FORUM

It's a shame

Molestation of NRI girls who were on their way to the hotel after coming out from J.W. Marriot hotel at Juhu Mumbai on early hours of 1st Jan 2008 by ruffians now under police custody is bound to make everyone hang his head in shame. Equally shameful was the initial reaction of Police Commissioner of Mumbai who blamed media for blowing up the incident and 'itching to happen something like this'. No wonder atleast someone 'intelligent' from among the young ruffians would manage to become Police Commissioner in due time. Another shocking incident pertained to arrest of Tukaram Bansode in Pune on 31st Dec 07 for having sat on hunger strike to demand information on various projects under disability sector under RTI Act from Disability Commissioner RK Gaikwad . He was made to spend 31st Dec.2007 in police lock up and was released after paying fine of Rs 3000 in the new year. As per the news item in Indian Express of 3rd Jan. 2008 , Bansode was tricked into meeting Disability Commissioner by some officials of Social Justice Department of Maharashtra Government and when he went to meet he was stopped and Disability Commissioner called police who dutifully arrested him and the same Maharashtra police remained mute spectators when helpless ladies were being molested on early hours of 1st Jan. 2008 and peacefully dispersed the ruffians after they had done whatever they wanted to do to enjoy new year celebrations.

Honest Antony has to decide why an honest General is being shunted???
For his honesty why is this General being 'hunted'????

This General was able to bring so many scams to light!!!
Antony Ji honest for the honest should fight!!

Antony needs to step in and stop this General from being made to pay for his honesty!
If not then it would be a victory of dishonesty!!!

Centre's 'pay to celebrate' sounds really funny!!
To celebrate National Holidays Centre is giving Madrasas money!!!

This shows that Centre accepts that there is a India disconnect!!!
And is trying money as a 'coupling' to connect!!!

The Centre should have actually advised Madrasas to take care!!!
Warned Madrasas to celebrate National Holidays or grants to Madrasas Centre would pare!!!

All these years Government via fuel has milked us by way of taxes!!!
When it comes to taxes on fuel compared to other Countries India maxes!!!

To give India the competitive edge fuel prices should be kept in check!!
So Deora and PC need to sit and take a reality check!!!

And if fuel prices are increased inflation it'll fuel!!!
So its time Government did some out the box thinking on fuel!!!

On the International fuel front nothing has changed so why this spurt!!!!
Speculation is causing prices to rise and causing economies to hurt!!!!

Take out the speculation and Oil price will fall to $ 50 for Brent Crude!!!
So its speculation that's causing on the Oil prices front a 'worldwide brood'!!

Seems Congress has decided to raise an anti BSP issue everyday!!!
'Law and order and lack of governance' are the issues of the day!!!

Maya has to rebut Congress's daily tirade!!!
So maybe to rebut a Department of Rebuttals will be made!!!

By the time the General elections come Congress would have exhausted ammunition!!
And will be in a breathless condition!!!

Breathless reminds me that Sonia's stay in hospital has been extended!!
As the problem for the breathlessness is being tended!!

For Sonia's breathlessness Shiela Dixit's Sarkaar is being blamed!!!
Detractors say that Pollution by Delhi Sarkaar has not been tamed!!!

And it is this pollution that has caused Madam Ji's breathing woes!!!
This is the argument being put forward by Shiela's political foes!!!

Actually Madam's problem seems to have aggravated by her anti Modi tirade!!!
When in one breath the merchant of death statement she made!!

Then she went to Himachal and seems she did not respect the cold!!!
And with the cold tried to be bold!!!

Anyway now she's recuperating and resting under the loving care of her Mummy!!!
Mummy is ensuring that in treatment there is no kammi!!!

Surprising Congressmen are not going mad trying to show their worry for Madam Ji!!
Outside the Hospital very few Congressmen you get to see!!

Her detractors are saying that when Big B was hospitalized Public went berserk!!!!
The placid response to Sonia's hospitalization karr rahi hai Sonia ki cutlery ko irk!!

When she returns home the celebrations outside her home will be unmatched!!!
This plan at present is being hatched!!!


Rumors abound because of her extended hospital stay!!!
Now lets see tomorrow what the Congress Spokesman will have to say???

Here's wishing her God speed!!!!
And to the Doctor's advice she should pay heed!!!

Either Buckoner wants to make Australia his home or his eye sight is not the same!!!
And the Third Umpire shares Buckoner's shame!!!

Confucius says ......Aussies have 13 players in their Team!!!!
By the decisions of Buckoner and Third Umpire aise hi kartha hai seem!!
