Aaj Ki Aawaz

Congress’s ‘bhonpu’ Tiwari says ‘ Rathod is mentally sick or bimaar’!!!!
And what about Hooda joh nikaal raha hai Media ke sath apni khaar (animosity)!!
 
Hooda wants to show that Media is not always right and its Media activism goes for overkill!
Hopes that he’ll be able to get Manu Sharma out still!!
 
Hope you all recall Hooda’s inability to reign in Khaaps!!!!
Khaaps against women committ unforgivable paaps (sins)!!!
 
Problem is that for Hooda and his kind women are dispensable!!!
Their's is a man's World and man ko ultimate his lot karte hai label!!!
 
Insiders say he describes what Rathod did as ‘ just chedh khaani’!!!!
They say as per Hooda ‘chedh khaani’ does not cause any haani!!!
 
So in that case what ‘his bhaanja’ Manu Sharma did was just demand sharaab!!
And when a Lady refused his demand ‘maatha chorre ka ho gaya kharaab’!!!
 
His lot will say ‘Arre bhai garam khoon hai maar di goli’!!!!!
And add why is the Media crying for a girl who was wearing a revealing choli????
 
This is how Hooda and his lot think!!
And I’m sure many will join me is saying ‘ Hooda your attitude sure does stink’!!!
 
Amar Singh says ‘Mulayam’s attitude ne kiya hai mujh ko hurt’!!!!
And the allegations on his blog were a result of Amar losing his shirt!!!
 
Fact is Mulayam’s son had to take over someday!!!
And ‘with Amar around this was not possible’ insiders say!!!
 
Many say Amar has pulled SP away from its Samaajwaad roots!!!
Like I said made a Party which wore ‘chapalls’ switchover to high heeled boots!!!
 
With such ‘footwear’ it’s not possible to walk on the Samaajwaad path!!!
And via Kalyan Singh Amar made SP lose its ‘minority majority’ saath!!
 
Yes insiders say Amar’s been handling the ‘number 2 money’!
And now this is a major cause of worry for Mulayam and his Sonny!!!
 
Because Amar could just say ‘ keeper is the keeper’!!!
And the one who trusted me with this moolah is the weeper!!!
 
Though of course officially Amar was not the Treasurer but all know he handled SP’s paisa!
And on his financial ‘wizardry’  Mulayam had in the past commented ‘ koi nahi Amar jaisa’!
 
Its alleged Amar’s got a maze of ‘laundries’ that work day and night!!
Slogan of the Laundries is ‘we clean and make black into white’!!!
 
Anyway in UP seems Maya’s kite is flying high and SP’s lost its ‘kite and maanja’!!!
Maybe this loss will egg Mulayam to plead with Amar ‘ abhe maan ja’!!!!
 
For ‘treasury work’ and ‘for play’ Mulayam will want Amar’s saath!!!
To think Mulayam got rankled because of Amar’s Bhaand Mandali threatened to resign is a galath baath!!
 
My feeling is Krishna should be reverted to being a Guv!!!
As MEA he’s not moved a bit when ‘push demanded a shove’!!!!
 
Get a new pair in MEA because even Tharoor is a misfit!!!!
In UN he still thinks he does sit!!!
 
Handling Foreign Affairs of a Nation and the work in UN is a different ball game!!!
Just not the same!!
 
See how the Aussie Government and Cops stand by Aussies!!!
Even though they know the attacks on Indians are by ‘Aussie Ku Klux Klan possies  ’!!!
 
Both the Media and Netas in TN are to blame for the Cop dying such a gruesome death!!!
Netas were in a hurry to go and Media was too busy filming as this Cop fought for breath!
 
Why couldn’t have Media rushed him for treatment????
Or did they feel that only for a certain job they had been sent!!!
 
And so providing aid was not in their ‘job profile’!!!
Really Media ko kiya these Media-men ke inaction ne defile!!
 
Confucius says…..reporting does not mean one forget one’s human duty for a story!!!!
Looked like they did not help so that they could film his death…… really gory!!!!

WHETHER MEDIA TRIAL OF FORMER DGP SPS RATHORE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN OTHER NATIONAL ISSUES ?

The issue is important as many common people are suffering under the people in power. Raising this to a conclusion would send a clear message that they can’t do anything to suit them and get away. There are many issues which are raised in media and they subside without any proper solution. Media should provide follow ups at regular interval for the awareness.
Subrata Sanyal

The most abused word in the visual media is molestation. What is molestation. Is it just pinching the bottom or holding the hand or rape. I think media for its own reasons has gone over board in the case of Rathore. No one speaks about what he has done to Ruchika to prompt her to suicide. Her suicide is tragic ,but Rathore may not be the only reason.

India beset with contradictions
India is a land of many contradictions and it is true in one sense that people in Orissa, Bulandshahar, interior Andhra etc. don't even have food for two times or even once in a day. Due to poor infrastructure, lack of significant development in the rural hinterland, a majority of population which depends upon agriculture as means of livelihood. On the other hand, this government has raised the number of billionaires in the country and 2009, India had the third highest number of billionaires after the US and China. Its is true that this UPA government has transformed poor to the poorest (Common man) and the wealthy to the wealthiest (e.g. Reliance group Anil and Mukesh).

Congratulations Bal Thakrey!
Thank God, the Shiv Sena has banned the Australians from playing cricket in Maharashtra and asked Bollywood sponsers of IPL to drop Australian cricketers. Congratulations Bal Thakrey! In fact GOI should withdraw its High Commissioner from Canberra till the Australian government restores law and order. India should also move to get Australia expelled from the Commonwealth for practicing racism and abetting racial attacks on non white citizens of the Commonwealth. India has sufficient clout today to accomplish this. Anglo-Saxons always bully non whites. They only stop when they are given a taste of their own medicine. We should also beat up 100 white Australians in India and then claim that they were not racist attacks and that the Australian media is whipping up hysteria! Would their government then ask their media to exercise restraint like our cowardly government given to fawning on the white West? Shame on our government! Will someone please inform them that the British are no longer here to arrest you for sedition for calling a white spade a white spade.

Not a good news at all
The news that a retired Chief Commissioner of Customs (Additional Secretary rank) is going to work in a consultancy firm of a Superintendent (a Section Officer rank), is a very poor news. In private enterprise why should Government ranks come into play. Your website by uploading such matter is demeaning to the Superintendents and it could have adverse fall outs! If the Superintendent's capability as a private enterpreneur is beyond question why only Chief Commissioners, may be Secretarys to GOI will be willing to associate!

For the sake of revival of people's faith in the Judicial System
I fully agree with views expressed by "a visitor" regarding the contesting of adverse judgements of tribunals/courts by government. Whatever may be the intentions of Moily, the fact of the matter is that there is no improvement in the "compulsive litigant attitude" of the government. The Government’s standing counsels have their own interests in prolonging litigation and the Legal advisors blindly go by the formers' advice. Financial might of the state is used to muzzle the aggrieved. This has put gross burden on Judiciary. It is high time the High Courts and the Supreme Court look into these appeals with more scrutiny and if they have no merit, reject them at the admission stage itself. This shall ensure reduced pendency of the cases and revival of people's faith in the Judicial System.
