Haneef, exonerated and cleared for work in 'down under'.

The 'Haneef' episode has left everyone with a really ugly taste in one's mouth and it is not going away anytime soon.The Aussie police and the prosecution had failed to prove their case against dr.Haneef in the high court, and in face of that loss, the ex minister Kevin Andrews labelled Haneff as a person of 'Low character' and said that he had failed the 'character' test, a test that is ambiguous in nature and one that allowed the immigration minister unlimited powers as to who he would allow into 'Down under' and whom he can kick out.

Kevin Andrews and the federal police have single handed destroyed the Aussie image of peace loving and tolerant people. Instead, they have made sure that the only image that the world is going to have of Australia is one of intolerance, hatred and typecasting. The general opinion in Australia is that Kevin Andrews is a colossal ass and as to whether that is true or not, I am not able to confirm.

But when the federal court refused to overturn the high court's verdict regarding Haneef, he [Kevin Andrews] must have felt like one.
Both John Howard and Kevin Andrews have a lot to answer for all they put an innocent man through, stripping him of his civil rights and detaining him under false pretences and manufacturing evidence so that he can be imprisoned.
Anyway, the latest is that dr.Haneef can now get his work visa back and it is true what they say, 'as long as you are right, you will always win'! Congrats, Haneef!

The Nandigram shocker!

Just when you think that you know what the politicians are capable of, they do something that makes you think them as someone lesser than animals. Politicians are a breed unto themselves and that breed in particular behaves worse than animals from time to time. i am sure that there are A lot of politicians who are good and honest. But by and large, they are a minority.
What has happened in Nandigram is a case in example, Nandigram is a village located in West bengal, governed by the Left parties. The left parties had proposed to build a SEZ there in Nandigram in collusion with the TATA group and to this end they wanted to evacuate the villagers. The villagers were not interested in moving and fought tooth and nail for their village and their huts.After all, you may find that a beggar would fight all the more fiercely for his torn blanket than you or i would have. The villagers did not have much but whatever they had, they held onto it with dignity and respect. The Left parties sent in the rowdies to displace the villagers forcibly and in the process, raped some of the children of the villagers, shot a few women and men in the backs as they were fleeing and literally terrorised the entire village from top to bottom. In this process, they managed to strip away the dignity and the respect that these villagers held onto. Where is the justice fro Nandigram? Should a chief minister be allowed to hold office after it has been proved that this party and his party alone which was responsible for what has happened at Nandigram? To shoot someone in the back as they are fleeing is not just cowardly but nefarious as well. The villagers are all shell shocked and all of this was done in the name of development and money for the politicians pockets. Where is the justice? Will this cry bring the guilty to dock?
