Aam Aadmi, UPA-II and Manmohan Singh

Manmohan Singh has nothing to celebrate. He has said nothing new in his much publicised press conference. It is a tragic irony that we have a qualified economist at the helm of affairs and he could do nothing to stall the rising prices.

When he was asked about the ways to contain the prices, he dodged the question and started giving lectures on global financial crisis, inflation, fiscal figures etc. I just could not understand the logic there.

This government came to power with the votes of Aam Aadmi. It is yet to THINK about the welfare of the aam aadmi. How sad!

Manmohan Singh's press meet and Masoom Moradabadi's query

Was a deliberate gag manufactured to silence Masoom Moradabai of Urdu newspaper Akhbar e Jadid, when he asked the most crucial question engaging the 200 million Indian Muslims as to how Prime Minister will act on the recommendations of Sachar Commission and Justice Ranganathan Misra Commission reports.

The Urdu journalist was the fifth journalist in the line to be given the chance to address the questions to the Prime Minister. However when he posed the sensitive question about Muslim plight, all of a sudden the DD telecast went dead. Can one imagine a national TV Channel to be so inefficient and callous about breakdown in its telecast of Prime Minister’s Press Conference, without some sanction from the authorities? Was the breakdown of the telecast was designed specially to shield the Prime Minister from replying to embarrassing questions about the abject failure of his government?

One can see the last flashes of Prime Minister's instant distress while the Muslim journalist reeled out the question on behalf of his Urdu newspaper, when the telecast went off the air.
