Guest guest Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 The media is controlled by left wing extremists.They occupy major positions right from JNU to every govt organisation.people like praful bidwai,romila thapar and the new brigade of rajdeep sardesai and barkha dutt,they are all the same.Media is anti hindu and will always be that way until and unless they are losing their business.praful bidwai who openly denounces india is a person who had attended a ceremony to honour naxalites who have died in bihar right from 1970s to 2000.Arundhati roy was also there for this.The media is like a stuck tape recorder which plays the same song again and again,secularism is in danger due to bjp,rss etc.They all will get rajyasabha seats in future for their services. The UPA government will take this country back to 70s if it lasts even for two yrs.Every day there is some strike or other by govt employees or others.Governments take countries forward,but congress and their cronies are taking us backward,maybe to the days of aurangazeb. -- In vediculture, "Vrn Davan" <vaidika1008@h...> wrote: > "For, if Bharti can resign on an emotive issue of hoisting the national > tricolour > >in Hubli on Independence Day, the man in the street will like to know why > >killers and frauds and other mafia dons are still occupying important > >ministerial `gaddis'in the UPA Government.
