Our priorities and opinions seem to be on a permanent skew. How else do we explain the happenings narrated below?
(a) An illiterate MP.
Pandula Ravindra Babu of the Telugu Desam party carries match boxes on flights and he
justifies his actions. He has now come out with the most outrageous statement on the armed
forces, which of course shows his mean mentality, stunted growth and an overall lack of
fundamental etiquette!
The worthy states that those who opt for the armed forces do so for the following reasons:-
(a) Subsidised alcohol and
(b) Free rations.
He needs to apologise for his remarks, forthwith and must be sent on the Line of Control
between India and Pakistan to understand and have the feel of what the Indian Army is all
about. Similar attachments with the IN and the IAF, without VVIP hospitality, must be followed
without delay.
(b) A visit that went off rather quietly.
Zhang Dejiang, Chairman of the National People's Congress(NPC) - China's legislature - and
the third most powerful person (One of the 7 that rules the country) was on a visit to India for
four days and the visit had gone mostly unreported by the Indian press that was busy with the
affairs of Lalit Modi and gang!
- On 15 Jun, the PMO had reported through the Press Information Bureau that he'd called
on the PM that day.
- The MEA was conspicuously silent.
- He'd come under the joint invitation of the Vice President and the Speaker of the Lok Sabha.
- During his stay, he'd also paid a visit to Bombay.
- He'd also met the Rashtrapati.
He endorsed the PM's view that the 21st century is the Asian century and the future of the
continent will be decided by the collective leadership provided by India and China.
The visit being completely ignored by the Indian media doesn't make sense, with the juicy
elements of 'Lalit Modi and his political friends' - from the ruling party as well as the opposition -
camaraderie trickling down almost on a daily basis, notwithstanding! While the press must be
the watchdog for the government's misdemeanours, it must also highlight the good points....
that's very much a part of their duty. Or is it that the press has gone anti-government for not axing
the ones whom they've painted red?
Tailpiece.
The days have been wet all through and frequent power breakdowns have become the order of
the day. And on top of that, our landline has also gone dead!
