Day 401



Well, I don’t know how to start today. Actually, I’m neither in mood to discuss the India China tension nor about the Bihar political crisis. According to me, Bihar political crisis is over now. The drama which happened last week was unpredicted but has clearly signalled that it was a fight on ideological differences. Most importantly it clearly sent out the message that anything can happen in Indian politics. Secondly, the ongoing tension between India and China is taking new turns every day. Before the meeting of Mr Ajit Doval with the Chinese president, the Chinese state media showed a soft corner. But after the meeting, the Chinese media is saying that India has to withdraw its troops from Doklam.
Well, there is something else in my mind. Actually, recently NIA conducted raids at the premises of various separatist leaders in Jammu and Kashmir. A detailed list showing the money laundry from Pakistan proves that all the separatist leaders are on Pakistani pay roll for creating the atmosphere of tension in the Kashmir valley. Recently seven separatist leaders were arrested by the NIA in connection of alleged terror funding. Now they have found a protest calendar issued and signed by separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani. This calendar was found from the house of Son-in-law of Syed Ali Shah Geelani. The said calendar has everything marked in the month of august 2016 when stone pelting incidence following the killing of Burhan Wani. It also indicated that blocking of roads leading to secretariat in Srinagar and tehsil offices so that no employee can go to office for duty.
The disclosure made by NIA is a serious issue. Actually, it’s very easy for Pakistan to get these types of leaders who can work for them for minimal fees. Pakistan knows it very well that it can’t defeat India in a full fledge war against India. But sending terrorists in to India by infiltration is an easy job for Pakistan. Rest of the things are being done by the leaders like Syed Ali Shah Geelani. Actually the concept of All Party Hurriyat Conference was made with the intention to promote the misconception given by the Pakistani government that Kashmir isn’t part of India. Although the basic thought of Hurriyat Conference is of anti India and pro Pakistan and they are the sole representative of Kashmir. But they are always creating problem for Indian army. Mode of operation is that they misguide the youths and ladies and kids that if they pelt stone on Indian army then they will be protected by the Hurriyat leaders and they are often paid cash for stone pelting. They are told that Indian soldiers can’t hit back the civilians so they encourage misbehaving with Indian soldiers by beating them along with stone pelting. Well, it’s a good break through by NIA in getting the evidence. Now it’s time to nail them down with the solid proofs.

Now the through enquiry and findings will disclose all the financial activities of Hurriyat Party Syed Ali Shah Geelani. All the leaders of Hurriyat Parties will try to create chaos in the state by giving furious statements. Their statements will be produced in more aggressive manner. If not by the media then by their supporters and middle level leaders of Hurriyat Conference. This is what I think. These leaders have been doing this since the inception of Hurriyat Conference. They have always targeted the people of the remote area to gain their political wills. I hope that NIA has already taken this into consideration and they must be having their back up plans. As far as I think, these leaders won’t sit quietly. They know that their Pakistani boss won’t come to their rescue. So, they will try to create tension in the Kashmir valley.
These leaders enjoy special treatment just because of Article 370 of the Indian constitution. That’s why these leaders always give furious statements against Indian army and police. They forget that due to Indian army and police they are safe. Their body guards are from Jammu and Kashmir police but in spite of that they don’t miss any chance to spit venom. Now even Pakistan can’t come in their support because this will prove the link between Hurriyat leaders and Pakistani government. At this point of time, Pakistani government won’t like to have any link with Hurriyat leaders. Well, I think that there should be some hard decision taken by the Indian government not only to curb the link between Hurriyat leaders and Pakistan but to cut that link. I think there should be amendment in the Indian parliament about Article 370. I think Article 370 should be removed from Jammu and Kashmir.

Day 400



I’m feeling happy today because today I’m writing 400th post on my blog. Actually, this would have been done earlier but laziness and unwillingness to write forced to have this delay. Sometimes, I really wonder that how come I was silent for two and half years. But I’m not getting any answer. Anyway that’s the thing of past. I can’t change it now.
But I’m sad today because of the recent political changeover in Bihar. The change of coalition has increased the felony of RJD workers. This act is really to condemn. They have blocked the Mahatma Gandhi Bridge which connects North Bihar to Patna. After that, they have attacked the DM of Saran district and physically hit him along with attack on SP while snatching AK 47 riffle from SP’s bodyguard. Now this really shows that they are in mood of destruction in the state. At various places they have blocked the road and had disturbed the normal traffic. Well, a PIL was filed with Patna High Court by the RJD against the Bihar Governor, Mr Keshri Nath Tripathi for inviting Nitish Kumar to form the government and ignoring RJD. The hearing was supposed to be before the floor test of Nitish Kumar but it has been postponed till Monday. Well, Nitish Kumar along with BJP has won the floor test by 131 votes. RJD – Congress alliance got 108 votes. This clearly proves that Nitish Kumar is still the Chief Minister.
Well, I’m worried about the award returning gang. In 2015, few so called intellectual people returned their awards to the central government. They said that intolerance has increased in India after Narendra Modi became Prime Minister. Surprisingly they didn’t return the award money to the government. This entire award returning drama was planned by the Congress party because the awards were given by the Congress government. Anyway the impact of this award returning drama was that Congress gained in Bihar assembly election. These so called intellectuals, writers and socialites who had returned their awards were happy that secular forces like BJP were stopped from forming the government. But now, they are nowhere. They have returned their awards and have lost Bihar now. What will they do now? Actually, now they can’t return the award.

Day 399



Suddenly there was dramatic change in the politics of Bihar. Out of blue moon, Nitish Kumar resigned as the Chief Minister of Bihar. As I have stated in my blog titled Day 392 dated 18 July 2017, something will happen within ten days. Silence of Nitish Kumar was indicating something unexpected. Exactly after 8 days, his move astonished everyone. I don’t know how to react now but this has worked in favour of Nitish Kumar. The blame game has started in the state as it was expected. Allegations and counter allegations will go on for at least a fortnight. I’m just thinking that what will happen tomorrow? From tomorrow the monsoon session of Bihar assembly is going to start.
As I have written in my previous posts also that Lalu Prasad Yadav and Nitish Kumar both are rigid this time over their issues. Lalu won’t allow his son Tejashwi to resign and Nitish won’t compromise on his clean image and about zero tolerance about corruption. That thing has turned true. It was my thought that Nitish Kumar will resign that will lead to fall of government and then with the help of BJP he will make the government again. That thought has turned in to reality. It was beyond my wildest imagination that all these will happen so fast. Nitish Kumar resigned last night and immediately Sushil Kumar Modi met the governor and gave the support letter in favour of Nitish Kumar. Today morning, the governor invited Nitish Kumar and Sushil Kumar Modi to swear in as Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister.  
Obviously, Lalu Prasad Yadav is furious on Nitish Kumar. He is blaming Nitish for breaking the grand alliance. According to Lalu Yadav, Nitish Kumar is a traitor who has turned the side just to save his chair. He is even saying that Nitish Kumar is accused in a murder case and the judicial case in pending at Patna High Court against Nitish Kumar. This is bigger crime than the corruption. Now JD (U) is saying that there is nothing like this against Nitish Kumar and he is having clean image. All the charges being framed by RJD is baseless.  Well this type of things will go on. This issue won’t die so soon. As soon as the news of Nitish Kumar’s resignation was out and BJP supporting him was out, party workers of RJD began to block the roads connecting North Bihar to Patna. Lalu Yadav has said that very soon he will file a case in Supreme Court against Bihar Governor, Mr Keshri Nath Tripathi for not inviting RJD to form the government after Nitish Kumar resigned yesterday evening. RJD is the largest party in the Bihar assembly then how could he ignore the largest party in the assembly and invite second largest party to form the government. Tejashwi Yadav too is furious with Nitish Kumar. Well, according to me, I anticipated that these type of things will happen if Nitish Kumar breaks the alliance and resign from his post. My suggestion was to have fresh election in the state. But BJP joined hands with Nitish Kumar to form the government and to avoid the costly affair of election.
From tomorrow, monsoon session will start for Bihar assembly. It’s obvious that it will be filled with chaos and shouting. Tough thing for Nitish Kumar will be proving the majority in this chaotic situation in the assembly. It’s clear that RJD legislators won’t sit quietly in the assembly. Now Lalu Yadav will play the sympathy card across the state for his son. Tejashwi Yadav will be projected as the targeted one not only by the Nitish Kumar but as well as CBI, Income Tax and ED as well. Indeed, Nitish Kumar has saved his image and his chair by changing the side. But indirectly he has given this golden opportunity to Lalu Yadav to build up a launch pad for Tejashwi. Still we have two and half years for election in Bihar. Let’s see what happens in the near future.

Day 398



I know that yesterday I initialised by post by saying that I’ll write about two topics. But I wrote about one only. Actually, there were so many things happening at the diplomatic level which led me to write on one topic only. Well, today is 18th anniversary of Kargil war. The entire nation is paying their tribute to the heroes of the Kargil war who sacrificed their lives in defending the country and pushing back the Pakistani army along with the militants having back up support of Pakistani army. Kargil Vijay Diwas is celebrated after Indian army captured the last post on 26 July 1999.
Well, the entire planning to capture the critical posts on the Indian side was orchestrated by the then Pakistani Army chief, General Parvez Musharraf. Well, the high altitude posts from both the sides are very tough to manage from both sides of LOC in Kashmir. But General Parvez Musharraf masterminded the capturing the Indian posts in advance. Due to which the Pakistani army captured the posts before the snow was cleared. They positioned Kashmiri and Afghanistani militants at the forward posts so that it can be easily proven that Pakistani army don’t have any role in the infiltration. Although throughout the war, Pakistani government said that Pakistani army isn’t playing any role. The Kashmiri militants have occupied posts of Indian army. But later on, Pakistani government gave gallantry awards to two Pakistani soldiers which removed all doubts that Pakistani army was involved in Kargil war.
Actually, Kargil war is still livid in my memory. I still remember the historic bus service through which the then Indian Prime Minister, Mr Atal Bihari Vajpayee, went to Lahore. Delhi Lahore bus service was started after that historic tour of Mr Vajpayee. I watched it on television. How Mr Vajpayee got reception at the Wagah border at the Pakistani side. But one thing which was very absurd which was pointed out was the absence of then General Parvez Musharraf of the Pakistani army. According to the protocol, along with the host Prime Minister, presence of the Pakistani army General while receiving Indian Prime Minister at that time. But by the end of April and starting of May, the real intention of Parvez Musharraf came in to lime light. Pakistani army and Kashmir militants occupied all the important strategic points of the Indian army before May.
This was discovered by the patrolling party led by Capt Saurabh Kalia with the help of local shepherd. At that time, the major misconception amongst the Indian army was that the infiltration was of Kashmir militants. They were unaware about the area and the nature of infiltration. After the alertness of Capt Saurabh Kalia, the Indian army came to know about the nature of infiltration in about 130 sq. Km – 200 sq. Km. Then the Indian government started Operation Vijay in which Indian army mobilised its 2,00,000 troops. The war went for two months. The war costs lives of 527 brave soldiers of Indian army and 1363 wounded soldiers. Indian air force launched Operation Safed Sagar to assist Indian army to rescue the Indian posts across the LOC.
On 18th anniversary of Operation Vijay, I pay my tribute to all those brave soldiers who couldn’t come back to their homes for our country.

Day 397



Well, I’m confused today about the topic. Actually, I have two topics today. Obviously, one is about the current tension between India and China. Second one is about Kashmir. I don’t know how to start. But I have to start. Let’s start with India China relationship. Well, as per news articles, Indian Prime Minister Mr Narendra Modi wished Chinese president and Chinese prime ministers on their birthdays. Actually, this news was a surprise for me. I don’t understand the logic behind this act of Mr Modi. He had wished them through Chinese blogging website. In the present tough time, where China is blaming India and trying to take undue political as well as diplomatic advantages, the greeting from Mr Modi is looking confusing for me.  
Now even American foreign intelligence agency is saying that China is doing coercive and assertive practices which indicate something mischievous. American foreign intelligence agency has issued a statement which states that US navy surveillance aircraft was intercepted by two Chinese J10 planes in unsafe manner in disputed East China Sea. Taiwan, Malaysia, Brunei, Vietnam and Philippines have terrestrial dispute with China. Japan and China are constantly in dispute over naval border issues and both of them have tension for a chain of islands in East China Sea. Chinese activities were same with all the countries just like what it is doing with India. I don’t understand what it really wants? Does it want to show that it’s the superpower in the south East Asia? As I have already said in yesterday’s blog that the road construction at the tri junction at the border will be a strategic win for Chinese army. It’s true that the road construction will allow Chinese army not only to have easy access to the north eastern states of India but it will allow Chinese army to enter West Bengal also. In addition to this, they can directly go to Thimphu, capital of Bhutan.
Now the Chinese government is blaming America also. China has advised America to stop unfriendly, unsafe and unprofessional activities. American foreign intelligence agency said that 2 Chinese planes intercepted American plan in the international air space between East China Sea and Yellow sea. But the Chinese government is blaming American air force and defending Chinese pilots. According to Chinese authorities, 2 pilots of J10 planes were performing their duties which were right, legal and necessary because the American surveillance aircraft was inside the Chinese aerial territory. But the American agencies are saying the area which was west of Korean peninsula. I’m really confused because China has started blaming everyone in the world. I’m repeatedly saying that now China wants to be the superpower country in the world. That’s why Chinese government is messing with everyone.
It’s true that if the war broke out between India and China then China will be the first one to start firing. For the last one month, Chinese government is issuing diplomatic as well as military statements just to prove it innocent. It’s trying to provoke India so that in name of defending Chinese territory, China could start the war. But I must praise the patience of Indian army and Indian government. Well, I think that the solution has to be taken by peaceful talk but this time I doubt that China is in mood to talk. Actually, the Chinese government is bit confused now. There will be NSA level meeting of BRICS countries.

Day 496

  JAI SHRI RAM   Actually, I thought to write this post on 22 nd January itself, but I was busy whole day in watching the live broadcas...
