PKL. Wednesday , the 4th April 4th 2007. In my opinion while asking Paki ISI further inroads in the highly violence Prone valley and other JK regions ,under high sounding shibboleths as Confidence-Building Measures and Joint Anti -Terrorists Initiatives are vain hopes. These are shiftings from the national objectives of security Of all Indians anywhere, including Kashmiri Pundits and other stateless Hindus in Jammu, whatever the legal JK's Constitution 's conundrums /the quibblings of international lawyers and other opinions ,are.We must have a robust sense of India's and Indians' Identity and we should not allow global cross-pressures to frustrate India from its secular destiny. This said BJP is hardly any better , it is a house divided,between Sanyasini and stalwarts like Bajpayi & Advani how to tackle Nuclear Blackmail after posting Indian Army for several weeks for action against Mujhideen Camps in Azad Kashmir or Punjab killing Indians, intermittently ,while Paki seeing the killers as freedom -fighters.D.Goel
BJP is not a special cadre party now, indiscipline is a part now of this party too. Why all old people, above the age of 60 automatically become advisors or organisational Heads instead of showing the greed of political chair,what has happened to Patriotism.
Appreciate the efforts of Rediff in informing the readers about developments preceding Elections in UP. Hope similar importance is shown to elections in rest of India. It would inform the Indian readers about the detalis of political working in each region. That would be a progressive way and focussing on one or two regions for tamasha is not the right way. Try to give equal importance to all regions.
Uma Bharti is a firebrand OBC leader and a vote puller. Altrough Hindutva is closed to her heart, she has been badly let down by the BJP.She should try to consolidate the OBC vote bank and ensure development of backward OBC's, Dalits and Tribals.
