Congress Murders Democracy Again!

Some points I would like to make on the emergency style attack on Baba Ramdev and his supporters in Ramlila maidan.

1. In any democracy, people are allowed to protest. If 50,000 gather instead of 5000 as applied, the police and the civic authorities have to make appropriate arrangements for their well being rather than carry out all out assault on sleeping protesters. A lot of them were women and old people.

2. That dishonorable Digvijay Singh who seems to take so much umbrage to the Baba’s empire does not seem to be bothered by the lavish lifestyle of the Catholic Church or the various Imams. Has this man ever done the right thing or told the truth in his entire life?

3. It seems that various Congressmen are getting all worked up about the presence of Sadhvi Rithambara on the stage. So it is OK for Digvijay Singh to appear on stage with extremist Muslims and joined them in accusing the RSS of carrying out the 26/11 attacks but RSS members cannot peacefully protest against corruption?

4. RSS is a respected organization by all India except the Congressis, pseudo-secular communists and their supporters. Even if RSS is guilty of all that Digvijay Singh daydreams about, they still have as much right to peacefully protest. We are a democracy. Not that we can tell by the way these Congress goons behave.

5. Congress has once again that in face of loss of power they would abandon even the most basic sense of humanity let alone tenets of democracy to stick to power. I thought that despite of people like the Gandhi family, Digvijay Singh, Kapil Sibal and their ilk, there were some decent people in Congress. None of them have spoken thus far. Do they even exist? Or an “honorable Congressman” a contradiction in terms?

6. Not that Manmohan Singh had too much moral right to begin with, now it is all gone. In fact anyone who calls him a clean and an honorable man should look in the mirror and indulge in serious soul searching. Maybe even seek psychiatric help.

7. We have no doubts about the politicians and their ways. When we used to watch movies about the British atrocities on hapless protesters, we used to wonder how come Indians are beating their fellow Indians on the orders of the British. Now I am wondering that how come the so-called neutral IAS officers and other babus are behaving exactly like those traitorous Indians carrying out the British bidding. In fact the Home Secretary is making statements, which make Baba Ramdev a coward. Shame on every non politician who went along with this cowardly attack on the protesters. With this, they have now joined the Jaichand Hall of Fame!!

8. The electronic media seems to have done their job properly and portrayed this without any of their usual pro-Congress bias. The print media seems to be reluctant in calling out the guilty but the op-ed authors are coming out in full force.

9. As per Mr. B Raman who almost always gets it right, Congress was trying to divide the support bases of Baba and Anna. They almost got it right. Agnivesh decided to attack Ramdev and said that he should have accepted the Congress assurances. This leftist goon hiding behind a holy garb is leech who latches on to prominent people to grab some limelight.

10. Mr. Raman is asking Manmohan Singh to do the right thing in is article. That is where he gets it wrong. Manmohan Singh does not have the power or the ability or the desire to do that. No one in Congress does. The only thing Manmohan Singh is interested in now after having failed on all fronts is to leave a legacy. What legacy you ask? It is one where he makes peace with Pakistan at the cost of Indian interests just like every other Indian PM and he will fail just like them for reasons obvious to all but the aman ki aasha brigade.

11. The real action should now happen on two fronts. The UPA government should be told by all Indian IN A PEACEFUL MANNER (after all we still believe in democracy even if they don’t) that the status quo is unacceptable. It is not about Baba Ramdev but about the nation. We should continue the protest in PEACEFUL ways otherwise we are no better than the Congress or Marxist goons.

12. But the real action which really needs to happen is TO VOTE THE CONGRESS AND THEIR POSSIBLE SUPPORTERS OUT. REMEMBER, EVERY CORRUPT POLITICIAN IS A POSSIBLE SUPPORTER. If voters of UP elect Mayawati in the next elections, they should know that she is likely to support a corrupt UPA regime at the center. After all, chor-chor mauseray bhai. The elections are the real battlefield where we will be fighting for the very soul of our nation. If all the nation-loving patriots get together and vote, then there is no reason why we cannot get rid of the parasites in charge of New Delhi.

Ramdev arrest: The prime minister should act now
When he heard that Baba Ramdev was planning to agitate on this issue in a big way, the PM should have asked his emissaries to contact him, explain what the government has already been doing and what it intended doing in future and advised him not to embark on an agitationl approach which could prove counter-productive.
Instead of doing so, the government mistakenly thought that it could benefit from the support base of the Baba to reduce the support base of Anna Hazare.
