Usually I make it a point to avoid this power broker moonlighting as a journalist but this popped up last night in my screen .
The panelists seem interesting with more interesting things to say especially Tavleen Singh who went so far as to advocate the assassination of Fauji Foundation Generals but by far the most interesting panelist was ex Ambassador Vivek Katju who kept insisting he warned the recent Jabar train massacre in Balochistan was directly blamed on India by Fauji Foundation in language never used before repeatedly referring to a news article he penned for The Indian Express.
He asks why the Indian foreign ministry didn't take cognizance of this development taking our close friends & allies especially in the west & Gulf Arab states into confidence assuring them we weren't behind this but if Paxtan uses this as a pretext for retaliation , they'd pay a heavy price.
He then went on to further lament a lack of strategic thinking & culture within us as a people comparing our responses in such situations to you know who in similar situations. Makes one wonder what exactly was he doing all these years in the foreign ministry then.
Or are we to understand that there are a multiplicity of views there too where the babooos who do indeed take the initiative are usually faced with a dhoti class who's impervious & impenetrable to sense & logic (concerned with only their constituency & re election apart from obviously how can the dhotis palm be greased better ), who then lose whatever interest they have in the said subject & become essentially another cog in the wheel.

This is what is referred to a classic case of hypocrisy. It's not as if this bastard & others of his ilk including that pimp Kutta are unaware of the nature of the beast , it's their constant underplaying of this nature of the beast to disarm the ordinary reader who 99/100 times is an ordinary middle class Hindu till they can do it no more is what I find infuriating. At least this one had the decency to be candid so what if it's only an exception before he goes back to his original persona .
In kutta's case that bastard after his "boys will be boys " open defecation apart from rooting for buxom babe Swasti's "we want a stable Paxtan , because " last night went on coolly to inform his viewers on another episode of CTC that of all the CoAS we've seen in Paxtan the present one is an Islamist like no other including Zia who had a different upbringing what to speak of whiskey guzzlers like Yahya or regular tipplers like Ayub , Musharaf etc .
Are we to understand it took a massacre of innocent tourists after inspecting their ID cards , checking for their foreskin , getting them to recite the Kalma before shooting 35 of them taunting the survivors to convey the message to Modi with body cams on their person to understand the basic truth which in spite of being in the business for 4 + decades he couldn't , even after hearing the speech of the Islamist which he & his staff promptly set off to whitewash ?
