Blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin The most powerful spinner(R.P.K) in the world

The most powerful man in the world is not Barrack Obama. is Julian Lassange, Wickileaks founder, who is making America think Itagain about big words like democracy and free speech, the kind of stuff that country prided it self to have patents on.

Allegedly Lassange is promiscuous. There are rape cases filed against him. Since he is one way or the other stealing information that the US government considers classified, he could be called a thief. And since what Lassange does can be easily interpreted as seditious, he could be called treasonous as well. Enough stuff then to put him behind bars or keep him on the run. In short, a man of many failings. Just like and you and me.

Yet news about him drives newspaper sales. Every time Wikilileaks puts out apparently sensitive documents, the print world follows up on the act and in the short term at least does well. You could be forgiven to think that on a good day the net is print’s benefactor.

But not the US administration’s. Washington has done all it can to shut down Wikileaks’ operations. But the leaks keep popping up on mirror sites. There are any number of online debates and discussions happening on the Wiklleaks. Most of them seem to think this is a clash between cultures, of the new net based and truly democratic generation and the old posers in power, who mouth the good words and then pull the trigger.

May be it is. Equally, it is how the balance of power is shifting back to the individual in his fight against the system, here the state itself. Lassange is powerful, because like Mahatma Gandhi, he is using truth as a strategic weapon. But unlike Gandhi, he has the unique advantage of the net, one of the most democratic of technologies. The US is a echnologically driven country. It’s perhaps justice then that it has met its match in a man who knows how to use technology with such subversive impact.

That Lassange can disprove stated positions of a Superpower and hold it accountable to its actions virtually single handedly is good news to all those who believe patriotism and national identities must be subservient to human rights and ethics. The first is politics. The second is poetry. The individual is finding his voice again. And he is forcing the system to respect him. The power of one is now. And Lassange is the man.

Religion does not matter when it comes to becoming the prime minister and a Muslim can get the top job provided he is the most capable person for it, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said here on Monday. “It is not about what religion or community you come from, it is what you bring to the table, what capability you have,” he said in an interaction with students of the Aligarh Muslim University. He was replying to a question that having come a long way after Independence how much more time will it take for India to have its first Muslim prime minister. “Today, Manmohan Singh is not the Prime Minister of India because he is a Sikh. He is the Prime Minister because he is the most capable person to do the job. “And let me tell you something that even when you do have a Muslim prime minister, he will be a prime minister because he is the most capable person,” 39-year-old Gandhi said. He told a questioner, “You need to step up and the number of leaders coming out of your community needs to go up. You got today a Sikh prime minister that nobody would have ever imagined in a country of over a billion people that we would have a Sikh prime minister. Sikhs are a very small percentage of this country.” Gandhi said his effort was to involve people from different communities and from different parts of India in the political system. Exhorting Muslim youths to participate in national politics in a big way, Gandhi said, “Increased participation of Muslim youths is the ideal way to take on problems not only of theMuslimcommunity but the country as a whole.” He said it was unfortunate that today there was hardly any young Muslim leader active in national politics. Earlier, Gandhi was given a rousing reception on his arrival at the AMU campus. He first drove to the grave of AMU founder Sir Syed Ahmad Khan to pay tributes. The Aligarh Muslim University Teachers’ Association, which also hosted a reception in his honour, described his visit as “historic” and called Gandhi “the modern face of Congress party in India.”

“I am a pilot and I am absolutely aware of the dangers of flying in low visibility conditions. I will be the last person to do it,” he told a press conference, dismissing UPCC president Rita Bahuguna Joshi’s comments that he had forced the pilot to land in bad conditions.

“The PCC president is not a pilot. I have not put any pressure on the pilot. The pilot called me aside this morning and told me that the media was creating a controversy and putting my job in trouble. He has not broken any rule. You are making a story and destroying their career. This is not fair,” he said.

To questions on Joshi’s remarks, 39-year-old Gandhi said that she is not a pilot and she is also not a weather expert. There was plenty of visibility when the helicopter landed, he said.

Joshi had earlier said Rahul had asked the pilot of the helicopter to land in “zero visibility” just to fulfil his commitment of meeting people

Demolition was pre-planned, cold-blooded act: Chidambaram

: Government on Tuesday asserted in the Lok Sabha that the demolition of the disputed structure in Ayodhya was a “pre-planned and

cold-blooded” act conducted by the Sangh Parivar, and BJP leaders like L K Advani and M M Joshi cannot escape responsibility.

Replying to a heated debate on the Liberhan Commisison report, home minister P Chidambaram said the kar sevaks from various states and logistical support had been mobilised with the “sole intention” of destroying the structure.

Singling out then Uttar Pradesh chief minister Kalyan Singh for his attack amid constant slogan-shouting by NDA members, Chidambaram said the state government had “lied” to the Centre, the Supreme Court and the National Integration Council that the structure would be protected.

Regretting that the then P V Narasimha Rao government had made a “wrong political judgment”, he said it was based on the promises of the state government. “The promises made by the BJP were completely false …. to induce us in a state of optimistic slumber.”

Giving elaborate details on the manner the structure was pulled down by kar sevaks, he said it showed that the entire act was “pre-planned, wanton, conspiratorial and cold-blooded destruction”.

Chidambaram said Advani and Joshi made “feeble” attempts to stop the activists, which indicated a “hidden” intent of complicity.

The home minister said Advani and Joshi had a held a closed door meeting with Vinay Katiyar, Ashok Singhal and other Sangh Parivar leaders on the morning of December 6, 1992, about which there is no account.

“I want to ask them what did you talk, what did you discuss, what did you decide. You had breakfast and then proceeded to the place (Ayodhya site). Tell us, tell the nation what did you discuss and decide on that morning,” he said referring to Advani and Joshi who were not present in the House.

Throughout his hour-long speech, BJP and Shiv Sena members continued shouting slogans hailing Atal Bihari Vajpayee, against whom Congress member Beni Prasad Verma had made certain demeaning remarks.

Amid cries of ‘shame, shame’ from treasury benches, Chidambaram said he had thought that after Liberhan report, the RSS and BJP would be remorseful. “But they have no remorse, no shame.”

He said the “horrendous consequences” of the demolition led to communal riots from December 1992 to March 1993, which claimed 2,019 lives. “It continues to divide our country even today.”

Hitting out at BJP, he said its “idea of India” which entails “divisive politics” was rejected by the people in 2004 and again in 2009. “That verdict is greater than Liberhan (indictment).”

A mere handful of professions are honoured with an honorific that survives beyond the office. Priests, judges, armed services officers, professors and doctors, of both the medical and academic disciplines: that’s about it. Journalists, even editors, and politicians, even cabinet ministers, would invite ridicule if they handed out visiting cards marked ‘Editor X’ or ‘Cabinet Minister Y’. Indians are, at best, ambivalent about media and politics. They respect our guardians of law, knowledge and security. There is a new tendency among former envoys to add ‘Ambassador’ before their name, a practice borrowed from America, but this is a title snatched from vanity rather than bestowed by popular acclaim.

Ego sometimes persuades a pompous politician to flaunt a bogus ‘Dr’ on his nameplate. This is not a reward for academic brilliance but an upgrade to a peacock feather, the ‘honorary doctorate’, a worthless piece of paper handed out by an institution desperate for attention. However, this does not matter too much, since we do not expect a high level of honesty from our politicians. Only two letters separate use from abuse, so there will always be a quack preening himself in the garb of a doctor. But when a person held in high esteem dilutes the trust reposed in him, it affects the collective reputation of the brotherhood.

Justice M S Liberhan did not need 17 years and a thousand pages to tell us what has been public knowledge since December 6, 1992. The Babri mosque was not torn down in the dark of night. It was brought down slowly, stone by stone, in Sunday sunlight, before hundreds of journalists, to the cheers of countless thousands of kar sewaks in and around Ayodhya. The mosque was not dynamited in a minute; it was demolished by crowbar and shovel.

Of course, senior leaders of the BJP and RSS were present, for they were kar sewaks as well. Atal Bihari Vajpayee was not there, but he was in nearby Lucknow, albeit a reluctant guest, but unable to refuse the invitation to the party. Newspapers the next day, and magazines the next weekend, published their pictures, some of which became iconic. We did not need a wait of 17 years to learn that Vinay Katiyar was responsible: he has been claiming responsibility for over 6,000 days.

Sharad Pawar, then defence minister, showed a filmed record of December 6 to an invited group at the home of a party MP a few days later. The Liberhan Commission could have completed half its report by taking a look at that film. The media was equally comprehensive in its coverage of the brutal riots that followed: The Sri Krishna report has done far greater justice to the truth in its findings on the Maharashtra riots, so much so that there is all-party collusion on its non-implementation. There was only one question trapped in doubt: What was prime minister P V Narasimha Rao doing while Babri was destroyed on the longest day of the last two decades? Why was home minister S B Chavan, father of the present Maharashtra chief minister, immobile, inscrutable and stolid?

Shock raced through Delhi when word filtered through that an assault had begun in Ayodhya. Phone calls began to pour into the prime minister’s residence in the hope that he would use the authority of the state to uphold the rule of law and fulfil a political and moral obligation. There was a monstrous response from the prime minister’s personal secretary. The PM was either unavailable or, worse, asleep. It was a lie. Rao’s inaction and Chavan’s collaboration were deliberate.

Liberhan protects Rao with an equally conscious fudge, shuffling the blame on to unspecified intelligence agencies. Everyone knew what was going on, IB officers better than most. Rao called a Cabinet meeting only in the evening, when there was nothing left to be saved — not even reputation. By this time, fires of hatred were lighting up the dusk of Mumbai and dozens of cities across the nation. An elaborate programme of blame, reward and punishment was put into place. Those (including bureaucrats and journalists) who acquiesced in Rao’s charade were rewarded; Congress Muslims got a bonus for silence. Rao remained in power till 1996, but he neither ruled nor lived in peace.

The words of this column will make no difference. A government can reduce the past to rubble as easily as an Opposition party can erase a centuries-old mosque. My apologies for a rare detour into the personal, but this is a rare moment. I was a minor part of the Rao government and resigned on the night of December 6 since the stone wall constructed around the prime minister’s house had become impervious to anything except sycophancy. Words demand a different kind of loyalty, and one was relieved to return to the world of words.RELATED ARTICLEAmerick Sidhu, R.P.K, Harris, Zaid enough is enough come back to malaysia an engagemalaysia we will see who is lying
