AAP Kaun Ho ???

A young boy was tricked and thus forced into eating mouthful of green chilies; later the child to nullify effect of chilies, he hastily drank from a bottle, Labeled as lemonade, only to realize it was kerosene in it. Moral – All the available option are not the alternate or even solutions. Jaise “HAR CHAMAKTI CHEEZ SONA NAHI HOTI”. Similarly, The Indians who are desperately looking for escape route, to avoid brutal onslaught by lampooned central government, they latched on to India against Corruption, only to get further disillusioned and got further in confusion after attention seeker Kejri parted ways from the movement, to be a politician. Genuine concerns/doubts over Kejriwal’s intention and action started gaining momentum and weight, over a period of time, based on circumstantial evidence and proofs.

After parting ways with his Activism God Father, Anna Hazare, the #ShooteronScooter (Nickname of Kejriwal, by @Surnell from Twitter) tried various antics to withhold the attention of *any news* Hungry media, and also to keep his disillusioned folks in good humor. One such Nautanki was to recycle old info and label it as AAP exclusive expose against politician and demand, resignation / action. The key to any and all the allegation was, none of the allegation were ever followed up to its logical conclusion or even stared by filing FIR. the modus operandi, was to spew the allegation, gather the attention, and then scoot from the scene; the nautanki gained some momentum and was working well for Kejri- The Great, until few genuine concerns / allegation were levied on his own key team members, based on whom, AAP had claimed many expose.

However, not to be left behind, Kejriwal – The nautanki baaz, started his Gangam dance, to utilise this opportunity for further media mileage, and pretend self to be holier than thou, and thus started facade named – Internal Lokpal

  • On 19th October’ 2012, The Stunt King, Kejriwal – The GREAT (for his blind bhaktjans), just after parting ways with his God Father of activism, Anna Hazare; in attempt to garner further eye balls enacted another nautanki of ORDERING an Internal lokpal on his paplu joker trio, who are been alleged / accused of various wrongdoings and corruption. In the video, Nautanki brigadier clearly mentions that his association/organization/party would submit the complaint against Anjali Damania, Mayank Gandhi and Prashant Bhushan; also added that Kejri group will submit all the available proof with them. Also, Kejriwal himself decided timing of maximum 3 months for investigation, after consultation with the three judges. Important to note in the video is, Kejriwal ORDERED the inquiry, without conditions Kejriwal Announcing Internal Lokpal
  •  To ape the BOSS, we had Mayank Gandhi and also Anjali Damania, welcoming the probe on them, which was already ORDERED by their Ring Master. Damania n Gandhi welcomes Internal Lokpal

I am not getting into details on the allegations and credibility of the current joker bunch who would apply “Fair and Lovely” to think they are fairer and Holier than thou; But the larger issue is, commitment of this self-claimed righteous people. For those interested to know about the allegations, I have attached the link below the blog for reference

  • On 20th January’ 2013, a day after 3 months (time frame decided for internal lokpal investigation); Kejriwal had much hyped but
    mediocre flopped Google Hangout, where for first time, he presented newer version of internal lokpal. Kejriwal mentioned exclusion and inclusion of certain members and some decision taken by members and new lokpal instituted, thereby, central team will be investigated by National Internal Lokpal, and state members shall be investigated by state internal lokpal (yet to be constituted). Kejriwal Google Hangout (listen from 1.02 hours)

There comes change in stance over investigation on AAP members, by using technicalities, another important point, these changes were kept hidden from media, and were not told in same fanfare, the way announcement of internal lokpal was made, clear sign to misguide people who believed on Kejri’s word over internal lokpal.

  • On 9th March’ 2013, After nearly 80 days of Google Hangout; 5 months from ORDERING internal Lokpal and no sign of investigation report from internal lokpal against Gandhi / Bhushan and Damania (through state lokpal as per Kejriwals submission in Google Hangout); Kejriwal on Headlines today in one of the show mentioned, Anjali Damania, is not the executive member of the party and hence no inquiry against her is instituted, while it is important to note, on 19th October’ 2012, no such condition was discussed and further more on Google Hangout, it was mentioned by Kejriwal, if she joins state membership, she will be investigated. Kejriwal on RTH show of headlines Today (listen from 13 minute)
  • However, on 14th March’ 2013, the AAP member Mayank Gandhi on public platform, Facebook, candidly introduced Anjali Damania as Maharashtra Convernor, who was party to key decision of closing down of 1 AAP office in Mumbai. The same was also accepted by Anjali Damania, in the same post of Mayank Gandhi is Facebook. (viewers are requested to click on photo, to enlarge for better reading)

 

 

Also Anjali Damania corroborated

So Now, Few questions arise

  1. Did Kejriwal lie on Headlines today, that Anjali  Damania is not the member of AAP; but actually she is Maharashtra state  convenor of AAP?
  2. OR, Is Mayank Gandhi colluding with Anjali Damania in  Maharashtra state, without keeping Kejriwal in the loop on who is Maharashtra
    convenor and taking arbitrary decisions?
  3. If indeed, Anjali Damania is a volunteer, how can she  be Maharashtra Convenor; and how can a volunteer be party to such an important
    decision?
  4. Why was Kejriwal silent all this while on the changes  in internal lokpal, which he himself had ORDERED; important thing, he himself
    took decision of internal lokpal and self-decided 3 months’ time; also made  public announcement through news channel; however when changes were made, quietly  changed the website, but no mention to TV news, on whom his activism is based on?

I tried to get an reply from AAP also, I emailed them  my queries but it has been almost three days, but have not received even  acknowledgement of the receipt of the mail, nor any intent to reply in future.

 

The new information came in April, when Maharashtra Secy of AAP, Mrs. Preeti Sharma Menon categorically has stated, that Ms. Anjali Damania was not the Maharashtra Convenor until RTH episode of Arvind Kejriwal, where he labeled Damania as mere volunteer, and had also said, if she would be member, she will be investigated (refer the video of RTH program shared earlier)

So further questions arise, before that the statement of Ms. Menon seems to be hugely misleading, however with lack of alternate information as of now, we take it at face value with bucket full of salt. for convenience sake lets say Anjali Damania was included on 14th March, the day when Mayank Gandhi declared Anjali Damania as Maharashtra state Convenor

1. AAP raised hue n cry over inclusion of Khushwaha in BJP  (subsequently suspended, pending inquiry) during UP election under the premise that inclusion of dubious person in BJP is akin to support to corruption, even when there was no judgement, mere allegation, n investigation// also disregarding the fact, BJP suspended Khushwaha on corruption charges and gave no decision making portfolio to Khushwaha; yet for AAP, the decision of BJP was corrup

But AAP conveniently included Anjali Damania, and not only that, she was given important position as State Convenor, which has power of decisions over state matter of the political party AAP, so why this hypocrisy, where despite suspension of Khushwaha, BJP is corrupt on allegation // But AAP inducts alleged corrupt Anjali Damania and also gives her decision power and important post of state convenor.

Also, Mayank Gandhi is National Executive member, despite alleged charges and pending inquiry (ordered by his own BOSS); while BJP not only suspended Khushwaha from membership, moment he joined BJP, till the time he cleared his name from corruption; importantly BJP didnt give any plum post or election ticket // and here the messiah of anti corruption (as AAP claim and pretend), despite they own orders inquiry on alleged corruption charges, Mayank Gandhi is sitting on plum post // so whom sould we taken lessons of anti corruption … thats we need to decide

2. Arvind Kejriwal had ORDERED inquiry on Damania, later on he said only members of AAP will be investigated; so has the investigation on Anjali Damania been initiated, since the inclusion of Anjali Damania as Maharashtra State Convenor? if Not Why and do they have intention do start investigation; important to note, this is not what we are demanding, but we are just following up on Decision taken by Arvind kejriwal

3. When questions are been asked, spokeperson insinuates and labels the question as with party agenda instead of replying. As how does the answer changes of AAP to particular question, if the question is from INDIAN or INDIAN who is from other political party? I fail to understand this attitude

 

THE KEY THING TO NOTE IS KEJRIWAL ANNOUNCED INTERNAL LOKPAL FOR HIS PARTY (IN SUO MOTO MANNER), IT WAS NOT SUGGESTED / DEMANDED BY OTHERS, HE MADE HIS OWN SUBMISSION, SO TO RAISE THE BOOGEY OF OTHERS NOT COMPLAINING IS HOGGWASH TO MISLEAD PEOPLE, AFTER ALL WHILE ORDERING THE INTERNAL LOKPAL, KEJRIWAL SAID HE WILL PASS ON THE PROOF TO JUDGES, WHICH PROOF HE WAS TALKING ABOUT, THEN

With the above facts, the question arises on intent of  Kejriwals antics, and also his honesty, integrity, transparency and credibility.  I would again urge AAP and Kejriwal in particular to clear the confusion over  changing stance of AAP on Anjali Damania, is it because that AAP, erstwhile  faction of IAC lapped up on Damania’s unsubstantiated claims against a  particular political figure just to retain eyeballs of public on them, Question stays, until Kejriwal answers this fellow  INDIAN.

 

I hope AAP people without innuendos, attempts to answer the questions asked in this blog

Allegation against Prashant Bhushan.

http://dailypostindia.com/news/42570-himachal-to-probe-violation-by-prashant-bhushan-in-land-purchase.html

As author, we dont know whether claims in the allegation are true or not, that only investigation will prove // we only say, since there is smoke, it is on to AAP (holier than thou) to clear the air, it is immaterial whether we believe trio is corrupt or not, and we have in-principle stated, the above as allegation ONLY, without passing any kind of judgement. And expect since AAP claims to be most honest and transparent who have instituted internal lokpal, should do investigation, while statutory investigation should also be undertaken by the government agencies

Hoity-Toity Journalist posing to be Holier than Thou

Today, the shortest way to claim the fame (though highly undeserved) in the current Indian scenario is to blame and abuse BJP state government of Gujarat by raising issue of 2002 riots and ignoring world class development there. None of the leftist follower or Media journalists, and not even few self claimed liberals have been left untouched from this self destructive addiction. The nearest analogy, which can relate to this urge for fame (also known as ASS – Attention Seeking Syndrome) is that of few wannabe Hindi Cinema actress and female models, who would announce their act of stripping at “speed of drop of Hat” for even most inconsequential events, just to claim attention and publicity. Similarly these leftist and few self claimed liberals are ever so desperate to garner cheap publicity by act of stripping naked to self and expose their filthy mindset under garb of pretentious secular / liberal image, ONLY to abuse and malign Mr. Narendra Modi (A chief minister of Gujarat State in India), who has attracted laurels for his governments work and achievements, not only in domestic circle among voters but even at international arena.

 Until 5th July’ 2012, any remote interjection by right wing sympathizer to compare 2002 riots to ghastly state sponsored pogrom of 1984, was considered distasteful and taboo, to such an extent that a journalist or anchor would squirt and scream on the speaker (Complete agreement, that no two riots can be / should be compared).

However, post 6th July, the news started floating about the ghastly violence in state of Asom, where the clash is between illegal immigrants from Bangladesh and local inhabitant Indian Assamese. The Main Stream Media first tried to block the news, but upon meeting the failure due to timely expose by Alternate media, the section of media and few journalist started assisting Asom State government and Central government (both CONGRESS), to downplay the incident as routine minor clash, then named it as communal clash, safely evading the acknowledgement of clash between Indians and foreigners on Indian land.

The media which is fourth pillar of democracy, has a very important role in current stage to assist Indian society which is trying hard to come out of the deep mess where India finds itself into, courtesy central government of last 8 years. But it is deeply disturbing to see the few journalists, who claims and also poses to be liberal, gets into these cheap activities of giving callous remark and then publicly defending it, merely for their personal vendetta or ideological compulsion and which are devoid of any truth or not even remotely close to facts. These pathetic breed doesn’t even take a nano second to change the stand or belief, when it is convenient for them to attack someone whom they dislike. The media which has to act on foresight and also on experience, to provide corrects news and information to the society, has often given priority to personal bias which takes over the professional ethics of this sect of self-claimed liberal journalists.

The same breed of journalist and political analyst along with self claimed experts, who considered it is unfortunate to compare the two riots (2002 Gujarat riots v/s 1984 state sponsored pogrom), are ever so eager to compare Asom violence with Gujarat riots. While the facade of not equating two riots earlier and now the eagerness to compare the riots by leftist and section of media, has common agenda which is to save CONGRESS from getting exposed for its role in riots.

After few acclaimed journalist who are pretty well known for their biased stance which can be generally categorized as anti-Indian, there is entry of hoity-toity Madhu Trehan, a self-claimed liberal (with questionable authenticity of claim) in the frame. The organization of Ms. Trehan, News Laundry, which claims sabki dhulai, and also to be unbiased to all, makes a very callous comment on Social-Media platform “Twitter” of comparing two riots – Asom and Gujarat. Not surprisingly, when active twitteraties raised the objection, Ms. Trehan scuttled the issue by claiming of airing her views on 1984, confused on no-relation? Don’t be, a normal technique applied by self claimed liberals to run away from the logical debates and to avoid acknowledgement of goof up.

The writer also raised few questions, like

  1. If comparing 2002 riots with 1984 is distasteful (agreed) then how come comparison between Assam violence and Gujarat riots is not allowed by you under your organization’s handle but also defended by you in your personal capacity?
  2. Do you or your organization have any proof to back up the underline comments that victims of riots in Gujarat were left helpless to suffer by then state government? || kindly provide proof and not concocted statement from the cottage industry that has vested interest to malign Narendra Modi.
  3. Does the riot in Gujarat takes away right from BJP to raise issue of Asom victims? In that case, do you profess, that you believe a alleged person or organization can’t raise up issue of national importance, which falls in line of similar allegation?
    1. Do you hold this same belief even for your professional fraternity?

    Initially, I was told to wait, as pompous madam is busy is some meeting, after which she will answer, as said by her in her previous tweet, which is been uploaded below.

However, later on What I received was insinuation and as expected Ms. Trehan felt it is below her hollow status to reply with underlying attempt to label me as a troller (offensive word) under garb of suggesting #BashMadhuSlugFest

when the issue was pursued she again tried to dodge the question by non related answers and narrating some shloka from Upanishada, not leaving the opportunity to expose her pompous and arrogant behavior in the reply.

However, not to be left out or demoralized by hoity-toity act of Ms. Trehan, I went on to do my own research, to find if there is some underlying truth in the pathetically ridiculous comment supported by Ms. Trehan. What I found was astonishing, the state government of Gujarat under leadership of newly elected Chief minister at that time provided all the possible and necessary help to the victims, which were also acknowledged by current Central government, Congress, which considers Modi to be their biggest rival and leaves no opportunity to malign Modi, at times even by using lies and false propaganda.

Minister of State – Home Affairs, Sriprakash Jaiswal in 2005 on the floor of parliament while responding in relation to role of state government of Gujarat in relief management of victims of 2002 riots, said relief was also extended by the state government to the victims of the riots under the heads of cash doles and assistance for household kits, foodgrains to Below Poverty Line (BPL) families in affected areas, housing assistance, rebuilding earning assets, rehabilitation of small business, assistance to indusries/shop and hotel and so on. The state government, he said has informed that a total of Rs 204.62 crore has been incurred by it towards relief and rehabilitation measures

http://www.expressindia.com/news/fullstory.php?newsid=46538

The then President of India Dr. APJ Kalam, also praised the work done at relief camp under leadership of Mr. Modi. There were “complimentary observations” made by the then President, A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, on the Modi government’s “enthusiastic” cooperation to him when he travelled to Gujarat for a firsthand assessment of the post-riot situation in 2002, which were ignored by media. As quoted Dr. Kalam in his books – “Turning Points”. he said, ““Many apprehensions were expressed, among them that my visit might be boycotted by the Chief Minister, that I would receive a cold reception and that there would be agitations from many sides. But, to my great surprise when I landed at Gandhinagar, not only the Chief Minister, but his whole Cabinet colleagues and a large number of legislative members and administrators including the public were present at the airport. I visited twelve areas — three relief camps and nine riot-hit locations where losses were high. Narendra Modi, the Chief Minister, was with me throughout the visit. In one way, this helped me, wherever I went, the type of petitions and complaints and as he was with me I was able to suggest to him that actions be taken as quickly as possible.”

http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/article3617184.ece?css=print

The then state government of Gujarat under leadership of Mr. Modi, not only did the exemplary work in relief management, but was also active and proactive in curbing the riots. Not only did the Gujarat Government do all this, the police also arrested 35,552 people as of 28 April 2002, out of which 27,901 were Hindus. Around 20,000 people were arrested as a preventive measure. No Islamic country (or our own country in Kashmir in 1990) or other mass murderers like Saddam Hussain, Hitler ever carried out preventive arrests to save the victims. And already nearly 200 people have been convicted for rioting- the highest ever in Gujarat.

http://www.ibtl.in/column/1252/what-did-the-modi-government-do-for-riot-victims

While, I am pretty confident that neither Ms. Trehan nor News Laundry had any proof except their delusion and presumption against BJP or Narendra Modi while writing and defending that obnoxious comment, after this write up, they might well burn midnight oil to dig out some concocted statements mentioned here and there as statements of victims to prove their point is right, that is if they chose to reply, by not acting in the natural way of being supercilious. But let me most humbly submit, that no one is claiming that all the victims would have been satisfied, there may be few genuine aberrations, or possibility of puppet created by cottage industry just like of prime witness in best Bakery case was created by Teesta Setalwad, (Chairman of Cottage Industry).

In all,  the fact remains the same, that no two riots can ever be compared, what can be compared among riot is – A.) The relief management between two riots, as none of the riots can be preemptively stopped, by any government, but what can be restrained, is fueling of riots and subsequently, providing relief to victims and B.)  The way riot was restrained from being fueled. In case of 1984 state sponsored pogrom and 2002 Gujarat riots and based upon the above criteria, Gujarat government showed exemplary management, unlike the then Central and Delhi state government of 1984, which not only is convincingly alleged to have sponsored the pogrom but also delayed the relief activities to victims exposing their insensitive nature of CONGRESS.

While 2002 riots provided cottage industry of riots in Gujarat, which was run by few so called humanitarians, who can be labeled nothing less than terrorists, they exploited pain of victims to further the cause of their political masters; While the 2012 Asom riots, have given rise to opportunist in the likes of Mr. A. Owaisi, dripped in communalism who are exploiting riots to further their divisive policy based on religion. Unfortunately such Member of Parliament, who threatens India as a whole of radicalization, is the political ally of Central Government, CONGRESS. And not to be surprised, the section of media is either silent or okay with such utterance of communal rabid canine, under the garb of being Member of Parliament. Media will do a huge service is exposing such mindset among ruling class and thereby make an attempt to save India from division on communal lines. I request to that particular section of media to shed their personal vendetta and expose such cannine, even he happens to be ally of political party, whom you like for reasons, unknown.

Now coming back to Asom violence and role of government, the Congress has still neither been able to acknowledge the real problem of Asom riots, i.e. illegal immigrants; nor able to stop their own political ally Member of Parliament Mr. A. Owaisi from communalizing the riots and threatening nation. Thus it baffles me the ignorance of Madhu in haste to compare the riots, even if she claims she was comparing relief management (comparison is acceptable) as the comparison is nothing but comparing chalk and cheese and that at cost of ignoring threats to national security.

At the End, I can only suggest to arrogant Ms. Trehan that while as a citizen ofFree and Democratic India, she has all the right to hate someone or even taunt, no one can encroach her right, not even me. But it is common courtesy and journalistic ethics to support her claim or statement with relevant proof and that too in time, not that after objection is raised, an assistant is made to do the research in futile attempt to save already auctioned credible image as unbiased journalist.

Thank You
