Rang De Basanti????????

Well, I am fed up of receiving Arjun Singh smses and forwards, not to forget the much hyped conversation of our honourable HRD minister with Karan Thapar.

But are we all missing out on something important? Is he really the villain as he is made out to be or is he just the scapegoat? Knowing Congress and its President (not to forget her umpteen “sacrifices” for the country), where, to use a hindi phrase, unkee marzee ke binaa ek patta bhi nahi hiltaa, is something possible single-handedly and that too when that hand is not of The Congress President?

A few facts first:

---- External Affairs Minister resigned(well, again, wrong word…thrown out…for not even for a moment it appeared as if he is ready to relinquish his post) after his name was splashed throughout the country( well!! Even world!!! How can we forget how desperate he became that he started criticizing Bush and others!!) and to think that it was not his name only but the whole Indian National Congress’ name and how smartly the whole Congress( and its President) distanced from him and the whole brunt was borne by him and he slides into depths of annonymity- a punishment for putting his foot in his mouth.

---- Amar Singh and the famous tape controversy..where Ambika Soni says a very out-of-the-context statement…”Forget all that!! But why is Amar Singh not calling Sonia Gandhi Soniajee…(sycophants!!!) and after some days we hear that she replaces Renuka Choudhary as the Tourism Minister.

---- Kapil Sibal, one of the very few politicians who had the guts to say that reservations are bad, is not heard anytime after that!!!

So, as is evident, not even for a moment one should assume that Arjun Singh is the only person responsible for all the chaos and confusion. For even in his much hyped interview, he has categorically stated that The PM and The Preaident are well informed..

That poses another important question. Who is our PM? Why cannot he be an economist (now after this quota controversy, even this term seems like a farce!!) and a suave politician at the same time? Why he has to clasp his hands in front of Priyanka Gandhi’s daughter in Rajiv Gandhi’s anniversary? (Did I again hear the word sycophant???) Why hasn’t he taken a “proper” stand in the Bihar-Buta Singh controversy…

Mind it, I am not against any political party, ….welll…umm….to rephrase it…I am not against any single political party…for what is BJP (with a person I still hold in high regard Atal Bihari Vajpayee) doing? Fighting over inconsequential Aamir Khan’s remarks and banning his movie in Gujarat when the whole country is burning!!!!! What is the so called “Opposition in the real word” Left doing..celebrating its Bengal and Kerala victory when the nation’s future is at stake??

Rang De Basanti way seems to be the most appropriate way…but the main question is Who all will you kill?? The HRD Minister, The Congress President, The PM, The Gujarat CM, The CPI Head…or all???
