A few days back Delhi police once again indulged in an oft-repeated
gimmick and it declared to have uncovered a plot by ‘dreaded terrorists’ who
were going to once again blow up Delhi and after that terrorists involved were
planning to board a bus to reach Kashmir to blow that place. The plot thickened
further when police in Delhi declared to have found a letter of recommendation
written by Syed Ali Shah Geelani in favor of one of the terrorists involved,
recommending a Pakistani visa. The implication spread by the authorities is
meant to read that finally a smoking gun linking Syed Ali Shah Geelani to a
terrorist plot is found. Only one has be a complete dunce not to remember the
number of such dud plots uncovered by Indian security forces. And even before
charges against Geelani had been pronounced, one person seemed to have declared
Geelani already guilty and was seen to be foaming while demanding explanation
from Geelani. Arnab Goswami while hosting what was purported to be a TV discussion,
assumed the role of an inquisitor.
The uncouthness of Arnab Goswami, his misdemeanor bordering
on vulgarity and in conjunction with his inherent ignorance, makes one wonder
if he is even aware about the geographic location of Kashmir, leave aside the
history of the place. The vulgarity of Arnab Goswami was interspersed by midget
like Manish Tiwari’s proclamation of peaceful participations in elections in
Kashmir that are being vitiated by Geelani. The only thing that comes to mind is
that ‘idiots don’t get it’. How could these people be so shut from the reality?
The only regretful thing was that Syed Ali Shah Geelani had to put with utter
and diabolical nonsense of Arnab Goswami and while doing so Geelani neither lost
his calm and more importantly nor his brief.
One starts wondering at people like Goswami, their origin;
and one starts genuinely asking where in the hell do such people get their
power to behave with an ignorant arrogance everyday? Where do such people get
their mandate for spreading their ignorance and lies? Arnab Goswamy is not the
only one of his ilk in the land of ignoramus. When last autumn the moment poor
Omar Abdullah raised the issue of AFSPA, the femme fatale of NDTV, Barkha Dutt,
went on hosting a reality show featuring Indian army generals who ranted
against any dilution of the act so that security forces unabatedly continue their
crimes against civilian population.
