Corrupt Corporate Fascism in India - Dawn Report
THE Pakistani newspaper DAWN, yesterday carried a very damning report about India's Corporate Influence and Corruption as if Pakistan is Paradise! The Dawn accuses the Congress, BJP and the CPM of being managed by the Corporate Mafia. And that covers almost the entire political 'spectrum' of India.
DAWN is very harsh to the Prime Minister when it says, “Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's tenures first as finance minister and then as prime minister have been littered with huge corruption scandals, the Harshad Mehta affair being just one. In fact, the media has rarely put the spotlight on him even though the economic reforms that he is credited with would not be there had his government, when he was finance minister, not bribed a clutch of MPs to pass a trust vote. In other words, the very basis of India's so-called reforms flows from an act of massive corruption which would have sent the prime minister of the day in any other country straight to prison. However, only the tribal MPs who accepted the bribe were jailed, not the bribe givers. Is it not corruption that the current prime minister has abused gaping loopholes in the constitution, with the help of the corporate media, whereby he has not faced the electorate to give him legitimacy during his two terms? And is he really a resident of Assam as he has claimed to find a safe seat to the Rajya Sabha from the remote north-eastern state? Corruption in India is reflected in the very basic fact that you have to be filthy rich and with massive muscle power to fight an election to claim your right as a citizen. Nobody is arguing that this is going to change without a massive political upheaval.”
The story in DAWN is perhaps written by an Indian!
