Digvijay Singh, Explain to civil society.

Mr Digvijaya Singh,Will you explain to civil society?

Digvijaya Singh questions on national TV channels. 

Question : What has Justice Santosh Hegde done in Karnataka as Lok Ayukta?

He said further, he may be good as a person but has he stopped corruption in Karnataka? Hegde in Lok Ayukta of Karnataka has not been effective in curbing corruption.  

So his question is, how can he (Santosh Hegde) be on the drafting panel of Anna Hazare for Lok pal bill ?... - -- -- -- Digvijaya Singh.
 
Mr Digvijaya Singh civil society is asking you:   


With the same token will you ask your PM to step down? We considered him as a nice, clean person but under his leadership look how many scams took place? And we believe it is just the tip of the iceberg.  He too is not effective in curbing corruption?

If you are sincere, honest man with integrity, come in front of national TV and  ask your PM to resign first. 


Before talking against Justice Hegde, Anna Hazare and questioning their credibility and integrity, you need to demand resignation of ... Your Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar.

Because there are charges against him too. You never uttered a word when IPL scam took place? Sugar, onion, garlic, pulses prices shot up sky high and living became hell for common man. 

Where were you Digvijaya Singh?

Media was reporting with visual coverage on tons and tons of wheat that was rotting in the godowns and outside, where were you Digvijaya Singh? Which minister was responsible and why did you not ask him to step down on moral grounds?

When 2G scam took place you did not come on national TV and asked A.Raja to resign? When CWG scam took place you did not ask Suresh Kalmadi to step down on moral grounds? 
 

Will you ask your CM of Maharashtra to resign on moral grounds because he has charges against him too that he has acquired a flat in Bhakti Park society in Wadala under Chief Minister's discretionary quota meant for economically weaker section by showing wrong income?

Ask your Home Minister of Maharashtra to resign because 26/11 happened when R.R.Patil was Home Minister then. He lost the moral right to stay in power after 26/11. Today R.R.Patil  is still the Home Minister of Maharashtra? 

Do you think all these people have the moral right to stay in power? 

And finally, according to today's news report  in HT, dt. Apr 23, 2011, is your own credibility not under question as a politician or a public figure?
  

This case is registered in July 2008. It says and I quote,  with your political power you have been pressurizing authorities to keep you off the hook in this land scam.

What right do you have to stay in any public office or even as Congress General Secretary? If  you and your party believes in morality, it is high time you first prove your own credibility. 


What moral right you have to question others credibility ?

May be all politicians like you, and many others have come to think that civil society can be fooled. But remember, only sometimes, not all the time.

You are insulting our intelligence. We, the civil society do understand who is fooling with us. and who is honest.

Civil Society is waiting to hear from you on the national TV channels.

Finally...The People Power Wins!

VICTORY 
of the People, By the People and for the People.



Anna Hazare, the humble, selfless leader of masses becomes India's one voice! Saying it loud and clear... 

Enough is Enough. We have had enough of you! 

It is Just the beginning. Demolish Corruption.

We need many reforms in our electoral process that would stop criminals, unsocial elements from entering into politics and in our governing bodies. We need to stop these looters from entering into political system. We need to stamp them out.
But we need more and more people to join this  movement and strengthen the efforts of 73 year old man who is fighting our battle, really speaking.

You have just seen in five days, people of all faiths, cast, creed were together in what we experienced in the last five days with Anna Hazare was a movement by non political, common, ordinary people telling these rulers... 



Enough is Enough. Don't take us for granted. We wont let you loot this country.

The message was loud and clear.

But hello.....the movement has just begun.


We must make sure, it is kept on. More and more people must participate to support the movement with Anna. What a phenomenon. No one was paid to come to rally support. It was all spontaneous and not politically staged drama as few skeptics are saying,

Don't be a pessimist. Next time, don't stay in the drawing room. Don't just keep blaming others. When your turn comes to show, Yes, You are with Anna and the fellow citizens, Just join them. 

Play your small role in a big way.

As a matter of fact, what India all over showed was, there are no divisions, religious,social or otherwise among common people. Young collegians, school students, old and retired, men, women, working  class, businessmen, housewives, working ladies, children, all came out in support of Anna Hazare, a staunch Gandhian, a strong believer in "Satyagraha" and non violence.

He took the country by storm and caught the imagination of ordinary masses.  

No West or East. No South and North. India became one with no borders between under his spell. It was a peaceful movement that spread like wild fire not just in India but across the Indian borders too.

The social divisions are created by politicians for their own political gains.  It is proved once again, People's Power is ultimate, unbeatable and it can create Tsunami.


The time has come to unleash people power.
When your turn comes, show, you have a say in what you want and how you want your government to function. 


Do it now and you will be the power to Change.

Do we have different laws for Ministers ?

Do we have two sets of laws in India ?  
One for ordinary citizens and one for Ministers?



I was shocked to read this news in HT today. (3rd Apr2011 pg- 8)
 
If you read the news report, you would be thinking, if that was you, just an ordinary citizen, you would have been arrested and put behind the bars at that very moment for such a criminal activity.

Yes, I bet,  you or me would have been in the jail. Because, carrying loads of
CASH on you without the permission of RBI is illegal while on tour to foreign country.

But if you are a minister
, you become a special person with special position and special considerations. So the law applied is different. Carrying cash in excess of Rs 7500/- is a criminal offense by law.

The law says, as a traveler, you can carry max 2000 US$ in cash on you and 3000$ by way of traveler's cheques. 
That is RBI rule.

This minister of cabinet rank and a member of legislative assembly was carrying in person, US $ 25000 in traveler's cheques, (Rs11.25 lakh) 75,000 UAE Dhirams ( Rs 9.14 Lakh) in cash,and Rs 0ne lakh Indian currency in cash.

This is the way, money made by corrupt practices goes into foreign Banks such as Swiss accounts and similarly people like Hassan Ali are used by politicians and businessmen to park their funds in overseas accounts.This is a loot and it is going on in day light.

Is this not a mockery of our law? Our justice system? Really, the investigations by commissions or CBI or standing or sitting committees is an eye wash.

The rich, powerful, politically well connected can get away with murder. And the ordinary waits to get justice for years.

Next time when you vote,...Think,  who are you voting to power and why?

10 lessons to learn from Japan

Take Japanese Lessons !

A small country Japan,  taught this world TEN exceptional values to make a nation stand tall  when the land was shaking and triggered worst Tsunami that killed over thousands of Japanese.


These special qualities based on values in its society members make the nation great. When a nation is being built, it must be based on solid values so that nothing can shake it or shatter it, not even the worst of Tsunami. The reason Japan became super power has everything to do with these TEN values.
 
A wake up call for we all Indians dreaming of India becoming a superpower.....It is time to think !!!.


10 things to learn from Japan

1. THE CALM
Not a single visual of chest-beating or wild grief. Sorrow itself has been elevated.

2. THE DIGNITY
Disciplined queues for water and groceries. Not a rough word or a crude gesture.

3. THE ABILITY
The incredible architects, for instance. Buildings swayed but didn’t fall.

4. THE GRACE
People bought only what they needed for the present, so everybody could get something.

5. THE ORDER
No looting in shops. No honking and no overtaking on the roads. Just understanding.

6. THE SACRIFICE
Fifty workers stayed back to pump sea water in the N-reactors. How will they ever be repaid?

7. THE TENDERNESS
Restaurants cut prices. An unguarded ATM is left alone. The strong cared for the weak.

8. THE TRAINING
The old and the children, everyone knew exactly what to do. And they did just that.

9. THE MEDIA
They showed magnificent restraint in the bulletins. No sensationalizing. Only calm reportage.

10. THE CONSCIENCE
When the power went off in a store, people put things back on the shelves and left quietly

Imagine now ...

what would have happened in India under the same circumstances and how our politicians, business community would have staged the show. 

1- First, we would have seen hoarding of all essential eatables.

2- Then , prices of essential commodities would have sky rocketed

3- We would experience scarcity of almost every commodity. Even water.(which today also is scarce)

4- We would live without power for days or months.

5- PM would have come on national TV to explain why scarcity, high prices, loot is on and how government is hopelessly helpless etc.etc.

6- Agri Minister Sharad Pawar would have said, I can't do anything to supply enough food and control prices. I am really not responsible.( busy with World cup)

7- Home Minister Chidambaram would have given press conference and said, I can't do much about the looting going on as our police force is over worked and have no required facilities to deal with such a national calamity. (I am doing my best)

8- Municipal Commissioner would have placed the blame on the citizens by saying, it is the people who are responsible for such a flooding of water, drains and gutters. Sheela Dixit would have said, when Tsunami was coming what was our civil society doing? ( Is it really our responsibility ?)

9- PM, FM, HM would have said Soniyaji has asked us to do something to save aam aadmi and so we have now created "Force 10" to counter next Tsunami.

10- The Indian media would go into 24 X7 drive to increase TRP by showing all Tsunami related scams and how media is active in reporting how people died, stories of loved ones lost, followed by all the aimless debates. 

In short... the message in the national media would have been,  government is helpless and can't do much about this total devastation, scarcity of food, water, and the loot going on.

Again the new era of new Scams would begin with financial aids. Millions of Rupees given as financial aid by many financial institutes would be pocketed by politicians, bureaucrats , elected members, administrators, and by many who would get contracts to re-build the country.

The poor people would stay for years in shelters, camps and shacks. They would not get a single penny. All  politicians would come to meet homeless people who have lost everything in life, the loved ones, belongings, roof over head and life time savings.

There will be  special photo shoots for the media. Some politicians will be offering these homeless,  blankets, sarees, food packets. The Vote Bank politics will start raising it's ugly head. 

Dear citizens...It is a wake up call for all Indians.  

26th July 2005, Mumbai was under water because of heavy showers and our administration was not prepared for such a natural calamity. Today, it is still not prepared.

26 Nov, when ten terrorists attacked Mumbai, and many were taken as hostages, our government was not prepared to deal with 10 terrorists who took hundreds of lives of innocent people. RR Patil was the then Home Minister of state and still is. Shivraj Patil was Home Minister at the center who changed his safari suit three times for press meets when innocent people were being killed by Ajmel Kasab and his gang.( what kind of shameless leaders do we choose?) 

What kind of a society are we? Do we have conscience? 

We elect people who loot us. We elect people who cheat on us. We elect people who can not provide us security but enjoy "Z" security for themselves? 

Our so called clean PM who is leading this nation doesn't know what is happening under his nose. CWG, 2G, CVC, Adarsh, Hasan Ali, Defence scams. Scams after scams are exposed by the active media and not by our intelligence agencies.  

What is our Home Ministry doing? Why is it not proactive?  

It is time, we people who elect these politicians to govern our country should demand that these elected members be legally, constitutionally made accountable and answerable to people. 

Today, they are not. And that is why they enjoy the powers knowing fully well once elected, you can't sack them.  
We need to change our political system which will work for people, and empower people to take punishable action against those who are dishonest in public life.

Or the loot will go on and criminals will rule. Our Democracy will have no meaning.

Look what our politicians have done in the last 60 years ...

Bitter Truth !  About Congress Government.


If you cross the " The North Korean " border illegally, you get 12 years hard labour in an isolated prison

If you cross the " Iranian " border illegally, you get detained indefinitely .

If you cross the " Afghan " border illegally, you get shot

If you cross the " Saudi Arabian " border illegally, you get  jailed

If you cross the " Chinese " border illegally, you get  kidnapped and may be never heard of - again .

If you cross the " Venezuelan " border illegally, you get branded as a spy and your fate sealed.

If you cross the " Cuban " border illegally, you get thrown into a political prison to rot.

If you cross the " British " border illegally, you get  arrested, prosecuted, sent to prison and be deported after serving your sentence.

Now ..... if you were to cross the " Indian " border illegally, you get .....

1. A ration card

2. A passport ( even more than one - if you please ! )
3. A driver's license


4. A voter identity card

5. Credit cards

6. A Haj subsidy

7. Job reservation

8. Special privileges for minorities

9. Government housing on subsidized rent

10. Loan to buy a house

11. Free education

12. Free health care 


13. A lobbyist in New Delhi , with a bunch of media morons and a bigger bunch of human rights activists promoting your " cause "

14. The right to talk about secularism, which you have not heard about in your own country !

15. And of-course ..... voting rights to elect corrupt politicians who will promote your community for their selfish interest in securing your votes !!! 

16. and right to fight election for MLA  or MP

Hats off to the .....

A. Corrupt and communal Indian politicians

B. The inefficient and corrupt Indian police force

C. The silly pseudo-secularists in India , who promote traitors staying here

D. The amazingly lenient Indian courts and legal system.
That's why people like Afzal Guru are still alive, same will happen with Kasab.

E. WE self centered Indian citizens, who are not bothered about the dangers to our own country.

F. The illogically brainless human-rights activists, who think that terrorists deserve to be dealt with by archaic laws meant for an era, when human beings were human beings.

Yesterday, High Court confirmed the judgment to HANG Ajmal Kasab.

Ajmal Kasab is a State Guest being fed with Biryani, and anything he wants at our cost. It remains to be seen how long it will take for this government to hang him.  But till then our money will be spent in crores to protect him when our BPL families are struggling to earn one time roti.

Again the Human rights group will come forward to teach us human values and human rights. The fake pseudo secularists in India will come forward to play their vote bank politics.

People like Antuley, Digvijay Singh will start playing their dirty political games to confuse commoners by asking for further investigation on 26/11 to find out, was it RSS,? Who killed Karkare, Salaskar ? These Beshram politicians to get the political millage out of 26/11 and to please their masters will shamelessly say this in front of national tv channels. 

This shameless attitudes by politicians must stop taking aam admi for granted.

Enough is enough .
