dr subramanian swamy on his visit to china

STATEMENT OF DR. SUBRAMANIAN SWAMY, JANATA PARTY PRESIDENT,ON CHINA AFTER HIS FOUR DAYS VISIT TO BEIJING

1. I returned yesterday from a four day visit to Beijing, China, where I had gone to address the Asian African Development Research Institute [AADRI] of the State Council of the Chinese Government on “South Asia and Sino-Indian Relations”. The State Council is the equivalent of India’s Cabinet, and AADRI is its think tank that prepares policy documents for the Chinese government.
2. I also met Mr. Ai Ping, Director General of the International Department of the Chinese Communist Party and had a detailed discussion with him on the current state of Sino-Indian relations and how it could be improved.
3. At present there is possibility that India and China may be sucked into a serious border conflict by miscalculation and self-fulfilling hype. Such a war will end in a stalemate, and damage the economies of both nations.
4. Much of the hostility to India in the Chinese media is seen in Communist Party organs such Peoples Daily and Global Times newspapers. This is claimed to be in reaction to Indian media’s “false anti-China” reporting that Chinese allege is motivated by the Indian government sources. In India much of the hostile anti-China reporting is based on events such as border incursions by China, which events used to sporadically happen earlier but did not come to media’s knowledge and was not reported. These local events, Indian media hold are directed by Chinese government.
5. Both these presumptions are wrong. Hence, the Prime Ministers of the two countries should use the “hotline” set up recently, before the Bangalore BRIC meeting, and clear the air. The two PMs should see to it that media reports do not generate a hysteria in the public, which could spiral into an armed conflict on the border by miscalculation on both sides.
6. Border incursions have been made by units of Chinese internal security armed police and not by Chinese army as reported in Indian media. Moreover, India has now moved a squadron of Sukhoi jets to Tezpur and strengthened Ladakh cantonment. Hence, a rational Chinese strategist would recognize that an armed border attack today will not be of the same result as in 1962.
7. The situation has spiraled because Indian opinion today unfortunately is dominated by the trauma of 1962 and the public perception of a repeat “Chinese betrayal” when in fact 1962 border war was the outcome of the foolishness of Prime Minister Nehru in failing to first develop defence capability before asking the army to “throw the Chinese out”. Our jawans had to fight on the icy hills with tennis shoes. To hide such truths is why the government is still refusing to provide the Hendersen-Brookes Inquiry Report under the RTI.
8. In China too, the people and Chinese media exhibit the same kind of trauma with regard to Japan’s alleged militarism, despite Japan being one of the most peace loving countries today. This is because of the savage invasion and occupation of China by Japan in 1937-45 period.
9. India has accepted [vide agreements signed by Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi in 1988, and by Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee in 2003, thus making this acceptance bi-partisan] that the border has to be negotiated and settled on the ground. At the moment there exists no legal border. Till such a border is negotiated, border crossings by China’s Tibet police and by our ITBP are inevitable. The media should report it, but the people should not get into a hysteria.
10. However, our defence preparedness for a possible Chinese attack should always be up to date, even as our foreign policy should strive for friendly relations with China. India and China will have to create a new global order as two very large and fast progressing countries. We should not allow ourselves to be derailed by micro events but be guided by macro and global perspectives in Sino-Indian relations.
11. I urge Prime Minister Manmohan Singh not to be intimidated by jingoism in the media but to boldy and frankly talk on the hotline, and discuss with visiting Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiaobao in Bangalore next week on how the two nation can moderate the current negative hype, and get back to developing a productive strategic partnership with each other, especially against the common terrorist threat arising from the Taliban ascendancy in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and well as the fragility of the global financial architecture.

"A Political trick" enacted by K Chandrasekhar Rao the

President of Telangana Rashtriya Samithi is a juicy story.

When KCR arrived in Delhi recently was keen to meet

Sonia Gandhi. And to tell her TRS willingness to rejoin UPA.

But no favourable response from 10 Janpath.

KCR hosted a Lunch to his partymen in Delhi.

Where he compared Sonia Gandhi as a Durga, Goddess

she is the real version of Ma Durga-Jesus and Allah- these

three put together is Sonia Gandhi.

KCR did not get invitation to come to 10 Janpath.

"'Recordable warning" was issued to a 1977 batch IAS officer who was till recently

held post as Additional Secretary in Udyog Bhavan by Central Vigilance Commission.

In CVC internal note to Department of Personnel stated that the said officer has

"pocketed " Rupees 20566 , which the officer received as a cash-back offer

for his flying various destinations on Government duties. Since the CVC has pasted this

on their notice board, interested parties did a mischief of making more photocopies

of this order and pasted on doors of the lift in Udyog Bhavan. None can file a defamation

case as it is CVC internal note.

Subject: Hi All

Dr.Jayachandran of the Guest Hospital, a leading urologist of Chennai in whom my brother has confidence, confirmed today that I have developed a cancer of the urinary bladder. He feels that it is only superficial and not deep, but this will have to be confirmed by a biopsy. I will be entering his hospital on the 21st. He will remove through cystoscopy the wart-like growth from the bladder and send it for biopsy. Thereafter, BCG will be injected into my bladder to immunise it. I will be discharged on the evening of the 24th or the morning of the 25th. For six weeks thereafter ---- I will be spending this period in my brother's house--- BCG will be injected into my bladder every week to prevent a recurrence of the growth. Thereafter, once a month and then once every three months. This will have to continue for the rest of my life. He has assured me that my cancer is totally curable and that I can resume normal activities and travel from around Nov.10. That is life. B. Raman

Priyanka Gandhi administered a shock treatment

to 25 employees of Rajiv Gandhi Foundation (RGF)

with a termination notice. She is keen to bring

youngsters into the programmes of RGF by the

age group between 30-35.

Priyanka Gandhi is a Trustee of the Foundation

and spends three hours each day in RGF

situated opposite of Sashtri Bhavan in Delhi.

Such surprise action was needed primarily

these employees spent with RGF more than

15 years, and who had crossed the age of 70 years.

Sonia Gandhi could not have done this sweeping

action.

Sacked employees were in re-employed in 1993,

after their retirement from Government services.

Priyanka Gandhi is keen to review each of the

remaining 40 employees of the RGF.Bring new thrust

to the RGF

Possibility of imposing ban on the Sodium Nitrate a

chemical which is now being imported as Fertiliser.

Indian Chemical Council wrote to Union Commerce Ministry

on this issue. Strong plea is from the security agencies

including Intelligence Bureau that Sodium Nitrate is being

used for explosives and being misused by the Import lobby.

These chemicals finds way to militants and terrorists.

Commerce and Fertiliser Ministries are now too scared

and quickly moving the cabinet note to ban Sodium Nitrate

import as fertiliser category. Flurry of activities in Commerce

Ministry after a long dictum form North Block

Chhatisgarh Chief Minister Dr Raman Singh has

full praise for the capacity of the Union Home Minister

P Chidambaram in handling the maoists issue without

a fanfare. Chidambaram visit to Raipur really gave a

moral booster to the personnel of para-military forces

Dr Raman Singh compliments Chidambaram and said

in two years the naxalism would be wiped out, if the same

tone and tenor continued by the Union Home Ministry.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Directions of the Prime Minister are quietly circumvented

by the Union Ministers. In his internal notings Prime Minister

said that Ministers should have Officers of Joint Secretary

"status and pay" as the Private Secretaries. Department of

Personnel rejected many requests from Union Ministers.

But without any pinch, the Union Ministers

have got appointed Private Secretaries

as Joint Secretaries in their respective Ministries.

These Joint Secretary status officers do

coordinate the personal staff and put up policy notes to

the Ministers.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Capital political circle is agog with the

speculation of inducing Jagan Mohan Reddy

son of Dr Y S Rajasekhara Reddy as Union Minister of State

with Independent Charge of Union Ministry of Shipping.

This arrangement is a part of the 'formula' being worked out.

to retain K Rosaiah as Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh

Indications in New Delhi is that GK Vasan the present Union Minister

is being tipped off to get shifted to another portfolio.This

was clearly told to GK Vasan that Jagan Mohan Reddy has

to be "adjusted". And the portfolio will be so reorganised amongst

the Congress quota. Shipping is with Congress..
