Rajdeep Sardesai Don Quixote from CNNIBN Stable!!!!!!!!!!!

   

Let us welcome this Don Quixote from CNNIBN stable who instead of staying with his stated profession wants to impart lessons in English to us illiterates’ in India. This husband and wife team does us great service, is a constant source of entertainment, if it is not Rajdeep then rest assured it will be Sagarika Ghose aka Bloody Mary who will lighten up our tense hour with her gems, regardless of the fact she is in India or Bangkok.

Now let us turn our attention to this pompous, self proclaimed journalist who would want us to learn English the way he has learnt it.  - Not a hard word - Rajdeep Sardesai

“Last week LK Advani did what is considered extremely unusual for an Indian politician: he said ‘sorry’. Predictably, in a political environment not used to such courtesies, the BJP leader’s apology letter to Congress president Sonia Gandhi for having dragged her name into the black money tangle has proved controversial. The BJP has tied itself in semantics, claiming that a ‘regret’ is not an apology. The Congress has been celebratory, viewing Advani’s remarks as a victory for its leadership. No one knows what prompted Advani to suddenly express regret, but whatever the motives, it did at least suggest a welcome return to decency in public life: after all, if you make a personal accusation without enough evidence then propriety demands that you issue a retraction.”

“Dated: February 16, 2011
Dear Smt. Sonia ji,
On my return from Kolkatta last night I found your letter dated 15 February awaiting me.
I am happy that you have categorically denied the reports alluded to in the Task Force’s report on Black Money. If these had been denied earlier, I am sure the Task Force would have factored in, the denial in its report. Even so, I deeply regret the distress caused to you.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,
( L.K. ADVANI )”

This is the original letter - you can find it on BJP's official website.

I am searching for the word 'Sorry' as also “for having dragged her name into black money tangle.” This is figment of imagination, lack of knowledge of English, no this could only be a result of crony journalism fully paid for by the Congress. There is no sense or meaning in reading his post beyond the opening paragraph since the essence and purpose is exposed at this stage it self.

Let us ask this worthy has he apologized to the people of Gujarat and Mr.Narendra Modi against whom he has single handedly carried a sustained campaign of calumny since 2002. He has frozen the state of Gujarat in the year 2002 has he ever reported any positive event from that state. The emphatic answer is NO, may we know why? lacks basic courtesy, has he initiated action against his wife and deputy editor of CNNIBN for her various transgressions, has he or she issued an apology or regret to the viewers of CNNIBN and the vast majority of Indians whose sentiments were hurt by the irreverent tweets posted by her, again the answer is an emphatic NO.

What about the Rajdeep Sardesai who employed fake tweets on prime time show to influence viewers, was that ethical? We do not think Mr. Sardesai you of all the people are in anyway qualified to be writing on or about a personality of Mr.L.K.Advani, even when you have been paid by his political opponents.

Your caliber and performance as a journalist is all too obvious, for those who may not be familiar with your antics and brand of journalism this video would be an eye opener; on the levels of decency that you practice in the course of your profession.

  

                               

Let me conclude this post with a sample comment posted by Mr.Dilip on Hindustan Times in response to this article.                                                                                                                                                                

“This guy's Congress blood is thicker than water, is well exhibited from his arty farty article.To get some cheap publicity, the lackey will proatrate his inetgrity to submision.Gloating is premature and the fairy god mother is by no means out of the woods, the list is being investigated throughly and Swiss banks are still divulging informnation, on a weekly basis. Directly or indirectly if any association or connection is revealed, your so called whiter than white God mother, will be blown out of the water and there will run out of hiding place.Remeber there is no smoke without fire.Hold your horses and do not be too presumtious and condescending, you may live to regret it.Circumstanial evidence indicate some linkage with the dynasty, what is required is concrete incriminating evidence, that work is in progress.The mess that India is in today, stems from low grade Congress politicians, who lacks decency,integrity and self esteem., aided the media chamchas, who have sold their honesty and journalistic upright integrity.Shameless muppets.By the way to say Sorry is not a sign of weakness but Courage, how many Congress Ministers including the Chair woman, have sadi sorry to the poor Indians for screwing them under false promises, high inflation, high food prices, looting the nations monies, wealth, squandering resources, grafts, corruptions, denying them jobs, health care, education, infrastructures, inclusive growth and pillaged them under the gimmick of Aaam Admi, or whatever that means.Where is Congress Sorry?, for mis management of the economy? Such double standard makes one as sick as a parrot, lets get some unbiased, unparanoid balance, in the future. “ 

Latest on this issue as on 1st March 2011.

Advani, who remains chivalrous towards women, replied that if she had denied these frequent publications, the BJP task force would have certainly considered the denial. Advani's letter does not even remotely admit that what he had stated at the press conference was untrue. The relevant sentence of his letter is, "I deeply regret the distress caused to you." The distress had not been caused by Advani but by the respectable Swiss publications, the Soviet book, responsible newspapers, a leader of the Janata Party and even me, more than once. Advani did not say in his letter that he or the task force were impressed with her denial and believed it to be true. Advani has not apologised to Sonia Gandhi.  by Mr. Ram Jethmalani  

I welcome a debate and discussion on this…As always, please keep your tone civil, your language polite…no sweeping generalisations please and no personal abuse.  Thank you.
