Genocide memories

Neighboring Office is of a Media House that is now foraying into Electronic Media. Today the News Editor drops in for a Coffee and of course some gup-shup.

Me: Yaar seriously should the Media campaign against the Aadhar Card.... on one Channel the Anchor was advising Indians not to link their Bank Accounts to Aadhar Cards... saying Banks can do nothing if you do not link your account..

Editor: Wrongly put .. they should not have campaigned

...but provided the info objectively .. if you do link the benefits to the cause and oneself and if you do not what damage to the cause and self !!

M: Absolutely ....you are in the business of News and Views...not campaigning ..be it for TRPs..RaGa keeps harping on GST ... does he know Nehru Era.... 17 taxes and 23 Cesses..

E: Listen no one takes him seriously ... now in response to ... Who Tweets for Rahul... he put a Video Clip of his Dog doing a trick for a treat and said the Dog tweeted for him..

M: And Twitterati took him to the cleaners..made fun if him. Don't we know he is spoon fed...why even to pen an Orbituary he needs help...and Hemanta Biswas literally made him look like a fool.. he reminded RaGa when he was in Congress and he came to talk about the Assam problem with RaGa and RaGa was preoccupied feeding this dog biscuits...

E: But seriously RaGa needs to distance himself and Party from PC's Azaadi comment..

M: PC is a Lawyer and he has the art of saying it and not saying it in a statement ......he will call you a fool and somewhere hidden in the statement will be ...Phool also means flower...seems the Rohingiyas being allowed to settle in Jammu was a step in the Azaadi of Jammu... otherwise don't you find settling Rohingyas in Jammu odd...

E: Was surprised by PC's comment that if as FM he was ordered to undertake Demo he'd have resigned... fact is if by a Miracle for some political goal if Sonia ordered him to do it... he'd have Demonitized 1000 ..500 and even 100 to please Madam.

M: In Gujarat....seems Congress has realized it doesn't stand a chance ..now they are taking satisfaction in tomtoming ... we are giving  BJP  a tough fight on BJP's turf...

E: But BJP must not get complacent ... maybe Congress will now play the underdog to get sympathy..

M: Like many are pitying Rahul's dog Piddi who has to do circus tricks for biscuits...

E: What really worries me... Javed Akhtar defending Islam Shahjahan & Akbar is Liberalism ... Swami Avidyanath talking about Ram is Bigotry..

M: Congress has injected huge ammount of Venom and now even without knowing many of us feel Hindusim is Bigotry.

E: Very much like post Blue Star Congress injected venom against Sikhs ...every Sikh was looked upon as a Terrorist..

M: 31st October I Gandhi was assasinated and then the carnage began....

E: Congress keeps on beating its chest on 2002...forgets the biggest blot is 1984 and Rajiv's Big Tree Analogy..

M: And as fate would have it his son is cutting the branch he is perched upon.... this is how fate works..

We both shake our heads somberly and there is silence... those dastardly days replaying in my  mind.... and I am sure in the mind of my Guest....
