The incomplete Bandra-Worli sealink in Bombay was formally inaugurated by Sonia Gandhi yesterday.  The second carriageway of the sealink will only be completed by the year end.  For a project that has already been in the making for more than 10 years, why the hurry to inagurate it so fast, when its yet to be completed?  Is it something to do with scoring some brownie points just before the Maharashtra assembly elections?

Also, why name the bridge after Rajiv Gandhi? What did he do to deserve the name on the bridge?  Was he the mason or the engineer or the company that executed the project? Havent we had enough of the Gandhi names adorning everything in the country?  Is there no one in the billion odd citizens of India who can be honoured with their name on the bridge.  Anyway, why cant we stick with the original name of the bridge, Bandra Worli Sealink (BWSL)?

Couldnt the sycophants of Congress not find a single person from the hundreds dead in the terrorist attack last year whose name could be adorned to the bridge? Does the UPA have any plans to change India’s name to Gandhistan or Rajivistan?

I would support any move by the government that would name all our public toilets after Rajiv or Indira Gandhi.  That would be one project i would be happy to see named after the Gandhi family.  How about Rajiv Gandhi Shauchalaya or Smt Indira Gandhi Toilet ?

Why doesnt the sycophant Congress workers plan something on this matter? Am sure their dear madam, Sonia Gandhi wont object to something so noble.

More articles on how the US has ignored / nurtured ISI, the rogue Pakistani intelligence agency.  So much that it has today gone out of control and has become the organiser and funds one of the world’s largest terrorist network.

Some good articles that nail the Pakistani lie

Pakistan’s Jihad – The Weekly Standard

Risk Factors – New Yorker

How to break a terrorist – Time

Interview with Rakesh Maria (Mumbai Joint Commissioner of Police) – Read all the 3 parts of the interview where he puts forth most of the evidence that indicates Pakistani Army/ISI involvement in the Mumbai attacks.  And also proof that all the terrorists involved in the Mumbai attack were Pakistani nationals.

Thats quite a lot to read over what i thought would have been a lazy weekend   Thanks to Prempanicker for collating all the links.  Follow Prem on his twitter link.

Vir Sanghvi makes a chilling comparison between the Joker (villain in the movie Batman) and the terrorists who attacked Mumbai last month.

Interesting read.  Read the full article here

So, the UN and Pak have declared Jamat ul Dawa a terrorist organisation and froze its assets and money.  While the morons in the UN were debating, the Paki government would have already taken out the money.  And Jamat-ul-Dawa would have renamed itself Jamai-ka-Dawa, Jumme-ka-Dawa or Jummerat Bazar or… let your mind go on a naming spree.

Asking the Pakis to clamp down on terror is like asking Gandhi to take up guns.  Terrorism is in the blood of Pakis.  They will never let go of any opportunity to foment trouble in the region or in the world.  Pakistan is today nothing but an international migraine (as per Madeline Albright).  So true.

The only respite for the world will come when Pak is squeezed economically and the Paki govt made to grovel on its knees.  Here are 12 easy to do steps on getting Pakistani economy on its knees.

A stable Pakistan is not in the interest of world peace, leave alone India. Army controls the country and owns its economy.

A significant portion of its GDP is due to army-controlled entities (See: Military Inc – Inside Pakistan’s Military Economy, by Ayesha Siddiqa; OUP; 2007). One can easily say that Pakistan economy and its Army/ISI are synonymous.

Unless this elementary fact is internalised, we are not going anywhere. This implies we should stop talking of a stable Pakistan since a stable Pakistan means multiple attacks on many more cities of India by that rogue organisation ISI, which is the core of the Pakistan Army and the heart of Pakistan’s economy.

Let us not even assume that Zardari is in control. Poor man — he did not trust his own investigators to probe his wife’s assassination — he wanted Scotland Yard to do the job. Now he blabbers that if his investigators are satisfied, then he will initiate action against terrorists sitting inside Pakistan.

Periodically, the Pakistan Army likes to present some useful idiots (as Lenin would have called them) as elected representatives and we swoon over such events.
