PAWN CHECKMATES THE KING :

"Reason and Judgement are the qualities of a Leader" -Tacitus.

The clean image of Manmohan Singh has suffered some heavy blows with the revelation of A.Raja, the main accused in 2G scam, that the Prime Minister and the then FM P.Chidambaram were well aware of and approved the spectrum allocation proceedings all along.Now we know why Dr.Manmohan Singh is firing on all cylinders to keep the Prime Minister's office outside the purview of the proposed Lokpal.

Mr.Raja claims that he only followed in the footsteps of his predecessors in the NDA government

who had adopted the first-come-first serve policy instead of the more profitable auctioning method for 2G spectrum allocation and that this decision was approved by the Union Cabinet. He (Raja) went on to say, "If the policy pursued by me was wrong, then all former Telecom Ministers since 1993 should also be in jail with me. If I had auctioned spectrum, that would have been a crime, as it was a Union Cabinet decision".But what Mr.Raja failed to note was that a wrong decision in the past can be amended for the welfare of the citizens in the future.

It is hard to believe that the Cabinet headed by an Economist Prime Minister did not foresee the possible loses that the Govt. of India would incur if it went ahead with a Seven year old policy formulated during the NDA regime.One does not require a "magic wand" to predict a loss of Rs. 1.76 lakh crores (US$40 billion) if the 2G spectrum is sold in 2008 at a price set in 2001.Thus, it clearly questions the integrity of Manmohan Singh, who with a vast experience as minister of finance, RBI governor and Dy.Chairperson of Planning Commission gave his nod to the first-come-first serve policy which led to the largest scam in the history of India.

RIDICULOUS :

"OBAMA WINS NOBEL PEACE PRIZE FOR 2009"

United States President Barack Obama has beaten 205 other nominees to win the Nobel Peace Prize-2009 for his so-called "extraordinary efforts in strengthening international diplomacy and for taking landmark initiatives to create a nuclear-free world".

With U.S.A taking the 2nd place in the list of nuclear weapons states only behind Russia, I really wonder what Obama has done in creating a nuke-free world.U.S has 2623 active nuclear warheads out of a total 9400 nukes.(Source:wikipedia)
In reality he is trying to create a world where only the United States Of America will posses these powerful weapons.

Now the Norwegian Nobel Committee has become the second prominent institution after the United Nations to accept the dictatorship of the United States and is spinelessly trying to impress her by presenting the Prize for "PEACE" to a man under whose regime the U.S is continuing its assault on millions of helpless Iraqis and Afghans.

Obama has not yet kept his promise to close down the Guantanamo Bay and I don't think he will ever do it.The U.S military is still using Iraq as a "testing ground" for their latest weapons, Afghanistan as an "bombing arena" for their latest bombers and Guantanamo Bay-"the modern day Colosseum" for entertaining the CIA.

If the Nobel Peace Prize can be awarded to U.S President Barack Obama under whom the U.S military is continuing its brutal war crimes and its assault on human rights, then the dictator from the past-Adolf Hitler has got the right qualification to posthumously win the Nobel Peace Prize-2010.

My only request to the Norwegian Nobel Committee :
"Please don't commit ridiculous acts in the name of one of the greatest men who have walked upon this Earth - ALFRED NOBEL".

62 YEARS OF INDEPENDENT INDIA :

"At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom."

AUGUST 15, 1947; MIDNIGHT-"A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance."

THE INDEPENDENT SOVEREIGN INDIA IS BORN.

I pay my solemn homage to all those patriots who sacrificed their lives so that we could have the freedom that we are enjoying today.

JAI HIND !!

I dedicate this post to the great men and women who displayed the courage of standing up to the brutal repression and achieved solidarity in the face of the divisive power.

JAI HIND !!! JAI HIND !!!!!
