I had made an assertion that GOI is scared to admit that there is an actual threat and I had asked what are they afraid of? Are they afraid of getting assassinated? What is wrong in asking that, as they look shyt scared to even admitting things went really wrong recently in NE, I know because I was there, and saw it with my own eyes the reality in Sikkim. I am sure if that was the case in Sikkim, the reality in AP (Tawang) would have been 10 times worse!
@Ahmed,
Maomao does have a slight point. You need to understand that GOI is shit scared of admitting anything that might "offend" the Chinese overtly and would cause them to show their irritation. Not just former Defence minister Fernandes, but also current Joint and Air Chief Naik as well as Army Chief VK Singh have clearly and openly said that PLA does pose a serious threat, which the GOI elites tried to silence unsuccessfully, and this has caused a lot of friction between the tri-services and the government. Naik in the past few months has called more press conferences and interviews than the 3 ex-chiefs had done in their entire tenure put together.
Also, during a very bitter interview by former Air Vice Marshal PK Barbora who spoke the same, the GOI warned him not to "interact too much" with the public. What the hell does this mean?
You can still see the article having said so. It means GOI is hiding something from us.
Any political party ruling the country committing such severe blunders intentionally is to be reprimanded. It would be immature to say that Maomao is doing this to make NDA look superior. I am an NDA supporter but was one of its fiercest critics when the Kandahar incident took place and Parliament attacks took place with the cooling of operation Parakram. Same way, right now UPA controls the reins of this country and hence is responsible:
1) for its terrible spate of scams where billions are going into few pockets,
2) where non-UPA states are complaining of unfair treatment at the center,
3) where the entire Indian Military is pissed off at the government policies,
4) where expenses are going through-the-roof.
5) And when there is no clear cut decisive plan from the Center to tackle Kashmiri separatist lunatics as well as Maoists.
I am in particular worried about Chinese intentions seriously because I am not an NRI nor am I a south Indian; my state borders China and naturally, I and my people will be the first one to suffer the maximum in case PLA decides to take "indirect" steps to harrass India. The ruling party is secure with its S-300 and Akash fortified Delhi, surrounded by military central command to order any sort of punitive measures instantly but we don't have this leverage.
What does Scams have anything to do with a Helicopter crashing?
True that the scams have nothing to do with the chopper crash but it certainly has to do with the Cabinet; this body is responsible for rapidly expediting modernization of forces through various red tapes and while this helo crash is a result of unfortunately mysterious conditions, same cannot be said about the dozen or so crashes that we have had throughout this year. There is a problem that has been plaguing IAF since last 6 years (MMRCA decision) and IA (artillery joke) and still nothing new in either fields have entered the forces.
My question is, who does the common man blame other than center for such blunders ( or intentional schemes if I may) committed by the Ruling government?
