Lebanon – Power Vacuum Threatens National Sovereignty And Stability
June 16, 2014
By Padmini Arhant
The Lebanese Parliament failure to elect President is a serious negligence of constitutional and legislative duty directly affecting governance and national security.
Lebanon constantly experiencing terror attacks and suicide bombings from Saudi Arabia backed Takfiri groups besides Israel’s reconnaissance including air strikes on key targets undermine sovereignty and stability.
Saudi Arabia, Israel and United States influence on political factions especially the March 14 alliance impede the latter responsibility towards constituents and national electorate.
The current stalling of parliamentary process in electing the President to lead the national defense force as well as presiding over government affairs endanger democratic system.
The choice for Presidential nominee premised on external sources preferences impact genuine representation required in a real democracy.
The continuous foreign interference through domestic political parties and other presence in disguise are reasons behind power vacuum and disruption in Lebanon’s governing body.
Lebanon political leaderships transcending partisanship and reservations could ease tensions and facilitate smooth operations necessary to address various issues confronting the nation at large.
The focus on stable government under strong and credible leadership barring intrusions from within and outside aimed at dysfunctional activities and discord for vested interests would reflect commitment to people and the country they are elected to serve regardless of ideology.
The Lebanese constitutional requirement based on religious allocations on political appointments such as Maronite Christian for Presidency, Shiite Muslim as Parliament Speaker and Sunni Muslim to Prime Minister position could be reviewed for amendment changing the criteria to accommodate individual ability, performance and integrity rather than faith oriented protocol.
Most importantly every Parliament member demonstrating courage to protect sovereign right evidently violated by regional and foreign powers would confirm independence.
The persisting political stalemate in Lebanon is favorable to elements against national unity and diversity not to mention the status quo increasing vulnerability and uncertainty with implications on economy and social structure.
When politics ignores national priorities for respective doctrine and foreign instigated strategies the consequences are pervasive and compound problems in different dimension.
Lebanon political pledge to defend national borders and providing citizens safety is largely dependent on consolidated efforts with army and civilian authorities constructive role in preventing terror and foreign infiltration.
The March 8 coalition i.e. Hezbollah resistance to security breach in Lebanon and neighboring states alongside national defense forces thus far instrumental in safeguarding boundaries that otherwise compromised in covert deployment of agents and operatives to promote internal disturbance.
Lebanon past political turbulence has not been without economic ramifications affecting tourism and major sectors subsequently depriving ordinary citizens livelihoods in the competitive global economy.
Additionally, the Syrian conflict resulting in refugee influx into Lebanon and adjacent states increase economic burden and humanitarian crises in the region.
Lebanon future is at stake in the ongoing political gridlock on the Presidential candidate approval.
The parliamentary obligations in this regard could no longer be differed considering prevalent repercussions due to vacancy in the office of Presidency.
Hopefully political consensus would be arrived ending void with expeditious election of the commander-in-chief of Lebanon.
Good Luck! To Lebanon citizens across the spectrum for peaceful resolution moving forward towards national election in a timely manner.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Syria – Presidential Election 2014
June 8, 2014
By Padmini Arhant
Congratulations! To Syrian electorate, President Bashar al-Assad, Syrian defense force and national assembly on the successful democratic election with impressive political mandate.
Syrian citizens resolve demonstrated in the self-determination rights and ability to move ahead despite foreign powers sponsored three years old conflict involving terror networks deployment that has claimed over 160,000 lives and left millions as refugees in the country and across the border.
Syria confronted with international warfare continues to endure violence with foreign backed mercenaries committing atrocities and some were engaged in cannibalism, dismembering deceased body, decapitation, summary executions and chemical attacks against innocent victims nationwide.
The infrastructure damage including desecration of holy sites, cultural centers, educational and health care facilities, disrupting electricity supply and stealing oil resources for export to Turkey and elsewhere are routine activities at external and regional sources behest that cost more than US$ 100 billion to Syrian economy.
Not to mention the constant strikes with explosives and artillery targeting public premise for maximum destruction is yet another strategy for sponsors unrelenting to ceasefire.
Geneva I accord in June 2012 and Geneva II meeting in early 2014 was a failure due to Unites States and allies persistence to prolong terrorism in Syria ignoring consequences such as rising death toll and humanitarian crises in the war torn nation.
The international consensus on ending terror operations and diverse violence in Syria arguably rejects foreign agenda and accordingly the nations involved in proxy war against Syrian people are isolated as a result.
Syrian Presidential election has declared the sovereign authority on political decisions and declined outside interference in Syria’s internal affairs especially with the introduction of groups representing hegemony for destabilization like in Ukraine and Thailand.
United States and coalition imposed economic sanctions and brutal terrorism is responsible for bloodshed and devastation since attacks in March 2011 and up until now.
Syrian voters and diaspora expressed their unequivocal support to incumbent administration headed by President Bashar al-Assad and most importantly the Syrian defense force for their tireless engagement in protecting territorial integrity and releasing hostages from terror stronghold neighborhoods in Damascus, Aleppo, Homs, Idlib and across the country.
The current election validates the political solution in electing the leadership and government pledged to safeguard national and republic interest.
Although the government is faced with combating foreign funded and equipped terrorism, the solidarity in Syrian society evidently serves as the model in opposition to subjugation and dominance.
The challenges and excruciating experience aside, the national spirit and commitment towards nation building fundamentally motivates Syrians to strive for positive development.
Syria having survived the worst humanitarian crimes in the full frontal war could no longer be undermined as the turmoil only solidified the nation against unlawful assaults and inhumane practice.
Syria would remain the beacon of hope in the region.
The Presidential victory is testimony to the electorate trust and faith in the system as well as governance that provides for all transcending communal and sectarian trait often proved as hindrance in pervasive progress.
Best Wishes to Syrian citizens, President Bashar al-Assad along with members across political spectrum and Syrian national army in achievements for a promising future.
Peace to Syria!
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Palestine – Unity Government Formation
June 4, 2014
By Padmini Arhant
Congratulations! To citizens in Palestine and Fatah as well as Hamas leaderships on the unity government headed by Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah along with ministers from both political factions constituting national representation.
The bipartisanship is the preliminary step towards addressing basic to most challenging issues such as the long overdue Palestinian statehood independent from foreign occupation viz. Israeli, United States or UN forces notwithstanding any unilateral sanctions that has crippled Gaza economy and made survival nearly impossible.
The new government face tough problems considering Israeli authorities stance on the latest development regrettably perceived as a threat to status quo.
Israel holding tax revenues from West Bank and declining to free detainees in opposition to unified Palestine is erroneous decision and could inevitably result in further isolation in the region and rest of the world.
Again Israel or anyone else rejecting Palestinian political groups peaceful merger would mean they are not in favor of harmony and amicable resolution.
Nonetheless when people in occupied territories i.e. West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem al-Quds are denied normal existence due to –
Accelerated settlement activity,
Troops deployment with check posts,
Apartheid wall,
Demolition of locals’ homes,
Farmers olive trees burned down,
Fishermen in Gaza not allowed access and,
Last but not the least the military raid in al-Aqsa mosque including attack on worshippers and many apprehended without any formal charges…continues unabated in the absence of consequences for aggression against innocent victims in the political struggle.
Accordingly the political leaderships in Ramallah and Gaza cannot afford prolonged suffering in the besieged land.
The international recognition of the Palestinian government set up on popular will would clarify the world commitment to peace since regional stability is dependent on Palestinian freedom.
Palestinian authorities efficient governance would rely on administration function preventing corruption and remaining steadfast in providing necessities despite restraints producing shortages in food and medical supplies with Israeli blockade and military incursion.
The global support to the recently formed government in trade and commerce through economic growth oriented investments,, multilateral ties in building infrastructure and job creation would ease the burden on the suppressed economy.
Meanwhile, ending Israel’s presence and complete troop withdrawal from Palestinian domain together with freezing controversial settlement program would demonstrate global pledge towards fairness and equality.
The consistent failure in Mideast peace process attributed to Israel and sponsor’s disingenuous involvement setting criteria while not being in compliance with same demands on Palestinian people..
Israel’s credibility could be restored upon honoring territorial integrity of Palestinian area and neighboring states borders constantly violated ignoring international law arguably lacking in universal enforcement.
Additionally, the unconditional release of all Palestinian detainees on hunger strike and others deprived of legal course would perhaps foster better relations with nations besides Israel’s familiar allies in the world.
Furthermore United States solemn oath to protect Israel disregarding the latter human rights record especially against Palestinian population not excluding minors as young as eleven years or under highlight the former departure from democratic principles and human values blindly surrendering to Israel’s dominance on the United States political system.
Palestinian government and political members from different platform sharing common vision with primary goal to liberate Palestine strengthening capability in every respect would enhance economic, political, humanitarian and social prospects for citizens in subjugation.
Wishing Palestinian citizens, refugees, leaderships and incumbent government success in endeavors contributing to patriotic interest.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

India – Politics Governed By Deception And Misrepresentation is Destructive
May 29, 2014
By Padmini Arhant
Indian political system premised on plutocracy comprising affluent members from dynasty, economic sector and performers from television and film industry pledged allegiance to hegemony agenda promotes self-destructive ideology and misrepresentation through innuendoes resulting in inevitable disaster especially for those in collusion in any manner.
The willful misconduct in adherence to internal and external sources ill-advised strategy would mean kamikaze indulgence with ripple effect on the entire establishment.
The political structure marred with corruption and third of elected members admittedly from criminal background besides false disclosure on educational qualifications and personal data misleading constituents and nation confirm the lack of integrity known to be a rare commodity in politics.
Notwithstanding the foreign national led faction as the extension of imperialism having depleted treasury and led the nation towards unprecedented setbacks in every respect eclipse the prospects for a new beginning.
Unfortunately the elements espousing detrimental aspirations in cooperation with unscrupulous enterprise pose hindrance in India’s ability to rise and reach milestones at the expense of vast majority in the country.
The elected government headed by Prime Minister Narender Modi with massive political capital is subject to litmus test on the courage and determination to eliminate the epidemic of corruption, black money recovery and tax evasions arguably suppress growth and development despite the work force tremendous potential.
Last but not the least investigation and accountability without exceptions commencing with beneficiaries of Bofor scandal leading to scams up until now has burdened Indian economy and taxpayers in liabilities not to mention the depravation of national revenue denied billion population fair economic opportunity.
The ruling party tasked by the electorate to prove the political will in the crack down on corruption culture evidently corrosive and defy logic, legality and ethics.
Unlike the predecessor governance alluding to authoritarianism in the past decade that had little or zero tolerance to constructive analysis and alternative perspectives on government counterproductive policies or decisions,
The present authority respect for freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and individual rights barring negative smear campaigns and surveillance activity utilizing taxpayer funded contingency would clarify delineation from dysfunctional and defective politics.
India moving forward with due recognition for positive contributions is largely dependent on national preparedness to transcend parochial disposition and ancient caste system abrogation.
The hierarchy tradition notably degenerative and prevents the possibility for transformation into progressive egalitarian society.
Politics in particular exploiting religion, ethnicity and diverse orientation under the guise of secularism is behind tensions and communal divide nationwide.
The state and hegemony controlled communication media and press corps predominantly engaged in deflection of public attention from real issues to manufactured and fabricated events evade transparency.
The relentless pursuit targeting truth seekers and speakers being the voice for the voiceless and defenseless is the political trend to stifle challenge seeking fundamental change.
India’s independence would be verifiable upon disinheritance of foreign imposed subservience as dominion republic emerging to be reliable power in meeting expectations at every level.
Best Wishes to the marginalized and disenfranchised demography in the achievement of fairness and equality in the persistently exclusive political apparatus.
Peace to all!
Tbank you.

India – Ethics in Politics
May 25, 2014
By Padmini Arhant
Indian election is over and the winning political parties along with opposition are being sworn to various posts in the legislative assembly.
Meanwhile the relevant data released by National Election Watch (NEW) and Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) confirm that every third newly elected MP has a criminal case.
According to the report the trend in the election of parliament members with criminal charges disclosed in their affidavits exponentially higher in the 16th Lok Sabha i.e. the recently ended election.
Similarly the surge in 2009 was no less considering the influx of domestic and foreign funds in election campaign combined with the absence of accountability invalidating electability criteria.
Among 541 from 543 elected members – 186 otherwise 34 percent are declared to have criminal cases against them in the current electoral outcome with a sharp 4 percent increase than earlier.
The statistics reveal that out of 186 winning members in the latest Lok Sabha election with criminal charges –
112 or 21 percent of them acknowledged to have serious criminal cases notwithstanding murder, attempt to murder, responsible for communal clashes, abductions and crimes against women.
Furthermore, those with criminal background prevailing in the election evidently greater i.e. 13 percent compared with contestants in possession of clean record only having 5 percent winning chance.
Again 442 out of 543 i.e. 82 percent of winning candidates economic status is categorized as millionaires or crorepati.
Both major political parties – BJP 237 out of 281 – 84 percent and,
Congress 35 (80 percent) of 44 winners are millionaires / crorepatis not to mention the billionaires in the hierarchy.
As for the regional factions party wise – 29 (78 percent) of 37 winners in AIADMK and,
Trinamool Congress (TMC) 21 (62 percent) of 34 elected members admittedly have assets exceeding 1 crore / million or more.
The average asset for individual winner is Rs. 14.61 crore / million and each candidate including those losing elections is Rs. 3.16 crore.
BJP 281 successful candidates average wealth is Rs. 11.59 crore whereas 44 Lok Sabha representative for Congress average asset net worth Rs. 16.71 crore.
In terms of literacy in the just concluded election – the report highlights on one elected candidate as self-claimed illiterate.
Moreover 125 (23 percent) winners have educational qualifications Class 12 or below.
Simultaneously 405 (75 percent) are graduates and above.
On the age group – 202 (37 percent) fall in the age group 25 – 50 years.
298 (55 percent) are between 51 -70 years.
The remaining 41 elected are 71 and over.
The gender ratio difference is still substantial with 61 (11 percent) women elected to parliament with 543 seats despite the representation relatively better than the number – 57 women in 2009 election result.
Obviously the political reform encompassing appropriate standards to perform the constitutional duty as diligent capable lawmakers with credibility and integrity urgently required for proper understanding and implementation of laws demonstrating effective governance.
The disclosure is a reflection of the political system disconnect with mainstream reality.
The lack of transparency and political immunity facilitates tradition ignoring ethics and eligibility for the position in public office.
However, the new concept and framework will be provided in this context to improve efficiency and reliance on government role besides independence from hegemony dominance.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

India – General Election 2014 Result Review
May 19, 2014
By Padmini Arhant
India’s 2014 national election concluded with massive victory for Prime Ministerial candidate Narender Modi and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) gaining absolute majority without coalition requirement to form government.
British Empire appointee Alan O. Hume founded Congress contemporarily headed by party chief Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and family experienced colossal defeat in the recent election.
Congress Party tallied 44 out of 543 seats in the Lower House aka Lok Sabha polls this year.
The party’s substantial decline attributed to numerous corruption scandals, black money in Swiss banks and tax havens, soaring inflation, high unemployment and violence against women besides terror attacks in Mumbai, New Delhi and Bangalore…in the past three years under Congress UPA2 governance.
Notwithstanding government clamp down on anti-corruption rally resulting in casualty and youth peaceful protest related to assault on women infiltrated by politically instigated anti-social elements caused police personnel death and left several injured in the capital, New Delhi.
Similarly the Congress party and regional allies nationwide suffered setbacks and failed to win any Lok Sabha seats from prominent states like Tamil Nadu, Delhi, Jammu and Kashmir and more.
The electoral mandate is for fundamental change in political system transcending exclusivity and partisanship on social as well as economic issues dominant in the previous and the outgoing administration.
On the economic front, the politics prioritized campaign financiers interests and pursued external forces globalization agenda with little or no concern towards impact on local community.
The taxpayers funded government in the last decade was preoccupied in battling corruption charges and opposing anti-corruption law enactment.
Furthermore, the representation in Parliament was not inclusive and instead shared among the affluent, famous and powerful in society.
Accordingly, the political backlash against once regarded main party Congress and allies witnessed in 2014 election.
Indian electorate response understandably aimed at political reform with adequate mainstream participation in Parliament encompassing the marginalized and disenfranchised demography that could subsequently lead to fair income distribution, economic growth and development in areas long neglected due to lack of investment.
India’s progress confined to wealthy segments while the remaining citizens across the nation burdened with economic woes arguably influenced voter decision.
Additionally loss of national revenue from tax evasion and corruption contributed to large voter turnout rejecting those responsible for status quo.
Some states also set precedence in 2014 election expressing dissent on misuse of political capital denying those groups electability from the respective territory.
Nonetheless, the political structure is far from being perfected considering the reelection of some incumbents despite their involvement in high profile scams and investigations stifled to prevent exposure.
The constituents enabling the return of these candidacies perhaps expect different performance even though such anticipation earlier delivered disappointment maintaining the trend in empty promises on campaign trail and continuation of business as usual.
Indian election has provided unique possibility for real transformation in every frontier and Prime Minister-elect Narender Modi with BJP leaders and others support could realize goals for the entire nation leaving behind none in the process.
Congratulations and Best Wishes! To Prime Minister-elect Narender Modi, BJP and NDA alliance and political factions on the success and impressive record.
The roadmap for India’s rebirth will be presented in due course following the landmark election.
Jai Bharat!
Peace to all!
Thank you.

India – General Election 2014
April 25, 2014
By Padmini Arhant
Indian general election is underway with final outcome expected in Mid May 2014.
The two major political parties – the outgoing UPA 2 headed by the Congress party chief Sonia Gandhi and family and,
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) – the NDA together with regional partners seek re-election to retain control in the Indian political system.
Last but not the least is the introduction of the so-called Common Man Party (AAP) to discredit recommendation on this website for genuine mainstream political party.
The suggestion was made to offset prevalent plutocracy comprising celebrities, industrialists and political dynasty dominance deriving exclusive gains against national and republic interest.
The common man party with broom as mascot implies sly response to remark (again on this website) to clean up widespread corruption in India.
Such choice not only confirm the lack of seriousness in public service but also slight average citizens and middle class plight.
AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal – previously employed in Income Tax department is Congress nominee with hegemony sponsorship evident in campaign donations, political posturing and media promotion for the affiliate.
The relationship was formalized equivalent to tying the nuptial knots following the Delhi State Assembly election when AAP forged alliance with Congress to form government.
Subsequently AAP government resigned from power in Delhi State Assembly abandoning Delhi administration and electorate analogous to stood up bride with the distinction here being deserted by the groom with the broom at the marriage ceremony.
AAP leadership and associates are now on pilgrimage to the Holy City Varanasi perhaps on Kasi Yatra! – the journey often considered by those contemplating Sanyas or renunciation of worldly life although in this instance it might be retirement from politics.
Hopefully Kasi voyage is enlightening for AAP members and poet Kumar Viswas in particular in understanding Kasinath – the Visweshwar – God Shiva.
There are further revelations on Congress organized India against corruption (IAC) in 2011 with core members – Anna Hazare, Kiran Bedi, Arvind Kejriwal and Shanti Bhushan participation apparently to disqualify and derail authentic demand for effective anti-corruption law or Jan Lokpal bill encompassing Right to Recall among various other important measures that are required for political reform.
Accordingly, the IAC committee representatives owe valid explanation to the people and the nation at large having raised false hopes on graft legislation while the reality confirm collusion with political establishment and hegemony.
The desperate maneuvers from Congress to win third term considering the sharp decline in popularity due to soaring inflation, unemployment, numerous scandals, land scam deals and refusal on accountability in black money held in Swiss bank, Singapore, Dubai and several overseas tax haven and shelter clarify subversion for political salvation.
Similarly, the opposition BJP also shares controversial involvement at the regional and national level viz. the state of Karnataka and Rajasthan besides inaction to implement meaningful corruption remedy and investigation on tax evasion alluding to complicity with incumbency.
The security lapse conspicuous in the rampant crimes against women and terror attacks in Mumbai, New Delhi and Bangalore in the past three years notwithstanding allegations on members of armed forces deployed in northeastern states and Kashmir regarding abuse of special immunity shielding offenders from inquiry.
State interference at hegemony behest leading to the death of rape victim in New Delhi demonstrated disrespect for ordinary citizens life while other prominent members making mockery of victim and family pain and misery exemplified callousness ignoring ill consequences via bad karma.
Likewise UPA2 i.e. Congress response to anti-corruption rally in June 2011 authorizing excess force against unarmed and peaceful civilians not even sparing children, women and elders contributed to casualty with the demise of female attendee Rajbala and many severely injured in the violent crackdown.
Not to mention the shooting incident in coastal Kerala involving Italian marines Massimiliano Lattore and Salvatore Girone show the innocent fishermen lives are dispensable to the state and national leadership.
Hegemony influence and authority over Indian politics and economy substantially increased in the last decade.
The intervention undermines sovereignty rendering electoral mandate mere catharsis to legitimize the illegitimate proxy rule.
Furthermore the intrusion went beyond tradition bypassing the central government in New Delhi when U.S. former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton held direct meetings with the State Chief Ministers Mamata Banerjee of West Bengal and Jayalalitha of Tamil Nadu to prove foreign discretion in discarding protocol.
The syndicate presence in India through communication media and entertainment industry for propaganda and misinformation intended to malign dissent on treason and mass deception.
Also included in the strategy is identity theft ascribing character to undeserving and contrarily for insinuations and enactments to stymie original entities in the divine mission.
Indian political structure nationwide premised on the next of kin succession to mantle of power defy democracy.
The alternative factions ruling states for decades exploit voter dilemma to choose between equally contentious options converting the situation mandatory rather than accessibility to viable representation.
The speculation on the current election is the possibility for coalition in the absence of absolute majority by any party.
The betting is on Chief Minister of West Bengal Mamata Banerjee, Jayalalitha of Tamil Nadu or former CM Mayawati of Uttar Pradesh even though all three of them like their counterparts carry excess political baggage pertaining to administrative negligence, corruption charges and misuse of power.
Indian political class with the rich, famous, royalty and dynasty safeguard own ambitions for wealth, power and prestige.
As a result the remaining 99% population deprived of fair political and economic opportunity reflective in the staggering number forced into abject poverty, hunger and disease.
Additionally the lower and middle-income categories are faced with economic struggles along side nepotism in both politics and work force.
The economically affluent could always serve the nation without being on taxpayer funded position, perks and privileges for that would determine individual integrity and selfless commitment to worthy cause.
Then there is hierarchy in caste, creed and diverse segregation with assertion from the self-proclaimed highest caste to appoint a member amongst untouchables for the key post in politics as a token of their magnanimity – a trait emulating colonial era.
Ironically such condescendence only highlights inherent flaws in human nature and the source indulgence in self-degradation.
The former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and Telegu Desam Party (TDP) leader Chandra Babu Naidu declared that the backward class member Krishnaiah would be the Chief Minister of the newly created Telangana state upon TDP emergence to power.
The ex-chief minister of Andhra Pradesh Chandra Babu Naidu overture perhaps emanates from massive suicides of farmers in the southern state during the term in office with the leadership prioritizing foreign ventures like Monsanto entry in agriculture business that led to tragic ending in the farming community unable to afford losses in the systemic misrepresentation by multinational corporation.
Relevantly, Congress unsuccessful attempts to implement the foreign direct investment (FDI) inviting the biggest retailer Wal-Mart and alike now pursued by BJP with the prime ministerial candidate Narender Modi touting support for the policy claiming to boost employment and economic growth.
Instead the political party intensive program to recover black money and offshore bank account holdings would exceed any foreign investment thereby protecting domestic retail industry and facilitating economic achievements in the immediate future.
On the nuclear power plant project in Koodankulam, Tamil Nadu – the central and state authorities typical reaction towards citizens on hunger strike is yet another example of politics loyalty to hegemony.
In foreign policy – Pakistan and China are regarded the problems based on territorial disputes, incursions and cross border tensions not barring militancy, Maoism and terror infiltration engaged in killing of Indian soldier such as decapitation in disguise – wearing Pakistani army uniform across the line of control (LOC) in Kashmir.
The events related to China are no different from skirmishes in the South and East China Sea together with United States pivot Asia stratagem and Korean peninsula heightened threats exacerbating regional security.
China economic status unfortunately is exalted in territorial annexation and arguably counterproductive for the nation dependent on neighbor and overseas market to maintain the manufacturing stronghold and productivity.
Hence, China’s recognition for India and other nations’ territorial integrity is critical for mutually beneficial economic trade and multifaceted dealings in the largest continent – Asia.
Whereas Pakistan is confronted with terror within the country and along borders adjoining Afghanistan, Iran, Bangladesh and India.
The reason behind Pakistan inability to contain terrorism is Saudi Arabia financing different terror networks and billion dollar monetary aid to Pakistan government, military as well as ISI personnel.
Moreover, decapitation is Saudi dynasty signature terror act witnessed in the kingdom and Saudi government recruited mercenaries in Syria.
The political, defense and intelligence apparatus bear collective responsibility to address burgeoning security crisis in Pakistan and adjacent areas in the Indian sub continent.
Pakistan perseverance to eliminate terror could eventually guarantee citizens safety inside and outside the country. The accomplishment would enable Pakistan to forge better relations with all shedding the reputation as failed state or terror refuge.
Simultaneously cash flow from Saudi Arabia and Ford foundation in the ongoing Indian election to the common man party (AAP), Congress, BJP and other political contenders appears to be open secret to preserve corruption culture in the convoluted version of free and fair election.
In conclusion India’s largest electorate an estimated 815 million casting ballots to elect political parties pledged allegiance to foreign conglomerate favoring power inheritance as entitlement and ideology in concurrence with polarization concept epitomize subjugation reviving the need for real independence and inclusive democratic rule.
Best Wishes to India for transformational progress touching the lives of the forgotten, forbidden and forlorn in the society.
Jai Bharat!
Peace to all!
Thank you.
