[GreenYouth] India: The Budget 2009-10: A First Impression

2009-07-06 Thread Sukla Sen
The Finance Minister made a deliberate attempt to toe the June 4
Presidential address to the joint session of the parliament. The economic
survey does not appear to figure in the operative part.

No big ticket reforms on the immediate term.
A committee to go into petroleum and petroleum products pricing policy.
Disinvestment of the PSUs, no specific announcement. One will have look into
the detailed break-up of the revenue statement.
Specifically asserted that banking and insurance industries would remain in
public sector.
Disinvestment would mean shares to the public.
FM has talked of modifying subsidies for fertilisers and passing on
subsidies directly to the agriculturalists. Does it mean cash subsidy?
In his prep talk the FM talked of three challenges:
Jacking up the growth rate.
Making growth inclusive - vertically and horizontally.
Improving the government/public delivery system.

Could not locate anything relating to the third element.

The introductory part had the following sequence:
Infrastructure
Agriculture
Export
Concession for print media (a bribe!)
...

Food Security Act; NREGA; Bharat Nirman; time extension of farm loan waiver;
women's education; special focus on Dalits and minorities; rural roads,
electricity,housing; social security schemes etc. etc. specially emphasised.

Rs. 120 Cr. for Unique Identity Number this year.
Reinforcement of police, paramilitary and military.
No change in Corporate Tax.
Personal tax, marginally reduced (effectively).

Gross expenditure proposed: Rs. 10,20,838 Cr.
Fiscal deficit: 6.8% (up from 2.5% proposed last time).

So the recommendations of the Eco Survey goes down the drain!!
(As had been anticipated.)

[GreenYouth] Can lion and lamb live together?

2009-07-06 Thread Gladson Dungdung
Can lion and lamb live
together?http://www.jharkhandmirror.com/2009/07/can-lion-and-lamb-live-together.html
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1JMyBl6hwC8/Sk75AfUCirI/BKU/vpgymn4FSKw/s1600-h/lion-and-the-lamb.jpgBy
Gladson Dungdung
4 July, 2009

The tide has turned. The lamb is not ready to become the prey of the lion
anymore. The lamb has challenged the very authority of the lion by saying
“enough is enough.” The lamb tells to the lion, “You have eaten my
ancestors, betrayed my community and captured our territory in the name of
the law of the forest therefore I’ll fight against it till the last breath.”
The lamb is determined to fight back against the lion’s unfair acts
therefore he is not allowing the lion to enter into its territory even after
many attempts made by the lion. Consequently, the lion is in anxiety,
worried and uncertain about its future. He knows that he would not have a
bright future without the cooperation of the lamb.

Suddenly, he gets an excellent idea to deal with the situation therefore he
designed a plan to have a dialogue with the lamb. He attempts to convince
the lamb that he is not the real enemy of the lamb but he is much concerned
about the betterment of the lamb. He wants that the lamb should eat imported
grass instead of the wild grass and behave like a civilized animal. He
suggests that since it is the era of the globalization therefore the lamb
also should change his mind. He tells to the lamb, “Let’s be a good friend,
I’ll not eat you but you just have to do me a favour is to make sure that I
don’t go hungry.”

In the present context, the story is very much suitable to the ongoing
struggle between the corporate houses and the indigenous people across the
globe. Since the indigenous people have decided not to surrender their
ancestors land for the so-called development projects and fight against it,
the business houses are much worried about their future. Consequently, they
are in unrest for finding out the way to resolve the problems. Now they are
even ready to hear the community. They have also started talking about the
human rights in business. This is what exactly happened in the international
roundtable conference on ‘land and human rights’ organized by the UK based
Institute for Human Rights and Business in Delhi last month. The giants of
steel, power and cement like Arcelor Mittal, Tata, Jindal, NTPC and Lafarge
Cement shared the table with the social activists.

But the important question is do really the business houses bother about the
human rights? The instant answer surely would be “No”. Precisely, because a
lion can not survive without the flesh of a lamb though it may be a friend
of a lamb till he does not feel hungry. Secondly, the past experiences
suggest that the corporate houses have zero percent contribution in the
promotion and protection of Human Rights. Thirdly, the corporate houses have
also committed gross violation of human rights in the name of development.
The most interesting part is though well educated people work in the
corporate but they are not aware about the human rights as they see through
only one lance in the business that is profit. The corporate houses
including Tata, Jindal, Mittal, Lafarge Cement and PSU NTPC accept that they
have not done anything for the promotion and protection of human rights
especially for the indigenous people.
The questions come in one’s mind is why are the corporate houses attempting
to jump from the CSR (corporate social responsibility) to human rights? Does
it mean the CSR became useless at this moment? Is the CSR not helping them
in land acquisition? The term CSR came into public domain in the early 1970s
and became very common in 21st century in India. Ideally, the CSR policy
would function as a built-in self-regulating mechanism whereby business
would monitor and ensure their adherence to law, ethical standards and
international norms. The business would embrace responsibility for the
impact of their activities on environment, consumers, employees,
communities, stakeholders and other members of the public sphere.

In practice, the community was completely left out in the CSR programme and
the whole benefit went to the employees, consumers and other stakeholders.
For instance, the Tate steel claims of spending 66 percent of its annual
income on CSR programmes but the whole benefit goes to its employees,
consumes and other stakeholders and the affected community get nothing out
of it that’s why the indigenous people are not ready to give 24,500 acres of
land to the Tata steel for its proposed green field project at Tontoposi of
Saraikela-Kharsawan district in Jharkhand. According to a noted activist
Xavier Dias, the CSR was used as a weapon for snatching land from the
indigenous community. He says, “The mining has been under taken for more
than hundred years in the state of Jharkhand, the livelihood resources of
the indigenous people were destroyed and forest was cut, what responsibility

To: Sarai Reader-list reader-l...@sarai.net


Dear All

It seems as if a slow systematic poison of mutual hate and suspicion
is being spread through introduction of absolutely deplorable and
disgusting measures like one which the story focuses below. I wonder
why there seems to be much of focus on this word called 'conspiracy'?

Are schemes like national identity cards, not a direct material
offshoot of small, seemingly banal, localized, measures of spreading
hate/suspicion/panic/insecurity like this one?

 Is this not a clear institutionalized attempt to lessen the mutual
trust of an urban Indian towards other urban citizens who claim to be
Indians too.

As the story suggests, 'The Criminal Investigation Department (CID),
which is meant to probe high-profile cases, will now investigate love
affairs that have
resulted in marriages between Hindu girls and Muslim boys.The state
CID has been told to check whether Muslim boys are enticing Hindu
girls as part of a larger ‘conspiracy’.'

The underlying assumption in the above argument seems to be - all
Muslim men who claim to be Indian citizens are part of a larger
'conspiracy' of Islam to de-rail Hinduism in India.

I don't want to undervalue the possibility of a mass reach of these
arguments which might be based on an assumed sense of paranoia or
panic or insecurity by terming these assumptions as 'outrageous' or
'bizarre' but at the same time I want to most earnestly appeal to all
those who can perhaps see the mischief here and urge them to voice
their dissent against such measure in the most strongest terms.

Warm regards

All Hindu-Muslim love marriages under probe
3 Jul 2009, 0426 hrs IST, Sanjeev Shivadekar, TNN


MUMBAI: The Criminal Investigation Department (CID), which is meant to
probe high-profile cases, will now investigate love affairs that have
resulted in marriages between Hindu girls and Muslim boys.

The state CID has been told to check whether Muslim boys are enticing
Hindu girls as part of a larger ‘conspiracy’. Minister of state for
home (rural) Nitin Raut announced this step in the legislative
assembly on the last day of its session.

BJP MLAs Eknath Khadse and Devendra Fadnavis had alleged in the
assembly that young Muslim boys in rural areas were wooing Hindu
college girls and then marrying them. This, they claimed, was part of
a ‘conspiracy’ to increase the strength of the community. Khadse had
further alleged that some Hindu girls had also been sent to the Gulf.

In his reply, Raut had admitted that such incidents were taking place
in the state. “I will initiate an inquiry into this,’’ the minister
had promised. However, the opposition had demanded a CID probe,
terming the issue as serious. Raut had then given in to their demands.

CID chief S P S Yadav said, “We are still to receive the order. The
first thing we will have to do is to check whether such an inquiry is
in consonance with the CID manual. If not, we will inform the
government about the norms. If the government persists, we will decide
on how to carry out these investigations.’’

Raut’s announcement has not gone down well with his cabinet colleagues
and leaders of the Muslim community. Senior NCP leader and labour
minister Nawab Malik said the BJP had a political interest in raising
such issues. “The BJP’s politics has always been based on communalism
and this demand too is part of the same theory,’’ he added.

Congress leader and minister of state for home (urban) Arif Naseem
Khan saidthere was no provision in law where a member of a particular
community could be stopped from marrying a girl/boy of another
community. “In case a girl or boy is pressured into getting married to
a member of another community, the offender should certainly be
punished,’’ he added.

Refuting the allegations made by Malik and Khan against the BJP,
Fadnavis said, “Had we wanted to politicise the issue, we would have
carried out a morcha and staged a protest. Instead, we demanded a CID
inquiry. This shows that our intention is not to gain political
mileage from the issue.’’

When contacted on Tuesday, Raut said, “The inquiry will not be
restricted to limited or specific cases and will be statewide.’’

Meanwhile, home department officials too have been left wondering as
to how investigations can be conducted into cases where a Hindu girl
has married a boy from the Muslim community or vice versa. “Finding
such cases and calling the persons concerned for an inquiry would be a
lengthy process,’’ an official said, adding that it may even lead to
communal disharmony.

[GreenYouth] More on Budget 2009-10

2009-07-06 Thread Sukla Sen
In the course of his budget speech, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee rather
deferentially, and not without a touch of pride, referred to bank
nationalisation by Indira Gandhi - forty years back on July 14.
In the context of his assertion that the banking and insurance industries
would continue to remain under government control and the claim that the
40-year old decision is the key to the current stability of Indian financial
sector in the midst global tempest and meltdown.
He, however, made no attempt whatever to compare his current budget with
that historic move.
Obviously there is none of that flamboyance, the boisterous mobilisations on
the streets, and the huge political impact.
In a way, still this budget could be compared with that in terms of its
professed focus on the proverbial Aam Aadmi - the mascot in the electoral
campaign of the Congress Party.
This one has clearly made a striking break with the traditions set since
1991.
The focal mantra of neoliberal budget making - fiscal responsiblity - has
been given a rather discourteous short shrift.
No big ticket reforms either.
Massive expansion in fiscal allocations in infrastructure and rural
developments, and social security schemes.
The BSE sensex nosedived by some 870 points.
Never mind, the political dividend cannot but be positive.

The (reformist) path charted out by the Economic Survey preceding the
actual budget has just gone out of the window.
The Presidential address to the Joint Session of the Parliament on June 4
last has acted as the bedrock.

That's quite a bit beyond expectations.

Of course ossified minds would turn still more ossified and withdraw into
denial mode.
But that's not how the struggles in the coming days can be conducted with
any degree of credibility and effectiveness.

[GreenYouth] Action Alert: Budget Allots Rs 120 Cr. for Unique ID

2009-07-06 Thread Sukla Sen
There are two different sets of problems here.

One, very much recognised in the Western context.
That is the issue of privacy, data security and the threat of identity
theft. There is a strong aversion to allow the Big Brother / Sister all the
while breathe down the neck.

But there is also another set of problem. India specific
A very significant segment of our population remain unlettered, and hence
severely lacking in general awareness, and also without any shelter worth
the name.
Hence they may not just be able to obtain these cards. And even if the card
is obtained, one may not be able to properly use it.
But the most dangerous aspect is that inability to produce the card at
command will criminalise the very existence. And that would make one utterly
vulnerable to grossest forms of exploitations and abuse. Apart from the not
too unlikely prospects of being thrown behind the bars indefinitely.
And precisely because of general awareness and grinding poverty, the issue
would look too remote and esoteric to the potential victims till it hits in
the face.

Not that it would be too easy to implement. We know the case of the voter
identity card.
But that cannot be any ground for passive acquiescence.

Pranab allots Rs 120 cr for Unique ID; first set in 18 months

Agencies Posted online: Monday , Jul 06, 2009 at 1401 hrs

New Delhi : Countrymen will start getting the sophisticated unique identity
cards from within the next 18 months with the government allocating Rs 120
crore for the purpose in the general budget on Monday.
Announcing this, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee said the first set of
unique identity numbers will be rolled out in 12 to 18 months.

A provision of Rs 120 crore has been proposed for this project, Mukherjee
said during his budget in the Lok Sabha.

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), set up recently by the
government, will establish an online databse with identity and biometric

[GreenYouth] Nepal Updates: Parliament Session Resumes: Maoists End Obstruction

*Nepal Updates: Parliament Session Resumes: Maoists End Obstruction*

I/II.
http://www.nepalnews.com/main/index.php/news-archive/1-top-story/328-house-resumes-maoist-chairman-vents-ire-at-ruling-coalition.html

House resumes; Maoist chairman vents ire at ruling coalition Monday, 06 July
2009 11:44

The normal session of the legislature parliament resumed Monday evening
following an agreement between the ruling CPN (UML) and the main opposition
Unified CPN (Maoist). The House has resumed after two months of obstruction.

As per the agreement reached at a meeting of the senior leaders of the two
parties, Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal will address the parliament today
on the Maoist demands. He has also agreed to define the powers of the
President and the Prime Minister within one month.

The House session was to begin at 3 pm but was delayed by hours as the
leaders of the major parties were busy in internal discussions. Earlier
today, a brief meeting of the central secretariat of the Unified CPN
(Maoist) held decided to allow the legislature parliament to resume its
regular proceedings.

Meanwhile, speaking at the start of the session, Maoist chairman Pushpa
Kamal Dahal accused the Prime Minister of being ‘remote controlled’ from
outsiders and that the new government was established against the spirit of
the people's mandate expressed through the CA election. He said his party is
now fighting for civilian supremacy and is fully committed to peace process
and constitution-drafting process.

He said his party has decided to allow the House proceedings as a reply to
those who are trying to subvert the very essence of the parliament.

Dahal also said he resigned as the Prime Minister to avert a major
confrontation and keep in tact the peace process and constitution-drafting
process.

Prime Minister Nepal is to address today's session.

 *Maoists still in shock, PM Nepal says before House
*

 Kantipur ReportKATHMANDU, July 6 - After months of obstruction, the
Legislature-Parliament of the Constituent Assembly (CA) has resumed on
Monday. The session commenced at around 6.45 pm.

Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal and Unified CPN (Maoist) chairman Pushpa
Kamal Dahal addressed the House tonight.

In what seemed like a comeback to the Maoist chairman’s remarks, Prime
Minister Nepal said it is obvious that the Maoists are still in “shock”
having left the power, thus the animosity.

“We can understand how it hurts when one has to leave power. These things
are obvious,” he opined.

He added, “But it is now time to take it easy. You should not insult
somebody because of this shock.”

Referring to the Maoists’ remarks about the current government being formed
by a “remote control”, the Prime Minister said that the 359 members of the
601-seat CA elected him.

“Now how can 242 members say that I am running from a remote control?” he
asked.

Prime Minister Nepal said an understanding among the parties will be sought
within one month on the “civilian supremacy” issue raised by the Maoists.

He said, “I am ready to be very flexible for consensus and understanding.”
*“Presidential position was used”*

During his nearly one and a half our long address, Maoist chairman Dahal
clarified his government’s move to bring about a democratic change in the
Nepal Army (NA), which he claimed the reason why the Maoist party had to
step down from the government.

He said the then Maoist-led government tried to change the mechanism of
Nepal Police, Armed Police Force, NA and the employees as per the people’s
aspirations.

“The security mechanism especially the army had to be democratised as per
the people’s aspiration… But that did not happen. The feudal totalitarianism
continued to stay in it. .. But things went wrong when attempts were made to
democratise the army.”

 “We should not forget the historical necessity of that time just because we
had some power for some time… What I felt was I had to address this since we
have become republic,” he added.

Dahal said, “I tried to address the problem in that mechanism and others as
per the republic aspiration, staying within the limitations of the Interim
Constitution, coalition government and the understanding between the
political parties.”

On the context of Chief of Army Staff (CoAS) Rookmangad Katawal, he said
that the Army Chief was not willing to accept the new change, instead he
insulted the elected-government and disobeyed its orders.

The Maoist Chairman further went on to say that an “earthquake” hit the
regressive forces and the status quoits as soon as he began the process to
take action against the CoAS.

“The President was brought forward and a state of constitutional coup was
created by directly violating the people’s mandate,” he reiterated.

The Maoists had stepped down from the government on May 4 after the
President reinstated CoAS Katawal who was sacked by the Maoist cabinet.

A singularity called Dalit

* Venomous Touch: Notes on Caste, Culture and Politics *

By Ravikumar; Translated from the Tamil by R. Azhagarasan with a Foreword by
Susie Tharu

Samya, Kolkata, 2009, 298 pp., Rs 650 ISBN 81-85604-76-2

By: Paul Sharrad

We are now used to seeing tough, uncompromising poems and simple, gritty
life stories from Dalit writers. We may even have become inured to them and
buried their protests in conference papers and anthologies. This book fights
indifference and condescension. It catalogues from first-hand experience the
destruction of homes, the torture of wrongfully arrested people, the
imprisonment of children, imbalances in education funding, election-rigging
- all the outrages of caste exclusionism - but it refuses to be contained as
'mere victim experience'. The writer is an activist-intellectual who
commands an impressive range of reference: from Gramsci to Guha, Frederick
Douglass to Jacques Derrida, Kafka to Kundera. As an organic intellectual,
he can present conference papers without any comfortable intellectual
distancing.

*Venomous Touch* is a collection of journalistic reportage, cultural
analysis, historical investigation, radio talks and conference papers about
the condition of Dalit people in Tamil Nadu. Ravikumar is a scholar of
Tamil, a smallpress publisher, and general secretary of
ViduthalaiCiruthaikal Katchi. The strength of this collection is its
strong base in
local social issues: the texture of collecting data on killings, mobilising
coalitions of small organisations, mounting protest marches. It is a clear
example of the need to attend to the particular regional dynamics of Indian
politics in order to address problems effectively; a Dalit in Tamil Nadu is
shaped by different forces than a Dalit in Maharashtra or Bihar.

BANGALORE, India -- Popping out of an auto rickshaw, Manohar Elavarthi
unloaded a backpack stuffed with protest posters. Soon he would be rushing
to a street demonstration, one that would bring together low-caste Dalit

[GreenYouth] UPA failed to use Rs 72,500 crore for Dalits says a Study

2009-07-06 Thread Ranjit Ranjit
A small fact that might interest you

*As published in The Times of India, Delhi Edition, 5 Jul 2009*

 http://blog.insightyv.com/

*UPA failed to use Rs 72,500 crore for Dalits says a Study *



The United Progressive Alliance (UPA) may wax eloquent about empowering the
downtrodden, but in the last five years it has denied the Scheduled Castes
(SCs) a whopping Rs.72,500 crore ($15.16 billion) that should have been
earmarked for them under a special scheme.

This has been underlined by voluntary organisation National Campaign on
Dalit Human Rights (NCDHR) after a study of India’s budget documents. Called
the special component plan (SCP), the scheme was a strategy evolved way back
in April 1975, envisaging that every central ministry must allocate funds
from its annual plan for Dalits according to their population.

SCs today form 16.2 percent of India’s 1.1 billion population. Therefore,
between 2005 and 2009, the Congress-led government should have set aside
Rs.129,000 crore for Dalits. But as much as Rs.72,500 crore was not
earmarked, the NCDHR has pointed out.

“The figures of allocation are a mute witness to the history of denial of
exclusion. It is not only for the last five years; this trend is observed
for the last 28 years since the inception of the special component plan in
1979-80,” states the NCDHR.

It points to the allocations in the interim budget of the UPA government in
February.

“Out of 75 ministries and their departments, only 16 have allocated funds
under the SCP. Out of these, nine ministries have allocated token amounts
below five percent. Labour and employment, science  technology,
bio-technology, panchayati raj and textiles are some of the examples,” says
the study.

But the NCDHR concedes that human resource development, social justice and
empowerment, rural development, women and child development and health
ministries did make allocations according to the Dalit population.

The SCP came into being in 1979-80 and only Rs.433 crore had been spent on
SCs and Scheduled Tribes (STs) together in the 30 years before that.

According to the Planning Commission guidelines, these funds cannot be
diverted for any other purpose.

The ruling Congress and its UPA allies that spoke of the common man in the
run up to elections allocated Rs.15,280 crore for SCs in its interim budget
in February while it should have set aside Rs.34,413 crore for this fiscal,
says NCDHR.

“This is even lower than last year’s allocation,” points out the study.

“While the total increase in the plan outlay is 15.74 percent, it is
unacceptable that at this critical time of financial crisis, the amount for
the socially and economically vulnerable sections is drastically reduced.
The amount denied is 55 percent this year!”

[GreenYouth] Medha Patkar makes film debut

2009-07-06 Thread aryakrishnan ramakrishnan
Medha Patkar makes film debut
by: Times News Network
03 Jul 2009

She’s made her presence felt in real life, fighting for people’s rights.

Now, she’s all set to do the same on-screen. Narmada Bachao Andolan’s
Medha Patkar will be making her film debut in the Jayprad
Desai-directed Marathi movie Swarajya. This story of real people in
real situations (the director says the film is about greed and
ambition, values and ideals, struggle and survival) deals with the
conflict faced by a journalist who refuses to compromise on his values
and finally launches his own newspaper. And the fiery Medha is playing
herself, doing what she has been doing since years, only in front of
the camera now!

What’s more, the film also has two Oscar winners as part of its
talented crew — Bhanu Athaiya, the first Indian to have won an Oscar
for her costumes for the 1982 film Gandhi and Resul Pookutty who
bagged an Oscar for his sound design for Slumdog Millionaire.

“Working for Swarajya is my way of giving back to the city which has
given me accolades. The script and the passion of the director struck
me, here’s someone who wants to make a meaningful film in and about
his motherland,” says Resul. Bhanu, too, is excited about working on a
film in her own mother tongue. “It is a contemporary film set against
the social and political background of Maharashtra,” she adds. Two
Oscar winners behind the scenes and one real-life fiesty woman in
front of it... well, here’s something to look out for!

Strange wisdom!! I must say. Really to be appreciated.
Since you are endowed with specially made early 20th century framework of
Leninism, everything can be flitered to anti-communist tirades of media.
For almost, 75 years  erstwhile Soviet Union was spreading the democratic
deficit within the country as US-Capitalist media creation. Finally, all the
confuscious became zen buddhist one fine day after the fall of the empire.


Prior to the fall of erstwhile Soviet Union, EMS, yours dialectcial

to non-existence.
You must be rememebering what EMS said: Can humans return to Ape? On SU

 പ്രശ്നം.ദേശാഭിമാനിയിലെ പട്ടിവാര്‍ത്ത തന്നെ. ശരിയാണ്, ലേഖകന് പറ്റിയ അമളി
 അല്ലെങ്കില്‍ വിവരക്കേട് തന്നെ , സംശയമില്ല. ഇനി മനോരമയിലേക്ക്. ലാവലിന്‍ 
 പി.ബി
 യാണ് പ്രശ്നം. ഹെദ്ദിംഗ് ഞാന്‍ ഓര്‍ക്കുന്നില്ല. എങ്കിലും ഇതാണ് ഞാന്‍
 ചൂണ്ടിക്കാണിക്കുന്നത്. വി.എസ്. പറഞ്ഞു വിജയ
 . വി എസ് പറഞ്ഞ വാചകങ്ങള്‍ അതേപടി
 നല്‍കിയിരിക്കുന്നു. ഒന്നല്ല രണ്ടു വാചകങ്ങള്‍. ഈ ലേഖകന്‍ പി.ബി മെമ്പര്‍ അല്ല
 എന്ന് നമുക്കൊക്കെ അറിയാം. പിന്നെ ഈ വി എസിന്റെ വാചകങ്ങള്‍ എവിടുന്നു കിട്ടി,
 അദ്ദേഹം ഭാവിക്കുന്നത്, പി.ബി അംഗങ്ങളില്‍ ആരോ ചോര്‍ത്തി കൊടുത്തു എന്നാണു.
 പക്ഷെ നമുക്കറിയാം, വി എസ് അല്ലാതെ മറ്റാരും ഇത് ചെയ്യാന്‍ പി.ബിയില്‍
 ഇല്ലെന്നു. പക്ഷെ അദ്ദേഹം ഇത് ചെയ്യില്ലെന്നും കേരളതുകാര്‍ക്കറിയാം. പിന്നെ
 ലേഖകന് ഈ വാചകങ്ങള്‍ എവിടുന്നു കിട്ടി.ഹൈ ടെക് കള്ളന്റെ കളി കണ്ടോ? നമ്മള്‍
 സംശയിക്കില്ലായിരുന്നു, പക്ഷെ നമുക്കറിയാം ഏതൊരു കള്ളനും  തന്നെ പിടികൂടാനയി
 ഒരു തുമ്പ് അവശേഷിപ്പിക്കും എന്ന്. അത് ഇവിടെയും നടന്നു. പി.ബിയുടെ വായില്‍
 ബാലാനന്ദന്‍ റിപ്പോര്‍ട്ടും ഒക്കെ കയറ്റിവിട്ടു. അതൊക്കെ പലപ്രാവശ്യം പൊട്ടി
 തീര്‍ന്ന പടക്കമായതുകൊണ്ട് നമുക്ക് പെട്ടെന്ന് കാര്യം പിടികിട്ടി.
   അപ്പോള്‍ ഹൈ ടെക് കള്ളനും തേങ്ങാ കള്ളനും പിടി
 കിട്ടിയില്ലേ സുഹൃത്തുക്കളെ. തെങ്ങക്കള്ളനെ കൈകാര്യം ചെയ്യാനും കൈ വയ്ക്കാനും
 എളുപ്പമാണ് ആരും ചോദിക്കാനും പറയാനുമില്ല.കൊമ്രെട്സ് പിണ്ടികെട്ടു എന്നോ എന്ത്
 വേണമെങ്കിലും വിളിക്കാം. പക്ഷെ മറ്റവനെ സൂക്ഷിച്ചു കൈകാര്യം ചെയ്യണം.
 തട്ടിക്കളയാനും മടിക്കില്ല അവന്‍.
