*Tully Calls Anti-Sonia Cyber Bluff *
Veteran journalist Sir Mark Tully has described as “totally false” an
e-mail article circulating in the cyber space in his name, attacking
Congress President Sonia Gandhi by using some very derogatory language.
Tully said he was concerned about such wide circulation of the totally
false e-mail and that he was pained by such hate writing in his name. With
Tully calling the bluff, the buzz has that there will be soon a hunt to
reveal the true identity of the writer who is ashamed to put his name to
the stuff he produced.

*Sonia Gandhi - A Blot on the Nation****

*Sir William "Mark" Tully, OBE. He worked for BBC for a period of 30 years
before resigning in July 1994. He held the position of Chief of Bureau,
BBC, Delhi for 20 years Padma Shree, KBE, Padma Bhushan, one of the most
respected journalists in the world, writes on Indian Politics: An eye
opener account, not known to most of the Indians.*****
****
*"I can say without the shadow of a doubt that when history will be
written, the period over which she (Sonia Gandhi) presided, both over the
Congress and India, will be seen as an era of darkness, of immense
corruption and of a democracy verging towards autocracy, if not disguised
dictatorship, in the hands of a single person, a non-Indian and a
Christian like me. Truth will also come out about her being the main
recipient for kickbacks from Bofors to 2G, which she uses to buy votes."****
*
****
*The sun has already set; darkness is just about to start. Do you blame it
on bankruptcy/blindness of Congress or country's misfortune. It is both. Now
read the complete analysis, which follows. THE TRUTH & THE HIDDEN FACTS. I
was surprised when the Congress party gave me a Padma Shri – I am the
only foreign journalist to ever get it. For, in my forty years of political
reporting in India, I have always been a vocal critic of the Nehru dynasty.
Someone even called me recently: “a vitriolic British journalist, who in
his old age chose to live back in the land he never approved”.*****
****
*It started with Operation Blue Star. I was one of the few western
correspondents who criticized Indira. As I have said since then numerous
times, the attack on the Golden Temple and the atrocities that followed the
army operations, produced in all sections of the Sikhs a sense of outrage
that is hard today to alleviate.*****
****
*As everybody knows, Indira Gandhi helped my fame grow even more, by
wanting to imprison me during the Emergency she clamped and finally
throwing me out of India for a short while. But the result was that the
whole of India tuned in, then and thereafter, to my radio’s broadcasts,
‘The Voice of India’, to hear what they thought was ‘accurate’ coverage of
events.*****
****
*When Rajiv Gandhi came to power, I first believed that he was sincerely
trying to change the political system, but he quickly gave-up when the old
guard would not budge. I criticized him for his foolish adventure in Sri
Lanka, although I felt sorry for him when he was blown to pieces by Dhanu,
the Tamil Tiger.*****
****
*It is in Kashmir, though that I fought most viciously against his Govt and
subsequent Congress ones for its human right abuses on the Kashmiri Muslims
of the Valley. The Congress Governments tried indeed several times to
censor me and the army even took prisoner my Kashmiri stringer, whom I had
to rescue by the skin of his teeth. I am also proud that I was the first
one to point out then, that the Indian Government had at that time no proof
of the Pakistani involvement in the freedom movement in Kashmir. *****
****
*Thus I always made it a point to start my broadcasts by proclaiming that
the Indian Government accuses Pakistan of fostering terrorism», or that
“elections are being held in Indian-controlled Kashmir”…As I was so
popular, all the other foreign journalists used the same parlance to cover
Kashmir and they always spoke of the plight of the Muslims, never of the
400.000 Hindus, who after all were chased out of their ancestral land by
sheer terror (I also kept mum about it).*****
****
*As for Sonia Gandhi, I did not mind her, when she was Rajiv Gandhi’s wife,
but after his death, I watched with dismay as she started stamping her
authority on the Congress, which made me say in a series of broadcasts on
the Nehru Dynasty: “It’s sad that the Indian National Congress should be
completely dependent on one family; the total surrender of a national party
to one person is deplorable. You have to ask the question: what claims does
Sonia Gandhi have to justify her candidature for prime-ministership?Running
a country is far more complicated than running a company. Apprenticeship is
required in any profession — more so in politics”.*****
****
*I heard that Sonia Gandhi was unhappy about this broadcast. Then, after
President APJ Abdul Kalam called her to the Raj Bhavan and told her what
some of us already knew, namely that for a long time, she had kept both her
Italian and Indian passports, which disqualified her to become the Prime
Minister of India,she nevertheless became the Supreme leader of India
behind the scenes. It is then that I exclaimed: “the moribund and
leaderless Congress party has latched onto Sonia Gandhi, who is Italian by
birth and Roman Catholic by baptism”.*****
****
*She never forgave me for that. Yet, today I can say without the shadow of
a doubt that when history will be written, the period over which she
presided, both over the Congress and India, will be seen as an era of
darkness, of immense corruption and of a democracy verging towards
autocracy, if not disguised dictatorship, in the hands of a single
person, a non Indian and a Christian like me.Truth will also come out about
her being the main recipient for kickbacks from Bofors to 2G, which she
uses to buy votes, as the Wikileaks have just shown.*****
****
*Finally, I am sometimes flabbergasted at the fact that Indians – Hindus,
sorry, as most of this country’s intelligentsia is Hindu – seem to love me
so much, considering the fact that in my heydays, I considerably ran down
the 850 million Hindus of this country, one billion worldwide. I have
repented today: I do profoundly believe that India needs to be able to say
with pride, “Yes, our civilization has a Hindu base to it.” The genius of
Hinduism, the very reason it has survived so long, is that it does not
stand up and fight.It changes and adapts and modernizes and absorbs – that
is the scientific and proper way of going about it.*****
****
*I believe that Hinduism may actually prove to be the religion of this
millennium, because it can adapt itself to change. Hindus are still slaves
to MUSLIMS and CHRISTIANS On the name of secularism, lots of facilities and
cash incentives are given to Muslims and Christians. Haj subsidy is given
to Muslims for Haj yatra, wages of Muslim teachers and Imams are given to
Muslims are given by looting the Hindu temples. No such subsidy is given to
Hindus for going to Hindu religious places or any wages to Hindu religious
priests or Hindu teachers. In fact congress secular government creates many
obstacles for Hindus for going to Amarnath Yatra.*****
****
*Even after 65 years of independence reservation is given on religious
grounds while it should have been abolished by this time. If at all
reservation or subsidy is needed, then it should be purely on economic
grounds rather on the grounds of minorities. Such reservations affect the
quality of work. Congress party giving various kinds of allurements to
minorities to buy their votes with Hindu money. In the government, many
people are with Hindu names but in fact many are Muslims and Christians
with Hindu names (**) to fool Hindus and to show in the government,
majority people are Hindus.*****
