Syria – Ceasefire and Peace Talks
February 10, 2012
By Padmini Arhant
Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov’s recent meeting with Syrian President Bashar Al Assad to end violence and commence peace talks with opposition is commendable.
The foreign minister gained assurance from Syrian leadership and the opposition expressed willingness for negotiations on February 7, 2012.
Syrian government has also agreed to resume Arab league monitoring in Syria that was previously suspended due to the engagement evolving into political rather than humanitarian mission.
U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki Moon statement on Arab league leader Nabil Elaraby request for joint oversight in Syria could ease tension provided the involvement remains A-political and committed to promoting peace between the government and people choice of representatives.
Soon after Russian delegation briefing on the development – February 7, 2012,
Ref: CNN report Wednesday, February 8, 2012, by the CNN Wire Staff on CNN.com
Title: Activist: Infants, medical staff among dead in Homs crackdown.
http://www.cnn.com/2012/02/08/world/meast/syriaunrest/index.html?iref=mpstoryview
CNN report claiming as unverifiable and unable to corroborate the events or sources causing the purported crimes,
Nonetheless, the international network decision to publish the hyperbolic material generates a legitimate perception – the corporate media serving as propaganda machinery as it did in preparation for illegal invasion of Iraq, military intervention in Libya and now in Syria.
The western broadcast networks in collusion – CNN, BBC and Australian ABC reports on Syrian casualties with conspicuous bias exemplify subversions during war and election.
Sadly, profits driven irresponsible journalism cares less about the consequences of their objectionable actions on life when all peaceful demonstrations invariably transformed into armed conflict for occupation.
Since UNSC resolution adapting to Libyan model disapproval by two other permanent members i.e. Russia and China,
The western powers maneuver to achieve their agenda – regime change through military aggression is sanguineous and counterproductive.
The desperation to engulf Middle East with military incursions demonstrates malefic intent to embroil the world in violent confrontation.
Under humanitarian pretense, the western interference has derailed the revolutions’ prospects for political freedom.
Beginning with Egypt, Supreme Council of Armed Forces with U.S. annual military aid $1.5 billion maintains the predecessor hard line policy revealed in the football riot.
The unmasking of NGO’s in Cairo on espionage linked with U.S. State department.
Iran – the nuclear scientists serial killings attributed to CIA and Mossad.
Libya – the revolutions split into armed militia and power brokers with western authority.
Syria – anti-government regimens representing western powers masqueraded as rebels and upon reviewing the deteriorating situation,
The infiltration disguised as government forces implicated for atrocities against unarmed civilians including the horrific attacks in Homs to haste Syrian government departure is reprehensible.
Afghanistan – The latest report on NATO assault killing children attracting Afghan President Hamid Karzai indignation and many such incidents before reveals the reckless conduct with no respect for life or international law.
Libya – Again several supposedly missed targets with NATO strikes claiming the lives of unarmed factions during the civil war brought upon otherwise peaceful and non-violent rally.
Pakistan – despite detailed maps and check posts locations not to mention the state of the art technology at U.S and NATO disposal, the shelling of Pakistani military base resulting in 24 soldiers deaths with no apology for the loss of lives or sovereignty violation,
These events characterize the military operations behind U.S. and NATO façade in the democratization of Islamic world.
Evidently, U.S. led NATO poses a quintessential threat to humanity at large.
Henceforth, the dismantling of the following organizations would unequivocally serve in global interest.
World Bank,
International Monetary Fund,
Federal Reserve,
The military industrial complex representing the defense industries and U.S. commandeered NATO and,
Last but not the least,
The International Criminal Court of Justice – ICC with selective indictments redefining justice diminishing judiciary to fiduciary.
These institutions have demonstrably destabilized economies and decimated civilizations for global dominance.
The leaderships’ complicity undermines the ‘democratic’ system they pledged to defend in the constitutional oath glaringly discarded for nexus motive i.e. supremacy at mass subjugation.
Syrian crisis is the other dimension for pre-meditated global showdown.
Syrian Citizens must exercise diligence in delineating pro-democracy volunteers from external influenced armed opposition to avoid Libya like transition.
The genuine political groups upon civil society acknowledgment could utilize the opportunity for direct dialogue with the government.
In presenting the problems to the government, the political opposition candor would eliminate hierarchy necessary for democracy onset.
First and foremost, complete ceasefire by government, rebels and anti-government segments is paramount ending hostility and bloodshed.
Release of all political dissidents held in custody.
Constitutional and political reforms are fundamental steps to democratic roadmap,
Enacting Parliamentary form without Presidency to downsize the government functionality in terms of political rigmarole,
Besides saving taxpayer dollars in provisional management that is more often vested in partisanship considering the ceremonial head of the state appointment by the ruling power at the center.
Government of the people, by the people and for the people held accountable to the people would strengthen democracy in a republic unlike arbitrary figurers politically swayed for individual goals than common good.
The eligibility criteria for those seeking power in public office – integrity, intelligence with proven track record in social and national service would determine sincerity.
Zero tolerance to corruption and treason with stringent laws upholding the democratic principle – None are above the law.
People nominated independent committee investigation of political scandals would substantially curb political and corporate crimes prevalent in contemporary society.
Prime Minister elected through democratic process leading the administration could be the primary change.
The government term limited to four years and not exceeding two terms enables checks and balances for meaningful democracy.
Facilitating secular political denomination is important for national unity and security.
Women’s role and minority demography in government and legislative body would affirm equality and conform to twenty first century standard.
Fundamentalism or radicalism contributes to political turmoil compromising liberty and a reason for foreign presence.
Political reform comprising free and fair elections,
Public finance for political campaigns barring corporations, wealthy individuals and special interests viz. religious, economic…ownership of candidacies,
Right to recall elected representatives or government through ballot measure and confidence vote in Parliament to enforce performance based governance.
Local and central authorities authorizing use of force against unarmed civilians would be constitutional breach to protect and defend citizens.
Notwithstanding prohibition of lethal weapons or health hazard substance to establish law and order.
The leadership or administration’s such practice subjected to removal from power using democratic means like Parliamentary proceedings, judicial process and civil society ombudsman would curtail government violent crackdown and restore democracy.
Judiciary and investigation wing on crimes related to political matter under administration or executive branch by and large invalidated with extensive abuse of power.
Isolating Judiciary and investigative agency away from government jurisdiction would address conflict of interest reflected in judgments delivered for political appeasement marginalizing judicial efficacy essentially set up to deliver justice without prejudice.
Prioritizing civil and human rights regardless of class, creed, gender and sexual orientation in the constitution would reinforce the universal law – All are created equal.
Syria has endured enormous pain and suffering and people have the power to begin the healing process.
President Bashar Al Assad must withdraw armed forces from the main street throughout Syria and issue an executive order to ceasefire.
Instead the government should respond with emergency relief to rescue citizens from foreign attacks and save lives expediting humanitarian aid.
Likewise the oppositions should be careful not to fall prey to predators divide and conquer strategy.
Middle East history is testimony to colonial / imperialist ambitions.
United Syria can prevail in adversity confronting the nation and deal with challenges adhering to peaceful and non-violent methods that would guarantee success.
Russian leadership fostering peace in Syria is praiseworthy and further international support would reverse the deteriorating political conditions to national vantage.
Western powers abandoning ill-conceived government toppling would benefit them given the mistrust against foreign entry under false pretexts for yet another devious aspiration – global depopulation.
Adopting Machiavellian approach to overthrow government is self-effacing with the irony in end justifying the means.
Syrian leaderships in the government and oppositions alike are urged to set their political differences aside, disavow violence and move forward in safeguarding citizens’ lives and statehood.
Wishing people and the leaderships in Syria victory in peaceful resolutions of the political upheaval.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

February 5, 2012
By Padmini Arhant
The political unrest in Syria emanating from prolonged oppression is Arab Spring motivated and in semblance with other Arab States experience viz. Libya for government transfer of power,
Syrian peaceful and non-violent protest has transformed into armed conflict between the rebels and government security force.
Arab Spring is the culmination of mainstream frustration over political repression, economic disparity and social inequality within society.
The violent confrontation in Syria beginning with government crackdown witnessed even in the so-called democracies against peaceful assembly triggered the relentless street demonstration.
Meanwhile, western powers with discriminatory dealings record in response to Arab Spring demand for political freedom are perceived as opportunists to exploit situation in their favor for economic and/or strategic interest.
Considering the western instigated killings in Bahrain, Yemen and procrastination in Tunisia, Egypt not barring leading Libya into civil war, the intervention thus far has been detrimental for revolutions in the region.
The majority of authoritarian regimes being close western allies or hegemony approved puppet governments,
The substantial mistrust against western proposals largely premised on regime change with military might cannot be underestimated given the ideology driven Project for New American Century targeted goals for global dominance.
Although the vested interests vary with geopolitical dynamics,
Syrian turmoil is attributed to government failure in maintaining dialogue with political opposition as well as the people through trusted and respected intermediary in the society.
President Bashar Al Assad authorization of civilian attacks using armed forces is reprehensible and a major misstep in the attempt to quell dissent.
The continuous violence lasting over eleven months especially in Homs and Damascus outskirts was facilitated by arms influx into the state providing arms dealers incentive for ammunition supply.
Influential powers as Security Council members share responsibility for Syrian status quo.
Arming the government and opposition in Syria for balanced retaliation is the repeat of Libyan episode.
An eye for an eye would blind the world is evident in Syrian political struggle.
The anti-government in Syria is not distinctive in terms of civilian representation due to western focus on Syria linked with Iran.
The reports on CIA and Mossad infiltration alongside Saudi Arabia covert participation through armed militia are a liability for any regional or international resolution.
Similarly Arab League mission in Syria to monitor the disturbance had a huge credibility issue with member states default on human rights and political system denying republic rule.
Any foreign interference with ulterior motive would falter in the required action.
UN Security Council resolution posed to bring stability in Syria in the absence of political fairness against militancy apparently contributed to two members i.e. Russia and China veto the proposal.
The contentious issues are UN arms embargo against Syrian government but not on the insurgency and ambiguity in the draft language stating ‘all means necessary’ similar to Libyan interception that led to military aggression and massive civilian casualty.
UNSC polarized view and decisions on Middle East in general with US veto on Palestinian statehood, discarding UN appointed counsel Justice Richard Goldstone report on Gaza in 2009 and complicity in escalating tensions against Iran with crippling sanctions…severely jeopardize council members’ integrity and impartiality in carrying out the anticipated measures in Syria.
The expansion of UNSC permanent membership inviting Brazil, Japan, South Africa, Turkey, Norway and India…to conform to contemporary economic and political paradigm is out of consideration for the council set up in twentieth century.
In light of the inherent shortcomings, the expectation for unanimity on global disputes is often challenging creating apprehension among members with reservations on human rights violation accord given the individual profile in this context.
United Nations organization purpose to defend the weak and vulnerable or step forward in recognizing Palestinian sovereignty is not necessarily the UNSC goal reflected in the misuse of veto power.
Syria heading in the direction of Libya with current mutiny has no alternative but ceasefire on all sides i.e. both the government and anti-government factions unconditional disarmament is imperative to stop the bloodshed in order to resume dialogue for peaceful political transition.
President Bashar Al Assad acknowledgment of citizens’ demand for democratic rule would defend Syria from foreign invasion and legitimize the leadership role in allowing republic governance to succeed as the viable political resolution.
The political opposition in Syria – Syrian National Council, Local Coordination Committee and Free Syrian Army…delineation from foreign association would clarify the groups’ authenticity subject to Syrian nationals final approval through political referendum.
Western powers ambition to expedite military incursion in Syria under humanitarian pretext imitating Libya would be counterproductive.
Instead internationally recognized non-profit and A-political humanitarian organization access to heal the wounded and attend to the displaced population could alleviate the suffering besides dispelling any speculations on potential civil discord.
United Nations service limited to UNHCR and UNICEF operation on the ground could further assist in the humanitarian aid.
There is urgency to refrain from violence on behalf of the government and opposition alike enabling civil discourse for constructive outcome.
Procrastination in political consensus would exacerbate the prevalent chaos weakening national security.
Solidarity among political leaderships, academics, scholars and peace activists in Syrian civil society could contain the clashes and mediate peace talks honoring Syrian electorate choice of government.
The inevitable change could not be stalled with political uprising having claimed many innocent lives and government determination to extend authoritarianism might replicate events in Egypt and Libya.
Syrian authority and anti-government segments are urged to lay their arms and adopt non-violent means for fruitful negotiations with immediate effect.
President Bashar Al Assad government reining control over political dissidents generated disintegration and political compromise would perhaps reverse the trend towards republican democracy.
Peace and liberty are the fundamental rights of all citizens regardless of faith, race and gender.
The desire to dominate and deprive individual freedom foments radicalism at one extreme and reason for foreign occupation in another.
Syrian citizens like fellow Arabs have endured persecution and fatalities until now,
The sacrifices would not be in vain with peace and democracy on the horizon.
Wishing the people of Syria eternal peace, progress and prosperity.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Iran – EU Sanctions and Oil Embargo
January 25, 2012
By Padmini Arhant
European Union compliance to Israel’s proposal on oil embargo against Iran is a huge economic misstep for everyone involved especially Europe tethering on Central Banks capital infusion in the austerity era triggering population uprising against governments’ misplaced priority and erroneous policies hurting the public.
Every action has equal and opposite reaction.
U.S. and EU amenability to Israel’s far-fetched aspirations in the Middle East and western powers ambitions beyond Iran is detrimental for global economy and security.
Although U.S and EU imposed crippling sanctions against Iran at Israel’s behest might appear to strangle Iran’s economy,
The net impact on oil dependent industrialized western economies would be devastating regardless of alternative arrangements to import oil from other producers –
The course is already contributing to crude oil price increase with ripple effects on the end consumer.
Notwithstanding the emerging economies – BRICS – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa along with other players in Asia, Latin America and Africa would be competing with western counterparts on oil imports when Iran removed from supply chain.
Developing economies are struggling to cope with widespread recession partly attributed to financial markets speculative practices particularly the U.S finance and energy sectors major role leading to the status quo.
Again emerging economies dilemma in containing inflation could be exacerbated with energy demand pushing prices up pervasively on consumer goods and services in the market place,
While the outlined repercussions are economy related, the political ramifications cannot be ignored.
Arab Spring in the Middle East is currently exploited for political advantage in the west.
The revolutions having sacrificed precious lives in the initially peaceful and non-violent protests turned into civil war utilizing ammunition stockpiles originally delivered by defense industries in the armed confrontation.
Saudi Arabia and Iraq – The Arab nations expected to produce Iran’s share of crude oil for distribution to western power and allies denying Iranian people survival means foment not only anti-western sentiments but also anti-Arab thoughts cultivating the culture of acrimony rather than harmony.
Saudi Arabia – the kingdom proudly hosting the holy pilgrimage to Mecca with the holy shrine of Prophet Mohammad (May Peace be upon him),
The authorities’ actions are contradictory to Islamic faith and values exemplified by the Prophet.
The moral guidance enunciated in Holy Quran is violated when an Islamic nation willfully cooperates in the economic and/or military warfare against another Islamic state since Islam condemns killings, oppression and persecution of any living being.
Besides the architects of war in the Middle East have Saudi Arabia – the next target in the regime change agenda.
Effectively, Saudi Arabia complicity in substituting Iran’s oil production and other means could be self-destructive.
Similarly Iraq – the victim of unjust war waged under false pretext is deja vous for the country still in turmoil following decimation from invasion.
United States appointed leadership Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is a strong ally of Iran maintaining close ties with Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and,
The relation between the two neighbors would be seriously tested in the critical hour ranging from oil output to strategic assistance against Iran.
Turkey – The NATO partner and intermediary suffered setbacks with western powers – recent France Vote against Turkey on Armenian issue and Flotilla incident with Israel in 2010.
Any other Islamic nation’s alliance in the economic and military aggression against Iran with citizens being the casualty might produce unrest within society considering the opposition to foreign intervention in Islamic countries across the globe.
In terms of formidable support to Iran – China and Russia partnerships on many issues including security threats are solid and expected to continue in the long run.
Persian Gulf incursion combined with economic restraints against Iran is also perceived as decelerating growth among the emerging economies to sustain global dominance.
Humanity progress is measured by collective prosperity and superiority aimed at eliminating nations or diminishing economic status could ultimately harm the source.
The world would benefit from peace and unity.
Perpetual conflicts destroy life and destiny of the present and future generation.
Political leaderships are granted power for a reason – to improve the lives of many and empower the powerless not otherwise.
The leadership[s are urged to resolve the dispute through peace and diplomacy.
Life is meaningful upon serving the purpose to kindle the spirit of oneness bound by universal love and compassion.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Romania – Revolution For Republican Democracy]
January 23, 2012
By Padmini Arhant
Revolution in Eastern Europe returns once again to Bucharest, Romania.
The peaceful and non-violent public protests evolved into violent confrontation with police crackdown on citizens intensified in the recent rally.
Sadly, the government use of violence towards citizens reveals impatience and apathy to declining economic and social standards.
Romanian demonstration in semblance to global dissent on deteriorating economic conditions for the vast majority,
While the political establishment and privileged class thriving regardless of ineffective economic strategies confirms feudalism emergence to surface.
Severe austerity and rampant corruption denying average citizens normal existence are contentious issues among Romanian demonstrators depicting universal plight.
The government failure to address domestic problems – burgeoning economic crisis in particular drives mainstream on to main street to express grievances and desperate situation largely attributed to policies lacking in pervasive economic growth affecting population basic needs in life.
Romanian revolution triumph is evident in history with elimination of communist regime under Nicolae Ceausescu leadership and subsequent transformation towards democracy with market economy proves the republic power in prevailing over forces threatening human rights and dignity depriving economic progress.
The incumbent government under President Traian Basescu is challenged for drastic spending cuts amid corruption charges leveled against the authority.
Romania as EU member adopting disproportionate measures targeting essential programs such as citizens pension, health and education similar to Greece, Spain and Italy,
In the absence of economic stimulus to promote employment and local business opportunities is suggestive of government neglect in providing viable solutions to diverse issues confronting the nation.
The tradition adapting to general economic model may not be suitable for every economy and exploring individual strategies could perhaps produce positive output in meeting the unique requirements.
President Traian Basescu administration inability to redress growing economic and political turmoil leads to instability exacerbating people suffering besides jeopardizing national security.
Furthermore, the leadership determination to stay in power despite electorate vehement opposition seeking resignation from office undermines democracy secured after immense sacrifice in the earlier freedom movement against repression.
The people in any society deserve governance adept at understanding the dynamics of events and preparedness to respond effectively for desirable outcome.
Notwithstanding national and international complexities demanding resolutions due to discord created for global dominance.
Citizens’ call to dissolve the government could be initiated through no confidence vote that would determine the early election process with transitional power unless,
The current leadership in recognition of republic rejection steps down allowing the country to move forward with people choice representation honoring democracy, peace and political stability.
Meanwhile, it is imperative for Romanian citizens and leaderships to contain tensions between them and begin dialogue for peaceful settlement on the economic, political and social disagreements.
Any nation disregarding the genuine voices of citizens could not be a sovereign democratic state.
The era of oppression is coming into conclusion and attempts to prolong or reinstate authoritarianism would be futile with increased public awareness and global revolution commitment to reclaim republican democracy.
Good Luck and Best Wishes! To people of Romania and opposition leaderships for a democratically guided successful transfer of power.
Peace, progress and prosperity to Romania.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Pakistan – Pro-Democracy Resolution
January 18, 2012
By Padmini Arhant
The recent political tension in Pakistan contained through recognition of powers with respective government body is praiseworthy.
Pakistan National Assembly passed pro-democracy resolution with overwhelming majority is a monumental step in strengthening democratic system.
The resolution upholding parliamentary procedure, federation governance and state institutions functionality all within constitutional parameters delineate individual responsibility in adherence to democratic principles with republic retaining absolute power.
The house acknowledged sovereignty belonging to Almighty Allah and,
Parliamentary authority exercised by people elected representatives with parliament being the confluence of consolidated vision and wisdom pledging allegiance to national interest.
Further the national assembly unanimously endorsed the incumbent political leadership of Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani reiterating full confidence and trust in leading the nation on democratic path to dispel speculations on Pakistan’s political stability.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani stating utmost respect for judiciary reminded critics of the crucial steps taken upon swearing into office in releasing judges then kept under arrest by former President Pervez Musharraf during emergency rule.
Prime Minister Gilani has given assurance in obliging Supreme Court order on National Reconciliation Ordinance matter.
National Reconciliation Ordinance was unilaterally introduced by predecessor General Pervez Musharraf providing blanket amnesty to law offenders on various corruption scandals such as black money in Swiss bank accounts, embezzlements and tax evasions.
President Musharraf rule implementing economically detrimental ordinance burdened taxpayers in semblance with rest of the global society enduring corruption epidemic.
Pakistan Supreme Court subsequent order to null and void the unconstitutional measure for transparency and remedial response on corruption charges with the current political leadership has led to NRO (National Reconciliation Ordinance) hearing.
Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani is accused in contempt of Supreme Court order calling for PM action to repeal NRO currently protecting unlawful wealth acquisition and management specifically citing President Asif Ali Zardari Swiss bank accounts maintained under privileged status immunity.
The dilemma for Prime Minister Gilani is President Asif Ali Zardari personal assets scrutiny posing litmus test on functional democracy in Pakistan.
Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani request to Swiss Bank for full disclosure of accounts and disproportionate assets on all Pakistan nationals including President Asif Ali Zardari would categorically exemplify the government’s democratic nature,
Alongside satisfying Supreme Court’s legitimate inquest on national wealth accountability.
Illegal wealth accumulation directly affects national economy contributing to economic and social inequality in global society.
Crime committed with impunity among political establishment and affluent elitists is the culture threatening meaningful democracy and economic progress world over.
Complacency to hierarchical income distribution widening gap between haves and have-nots diminish prospects for disadvantaged demography prolonging status quo.
Pakistan could perhaps be the trailblazer in transcending politics for revenue recovery besides restoring seriously jeopardized national image and credibility – the contemporary trend across the globe.
Leaderships on spotlight are often required to demonstrate convictions with result-oriented actions.
The decisions demanding diligence and courage for national benefit stand testimony to leadership trustworthiness and ability to deal with challenges ahead.
Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and coalition partners have a unique opportunity to lead the nation beyond conventionalism in addressing economically crippling corruption issue.
Pro-democracy resolution is a new chapter in Pakistan’s modern history with rationality prevailing over ideology not to mention the declaration on sovereignty reclaimed in accordance with statehood identity.
Good Luck and Best Wishes! To people of Pakistan and leaderships representing democratic institutions in peaceful reconciliation of all issues.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Pakistan – Geo Political Dynamics
January 15, 2012
By Padmini Arhant
Pakistan dilemma from memo gate involving political and military leadership is an attempt to destabilize the country threatening national security and democratic viability.
Memo gate originating from Washington is directed at weakening Pakistan political and security apparatus for their defiance in restricting access to U.S. and NATO aggression.
Pakistan Army Chief General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani initially appointed by former President General Parvez Musharraf with subsequent three-year extension from current Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani.
The undercurrent in Pakistan politics is dispensable diversion emanating from memo gate premised on global domineering forces’ specifically United States security agency obsolete and failed ideology – manufacture crisis to implement policy i.e. occupy nations violating sovereignty for strategic interest.
Memo gate is alleged note from Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari through former ambassador to U.S., Hussain Haqqani requesting United States Military command – the then Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen to avert army coup against civilian government.
Although the former U.S. ambassador Hussain Haqqani has already been removed from the position and detained in Pakistan for trial presumably on treason charges,
The protagonist – United States administration coerced conspirator Mansoor Ijaz is prevented from travelling to Pakistan and testify in the Supreme Court on pivotal national issue.
Mansoor Ijaz background according to – The Guardian, United Kingdom – Thank you.
“A controversial American businessman, frequent media commentator and a ferocious critic of Pakistan’s military,
Mansoor Ijaz is a former wall street financier with strong connections to the American security establishment.”
News report also elaborates Mansoor Ijaz claim on two accounts contradictory to one another.
I. “Memo briefing by former Ambassador Hussian Haqqani acknowledged as accuser’s friend,
II. Successively, Mansoor Ijaz and Pakistan ISI (Inter-services intelligence agency) Chief, Lieutenant-General Ahmed Shuja Pasha discreet meeting at a hotel on Park Lane in London to share the so-called explosive information.
Notwithstanding Mansoor Ijaz earlier criticism of ISI Chief Pasha as ‘known babysitter’ of Osama Bin Laden in the wake of U.S Navy Seals operation in Abbottabad.
Evidently, Mansoor Ijaz presence in Pakistan to unravel the ill-fated plan against Pakistan society represented by political establishment, military and intelligence institutions is paramount to contain the spiraling controversy.
Mansoor Ijaz failure to appear in Pakistan’s court considering prominent role played in instigating one against another would clarify the crisis source.
Furthermore, Mansoor Ijaz is confirmed to have stated his earlier intentions to reveal all i.e. ‘unaltered truth’ on the burgeoning issue in Pakistan courts only to be retracted now upon U.S. administration behest.
Pakistan has been the combat zone in the so-called war on terror since 9/11 and the predecessor President Musharraf – a close ally in the U.S operation from Pakistan facilitated army bases including drone attacks in exchange for $10 billion in military aid transforming Pakistan into a beleaguered nation.
General Musharraf rule encompassed –
Close ties with Afghan Taliban enabling embassy in Pakistan.
Osama Bin Laden mobility and medical treatment in Rawalpindi,
Madrassas proliferation paving way to myriad terror networks,
Pakistan Taliban emergence,
Various nefarious characters granted amnesty,
Pakistan ISI collusion with terror groups on General Musharraf’s watch summarize the President in reserve legacy as ‘reliable’ partner in the eternal war on terror.
Additionally, President Musharraf resumé comprise –
Abandoning constitution and national elections,
Opposition members and Supreme Court justices’ imprisonment,
Nuclear states – Pakistan and India tensions escalated into near nuclear confrontation during Kargill war in 1999 and,
Last but not the least,
Implicated in Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto assassination with arrest warrant issued upon returning to Pakistan.
Given the trajectory – the whole enchilada betraying national and international trust,
Concerted effort among hegemony and foreign conglomerate owned Indian media sponsoring General Parvez Musharraf reinstatement to power euphemize international acceptance theory.
Further, the expectation reveals the paradoxical selection criteria on leaderships in the world yearning for peace and liberty.
General Parvez Musharraf – the self-exiled leader in London preparation to resume office in semblance with previous Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto re-entry to power could be miscalculating the sentiments among those affected by the General’s authoritarianism.
The development is yet another trial and error seeking tragedy.
Post Musharraf period in Pakistan has been tumultuous with history repeating itself in Bhutto dynasty.
Contemporary politics conundrum is leadership appointment serving exclusive and foreign interests rather than republic choice election.
Political parties outreach to dynasties and celebrities promote symbolic politics severely lacking in substance and solutions to mainstream problems in life.
Alienated from world realities with focus on individual aspiration to sustain fame and fortune, the misrepresentation exacerbates the vast majority plight.
Essentially affluence influencing society could be multidimensional.
Anything yielding positive outcome benefitting humanity at large would dignify both benefactor and beneficiary.
However, wealth acquired by illicit means invested to propitiate entities from average citizen to Almighty God is corruption for absolvent exhibiting true colors with serious repercussions in the end justifying the means to success.
The trend with conspicuous barriers also deters unsung heroes and geniuses dedicated to community and national service from entering the political domain.
Transformation in this regard could begin with political reform through electoral eligibility determined by wisdom, will power and track record to serve the people as well as the nation rather than wealth or stardom gaining prominence.
People deserve qualified candidacies adept in dealing with national and international challenges prioritizing public service over private goals.
Personal objectives would reflect honesty and integrity in caring for life other than self and the next of kin defining human character – the ethereal beauty unlike the skin deep cosmetic appearance.
Reverting to Pakistan political dynamics – As autonomous dominion, Pakistan is a classic example in global dominance breaching national sovereignty.
Pakistan military and intelligence institutions having been engaged in coup until recently i.e. General Parvez Musharraf governance,
The incumbent civilian government concern may not necessarily be misplaced in that context.
Historically, the justifications for military coups in Pakistan were ironically the civilian government abuse of power, chronic corruption and feudalism demonstrated in colonial loyalty.
Though there is element of truth in that respect,
Those subverting Pakistan autonomy changed course and applied same tactics on Pakistan ISI and military to a large extent in cohort with foreign power.
Nevertheless, the latest events in Pakistan –
U.S. raid in Abbottabad directly violating Pakistan statehood with accusations leveled against Pakistan military and intelligence about Osama Bin Laden,
When the entire operation posed credibility factor especially in the absence of evidence evading public demand on Osama Bin Laden corpse supposedly disposed in North Arabian Sea conclusively depicts falsehood.
Pakistan citizens have long endured fatalities from U.S. and NATO drone assaults with no value for life in the clueless and endless mission.
The recent NATO strikes killing 24 Pakistan soldiers and civilian casualty is the tipping point exacerbated with U.S. refusal to apologize on the fatal attacks in Pakistan soil.
The event legitimately attracted worldwide condemnation and brought the allies – Pakistan and U.S together with NATO on brinkmanship.
Consequently, Pakistan Army Chief General Kayani in national defense alerted Pakistani forces to retaliate upon incident recurrence and called for evacuation from Shamsi air base – the launching pad in drone attacks that has claimed more civilian lives than militants.
Prime Minister Gillani government decision to skip Afghan peace conference in Bonn, Germany has apparently bruised emotions in the political circle even though the U.S. apology on the loss of lives was considered a tall order.
The shock treatment from Pakistan military regarded subservient ally has upset the applecart in the ambition against Iran via Pakistan prompting U.S. security agency contact Mansoor Ijaz performance in memo gate to discredit Pakistan Army Chief Kayani and Prime Minister Gillani potentially paving way for the U.S. and NATO favored ally General Parvez Musharraf declaring arrival in homeland amid domestic rift.
Simultaneously the alternative opposition Tehreek-e-Insaf led by cricket star Imran Khan eager to seize political opportunity weighing in with earlier election to dismiss Gillani government.
The fact of the matter being – Pakistan Army Chief General Kayani honorably defended his country at the critical hour by standing up against quintessential threats and repeatedly pledged allegiance to democratic Pakistan eliminating skepticism on possible military coup.
Likewise, Pakistan ISI Chief Lt. Gen. Ahmed Shuja Pasha submitted his resignation that was declined by Prime Minister Gillani following the U.S. indulgence in Abbottabad against international law.
The two separate phenomenal strikes by United States in Pakistan territory share common feature – Pakistan sovereignty compromised.
Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani conciliatory response with Pakistan military in extending General Kayani’s term and intelligence agency by rejecting Lt. Gen. Pasha’s resignation exemplify the administration’s trust in both organizations – recognized as national pillars by Prime Minister Gillani.
The three leaderships have displayed extraordinary courage and decorum in protecting Pakistan’s interest despite constant external intervention to sabotage stability in the prevalent besetment.
Pakistan has been the experimental battleground to test innovative weaponry with U.S. prolonged warfare allowing mercenaries, CIA deployed paramilitary operatives and foreign agents freely engaged in specific agenda.
Pakistan’s solidarity is imperative now and in the future with full co-operation among three leaderships working alongside and not against each other in rebuilding the nation with tremendous talent.
It is equally imperative for Pakistan military and intelligence to crackdown on terror networks and militancy – the pretext for U.S. occupation in Pakistan.
Pakistan ISI Chief Pasha implementing effective measures in breaking ties with jihadists and terror links within and across the border in Afghanistan would address the terror haven stigma.
Pakistan citizens are exhausted from uncertainties spreading despair and dire situation all around.
Conducting elections prior to end of term is unaffordable and unnecessarily embolden opportunist factions in misguided ventures.
Civilian government under Prime Minister Gillani is a stable and energized team.
Prime Minister Gillani’s ability to work with coalition partners and their willingness to maintain alliance is noteworthy.
Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari frequent departure from the country for anything other than health reasons provides fodder to selective media anxious to sensationalize ordinary circumstances into hysteria.
The present civilian government could perhaps modify Presidential status through constitutional amendment.
Furthermore relieving President Zardari from the post and replacing with civil society member would pronounce functional democracy.
Pakistan core leaderships representing the people bear responsibility to safeguard republic needs – a safe and secure Pakistan investing valuable time and resources for rapid economic growth.
The world would also be at ease with democracy prevailing in Pakistan in order to succeed in the competitive sluggish global economy.
Good Luck and Best Wishes to Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani, Pakistan Army Chief Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, ISI Chief Ahmed Shuja Pasha and the people of Pakistan in peaceful reconciliation.
Peace, progress and prosperity to Pakistan having survived tribulations until now.
Peace to all!

Indian sub-continent –Sovereignty Return and Independent Republic Status
January 10, 2012
By Padmini Arhant
Independence struggle for India and Pakistan resumes in the twenty first century.
British Imperial subjugation of the Indian sub-continent prevalent until now as colonies with autonomy limited to self-governance.
However, sovereignty still maintained with monarchy rather than the respective republic in Dominion status assignment.
Transfer of Power – the treaty signed prior to presumed independence in 1947 amid clandestine meetings held among then Royal representatives including Viceroy and,
Imperialist selected meager representation for several millions at that time do not specify the Imperial role in defense strategy of the ceded territories set up as Dominions.
Furthermore, the axiomatic ambivalence in Transfer of Power against surrender rule and,
Dominion instead of independent sovereign republic declared in –
The Indian Independence Act 1947 – 10 & 11 Geo 6. CH. 30 –
“An Act to make provision for the setting up in India of two independent Dominions, to substitute other provisions for certain provisions of the Government of India Act, 1935, which apply outside those Dominions, and to provide for other matters consequential on or connected with the setting up of those Dominions. [18 July 1947.]
Be it enacted by the King’s most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:-
The new Dominions –
1. -(I) As from the fifteenth day of August, nineteen hundred and forty seven, two independent Dominions shall be set up in India, to be known respectively as India and Pakistan.
(2) The said Dominions are hereafter in this Act referred to as “the new Dominions”, and the said fifteenth day of August is hereafter in this Act referred to as “ the appointed day”.
Territories of the new Dominions –
2. —(I) Subject to the provisions of subsections (3) and (4) of this section, the territories of India shall be territories under the sovereignty of His Majesty which, immediately before the appointed day, were included in British India except the territories which, under subsection (2) of this section, are to be the territories of Pakistan.”
The issue emphasize on two key elements pertaining to this Act –
Dominion by definition –
Source – Legal Dictionary – Merriam Webster – Thank you.
Main Entry: do·min·ion
Pronunciation: d&-‘min-y&n
Function: noun
1 a: supreme authority: SOVEREIGNTY b: a territory over which such authority is exercised c often cap:
A self-governing nation (as Canada) of the Commonwealth other than the United Kingdom that acknowledges the British monarch as the head of the state.
Encyclopedia – Encyclopedia Britannica – Thank you.
Dominion
The status, prior to 1939, of each of the British Commonwealth countries of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Union of South Africa, Eire, and Newfoundland.
Although there was no formal definition of dominion status,
A pronouncement by the Imperial Conference of 1926 described Great Britain and the dominions as “autonomous communities within the British Empire, equal in status, in no way subordinate one to another in any aspect of their domestic or external affairs, though united by a common allegiance to the Crown and freely associated as members of the British Commonwealth of Nations.”
The references – Dominion and sovereignty under His Majesty per
The British Empire treaty – The Indian Independence Act 1947 – raises poignant questions regarding paramountcy lapse.
Termination of His Majesty’s suzerainty over dominions and promulgation under Indian republic and vice versa for Pakistan would provide legitimacy as well as clarity on true emancipation.
Meanwhile, the status quo comparable to Hong Kong previously recognized as British colony under long-term lease and subsequent cession to China on July 1, 1997 formally ending British rule in that territory.
India and Pakistan assume autonomy on 99 year lease due to embedded technicalities implying feudalist authority in the official deeds – Transfer of Power Agreement and Indian Independence Act 1947.
These conditions are not inextricable and perhaps delineating the independent nature substituting dominion for sovereign republic befitting twenty first century paradigm would clearly define sovereignty free from external vested interest.
India – as the Indian sub-continent progenitor perceived an independent republic in national and worldview.
Contrary to the belief, the so-called largest democracy is yet to attain sovereignty under Indian republic.
Pakistan – British Raj quid pro quo through mutiny share the irony with India.
Under divide and rule imperialist strategy, India was partitioned creating mayhem with millions of lives lost in the demarcation.
Over two-century occupation that still continues in the region through proxy governments and colonial loyalists within society serving hegemonic agenda.
India and Pakistan notwithstanding former colonies across the globe identified as dominion remain members of commonwealth under British monarchy.
The extension of matter is related to Indian Citizenship Act explicitly denying mainstream population dual citizenship contradictory to foreign entities from Regality to those in position of authority granted privilege in holding multiple citizenships not barring unlimited access to India.
Such inherent anomalies lead to feudal empowerment at society’s marginalization.
It is time for India and Pakistan to rise to the occasion in reclaiming sovereignty under republic domain.
British Royalty acknowledgment accordingly relinquishing power and rights on territories stated as dominions in the official declarations would conform to nations meaningful and authentic liberation from foreign rule.
Expediting transformation in a peaceful and transparent manner would confirm sincere commitment to individual liberty.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

India – Anti-Corruption Law and No Confidence Vote Motion
December 29, 2011
By Padmini Arhant
The UPA derailment of Parliamentary process in the upper house i.e. Rajya Sabha on Jan Lokpal bill following deliberation and opposition parties amendments to strengthen the long awaited anti-corruption legislation is condemnable prompting winter session extension for ruling on monumental national issue concerning 1.2 billion lives.
In the live broadcast of the important legislative discourse,
The UPA ally RJD members at Congress Party Chief behest filibustering the bill passage and,
Subsequently Congress Party Ministers viz. Telecommunication Minister Kapil Sibal abrupt disruption declaring winter session conclusion just prior to ruling on Jan Lokpal confirms UPA trepidation on effective Jan Lokpal to eradicate corruption epidemic originating from political power.
UPA ministers and RJD performance overriding Parliamentary rule and Chair authority in direct violation of Parliamentary procedure are impeachable.
The unprecedented event evolving into chaos beyond reproach undermines national sovereignty.
Evidently UPA resistance towards Jan Lokpal in the past eighteen months claiming innocent life, imprisonment of peaceful and non-violent activists against corruption and last but not the least –
The autocratic imposition of Lokpal bill in Loksabha i.e. the lower house rejecting oppositions and civil society amendment requirements,
Not barring submissions from UPA significant allies – providing life support to remain in power is contradictory to Parliamentary protocol,
Besides exhibiting disdain and utter disregard for electorates’ representation in Parliament.
Parliament sanctity subjected to assault with UPA and RJD leaderships unruly conduct clearly demonstrates the destructive course to prevent Jan Lokpal emergence as the bastion to curtail corruption in the society.
The opposition’ account of Rajya Sabha – the upper house discussion on corruption bill transformed into mayhem solidifies unanimous disappointment and grave concern for Indian democracy.
Furthermore, Prime Minister Man Mohan Singh slighting the major opposition leader Arun Jaitley’s request to intervene in Parliament session revival for ruling is suggestive of UPA 2 pre-determined position to bury Jan Lokpal bill.
Based on congress led UPA government undemocratic policies since Jan Lokpal inception until now,
The opposition leaders from all parties as democratically elected officials are urged to reconvene Rajya Sabha and stand united in passing formidable Jan Lokpal incorporating civil society proposals and various relevant amendments from different factions in Parliament aimed at strengthening the bill –
Contributing to exemplary moral and ethical institution in Jan Lokpal to curb burgeoning corruption.
UPA government under Congress authority being a minority in Rajya Sabha dictating terms is unconstitutional and,
Instead obligatory to honor the majority approved bill addressing public requirements in totality.
Any procrastination would clarify Congress Party sincerity or the lack thereof in uprooting corruption within and outside political domain.
Failure to cooperate in Parliamentary proceedings for ruling on Jan Lokpal would lead to oppositions’ necessary actions –
Moving forward with amended Jan Lokpal in Rajya Sabha.
Motion for no confidence vote against Congress Party controlled UPA.
Parliamentary inquiry against legislators Sonia Gandhi, P.Chidambaram, Kapil Sibal, Veerappa Molly, Lalu Prasad, MoS Parliamentary Affairs Minister Narayanasamy and affiliates implicated in myriad national scandals.
Prime Minister Man Mohan Singh holding the highest position in administration is constitutionally bound to deliver the pledge defending republic and national interest over internal or external influence.
UPA under Congress Party has lost credibility and integrity to continue in power.
The opportunity for UPA 2 damage control is available in accepting responsibility with humility and abiding by the constitutional law enacting Jan Lokpal bill per Parliamentary propriety.
Hopefully rationality would prevail among Congress Party leaderships to relinquish Jan Lokpal demolition through misguided intrusion in Parliamentary affairs.
The public expectation is on BJP and other oppositions to prove reliability in passing robust Jan Lokpal bill this winter session and restore republic governed democracy.
In anticipation of successful Jan Lokpal legislation, the nation as the largest democracy awaits Parliament resumption to complete voting on revised Jan Lokpal bill in Rajya Sabha.
Jai Bharat!
Peace to all!
Thank you.

India – UPA Passed Lokpal Bill
December 29, 2011
By Padmini Arhant
The government Lokpal bill passed in the lower house i.e. Loksabha without general consensus is an artful manipulation defending those at the political helm from accountability.
After declining opposition amendments and civil society submission on core issues directly targeting the origin that could have yielded a robust and functional bill,
The UPA government obliged Congress President Sonia Gandhi dictum tactfully aimed at circumventing probe against ruling administration past, present and future escapades.
Jan Lokpal was a public request to the ruling power and elected representatives to address corruption culture considering acute moral degradation exacerbated with humility deficiency prevalent in the political system depicting –
The seed bears the fruit of the kind.
The government pressure through media adapting to state broadcast mode on Team Anna and anyone opposing legislation designed to serve personal interest is a threat to democracy.
Airtime squandered in mockery and relentless attacks against legitimate opposition on government strategies affecting billion lives is a disservice to mass communication taking journalism to the lowest ebb.
Media role in democracy is crucial in representing people voice unlike the contemporary setting with political parties media ownership serving as propaganda machinery to quell dissent against detrimental policy and legislation.
Political leaderships and party proprietary rights over media is convenient to silence majority.
Not to mention the dangerous trend subverting truth and weakening democracy.
The undemocratic precedence attributed to enormous illegal wealth at disposal invested in broadcast network and/or forge alliance with corporate run media for mass deception and eternal terms in office.
Nonetheless, the ongoing debate in the upper house viz. Rajya Sabha analyzing the weak pro-government Lokpal bill for modification with recommended core issues enumerated earlier premised on –
None are above the law would be a step in the positive direction.
Parliamentary sessions are redundant without reaching agreement on meaningful legislation with revolutionary changes required for effective corruption eradication.
Unfortunately, with the lack of political will and serious commitment the much-anticipated legislation becoming law continues to remain contentious facilitating partisan politics at public expense.
The unwillingness to act or lack luster performance in enacting important legislation would unequivocally backfire for political parties in the forthcoming state assembly polls and later during national election.
Underestimating electorate awareness and mounting frustration over pervasive corruption is a political gamble with irreversible course in the sweeping change on the horizon.
Jan Lokpal blockade is impunity to political and privileged class in crimes against society.
Passing Jan Lokpal with relevant measures adopted to deter rather than promote corruption is every elected official’s constitutional responsibility and Parliamentary duty regardless of political hierarchy.
Meanwhile, the ruling power and oppositions alike candid disclosure and surrender of assets acquired through misuse of power and illicit means is paramount to exemplify political class dedication to anti-corruption.
Failure to comply requirement that otherwise incumbent upon ordinary citizens with serious repercussions would clarify democracy legitimacy.
Ending corruption tradition along with secrecy era among the powerful is the cornerstone in the roadmap for corruption free India.
In the absence of these fundamentals the pursuit for economic and social development would be class oriented in the widening gap between the haves and have-nots,
Notwithstanding the adverse effects on national credibility and image.
Citizens’ initiative and activism across the spectrum is the key to liberation from corruption.
India against corruption under Shri Anna Hazare leadership and team efforts are commendable.
The crusade against corruption is primarily responsible for Jan Lokpal current discussion in Parliament.
India against corruption – national movement with Team Anna guidance epitomizes patriotism reflected in the selfless devotion and endurance of negative campaigns against them to derail the prospects of strong anti-corruption law.
The Parliamentarians have unique opportunity to redefine politics demonstrating ethical efficacy in the overwhelming endorsement of Jan Lokpal protecting nation at large against corruption.
Good Luck to Jan Lokpal approval and implementation this winter session!
Jai Bharat!
Peace to all!
Thank you.

India – Anti-Corruption Rally
December 27, 2011
By Padmini Arhant
Anti-corruption rally began in Mumbai and New Delhi in protest against government introduced corruption bill.
Shri Anna Hazare is on three-day fasting expressing dissent over government Lokpal bill.
Considering the report that Shri Anna Hazare is unwell and prescribed antibiotics for quick recovery,
Shri Anna Hazare is kindly requested to skip fasting and instead observe silence (Maun Vrath) in continuation of commitment towards Jan Lokpal bill.
Shri Anna Hazare’s health and well being is vital in every aspect.
The Gandhian crusade against corruption nationally empowers the voiceless and defenseless in civil society.
The government Lokpal bill currently passed to protect Congress Party President Sonia Gandhi and Home Minister P. Chidambaram implicated on numerous corruption scandals is worthy of condemnation.
Specifically, the clause defending Members of Parliament right to continue as Cabinet Ministers and lawmakers despite judicial trials against them on corruption charges is an affirmation for the status quo.
Misleading the nation in the direction in defiance of morality and ethics affecting national credibility is a kamikaze action with serious repercussions noted in the latest developments across the Middle East and Italy.
Not to mention the inevitable electoral backlash in the forthcoming state assembly and national election.
The republic version seeks the following legitimate proposals:
Jan Lokpal autonomy rather than government appointed Lokpal committee to prevent conflict of interest.
CBI brought under Jan Lokpal Ambit for investigation and due process to curb corruption across the spectrum.
The current arrangement with incumbents control over CBI is unanimously admitted among ruling and opposition members in Parliament as gross misuse of power.
Citizens charter and lower bureaucracy under Jan Lokpal,
Besides other relevant inclusions related to Prime Minister and corporations laid by IAC for effective anti-corruption law.
Nationwide – State Lokayukta implementation without procrastination would enormously ease the marginalized demography’s painful experience in daily life.
Arriving at general consensus is possible provided members of Parliament regardless of political differences assume responsibility to serve in public and national interest by passing Jan Lokpal bill to eliminate corruption.
Winning elections – the political parties primary goal is not achievable unless the electorate plight is sincerely acknowledged beginning with crippling corruption and basic human needs such as safe drinking water, solar power and other renewable energy sourced electricity, clean environment and repaired roads are delivered to the frustrated vast majority.
India against corruption is corruption victims’ generated movement represented by Shri Anna Hazare and dedicated team members having endured series of litmus tests conducted to deter Jan Lokpal emergence.
The success of Jan Lokpal lies with every citizen in India against corruption – the epidemic eroding national resources and taxpayers hard earned savings held in offshore tax havens and illegal bank accounts.
People tired of prevalent corruption and bribery have a unique opportunity to join Shri Anna Hazare in Mumbai and every corner of the country in enacting strong meaningful Jan Lokpal bill.
Youth in India have a greater responsibility as emerging and future leaders in energizing the nation and accelerate momentum on monumental national legislation.
Although Shri Anna Hazare leadership is focused and determined to prevail,
Citizens’ cooperation and participation is paramount to demonstrate against inherently flawed system upheld by political establishment and elitist allies in the society.
Ending corruption culture espousing bribery on basic to advanced services,
Double standards maintained in transparency and accountability with political class and surrogates granted life impunity from inquiry and judicial proceedings.
Meanwhile average citizens subjected to rigorous and undemocratic scrutiny.
Furthermore, it is important to realize the youth, middle class and lower income bear the tax burden attributed to various scandals costing national exchequer trillions of dollars that essentially belongs to the republic.
Freedom from corruption is a second independent struggle concerning all those affected by fraudulent practice.
Zero tolerance to corruption through peaceful and non-violent assembly urging political leaderships in the ruling and opposition to pass Jan Lokpal bill is an immediate priority.
The local population dealing with routine corruption cannot afford any delay notwithstanding adverse effects from weak Lokpal bill.
Please rise to the occasion and support Jan Lokpal rally organized by India against corruption under Shri Anna Hazare and team in Mumbai and across the nation.
It is not the time for complacency rather formidable coalescence urgently required to take back India and restore republic governed democracy.
Once again, Shri Anna Hazare switching to Maun Vrath and resuming food intake for health reasons would benefit the honorable leader and the nation at large.
Good Luck to Jan Lokpal legislation becoming the national law!
Peace to all!
Thank you.
