Black is black.

Our most revered Minister for External Affairs, Mr Salman Khurshid has written a brain washing article in the Hindustan Times today in which he attempts to paint Indian politicians as poor, helpless victims of misunderstanding, He writes," Civil disobedience is a profound moral weapon that has been resorted to in violation of its essential prerequisite." Survival is a daily struggle in India so if the people resort to civil disobedience it means that they can tolerate no more after 65 years of lies, loot and oppression. " No one in his or her senses would question the importance of accountability, but any such questioning must surely be tempered by reality." The reality is that the pedophile Rathore was released after only 6 months in prison, Orissa police chief BB Mohanty who helped his son, Bitti Mohanty abscond for 7 years after being convicted of rape, was allowed to retire with full pension and Sukhram, who was caught red handed is still free after 25 years. There is zero accountability for politicians, police officers and civil servants. " Hard cases make bad law, but bad law extolled as honest virtue can spell disaster." Bad laws are deliberately enacted by politicians to oppress the people. The British law of sedition was used to arrest Aseem Trivedi for drawing cartoons. Section 66a was enacted to censor the internet to prevent any criticism or exposure of crimes of politicians. " As members of Parliament, we serve our country and voters. Our mixture of good and bad is surely similar to that of the people we represent." Absolutely not on both counts. Out of 543 MPs 163 are accused of violent crimes of armed robbery, murder, rape and kidnapping. You, sir, should be ashamed of  accusing 30% of your electorate guilty of such disgusting crimes. Just shows the world you inhabit and what you think of us. Voters are not the same as " vote bank " in whose name your party has wasted gazillions of rupees in wasteful social schemes. If the money had been used for roads and electricity generation the rural poor would have established their own businesses, improved education and sold their produce directly in markets instead of though middlemen. But this was not for India but to win elections, wasn't it sir? ".....we need to first know if the assumption that autonomy equals honesty is sound in itself. The obverse makes more sense." With autonomy comes responsibility and the hated accountability. Without it, it is a game of denial and pass the buck as we can see in all the scams. Finally, it is criminal to use Gandhi against us. Gandhi met King George V in Buckingham Palace in a loincloth on 5 November 1931 while your party wants to spend Rs 37 billion to buy 12 luxury helicopters. As an Oxford educated lawyer you may have a mastery of words but even you cannot turn black into white. Bye, sir.
