NEVER Cross swords with a Street-Fighter looking for a Good Skirmish ...

When George Fernandas had the last laugh in Parliament!!
The year 1998.
BJP was single largest party and NDA was the strongest alliance in Loksabha ...
๐
2
Vajpayee was PM. Confidence motion was before the house. Congress & CPM had joined hands to vote against NDA govt.
Leaders of both parties were sitting together & attacking BJP NDA.
Whenever Congress leader spoke, the CPM leaders were thumping the desks and vice-versa.
๐
3
Whenever a leader from NDA was attacking Congress, leaders from CPM counter attacked fiercely. All 'secular' forces were united to dethrone the Vajpayee government.
Veteran leader George Fernandez rose to defend Govt.
He rose & said " Speaker sir ...
๐

"Speaker Sir, I want to inform you what a strong organisation has to say something on Congress party".
He took out a book and started reading.
"Congress party is the fountainhead of corruption (shouting from congress benches)
British left & the Congress replaced them.
๐
5
Over past 50 yrs, Cong has est new records in corruption. (again shouting from cong)
Cong ministers are embroiled in several scams, Mundra scam, Churhat Lottery scam, Bofors scam, Sukhram scam, Harshad Mehta scam, JMM Bribery scam. Hawala, took place during its watch.
๐
6
Congress has corrupted and misused every institution of the Indian democracy."
At this point, both Congress and CPM got agitated & said "Speaker sir! Please ask Hon'ble member to name the source We can't allow him to read from any unnamed document. Please restrain him."
๐

GF said "Don't be impatient. I'll name source. First lemme complete wht it says. Cong party's record on Secularism is chequered. At various pts in history, Cong goondas took active part in riots, killed people. 3000 Sikhs were butchered in Dilli in 84, PM watched silently.
๐
8
Pandenium in Cong & CPM benches!
George Fernandez, "Just give me two minutes & I'll reveal the source"
He continued to read:
"Speaker sir, it says, "No country in history has ever progressed with bad governance & excessive corruption as partners. None!
๐
9
The Congress suffers from this twin ailment since decades. Its survival is detrimental to the progress of India. Therefore, in the interest this nation, it's important that Congress party is wiped out from this land for ever."
Congress and CPM went beserk at this point ...

"Speaker sir! It cant go on this way. We wont allow him to speak further if he doesn't give the source being quoting."
"Ok, Ok" said George. "There is more. But since our frnds from Cong & CPM are so desperate to know source,
Let me tell you what I am reading from...
๐
11
....
I'm reading from the Manifesto of CPI(M) issued just before these Lok Sabha elections."
PINDROP silence in the house. Leaders from Congress and CPM sitting next to each other, now staring at each others Faces

George , "What happened, why silent ? You were shouting so loudly ? Want to know source, Want to know source. Now you know the source, your voices are mute. Shame on you ! You should be ashamed ...
My friends from the Left! It seems ...
๐
13
Either u don't read ur manifesto or don't mean a word of it.
Eitherways, u should be ashamed. In name of secularism, uve joined hands with Cong tht broke all records in corruption.
Do introspect. If u dont u will be history, sooner rather than later."
RIP George Fernandez ...

2. This reminds me of a Cdr who was pissed as hell when he was likewise stopped & checked ...
Years ago, Marines were tasked to man and guard the gates at most Naval & Marine bases.
At the Marine Air Station at Miramar, in California ...
๐
3. And it was common to assign relatively jr ranked Marines, often recent graduates from Marine boot camp in San Diego such duties. At random times, Gate guards were ordered to do a 100% ID card check of every occupant of every car. This was simply a security training ex.
A an interesting story from Netaji's life with a linkage to today ...
In 1910, two young men had met Revered Swami Brahmanandaji, the First president Ramakrishna Math & Mission - Subhas & Nirmal.
Both the young men expressed their ardent desire to become monks of the Order.
๐
2/ However, while the Satyadrashta in Swami Brahmanandaji accepted Nirmal's candidature to join the Order, he declined & forbade Subhas Chandra Bose, saying he had to accomplish great work by staying outside the Order.
3/
Nirmal went on to become Swami Madhavananda, the Ninth president of the Order, while we all know what happened to Subhas Chandra Bose.
Posting a old favourite Tale of mine from the Wild Wild West -
Be warned this thread is LONG.
But all Good things take time!
'The Old WOMAN & her MULE'
On a warm dusty afternoon, a wizened OLD WOMAN slowly trudged up to a Saloon and tied her old mule to the hitching post.
๐
2/ As she stood there, brushing the dust from her face and clothes, a young GUN-SLINGER stepped out of the saloon with a gun in one hand and whisky in the other. He took one looked at the old woman, laughed and said "Hey you OLD BAG have you danced before?"
๐
3/ The Old Woman looked up at the Gunslinger & spoke in a tired voice "Nah! i neva did dance, neva really wanted tuh"
By now a crowd had gathered as the Gunslinger grinned & said "Well you ol'Bag, You're gonna dance NOW!" & started shooting at the grnd near the woman's feet.
๐
2/ As well the urge to present credible propositions.
Fortunately for them, much of their FB & SM/media support base are gullible/consumed by #ModiHatred sentiment not to question the claims. I am one of them.๐
So now I look forward to the hugest ever tractor rally.๐
๐
3/ According to this report, in The Hindu two lakh tractor trolleys will take part in the rally. My mind boggles. Length of typical tractor is 2.9 m. Add a trolley att - 2M. Safe to assume a 3M intra tractor gap, max speed being 30 kmph .
This => 8 M per tractor.
