Hello
It does not
matter whether, in the end, Pratibha Patil wins or loses. In her choice the
nation has already lost.
Here are some
intresting facts from an article by MV Kamath which give a beautiful insight
into this sham of an election which Sonia (Mano) Gandhi has staged.
1.
Pratibha Patil’s name emerged only after five
Congress leaders all men were first considered and then, under Leftist
pressure, rejected to their utter embarrassment and eternal shame. Think of them;
all well-known figures, each distinguished in his own way, men like Pranab
Mukherjee, Karan Singh, Shivraj Patil, Arjun Singh and Sushil Kumar Shinde. All
of them were humiliated. For the Congress, therefore, to claim that it was
their idea to have a woman president is pure humbug and large scale cheating of
the public. It will fool nobody.
2.
Pratibha has no known track record of having done anything
of consequence for women in all these decades of being in public life. And who
says that it take only a woman to take the cause of women. Ram mohan Roy, a man
was the one who fought against Sati system.
3.
So is Rajdeep Sardesai, editor-in-chief of CNN-IBN and a
columnist besides, who wants to know who is bothered, that in her selection was
also the humiliation of another son of the (Maharashtrian) soil, Shivraj Patil.
“Ms.Patil,” writes Sardesai, “has revealed no glimmer of
threatening talent, no unsettling flamboyance, no unnecessary excellence or
extraordinary charisma that her supporters and patrons might undoubtedly have
hated or seen as a rival power centre”. Shiv Sena kindly note.
4.
Forget the fact that Pratibha Patil’s brother has
been charged with a grievous crime. Forget the fact that the sugar factory of
which Pratibha Patil was founding chairman owes a bank some Rs.19 crores and
not a paise has been repaid.
5.
The co-operative bank in Jalgaon set up by Pratibha Patil
ostensibly to empower women had its licence revoked in 2003 by the Reserve Bank
of India which charged the bank with a faulty loan policy and a policy which
largely benefited her own relatives. One Anjali Dilipsingh Patil who got a
waiver of Rs.29.86 lakhs, a sister-in-law Rajkaur Dilipsingh Patil who got a
waiver of Rs.2.47 lakhs and yet another sister-in-law Kavita Aravind Patil who
got a waiver of Rs.8.59 lakhs. According to reports, in all, a dozen of
Pratibha’s relatives were granted loans totalling Rs. 2.2 crores, most of
them declared Non-performing Assets (NPAs).
6.
After an RBI inspection of the bank in 2002, it was
declared sick. The gross NPAs of the bank, that is, loans that have gone bad,
amount to 65.8 per cent of the total loans and advances. A writ petition filed
by the bank’s depositors in the High Court says: “Because of the
influence of Respondents (Pratibha Patil), the bank has given various loans to
the relatives and to a sugar factory of which she is a Director. Her relatives
have not paid back the loans.
7.
Considering that it was Dr. Kalam who had raised the issue
of Sonia Gandhi’s ineligibility to the Prime Ministership because of her
alien past, it would have been a miracle if the Congress President stood by him
at this crucial hour. What the present situation shows is a betrayal of
all principles by the Congress. Worse, it is a betrayal of India. If the
Congress does not understand this, it understands nothing.
It does not
matter whether, in the end, Pratibha Patil wins or loses. In her choice the
nation has already lost.

this message will not achieve you anything, neither deleting it will harm you.
And this mail originated from my computer, not from Vaishno Devi or Vatican.
Its sole aim is to let everyone know who our future President is and feel
ashamed for ourselves. Maybe the article is biased... Maybe it says the truth.
I’ve forwarded because I felt satisfied it is the truth.
