MMS

A day after Jagdish Tytler and Sajjan Kumar were dropped as candidates for Lok Sabha polls by Congress, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Friday said he was neither informed nor consulted over CBI's clean chit given to Tytler in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots case. "I was not informed, nor consulted" over CBI clean chit to Jagdish Tytler, Singh said - This is an astonishing statement coming from the Prime Minister of the Country. Does this mean that PM has absolutely no control over his governance? Or is he implying that CBI is so independent, it will not seek political backing before giving a false clean chit to a ruling party heavy weight on such a sensitive issue? Does our PM take us to be so gullible that we will be fooled by whatever he says? Come on Manmohan Singh, at least take into considerations that we are reasonably intelligent guys!!!


Muslims are harassed in name of terror: PM - There we go again. How about a bit of concern for all others who are harassed by Islamic Terroritsts in India in name of terror? In the same speech he has asked Security forces to have zero tolerence for human right violations. But not a peep about the human right violations committed by the terrorists. How about preaching human right violations to the terrorists for a change, Manmohan Singh? You know what will happen next. A supari will be given to commit some human right violations on you, personally.


MMS may be a decent man, but he is a political novice and despite tall claims his standing as an economist is really overhyped. True, he initiated the reforms in 1991 as FM, but then any decent FM would have done what he did, as India did not have any choice at that time. His tenure as RBI Governor was a mild disaster, he left the coffers empty at the end of his tenure as FM and again the treasury is in bad shape at the end of his tenure as PM. The new government has an unenviable task of having to find funds to pay for the reckless welfare economic policies of this Government - a classic case in point being the farm loan waiver scheme, and the pay commission report - both will make taxing demands on any future Government.

But he will be most (worst) remembered for making India more unsafe than ever before, and for not showing the guts to stand up to terrorism and punish the perpetrators.

Posterity will view him very unkindly
