Paki in government advert

This is the ultimate joke on the nation. The paper which claims to be the biggest in the world and aims to be the best (sic) has done the worst possible thing. In collusion with the women and and child development ministry it has published a pix of a Paki armed forces man in an advert aimed at stopping female foeticide. Is is just a goof up or something to do with its Aman Ki Asha campaign? There needs to be a thorough probe for the involvement of the newspaper as well and not just the ministry which is headed by one of the most inefficient minister.

New NSA

What is the logic behind the appointment of Shiv Shankar Menon as the new National security Advisor? He is not a security expert, not an intelligence expert, not anyone who is familiar with the Indian security and intelligence appratus. Why has he been foisted upon the country like this? The only expertise that he has been adept at is his hobnobbing skills with the foreign countries and agencies.
Maybe the government wants to prioritise these foreign powers reach, rather than appointing someone who has the required resume. The appointment must have received a roud of applause from the foreign powers.

M K Narayanan's hacking troubles

I thought that Indians were the experts at IT and everything related to computers. We have been left behind in everything. And since when have the Chinese overtaken us in this field as well. Not everything is well when our own NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR says that top level and most protected computers were being hacked into. That too by the CHINESE. Give me a break. Smells like a conspiracy with big brother in the US watching.

Spooks should be policed

Vice-President Hamid Ansari's contention that intelligence agencies in the country need to be policed is a valid one. We live in a democracy and the elected representatives need to wield the greatest power of supervision. Over each and every arm of government machinery. This has been and is being done in any mature democracy like the USA and the UK, from which our constitution too takes a lot of inspiration.
The intelligence operatives desire to remain free of such governmental control of a Parliamentary oversight committee is nothing but an effort to keep operating without check. The intelligence agencies of this country completely liable to be held accountable for utilisation or misutilisation of the tax payers money. This is a move that will have far reaching repercussion. The intelligence agencies will be made accountable for each and every failure and will not operate in a nether world of their own. This control will also mean that their use for political purposes will become more difficult, if not stopped altogether.

The bretheren

The complete failure of flight controls at Delhi airport has been blanketed out by a national newspaper. Guess why?
The owner of the paper reportedly got a call. And his association with the group that runs the airport is well known. Can we still trust the media to give out the correct news?

Aarushi again

It has been proved correct that the CBI's earlier decision to give a clean chit to Aarushi Talwar's father in the much-publicised and much-maligned double murder of last year was WRONG. The CBI too now seems to be treading on the path of infamous theory propounded by the Uttar Pradesh police.
The narco analysis ofRajesh Talwar, though inadmissiable in a counrt of law in India, has been requested in an effort to question him under the influence of drugs. The CBI, it seems, is hopeful of some leads from a drugged Talwar. What does this establish??
