"I am neither a supporter or opposer of Naxals" says Binayak Sen
It is interesting how our leftist 'intellectuals' such as Binayak and Arundhati are allowed to get away with such self serving ambiguous statements when patriotic folks are grilled by our clever journalists...
I dont expect yellow propaganda puppets of Stalinist rapist goons and Maoist throat slitters to ask inconvenient questions to Binayak but was there no patriotic, pro-India journalist in the group that could not ask Binayak the following questions?
Q: Oh Mr. Binayak we are so thrilled by your Gandhian approach to such matters...you neither hate nor support...how great you are...can you kindly tell us is that your approach to other issues as well, for example, can we say you neither support nor oppose Salwa Judum? After all they are pretty much same as Naxals, going by your opinion, after all?
Expected A: Oh NO! I am totally opposed to Salwa Judum. They should be disbanded immediately! They are killers!
Q: Thanks very much Mr. Sen...can we say you take similar neither support nor oppose stand on economic matters? Are you neither a supporter of economic liberalisation and end of state monopoly or opposed to them?
A: Of course not! I am totally opposed to privatisation because that is why our country is so corrupt!
Q: How would you reconcile that with the fact that some of the most corrupt and ruthlessly anti-people staff can be found in public sector and in state monopolises like BSNL/IA/PUBs/RTO etc. etc? Be that as it may, can you please clarify if you are neither a supporter nor a opponent of Bajrang Dal and VHP? Your kind Gandhian love and affection surely extends to them?
A: Dont be silly! I am totally opposed to communal Sangh parivar!
Q: Great..can we then assume that you are opposed to communal IM/SIMI/MEM and others?
A: Well, there is the subjective and then there is the objective...we should consider the underprivileged background, the trauma of Pakistan and so on.. Well we have to weigh all the evidence and not treat anyone as bad unless any particular member of that organisation has been convicted of crime...in such case we should serve them biriyani in prison and treat them well..we should try and understand and be nice to them..
Then of course, it will become very very clear whether Binayak is the pure as driven snow love-all character or simply a charlatan supporter of the rapist goons, butchers, beijing puppets and mass murderers..giving a too clever by half reply to questions that do not suit him, knowing fully well that the yellows will not challenge him.
Dont expect our yellow media to do that anytime soon..
