Bharat Band

i have been watching the development from here in Japan. I know i cannot feel the pulse of general public directly. So, i rely on the news papers and news channels. what i saw was utter insensitivity.
when country was facing the inflation and price rise news industry felt the that thread bar analysis of an unknown model was more imporatnt to keep in highlight.
Somehow bharat band was sucha topic that it could not be ignored. so there came up another tactic. propaganda started that bandh is illegal.
i saw one of the channels, newsX, i could only laugh at the presentation they made. it was joke they were telling. some of them were
1. it is closed every where but bandh is not effective
2. it is not violent but there is fear of violence. and for this opposition are sinner.
3. it was told that price rise effect only middle class was effected and not the poorest of poor. so price rise is good.
4. subsidies never reach poor so what if they are removed.
5. most of the states have halted, 2 states are only partially effected and one is not effected at all. this shows that Bharat band is failure.

it was very well observed that it is similar the time emergency was imposed 35 years ago. opposition has come together. government is insensitive. then news papers were silenced. now they are bought. then also protest was peaceful now also it remained peaceful.
you need somebody like SS Ray to suggest to impose emergency. there would have been enough reason. from rastrapati to the hawaldar nobody would have opposed. intellectuals in the AC rooms would not have been very vocal in supporting it.

i feel blood coming to boil. i should have been in the kurukshetra when mahabharata is being fought.
any way i know mahabharat is a long drawn battle which will be continuously fought till eternity.
reply of abhishek manu singhavi telling
that there is no benefit of bandh shows that Govt is not going to be sensitive to the bandh.
now he says that bandh itself is unconstitutional.
now he says that there is no logic, they are hypocritical. (you are no less Mr singhavi)
