answers from Manish which were being studiously   avoided…..Mahesh lost his cool on Manish….in my view justifiably so…..accused him of polemic arguments and filibustering….”Shut Up!” screamed Mahesh…”Shut your trap !” screamed Manish back further threatening to meet every Profanity received with an Expletive of his own…..and then at the end coolly stating ” there is nothing personal between us !”

Vinod Mehta of Outlook with a stoic measured and respected stand said that it would be better to hold the debate the next day once it is adopted and seen whether it remains in this form or several phrases and paragraphs are deleted…Morever it would be unfair to simply concentrate on the PM and the PMO in the report as then the charge of political motivations would stick….uncover the roles played by others..Corporates and Journalists…and as if on cue,Arnab never misses a chance of flashing Barkha Dutt of NDTV across the Times Now Screen !….Barkha Dutt featured strongly in the Niira Radia Tapes discussing the DMK alliance with the Congress and who from DMK will become what Minister !…A Raja and Maran featured in the conversations   

So was I amused or angry at Manish Tewari’s silly obfuscating rhetorics in this debate yesterday…..Both really …he said that as a matter of personal propriety he will not discuss what is in the PAC Draft Report till it is adopted by the Parliament…Fuuny stand,as his Colleagues in Congress,some who were members of the PAC were holding Press Conferences lambasting the Draft Report as politically motivated,undemocratic and unilateral as it has pulled up the PMO and the then Finance Minister and now Home Minister,Chidambaram for not taking preventive action and turning a blind eye,despite being in the know,from letting the 2 G scam happen

The fact is that both CAG and the draft Report of PAC provide the figure of Rs 176000 crs as the loss suffered by the Nation in the 2 G Scam……the critical aspect is that the PMO allowed this scam to happen as they kept an ‘arms length’ away from the Telecom Ministry…also instructions were issued to keep this length as well as confine only to informal communications and not formal ones….Why !?

It’s like the PMO telling the’ Telecom Ministry to Tihar Jail’ Minister, A Raja, 

“Go ahead and commit the Rape but we shall not be in the same room with you !”…..did not the PMO hear the Country screaming from the Room…and not just once !

There is a Limit to helplessness in Coalition Compulsions….to let this flare to Rs 176000 crs is a crime !

Mahesh Jethmalani’s illustrious and flamboyant and colourful and quite blunt father,Ram Jethmalani was screaming across channels yesterday “this government is the most corrupt and dishonest ever…it is is not revealing the names of the Swiss Bank A/c Holders because it includes the names of  several top Congress men who are in power and running our government….this is a government of Dacoits !…his angst was real

I find it difficult to disagree with the Jethmalanis on this Score of Black Monies in Swiss Banks and Corruption and 2 G Scams  

The Truth has to be uncovered and Told to preserve the integrity and sanctity of our Democracy

  1. IMO, congress should give a rethink about their spokesperson.

    Manish Tewari is very irritating. Cant stand anymore 🙂

  2. hi gaurav,
    below is not pertaining with your above thread, but just my thought the last evening i just got…..i would like to share with u.

    well just sharing my thougght……..A raja was only minister which reduced your monthly outgoing expenditure. think……bcause of all he allowed many tlecom operter to enter & which reduced the prices of per minute to paisa per minute. basically he made things cheaper.

    now compare metal,oil,vegetables agriculture minister, all have sky rocketed the prices. our basic out go has increased……..so i really dont c any damage , as a AAM AADAMI we indian should be happy. also think if that money would have been collected then where it would have gone. iam of opnion that if nation made a loosss, it oki. but indian public got cheaper rate. btw nation gets always gets good collection of taxs. those money would have gone to politices only.they all r fighting just because lots of party didnt get there part of share.

    common the amount govt spend on infrasturcture is really whooopping. ( most of contracts go sub contractor & all those sub contractor r politically connected…..so round & round it goes to them) if indian story is for infrasture , then note taht india is always under recurring infrasturctr . people pay taxs to govt. while govt spends it on infrastucture . infratuture companies give contract tosub contractores which rpolitcally connected.

    so be rest assure our infrastucture story is forever…….enjoy weekend….regards……..pranav
