One can clearly see every where from north to south, east to west, the inability of our Indian politicians to rise above their very narrow mentality and their own personal agendas. Where the Indian politicians heading??
I have not heard his comments. But I am sure
this hype is absolutely created in big words by media. Here media is quite
professional and by hook and crook they try to maintain their rating among
them. In every news channel, three or four common faces comes and started
barking on the subject, same news line repeatedly run below as a headline.
Here everything is created by media and person
feels that he has done a mistake and apologies for the same. In our country
where we have a freedom to say anything, misused by the media. Media does not feel
their moral responsibilities that how much weightage has to be given on which
news. News of Varun Gandhi may lead to a communal riot.
Tell me how many people were attending the
speech of Varun Gandhi, say 1000, 10000, 100000, but news in a bad shape was
circulated to all over the country without thinking it may be a cause of
disorder.
We have seen the example during terrorist attack
on Mumbai. Terrorists were well awared about NSG commando’s movement and
prepared for counterattack accordingly. No news channel had given the
information about terrorists movement because they were inside the building.
Media should support the administration, whereas
they are happy for overwhelming the subject and creating the problem for sake
of freedom to speak.
I dont have any thing to mention for or against to what you have expressed other than
"subsidy for hajj pilgrims"
You have given a wrong example my dear.
This is not some thing great our govt is doing for muslims.
They are at liberty to SCRAP this subsidy with immediate effect as iam sure this will not effect any one who would like to perfrom HAJJ, infact HAJJ can be performed with same or lower rates without governments help.
I have never seen a pilgrim going for HAJJ using any other airliner except AIR INDIA!!!
Scrap subsidy & HAJJ committee can charter the flights that will reduce the HAJJ expenses however, it will cause great losses to AIR INDIA.
Varun gandhi is under fire because of his speech...Not only him but many has opted for such path to get immediate response & popularity. He got by saying it & Modi earn it through hardship. Since there is no "definition" of politics & there are no such define goals, therefore in INDIA it all take to play with sentiment to rise above. Politicians are clever & we are fool. We as nation always play in the hands of such handful manupulators.
I agree that the words used by Varun Gandhi were a bit abusive but the he is not the only culprit. Many of our uneducated and uncultured politicians have used more abusive languages to impart hatred in the society why no voices are raised during those instances and why no disciplinary actions were taken against those rude politicians.
People are alleging Varun as if he is one of the terrorist and has encountered a severe attack on the people of India. No these are the volunteers of opposing political parties who are trying to sensualise the issue which does'nt have much weightage.
U R not just blaming the media??? but see our independent Election commession body found voilation of code of conduct also and Forensic lab test is also wrong! like this U can not kill the truth.
Media did the best role both in Varun case & as well in 26/11 terror attacks in Mumbai, the hole India was stand still watching NDTV, Zee news & other news channel and news papers etc. its NSG dedications & media's fabolus coverage brought truth so nice to get this attack international recognition & PAK first time bent to accept that its soil were used behind the attack.
Last but not least salute to NSG heros! they proved to be real heros.
ofcourse, yes! Indira Gandhi and Varun Gandhi are two different persons... i dont think one should go in such comparision.... as Lord Krishna was nephew of Kans, they too belong to same family... but there morals and ethics were different... in the same way thou Indira, Varun or any other.....there is no provision to speak any such thing..
Politics is about endowing the citizen but in India they believe it is a game of selfinterest which is in one way false and in another way it is true. Considering Politics as a way to self enrich is wrong which is the first one and playing Poliics by deciding how the citizen should be enriched is self interest directed proper. Creating wealth of the nation should be their prime priority.
The idea on deciding what an acceptable speech is at any given moment is a particularly insane concept, particularly when those people like Varun Gandhi have defined their political beliefs with an unwavering support for what is communal with radical Hindutva belief. Free speech is radical speech we enjoy, with positive statements about groups like and negative about those we do not.Varun Gandhi should not encourage the criminalization of “hate speech” and we must remember– most basic is the Constitutional right to say what we please so long as it does not physically harm someone else. Politicians are thus heading nowhere and they just make a mockery of the gullible public.
Mr shahid, Can u please tell what is the meaning of putting Indira gandhi word here.
When sonia gandhi does something she is labelled foreign gudia, when priyanka does something in stead of referring her to as daughter of sonia, she is labelled India's grand daughter. why you media people are so much towards past. Howmuch do u think Indira gandhi would have influeneced varun's or priyanka's nature. How much your grandfather ha changed your nature.
shall i start calling every Indian Muslim as Hindu converts, of course i should not. as now they are independent with their thinking and ideology.
So you can at most relate to one generation but taking it back to two generations is like pulling someone's leg from his grave.
Right. Unfortunately our political system is based on illetracy rather than litracy. Normally a good politician is supposed to be highly knowledgeble person with great principles, values, ethics and examplary behaviour.
While politicians are not helping themselves to upgrade and make their lives easier, media is also not helping them. Everyone is looking for very short term gains.
Coming back to this issue in discussion - When the comments were made or not made, whatever the contention may be, there was no commotion or public protest or anger that generated as people say. But now some along with the help of media are trying to generate the commotion by giving an un due attention to it.
On the other hand it has become a norm these days to only talk about emotional and communal issues to get the attention and garner support. This is short cut to leadership.
We notice that every politician talks today about how the other parties are failing or doing bad. No one spends enough time on how ones own party is proposing to build the nation from strength to strength in the next 5 years to come. They just talk what is his party going to give free to the public. It is another form of sales promotion. In reality, multiple tricks to get the votes turned into ones favor. As kind hearted and emotional people we are accepting everything. We actually misunderstand what is kind hearted ness and become kind to the wrong.
Parties of diagonal, so called ideologies are joining hands, spending a lot of time on seat sharing or vote sharing god knows, rather than discussing about issues at hand and how one can help each other to reosolve them.
I feel it is we people encouraging these polytricks players to make us fools every now and then. They are taking our own money and giving it back to us. We are so happy to vote because of that.
Yes all the comments are true, one can't make such remarks in public about chopping others hands, this will seriously dent the BJPs image with the muslim voters, and with this incident i guess one will think before voting for BJP as its stand on moral policing in mangalore where the BJP government didn't take any action at all, it supported people like mutalik, if the same continues, its sure that BJP wont win these elections.
Varun should apologies; his remarks are unacceptable. I would hope for a similar media blitz against leader who make cast base remarks also. No leader leader should be permitted to create and target vote banks either.
yes shame on varun gandhi, being a educated person and gandhi family how he would've made such nonsense speech. Actually it is not his mistake, mistake is from BJP only. To get the vote they are targeting minorities as always. Due to such politicians & politics for coming next 50yrs also, India will never change......
It looks like BJP is desperate to come to power and that's why even roping in kids like Varun Gandhi. Indian voters must be careful now, Politicians still have hidden communal agenda & shame on Varun Gandhi, a member of Gandhi family. Not to be forgiven, anyone who tries to damage communal integrity of India is an enemy of India. Election commission must stop him to take part in election.................
One can clearly see every where from north to south, east to west, the inability of our Indian politicians to rise above their very narrow mentality and their own personal agendas. Where the Indian politicians heading??
Whatever Varun may have said was his own opinion but he had no right to say such things in public. It just shows that he is an immature politician. However, the reason why he can get away with such things is because he knows the illiterate public of India could still support him. If the level of education in our country was higher, no politician would have dared to say sucha thing. Such inicidents are a direct consequence of the low level of education in India.
Current bunch of young politicians could bring a gradual change. Look at Varun's cousin - Rahul. Even if you compare Sanjay and Rajiv gandhi, change between them is visible. Similar change is their in next generation also. The way Rajiv was - we could seen some traits in Rahul.
The fact is Varun's hate speech is confirmed. He may be punished too. This gives out a lesson that in public, we should be careful about our utterences.
I do not support Varun if he said he would chop of hands of a particular community. I am priviledged to meet many many muslims who are entairely different to what they are portrayed arround the world--and I believe muslims in India are uniquely patriot to the nationhood called India unlike in other countries.
Muslims in India(as far as my observation goes) are many ways better than many Hindus in India as far as the love for the nation comes, but unfortunately the devide created by many incidents disturbs the beautiful mixture and balance.
Because everyone in a particular community can not be anti national.
But I would also have applauded if he had said he would chop off the heads of those who are anti nationals and who play in the hands of enemies of this country in the disguise of Indians.I do not carry sympathy for anti nationals--sorry pls dont expect from me--I can't do that.(Not the Islamic terrorists, not the so called hindu ULFAS).
Because I like to call a spade a spade. And I do not believe in Gandhism because There were other contributors to the freedom of India--Netaji Subhash and Bhagat Singh.
having said that:
These country is built by both Hindus and Muslims---
Liberal sense can not be expected from one when other is violent--This is the base line
If this country is not only for majority--then people should remember this country can not be a "Go as you like" ground for others either.
If huj goers can expect subsidies during BJP's govt--then Amarnath pilgrims certainly can not expect violent protest by the other community against building base camp for pilgrims during congress or PDP govt.
Talks for balance become irrelevant when there is no balance exercised.
I guess that might open a new door for thinking for deepa?
I am not too sure if this is too much of media blitz as well! Media might have misquoted him rather, where actually he was trying to instill confidence in the muslim community which feels it is under siege in their own country. Even I will say we should stay from this kind of politics but BJP is not anti muslim there are leaders like mukhtar abbas naqvi & shahnavaz hussain rather it could be a conspiracy against them on the eve of elections. If allegations prove true than punsih him. And I think Varun's speech will open a wider debate & it could be a USP for other poltical parties....
This prefixing of religion and a holy color of a religion came in the backdrop of wide usage of another word Islamic terrorism, Jihadi terrorism, the words coined by American media and picked up world over. Surely these terminologies Islamic terrorism...
