You have come to this forum for just these one liners.

You have 165 posts since June 2008, why the f *ck am I even wasting my time on you ?

It is a defence forum and i am primarily involved in military history,i don't usually get involved in any weapon discussion because most indo pak threads end up being inconclusive .But to see so many of my countrymen fall for this obvious fraud is disheartening.Ihave been around since 2005.I only joined in 08.

 

[twoplustwoisfour]

Can we stop making this movement about specific people and make it about ISSUES please?

 

[Spring Onion]

We'll support anyone who's fighting for a good cause, be it Baba Ramdev or be it Jana.

Being Baba or chela doesn't help much.

support in form of abuses hurled by supporters of this so called baba ?

I ask you this.

Why do you believe that Ramdev is fake? Wait, why are we discussing Ramdev in the first place.

The real issue is Congress, its corruption and above all the way they beat up the ppl last night.

Instead of focusing on Ramdev, you should focus on criticizing Congress

First time Indians here will get banned for fighting with Indians .

I find the intolerance being demonstrated here appalling. Actually quite a few of those supporting Baba Ramdev are going overboard in their comments. Anyone not agreeing with them is this, that & the next.......... Hardly a civilised way to debate. Almost taliban like in the intolerance. Not everyone has to like Baba Ramdev - I for instance don't. That is my prerogative. There is no necessity for the extreme opinion to be the only one allowed. The BJP supporters also have to realise that the government (which happens to be the Congress led UPA) was elected; which is the only constitutionally mandated method to determine the wishes of the people. In 3 years time, everyone(including Baba Ramdev) will get their chance. I'm one of those who believe that any individual cannot claim to represent the people of India until that claim has been put to a test through the constitutionally mandated process of an election. The government was well within its rights to end the protest. When faced with an externment order, the preferred method should have been to obey it ( even if temporarily) & fight it out legally. Jumping of a stage & trying to hide is not the method to be taken. Baba Ramdev must also answer why he reached & then reneged on an agreement with the government? Credibilty is an important factor in any negotiation. Once any one believes that you won't keep your word, then other methods will be followed in due course.

This situation had so much promise. Every activist/campaigner must also realise that any elected government can only be pushed so far. Baba Ramdev lost the plot when he reneged on the agreement & said that he would continue with the fast till an ordinance was issued. Pushed his luck too far. Should have stuck to his word & come back again if the government hadn't kept theirs. Anyone making this a BJP v/s congress issue has lost it already. The reason that the congress is in power is because people put them there. A pity that the anti-corruption issue is being divided like this. Anna Hazare knew when to pull the plug, Baba Ramdev did not.

Abuses? What abuses?

Kanchi seer arrested during a midnight commando action,
baba Ramdev also arrested during midnight?
Anyone remember how madani was arrested!

CONgress Govt took 1 yr to arrest kalmadi,
...3 yrs to arrest Raja.
Just 1 day to arrest Ramdev
who is fighting against corruption.

Arundhati Roy in Delhi can speak "Divide India, Attack India",
But Ramdev cannot demand to get back black money.
R we Free?

The government has converted a 'yoga-guru'
in to a Minister (Thug) overnight by government
by providing a chartered plane to evict him out of delhi?.

Digvijay singh calling Ramdev a thug
is like Manmohan Singh telling someone he lacks a spinal cord.

President must come to act now.
UPA Govt should be dissolved.
Election to be announced.

Arundhuti roy is another useless attention seeker.Don't bring her into this.
Elections is a fair way to deal with corruption.

So you recommend that the people wait for 5 years to let the current ruling tugs to do as my damage to the society. This is the reason that the people are empowered with IMPEACHING the government via protest and what you do suppress the protest by force.
Congress is digging its own grave by actions like this one

The innocents were supporters of Ramdev, right?

Fallout of midnight crackdown: Anna to fast again on June 8

NEW DELHI: To protest the midnight crackdown on Ramdev and thousands of his supporters forcibly shutting their hunger strike, Anna Hazare said he will go on hunger strike again on June 8 at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi.

Voicing his concern over the midnight crackdown, Anna said he and other members of Lokpal drafting panel will boycott June 6 meeting with government. He also warned the government that if it does not take a lesson, a bigger agitation will be launched.

Speaking at a press conference in New Delhi this evening, Hazare said the midnight swoop is against the basic tenets of democracy. The Prime Minister Manmohan Singh must answer to the people of this country, he said.

Meanwhile, Anna said that the government is not serious about drafting an effective Lokpal Bill. The five civil society members of the Lokpal Bill drafting committee have decided to boycott the meeting of the panel on Monday in New Delhi.

The decision to boycott the meeting comes just a few hours after the crackdown by Delhi Police on Baba Ramdev and his supporters, who were protesting against corruption and the issue of black money, at Delhi's Ramlila Ground on the intervening night of June 4-5.

Several civil society members and social activists have strongly condemned the crackdown on Ramdev and his supporters and their forceful eviction. Veteran Gandhian and Lokpal Bill drafting committee member Anna Hazare, whose four-day long fast in April against corruption forced the United Progressive Alliance ( UPA) Government to form the panel, called it an undemocratic action.

"What the government has done is a blot on democracy. There was no need for the Government to supress this movement and attack those protesting at midnight. It was not right to lathicharge the people at midnight Small children and women were brutally assaulted. The entire country should stand up as one and protest against this brutal and inhuman action," said Hazare.

Atleast 100 ppl including women were beaten up.

Many of them are in ICU.

Now what do you guys say abt this?

Yeah. I'm hoping Baba shifts his protest to Delhi's borders. Wouldn't mind taking a few days off in this heat...

Not necessary that you have to criticise the Congress as some sort of a membership acceptance ritual. The Congress is there because it was voted in, the only way it can be removed is when it is voted out. Corruption is not just a congress phenomenon. The BJP is plenty corrupt, ask anyone in Karnataka. Once you make it a diatribe against your pet peeve (congress, Sonia Gandhi, Rahul, Digvijay...etc), you reduce the debate to a farce. The BJP was in power for nearly 6 years, why wasn't a Lok pal bill introduced, why wasn't the black money brought back after calling it national property or whatever..? Silly to make this a BJP v/s congress issue. You are welcome to criticise the congress or whoever you choose, it is equally the prerogative of others to make their own choices.
