Of course he is not into sex rackets but financial manipulation needs a serious investigation. Empire runs in to billions of dollars parkrd in trusts run by Sri Sri family. A 10 day visit to Bangalore ashram can set you back by Rs25000. No receipts no audit. No details of welfare activities; only generalities like hundreds of schools, relief work during disasters, no specific examples. I think for NGOs accounts have to be made public. The latest addition to the cult business is Sri Sri himself claiming that he can perform miracles like charging of cell phones by placing these in front of his photo, replacing the lost mobile phones, representing God himself to waiting devoties, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-86793200347013494782013-09-14T22:19:00.868+05:302013-09-14T22:19:00.868+05:30Let me put the whole thing in perspective with the...Let me put the whole thing in perspective with the clinical precision of an investigative journalist with loads of common sense.<br /><br />As a journalist, I was sickened – just as my good friend Atal Behari Vajpayee was when Godhra happened.<br /><br />I remember clearly the pained expression on his face when he said to telly cameras:<br /><br />Iskey baad, duniyaa ko main kyaa aur kaisey moonh dikhaaoonga?<br /><br />[After this, what kind of countenance would I be able to show to the world and how would one be able to do so at all?]<br /><br />That was 2002.<br /><br />Since then, Modi has been going from strength to strength. <br /><br />An entire Muslim enclave voted for him virtually – in an overwhelming 98% majority in local body polls.<br /><br />The average Gujju – Hindu, Muslim, Parsi, Christian … you name anyone, is undoubtedly saying, જો ગોધરા હત્યાકાંડ પુનરાવર્તન આ સ્થિતિમાં દરેક એક માટે ખર્ચાળ સાબિત થાય છે. વધુ આગળ અમને દો, કૃપા કરીને!<br /><br />[Repeating the Godhra massacre is proving costly to everyone in this state. Let us more forward, please!]<br /><br />That is why Modi has won thrice.<br /><br />Then there is DG Vanzara and his so-called confessional letter.<br /><br />I would read the following into his statements.<br /><br />1. Some deal was promised to Vanzara by those close to Modi. It did not happen owing to some misunderstanding.<br /><br />2. Vanzara is tired of being inside a prison.<br /><br />3. He holds Modi and Amit Shah [who may even have orally given the orders for the mass murders, in the worst case scenario] more guilty for his [Vanzara’s] sorry plight than those who lost their lives.<br /><br />4. Vanzara wanted his promised compensation – whatever that had been.<br /><br />5. Being sort of sure that compensation isn’t going to happen, from the prison, he perhaps approached the other side – like the Congress or some political bête noire working for the downfall of Modi. <br /><br />6. Till obtaining the statement, the other side obviously promised heavens to Vanzara. <br /><br />7. Now, the die is cast. Vanzara has blamed Modi lock, stock and barrel.<br /><br />8. The other side has succeeded in its quest. If it has not paid Vanzara a penny till now, the other side will pretend not to know Vanzara. The dialogue would be: The job is done. Poor fellow, he did not get the money … so … there are many in this world who get gypped. Bechaara bewaqoof banke, phans gayaa Vanzara. Aaj who pappu liquid oxygen mein dubaaney kaa prayaas ho rahaa hai. Liquid uskee naak mein dam karkey marney kee majbooree paidaa kar rahee hai … lekin oxygen usko zabardastee zindaa rakh rahee hai! <br /><br />9. And then the cop admitted to being a disciple of that bundlebaaj Ass Ram!<br /><br />In a nutshell, the testimony of Vanzara, who has admitted to wrongdoing, is not worth a burnt out match because the deeds were done by him.<br /><br />And if I were to be Modi, I would go public with this and say:<br /><br />I have always respected the law of this nation. <br /><br />I will not lift a little finger from now on in this matter in my defence.<br /><br />Let the courts decide whether they would want the progressive state of Gujarat to slip into total chaos on the issue of a religious divide over what had happened over a decade ago and risk the possible mayhem by sending me to prison. This is regardless of the fact that I am not pleading guilty at all. I insist I am innocent of all wrongdoing. I will do what the Bapu Gandhiji did in Champaaran during the freedom struggle and submit to a justice system loaded against me – due to machinations of those who are against the progress of Gujarat first and the people of India next. If chaos and mayhem is India’s Karma engineered by the handiwork of a few lakeer kay fakeers … who am I to stop it?<br /><br />That would shut everyone’s mouth but for singing Dandiya songs.<br /><br />All this does not mean I support Modi.<br /><br />All this not mean that I am saying Modi will surely win.<br /><br />I am only saying if anyone has a chance of beating the Congress due to its own follies, it is one Narendra Modi.<br /><br />That is where the buck has stopped … for now.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-12757589755642022062013-09-12T13:33:17.178+05:302013-09-12T13:33:17.178+05:30So...I'm confused.
