Now's not the time to see who (which party) is bigger, when 1000's of people are struggling to save their lives.

Sometimes, i wonder who's the PM of India!!

Can't they source choppers from their other controlled states?(Maharashtra,Karnataka etc?)
Whats the need for the opposition to offer them choppers? :shock:

Look at death toll ..Every day the CM is saying more...First day said 200 then 500 then 1000 then 5000 now its > 10k (including buried)...

Sad still media is debating about who brought chopper,degrading modi, foolish nikumuddin (nitish kumar) interviews, cricket news, dhoni history,...god bless india.

I just donated for uttarakhand...hope more ppl help.

Our 'respectable' home minister said that there will be no VIP movement except for Uttarakhand CM because it hampers the rescue operation. So i am guessing Rahul Gandhi is not a VIP but Modi is? Seriously these congress people will do politics even on a situation like this? First they refuse to provide police help during 2002 riots and now they refuse to accept help even when they so desperately need it. Maybe they don't need it sitting there in their cosy mansions but the thousands of people who are still stuck there battling for their lives definitely need it.

P.S. Still Mr Arnab Goswami last night was busy badgering Modi. I wonder where our media is going.

Although I do think Modi did the best he could to contain the 2002 violence, 2002 was a BJP era :confused:

Maybe neighboring congress governments didn't help, I wouldn't know. I didn't even know about godhra until Modi started reaching the centrestage (i.e. till 2010-11).

Actually that's what modi said in a TV interview. Digvijay singh was also present in that interview and he didn't oppose modi's claim. Instead he tried to divert the topic altogether which leads me to believe that modi was telling the truth.

Their only goal is to compensate the hour, in the name of discussion. They won't even hear the full opinion of a person. They just intervene, and asks question in between so as to make the opponent fight.

I heard this about 4-5 days back. Tried to verify it but no Media house had reported it properly. Now too, I guess only Times Now has reported it. And you'll never see a debate on this. Congress leaders will never be confronted for such shoddy act.

No its not. These choppers were provided from Gujarat state to Uttarakhand State not BJP to Congress. And these ********* are spending even more money on advertising now and how Sonia Gandhi & Manmohan Singh are saving people("Uttarakhand Nirman" or something like that) . If saving people was what they were really interested in they would have accepted the choppers and withdrawn ad campaigns and diverted saved funds to search & rescue/rehabilitation operations. They could even have released a press release saying that they were diverting their ad funds to save people and that they were thankful to the Gujarat government for their assistance. It would have given them some really good publicity and helped repair their public image.

1 chopper sounds reasonable, but 24 .....
well, read in today's newspaper (abp), center has made it clear that, the choppers for rescue op has to be arranged by uttarkhand govt itself, rest of the choppers will be provided by central govt., other state govts need not interfere.

its practically politics going on there, bjp vs congress, when the all skilled, highly trained air force pilots are having difficulty flying there, which commercial pilot will risk his/her life to go on in some highly risky op, which they had never trained for ?

Is there a rule that says you can't help the needy ? Or it is just a embarrasment evading strategy of the party.
M_di might not be able to provide 24 choppers like he said , but even if he provides some relief funds and say 2-3 choppers , wouldn't that help at all ?

That seems more like a crime/negative decision to me , unless the govt. is doing more than required to aid.
rohit32407
Jun 27, 2013 at 10:19 AM
^^ From what I know it is never enough as far as aid is concerned. If 20 choppers can do the job in 10 days then 40 can do it in probably 5 days and so on. I am just saying that why there has to be a political, religious, caste or vote-bank divide? We call it a national disaster and yet politicians make it an 'state' or 'party' affair. It doesn't even make sense to me. Why call it national disaster when you don't want the whole nation included? Even 1 chopper help should have been taken. If after that modi had tried to do politics over it then the congress would have had the full right to condemn it and trust me people would have responded well to that condemnation.

air force is already using their best men and machines. commercial pilots are simply not trained for this.
the brand new copter that crashed, had on board radar & night vision equips installed, for taking out such critical ops at himalayan mountains, it still crashed.

(if modi really offered copters, he probably also knew they wont be flying in uttrakhand. its just politics. besides, renting a copter is expensive. takes few lacs for just a single day.)

Secularism and atheism are not mutually exclusive. An atheist party can be secular and a secular party can be atheist.

They are not mutually inclusive either... A secular party does not have to be aethist and viceversa. Secularism is the idea in which all religions are deemed equal and are respected. But Aethism is the idea which does not recognize religion in the first place. How can you respect a thing which you do not believe.
Also why would any person who beleives in religion beleive in an institution that does not reognize it or respect it?!

All the choppers wont have to be used for high altitude resuce operations (doing which the army chopper chrashed)... they can be used for logistics, movement for food, transporting people and goods.. etc..in places which are much safer.
And BTW Modi has the treasury and resources to provide the help he promised. Even though it is argubly to boost his good will before elections..there is no sane reason to reject help during such a calamity.

Simple- you don't even bother with religion. Because you do not recognize it, you don't even discuss it. Secularism doesnt force you to talk about religion. Nobody can say you disrespect religion if you do not even talk about it.

Well, Secularism's basic definition is indifference to or rejection or exclusion of religion and religious considerations.

What Bhargav said was the Indian definition of secularism
Quote from Le Wiki said:
India is a secular country as per the declaration in the Preamble to the Indian Constitution. It prohibits discrimination against members of a particular religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth. The Indian notion for the term secularism is different from the French notion for the term.[1]
The word secular was inserted into the preamble by the 42nd Amendment.(1976)[2] It implies equality of all religions and religious tolerance & respect. India, therefore does not have an official state religion. Every person has the right to preach, practice and propagate any religion they choose. The government must not favour or discriminate against any religion. It must treat all religions with equal respect. All citizens, irrespective of their religious beliefs are equal in front of law
The quote above is similar to what we've been reading in civics textbooks for years
"American Secularism" does not apply here ;-)
