Comments on: Was Rahul Gandhi really arrested at Boston in 2001? http://satyameva-jayate.org/2007/11/15/rahul-gandhi-boston-2001/ Dedicated to "Bharat" and "Dharma" Sat, 25 May 2013 12:04:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: B Shantanu http://satyameva-jayate.org/2007/11/15/rahul-gandhi-boston-2001/comment-page-2/#comment-394765 B Shantanu Fri, 13 Apr 2012 12:05:08 +0000 http://satyameva-jayate.org/2007/11/15/rahul-gandhi-boston-2001/#comment-394765 Pl read my comments at #49 re. the role of Sh Brajesh Mishra. This piece by Dr N Rajaram seems to confirm Dr Swamy's assertion: <a href="http://folks.co.in/blog/2012/04/09/coup-that-was-not-a-coup-army-chief-row-2/" rel="nofollow">‘COUP’ THAT WAS NOT A COUP: ARMY CHIEF ROW 2</a>, from which this excerpt: <i>And who is this Brajesh Mishra who called V.K. Singh the “worst army chief in history” and demanded that he be sent on forced leave? Is he a military expert? Hardly, he was the National Security Advisor in the NDA Government where he had a most undistinguished record. Mr. Kashyap makes the following interesting observation: “If the intent was to ensure the immediate sack of Gen Singh – to augment a previous demand by the NDA’s national security adviser Brajesh Mishra who inexplicably received a Padma Vibhushan from the UPA, allegedly for reasons of proximity to its reigning monarch – Gupta should have paused before leaping without looking.” So here is the clue— Brajesh Mishra is close to the dynasty though he served in the NDA. It may be noted that his daughter Jyotsna is married to an Italian and lives in Italy. But more significantly, as Prime Minister Vajpayee’s secretary during the NDA regime, Mishra rescued Rahul Gandhi when he was detained in the Boston Logan Airport by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Authority (or the FBI) for carrying a huge amount of unaccounted cash—more than $200,000—in his briefcase. (U.S. law limits the cash that can be carried to $10,000.) This was reported in The Hindu on September 30, 2001. So that was what earned a Padma Vibhusan for Brajesh Mishra. Padma Vibhushan is a very high civilian award. As a basis for comparison here are two awardees— Field Marshal Manekshaw and nuclear physicist Dr. Raja Ramanna.

Look at who was the President that gave the award to Brajesh Mishra.</i> *** From once upon a time, when such headlines were possible: "Was Rahul Gandhi detained by FBI?" http://j.mp/ICUJWZ Mark it Pl read my comments at #49 re. the role of Sh Brajesh Mishra.

Rahul Gandhi is a man who doesnt deserve even a mention on such a blog about India's future. Rahul baba is a joke who is called a youth leader even at 40! I am sorry, but what’s the point here?

Rahul Gandhi is a man who doesnt deserve even a mention on such a blog about India’s future.
