@mathurapuri@Bayan__baazi Whatever be it, the court dismissed the case. As for feelings, you feel offended the soldiers may feel good for the PM to spend time with them (no other PM has ever done that) during Diwali and dress as one of them. He has not put any insignia that generally goes with a rank.
As a veteran of 37 years standing and 5 combat tenures under my belt, I am HUGELY RELIEVED to see long overdue changes in the Agniveer Scheme. My salute to the three Chiefs, the CDS and the PM.
Arm chair strategists and some senior officers with very little to ZERO combat experience had claimed that this Scheme was based upon US and Chinese models. To hell with these copy cat arm chair strategists.
Which war has America won in the last 70 years? What serious threats do they face? Last war that China fought was against Vietnam in 1979 and they lost that.
Because of two years tenures they can't maintain their equipment. The revised Agniveer scheme is virtually status quo ante and yet saves money to buy badly needed Defense equipment.
It is an Indian Solution to India specific contexts and conditions. The other countries can learn and follow.
It is a scheme that restores combat Efficiency that Cutting cost and economy alone approaches had derailed badly.
Not just two years service has been enhanced but after 6 years all Agniveers will get a chance to become permanent-service till 19 years – earn pension and go home with respect.
This home video of 1980 of the life led by Gandhis then is ONE BEST reason to conclude that this family can never do good of India - Go & check stats of India of year 1980 & compare it to their lifestyle & the India they left for PM @narendramodi in 2014!
Yet another data scam by @the_hindu . Notice the headline - it says "fake notes on rise".
Notice the "All notes" graph on the left. Do you see an increase? Do you?
Now notice the "new series" graph on the right? Do you see how the scale has been changed to make both graphs look equal??
So basically there has been a HUGE drop in the %age of fake notes. Yet, @the_hindu thinks "fake notes on rise". I mean....
@CNNnews18@CNNnews18 need to do better. @gurgaonpolice have already stated that the person is not a policeman but a homeguard.
Action has already been taken against him.
Sonia Gandhi's autobiography like Mahatma Gandhi's. She will not tell like Gandhi the darker side of her life
Those who read book must read this tweet also.
At a time when a crusader.against corruption is advertising Sonia Gandhi's book I think it is necessary to recall my articles in 2009 and 2012 openly charging Sonia with having secret billions abroad
This was when she was the mightiest in the country 2004-14
I took her on and challenges her with articles after articles in the New Indian Express questioning her loyalty to the country and also her honesty and charging her with holding secret billions abroad in two articles in 2009 and 2012
Neither Sonia nor the Congress would respond or sue me
When Sonia Gandhi told her party workers in Mangalore on April 27, 2009 that "the Congress was taking steps to address the issue of untaxed Indian money in Swiss banks". I challenged her with this article in the New Indian Express
16 May 2012 titled
"Who will probe first family’s billions?"
The article opened ...
Mrs Antonia Maino (aka Sonia) Gandhi has finally broken her silence on the Indian slush money abroad. She told her party workers in Mangalore on April 27, 2009 that "the Congress was taking steps to address the issue of untaxed Indian money in Swiss banks".
Schweizer Illustrierte, in its November 11, 1991 issue exposed Rajiv Gandhi (bottom row, second from right) among 14 politicians from developing nations
And ran..
Mrs Antonia Maino (aka Sonia) Gandhi has finally broken her silence on the Indian slush money abroad. She told her party workers in Mangalore on April 27, 2009 that "the Congress was taking steps to address the issue of untaxed Indian money in Swiss banks".
The delayed response of the first family of the Congress party, troubled by the issue from the word go, is understandable.
But, the Swiss money has already become an electoral issue. That is what has finally forced the family to speak so that the party is not any further seen as being in denial and cynical about the Indian slush funds abroad. It is the family's silence, and the party's denial, that turned the issue into an election agenda.
Shorn of the allegations normal in election time, all that L K Advani had said on March 29 was this: 'Mr Prime Minister, vigorously take up the issue of Swiss type secret banking and tax havens in the G20 meeting of April 2'.
Had the PM told Advani that that was precisely what he was intending to do, that would have been the end of the BJP effort to make an issue of it. A Congress party, unburdened by its first family's anxieties, would have done precisely that, particularly when elections are round the corner. But neither the PM nor the party officials would dare do that. Why? Read on for the underlying drives.
The first family has other, perhaps bigger, reasons to worry, apart from about the Bofors slush money. Two more stunning exposures — but not as well-known as the Bofors scam — make the first family a target for investigation on slush money. Now on to the heart of the story which has three limbs.
First: $2.2 billions in Rajiv's secret accounts, says Swiss magazine
The shocking exposure came from Switzerland itself. The most popular magazine of Switzerland, Schweizer Illustrierte, [dated November 11, 1991] did an expose of 14 politicians of developing nations who, it said, had stashed their bribes in Swiss banks. The title of the expose in German read “Fluchgelder — Die Schweizer Konten der Dictatoren”. In English it meant, “Curse of money — The Swiss bank accounts of the Dictators”. Rajiv Gandhi figured in the expose as one with slush funds in secret accounts. Schweizer Illustrierte is not some rag. It is the Number One Swiss magazine and sells some 2,10,000 copies. Its readership is 9,18,000 — some 15 per cent of Swiss adults. The magazine had mentioned specific amounts in secret Swiss accounts of different leaders with their pictures alongside.
