We're yet again being exposed to the same old pantomime that we're all so familiar with. At first, Raja and Kalmadi showed defiance at the charges that sprung up against them, with a remarkable regularity, after which they desperately clung on to their offices till they're given the boot and eventually, ended up in Tihar.
Their desperate measures to get out of jail seem to be fodder for the press. Raja's implication that the PM knew all about what he was doing as the Minister for Telecom is a slap on the latter's earlier statement that he could not oust him, despite numerous charges that were emerging, on account of 'coalition dharma'. And Kalmadi has taken refuge behind a medical report of his saying that he's suffering from dementia. Why was he, then, holding key positions in the national sports bodies? Desperation seems to be writ large in their actions.
And the Pakistani Gymnastics.
I was under the impression that the new Foreign Minister of Pakistan would carve a niche for herself by doing something different from her predecessors on her first visit to this country. But nothing ever changes and I seemed to have forgotten that she represents the same Pakistani establishment whose cornerstone is 'to conduct its foreign policy on vitriolic anti Indian propaganda'.
Her decision to meet the Kashmiri separatists is definitely a step that could have been avoided! What gives a bad taste to it is that she's fully aware of the negative impact that such an action creates in this country. But I suppose they care a damn!!
