Friends, Here comes a new sensation, a block buster !!!

Read this.............

"Keen to be part of the euphoric ‘Slumdog’ bandwagon , Congress has counted the eight Oscars as part of the UPA’s ‘achievements’.

The party lost no time in claiming credit for the ‘Indian triumph’ and hinted that good times had come with the UPA government. In an unmistakable resonance of the previous NDA government’s ‘India Shining’ slogan, Congress floated the idea of an ‘achieving India’ and listed among the milestones the Indo-US nuclear deal, Chandrayaan, near 9% growth and the total sweep of the Oscars.

“They represent the finest traditions of our film industry and are an inspiration to all of us,” Congress chief Sonia Gandhi said. Her party spokesman Abhishek Singhvi went a few steps ahead and termed Slumdog Millionaire “a film of India, for India , by India” and talked about the “conducive atmosphere with emphasis on good governance contributing to an achieving India”.

Sensing a feel-good factor before the elections in the massive success of the film, the party sought a closer association with it.

Singhvi raised a toast to the film’s music director, A R Rahman , calling him a “wonderful symbol of India” and embodiment of Indian nationalism.

Unable to wait for the Oscar moment to slip away, the spokesman sought to put the good story in perspective by contrasting it with what he projected as the BJP’s disruptive politics. “There are parties drawing us back to the dark ages,” he said.

Making the reference to the rival BJP clear, Singhvi targeted L K Advani for the “gimmickry of rath yatras and pumping iron before the cameras”."

Yes it is the only achievement of UPA and I think the whole credit of oscars go to Congress party . Because without congress, there would not have been slum in India after the 62 years of independence..:)

Indeed hilarious as well as pathetic, that we have to claim our achievements, by borrowing feathers from Danny Boyle's hat!

Its high time people wake up!, if Inida still achieves by being potrayed in the slums and the so called political leaders count it as the nation's achievements,Our nation will be doomed!

I think what the views of general youth of India is ably expressed byLeena and her ilk. But in today's scenario, do have any choice apart from Congress, I feel that among the herd, they have the best manpower, be it Manmohan singh/P chidambaram/AK Antony/Pranab Mukherjee.

At any given day, they are better than people like some thackreys/Rajnath Singh/Mulayam-Maya/Laloo.

So please give these congress folks a chance.

YES its a part of UPA achievement....its the only achievement they have :) :)

Don't they know that the movie was not made by INDIAN, also I believe that if the same movie was directed by an INDIAN, it wouldn't have won a single oscar..

Yes great achievement by rigging trouble in Andhra Pradesh, which is uniting policy of congress. what a great achievement.  There are another set of trouble sooner or later will go in a bigger way of claiming Gorkha Land, Vidharba, division of UP etc., are all another set of achievements.  We will not feel ashamed of showing our slums and will not get any irks by showing our own people stealing the foreigners which has been clearly depicted in the picture as well as telling the world Indians are thieves.  Oscar committee giving awards for the bad depiction of India.  As the congress party itself not feeling ashamed that their leader is not an origin of India. How can we expect from them a patriotic feeling.

One line from Ghalib's poetry is enough for this kind of claim " SHARM INKO MAGAR NAHI AATI"

What an irony !!!! These guys have no shame. It is ridiculously hilarious. The people who will accept this statement don't understand what the Oscar is and the people who understand what the oscar is will laugh at the this statement. Mr Singhvi put some brain before speaking......
