Ohh ! Newshour with Arnab again

Good Evening ! I am Arnab and tonight on Newshour we are talking about the US decision to reward anyone giving out details about Hafiz Saeed. 
With me on the Newshour tonight are: 
Mahroof Raza, the impeccable.
K.C. Singh, the incredible 
Joining me from Pakistan is Mr. Hilali (read as Hillei Lee)
And from Washington DC first time in the history of Indian Media we are joined in by Mrs. Hillary Lewinsky Clinton, O ! I beg your pardon, joining me from Washington DC is Mrs. Hillary Clinton. 

My first question as usual to Marhoof. Arnab: 

Mahroof ! Now that Washington has realised what I was telling them since all these years and have announced a bounty on the head of Hafiz Saeed, what do you see in this ?
Mahroof: Well ! Pakistan is cornered. It has to take action, if it wants to earn 10 million dollars. I know they will not arrest him because they have a suspicion that US might ditch them and won't pay them the money. India should not sit silent and should cry all the lungs out. If Pakistan does not take action now, then we should send our army in TATRA trucks to Pakistan to spy on him and find out his whereabouts. Then we should reveal the info about him to US and claim the bounty. This will serve us in the long run. We can pay 1 million dollars from the amount to our Gen VK Singh at the time of his retirement. Rest 9 million dollars could be handed over our government for them to decide about the share of each minister, sorry I mean say share of each ministry.

Arnab: My next question to KC.
KC! Is not this the vindictiveness of Indian stand on Pakistan ? Has US now realised that the real power of world is India?
KC: Yes, it is the recognition of our might. We told them that he is a terrorist and they announced the reward on his head. How can US afford to ignore our power? Afterall India is a real super power. World knows it. Pakistan knows that, China perhaps also knows that now. In a recent report by the International Academy for Economic Evaluation of Countries of Grandeur Delusion Club (GDC) , it is clearly stated how powerful India is. As per its report, India has an army which can win any war by using merely 3 % of its arsenal. Rest of the 97 % resource is simply meant to fill in the gaps and pockects. We possess TATRA trucks, we possess BOFORS guns, We possess AGNI. We possess RAJNI. We possess MIGs and PIGs. We possess PRITHVI and AAKASH VANI. We possess NUKES and MMS and last but not the least we possess ARNAB. We are the Power. Pakistan and US fear us and after reading this report I hope China will also start fearing us.

 My next question to Mr Hilali (read Hillei Lee)
Arnab: Mr. Hillei Lee, Do you feel ashmaed of youself today ? Come on, world wants to hear it from you tonight on your channel. Say ! yes, we are ashamed of ourselves for shielding and hiding a terrorist like Hafiz Syed. Say yes, Pakistan is a terrorist country. Come on world is watching you on your channel.

Mr. Hilali : Listen……. Mr. Arnab. This is all non sense (Arnab intervenes) Arnab: That is what India has been telling to the world. To engage with Pakistan is non sense. (Hilali want to speak again) and Arnab, Yes Mr. Hillei Lee we are listening you.
.
Mr. Hilali: You are putting words into my mouth Arnab. (Arnab intervens again)

Arnab: Come on ! Mr. Hillei Lee. You can't say that whatever I said is not true. (Hilali intervenes again) Hilali: Listen you dimwit scoundrel ! If you again talk in between, I will break your denture. You oily rodent. Let me talk. ( Arnab shuts up and looks like a zobie, listening all cooly). Why should Pakistan appologise for something imaginery? You claim that Hafiz Saeed is hiding but let me show you something. Hafiz Saeed is sitting with me here. He is watching your dripping nose and your over oiled hair. (Mr. Hilali asks cameraman to focus on Hafiz Syed) And Hafiz Syed starts speaking.

 Hafiz Syed: Ye paleet insaan kab sey kuttey ki tarah bhonk raha hai. Sunn ai mardood, Mei yahan hoon kisi gaar me chupa huwa nahee hoon. (This dirty man (Arnab) is barking like a dog. I am here in the open and am not hiding in caves) Arnab starts to shout as the audio line from Paksistan has been snapped.
Arnab: This is first time in the history of any TV channel in that world that a terrorist having a reward on his head has appeared on a live show. We have cornered him and we know his whereabouts. Your channel has done it. It has done it. US owes us the money. We have found them the man they are looking for. I will now get Mrs. Hillary Monica Clinton, O! sorry once again, Hillary Clinton to talk to me.

Arnab: Good evening ! Mrs Clinton Hillary: Actually Good Morning! Arnab: Sorry, Good Morning ! Mrs Clinton. The person you were looking for has been tracked down by this channel on live telecast. Whole world watched how we nailed that man. Now we want our money. 10 million Dollars in CASH. Mrs. Clinton, When shall the US administration invite me to US to hand over me my cheque. I want an honest answer from you Mrs. Clinton tonight on your channel.

Mrs. Clinton: Well ! that is a wisful thinking. You never deserve the bounty. It is clearly written on the Justice Department website that any information which can lead to the arrest of Mr. Hafiz Syed shall be deemed as the winner information and the informant shall be paid the reward of 10 million United States Dollars. Since Mr. Hafiz Syed has not been arrested yet and has perhaps left the studio by now, your claim stands rejected.

Arnab: This is a new twist. You cannot deny us the money. India has done it again. We informed you about OBL, you duped us then and now this. This is atrocious.
Mrs. Clinton: Good bye ! See you again next time.

Arnab: Yes ! OK. Let me wrap up the debate. Thank you Mahroof, KC, Mr. Hillei Lee and Mrs. Monica Hillary Clinton sorry Mrs Clinton. (Mr. Hafiz Syed is intervening)

Hafiz Syed: Khabees, mei bhi hoon yehaan. Mei bhaga nahi hoon yehan se. (Rascal ! I am still here and have not fled)
Arnab: Sorry, we cant hear you and we are short of time now. From the studios of Times Now, good night ladies and gentlemen.

Open Letter To The People of India By An Indian

By: An Indian

Let us assume India is a great nation. Let us assume values of justice, equality and human dignity are paramount in this country. Let us assume rule of law prevails here. Let us assume India is world’s largest “democracy”. Let us assume Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India. Let us assume India and itspeople feel for Kashmiris. Let us assume Kashmiris are not the second class “subjects” meant to be denounced, demonized and condemned. Let us assume India has a free and fair media. And now let us also assume you did not know anything about what your will read below:

Jammu and Kashmir State Human Rights Commission (JKSHRC) has recommended a fresh probe into the case of alleged mass rape of women by army personnel in Kunan and Poshpora villages of the frontier district of Kupwara.

A division bench of JKSHRC has asked the state government to constitute a Special Investigation Team (SIT) headed by an officer of rank not less than an SP to re investigate the alleged mass rape of at least 31 women by army personnel in 1991. decades ago.

Over two dozen women from the villages had claimed that they were gangraped by army personnel during the intervening night of February 23 and 24 in 1991, leading to a huge outrage across Kashmir.

The commission has also asked the state government to put on trial former Director Prosecution who had sought closure of the case as the perpetrators were “untraceable”. According to the Commission, ex-Director Prosecution had “overstepped his brief” and, therefore, prosecution proceedings should be initiated against him and those officers who had approved his report.

Quoting the report of then district magistrate, the commission said the medical examination of 31 women had confirmed they were assaulted.

JKSHRC has been hearing the case since 2004 and during the last seven years, it recorded statements of 18 victims who testified they were assaulted. JKSHRC has also asked the state government to pay compensation of Rs 2lakh each to the victims of the incident.

As part of a series of reports into the incident was former divisional commissioner of Kashmir and ex-Chief Information Commissioner of India, Wajahat Habibullah. For some strange reason the report was kept confidential, however, part of it was leaked. The leak report stated: “While the veracity of the complaint is highly doubtful, it still needs to be determined why such complaint was made at all. The people of the village are simple folk and by the Army’s own admission have been generally helpful and even careful of security of the army’s officers. Unlike Brig Sharma, I found many of the village women genuinely angry… It is recommended that the level of investigation be upgraded to that of a gazetted police officer”.

Understandably, the facts, reports, recommendations of the officials and grief of victims were lost in the name of “national interest” and concoction of a suppressive jackboot regime. Else, why would the state give up any chance of exposing “well-concocted bundle of fabricated lies” and “a massive hoax orchestrated by militant groups and their sympathizers and mentors in Kashmir and abroad”

as termed by a Press Council report which conducted an “independent investigation” on the insistence of Army into the case. This would have helped in preventing many youngsters from crossing over to other side of LoC for arms training just to return to fight the state. And did I tell you that just a month ago, JKSHRC confirmed the presence of over 2300 unmarked graves in just three districts of north Kashmir and has ordered similar investigation into some 3,000 odd graves that are alleged to be in Poonch and Rajouri districts of Jammu.

The confirmation by JKSHRC has given the rights groups and family members of victims a shot in the arm after the investigation wing comprising SSP rank officer submitted its report. There are around 8,000 people, who families and human rights organizations allege, were subjected to enforced disappearance by security forces in the state over the past two decades.

Let us assume that you were deliberately kept insulated from these hard realities. Let us assume that you are hearing the arguments for the first time. The following instances should help you understand things better:

In April 2004, family members of four missing army porters from Jammu received an anonymous letter informing them that their kins were killed by the Army after passing them off as militants. Later, Captain Summit Kohli of 16 Rashtriya Riffles, who happened to be the duty officer at that time in Lolab, committed “suicide” in his camp under mysterious circumstances.

Though family members of the porters have been under the impression that the letter might have been written by Captain Kohli, his mother is still fighting a lone battle claiming that her son was murdered for blowing the lid off the worst kept secret in the security force.

In 2007, at least five bodies were exhumed from graveyards of Bandipora and Ganderbal districts after it was confirmed that they were innocent civilians who were branded as militants and killed by security forces just for gallantry medals. While an SSP rank officer of J&K police and his associates are in jail for almost five years in this case, the army officials who were party to the heinous crime haven’t appeared in the court even once.

In January 2003, security personnel claimed major success by killing five foreign terrorists allegedly responsible for Chhatisinghpora massacre of Sikhs in south Kashmir’s Anantnag district. Later it turned out that those killed were local civilians whose DNA samples were fudged during the investigations. Those involved in the police currently enjoy plum postings while others in the army have questioned the jurisdiction of courts, despite being chargesheeted by CBI.

Let us hope that a country where clamor grows for hanging a person to satisfy the collective conscience of the nation, would react in a sane, enlightened and humane way to prove that this land of Gandhi is not lost in the din of jingoism.
