Was going through your post “The crown prince of India”
I wonder if you missed a report on TV few days back regarding the list released by GOI of appointments and persons who are exempted from customs check at the airport.

It appears a journalist-turned(cum?)-blogger has bid goodbye to blogging. It’s a pity if it turns out to be true for I truly enjoyed sparring with him. To be fair, the spars tapered off gradually, and then stopped completely.
Here’s the post that started it all.
Apparently, I missed this blatant lie that Secular Imam Shekhar Gupta uttered in this article.

Centre gives clean chit to Navin Chawla
Navin Chawla, I recall reading in some book, was also known as the Butcher of Turkman Gate, a monstrous Emergency-era incident, which I’m sure most of us know.
An excerpt from a chilling account of this man found here.
We now come to the most damning piece of evidence against [...]
If you ever needed proof that the Congress practises dynastic politics, here it is, straight from the horse’s mouth:
The award goes to Shivraj Patil, (Dis)Honourable Home Minister, Government of India for saying this. (report reproduced in full)
Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil on Sunday said `madrasas,’ or Islamic religious seminaries, were not centres of terrorism. “We believe that Islamic madrasas are seats of social service. They are not the centre of terrorism,” he said [...]

Government not interested in truth
Murli Manohar Joshi | BJP leader
The Memorandum of Action Taken Report by the Home Ministry over the 600-plus page report submitted by a reputed former judge of the Supreme Court is plainly arbitrary. It states that the Government [...]
