Does India belong to Indians.

In a shocking development the central government told the Supreme court on Friday that Kerala Police cannot detain the Italian ship, Enrica Lexie because its crew murdered 2 Indian fishermen outside territorial waters, thus cravenly accepting Italian lies. Before elections in 5 states, including UP, the government had insisted that the murder had taken place inside our waters and the 2 marines will be tried in our courts. The Italian government says that since the incident happened in international waters the marines should be tried in Italian courts and moved the Supreme Court for custody of the marines. The Italian government has also offered Rs 10 million as compensation for each of the victims. The Supreme Court refused to accept the government's submission. " We don't expect such a stand of the central government. It is unfortunate when persons killed on February 14 are within Indian territory," the Court said. Kerala Chief Minister, Oommen Chandy said," We will stand by our position that the incident took place in our waters and we will try them under our laws." However, Chandy is from the Congress and we have to see if his bravado can withstand direct orders from the Capo. Italy is where the mafia was born and still rules. A list of former Prime Ministers reads like a rogues gallery. Bettino Craxi hid in Tunisia to escape prison. Giulio Andreotti was tried many times but never convicted. Silvio Berlusconi is still under investigation and facing serious charges but has been able to escape prison so far by using his media empire to be elected Prime Minister so that he could not be prosecuted. He not only paid an under age prostitute, Karima al Mahroug but used his influence with the police to get her released from custody. We know why the Italian government is able to dictate terms to us. Through proper channel, of course. Just one question - Would the Italians dare to use such facetious excuse to deny the crime if the incident occurred off the coast of China and 2 Chinese fishermen were killed? The Chinese would have shoved a cattle prod up the tender part of the Italian Foreign Minister's anatomy and switched it on. Sadly since independence the Congress has sought to make us weak. Nehru chose to go to the UN over Kashmir when Gen Cariappa begged for 24 hours, accepted Chinese rule over Tibet and got hammered by the Chinese as thanks and refused a Security Council seat when Taiwan withdrew. China gratefully accepted. Indira Gandhi returned 80,000 Pakistani soldiers for a handful of lies at Shimla and we allowed the Chinese into the WTO without anything in return. Even after the Mumbai attacks of 2009 we choose to go on " bended knees " to talk peace. The Italian ship and crew will be released and the money will be stolen by local civil servants so that the families will get nothing just as happened after the Bhopal tragedy. Our politicians see us as disposable. If only we could dispose of them.
