Shashi Tharoor insults national anthem  

 
Congress Lok Sabha candidate from Thiruvananthapuram and former UN diplomat Shashi Tharoor faced legal trouble as a court in Kochi on Monday, found prima facie evidence against him for making a ‘grossly inappropriate gesture’ in a case accusing him of insulting national anthem.

Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Cherian K Kuriakose said there is prima facie ground to proceed against Tharoor on a complaint, alleging that he had committed offences under Section 3 of Prevention of Insult to National Honour Act, 1977, which prohibits desecration or insult to the national anthem.

The judge, in his order, said Tharoor's reported request to follow the US style of placing the right palm over the heart was prima facie in defiance to the above imperative official instructions imparted to the nation, which should be taken as a "grossly inappropriate gesture" on the part of the accused.

In his complaint, Joy Kaitharath alleged that Tharoor, after delivering the Hormis memorial lecture here in December last year, interrupted the national anthem, urging the audience to place the palm over the heart as people do in US instead of the Indian practice of standing in attention.

The court issued notice to Tharoor to appear before it on April 18 after examining three witnesses.

It said the evidence given by the witnesses would prima facie give the indication that the above argument carries weight, and added that Tharoor's presence was necessary to resolve the question over whether a charge could be framed against him.
 

 

 Real Reason behind this thamasha!
Tharoor doesn't know ABC of the National Anthem!

Tharoor had interrupted the singing of the national anthem during a function organised by the Federal Bank in memory of its founder late K.P. Hormis in Le Meridian Hotel at Kochi Dec 16, 2008. Tharoor also directed the audience to stand the way people do in the US while singing the anthem “Star Spangled Banner”, with right palm placed on the heart. 

Why did Tharoor ask people to do so? Why didn't anyone on the podium try to correct him? Anyone who had lived in Kerala or India, should know that one has to stand in the "attention" posture while singing or hearing the national anthem. This is done in primary schools (which everyone should remmber)! Olden days, anthem was played at the end of the movie in a cinema talkies. Though many walked out, several people stood for the anthem and used to show respect.

 Shashi Tharoor was born in London in 1956.  And had a very good carrier at the UN.  He had an excellent eductaional career in Calcutta and Boston. He has spent 29 years at the United Nations.

"Diplomatic Indian"

Just as his career, his Indian-ness too is diplomatic. He needed it when he stood for the post UN Secretary General. He needed it when he had to represent a country. He rightly needed it when  he had to identify with a cultural heritage. He needed it to write books on India and related to India. he has written books on India and even Kerala. Many of them git awards. But the man doesn't know even how to stand for the National Anthem! Hasn't he attended any function at Indian Consulate in New York?

In 1977, at age 21, he married Tilottama Mukherji from Kolkata, India, a journalist and scholar, from whom he is now divorced. He is the father of twin sons, Ishaan and Kanishk, who have recently graduated from Yale. One of the twins, Ishaan lives in Hong Kong and works for Time magazine and the other brother, Kanishk, is a resident of London working for openDemocracy. In 2007 he married Christa Giles, a Canadian who is Deputy Secretary of the United Nations Disarmament Commission.

Mr Sharoor is coming to Kerala and Trivandrum only for joining the Cabinet in New Delhi. His eyes are on the Ministry of External Affairs. A person who has ignored India and is more "American" than "Indian" even in singing the National Anthem is a dangerous candidate. One should not support people just because his parents are from Kerala. We appreciate the fact that Mr Tharoor does speak some Malayalam..well and good. Do his sons have Indian citizenship? Can they speak Malayalam or any Indian language. All these are important!

 

In 1978, Tharoor began working for the United Nations, serving with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, whose Singapore office he headed during the “boat people” crisis. He began as a senior official at the United Nations headquarters in New York in 1989, where, until late 1996, he was responsible for peacekeeping operations in the former Yugoslavia. Tharoor's was an exceptional UN career, rising as he did from the P-2 level to the highest possible rank of Under-Secretary-General in a mere 23 years.

But none of his can hide his lack of "real" knoweldge of India and our National Anthem.  This the reality in spite of the fact he has lectured widely on India. His knowledge of India is "bookish" and academic. It is good enough to fool especially pseudo intellectuals in India and the West. But now with this incident he has been exposed thorougly!
 

 

We are blacklisting Mr Tharoor immediately!  He has been too long in the United Nations and the United States and is behaving like a puppet of the US system. Mr Tharoor has been controlled by cult / religious mafia organizations like Sai Baba! It is even possible he is a candidate of the US based mafias which are controlling and manipulating the Indian Godmen. CIA too is involved in the picture.
