INDIA'S OWN SHOEGATE

On 7th april'09, India's home minister Chidambaram was participating in a press conference. A journalist named Jarnail Singh of Dainik Jagaran threw a shoe at chidambaram narrowly missing him (but making his point). With the memories of an Iraqi Journalist throwing a shoe at George Bush still fresh in one's mind, the electronic media has gone to town with umpteen number of replays from various angles. The media also gave a wide publicity to the statement of Jaranail Singh.
But, why did this happen? What made a senior and responsible Journalist from an equally responsible publication do this petty, un-civilized act? We need to go a little deep into history and recall certain facts.
In 1984, Indira Gandhi was assasinated by her own mis-guided Sikh bodyguards , who sought a revenge for Operation Bluestar which resulted in an assault on their most sacred Golden Temple that was also a sanctuary to sant jarnail singh Bhindranwala and who was killed in that operation.
Soon after Indira's assassination Delhi went into flames, and, mobs incited and led by congress leaders like Jagdish Tytler and Sajjan kumar killed 3000 Sikhs and destroyed their property. The rampage went for three days unchecked and the Sikhs of delhi were left unprotected and at the mercy of the mobs.
This happened 25 years ago, but the memories , the pain and the anguish are still fresh in my mind. So, what happened to those criminals ? Three thousand deaths--- so how many criminals caught, how many prosecuted, how many sentenced, how many in jail????????
NONE.......... NOT EVEN ONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The congress party shielded, protected and rewarded tytler and sajjan for their role.
After 25 years, last week, CBI GAVE A CLEAN CHIT TO TYTLER AND WITHDREW CHARGES ( SO THAT HE CAN CONTEST AS AN MP).
Now let me say something clearly and unambiguously---- EXCEPT FOR THE CONGRESS PARTY AND CBI, THE WHOLE COUNTRY BELIEVES THAT TYTLER WAS GUILTY.

IT IS A SHAME REALLY AND WHEN I LEARNED THAT CBI GAVE TYTLER A CLEAN CHIT MY BLOOD BOILED.
IF MY BLOOD BOILED AT THIS INJUSTICE, YOU CAN IMAGINE WHAT IT DOES TO JARNAIL SINGH AND OTHER SIKHS.
NOW YOU KNOW WHY HE THREW THE SHOE.
The shoe was thrown not at chidambaram the individual, but chidambaram the home minister of India and chidambaram who represents congress party. The incident reveals the FRUSTRATION OVER GROSS INJUSTICE.
BY SUCH GROSS INJUSTICE ,THE CONGRESS PARTY IS DOING A HUGE DAMAGE TO THE COUNTRY BY ALIENATING ONE OF OUR MOST PATRIOTIC COMMUNITIES--- THE SIKHS.
There are quite a few Indian politicians who deserve the shoe-treatment. I believe the trend started and we will see (hopefully) more such incidents. I only hope they would be more on target than Jaranial singh.

Chidambaram said that he forgives Jarnail singh ( for throwing the shoe).
Good of you Mr. Chidambaram, but, HISTORY WILL NOT FORGIVE YOU OR YOUR PARTY FOR PROTECTING TYTLER.

CLEAN CHIT TO JAGDISH TYTLER----------MY FOOT....OR, SHOULD I SAY, MY SHOE?????????
