Mmm.......power, says the Con'gress

It seems the traitors in the country are having a field day. The country already knows that the Congress party only believes in one thing, utter and complete control of the state, and that their taste for power, or rather, absolute power, remained sharp. If you notice the way things are taking place in the country, the bastards are playing a two-pronged game. With Manmohan Singh, Chidambaram, Montek et al, they are trying to bring liberalization into the economy. They are trying to bring progress with a human face (whatever that means), but being a political party that is steeped in nepotism and a very selfish attitude, they must have something in return. And how must the country repay the politicians for the job that they are doing? By giving up on our freedom, on our fundamental rights, and our rights to an equal and just society.

First things first, why do the politicians in this country think they are doing us a favor when they do something good? Isn't it their job to try to do the best for the country anyways? Before I continue asking myself these almost rhetorical questions, let me shake myself and bring myself back to reality. I am in India. I am in a unique state with such vibrant people who have tasted success in the world for the first time in our independent history and are aching for more, but at the same time I am in the state with leaders, if we can call them that, who have such rotted senses that they can only think of themselves before anything else, a class which has tried to subvert this nation many times, and continues to try to do so.

Look at the legislation that the Queen's party is trying to bring in. Remember the Office of Profit Bill? Congress tried to play with fire, trying to disqualify rival politicians on charges of holding offices of profit, but the fire came back to burn them as well. So what does the Con'gress do? Simple, you bring about a legislation that exempts all the posts which are held by you and your allies from the 'office of profit' tag. And actually it works out in the favor of the Con'gress. After all, their esteemed Traitors Numero Uno, the bloody commies are in the same boat as them, and they are more than happy to help their fellow brothers out.

Then of course, is the Education bill that Arjun Singh, or rather, his boss, the Queen, is trying to pass. We all know what it is, and we all know where it is going. Apparently for the Congress it will be best for India to close its eyes and accept things as they are, because for a party so hungry for power, nothing that comes in its way can stop it. Oh, you are the common man you say? Sorry, your elected representatives forgot you existed decades ago. Now you are just a sheep in a herd who'se wool needs to be sheared every couple of years. It is a time-honored ritual, this shearing process, also called elections in different languages and cultures. It is when the sheep are fattened by false promises, tall claims, and crocodile tears. Once the sheep are happy and ready to shed this thing called the vote, the herders, or politicians in this case, move in and take all the wool they want. Once the sheep is without the wool, much like the people who take part in our 'Democratic' process, they aren't of much use to the politician, of course, till the sheep grow their wool back. This circle of life has been on for some decades now, and heck if I know we'll ever see a change.

Then today, I read that the illustrious Government of India has sacked the Director of one of India's finest institutions, All India Institute of Medical Sciences or AIIMS. Why did they fire Dr. P Venugopal? I am not certain about the details, but I believe it is because the Con'gress tried to replace the board of the institution with their own cronies and ministers and the good doctor opposed such an act of subversion by our masters. Oh fuck him I say. How dare he stand against the mighty wave of government oppression in the new century. Hey, everyone's doing it. Look at China, who have the key to how it all works; you make cheap goods for the world, and the world will let you oppress your own people. Its working great for them, it eases the time to clear villages and neighborhoods to build massive buildings and it certainly saves time in court.

Now that the world has finally started talking about India and China in the same breath, it is safe to say they are still miles ahead in the infrastructure. So that India too stands tall among the emerging nations of this world, the Government is keen that we match the development of China. And it is in this light that you see the Con'gress trying hard to look like the Communist part of China. The Government already has consultants in place for this venture, they are the big consultancy firm called the Chinese Puppets in India (Monkey), or the CPI (M).

AIIMS director Venugopal sacked

In a shocking development, the governing body of All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) sacked its Director Dr P Venugopal. Although the decision was 'not unanimous', no voting took place before concluding Venugopal's services.

The three-hour-long meeting of a 17-member body of the institute passed the resolution for Venugopal's ouster despite three members expressing a voice dissent, said senior BJP leader V K Malhotra.

Malhotra termed the decision as 'controversial', adding "This was a draconian step and does not happen even in case of dictatorship or emergency."

Describing the development as "blackest and saddest" day, Malhotra said Ramadoss suddenly brought in a supplementary resolution seeking removal of Dr Venugopal.

Three of the members voiced their dissent over the ouster, he said. It was a humiliation to person of Venugopal's repute, Malhotra said and accused the UPA government of destroying the autonomy of the premier institution "brick-by-brick".

Dr venugopal would be given his salary for three months, however, his services would terminate immediately. Venugopal, who was asked to sit outside the meeting hall when the issue concerning him was being taken up for discussion, did not talk to the waiting reporters.

Health Ministry sources said the meeting discussed the conduct of Venugopal for going public on an issue, which could otherwise be discussed in the in-house forum available to him.
They stressed the director was asked to explain his conduct. The institute body also forwarded the decision to the Centre to initiate action against Venugopal for his conduct, which was "detrimental to the interest of the public", they said.

Meanwhile, the resident doctors and medical students of AIIMS have gone on strike and the emergency and casualty departments have shut down.

The governing/institute body had begun their meeting at Nirman Bhavan on Wednesday. This ‘extraordinary meeting’ was called by Ramadoss, who is also president of AIIMS, is seen as a means of removing Dr Venugopal. According to the AIIMS Act, 1956, the body can remove the director ‘in public interest’.

Meanwhile, on Tuesday Delhi High Court had dismissed a PIL (by a social activist) seeking demarcation of clear powers between Union Health Minister A Ramadoss and Director of AIIMS. As a reaction to this, AIIMS’ students, resident doctors and faculty members had gone to court challenging the legality of the governing body and institute body.

Seven representatives from the institute signed the petition, filed by head of the neurosurgery department Dr Kale. It challenges the inclusion of the minister as well as Health Secretary P K Hota in the governing body. It says any such appointment is contrary to the autonomous character of AIIMS as envisaged under Section 4(E) of the institute.

The petition also challenges the selection of Dr Rajashekharan (a close relative of the Health Minister) as chairman of the selection committee. It seeks a direction to the Centre for constituting a high-level committee of eminent persons to manage the affairs of AIIMS to protect its ‘autonomous character’.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hmm, let me look at this fair process, so the governing body is headed by the Health minister, who made his close relative the chairman of the selection committee, and this fair body did not vote on the issue, but just handed out it's decision. Hats off to the Con'gress I say.

IMA slams Venugopal's removal, seeks intervention of President, PM

Describing the sacking of AIIMS Director P Venugopal as "a blatant slap on the face of the medical profession", the Indian Medical Association (IMA) today said the move was yet another instance of "tremendous political interference" in the functioning of the institute.

Seeking the intervention of the President and the Prime Minister in the matter, IMA President-elect Sanjeev Malik said, "It is a very, very unfortunate decision. It is a reflection that we are losing the autonomy of premier institutions and medical health services in the country.

Malik said, "The removal of Venugopal, a person who has brought glory to the country by conducting the first cardio transplant, and his being summarily dismissed in such a humiliating manner will be extremely demoralising for medical professionals of the country.

"I would only appeal to President A P J Abdul Kalam and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to personally intervene to ensure that the situation does not go out of control...It is a very, very sad day for the medical profession in India," he said.
-----------------------------------------------------------

A couple of doctors were against the Director for allowing some students to take part in the anti-reservation steer, and it being a pet project of the Congress, of course it won't go down well with our lords and masters. So, the people of India, like i said before, get back in your heard, pray that your herdsman feed you, and STOP QUESTIONING THE GOVERNMENT.
