Birds of same feathers

Birds of same feathers

Things are getting pretty clear that KMSS leader Akhil Gogoi and APCC chief Anjan Dutta are birds of the same feathers that are flying together. Both are expert in shadow boxing. On 27 and 28 November, the taxpaying people of Guwahati were hijacked by both the leaders as they organized virtual walkathons under the banner of KMSS and Congress respectively. It is a different story that how come the city police commissioner allowed both the parties to hold such rallies in the heart of the city.

Pressure from top brass of the government machinery cannot be ruled out. The commuters of arterial roads of the city mely GNB road and GS road were worst sufferers. Generally big rallies are not permitted within the heart of the city as district administration has desigted Dighalipukhuri par and area adjacent to Meghdoot bhawan as places for holding protests and rallies. The secret of getting the administration nod for holding the so called padajatra is not hard to seek. Since both the leaders were targeting Prime Minister rendra Modi and BJP, the permission was just a mere formality. It needs to be reminded to both Anjan Dutta and Akhil Gogoi that rendra Modi is duly elected Prime Minister of India, the largest democracy. He is still popular among the masses. If they have any grievances against him or his policies, they should protest democratically instead of harassing the common people by blocking the streets in the busy hours. Lastly the so called messiahs of poor, Anjan Dutta and Akhil Gogoi should keep in mind that they cannot prove their popularity by undertaking street shows; instead both should contest the election to prove their popularity.

Safe resort

The two Khans mely Shahrukh Khan and Aamir Khan, the cynosure of Indian moviegoers, have ultimately felt insecure in India, which has given them me and fame, thus making them demigods. They never felt insecure when tinsel town of Mumbai (their place of livelihood) was attacked by some jihadists from across the border a few years ago. But now due to a certain person holding the highest position in the tion's government, they are feeling unsafe in their own country. Under the current circumstances of insecurity as claimed by the Khan duo, the best place for them to feel safe is POK (Pakistan occupied Kashmir). There both the superstars would feel safe and sound under the watchful eyes of the ISI. In any case, they have any problem they can contact people like Shakeel Khan, Azam Khan, Mani Shankar Aiyar, Lalu Yadav,etc to me a few.
