Vijayvaani.com - BJP: Himalayan Shame

    • one is reminded of another story from Indian folklore:


      A renowned spiritual teacher felt his end approaching. He called his disciples and told them that because of previous karmas, he would be reborn as a piglet to a sow living in the ashram precincts. He asked his favourite disciple to immediately kill him so that he was released from the bondage of that lowly existence, and could proceed on a more exalted karmic journey. The disciple promised.


      When the litter was born, the disciple felt that he could not murder an absolute newborn. So he waited a while and on the eighth day, finally picked up a sharp knife and told the ashram inmates that he would now release their guru. But when he approached the sty, a familiar voice said: no, don’t kill me. I like it now!


      That, I think, sums up the story of the RSS requesting Advani not to press his resignation – the cardinal vices of greed, delusion and pride (lobh, moha, ahankaar) that Hindus are exhorted to overcome, have him in deep thrall. He cannot now be persuaded to leave; and until he does, BJP is destined to roll in the mud of the pigsty.

    • How can Jaitley, who used the media to project himself as master strategian throughout the electoral process, pouring water over the contributions of all other stalwarts and workers alike, and elevating only a flunkey market surveyer as equal, dare refuse to give an account of his performance. A man who cannot face his own party colleagues, a man who puts a holiday in Europe above the party, cannot be permitted to lord it over his colleagues in Parliament or anywhere else. It is astonishing that he thinks he deserves anything – other than the boot, that is.
    • After the eminently forgettable Gandhian Socialism, we now have another gem from the BJP – this time it is called Soft Hindutva.
    • I now feel BJP did not ditch Sri Rama. It was Sri Rama who realised that not Lotuses but Blooming Idiots were blossoming on the BJP pond, and ran for His life!     

    • Hindutva, in short, means Hinduizing the polity to ensure that the government of the day does not do anything to hurt the legitimate needs or sensibilities of the Hindu community.

    • Hindu dharma is innately affirmative and not exclusivist. Hence Hindus are unable to sustain hostility towards other communities after the immediate provocation for a flare-up is over
    • In my view BJP cannot begin to sort itself out unless Advani is removed from the headship of the organisation. He should be asked to quit his Lok Sabha seat (and take protégé Varun Gandhi with him into the sunset), and the party should ask Narendra Modi to contest Gandhinagar and take over as Leader of the Opposition in Parliament.

Togadia unhappy with internal bickering in BJP - Patna - Cities - The Times of India

  • tags: no_tag

    • PATNA: Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) international general secretary Praveen Togadia said on Sunday that he was unhappy with "antarik kalah(internal bickering)" in the BJP at the top level, but he seems to have become a prodigal son of the "sangh parivar".

    • Whether RSS has gone cold on VHP is in the womb of the future, but the political and cultural lines of the VHP have seemingly become divergent, at least for the present.

    • VHP senior leader and former MP Ram Vilas Vedanti has called for the expulsion of Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi and Shahnawaz Husain from the BJP as the party cannot win the hearts of the Hindus till these Muslim faces of the party are not shown the door.
    • Demanding the installation of Varun Gandhi as the UP BJP president, Vedanti has claimed that Varun had lit the candle of Hindutva,
    • Meanwhile, a news item in Rashtriya Sahara (20/6) claims that Modi's role in the Gujarat riots has almost been proved.

Organiser - BJP should stick to the time-tested ideology

  • BJP should stick to the time-tested ideology
  • tags: no_tag

    By Anand Mishra ‘Abhay’
    • Everybody is fully aware that nearly most of the television channels are anti-Hindu, unpatriotic and serfs to their foreign masters.
    • This is the state of discipline in a party, which had a high place in the mind of general public and also in its opponents for its reputation as the most disciplined party in the political field. If the top is so much free for all in its unthinkable sad state of affairs what the bottom can expect from the top.

    • It appears that they are so much frustrated due to so-called defeat in the recent Lok Sabha elections that they have lost either their equilibrium of mind or have become a prey to defeatism.
    • To materialise defeat into victory certain steps are essential to be taken in order to boost the morale of the workers at low level and committed vote bank of the party in general.
    • The required steps can be summarised in the following manner:


    • The first and foremost need is to regain self-confidence and maintain discipline in the party at any cost.
    • Who does not know what Star News, NDTV or IBN7 are? Then why to oblige and enhance their importance by giving them any bites? They should be boycotted for some months to set them right and bring their haughty minds to ground.
    • Secondly stick to the time-tested ideology that raised party tally from 2 to 182 in just sixteen years of its birth.
    • Congress tally doubled in UP not due to Rahul Gandhi or Priyanka Vadra factor, but the strategic voting pattern of Muslims played a great role in it.
    • Thirdly BJP forthwith refrain from Roza Aftar Dawats. It has tarnished its image to a great extent and also annoyed its committed voter to a greater extent.

    • BJP leaders should also refrain themselves from offering chadar on the mazars of Sufis.

    • Forthly BJP has to get rid of becoming a carbon copy of the Congress that too unreadable.

    • I reiterate it will take at least 40 quarters — that’s a decade — for America to recover.
    • I still maintain the US is going the banana republic way what with a national debt of more than $10 trillion, which is more than 80 per cent of its national income. Not only that the budget deficit is skyrocketing; it’s expected to reach more than 10 per cent soon.
    • The expected inflation is going to rip apart the society and the largest selling item in the last quarter was handguns and rifles.
    • I am waiting for the creditrating agencies like S&P to downgrade the US economy like other developing countries and prove their independence from the sole superpower.
    • Unlike the Great Depression of the 1920s, the current crisis for the West is not just an economic crisis. It has a dimension of demography and conflict (ongoing war with radical Islam) to it. Demographic, because Europe is slowly fading away from the global map. It used to have more than 20 per cent of the global population during the First World War, and now has less than 11 per cent. What’s more, it’s expected to shrink to three per cent in as many decades.
    • In the case of US, the crisis is more severe due to its declining savings rate and a long-term tendency to nationalise families and privatise government.
    • Social security and Medicare system in US is classic case of nationalising families.
    • Such a declining Empire is dangerous to deal with. To start with, it does not want to accept the fact that it is a declining Empire.

       

      Plus, it wants to retain its sole power status when it realises that its writ does not any more hold good. It tries to bully India.
    • Islamabad always has a peculiar way of coming to discussion on any issue.

       

      They keep a gun on their own head and argue with others. That is, they always threaten others with catastrophe if money is not given to them. This is the most sophisticated begging anywhere you can see in international relations.
    • The next thing the declining empire does is to cringe and appease. The speech by Obama in Cairo is of that variety.
    • The third thing a declining power does is to pressure others to sacrifice on its behalf to buy peace with bullies.
    • What is in Indian interest is the continuation of civil war in Pakistan for, say, another ten to twenty years — ambient conflict — sort of auto-cannibalism which will be a dynamic disequilibria — situation.
    • Other option is to have at least three or so states created out of that entity.

    • When the media, especially the Islamic apologists, say that Islam is a religion of peace and brotherhood, the first thing that crosses my mind is Taqiyya. Ahem, err… what’s this taqiyya.  In short, it is the Islamic licence to lie.
    • Taqia is also used in hoodwinking Hindu girls into conversion. 
    • `To me, my religion.  To you, yours’.
    • What they do not say is that these ayat was used by Mohammed to fool the pagans of Medina who had the upper hand..
    • Those who disbelieve are Kafirs.  Kafirs should be killed or converted.  If you can’t do both, trouble them to the max.

      “बबलू कुमार दीपक”, यह नाम आप में से कुछ ही लोगों ने सुना होगा, यह सज्जन मुम्बई सीएसटी स्टेशन पर 26/11 के हमले के वक्त ड्यूटी पर थे।

    •  

      “बबलू कुमार दीपक”, यह नाम आप में से कुछ ही लोगों ने सुना होगा, यह सज्जन मुम्बई सीएसटी स्टेशन पर 26/11 के हमले के वक्त ड्यूटी पर थे। श्री दीपक रेलवे में अनाउंसर हैं और उस काली रात को दूसरे अनाउंसर श्री विष्णु झेण्डे के साथ दूसरे अनाउंसमेंट केबिन में उनकी ड्यूटी थी।

    • घोषणा सुनकर आतंकवादियों ने रिजर्वेशन काउंटर और अनाउंसर केबिन की तरफ़ गोलियाँ दागनी शुरु कीं । झेण्डे ने केबिन की लाईट बुझा दी और नीचे छिप गये, हालांकि गोलीबारी से केबिन के काँच फ़ूट गये लेकिन झेण्डे सुरक्षित रहे, इसी प्रकार दीपक ने भी अपना केबिन भीतर से बन्द कर लिया और टेबल के नीचे छिप गये।
    • इन दोनों व्यक्तियों के दिमागी सन्तुलन और जान की परवाह न करते हुए लगातार अनाउंसमेंट के कारण उस दिन कई जानें बचीं।
    • इस घटना के कुछ ही दिनों के बाद श्री विष्णु दत्तात्रय झेण्डे और एक अन्य हवलदार श्री झुल्लू यादव को रेल मंत्रालय की ओर से दस-दस लाख का ईनाम मिल गया, लेकिन बबलू दीपक को सभी ने भुला दिया, जबकि दोनों अनाउंसरों की भूमिका, ड्यूटी और हमले के वक्त खतरा एक समान था।
    • बबलू दीपक ने फ़िर से अप्रैल 2009 में एक स्मरण पत्र मंडल रेल प्रबन्धक को भेजा, तब कहीं जाकर 5 मई को उनका जवाब आया और 7 मई 2009 को यानी हमले के 5 माह बाद बबलू दीपक को 500 रुपये नगद का इनाम और एक सर्टिफ़िकेट दिया गया।

How Islam is Enforced at Seriously Sandeep

    • The Bandra police has filed a case against Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan for allegedly making comments about Prophet Mohammad but the actor said it is a writing error and not a thought or view that he believes in.
    • If anything, he has spoken with polite deference to Mohammad. And this as an extremely passing statement in the entire interview in a magazine catering to the severely dumbed-down. But the Islam-in-Danger brigade’s threat worked. As always.
    • said that there is no more important figure in history than Prophet Mohammad. “Being a Muslim and standing up for the tenets of Islam is my most important agenda,” he said.
    • And no Pink Panties (TM) to support poor Shahrukh Khan.

    • these six families have been running from pillar to post to attain Indian citizenship.
    • Facing harassment on the other side of the border, both by neighbours and authorities, these families crossed over to India in 1995.
    • They say they were subjected to humiliation by the residents and authorities in Pakistan. And it became unbearable when the “humiliation passed on to their female members”. “Females in the families had to face a lot of problems and so we had to move to India,” says Vershi.

    • “We told them that either keep us in India or kill us,” said Raniben, Vershi’s wife.
