Quote:Anna Hazare's self-description is he is a Gandhian. This means he, like Thakkar Bapa, Vinoba Bhave should have lived among the people in a small commune and transformed their life. Such a man was dragged to Delhi by Sonia Gandhi and her NGO minions only to neutralise Baba Ramdev's corruption crusade.
Baba ramdev himself, a man with formidable influence and following was dragged into a issue which was not his domain and for which he had no competence.
Baba ramdev was pulled by the strings by people standing in the shadows and others controlling the movement from Chennai over the cell-phone.
Anna Hazare's shadow puppet masters were more villainous. They didnt want just national attention on corruption, like Baba Ramdev and his puppet masters wanted, but wanted to bring the Indian Parliament to its knees, push the Prime Minister into a corner and eventually force the party to seek his resignation.
The villains underestimated the intelligence of the Hindu politician and their towering ambition to become some kind of supra watch dog body which will monitor our members of parliament, our government, our judges, was blown to smithereens today by parliament.
I am gpoing to say it - a party which grovels before their imported president, stands in frozen silence as she walks past disdain oozing from everyu pore, has remained strangely inactive and unmoved by the news that she is critically ill. No oprayers, no wishes, no candle-light vigils asking allah, jesus and ishwar to protect her, no we love you sonia posters, nothing. I find this extremely suspicious. The party is not reacting at all. And her two children are here - one making an asinine speech in parliament from a written text and the other running anxiously into parliament to hear him speak (or something lese?) Do doting family members of MPs routinely come rushing into parliament to hear their husbands sons and daughters make their speech?
Rahul Gandhi breezed into parliament yesterday during zero hour pulled out a sheaf of papers from which he read out his address to the nation and then breezed out. Rahul Gandhi was absent the whole day today when the house assembled for a specioal session to discuss an important issue and not even a squeak from any of our media channels about his absence?
The ambition to be a permanent member of this supra watch dog, despotic body was almost certainly Kejriwal's idea - short cut to enormous power thru the NGO route. Kejriwal's ford foundation cionnection is now established. The scams tumbling out of the Congress cupboard was excellent opportunity to implement the script and he succeeded initially.
Kiran Bedi's 24 hour stand up comedian act notwithstanding, ther group around Hazare and Hazare himself began to talk aboiut compelling parliament to submit to their tyranny - my Bill and no other Bill, pass it now or else.
I met a group of 300 students with national flag in hand, faces painted in tricolour sitting in front of the Rajaji Bhavan housing central government offices in Besant Nagar where I live. Driving down to feed street dogs, i was horrified to see them all sitting in dharna. Bringing my car to a screeching halt, I got down and asked the idiots gathered there (they were all students from some christian engineering college) how many of them had read the Jan Lokpal Bill drafted by team Anna?
Only two put up their hands! Ia sked them why in hell were they sitting there, what were they supporting and was it an informed decision?
I could have saved my breath. One ponytail told me that he was there to protest corruption. That at least was unpretentious and genuine. and that would have been true of many of them there.
Kejriwal and co. cynically exploited the anger of ordinary people against corruption to futher their towering ambition to rule the country from the shadows.
Parliament gave them all a well-deserved set down. parliament gave Anna Hazare and Co. nothing because they deserved nothing. A resolution spelling out the sense of the house is not worth the paper it is written on and we all know that. To pretend that this is a win for x and humble pie for y, or win win for both is so much bullshit.
The Indian Parliament confronted these anarchist, villainous forces firmly and with intelligence.
Sushma Swaraj was brilliant today. She-
Spelt out her party's position with cogent arguments in support of 2 out of 3 Anna Hazare's demands.
Ripped Rahul Gandhi's presumptuous and colonial attitude down the middle
While expressing full support for the prime Minister, she tore the Congress party apart and by treating rahul gandhi with sternenss she put paid to any ambition he and his mother may have nurtured to plonk him on the throne.
Bottomline - Anna Hazare was treated with respect but Kejriwal and Co. were shown the door. They got nothing and Justice Santhosh Hegde alone had the courage to admit they had lost.
Now rajdeep sardesai should start seeing the truth instead of looking for face savers for anna hazare. Anna Hazare like Baba ramdebv has only himself to blame for allowing himself to be used by manipulators. RR
