There
is a Sanjay Jha, speaking for Congress on almost all the TV news
channel for a couple of months or so. His arguments, to my mind, can at
the best be called logically illogical. To use olden days' term, his
arguments fall under the category of 'Kutark'. But, he has been so
influential that I have started keeping off myself from Times Now's
Newshour debates. Boss, there should be a limit to 'patient hearing of stupidity'. But, Mr Arnab Goswami has made him a hot cake for TV channels.
Sanjay Jha's latest argument in defence of his party and coterie colleague (and hitherto sensible) Shakeel Ahmad's comment on the birth of Indian Mujaheedin and BJP brand of communalism was so absurd that I have started thinking whether the grand old party has really become intellectually bankrupt! One of the arguments put forth by Jha in Sakee Ahmad's defence on NDTV was that if Ishrat and three people were on a mission to kill Mr Narendra Modi, it was because of latter's role in 2002 Gujarat riots. I was aghast. The reason is this:
If Modi was to be (justifiably) killed because he persecuted muslims in Gujarat, then think of the assassinations of Rajiv Gandhi, Indira Gandhi and Mahatma Gandhi. Commense sense based on Sanjay Jha's logic would tell us that Rajiv Gandhi was killed because he persecuted Tamils, Indira Gandhi was killed because she persecuted sikhs and above all Mahatma Gandhi was killed because he persecuted hindus! Friends, can I still listen to Jhaology?
