'Ae dil hai mushkil'. What trash is this?


The CM of Maharashtra has brokered a truce among the concerned parties viz. Karan Johar, the film maker, Raj Thackeray of the MNS and Mukesh Bhatt of Bollywood's Producers' Guild and consequently, the movie, 'Ae dil hai mushkil' will be released on the due date with three riders for Karan Johar viz.:-

     (a) Will contribute Rs.5 crores to the Army Welfare Fund.
     (b) Along with the other producers will not sign Pakistani artistes from now on.
     (c) A slide, offering tributes to the Indian soldiers killed in the recent Uri terror attacks, will be
          screened prior to the commencement of the movie

The MNS, under that rogue, Raj Thackeray, has a habit of inciting passions by raising silly issues on the 'Maratha - son of the soil' theme to score political brownie points. The powers that be and the people of India have been watching his antics rather helplessly and have let him get away with murder every time. His latest buffoonery is on the aspect of Pakistani actors and actresses acting in Bollywood which has been misrepresented. I shall highlight on the two important flaws in this game that he has played out seemingly, to his advantage, as of now.
   
Let's rewind on the sequence of events resulting in the impasse:-

     (a) Pakistani actor, Fawad Khan, is playing an important role in the movie.
     (b) The whole country was incensed when none of these guys had voiced their opinions against
           the dastardly Uri terror attacks where 19 Indian soldiers had attained martyrdom on the first
           day.

The fact is that these guys get fame and wealth, in fact, get 'fattened' by Indian ventures but feel that they've nothing to say when the country is adversely affected by terrorism initiated from their country. If they're scared of the repercussions back home, then my advice to each one of them would be to dump their dreams of making it big out here, at our expense! Period.

And, reiterating it for the umpteenth time, "We are not against Pakistani artistes coming to Bollywood or for that matter in any field, what have you. But you need to voice your opinions and pass it on to your army - as the whole world knows as to who's calling the shots out there - to stop its 'India' obsession, get back to the barracks and work towards bringing about a truly democratic government to provide effective governance for all round development!" 

And to Raj Thackeray, I being an ex-serviceman myself, have this to say, "The defence forces do not want the Rs.5 crore that you've asked Karan Johar to contribute towards the Army Welfare Fund because it's 'extortion money' and we don't take such putrid incentives. It angers me that you consider the armed forces so cheap! Stop your shenanigans, forthwith, under the pretext of patriotism".


Tailpiece.

If you feel strongly for the armed forces, work with the central government towards removing the anomalies of the 7th central pay commission and the One Rank One Pension scheme. If you can't, just keep off and don't politicise the armed forces!
