Antuley, Akbaruddin and Anthony!

(Hang on friends! I am not going to digress from politics to discuss some latest re-make of RGV, though my title might remind of one of the old Amitabh Bacchan's movie. Its going to be politics as always: Mr.Antuley, being our hon.ble Minority affairs minister, Mr.Akbaruddin Owaisi, the representative of Hyderabad, from MIM party and Mr.A.K. Anthony, the central defence minister.)

Following the days of attack, I happened to tune to the Assembly sessions of Andhra Pradesh. The discussion was on terrorism and subsequently security of the state, and I hoped not much of a great discussion as usual, except for a united assembly standing against the terrorism unanimously. But, things weren't as they were expected to be, since there was an escape of a suspect just the previous day, so the opposition held this against the poor policing and security measures by the State Govt. After some discussion, our representatives (I wouldn't wish to use the word 'leaders'), digressed over the topics, and we witness Mr.Akbaruddin Owaisi going on a tirade on 'Hindu terrorists' not only damaging the nation, but also provoking the minorities (read as muslims) into terrorism! Ofcourse, he also claims the BJP is one of that group of terrorists and henceforth, he concludes BJP and TDP (who happened to support NDA), will have no reason to question the Government on the terrorism issue. I, listening to this, have no words, perhaps one of my readers would help me what to comment on!

And then comes our Minister of defence, Mr.A.K.Anthony. At the point where even UK and US were warning Pakistan on a military operation against terrorism (on the Pakistani soil) if they fail to meet the demands and act as required by the present situation, our defence minister maintains his cool insouciance, and says there can be no military action against Pakisthan or POK. Ofcourse, I am not a war mongerer, but we expect a statement which demands 'actions' against the terrorism from the Pakisthani side, but not the re-assurances on 'no war'.

This 'farce' doesn't stop there. Mr.AK Antuley, the present minister of minority affairs, (perhaps after reading too many chinese news papers), senses a foul play in the murder of Mr.Karkare. Antulay seemed to have borrowed a leaf from Pakistani TV hosts who have claimed that the Mumbai attacks were the handiwork of "Hindu-Zionists". (Courtesy: TOI) In the outset of investigations leading links to a Pakisthani terrorist outfit, a MP expressing his 'sudden revelations', (perhaps even borrowing statements from the 'neighbouring country') seems in itself fishy. Perhaps the minority vote-bank?
