Arnab's Hoax

On August 12 the Parliament finally settled to a reasonable debate over the Sushma Swaraj – Lalit Modi issue. Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge spoke uninterrupted for nearly an hour with questions for SS. All very fine! Then SS spoke amidst ruckus and noise, mostly by Congis. News channels showed most of Kharge’s speech. It is just when SS launched a scathing attack on Sonia Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi – the ChineseGandhis family that the MSM lost their pants and skirts and ran helter-skelter. Here’s what happened:

That is right. NDTV suddenly shifted to stock reports, IndiaToday and CNN-IBN to some road rage in Navi Mumbai and Timesnow to Privacy issues. The media’s Scaredy chicks wanted to avoid the shellacking of the Gandhis. And that too is what happened after the hounding of SS and Vasundhara Raje over the LKM issue. The moment LKM mentioned SoniaG the media went dead on the issue. But the stupid Congress made the mistake of extending it to Parliament and rioting and disrupting proceedings. Was it really a mistake? It wouldn’t appear so. We’ll find out.

That the Congress received a thrashing for their lies at the hands of SS and AJ (Arun Jaitley) would be an understatement. The evil Congress was exposed from RajivG to SoniaG’s sisters to RahulG. Allowing Warren Anderson of the Bhopal gas tragedy to escape in exchange for RajivG’s friend (and relative?) as also Quatrochi featured in the crimes of Congress in speeches by SS/AJ. SS stated the Gandhis had also received money from Quatrochi of the Bofors infamy. AJ even called the little duffer an “Expert without any knowledge” considering the latter blabbers on anything ignorantly (in this case his pre-scripted blabber was reported as a counter to SS by Rahul Kanwal and Hindustan Times. Guy is bad even at rote learning). We will pass all of this for another day as these are major crime-stories that can make multiple posts. Instead, let us rewind on how things came to such a pass.

It is normal and also desirable for the media to be adversarial to the govt of the day. But in India, our MSM has largely been adversarial to BJP regardless of whether they are in power or not. The entire MSM, like a box of parrots or a mischief of mice (Yes a group of mice is called “mischief”) started hounding SS-VR after a story by Timesnow. Now, the TOI group and others have been hounding BJP and their members for a very long time while protecting the sins of Congress and Sonia. Remember, TOI group in particular has carried fake stories from Rambo to the current nonsense. After BJP comes to power, they run fraudulent campaigns like “Christians under attack” and other frivolous crap. In this particular case the fraudulent campaign against SS-VR was a conspiracy hatched by and with Arnab Goswami of Timesnow and others followed like mice because they saw another chance to trash BJP and seek scalps of their ministers. It was nothing short of criminal. On his nightly ruckus called Newshour, Arnab was raging like his bottom was on fire:

In response to Arnab’s frequent fraudulent Witchhunts I have written a few posts. While writing those I still did not suspect his integrity. But his 3-week hounding off SS and VR smacked of a “Supari” Whackjob that was hard to explain. He called it #LalitGate urging viewers to trend it. #LalitGate never trended. I responded with a post called #ArnabGate (which trended world-wide). Here’s a quote from towards the end of that post:

“Arnab has a history of hounding people with an agenda of seeking scalps. There was the Nitin Gadkari hounding which lasted for a month. There was this N Sreenivasan hounding which lasted 21 days. There have been others too. In the case of Gadkari all of it turned out to be nothing but a “Supari” hit job. In case of Sreenivasan, many indicated the agenda was because of conflict between TOI and BCCI. Sreenivasan continues to be in some position or the other in Indian cricket. After the world cup he wanted to hound MS Dhoni out and got severely trashed on Twitter… the media and Congress claiming “moral” grounds is like Al Capone preaching Prohibition. All of Arnab’s mindless bitching has gotten nowhere. I am sure Arnab knows this and therefore he pounces on any and every little firecracker and screams “It’s a bomb, it’s a bomb”… At the end of it all, maybe in a year, when we thoroughly scrutinise every witch-hunt (going beyond news reporting) Arnab has carried out we will find most of them were damp squibs and the only real scandal would be ArnabGate”.

At the beginning of Kharge’s speech in LS Timesnow grandly carried a small banner on their screen – Timesnow impacts Parliament, implying Timesnow forced LalitGate discussion in Parliament. When the tide turned with SS’s speech – that banner disappeared. Arnab had taken a severe beating. And his rage was all over his channel in his nightly ruckus screaming that both BJP and Congress had played a fixed match. He howled that Congress did not ask the questions of SS that they should have asked. Really? Which questions? That ones that never existed in the first place or concocted by Arnab? So how did the Witchhunt of SS-VR start? SS mentioned P Chidambaram many times in her speech and alluded to PC being the one who framed Kharge’s questions that were also breast-fed to a TV channel with supposed dirt on her. Not the first time because we have also read reports that the great “coup report” by Shekhar Gupta was breast-fed to him by PC.

Based on the breast-feeding Arnab received from someone, he also had the audacity to demand that PM sack VR and SS. This moron thinks he can order PM to sack anyone; such is his ego and arrogance. Naturally, the beating Congress took in LS makes Arnab feel it’s a personal loss and defeat for him. IT IS! It is a major defeat for his hounding and slander. Such was the viciousness that Arnab even called VR’s son the “BJP Vadra” and his criminal reporters hounded VR and in one case even crashed into her convoy in Delhi. Not satisfied with mere hounding Arnab extended his vile nonsense with exceptional slander. Take a look:

Such was the hate-mongering by Arnab that he even accused VR of promoting/selling cancer to benefit Lalit Modi. This is his great independent journalism? This is the grand integrity he talks about? Clearly, Arnab was breast-fed by anti-BJP sources (Probably Congress) on stupid stuff. He built another case of VR and son owning a palace in Dholpur illegally. This was again spoon-fed to him by nonsensical claims in a presser by Jairam Ramesh. This is what AJ mocked in his speech in LS – That a court order giving ownership to VR’s son was not important but a Congress spokie blabbering crap was truth for Arnab and media channels. Arnab now has dinosaur eggs on his face for his fraudulent smear campaign and imaginary integrity:

And all this while claiming he has ALL the facts, that his team has VERIFIED everything thoroughly. The best trashing of the bogus claims Arnab made on LalitModi nexus came with the clarity on LKM’s status that Arun Jaitley laid out in the LS. Smear-campaigners like Arnab, his partners in Congress and other media colleagues kept on calling LKM a “fugitive” when it was evident to even ordinary men like me that he was not a fugitive when Sushma helped him out to meet his cancer-stricken wife. And worse, the criminals in the media went to the extent of claiming VR could be prosecuted for treason:

The Congress orchestrated this smear-campaign and Arnab was their vehicle – like a cigarette is the delivery vehicle for nicotine. Arnab became that poisonous vehicle. The Congress suffered more political damage than they estimated. The public, the industrialists and every sensible person on the street is disgusted at their vicious rioting in the Parliament over a frivolous issue. Arun Jaitley rightly pointed out that all the Congis wanted was to disrupt and halt the growth of India. I called it Stalling India and so did many others in the public domain. Congi wimps are now standing on Sonia’s queen-size ego and nothing else. The biggest hit was taken by SoniaG and RahulG – their reputation and that of their family lies in shambles. It will only get worse in days ahead. I am in no doubt about that.

As for Arnab, he is barking like a mad dog which has been trapped by the municipal van. His fake self-righteousness makes him scream even in his promos. He knows he has been licked and beaten badly. Only one consolation – “everybody takes a beating sometime”. The loss of credibility and his fake integrity exposed; is a heavy price for Arnab to pay for his slander-campaign. He now threatens Sushma and BJP that his game is not over and that he will expose them even more – that is not a journalist but a vengeful political pimp blabbering, somewhat like that guy from UP who wanted to make “Boti Boti” of Modi. Long before the truth came out in Parliament I was clear that at the end of the game the only Gate left will be ArnabGate. Arnab’s hoax has been badly exposed and he has been paraded Nekkid in Parliament and in public. He has cried wolf too often and lost any trust he had. Sushma Swaraj laced her LS speech with a perfect slap for Arnab – “Nation wants to know” and they know now. 

Dare Different

The Hitjobs BAR:

It started with a mild but failed attack on Smriti Irani and her education few weeks back. Modi must answer the BAR screamed. BAR is the lowest bar in Indian TV journalism (Barkha, Arnab, Rajdeep). Then they turned to Sushma Swaraj and kept up the hit-jobs for a few days. Modi must answer! Then they hit the bounty with Lalit Modi and Vasundhara Raje and they kept up their stupid attacks for nearly four weeks. Modi must answer! Arnab the clown even started demanding resignations and “ordering” the PM to sack Raje as if he was the Pope. The resignation-demanding business stopped after #Arnabgate trended worldwide. In between for spice they added Pankaja Munde. Modi must answer! – No resignation still. Like bowlers who went wicket-less for a whole Test series they kicked and screamed about LM and Raje till this happened:

LM threw a bomb by naming Sonia Gandhi. SUDDEN DEATH! All the media morons went totally dead as dodos over LM and Raje issue. The very mention of SoniaG makes them wet their pants and skirts. Modi must answer, morons? I don’t know why but I estimate media houses must have something to with funding from the West but I cannot be sure. Here’s the best part when LM exploded the Sonia bomb:

So the little cowardni had not guts to talk about SoniaG but says she substituted SG with Vadra. At other times the Congis claim Vadra is a private citizen but Congress defender Barkha “merged” Sonia and Vadra into one entity. Fantastic! And the BAR criminals also raked up Raje’s Dholpur palace property as a scam. Then this happened:

Jairam Ramesh was strutting around and claiming a scam on this. Once it turned out the property was transferred by a court to Raje & Co. the little cowardni from NDTV says it blunts the Congress attack. Thankfully, Modi doesn’t have to answer! She finds no crime in the lies and half-baked claims of J Ramesh and Surjit Bhalla rightly chastises her skulduggery in slyly protecting the Congress. What to do now? Let’s pick up a new thread!

So they pick up the Vyapam scam – an MP govt recruit scam. This has been going on since the days of Digvijay Singh when he was CM. And suddenly the resignation chant came again – this time for Shivraj Chouhan to resign. Remember, it was Chouhan who ordered the STF and later a court ordered SIT to investigate the scam. The BAR claims 40 deaths were connected to the Vyapam scam. Nobody tells you that the deaths supposedly related to the scam were from 2009 onward and half the deaths have happened prior to 2014. Diggy even used a fraudulent document and presented it to the SIT claiming Chouhan was directly involved in some 48 appointments in the scam. This is a criminal act by Diggy and amounts to forgery and perjury. Chouhan had threatened legal action but I’m not sure he is going to go through with it. And despite knowing the document was a fraud, Arnab gladly used it to do hitjobs on Chouhan. I hope the clown at TimesNow never talks about his so called “integrity” again.

In the Vyapam scam 2000 have been arrested of which it seems 1800 or so are people from Digvijay’s tenure. Is that why the man is personally interested in the case? He even went to SC demanding a CBI probe which the SC dismissed. Finally Chouhan has demanded a CBI probe yesterday. Regardless of CBI, STF or SIT the scam warrants speedy investigation and, more importantly, the criminals need to be punished. There are conflicting reports on the related deaths but regardless, those deaths that are murders must also be investigated and criminals prosecuted. Shivraj Chouhan does not appear to be personally involved and has not condoned any of these crimes. He is the one who started the investigations. But there is a severe warning from him – He cannot let MP become a state where goons and criminals operate with such freedom.

And that is what brings us to the core of this post – That criminals in India operate with impunity. They are either protected by politicians or if they are prosecuted, our courts ensure they take 786 years to hear and give out judgements. This is a shameful state of affairs.

Dare Different:

On most fronts ModiSarkar is doing quite well and there isn’t much to complain about which is why our media is trying to dig holes and get buried themselves. There is, of course, one important thing Modi said during the LS election campaign – That people not only want to throw out the Congress but they want the corrupt to be punished. This is where GOI appears reluctant to speed up even pending cases. There is Raja, Kanimozhi, Marans, Sonia and Rahul and probably many others. In contrast, they have showed sudden urgency in acting against Lalit Modi. The GOI supporters are also wary and some even against prosecuting SoniaG in the National Herald case because they fear it may gain her sympathy and bring her back to power. They relate the situation to that of IndiraG coming back to power in 1980. This is not only a bogus principle but extremely faulty logic.

Arun Jaitley is on record stating that if Congress returns the money to NH the case can be ended. Not the kind of words that one would like to hear from a Minister in a govt that has promised to prosecute the corrupt. Surprisingly, Congress now claims its running out of money and asks its Karyakartas to donate. And it would take Brahma to visit and convince me all the NH money only went to Congress and not individuals. It seems BJP is as scared of touching SoniaG as much as the media is scared of mentioning the Queen’s name. The comparison by supporters with the IndiraG era is faulty like I stated.

In 1977 the Janata Party (called Khichdi govt by IndiraG) came into majority against expectations. Congress still had a decent number, mostly from the South which didn’t face the brunt of Emergency. This Khichdi govt of multiple parties had many contenders who fought to be PM. There was Morarji Desai, Devi Lal, Chandra Shekhar, Charan Singh and maybe some more. It was Jaiprakash Narayan who appointed Morarji Desai PM and others accepted his decision. Predictably, this Khichdi govt botched up the prosecution of IndiraG and once she was out of jail (she was jailed for a few days) she sang a song to the greedy Charan Singh and promised to make him PM with Congress support. He obliged and withdrew from the Morarji govt. Thus Charan Singh became PM. Few months later IndiraG showed she had fooled Charan Singh and withdrew support and pulled his govt down. Elections were announced in 1980, that’s the year BJP was formed and people didn’t want another unstable, constantly fighting Khichdi. So they opted for IndiraG for stability.

Is that the case with ModiSarkar and current govt? It is the first time in independent India that a truly non-Congress govt has been elected with a clear majority of its own. Even without the NDA allies the BJP has clear majority. And Congress crimes and corruption are now known across India because of media, social media and other forms of communication. In 1980 India didn’t have TV in households and nor was there was SM. News and information travels much faster today than it ever did before. Everyone with a mobile camera is or is a potential journalist reporting from many corners of the country. Neither the Congress nor Sonia have any place to hide. The other parties with corrupt ministers from previous govts also do not have a place to hide. There is hardly a need to file new cases even. If GOI speeds up prosecution of existing cases in consultation with the CJI that itself would be a major achievement. Congress has a history of toppling govts whether 1977 or in the 1990s. This time they don’t see that chance and that’s why their wild, belligerent screaming inside and outside the parliament with lies and half-baked information.

I would never expect a Congress or a Khichdi (like DMK, JDU or RJD types) to prosecute the corrupt. I believe people only expect Modi to initiate this – not even the BJP as a party. And this is one call ModiSarkar must answer and the PM need not answer stupid, belligerent media crooks. I don’t expect any black money to come back and I’ve said that before. But acting against the corrupt is well within GOI’s power. Willing to dare different from all previous govts is what will send the right message.

Gandhi Bumps

David Headley came to India as a visitor. He found the best joker to guide him through hot spots in Mumbai – a Patsy who is the son of Mahesh Bhatt. The outcome of his recon is now well known. The Congis seem to have learned something from David Headley – Recon! They have also learned how to “organize accidents” from him.

I was in Montenegro 90 years ago. The place is what one would call idle bliss. When I was there I didn’t discover the beauty, the hills, the seaside and all that. It is located next to what is now called Kosovo. Since I missed all those spots we now have the benefit of someone who went for a “Recon” to Montenegro. Here’s a post card from heaven by AM Singhvi:

Hmmm! What was AMS doing in Montenegro? Obviously, he tells you how the place is for tourism and so you can assume he was there as a tourist. That tweet is from June 20. Around the same time street-thug Rajdeep Sardesai had also rushed to Montenegro to interview Lalit Modi, the former IPL guy. To me the whole IPL is a crime scene and every politician and businessman associated with it is a partner in the crime. So AMS was vacationing? Someone got a whiff of what he was probably fixing:

I think I would not be too wrong to estimate AMS was in Montenegro as a “fixer” who was fixing an “organized accident”. An accidental “bump” of the Gandhi-Vadra clan with Lalit Modi. Madhu Kishwar was pretty accurate in her tweet on June 24. On June 26 this is what LM tweeted:

See what I mean? An accidental bump? And he bumped into Robert and Priyanka separately at the same restaurant? It’s like one of those Bollywood movies where three people separated during childhood sing a song they knew from Youngistan and that suddenly unites them. The late Manmohan Desai would have made a movie out of this. Of course, there is that old uncle who taught the kids that song and he is around to remind them to sing it together again:

DLF was the sponsor of IPL during its initial years. So accidents happen. Our media never knows where the Gandhis frequently disappear abroad. But when they are abroad people bump into them accidentally – never in India though. So you have to wonder:

Why not! Our lives would be so drab without lucky coincidences. The question is, the Congress calls LM a “fugitive” yet the top family of the party seeks a meeting with him. I say “seeks” because I am convinced accidents never happen in a perfect world. And the little Gandhi-Vadra family is a perfect world. And I also believe AMS ensured it remains perfect. But suddenly there’s a twist in the tale:

So sources close to Priyanka deny her meeting LM. I wonder what sources India Today is talking about. Maybe they borrowed that AnkitLal from Barkha Dutt – currently the most reliable source for TV channels. And there’s that Johny called Randeep Sujrewala, a Congress spokie, who swore on the Bible with full responsibility:

Laughable jokers! One claims with full responsibility that the Vadras never met LM and the other confirms LM tweet but asks what one can do if someone appears before them. Oh yes! LM suddenly “appeared” before the Vadras like an angel. Hope he blessed the lovely couple. The Vadras bump into an angel from nowhere. The party morons earlier called LM a fugitive so the eternal liar-in-chief jumps in to ask if it is a crime to meet a “fugitive”:

No; there is no crime in meeting LM. It is just that all this clandestine operation wasn’t necessary to make it look like an accidental meeting. But there has to be a motive for all this organized accident. LM has been shooting left and right with scandalous stuff from his IPL diaries and everyone suspects he has juicy stuff on Shashi Tharoor and the Congress and Gandhis too. After all, it was after the Kochi IPL episode that the criminal “sweat equity” to Sunanda Pushkar (who later appeared innocent in the whole deal and paid with her life) that resulted in the hounding of LM and his escape to the UK. And it’s not just the Vadras that LM met. Congress  darling Barkha Dutt confirms he also bumped into the Gandhis – the Chinese Gandhis:

On being asked by someone why BD wasn’t doing any reporting on these clandestine meetings she claimed she had done so by RTing a Rediff article or tweet. That is how much our TV channels and MSM cover up for the Gandhi-Vadra clan. One does not know what went on in these meetings and they do not appear to be “accidents” considering AMS first did a recon and then Madhu Kishwar accurately reported the possible meeting.

We can only make an estimate. And I estimate that the meetings were to beg LM to keep a lid on some secrets of the Gandhi-Vadra family over issues concerning their links to IPL or some funds related to it. The media has completely washed out these meetings without asking a single question. And even if they were to ask any questions the doormats of Congress (Like Diggy or Surjewala) will come up with weird explanations to protect the “family”. They probably fear that if they do report something or ask questions they may have to pay a heavy price. Sonia Gandhi is not known for being kind. They know if she ever came back to power their necks will be on the block. The fear is still palpable. These are what I call Gandhi Bumps – they bump into everyone abroad and they also act as bumps for our media to hold their horses in fear.

PS: I have never been to Montenegro.
