Politics and administration of the worst kind

In the last couple of days our Parliament and the Congress party has been faced with the Antulay problem of which I have already written. It is sad to see Mr. Antulay getting support from other marginal political parties. This is the worst kind of religion based politics one can indulge in. The smile on Mr. Antulay's face says it all - he thinks he has set the cat amongst the pegions. Instead of uniting as a Nation to face a common enemy, we have our brain dead politicians indulging in parochial politics for short term gains.

Historically, when we had various kingdoms across the length and breadth of the country, we had kings stabbing other kings in the back for short term territorial gains, which was subsequently exploited by the Mughals and then the British to establish rule over us. We have still not changed - instead of learning from history we just keep repeating the follies ad infintum ad nauseum.

We have been after Pakistan to send us our ten most wanted. Lets just talk about two of them Maulana Masood Azhar and Dawood Ibrahim. The Congress is now saying that even if Pakistan hands over Maulana Masood Azhar, India will be satisfied? Why is that? Is it with an eye on the forthcoming elections? Is it because the BJP had released Maulana Masood Azhar during the Kandahar hijacking episode and the Congress wants to get him back to score brownie points during the elections? How petty and small minded can we get? Just makes one puke at the attitude and approach of the oldest political party in the country.

Why are we not so keen on getting Dawood Ibrahim back? Is it because he has got political godfathers? We have not been able to stop his business dealings in India. We know he has got a person handling the docks in Mumbai and other people across the country. We have also acquired proof that the D-Company network was used for logistical support for the 26/11 operations. But are we doing anything about it? Nope, not on your life! We know that Rs 120 cr was transferred to Dawood through the hawala route - did we stop it? Nope. If we have the intel, we should use it and if that means burning a few political careers at the stake - so be it. We should get the resolve to cleanse our entire system of this cancerous breed of people so that our future generations in both countries live in peace and harmony.
