The true  Baba(?) Ramdev is revealed

Note that he wants 11,000 Youth of the Country to take to arms not for the cause against Corruption, but to fight if his followers are intimidated by the Government.

It is also of interest to know that his call to arms came afer Home Minister P.Chidambaram hinted at action against Ramdav for his Trust’s illegal activities and his aides criminal connections.

True to form ,Ramdev clarified his ‘call to arms’.

Please read my clogs on Ramdev filed under ‘Corruption’.

The BJP which has been rubbing its hands in glee to the extent of an elderly Sushma Swaraj dancing with gay abandon in Rajghat-what does it have it to say?

Battered and bruised in the recently concluded Elections, with a President whom only the top few of the BJP know, and short of any issue to take on the imagination of the voters, the BJP seems to have caught the tiger by its tail.

Coming to Ramdev and Anna Hazare,while Ramdev goes on fast for a fixed time ,Anna Hazare fasts for a day(which is good-wish it had been an Ekadasi)and sets a date  to go on fast again.

If these people are really serious they must fast like Gandhiji at a stretch till their goal,if there is any, is achieved.

While Anna Hazare is naive and gullible with no political skills to manage a Movement,Ramdev is a Criminal,hiding behind the cloak of Yoga.

Use of Fasting as an instrument of protest might lose its potency because of its misuse .

Asked about Ramdev’s announcement that he would set up an 11,000-strong force to deal with police and anti-social elements attempting to disrupt his movement, Chidambaram said this showed his “true colours and true intention”. “Let him do that, the law will deal with that,” he asserted during a press conference just after giving an interview where he hit out at the yoga guru.

However, he declined to answer questions on allegations of financial irregularities against Ramdevand his close aide Balkrishna saying, “There will be an opportunity to answer these questions in future.” …..

New Delhi:  After Baba Ramdev‘s remark that he will raise an army of 11.000 men and women who will be trained to attack if action is taken against them was declared “anti-national” by the government, the yoga teacher’s spokesperson, S K Tijarawala, issued a statement clarifying the arms call. Released late on Wednesday night, the statement said Baba Ramdev did not mean training of guns or bombs and the intention is not to take law in their hands.
