Came to Delhi by the overnight train which normally ends at Nizamuddin station but instead dumped me at 5.30 in the morning at New Delhi station. Presumably it was diverted because the flyover from the games village to Nehru stadium arches over the Nizamuddin station and the scum running the games did not want foreigners to see riffraff like me. Troubles did not end there. The route home was blocked because the marathon was being held in the middle of the city so the scum just decided to shut down the whole city. Ended up paying Rs. 250 instead of Rs. 150 to get home. Today is the first day of Durga Puja after nine days of Navaratri, probably the holiest time of the year for us Hindus so the Congress deliberately held the games during this period. Driving restrictions on roads means that it would be nigh impossible for people to visit various Puja pandals. We have been instructed not to hold our usual functions, not to feed our members as we do every year and severe restrictions have been placed on parking cars to make it difficult for people to attend. Old people, children and the sick cannot possibly walk long distances so the idea is to restrict Hindus from offering prayers. The driving restrictions will be in force till monday which is when all foreign athletes will be expected to leave the city. The Pujas end on sunday so we Hindus will have to face the maximum inconvenience this year. Is it now the policy of the Congress to destroy Hinduism? Would they have dared to place such restrictions on so called Minorities? Larceny, incompetence, arrogance, stupidity, the games have shown the true colors of the Congress. A pox on their house.
