Offstumped – Center Right Indian Politics

based on Dharma, Liberalism and Nationalism

Affirmative Inaction

IF THIS IS A FORMULA

“It is a complex issue, both sides have their views,”

THEN

THIS IS A PREDICTION

“Sometime in the future 2 Nations shall go to war, and one shall win”

The first quote folks was apparently Madam’s Little Lamb on the Reservation Issue during the Rae Barelli campaign, the second quote was Woody Allen taking a satirical dig at Nostradamus.

The similarities are striking !

Notice how the media has elevated this rather passing remark to “You Know Who’s Formula”.

http://www.telegraphindia.com/1060515/asp/nation/story_6224475.asp

The Prime Minister and Sonia Gandhi are believed to favour call for a You Know Who’s Formula “middle path” on the Other Backward Classes quota, but Arjun Singh refused to bend today.

A source close to the Prime Minister said that although he and Sonia haven’t yet spoken their minds on the quota, their views were “broadly” summed up by a remark that You Know Who had made during the Rae Bareli campaign.

“It is a complex issue, both sides have their views,” said You Know Who, MP from Amethi

So it is already happening folks, and we thought it was just the sycophants in the Party but now the mainstream media has a pet theme to go ga-ga about, so be prepared to listen to the drumbeat on how Madam’s Little Lamb is god’s gift to Indian Politics.

So while terrorists brazenly attack Political Rallies in Jammu and kill Hindus the Government, the Left of Center Media, the Communists and their minions (the Teestas and the Aamirs) are only AFFIRMATIVELY INACTIVE.

So why isnt Teesta out there on the streets of Jammu protesting the commmunal killings ?

Why isnt Aamir full of outrage and offense over the selective killing of people of one community ?

Why arent we seeing editorials, op-ed columns over how the Secular Fabric of the nation is under threat ?

Why arent we seeing the Center rush Jaiswal to Jammu to take stock of the situation first hand and moving the Supreme Court to force the J&K Government to take extraordinary measures ?

Why is the whole world not up in arms that it is Ghulam Nabi Azad’s responsibility ?

Offstumped Bottomline: This Affirmative Inaction is no good Dr. Singh, especially when elements within your government are bending over backwards Affirmatively for Action on issues which are neither strategic to the Nation’s interests nor pressing.

AS FAR AS THE MEDIA IS CONCERNED AS USUAL, BADLY OFFSTUMPED FOR HOPPING ON THE SUCK UP TO YOU KNOW WHO BANDWAGON
