Tuesday, 23 December 2008, 13:26 C O N F I D E N T I A L SECTION 01 OF 02 NEW DELHI 003228 SIPDIS DEPARTMENT FOR SCA/INS EO 12958 DECL: 12/22/2018 TAGS PGOV, PREL, PTER, KISL, IN SUBJECT: CONGRESS PARTY STUNG PLAYING RELIGIOUS POLITICS WITH TERRORISM REF: MUMBAI 518 Classified By: PolCouns Ted Osius for Reasons 1.4 (B, D) ¶1. (C) Summary: On the floor of parliament, Indian Home Minister P. Chidambaram officially dismissed comments made by the Minority Affairs Minister A.R. Antulay that implied Hindutva elements may have been involved in the Mumbai attacks. Antulay sparked a political controversy on December 17 with comments insinuating that the killing of Maharashtra Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) Chief Hemant Karkare by the Mumbai terrorists was somehow linked to Karkare’s investigation of bombings in which radical Hindus are suspected (reftel). The outlandish comments suggested that somehow Hindutva elements were in league with the Mumbai attackers, or used the attacks as cover to kill Karkare. The opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) immediately called for Antulay’s resignation and protested with boisterous walkouts in parliament over the course of five days. Compounding matters, the Congress Party, after first distancing itself from the comments, two days later issued a contradictory statement which implicitly endorsed the conspiracy. During this time, Antulay’s completely unsubstantiated claims gained support in the conspiracy-minded Indian-Muslim community. Hoping to foster that support for upcoming national elections, the Congress Party cynically pulled back from its original dismissal and lent credence to the conspiracy. Regardless of Chidambaram’s dismissal (and Antulay’s party-ordered retraction), the Indian Muslim community will continue to believe they are unfairly targeted by law enforcement and that those who investigate the truth are silenced. The entire episode demonstrates that the Congress Party will readily stoop to the old caste/religious-based politics if it feels it is in its interest. End Summary. Killed in Mumbai Attacks, Karkare Led Investigation into “Hindu Terror” --------------------------------------------- ¶2. (U) Indian Minorities Affairs Minister A.R. Antulay’s sparked controversy on December 17 with comments insinuating that the killing of Maharashtra Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) Chief Hemant Karkare by the Mumbai terrorists was somehow linked to Karkare’s investigation of “Hindu terrorists.” Two of the Mumbai terrorists gunned down Karkare, and his ATS colleagues Additional Commissioner of Police Ashok Kamte and Inspector Vijay Salaskar the first night of attacks, November 26. The three officers were killed as they reached a hospital the terrorists entered after attacking the Mumbai train station. ¶3. (U) As Maharashtra ATS Chief, Karkare led the investigation into the September 2008 Malegaon blasts which claimed the lives of six people. Initially the police suspected Muslim terrorists. However, authorities recently arrested eleven Hindus, including an Indian Army Lieutenant Colonel. Police identified five of those arrested as having ties to the BJP’s youth wing in their earlier years. Two others had ties to a recent addition to the Sangh Parivar family of Hindu nationalist organizations. Antulay’s Comments ------------------ ¶4. (U) On December 17, even as a solemn debate on the Mumbai attacks and counterterrorism was taking place in parliament, Antulay made a series of public comments drawing attention to a possible link between Karkare’s killing and his investigation. He offered no evidence to back-up his claims. -- “Superficially speaking they had no reason to kill Karkare. Whether he was a victim of terrorism or terrorism plus something, I do not know.” -- “Karkare found that there are non Muslims involved in the NEW DELHI 00003228 002 OF 002 acts of terrorism during his investigations in some cases. Any person going to the roots of terrorism has always been the target.” -- “Unfortunately his end came. It may be a separate inquiry how his end came.” -- “There is more than what meets the eyes.” Congress Party Dismisses... --------------------------- ¶5. (U) Most Congress Party leaders quickly disassociated the Party from Atulay’s comments. Congress Party spokesman Abishek Singhvi told the press, “We do not accept the innuendo and the aspersions cast. This should be the end of the matter. The Congress does not agree with Antulay’s statement.” Another Congress Party spokesman, Manish Tiwari, followed the next day with, “The Congress in any manner does not endorse Antulay’s views.” Just as quickly BJP leaders called for Antulay to resign or be sacked. ...Then Equivocates... ---------------------- ¶6. (U) However, on December 21 senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh told the media, “I don’t think Antulay made a mistake. What he asked for is a probe. What is objectionable in his statement?” Two days earlier the Congress-led government of Maharashtra rejected a demand for an inquiry into Karkare’s death. The opposition BJP took exception to both the substance of Antulay’s comments and the Congress Party’s inconsistent response. Shouting slogans, the BJP staged a walkout in the parliament three days in a row and demanded a formal clarification from the government. Emboldened by the equivocation, Antulay refused to apologize or retract his statements and said they reflected the views of a large segment of the Muslim population. ...And Finally Dismisses ------------------------ ¶7. (U) After taking flack for nearly a week, the Congress Party finally gave its official view when Home Minister Chidambaram stated in parliament, “There is no truth whatsoever in the suspicion that there was conspiracy.” Chidambaram called Antulay’s comments “regrettable.” Shortly thereafter Antulay backed down and told the press, “For me the matter is settled.” He ruled out his resignation. Congress Party Plays Cynical Politics ------------------------------------- ¶8. (C) Comment: While the killing of three high level law enforcement officers during the Mumbai attacks is a remarkable coincidence, the Congress Party’s initial reaction to Antulay’s outrageous comments was correct. But as support seemed to swell among Muslims for Antulay’s unsubstantiated claims, crass political opportunism swayed the thinking of some Congress Party leaders. What’s more, the party made the cynical political calculation to lend credence to the conspiracy even after its recent emboldening state elections victories. The party chose to pander to Muslims’ fears, providing impetus for those in the Muslim community who will continue to play up the conspiracy theory. While cooler heads eventually prevailed within the Congress leadership, the idea that the party would entertain such outlandish claims proved once again that many party leaders are still wedded to the old identity politics. The seventy-nine year old Antulay was probably bewildered to find that his remarks, similar in vein to what he would have routinely made in the past to attack the BJP, created such a furor this time.

Letter to director of planet honda, Dr rajkumar road, Rajaji nagar
On Tuesday, I gave my Honda Deo for servicing. Actually I got a sms from Planet Honda about free servicing. But the result was so bad that.Even I can never dream of giving vehicle for service to planet Honda. I am still not able to figure out my mistake about giving vehicle for serving. I had following list of concern in my vehicle
1. Loose break.
2. Tire alignment
3. Small break in tire guard maintain.
4. Pickup.
I feel like only you changed oil nothing else. When I got my vehicle, it was like shit. So dirty that I can't explain. Break was not tight. Tires were not aligned. Looks like you made me fool. Anyways I will share the feedback on my BlogSpot too. While I ride vehicle, I don't feel like it's serviced. Thanks for disastrous experience. I hate planet Honda now onwards. Most importantly, there was small cut in my handle, and your guys make it so big that I have no option left other than changing it.

I saw the garbage person
Now when he took it to near his vehicle (Hand operated like thella). Then there were four big pots he had. He collected all plastic and bottle in one pot and all paper related in to one plastic.
Actually he teaches us a lot of thing:
1. We should keep different type of garbage in different type of garbage bag so that if some items are recyclable than that should be used like that.
2. Some items which are not useful for us, which might be useful for others so we should not spoil the whole useful item just by mixing with unused and dirty garbage.
People should be aware of these small thing and they can save very much money of government and help the society to be clean.

Corporate World!!!
There is one question "what is Corporate World?” According to my own definition” it’s nothing just like a politics world and we can also say it’s just like a selfish world". In this world everything is a show-off. No one cares about each others feelings. In corporate world everyone tries to suppress others. Whatever I have written above all are my visions. I have only written those things what I feel.
Now I am going to write some truth about the corporate world. If you want to stay in corporate world then you have to show your talent, your ability because if you don’t show your talent and result then no one trusts you and no one sees your talent if you don’t show them results. For these, there is some reason because this corporate world is a result oriented world where only result matters, that’s it. Some times it may happen that you have done some work and some one else will take all credit.
If you are not able to show your performance then might be you will get some problem but once you have shown your performance then it will more beneficial for you.
In corporate world not only your talent matters although your attitude, gesture, life style and more important communication are very much important, because of this also you can loss your position and performance.
Thanks
My Own Feeling
I am always feeling that, in the whole world maximum people wants to live only for own self. They never think for doing something about other people. I met some people who have a good job and good salary although they still don’t have any ambitions. They have some ambitions but only for own self for example they always thinking about how I can get more money, they also think about which car I can buy for good personality in society. But they don’t think how we can help for the orphan and poor people, How we can develop their mentality. But some people are also there which spend whole for others. They never think about own self.
However I also feel that the life is a God gift we make it useful and do something for other peoples don’t always think about own self I mean to say that do something for poor and orphan type people. Because that type people don’t have any source for go ahead in life. I also feel that in the world so many people can give money in the temples for God but they can’t give money for orphan and poor type people. I am not saying against for giving money in the temple for God but I want to say we are the children of God so if the people should help to others then God also should be happy. Only giving money in the
Only I want to tell to all people in the world do something for other people in the life. Don’t think always only for own self at least sometimes you think for others if you do something for others then you won’t feel guilty at the last time of your life. You always feel happy and also you always thinking at least you did something for others in your life.
Life!!!
What is “Life”? This is the big question for everyone. Nobody can give exact definition of life. Definition of the life is different for everyone. Some people define the life as “Life is about living”. But some people define the life as “Life is about living, eating and enjoying”. According to me it’s not correct definition.
Life is most costly thing. We can not define any cost of Life. If we get this life it doesn’t mean that we got this life it doesn’t mean that we should take disadvantage of this life. After getting the life we should think that what we can do in our life so that the whole world will always remember you. If you don’t have ambition, it’s waste of your life. Because according to me, without any ambition living in this world is just like animal’s life. Only ambition can give you the real happiness, it’s my feeling.
Here from ambitions it doesn’t mean that you only think about your ambitions and don’t try anything to reach your destination. To reach your destination or complete your ambitions you should try to do something because without trying you never get your destination.
In other side life is about struggle. According to me without struggle you should not get success. Because I have seen so many successful people who did lots of struggle and also faced lots of obstacle then also they reached their destination. With struggle you also have to be laborious because labor participating most important role in your success.
Life is very critical. In your life you will face lots of obstacle. Living this life is not so easy because in this life you will face failure also. Might be you will face so much failure but in every failure you will learn something. According to me after failure only you will get success, because in failure you are learning something but you are not learning from your failure then I don’t think you will get success in your life. Some one has said that “failure is the first step of success”. So if you get failure then don’t frustrate from that failure only the thing is you have to try again and again and correct your mistake because of that you got failure. Never leave your ambitions and your passion. One day definitely you will get your destination.
There is one more point of view of life”If you want something in your life then you will loss something” because nobody gets everything in their life. If you read the biography of any successful people then you will find that they also loss something in their life.
Whatever I have written above all is my own experience.
Depression
Depression is one of the things which will bring you to your worst, because depression is the thing which will reduce your activity. There is a definition of depression according to me is that depression is nothing but it’s negative thinking in your subconscious mind which only you have developed.
Once you get depressed then you will not be able to think even you will also not be able to do anything. You will become loose. Actually depression will not only affect your mentality even it affects on your health. I mean if you get depressed then after sometime you will look become unhealthy and ill. Depression is just like a virus in computer. I mean if the virus is in computer then because of such virus whole computer will get affected, might be system will get hang or the data will be corrupted. Similar thing happens with our body which works as a computer will get affected by virus which is known as depression. Once depression virus comes into out body then definitely some part of our body will get corrupt I mean definitely we will loose something.
So, what I described above all are only problems which we will face once we get depressed. Now we will consider on the solution to come out from these problems
Before discussing about the solution just I want to ask a question that “Is it really possible that we can come out to these problems?” Yes, we can come out if you decide you can do it whatever necessary thing for this.
First step for come out to depression is that you stop negative thinking because his is the main root of depression. Once you stop negative thinking then there will be 80% chance will reduce the probability of depression. For 20% what you have to do that you should always be happy I mean at any situation you should be happy. I know it’s not so easy but if decide hen definitely you can do. Once you get success to do such thing I am sure you never get depressed.
One more tips I want to give regarding to reduce depression is that don’t think much about any event which happened with you. If you want to think then only think about positive point of such event. Don’t think about negative point of such event because once you start thinking about negative point of such event then again you get depressed and you will get all those thing what I explained earlier. So, my suggestion is don’t think about negative point of any event whatever happened with you or going to happen with you.
Thanks
Politics
Politics means "activities relating to occupation of power". If you see then you find that politics is everywhere in the world. In other words we can say those whole worlds are politics based only. In above sentence “politics in everywhere”, here from everywhere I mean to say that if you see the corporate field there is also politics, in this field there is lots of politics. In other side if you see in the college there is also a politics.
Now I am going to talk about politics in
First I am going to write about Congress. Congress party has symbol “Hand”. Sonia Gandhi is a president of Congress. In other words we can say Sonia Gandhi not only president though she is everything of Congress. Because she is foreigner that’s why in
In congress government, things are too costly. The price of everything like rice, vegetable in other words we can say food and petrol etc. will increase.
Whereas BJP governments always trying to control the price of things. I am not saying that in BJP government the price of things are not costly but it’s under control. In BJP government, any category of people can survive but in congress government it’s little difficult to survive for low category people.
Now I am writing about BJP party. The president of BJP is Rajnath Singh. In BJP party everyone is independent. In this party everyone have power to give their suggestion in front of party. They all are considering to the suggestion. In this party, there no one is all in all of the party.
In BJP party there are lots of good leaders like L.K.Advani, Arun Jetali, Sushma Swaraj, Narendra Modi, Atal Bihari Vajpayee etc. I am not saying that, this party is perfect at every side. It also has some facts like Babri Masjid case. This case shows that this party is against to Muslim religion. According to me, this is not a good thinking of BJP’s. They shouldn’t differentiate between the religions. Because of this reason communal riots might be happen in
