Is the proposed ‘impending action’ against Islamic hate-monger Zakir Naik – a diversionary tactic to drag attention away from the current anger of the public against the demonetisation?
The answer: Probably, yes.
What purpose would the diversion serve?
Answer: It would succeed in attracting people’s attention towards an inbuilt hatred against a faith called Islam. Its basic tenets have nothing in common with terrorism. But, persons like Zakir Naik [better suggestion for a name – Shaatir Naalaayak – meaning clever scoundrel] besmirch the reputation of Prophet Muhammad [Peace Be Unto Him].
Of course, the exercise would drag the angst and anger of the people of India that is Bharat away from the demonetisation travails.
How sure can one be about this tactic working?
India’s financial capital Mumbai is witnessing the “Global Citizen Concert.”
The concert’s syndication is handled by one Shiv Khemka, a notorious arms dealer with a shady past with all sorts of connections with Russia and Vladimir Putin.
Shiv Khemka is more Russian than Indian, one would be led to believe by reading a short profile on the group in Business Today:
“The disinvestment process is what drew us more to India,” says Shiv Vikram Khemka, Executive Director. “’We have a 20-30 year perspective for India.”
The Khemkas fancy their chances because of the success they’ve met with in the disinvestment process in Russia: Out of 35 bids, they succeeded in 27. The Khemkas aren’t revealing the PSUs they’re targeting, preferring to only identify the sector they’ve identified: oil and energy.
Shiv Khemka is an open supporter of Arun Jaitley.
His tweet in September 2016 [reproduced verbatim below] clearly shows where his loyalties lie: Swamy’s statement against FM @arunjaitley and about tax laws is totally irresponsible.
Economic Times stated that while Russian Helicopters (RH) is in talks with a handful of possible Indian partners, the lead contender happens to be the Gurgaon-based Sun Group, reported a website in May 2015. Operative excerpt:
As per insiders, the group may get a significant share of the deal, which might cross a whooping amount of $700 million. RH is likely to produce at least 200 choppers in India. Vice-Chairman and founder of Sun Group Shiv Vikram Khemka has been a non-executive director on the board of RH since 2011 and has already set up a helicopter division. He is likely to be involved in the ‘Make in India’ project.
While the Sun Group did not respond to a detailed questionnaire sent by ET, company officials said things were at a preliminary stage and it was too early to comment.
But according to sources, Sun Group was also an offset partner for RH in a previous competition to supply light choppers to the army, a process which was cancelled by the government last year.
The financial capital will also soon forget another little thing it ought not to – the dreaded date called 26/11.
An excerpt from the relevant report in The Indian Express dated November 19 2016 told the bitter truth:
The concert Global Citizen is taking place just before the eighth anniversary of 26/11 Mumbai attacks and speaks volumes about the spirit of Mumbai — the show must go on.
The 26/11 show’s villains are still in Mumbai, enjoying life, cocking a snook at the law and left untouched by the cops – despite their being up to their ears in black money and involved in anti-national activities of the worst kind!
Here are links exposing shady sides of the ongoing show:

The irony is best expressed in the song penned by the immortal Hindi lyricist Shailendra for the 1962 Devanand starrer Asli Naqli [True-Fake].
Yesterday’s wealth, today’s joy,
The courts of the rich
And my impoverished alleys
You should be asking me
As to which one is true
And which is the fake!
Breaking relationships
Traditions
I have arrived amidst those with kind hearts
I can tell you there is no strength in the rich
The world of pelf didn’t care for me
The globe’s poor showered love on me
I sat on my imaginary palace’s throne
Sighting an Utopian global peace
Yet
Yesterday’s wealth, today’s joy
The courts of the rich
And my impoverished alleys
You should be asking me
As to which one is true
And which is the fake!
India’s paid press will surely make merry.
The evidence from the recent past is too fresh in the memory!
