The Lamb and the Wolf
I am surprised that Congress High Command agreed to throw the lamb Rahul before the Wolf Arnab Goswamy of TIMESNOW.They should have chosen friendly channel like Pranav Roy or Barakha Datt of ndtv.They knew that RahulG is thouroughly unprepared to face the toughman Arnab Goswamy who was ready with his questions to blow off the lid from the head of Rahul.This was his first one to one interview in the last 10 years.Congress failed to gauge the readiness of their V.P.with the baggage of 10 years of corruption,misgovernance,policy paralysis,economic slow down and price rise.Congress did injustice to Rahul.This interview was not a speech before the closex and captive AICC where every one was bound to clap.
Rahul either evaded the questions or called the questions as superficial and showed reluctence to answer or where he answered,he proved disaterous.On the question of taking on to Narendra Modi,he failed to take the bull by its horn.He was evasive and reluctent showed lack of confidence.However,on Godhara riots,he alleged Modi had engineered the killings.On the counter question if he had any proof of it,he simply said some journalist told him.He had no response to the Court's Order accepting SIT Report closing the case and rejecting the protest petition filed Mrs.Zakia Jafri.Probably he was not aware of the facts of Godhara riots.He did not know that to quell the riots,Gujarat Police had fired at nearlly hundred places killing around 300 Hindus.He was also ignorent of the fact that Modi had immediately called three neighbouring Chief Ministers to send their armed personnals to help assist him to stop the riots.He also did not know that Army was summoned within 24 hrs.That apart, he also showed disregard to the Court' verdict giving clean chit to Modi.
On 1984 riots in which 4000 Sikhs were killed,his response was it was not sponserd by Congress.He forgot that for three days Congressmen had run riot killing Sikhs in Delhi.Army was not summoned for three days to stop rioting.After three days a delegation of Advocates from Supreme Court under Sri Ram Jethmalani had visited the affected areas in trans Yamuna colonies.As an young advocate I was also member of the delegation.I had seen with my eyes how inhuman treatment was meted out to Sikhs.We found half burnt deadbodies of Sikhs,found their wives and children crying in those places.There was no doubt that the riots were engineered by congressmen. Rahul admitted that congressmen were involved.Now the question is whether he will disclose the names of those involved and bring about solace to those families.But despite that refuged to regret.When confronted that Man Mohan Singh apologised for 1984 riots when he was not even in politics.Rahul maintained silence.
On corruption and price rise,his only answer was that he had been interacting with PM.Though he emphasised that he would not favour any corruption and the law must take its course,he was evasive on taking action on Ashok Chavan and Veer Bhadra Singh.On alliance with RJD and DMK for 2014 election, his reply was funny that the alliance was with individuals but their parties.Congress keeps on thrashing BJP on Yedurappa forgetting that he was removed from the Party and BJP lost the election.Now that Yeddy has cleared his names in many cases,he has been brought back.
Suffice to say that this interview has exposed Congress and its undisputed leader Rahul Gandhi to the vagaries of uncertain political weather giving clearest edge to Sri Narendra Modi.If Rahul further opens his lips,Modi's task will be much easierto trounce Congress which is already at the verge of rout.This interview has ripped open the wounds of Sikhs who are going to be more and more vocal.
Undoubtedly a disaster for Congress.
