Pradhan Committee report is coming

Media is going berserk. Yup, I still in the sports page and I am still with my anti- media ramblings. Its not that i really hate the media or something(I owe a lot to media, especially the newspapers). But what they are doing right now is simply absurd.

Yesterday, Avantika Singh on Headlines Today said , when Sachin, Rahul, Saurav and Laxman have all been role models, the current Indian captain is 'arrogance personified'. Many media houses took pot shot at the Indian team. I agree that team did not do well, may be they did not try hard enough and all. But that does not give you the right to settle scores. The more these media houses are gonna go after the team, the more easily the fans will forgive the team. Well, who gives a damn when u can make a quick dime. right?


Anyway, the more important topic is the Pradhan Committee report on Mumbai terror attacks. It's being alleged from various quarters that The Mumbai Police Commisioner, was transferred because of some text against him in the report. Well, if its because of the text, then why is he being given a promotion transfer? Well need to kick him out. Also, what about the others. Why only the police is being investigated and why the political establishment is not under the scanner? I would like to see some text on political and bureaucratic establishment too on the report.

But more important information(that i felt) was that The ATS chief Hemant Karkare was lying on the floor near cama hospital, very close to the police quarters for almost half an hour. May be he could have been saved? Already, Mr. Kamte's wife has alleged that there are many things that have gone wrong and that she should be heard. Also, the Committee's purview is only limited to what happened that night and suggestions, but what about what has happened after that night? Does the Committee have the right to investigate how the Police , bureaucracy and the political establishments have changed themselves since 26 11 2008 ?

All I can say is that , I am eagerly waiting to see whats on the report when its tabled in the Maharashtra Assembly later this week.

Also, It will be great dishonor to our brave boys if we don't learn from our past mistakes. The biggest in my personal opinion.

I hope another 26 11 2008 never happens.
