It’s been quiet sometime that I have blogged .but today’s happenings at the parliament forced me to pen down a few words. No I don’t want to remember this day as the day when the GREAT NUCLEAR DEAL brought a trust vote motion in the lower house of the parliament and how the prime minister won it with a single minded pursuit. Agreed a very impressive victory. I even don’t want to remember this day as the day when wades of cash were waved in the respected house of the largest democracy. Or how the prime minister of the country is not allowed to speak in the house. I don’t want to remember this day when all the channels featured long debates called this as the great Indian deal bazaar.
Then one would wonder what makes this day memorable for me .I shall always remember this day when a member of parliament who represents the face of young India stood up and said that I would like to speak ‘ as an Indian’.
Yes Rahul Gandhi made a very important and very conveniently forgotten point by the politicians. I would like to ask them one small question,”What are you fighting for ?and most important for whose benfit’, yours, mine or this nations.
I know Rahul Gandhi’s speech forced all of us to think but I think the the hero of the day and the most touching speech was of Mr Omar Abdulla. How loud and clear was he when he said that, ‘till the last Muslim lives in the Kashmir valley the Hindus can fearlessly walk to Amarnath and offer the prayers. I am a Muslim and I am an Indian’.He is what I say A GENUINE INDIAN

seriously eye-opening speeches.
Omar Abdullah actually made a statement that is sure to go into history- never to be forgotten.
I think, the parliament is slowly but steadily learning to make more sensical discussions and commments on the floor. Just hope that others parliamentarians learn something from these young icons
Hi,
I also liked Omar's speech on that day..the best of that day i should say particularly in contrast to Mehbooba Mufti who was seen to be fumbling for words..
But with the advantage of hindsight now, isn't it ironic that within a month of this speech of his, we saw the actual rift between the valley and Jammu with both parts of the state standing against each other and the divide clearly being demarcated on religious grounds.. Good that it is settled for now..but i considered it really ironic especially as I had the chance of watching the forceful speech of Omar live on TV
