hehe ..thanks man! to be frank, I had thought of this in the morning, even before I heard that MMS was gonna address the nation ..
After his address, I modified the article to include “Theek Hai” :D
Anyway, I have to admit though, that this article is inspired by this one – http://www.theunrealtimes.com/2012/11/17/dr-manmohan-singhs-dramatic-transformation/

1.after getting permission from ” madam soniya …… ji ” as she is addressed by all congress guys who have not got over colonial hang up..he was not addressing the nation but “MUMBLING”, that was the script forced to him..
2.he apparently is the PM of CONGRESS not of the NATION..
3.then we have the HM who has not got over his original profession … suffering from “FOOT IN MOUTH DISEASE ”
4.then we have a police commissioner .. who has the most lumpen police force compared to the so called ” hooligans” who supposedly took over the movement … ie AS per their claim… plain simple ” HE LACKS OLQ ” am sure he would not know what OLQ means… ask the nearest army officer whose basic trait is “LEAD FROM THE FRONT”. to know the abbreviation ..
5. If GOVT sincere , let them and all political parties throw out MP’s and MAS’s from their parties and fast track the trial of those who are their colleagues and have RAPE OR SEXUAL HARASSMENT cases against them.. Mr HM are you listening… and have the gumption and guts to do it… a fair challenge…

1.Yes we have one more guy in the system who curtailed his visit to US voluntarily ie what he claims despite the HM saying to the contrary … hey LG and HM coordinate before opening your gabs….
2. The LG has brought a super cop from US whose mobile number too has been given by him, he will be available 24 hours and to top it 24*7…. quite a rambo…
3. stop pulling wool over eyes … we unfortunately have basic sense and reasonable IQ…
