What have been the most embarrassing and shameful appointments in India?
There is no dearth of embarassing and shameful appointments in new-age India. But none takes the cake as much as this lady -

Yes. She is the (now ex-) President of India - Ms. Pratibha Patil.

Appointed to the highest office of the largest democracy in the world, the lady did not just make a fool of the country in India and abroad, but also made best of tax-payer's money by spending a whopping Rs. 222 crores (INR 2.22 Billion) only on her foreign trips during her tenure of 5 years (22 countries, 4 continents). Her last trip to South Africa and Seychelles (really..??) cost Rs. 18.08 crores (INR 180.8 Million) by itself with one day hotel stays costing as much as Rs. 78 lakhs in some cases.

And, all these trips were approved by the PM's office deeming as 'necessary for bilateral relations' with these countries. Seychelles, really again..??

Interesting - DESERVE TO BE CIRCULATED WIDELY . Recently, India's most well-known film script-writer Salim Khan (actor Salmaan Khan's father) has said to a senior journalist in an interview: "Does anyone remember who the chief minister of Maharashtra was during the Mumbai riots which were no less deadly than the Gujarat riots of 2002? Does anyone recall the name of the chief minister of UP during Malliana and Meerut riots or that of the Bihar CM when the Bhagalpur or Jamshedpur riots under Congress regimes took place? Do we hear names of earlier chief ministers of Gujarat under whose charge, hundreds of riots took place in post-Independence India? Does anyone remember who was in-charge of Delhi's security when the 1984 massacre of Sikhs took place in the capital of India? How come Narendra Modi has been singled out as the Devil Incarnate as if he personally carried out all the killings during the riots of 2002?" No speck of doubt about what Salim Khan has said. When one says Gujarat's agriculture growth is 10-11% since whole last decade The other says 2002 Riots! When one says he made the Asia's biggest solar plant, The other says 2002 Riots! When one says Gujarat is the only state in the whole of India to provide 24*7 and 365 days electricity to almost all of its 18,000 villages, The other says 2002 Riots! When one says - World Bank's statement of 2011 said, Gujarat roads are equivalent to international standards, The other says 2002 Riots! When one says Gujarat is the first State in country to have "high speed wireless Broadband service in its all 18,000 villages, The other says 2002 Riots! When one says Forbes Magazine rated Ahmadabad as the fastest growing city in India and 3rd in the world, The other says 2002 Riots! When one says Gujarat Tourism is growing faster than ever before, The other says 2002 Riots! When one says according to central govt's Labour Bureau's report, Gujarat has the lowest unemployment rate in country, The other says 2002 Riots! When Narendra Modi is being chosen as the best current Indian leader in almost all surveys & polls again and again The other says 2002 Riots! When one says 2003-2013 are the only 10 straight years in Gujarat history which are totally riot-free, The other STILL says 2002 Riots! But when we remind them about riots which occurred during Congress and in Communist Party rule : 1947 Bengal....5,000 to 10,000 dead ...CONGRESS RULE. 1967 Ranchi....200 DEAD..........CONGRESS RULE. 1969 Ahmedabad...512 DEAD........CONGRESS RULE. 1970 Bhiwandi....80 DEAD.............CONGRESS RULE. 1979 Jamshedpur..125 DEAD......CPIM RULE (COMMUNIST PARTY) 1980 Moradabad...2,000 DEAD...CONGRESS RULE. 1983 Nellie Assam.....5,000 DEAD...CONGRESS RULE. 1984 anti-Sikh Delhi...2,733 DEAD...CONGRESS RULE 1984 Bhiwandi....146 DEAD....CONGRESS RULE 1985 Gujarat.....300 DEAD..CONGRESS RULE 1986 Ahmedabad......59 DEAD.....CONGRESS RULE 1987 Meerut....81 DEAD...CONGRESS RULE 1989 Bhagalpur......1,070 DEAD......CONGRESS RULE 1990 Hyderabad......300 PLUS DEAD....CONGRESS RULE 1992 Mumbai....900 TO 2000 DEAD....CONGRESS RULE 1992 Aligarh....176 DEAD.....CONGRESS RULE 1992 Surat.......175 DEAD.....CONGRESS RULE The youth of India says:............

I fully appreciate the views of Mr. Kapil. But how many can accept the truth. Generally one is tempted by cheap attractions of west. Youth has to come out and be bold to take positive action for protecting our democracy and sovereignty. more
