The days of aggressive journalism may have begun in India in the last decade of the last century is my guess. One woman journalist who had come to interview me suddenly saw an important politician coming to meet without any previous intimation and reacting a little awkwardly when he saw a woman journalist with her cameraman.
The woman journalist saw the politician, saw him leave immediately on a well anticipated excuse avoiding her but she instructed her cameraman to shoot him leaving my house. Instead of asking what she had told me she would interview me for, started me asking me about the future of that politician. I had refused to answer her question. She persisted aggressively. I told her that her trick of aggressive journalism would not work me as I knew a good deal about journalism and could teach her journalism.
It pricked her ego when I gave some background about myself and how as a son of a famous journalist of the pre independence era, I had watched developments in Indian journalism from the ideal and missionary era to mercenary one with press barons springing up. It was called jute press because Jawaharlal Nehru called Indian press jute press as it was owned by jute barons. Now it is much more than a mere jute press with so many adventurous industrialists and foreign investors influencing India’s television channels which give us the version of events that suit them.
I have hinted in my previous piece about the ticklish problems of India and Pakistan. In Pakistan former prime minister “Yousuf Raza Gilani has the sought assistance of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) for the recovery of his son, Ali Haider Gilani.” An injured Imran Khan is lying on his hospital bed while the bloodiest election campaign has come to an end and tomorrow they will cast their votes in Pakistan as I write this (9 pm of May 10).
Some women anchors of some television channels are as though shooting bullets through their mouth at some cabinet ministers, particularly Ashwini Kumar and Pawan Bansal with the latter resigning or “sacked” as a channel is claiming because it has “exposed” the railgate , first among other channels. And it is claiming that Ashwini has to go now and some politicians are joining them and claiming the resignation of the prime minister next which does not appear unlikely looking at the present configuration of planets.
There was an eclipse last night though not visible in India. But a five planet jamboree is frightening always.
See the closeness of the degrees of planets of the horoscope. Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars and Ketu all above twenty degrees in Mesha and Saturn and Rahu in the seventh house from it, is the confusing jumble of planets. From the lagna, the fifth lord Sun is afflicted badly while the tenth lord Saturn is aspected by Mars also the eighth lord of a change never without that jolt which Mars is known for. In such a situation the demand for the resignation of even the prime minister, Manmohan Singh gains velocity and justifiable ground. Astrologically such ominous result can be feared is what one can say.
From the Meena lagna horoscope of the Congress party all this is happening in the two eight axis both from the lagna and Moon. BJP. aggressive even after losing Karnataka in a most humiliating way in the state elections, is on the offensive as this happening in five eleven axis from its lagna and six twelve from its wobbly Moon.
Confused Congress Party
In my previous piece I had said about the Congress party “Congress Party Jupiter Saturn Rahu from 15 February 2013 to 4 July 2013. Notice the degrees of the lagna and Ketu and the degrees of Moon and Rahu in this horoscope. It is a combination for insanity.In an individual’s horoscope when you see a debilitated fifth lord aspected by malefics you as astrologer know why you must avoid him. A similar situation is present here in a way.”
The Supreme Court and the CBI
The other astrological inference of mine that for the May soorya veedhi was “Will the Supreme Court force the government to come out with a legislation to make the CBI independent? Battered by the CAG, will the government feel happy to have an independent CBI to get shattered?” The Supreme Court has said, almost threatening the government, that if the independence of the CBI is not ensured by the government, it would intervene and ensure it.
What next ?
An earthquake is a certainty but I have not worked on the chakra to find out its direction. An epidemic is predicted for this Hindu New Year and a dreadful political event which can be bloody is feared ofcourse.
Breaking News
Just as I was writing this came this news.
The Times of India
UPA's Black Friday: Ashwani Kumar, Pawan Bansal resign
TNN | May 10, 2013, 09.16 PM IST
NEW DELHI: In a day of high drama, law minister Ashwani Kumar resigned on Friday following the resignation of railway minister Pawan Kumar Bansal. Ashwani Kumar was under fire from the opposition after the Supreme Court came down heavily on the CBI for allowing the law ministry to vet the draft of CBI probe report on Coalgate. Earlier in the evening, a beleaguered railway minister Pawan Kumar Bansal had resigned from his post. This comes in the wake of a meeting between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi.”
Again what next
The woman anchors in some television channels who five decades ago would have been cooking food at home are busy shooting bullets at these Congress leaders who could not even enjoy their euphoria of election victory in Karnataka. The prime minister next ? Let us keep our fingers crossed.
