Why kick our dead soldiers?

Isn't it absolutely bemusing how a completely fabricated confrontation between the government and the opposition is created before each session of the parliament, with active support of a howling media, so that all work will be disrupted by slogan shouting opposition members and bills, vital for the economy and welfare of the people, like the GST bill, will remain in limbo. But this time it is totally incomprehensible. Students in various universities are raising slogan against the hanging of Afzal Guru, who was responsible for the attack on our parliament in 2001. When was he hanged? In February 2013. Who was in government then? The Congress. One Kanhaiya Kumar from JNU has been charged with sedition after calling for the 'barbaadi' or 'destruction' of India. Immediately 455 'academics' from US universities have condemned the arrest and called for freedom of speech. Amazing that they are not protesting about the death sentence on Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, blamed for the Boston Marathon bombing which killed 3 people. These stalwarts of free speech dd not call for the destruction of the US when Obama coolly murdered 16 year old Abdulrahman Awlaki and his 17 year old cousin with a drone strike. Of course, foreign loudmouths are nothing compared to Indian imbeciles who think that mindlessly repeating western propaganda makes them intellectual. Like this woman who writes," Kanhaiya Kumar's words are the kind that keep India meaningful. He voiced a productive patriotism, which insists on holding the Constitution to its promise for every last citizen." Perhaps, we could take her seriously if she had met the daughters left behind by Constable Kamlesh Kumari Yadav who died during the attack organised by the same Afzal Guru. Or the families of the 6 Delhi Police and 2 Parliament Security Service personnel, along with a gardener, who died in that attack, protecting the same scum who are sympathising with the JNU rabble today. Just one week back 10 soldiers were buried in an avalanche on Siachin Glacier, 9 died instantly while one died later in hospital. What were they doing in that God forsaken place? They were guarding our nation from attacks by Pakistan. In January there was an attack on an airbase in Pathankot, resulting in the death of 6 soldiers. Why did they sacrifice their lives in defending India? Because they loved their country, which surely makes them patriotic and nationalistic. What an insult to all these heroes when patriots are derided by those they were protecting and nationalism is a word of abuse. Journalists should be reporting the truth instead of repeating words of their political masters. No wonder anger boiled over in Patiala Court. Violence is unacceptable, whether physical or through lies.
