has much in them to claim such legacies as those of Sardar Patel or Nehru.
One is a big time thief who has become PM solely on the strength of his exceptional ability to bray out hyndu.....muxlim....hyndu....muxlim... and fool North Indian commoners.
The other is a naïve novice who has all but proven that he is too puny to be a national leader !
“one can't be an RSS pracharak and a disciple of Patel simultaneously”:The basic premise of accessioning of Princely state to form the Indian is equality in every respect, language included, and in every aspect to every citizen of each of the accessioning states. People in those days had heardly heard of and hardly had any knowledge of the people of the other states, their culture , their language etc Other than English people of one state had no knowledge of the language of the other It could true of the members of the constituent Assembly also.If the basic premise of the accessioning is annulled, the result from the accessioning also stands annulled.The Constituent Assembly was bench Fixed :the then Governor General was eased out.Some one from a Hindi (though Hindi is URDU Pakistan’s national language written in Devnagri script )state was brought in.He by his casting Vote annulled the premise of equality of all citizens.Then Is is not a fact that what the constituent Assembly wrote saying Hindi as the official language and the needs of india for unity cannot possible simultaneously.R.PONNAMBALAM
Contribution of Sardar Patel in unifying India with merger of more than 550 princely states must be given a due credit. However let us ask some questions to those who are trying to hijack Sardar Parel 1. Was he not Home Minister and Dy PM when Mahatma Gandhi was assasinated 2. Was he not Home Minister when RSS was banned in 1948 after the Mahatma assasination? 3. Was he not Home Minister when Veer Savarkar was implicated asa mastermind in Mahatma Gandhi murder case? 4. Was he not Home Minister and Dy PM when Rs 55 crores were paid to Pakistan knowing fully well that money would be used to finance the inflitrators across the Kashmir border in October 1947? The nation will expect fair answers to these questionsfrom these hypocrites
There are so many other whys Rediff left unasked, because it is uncomfortable for other parties...?
1.Why a foreign born must not be PM of India? 2.Why Congress still exists when Mahathma wanted it closed after freedom? 3.Why Rahul Gandhi can not stop putting his foot in his mouth? 4.Why does Rahul makes so many secret foreign trips? etc..etc..etc...etc....
its just inauguration as he in PM position and patel is honoured for his service to nation..All CMs and PMs do such ceremonies . does not amount to being disciple.
