It is interesting how dramatically
scenarios and equations change. Smita
Prakash of ANI tells Arnab “We are all culprits as we did not hound Vadra for 10 years”.
For the record and for the sake of history, an ANI reporter accosted Robert Vadra at a 5-star hotel in Delhi
where the latter was testing some new gym equipment (or inaugurating as they
say). He asked him a gentle question about the gym and health like throwing a
dolly to Chris Gayle. Then, to an alarmed Vadra, he asked him a question about
the fraudulent land deals in Haryana. An angry Robert De Vadra did a Robert De
Niro “You talkin’ to me?” monologue with #AreYouSerious and #AreYouNuts.
It’s just that there was no mirror in front of Vadra to tell him how ugly he
looked. As he did his routine, an angry Vadra also knocked down the mic that
the reporter was holding up to him. That was enough to send the entire media
into a tizzy. The fire alarms went off. Everyone was up at around 11pm in the
night on November 1 to rant about the attack on media.
SoniaG’s poodles had suddenly found the
courage to talk and rant about Vadra’s misbehaviour. Of course, this is the
first time any of these poodles got anywhere near 6.66 inches of the man. I
need not add that the most to rant were none other than Arnab Goswami & Co on TimesNow.
Imagine their luck and delight on dull news-days when the goose drops golden
eggs like such an incident from heavens. On the other hand the Congis cannot
tire of telling people Vadra is a private citizen who is being hounded by
media. Hounded? That’s what Gandhi
family stooge Diggy would have us
believe (so too their spokies on TV):
This is the first time I have ever seen
a media person in the last decade confront Vadra or ask him a question and the
Congis would have us believe he is being “hounded”?
Vadra had misbehaved but he only knocked down the mic in anger. This is the
same media who defended the offensive, vulgar and violent behaviour of Rajdeep Sardesai at New York:
Rajdeep not only abused members of the
crowd at NY but physically assaulted one of them. The entire HATO alliance came to defend this
street-thug, including the union of snakes that passes as “Editors Guild”. By condoning Rajdeep’s conduct the media has no
moral authority to talk about the misbehaviour of Vadra as an assault on the
media. Mind you, Vadra just knocked off the mic and he didn’t assault the
reporter (Smita Prakash confirmed that on TV too). As long as the media defends
Rajdeep there is no reason they can claim any moral authority to complain about
assaults on reporters (in this case it wasn’t so). Vadra is a national scumbag
who is the perfect example of crony capitalism who recognises that his family
and party had turned India into a “Banana
republic”. It will take a while for this country to return to a normal
democracy. The CAG has also recently reported on fraudulent land deals
benefitting him abnormally. If properly prosecuted, there is no doubt Vadra
belongs in jail.
Of all the channels TimesNow was the one
screaming the most. Therefore, they must be reminded how their cowards behaved
when the revelations of fraudulent land deals first came to light. They were
spying on Vadra like cowards from a good distance. They were scared to get anywhere
near him while hounding all other politicians. This is what I described in “Arnaboxious: The Witch Hunter”
(October 2012):
Smita Prakash claims bravely that the
media didn’t do their jobs for 10 years on Vadra. Also remember, when the Tarun
Tejpal incident came out Arnab also claimed they also didn’t discuss Radiagate but covered-up for the
criminals. Around the same time Vadra’s deals were coming out who was Arnab
hounding? A certain Nitin Gadkari!
And Arnab did a 19-part witch-hunt of Gadkari to distract and cover-up for
Vadra’s deals. Cowards! SoniaG’s poodles had a vested interest in hounding
Gadkari against whom all allegations have fallen flat. Who ordered these poodles to hound Gadkari? Let me repeat what I
had quoted in October 2012:
“Apparently, a
strong word was conveyed that they should leave Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law well
alone. Ministers, including I&B boss Ambika Soni, are said to have reached
out to the media houses, gently suggesting that further interest in the doings
of Robert Vadra and his multifarious business activities would be most
unwelcome”.
The full report on how Gadkari was
hounded to cover-up the crimes of Robert Vadra during those days is recounted
in this report by Sunday Guardian:
That’s exactly what all the channels did.
They went after Gadkari to cover-up crimes of Vadra. Don’t let these scoundrels
and poodles in media tell you they have morals or principles. Even the lame
Hartosh Bal blurted out on TimesNow, during the discussions on #AreYouSerious,
that the media ignored Vadra earlier because of how Congress funded many of the
media outlets. When Rajdeep held a discussion to defend Vadra, Dr Subramaniam Swamy pointed out
journalists shouldn’t pretend or behave so “innocent” because there are quite a few that have benefitted
indirectly from deals involving DLF and other land deals. In particular, Shekhar Gupta passed off DLF chairman’s
bribery without batting an eyelid when the
DLF chairman KP Singh stated : “Can you run a property
business without bribing… In my terminology, what I call bribing, is in two
parts: One, where you give money to somebody to facilitate quicker disposal. Second, you give money, if somebody
asks you, to do a wrong job. Now in my terminology, bribing is to do a wrong
job, which I have never done in my life”.
I need not add KP Singh of DLF was
rewarded with a Padma Bhushan by the Congress govt. Rajdeep, ShekharG, Barkha
Dutt and many similar journos were also rewarded with Padma Shris. Suddenly,
these poodles are finding their voices against Vadra. It only means one thing;
the Congress is on its death bed. Else these poodles still wouldn’t dare rant
about Robert Vadra.
