When Raj Thuggeray’s Thackeray’s security was scaled down, he cried mummy and hid inside his home.  Now, after waving black flags at Rahul Gandhi’s trip to Mumbai, some of the Shiv Sena’s leaders’ police protection has been withdrawn leading to cries of mummy again. Hahahaha…. i love the scums of Shiv Sena, their paper tiger’s empty threats and their panic the moment their security cover is withdrawn.

Three Shiv Sena legislators complained Monday that their police security cover had been withdrawn, and accused the Congress-NCP of getting back at them for their recent opposition to the government.

Two of the three lawmakers, Jogeshwari MLA Ravindra Waikar and Andheri MLC Anil Parab, were among the 342 Shiv Sena activists who were detained last week for waving black flags at Rahul Gandhi during his visit to Mumbai. Before that, Parab had led a march to Shah Rukh Khan’s home to protest the star’s statement that Pakistani players should have been part of the IPL.

The third lawmaker, Bandra MLA Prakash (Bala) Sawant, said he had not taken part in any protests but had visited police stations to talk to Sainiks who had been detained.

MLAs and MLCs in Maharashtra are provided security by the Protection and Security Department of the Mumbai Police, and are assigned policemen not above the rank of constable who carry a small weapon and work in 12-hour shifts.

Sawant complained he had been targeted despite his not having taken part in the protests. “I had only gone to meet activists detained at various police stations,” Sawant said. He added he would write to the police to ask them to restore his security. “My constituency is very sensitive and if anything happens to me the state government will be responsible.”

I have always believed that all these morons dont deserve even a single police constable’s protection around them.  Since they have no qualms whipping up communal and regional feelings and exhorting their supporters to beat up innocent people, the police should also let them be at the mercy of people who want to take revenge from them.

Let them also be beaten into pulp while the rest of the world watches the fun.

Paper tiger blames grapes for being sour

The paper tiger of Maharashtra does what he does best, barking from behind the high walls of Matoshree or in the editorials of Saamna.  No one takes Bal Thuggeray serious anymore, but you cant discount the comedy that one gets out of his comments.

Stunned by his party’s third consecutive defeat at the hustings, Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray today blamed the people of Maharashtra for “pushing the state back into hell” by re-electing the Congress-Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) combine.

In an editorial in the Shiv Sena mouthpiece Saamna, which expressed the party’s shock and anguish over its rout in the 2009 assembly polls, the Sena chief and the newspaper’s editor wondered what were the great achievements of the Democratic Front government in the past 10 years that made people to vote for it.

“There was corruption, load-shedding, Maoist terror which killed policemen, suicides of thousands of farmers, Mumbai terror attacks, etc,” Thackeray noted in the editorial.

The results of the assembly elections held Oct 13 gave the Congress 82 seats and the NCP 62 — totalling 144 in the 288-member assembly. The opposition alliance got a drubbing with only 90 seats, the Shiv Sena getting 44 and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) 46. The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) got 13 seats.

Thackeray blamed the people for the defeat of the Shiv Sena-Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) saffron alliance and for bringing back a “naalayak” (useless) government.

I would seriously miss this fellow when he steps into the grave.

WTF: Jinnah is a hate figure – RSS

Posted by Liju Philip | Posted in India, Politics, WTF, bjp, chaddi gang | Posted on 26-08-2009

…and what the eff is RSS?   An organisation that has perfected the art of propagating hate against people of other religion?  Its a perfect case of the pot calling the kettle black.

Rashtriya Swamsevak Sangh (RSS) mouthpiece Organiser has slammed Pakistan founder Mohammad Ali Jinnah calling him a hate figure.

The Organiser editorial said that Jinnah was a frustrated, piqued and egoist person and added that he cruelly and constantly insulted Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and other Congress leaders for their correct and nationalist stand of not accepting Muslim League as the sole representative body of the Muslims.

It also said Jinnah was a hate figure like Mohammad Ghori, Mohammad Ghaznavi, Babar and Aurangzeb but is disliked more because his actions are fresh in memory, and millions of victims of his hate campaign are still alive.

article link

A good article in the Open magazine on why the BJP loves Jinnah so much.

Apart from their senility, I can only think of one explanation; they envy him his achievement. He has created a nation in their image, a nation based on the faith of the majority with no room for diversity. In Pakistan, the BJP finds its ideal.

The truth contrary to what Jaswant Singh says is that Jinnah has not been demonised enough. There is a strange complicity between men such as Jaswant Singh and a certain stream of liberal Indian thought that continues to argue that Nehru should have accommodated Jinnah’s ambition and prevented the Partition. It is a strange and baffling argument given all we know about Jinnah. By the perverse logic of that argument, we should reach out to Narendra Modi and offer him the post of PM to end the divisiveness that plagues us today. The BJP’s real problem is that they cannot lay claim to the Freedom Movement, nor are Gandhi and Nehru figures they can come to terms with. Under the circumstances, the best they can do is to devalue them. And what better way to achieve this than to compare them unfavourably with Jinnah?

The author exactly nails the point.  No matter what BJP says, its never believed in the secular fabric of India.  It simply cannot reconcile to the fact that Indians believe in different religions yet they are proud to be Indians.  The fact that our founding fathers believed in the right of every religion to be followed.  BJP  loves Jinnah so much simply because they see in Jinnah a person who managed to get a country all for himself based on Islam.  But inspite of their hate politics, the Indian public doesnt fall for their tactics.

There is nothing more comical than seeing the chaddi gang pressing the self-destruct button.  Fearing the worst that Arun Shourie might spill some more beans of the fakeness of the fake iron man of India, LK Advani,  the BJP has just asked Shourie to explain what he meant in his outburst the other day.

The BJP was full of morons was already known.  The fact that they dont understand english has just been confirmed.  Jaswant Singh has been daily dropping one bomb after another on how Advani knew of the terrorist exchange in Kandahar, but lied in his book that he was kept in the dark.  How he kept quiet when the butcher of Gujarat, Narendra Modi let his dogs free on innocent civilians and more.

Am waiting to read more fun from the stables of the chaddi gang in time to come.

They say, “a bully is always a coward“.  Under mobocracy, they thrive and rule. And when the opposition stands up to them, they panic.  Its been same of dictators worldwide and its same of political wannabies.

First we saw the bully Raj Thackeray exhorting his goons of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) to beat up migrant workers from UP and Bihar who came to Bombay to find work.  And when the government removed the Z category security, he panicked and started accusing the government of making plans to eliminate him.

Same is the case with Varun Gandhi.  Only an idiot would agree with the mother-son claims that the CD showing Varun Gandhi using threatening and vulgar words against the Muslim community and the Prime Minister were morphed or somehow tampered with.

Even a layman could make out that Varun went on with his hate filled speech which was gleefully applauded by the chaddi gang till someone filmed the speech and bought the crime to light.   The same Varun Gandhi who once threatened to cut down people of a certain community is now quivering in fear and is hiding under his mamma’s pallu as there are rumors that the sharp shooters of underworld don, Chhota Shakeel are on the lookout to eliminate him.

In the wake of the arrest of six sharpshooters of the Chota Shakeel gang, who were allegedly planning to kill the lawyer of Varun Gandhi, Bharatiya Janata Party Member of Parliament Maneka Gandhi on Sunday shot off a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, saying she was concerned about her son’s safety.

“It is with the deepest concern for my son’s life and safety that I write to you today,” she said in her letter in the wake of the arrest of the gang members.

In a separate statement, Varun, 29, said while he was not personally intimidated by such cowardly threats, strong precautions must be taken to defeat the desperate designs of extremist elements.

“The Home Ministry should respond with the urgency and responsibility that behoves those entrusted with the safety of a whole nation,” he said, claiming that it was a plot against his life by dangerous underworld criminals.

The Delhi police on Saturday claimed that the gang had come to the capital to allegedly kill Varun’s lawyer.

Honestly, such hatemongers are at best dead and buried.

Why BJP still doesnt get it

On one hand, Advani wants youngsters to be promoted in BJP;  and on the other hand he clings on to the leadership position in the party inspite of the humiliating defeat in the recent elections under his leadership.

Veteran Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader L.K. Advani today asserted that the party’s leadership should shed its “train compartment mentality” and evolve a system to encourage young leaders.

Delivering the concluding address to the party’s two-day national executive meeting here, Advani said: “The party has to urgently evolve a system of encouraging younger leaders at all levels.

“But I have heard many young activists tell me that they are not given opportunity to serve the party more effectively,” said Advani, 81.

He lamented: “It is sad that a certain ‘train compartment mentality’ has got developed within the party, which makes those in leadership positions to ignore promising, talented and committed cadres who are standing ‘outside’ and waiting for the door to open.”

He said this had to change and the party must think into the future. Advani said: “We must identify, train, groom and empower third, fourth and fifth generation of leaders in the BJP. Our leadership planning should take into account the party’s needs for the next twenty years.”

After a few days of chintan baithak, the BJP decides that they should follow something called Inclusive Hindutva.  Not sure what it means.  Is BJP accepting that its brand of rabid Hindutva project has failed and its time to find out if people will fall for another game called “Inclusive Hindutva”? If so, what will hate mongers like Varun, Modi, Muthalik and the rest of the chaddi gang do then?

As per this tweeter, Inclusive Hindutva sounds more or less like…

BJP talks about Inclusive Hindutva. Hmm how about Vegetarian Tandoori Chicken?
