Left Right Left
Only this weekend I witnessed one of the most well articulated episodes of Big Fight on NDTV 24 X 7. It was about Censor board, and the controversies associated with it. The person called to defend the board was the then board chairman himself, Anupam Kher. There were two ladies in the panel, and Rakesh Sharma, the director of 'internationally acclaimed' documentary film on Gujrat riots, Final Solution.
After the show, I had no doubt that Anupam stole the show. All his answers, counter arguments were articulate and logical. There were no blank statements, flowery speeches. Every statement by him was substantiated by valid logic. The fact that ladies were poorly prepared, also helped him.
But the way he pointed glorious deficiencies in the rule implementation and political interference, I wondered if he was getting too frank to the comfort. And lo, behold - within three days, he was out of the office, at the left's behest, who else. The reason - censor's hitch in passing the Final Solution. The fact that movie was passed only this week, that only by intervention of Kher himself, was too late too little for the left.
These are very sorry state of affairs. The way left is controlling and threatening every now and then is a la Jayalalita and Bal Thackrey rolled into one, and the way they are elbowing their leftist agenda - they are no less than a certain Murli Manohar Joshi. Now we have heard that UPA is asking to edit( rather glorify) the portions of emergency in Parkash Jha's film on Jai Prakash Narain.
The able man like Kher is out of the office. Now we will have Sharmila Tagore as a rubber stamp. I wonder when these old, dilapidated, ever cribbers leftists will leave the country for good. Leftism has been absolute failure in China, Russia, closer home in West Bengal, Kerala and Tripura. Barring last two, every one in the list is embracing rapid reforms.
But These leftists won't ever learn. Heard a quote from Sitaram Yechury - "The Chinese are like DTC buses. They give signal for 'left', but actually turn 'right' !" That sums up the situation. They are not even willing to learn from their fellow comrades, either. Sigh!
