Who wants a Shabana certificate!



So, Shabana Azmi does not want to pass Mr Narendra Modi as a Prime Ministerial candidate. 

She gave her usual eccentric and forensic point of view that he has blood on his hand.  She even quoted an absurd reasoning that since he is still denied US visa, he cannot be a Prime Minister for India.  With that, she has joined the select band of US agents in India, whose loyalties belong partially in Osama-land and then in Obama-land.  

Shabana Azmi and  her husband Javed Akhtar appear to think of the country as some kind of talent contest on prime time television, where they often sit as judges and pass remarks.  They have their own strange sense of judgement and they take their seats in the gallery far too seriously.  And being true to their allegiance to Pakistan and Yankeestan, they always hide behind the name Godhra, even after the Supreme Court of India has cleared the matter. Javed Akhtar is a Trustee of the infamous 'Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP) and Sabrang Trust run by Teesta Setalwad.   CJP and Sabrang Trust goes with a begging bowl to foreign countries  and  collects donations by showing its own country in poor light.   They bleed India from outside its soils and eat away its integrity from inside in a combined 'leach and termite' effect.  Denying India the benefit of development by worming through its poor intestine is their pastime.  So, they search for blood even where there is none.  For the eyes that are bloodshot, every hand appears to have been dipped in the red.

It is strange that this famous pair does not raise its voice when Akbaruddin Owaisi wages war against the country through his inflammatory speeches, when M.F. Hussain paints an Indian goddess in nude to humiliate millions of Indians or when the Pakistani troops in J&K hack the head of an Indian soldier and throw away his body for the vultures to eat.  

And what is Shabana's formula for a person to be a Prime Minister?  Perhaps, he should have a US visa, should ensure that she gets another nomination to Rajya Sabha and should not come from Gujarat.  She neither cares for development of this country nor for people's voice.  It is for her to judge, after all - since her family has this experience of judging on prime time television.

Javed spins stories and Shaban acts.  For them, the nation is a theater. But it is different that people hardly take their views seriously.
