Anger in the country has to be brought down: Rahul Gandhi


Lucknow, Jul 25 (PTI) : Citing the example of Punjab where peace was restored after a long period of militancy, Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said there was a "lot of anger" in India which should be brought down and the country should move forward by taking all sections along.

"India is a thought...youths make it, you make it. We have to include everyone and move forward," the Congress leader said in Amethi as he praised paramilitary force CPRF's efforts to restore peace in restive areas of the country.

He spoke of how a Khalistan supporter, also an MLA, joined political mainstream in Punjab after peace was restored in the once militancy-wrecked state.

Addressing a function on the occasion of foundation laying ceremony of CRPF training centre at Trishundi, the Congress Vice President said that due to peace in the presence of CRPF and "Congress, Akali giving him a place in the political system", the Khalistan supporter's anger came down and he joined political mainstream.

"There is a lot of anger in the country. It has to be brought down" as was done in Punjab, Gandhi said.
The Congress leader said that CRPF played an important role in bringing normalcy in Punjab. He regretted that only 30-40 per cent CRPF personnel get housing facility and added that jawans say that they were not afraid of fighting for the country, but of the hardships to their families.

Rahul said that jawans of this force were fighting on two fronts - "terrorists and for their family". "I want to tell Shindeji that whatever can be done for the families of the jawans, should be done," he said.
Kanchan, wife of CRPF jawan Rajiv Kumar Yadav, and Savitri Devi, wife of Vinod Kumar Yadav, who were killed in Naxal attack in Chhattisgarh in April 2010, were also honoured on the occasion.

    Unfortunately this Baba does not have the vision of what Hindustan should be. Whatever the sufferings the Indian population had today is the creation/wrong policies of the Congress and also due to the appeasement of one or the other community. He is being misguided by his own people and he simply fall pray.
    I would recall his statement about the plight of Smt. Kalavati in the Parliament which has gained him thumbing of desks by his party MP's. After a year or so what is her status. Nothing has been changed. Nothing is going to change in the very near future. The only solution to solve sufferings of the citizens to hand over the country in the hands of of true Military for atleast 10 years (not shadow military ~ there number of corruption cases)and send all these politicians to Anadaman Jail for atleast 10 years without bail or coming out of jail. Once the system is cleansed then we can look for a better Hindustan and the anger of Indian population will subside.

    India is no longer a Beehive ..but a thought .

    Poor Guy - It appears that the Bees/Queen Bee(in this case) would have stung him so hard making him think to bring in this unexplained thought.

    Also - He must be confused between "Hunger" and "Anger" - just like "Rani Ki Jhansi"

    and so are we.

    The international irk at India was at maximum because of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's government meddling with African poor nations, Eastern European and Caribbean Nations to appease Soviet Union, her support of iron curtain. The 20 plus years Indira's service to the Soviet Union at UN, internal emergency gave an indication that Indira's India was heading towards totalitarian dictatorship rule. Hundreds of fake and unworthy trade agreements between Indira's India and Soviet bloc caused lag in India's industrial and financial growth and brought pessimism among Indian citizens, especially the younger generation. Afghanistan has been India's closest friend from millenniums, Mrs. Indira Gandhi's support to Soviet invasion of Afghanistan is a historic mistake, for which India still pay heavy price. Mrs. Indira Gandhi should have cooperated with President Carter (Read Carter's biography, 3-6 pages regarding India). In 1971 war, Hon. I. H. F. Latiff was few miles away from capturing Karachi, Indira Gandhi should have supported southern Pakistan to join India as they are Indians, whereas North Pakistan (majority are refugees from Arab countries) should have merged with Iran and Iraq. Prime Minister Pundit Nehru and Prime minister Rajiv Gandhi had more balanced foreign policy, than Mrs. Indira Gandhi...

    At the national level operation blue star, at Golden Temple caused anger at International and National level. Division of nation as per languages caused more confusion along the border districts in many states and still a pending problem. Sanskrit and Hindi should have been Indian dual national languages, instead of Hindi alone as national language. Indira Gandhi toppling the duly elected State governments ruled by opposition parties, Changing the CM's in Congress ruled states, imprisonment of opposition leaders and numerous correction to Indian constitution during emergency, family rule in Congress, are but few of many other reasons for anger at Indian Congress..

    Mr. Rahul, first and foremost answer these questions?
    1. Why CWG shamed Indians?
    2. Why 2G stole Indian treasury?
    3. Why your ministers ate coal?
    4. Where did this money go? Did it go into congress party fund?
    This anger is justified because here we don’t have choice between pan and fire.
    Just mind you Congress is not immortal… Just like Karnataka … if you can’t perform just perish.
