Washington signals Palestine independence!

 

 
Washington signals Palestine  independence
-DR. ABDUL RUFF COLACHAL

Even as the Zionist regime tries  its level best by tactfully using its western sponsors in Mideast,  Palestine people continue to struggle to make their own home on their territories, now illegally occupied and terrorized by an arrogantly fascist Israel. 
 
From what US president barrack Obama and foreign secretary John Kerry say humanity get assured of a genuinely  independent Palestine state emerging in Mideast to achieve peace and prosperity, existing along side Israel without any threat to its  existence. 
 
President Obama has unambiguously warned Israel that  without Palestine it can  enjoy full sovereignty in real terms and  its security is tied to  peace deal with Palestine  when it comes into force. 
 
In fact had Ariel Sharon lived  in good health – he is now stated to be in perpetual comma in an Israeli hospital- Palestine state  would have  become a reality  by now. 
 
It was under his leadership that  Gaza Strip got freedom form Israeli fascist military. But  his  successors  have tried to  upset peace momentum by  attacking Palestine intermittently, killing innocent people, including children. 
 
It for the first time since ages when Israel was assisted by USA-UK terror twins  to occupy Palestine lands  and establish Israel to grow into a fascist state. 
 
US President Barack Obama and his Secretary of State, John Kerry, said that a peace deal that maintains Israel’s security and creates an independent Palestinian state next to Israel, is possible. 
 
The statements come after Kerry concluded his latest foray into the Mideast region on Friday the 06 th December  where he and retired US general John Allen presented Israel with a detailed security plan, including an Israeli presence in the Jordan valley between Israel and Jordan for the next five years, a key Israeli security demand.
 
Israeli officials have said that while they were not satisfied with the US plan’s terms, they had not rejected the agreement outright. The Palestinian Authority said an Israeli presence in the Jordan valley was maintaining the illegal occupation, but said they were committed to continuing the negotiations with  Israeli criminal regime.
Israel, which believes that a wholesale pullout from the West Bank would deprive it of strategic depth, has said that it must maintain strategic military bases in the West Bank and a presence in the Jordan River Valley. 
 
While occupying Palestine and brutally expanding  illegal colonies inside Palatine, Israeli PM Binyamin Netanyahu, as all Zionist leaders have done so far, has maintained, as a routine rhetoric to garner more terror goods from USA and EU members states,  that he would not approve of any security deal that would compromise Israel’s security.
 
US foreign secretary John Kerry has been heavily engaged in the peace process since he assumed office in February but his unconditional support form the Zionist crimes in Palestine  does not  indicate any real heart  at White House  where the Israeli  lobbyists bribe and influence the US leaders and  officials for favors against Palestine. Kerry  therefore  has struggled to maintain negotiations between the two sides since they resumed talks in July after a three year hiatus. 
 
Palestinian negotiators have since tendered their resignation after the Israeli government, as  a usual slap on  Obama and US peace process,  approved the construction of thousands of new homes in communities outside of the 1967 borders. 
 
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas who faces tough calls from Hamas government in Gaza Strip  on the need to participate in the  Israeli sponsored fake peace talks.  has refused to accept their resignation, and has said that he will continue to discuss terms with the Israelis despite the setbacks.
 
President Obama, known for his political gimmicks as the chief protector and defender of imperialist  world,  must initiate tough steps to make Israel see reason for making peace with Palestinians by granting them full and complete independence that will naturally herald a fundamentally and historically new horizon of peace prosperity of Mideast and further, leading to peaceful global atmosphere beyond the region 
 
Israel has the means and knows the routes how to break all peace deals and look for ways to silence the besieged Palestinians with the help of Egypt though terror blockades. 
If USA uses only pleasing words  to monstrous Israel to consider their security being  linked with Palestine security- that is  certainly not enough, that is indeed absolutely nonsense, knowing what Israel is. 
Israel will read such  bogus US message as a simple joke. 
 
Time running out for Obama!
 
Already Obama has wasted opportunities to create Palestine state, especially by voting against UN vote for the  Palestine  statehood.  Obama committed another crime by vising Israel and refusing to visit Gaza Strip. Obama, however, thinks he not punishable for such anti-humanity or anti-Islam crimes. 
Israel thinks USA will always  shield the Zionist criminals as  its prime duty and hence it would not listen to Washington on its suggestions  on Palestine.
Even now, President Obama has the  power to  make Israel listen to  international outcry against perpetual  Israeli crimes in favor of Palestine  and what he needs is  the will to perform his  duties to the mankind. 
Mere US rhetoric is jot enough!
Time running out for Obama, too!
He needs to prove his real worth as the top statesman.

Combating Indian corruption: Anna Hazare launches Lokpal agitation, again!

 

 

Combating Indian corruption: Anna Hazare launches Lokpal agitation, again!

 

-DR. ABDUL RUFF COLACHAL

Anti-corruption  movement and Common-man (Aam Admi) politics have threatened  all political parties by their  spectacular show at the hustings in Delhi They also promise to create an essential sea-change in Indian  politics  that has remained rotten for too long- both nationally and regionally, where the politicians make merry along with corporate class and rich and at the cost of common people. .

India’s veteran Gandhian activist Anna Hazare who has threatened all corrupt political parties, including the Hindutva Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), with slow extinction, almost decimated the ruling Congress led governments in the just concluded  regional polls where  the party is almost completely routed from political map, launched an indefinite hunger strike at his village in Maharashtra state  to press for the passage of the Jan Lokpal Bill to end  corruption at high levels.

 

In the chilly 6 degrees Celsius temperature sweeping Maharashtra’s Ahmednagar district, Hazare went on his usual morning walk and then started his hunger strike under the banner of his new organisation, Jantantra Morcha.

 

The Jan Lokpal Bill, also referred to as the Citizen’s Ombudsman Bill, is an anti-corruption legislation drafted by civil society activists, seeking appointment of an independent high power panel to investigate cases of corruption.

 

Indian government and  parliament had assured Hazare to pass the Lokpal bill and implement it  but so far the Congress led UPA as well as the opposition parities  have not bothered to implement the bill mainly because, cutting across political colors and parties, unfortunately for Indian democracy,  most of the politicians and parties are corruption ridden.

 

Delhi has become a hotbed for power hungry politicians of BJP now fearing the rise of Common-man Party. AAP, a debutant political party, has emerged as the second largest party in the 2013 Delhi assembly elections with 28 seats after the BJP, which has won 31 seats. Both of them lack the absolute majority (36 seats) needed to form the government.

 

The phenomenon rise of Common-man party in Delhi polls has sent a strong message across India of warning to all political parties doing business  in the name of “serving the nation” to stop fooling the people and star working fro redressing  their genuine concerns- so far ignored by parties and leaders that seek  huge profits from politics.

 

As uncertainty prevailed over the next government in Delhi, the Aam Aadmi Party refused to form an alliance with other parties, and said it will sit in the opposition or go for re-polls in the state, if that would bring a clearer result. “We are ready to sit in the opposition or contest for the re-elections as we do not have the absolute majority to form the government,” said AAP leader Manish Sisodia after coming out of the core group meeting held at party convener Arvind Kejriwal’s residence. AAP said ‘We will play the role of a responsible opposition party, there was no question of alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party or the Congress, as it was already made clear by Arvind Kejriwal that AAP would neither support nor approach any party for alliance. We will play the role of a responsible opposition party

 

The AAP founding leader, Arvind Kejriwal  made it clear that  the party will form the government only if it achieves majority by following the natural process and not by forming alliance with any of the parties whose records are full of corruption allegations. he doe snot want to entertain horsetrading by offering money to the  independently elected members of the assembly, as has been the practice in Indian political history.

 

Meanwhile, former Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit who lost to Kejriwal in New Delhi constituency and also lost the government for  the party’s pathetic performance ,  said the Congress has not taken any decision on forming an alliance with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) so far. “We haven’t taken a decision on supporting AAP. The AAP has categorically said that it does not want to support anybody, nor do they require anybody’s support. It is their decision.” Dikshit told a TV channel.”On what might have gone wrong with the Congress’s poor performance in the assembly polls, she said: “We haven’t yet studied the whole thing. “When we went to the elections, we went with absolute faith and confidence that our record of good governance in Delhi would be a factor that would make us win. Apparently, it wasn’t the factor. We would have to look into what has happened,” she said.

 

BJP is deeply worried about  die hard  leaders of Aam Aadmai party  who are fully committed to  stamp out corruption and BJP people ahve laready tasted pwoer and  money and they need more

 

BJP knows Congress party  sis not the only target of the Common -man party but BJP is very much their target as well.

 

If it opt for power , they fear, the BJP would be just finished  just as   Congress party has suffered, although BJP gained  a lot from Lokpal  demonstrations and Aam Admi party campaign.

 

Not only in Delhi  where the bJP would face wrath of the  Aam Aadami party and people, but  also at national n level too the party would be routed  if they fail in Delhi.

 

Anna Hazare’s resumption of anti-corruption  struggle could weaken  both Congress and BJP as well as other national parties that seek  huge profits at the cost of human misery.

Abraham Lincoln is  perfectly on the dot when he said none can fool the  world for ever!

Aam Admi Party has the  potential to make India  corruption free- at least to  some extent to begin with.
