Unn ki JIT. ...humaari Jeeth. .
I'm in a trendy Coffee Shop in CP, Delhi. The place is overcrowded. I'm seated on a table for two ...a gentleman seeing an empty chair requests if he can join me. After intros we get chatting.

Gentleman: AAP Leaders try to ape Kejriwal ... and we know Kejriwal has a Modi allergy ....and if I may say is very rude ...

Me: Yes ...one of them called Modi an ISI Agent for allowing the JIT to visit India..... I think he should be sent to Agra in the new Gatimaan Express...

G: What warped logic by this fellow .... post the Mumbai attack one reason why Pakistan put the case in the ice box was India's refusal to let Pakistan Investigate the attack in Mumbai..so they hid behind this and ice boxed the attack investigation....full stop...

M: Yes... so this time India negated this excuse ... and then in a way this is a tacit acceptance by Pakistan of Paki Hand...

G: Indian Government knew that Paki JIT would clean chit Pakistan but in the bargain India has shown India is fair and open....the mountain of evidence shows Pakistan is lying ....now they can't hide behind not being allowed to investigate ..the lie is now out in the open...

M: And now in reciprocity India will request it's investigators be allowed to talk to the attack's perceived hatchers and handlers who are in Pakistan...

G: You mentioned Gatimaan Express ....it cuts down a full 17 minutes...but a section of Media is showing it to be 2 to 7 minutes.

M: Chalo take it to be 7 minutes... which translates to 70 minutes if your are travelling from Delhi to Kolkata ...and if you take the actual saving of 17 minutes then 150 minutes saving from Delhi to Kolkata ...and then do keep in mind the facilities on the New Train.
G: Talking about the Media ... surprised about their silence on what took place in NIT in Kashmir ...

M: Funny they side with those who chant anti India slogans ...but ignore those who chant pro India slogans ...

G: What's the Pseudo lot's Mascot Khaniya up to nowadays...

M: From comparing 1984 and 2002...now he has taken up the Mandir issue ...he was to be used by Commies in WB...but seems now he is on his way to joining Congress ...

G: Ha ...maybe in UP he will do the oration behind the curtain.....and Rahul will lip sync and do his act on the podium. ..

M: Yes Sir desperate times require desperate measures ...

Political poaching-SYL Canal

Inter-state water and SYL canal issue has been intermittently at the centre- stage of Punjab and Haryana relations for more than half a century and still it may continue to breed soar slogan shouting throats and swords wielding frontmen. .Sutlej -Yamuna link canal issue first seriously affected the Punjab psyche in 1982,when earth was broken by Indira Gandhi, to lay its foundation stone. People must know that the present day political poachers were the major contributors to its coming into existence. Incumbent Cm now was the CM then in 1978 to acquire land, Amarinder Singh was MP in 1982 and attended the foundation laying function. However as an aftermath of Rajiv-Longowal Agreement,Barnala government was formed in Punjab after friendly electoral battle with Congress.This government put the construction at fast track..Amarinder singh was minister for agriculture and Sucha singh Chhotepur was also a minister in that government.These people enjoyed power by compromising the interests of the state and now they were acting as if they were their saviors.The order of the Supreme Court on January 15,2002,shook the state government from its deep slumber and complacence as it had been ordered by the apex court to complete the work within stipulated period and in case it did not comply the Central government would do it.Then the state government filed suit and Review petitions in the Supreme Court and also passed Termination of Agreements Act 2004 to say goodbye to its legal obligation to construct the canal.Now the Supreme court will decide the Presidential reference against the Punjab legislation i.e. Termination of Agreements Act.The Centre government has now pleaded neutral stand on the issue.It should have taken a legal stand instead.It should have studied the agreements brought aboutt under political duress without following the law.The latest action of the state government to legislate de-notification of the land acquired for the canal is a meaningful action,but it could have been done 9 years earlier.In this case Punjab looks forward for justice without relying on the forced agreements under political compulsions.

'Bhagirath Prayas'

It is a great achievement like 'Bhagirath Prayas'. Last week I was in Ujjain. There was no water in the Kshipra river. Every one was serious about the totally dry river bed, not knowing about the existence of a few dedicated officers like Rajnish Vaish of our Country.
