Politics... Benazir Bhutto Assassinated

Benazir Bhutto is assassinated, Blasts at her rallies, Gunshots at Nawaz Sharif's rally... All that in our neighbouring country of Pakistan...

I have been reading the book "In the Line of Fire" by Gen. Pervez Musharraf in which he tries to glorify his acts and the coup using which he ousted Nawaz Sharif citing reasons as to why he felt Nawaz Sharif was not a worthy person to lead Pakistan. He also says that Mr. Bhutto (Sr.) and Mr. Nawaz Sharif, both were incapable of leading Pakistan.

As soon as I got the breaking news about Benazir Bhutto's assassination, the first thought that came to my mind is that it was the ideal way to have Politics.. Remove all your enemies.. at the same time, give a speech about a fortnight earlier to that extent of  warning them of the security lapses that might happen and then, make it appear as a "terrorist" attack...

Waah re Waah.. Good.. and you think politics is only about money??? It is about retaining power as well.. and going to whatever extent you can to retain power!

Suggested Reading: "In the Line of Fire" by Gen. Pervez Musharraf.

ur comment is absolutely misguided IF u think that Musharraf is behind the assassination. Reading one book does not make us the conclusive authority in matters SO convoluted as the Pakistan's internatl politics. It was Musharraf who wanted to bring her back into the country. Also with Pakistan already in SUCH a chaotic state, would one really think that HE of all people would further incinerate the current incendiary situation and therefore make it difficult for himself to govern????? This is arguably the work of terrortists who WANTED Bhutto to die (which was evident by her remarks that she will wipe out extremism), and the assassinate will only help to destablise a already unstable Pakistan. It will allow them more room to manouever in the sate of fear- a situation onyl detrimental to Bhutto's Party, Musharraf and Sharif.

Dear Mr/Ms. Anonymous,

Thank you for dropping by and leaving your comments. But for me, it was just simple logical conclusion... Bhutto and Sharif spoke about avoiding election rigging, and Gunshots at Sharif's rally, Musharraf's publicizing that he did not approve these people's ways of governing..

Logically put, 2 + 2 = 4...

Secularism -- Majority and Minority

This post is not dedicated to anyone and is just a forwarded email which has been copied and pasted over here... and i am forced to assume that this is the truth! I had posted earlier on the same topic and here i go again! Talking abt majority and minority as a part of the comments in my previous post, i was forced to put this in points below: 1. Do you consider that - Sanskrit is communal and Urdu is secular, Mandir is Communal and Masjid is Secular, Sadhu is Communal and Imam is secular,VandeMatharam is communal and Allah-O-Akbar is secular, Shriman is communal and Mian is secular, Hinduism is Communal and Islam is Secular? 2. Why Godhra is blown out of proportion, when no-one talks of the ethnic cleansing of 4 lakh Hindus from Kashmir? 3. When Christian and Muslim schools can teach Bible and Quran, Why Hindus cannot teach Gita in our schools? 4. When Haj pilgrims are given subsidy, why Hindu pilgrims to Amarnath, Sabarimalai & Kailash Mansarovar are taxed? 5. If Muslims & C...

The Truth - "Kannada Barutha"??? Kannada barbeku!

"Kannada Barutha??", ah! I am sure most of you in Bangalore would have heard this, but what is "kannada barutha?" here it goes. Bangalore the IT capital of India , the silicon city and now a Metro city opened its gates to almost all kinds of people. Very evidently the recent poll census proved that there are only 47% of original inhabitants in Bangalore/bengaluru. The life style of the city has seen a gradual change with Pizza Corners replacing MTR's, classy eat out's replacing "Vidyarthi Bhavans" and flashy pub's replacing all our "Mahalakshmi wine shops". "Change is inevitable" from the days of BEML, HAL and BHEL to INFOSYS, WIPRO; Bangalore has a new look now on the world map. Gone are the days where a typical Sunday for any bangalorean was a nice romantic walk on the pavements of "LALBAGH...", "rave idli and coffee.." at the nearest yet old looking MTR and a wonderful Annavra film either at Santosh o...

Love or Infatuation

Infatuation is instant desire. It is one set of glands calling to another. Love, on the other hand, is friendship that has caught fire. It takes root and grows - one day at a time. Infatuation is marked by a feeling of insecurity, you are excited and eager, but not genuinely happy. There are nagging doubts, unanswered questions, little bits and pieces about your beloved that you would just as soon not examine too closely. It might spoil the dream. Love is the quiet understanding and mature acceptance of imperfection. It is real, it gives you strength and grows beyond you - to bolster your beloved. You are warned by his/her presence, even when is away. Long distances do not separate you. You want him/her near, but near or far, you know he/she is yours and you can wait. Infatuation says, "We must get married right away. I can't risk losing him/her." Love says, "Be patient, Don't Panic. He/she is yours. Plan your future with confidence." Infatuation...
