TitBits - A General Scan of Herald News (8 Apr. 2004) Herald, Reader Speak- 8 Apr. 2004 Slander By: Brian Antao, Margao One publication that I came across had a head-line fornt page article potraying the chief minister with a picture of "Hitler" in a "Heil Hitler" salute. There is fredom of the Press and there is madness, malicious slander.
Comment: I wonder what Brian Antao would say if he saw "Up yours, Bush" pen holders showing George Bush (Jr) on his knees, stripped to bare bottoms with a pen stuck in his posterior. It would probably make him cry with slanderous remorse. If parrikar is depicted as Hitler, he very much deserves the status. We in Goa do not want to learn from this man what is Representative Democracy (a Democracy which does not require the govt. to confide in people) and what is Consultative Democracy ( a Democracy which exists in Switzerland). ** Herald, I Say - 8 Apr. 2004. BJP's secularism is closer to Mahatma Gandhi's concept. The Supreme Court has approved Hindutwa to be a way of life. L.K. Advani. Comment: The BJP, and Advani especially, cannot do a straight forward election campaign. At one time he has compared Vajpayee with Nehru. Now he wants to call his rank communal BJP no different to Mahatma's secularism. Aren't these the guys who shot Mahatma very much dead? Maybe they want to resurrect his last dying words "Hey Ram" If BJP can talk of secularism, then mules can fly. ** Herald, 8 Apr. 2004 ( Front Page ) BJP Flays Church. "If India is not Shining, is America Shining?" - Venkaiah Naidu. Comment: Somebody should have reminded this guy who is masquerading as the national President of the BJP that "Yes, America is shining indeed ". In one of Vajpayee's knees. Devilal, who was even made the Deputy PM of India, had once remarked "If Christians do not like what is happening in India, then let them go to New York" Venkaiah is no better. These charlies think that Christians of India have all come from America. To bring them to their senses, they should be given a few more extra long dips in the Ganges to drown their funny ideas. I wonder if Venkaiah could see the missive through the overly concentrated 'saffron' behind his forehead.
