Falsehoods being tossed around.

Five state Assembly elections are to take place over the next three weeks. Political parties are trying all the tricks of the trade to gain an upper hand. Towards this end, a lot many falsehoods are being spread around and those of us who keep our ears on the ground, to the details of news, feel aghast.

Falsehood No.1

Every idiot, now, wants a caste census. The political parties of every hue are demanding one and promises to do it in the event of them coming to power. What a shame? Those who advocate it are the least bothered

about the well being of the nation - what they don't say is that it will take the country back, bringing about mistrust and divisions among the people.

One has still not forgotten what that idiot, VP Singh, had done by trying to force the Mandal Commission upon us. By doing so, he wanted to have an assured vote bank so as to cling on to power and we all know as to what happened to him - his tenure as the PM was short lived. 

Falsehood No.2

Israel has been branded the aggressor in the ongoing fight against the terror outfit, Hamas. This terror outfit converts truth to lies and bandies their lies to truths. The Israelis have brought them out through some deft moves otherwise, the beasts were showing the bombardment of the hospital in Gaza as Israel's mistake when they had done it themselves.

Israel has rightly said that its military offensive will end only after the last Hamas terrorist is brought to book and after all the Israeli prisoners are returned.

Falsehood No.3

The so-called secular(?) political parties of the INDI alliance have been organising street protests, harping on Palestine being attacked by Israel without naming the Hamas. How do these guys get to be taught about this deadly terror network?

The sad part is that the paid media is spreading these falsehoods unashamedly.

My take

I appeal to all well meaning people not to get carried away by these falsehoods.

Tailpiece.

Got up at a trifle before 6, the chores and was ready by 9.

We'd carried out the 'pujayeduppu' by reading the Navagraha sthothram, Ramayanam and the Mahabhagavatham.

Met Dr. Rani Menon who said that my right eye was healing perfectly and has fixed 30 Oct as the date on which my left eye will undergo surgery for cataract. .
