Shame on Congress!
by Debashri Sengupta on Apr 20, 2007 07:33 AM

What the Congress Party is doing to stay in power is totaly shameless. It is sad to see that the party which was once held in high esteem by the people of this country, has to resort to these cheap tactics to remain in power. It is sickening the way Congress is going about playing on the minorities' sentiments! I have some points to make here:
1) I wasn't aware that Rajiv Gandhi was against the Shah Bano judgement. If it was really so, then we should never have had a PM like him. The Shah Bano judgement was a landmark judgement in favour of women's rights. If Rajiv Gandhi was against it, he was a better fit for Taliban, than for a democracy.
2) Babri Masjid demolition issue that Rahul Gandhi has put on PV Narasimha Rao - He has conveniently forgotten that it was his late father, who started the nonsense in the first place!
3)Maybe it is time for the Congress to rethink, and let the nation know the truth about the partition of India. It was about Nehru's power-hunger that was as much (if not more) responsible for it, as Jinnah's.
4) Why did the Congress hide the details about the Indo-China war of 1962? Will Congress please explain the joke that is, "Hindi-Chini Bhai-Bhai?"
5) The Congress 'Rajmata' who 'gracefully' steps down everytime she is in a controversy, only to emerge after its been taken care of by her cronies - Will she explain what made her refuse Indian citizenship for decades? Other countries' citizens who have made our country their own have learnt our language, but 'Madam' still struggles bad, even when she has been 'apparently' spending a lot of time with India's downtrodden.(Do they speak to her in English? Or maybe some of our poor farmers have learnt some Italian to impress 'Bharat ki Bahu'!) Will Congress explain whether her sad Hindi is because of a learning-disability or her lack of concern for India?
6) Dilip Kumar to SRK, Mehboob Khan to Farhan Akhtar, MAK Pataudi to Azhar to Irfan to Sania, they all owe their sucess to Congress? Come on, this is a JOKE! Taking away from HUGELY talented people, pigybacking on their fame, is insulting not only to the celebrities (Who fully deserve their fame), but also to the wonderful social fabrc of India, which has bound us all for thousands of years. Maybe we should ask the Congress how, Prof. Abdul Kalam cme to be the President during BJP rule? Or how Irfan flourished as a cricketer in Modi's state? (That is not to say that BJP has done anything for them either!)Or Sania under the Telugu Desam govt.?
Guys, please open your eyes and see how we are being taken for ride by the people we elected. It is time to stand up for yourself, to make yourself heard. This is our country! Let's not have our politicians divide us any further. Let us save our country from the shameless Congress who has divided and ruled our country for decades now!
