What goes round comes round.

The dictatorial Congress regularly uses the investigating agencies to harass opponents and the law of sedition, enacted by the British to oppress Indians, against citizens to force us to tow the line. Dr Binayak Sen was locked up on a charge of sedition until public outrage forced the courts to free him and hundreds of protesters against the Kudankulum nuclear power plant have been slapped with sedition charges. How entertaining then that the charge of sedition has come back to bite the Congress in the backside. Today a lawyer, AC Upadhyay filed a complaint in front of the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate in Jaipur against Mr Robert Vadra charging him with sedition, imputations and assertions prejudicial to natural integration and defamation of the Indian Penal Code. Activist Nutan Thakur has filed a Public Interest Litigation against the same Mr Vadra in front of the Lucknow branch of the Allahabad High Court asking Mr Vadra to explain charges made against him by civil society activist, Arvind Kejriwal. In her complaint she also said that she has sent a letter to the Principal Secretary at the Prime Minister's Office but does not expect an answer. All this arose from charges against Mr Vadra that he was given an unsecured, interest free loan of Rs 650 million by the construction company, DLF and was allowed to buy apartments at vastly reduced prices as well as a 50% stake in  DLF owned hotel in South Delhi. The total value of all these properties is estimated at Rs 3 billion. Mr Vadra is the son in law of Congress President, Ms Sonia Gandhi and, given the foot-licking sycophancy in the Congress, sees no reason to feel embarrassed. Instead he contemptuously dismissed the activists as " Mango people in a Banana Republic " on his Facebook page. Mango people is a joke on aam aadmi. Aam means ordinary and also means mango. Trouble is that the aam aadmi is the central pillar of the Congress strategy of spending trillions of rupees on social schemes, money which is then diverted into the pockets of politicians and civil servants. Taunting the aam aadmi is to take away the main excuse of the Congress. The second is that Ms Sonia Gandhi is Italian and has never proved that she has renounced Italian citizenship. No one has ever seen an official paper from the Italian government saying that her renunciation of citizenship has been accepted and she will need a visa to travel to Europe and will not be able to scarper if things got hot for her in India. We do not know if Mr Vadra has a white British ancestor and hence feels that he is a brown sahib. His contemptuous reference to India as a " Banana Republic " is deeply offensive as India does not export bananas. In fact, under the Congress our exports have fallen for 5 straight months, falling by 10.78% to $23.69 billion in August. Trade deficit went up to $18.08 billion. No one can touch the Gandhi family, so nothing will happen. At least we can enjoy the circus. Bananas anyone?
