New Delhi:

 

latest:Congress led UPA  Govt.has won the confidence motion vote 275-256, the government survives and now the road is clear for the govt to sign the Nuclear deal.

Earlier:

More breaking news:

The Parliamentary Session has resumed once again in Lok Sabha, speakers decision on the horse trading money issue not clear.The voting will be delayed for few hours.

More Breaking News:

The chief editor of the electronic channel in question said that they will give the tapes to the speaker only, and will not air it till that time on their channel.

He also said that the channel did not name any politician in the sting operation.

It is well known fact that the chief editor is on loggerheads with B.J.P since Gujarat Riots.

More Breaking News:

Well my opinion section fears have come true it was the  Channel   which is in association with U.S.A, which took the money to these B.J.P members House.The chief editor of the channel said they were doing  sting operation which backfired.

I had feared that Channel was colluding with the government to make a platform in favour of the nuclear deal.

In a bizaare incident minutes back Bundles of Indian currency were flashed by B.J.P member Ashok Argal as the debate was on over the issue of Nuclear deal in the Lok Sabha (the indian parliament).The B.J.P members amidst slogan shouting hurled the bundle of Indian currency at the centre table of the well.They alleged Horse trading carried out by the govt. to garner support to save the govt.This is the first time in the history of Parliament such incident has come to foray.

The opposition leader alleged that 3 crores were given to the three B.J.P members to abstain from voting.

Sushma Swaraj B.J.P spokesperson said that the whole incident was caught on tape and the speaker should call  the channel and see all tapes for himself.

Brinda Karat C.P.M leader said this is the most shameful act in the history of parliament and Indian Democracy.

Railway minister Lalu Prasad Yadav Said that this is a concocted story and money was planted by B.J.P themselves.

The house has been adjourned since further notice.

 

More Breaking News:

The debate is on in the parliament over question of nuclear deal as we speak and adding to the theory that B.J.P is supporting the deal discreetly few more members of Shiv Sena and Akali Dal will either abstain or vote for the nuclear deal.

The American Money is Working I guess??

Breaking News:

Their are unconfirmed reports that B.J.P the opposition has colluded with the Congress in favouring the confidence motion by soliciting large number of abstention during voting at 6.00 p.m. India time thus supporting the deal indirectly.

Every abstention from opposition will be a vote in favour of the govt. as 2 abstentions mean one vote for the govt.

Earlier:

New Delhi:

Amidst the propoganda of mainstream media and electronic channels in favour of the nuclear deal of which neither they nor the M.P. have and inkling of what it is all about, as most of the M.P. who are uneducated and least bothered that our country will be sold in the hands of Americans via this nuclear deal.

I can understand the compulsion of channel for supporting the deal because it is American channel but what about others.

The member of the parliament  care the least deal or no deal.What they are interested in is what the dealer is offering them for or against the deal.

According to Mr. Bardhan C.P.I member the rate is running around 25 crore per member.

Shibu Soren already guilty of taking bribe in saving the congress govt in the past is bargaining once again.

Many M.P'S who have no chance of winning from their present constituency due to delimitation and their caste base going to another constituency are bargaining hard.

Allegation are floating  in the media parlance that lot of American Money is being pumped in because U.S.A is more desperate for the deal due to their own political compulsions.

The nuclear deal or 123 agreement will be governed by Hyde Act of U.S.A which is against the foreign policy guidelines laid down by Nehru.But Who cares till the time these members are getting sack full of illegal money which they might not have dreamt in their whole life.

The mainstream media which is run by mostly politicians because they are the only people who are left with money in these inflationary times the editors are forced to dance on their tunes.Their is no commentary or talk about what is Hyde Act and educating common man about this Nuclear deal.

I have always failed to understand why section of media and govt are promoting nuclear deal when it is expensive and will take more  than 30 years to produce power in India.

Since the opposition of Big Hydel Dams in India the scope of corruption for the buerocrats and  politicians has diminshed so they have felt need for this  Nuclear deal,otherwise they would be promoting much more cheaper ways of energy like solar power and water mills which is not rocket science.

The mainstream media has also forgotten Chernobyl and how the nuclear waste will be disposed.

the bias in the maistream media is sickening over this deal which makes many think that these editors are also part of same soul selling exercise being carried out by the politicians.

The govt might not fall but we as Indians have been relegated to a corrupt nation by these feudal politicians.

This does not augur well for the volatile democracy like India.

The voting on confidence motion will begin at 6.00 P.M. India Time.

I am not against close partnership with U.S.A but at what cost our freedom,no,never.

I still have a hard time understanding what is given in exchange for what.

Not the official version, but what are the US really getting out of a deal under the terms of which they are still kept away from spying on India's military nuclear installations?

Could an insider explain?

azzayindia

American  motive to push this deal seems like immense pressure from the fortune 500 co's as India has largest consumer market base via this deal U.S.A. wants to eliminate its main competetor for fuel Iran by providing Nuclear Energy and Thus controlling the region far better. remember on question of Iran India is bit iffy due to its dependence on Iranian gas and fuel,which does not augur well for U.S.A.

good stuff:

azzayindia, darned good stuff. Thanks for your perspective. 

A quick question--you say that Shibun Soren has already been found guilty of taking bribes. But he can still serve?

azzayindia

yes their is a thing called parliametarian immunity under which they got saved he is also indited in murder case which is going on in the courts.That is India for you.moreover their a few convict M.P's who are serving the jail sentence will also vote today.

PEP

That's.............astounding, Azzay. Just.....astounding. If he's found guilty in the murder case, will the immunity protect him? How do convicts get to be M.P.s? Oh, I have so much to learn about what's going on in your area!

azzayindia

no it will not well that a totally a different story worth doing.

well how convicts get to be M.P is very good story.

The politicians not long back hired these petty goons to snatch ballot boxes when their was no electronic voting machines,suddenly they realised that what they are doing for other politicians why not do it for themselves hence the fear and Ballot box sabotage made them M.P's and now in age of EVM machines they could buy votes since the large number of voting population is hand to mouth.

Once convicted in lower courts they apply in higer courts and due to lack of evidence which could be due to their fear they go scot free and  become M.P's again and when such voting for saving the govt comes it is party tie for them they can bargain with the government to make the weak cases against them and this way they breath in largest democracy of the world INDIA.

Paschen

Similar problems do exist in Niger and Algeria though even here in Japan we had a really bad case of this sort of Politics that came to light and is now before the courts, the worth part is it went on for 20 year with out any one in the Media and Voting Populations knowing about it!

azzayindia

well most of this corruption was triggered by Big Business houses in Japan i think but In India corruption is deep rooted in the system.

Paschen

Agreed! Many Politician and Former MP"s where involved in the Japanese scandal though!

PEP

Thanks for explaining all this--and for following the developments so closely. Now it seems that CNN was doing a "sting" operation to show that bribes are routinely accepted? Did I read that right?

azzayindia

Well it was  Indian channel in association with american channel  yes you can say that.It amazes me when the sting operation should have been done on the govt they are doing it on B.J.P.I have no love for any political party but it is really bemusing.

good stuff:

Hi azzayindia, Well said.

This deal will not solve India's energy problem. We are not against having good relationship with the US but the deal must be made on equivalent term.

Azzay, I got a note from NP saying that I had contributed a photo or something to this story, and then your thank you note. But I didn't add anything to your story. Most curious.

azzayindia

that is strange i thought you had contributed a picture,i got  a similiar message that i had gs a spam well i am curious too.

Vinny

A member contacted me yesterday to ask what updates I had made to their post! I had never even read the post and none of my images or videos had been used. Does this mean my ID is being used by someone else?

Caoimhin1

No Vinny, the same has happened to me.  Whenever one of the photos or videos that you uploaded get used again the credit goes to you.  Anyone can go to the archives and use an old photo for a new story.....

Vinny

My point is Cao that none of my images or vids were used! so how did I update the post?

Johnny Summerton

Spookily I guess.

azzayindia

the ghost of marylyn monroe is around

PEP

Wow. That is weird. I've said before that sometimes I get emails about something I supposedly did, but I didn't do at all. Had nothing to do with it. How secure are our accounts?

PEP

You got a message saying you had given a GS to spam? That's weird, too.

amyjudd

Regarding the above posts about messages being sent from members saying that an 'update' has been made in their name to a story:

This is a really strange bug going around the site and please note that we are aware of it and the tech team is currently working on it. I noticed this in my own account late last week as I kept getting messages saying '________ had made updates to my story' when they hadn't. Please be assured that your accounts are not being tampered with; it's just a rather strange occurrence that hasn't been fixed yet, but hopefully will be soon.

Sorry about this; I understand it's really annoying.

This Photo Problem is getting out of hand as well as the Copying one!

On Politisite story!

PEP

Another problem: members taking some of an article and posting it in the "commentary" section in the white and then the rest of the article in the Highlight Box. Makes it look like the stuff in the white area is original when it's not. There have been numerous stories like that recently--and they've all gotten quick GS flags. Wasn't anything copied supposed to be in the Highlight box?

azzayindia

well for me highlight is not a big issue if i like the story i will gs i guess taht is my right.

but this issue of gs to a spam and false add in method have to be seriously looked into are their members who are posing as us?
