For the last 10 years the Congress has been ruling India and Ms Sonia Gandhi rules the Congress, ergo Ms Gandhi has been ruling India. In September, 2013 a judge, Brian M Cogan of some piddling court in Brooklyn in the US issued summons for Ms Gandhi to attend his court to answer charges of protecting perpetrators of genocide on Sikhs after the murder of Mrs Indira Gandhi in 1984. Sikhs for Justice, who have filed the case against her in the US, claim that they served the summons on staff at Sloan Kettering Cancer Hospital on 9 September last year where she was undergoing treatment. On 10 January Ms Gandhi submitted that she was not in the US between 2 and 9 September last year but the judge does not believe her. On 20 March he issued an order for her to " provide a copy of her passport, showing her most recent entry and exit stamps into and out of the United States." Why did he not ask the Immigration department to provide details of Ms Gandhi's visits to the US? It should not take more than a few minutes for them to search their database. Ms Gandhi has declined to provide copies of her passport claiming that the government would not allow her on grounds of security. " However, as I have nothing to hide, I voluntarily relinquish the plea of lack of personal jurisdiction," she wrote. Why so humble? If she is an Indian citizen then why should she be answerable to a US court for events that took place inside our country? Why does she not tell the fellow to take a running jump into the nearest canal? If her illness is such that it needs foreign expertise it would be much cheaper to pay for these specialists to come to India and treat her at AIIMS or any top hospital. The previous president of the US, George Bush was forced to cancel a trip to Europe for fear of being sued for encouraging torture. Surely as a sovereign country we cannot allow any two penny judge of the US to serve summons on our citizens. Mystery. The other mystery was when our captain Dhoni sent Yuvraj Singh to bat at number 4 against Sri Lanka when he had struggled in the semifinal against South Africa, scoring 18 runs off 17 balls in 24 minutes. In that match Suresh Raina came in and completely altered the situation by scoring 21 off 10 balls, hitting three 4s and one 6. Surely against Sri Lanka, Raina should have come in at number four, followed by Dhoni and then Yuvraj Singh if necessary. Raina did not play at all and Dhoni scored a leisurely 4 runs off 7 balls. Seems that he planned the defeat. Strange how we allow others to walk over us.
