Sonia Gandhi is the malkin



You seem to have a serious leadership crisis with too many
prime ministerial candidates.
This is a media creation. We are a democratic party with many
leaders who have the potential to become prime minister.
That's why there's so much talk about a leadership crisis.
Other parties are family-run companies. Mulayam Singh's party
is a party of father-son-bahu-brother. Mayawati is the sole
proprietor of a wholesale store. Sonia Gandhi is the malkin
of a mother-son party. Congressmen are like servants. If
Madam tells them to sit, they sit. If she tells them to
stand, they stand. Can you call these 'political parties'?
Isn't it important to have one face to lead the party in the
next polls?
We had two big leaders, Atalji and Advaniji. No one can match
them. After them, we have many leaders who are of the same
seniority.
Are you implying that the BJP may not have a PM candidate
this time?
See, there are some films that are multi-starrers and yet
they become hits. Like Sholay. It had Amitabh Bachchan,
Dharmendra, Sanjeev Kumar and two heroines and was a runaway
success. So it's not necessary for a party to project one
face.
Your party workers seem to prefer Narendra Modi.
We have five or six persons who can lead the party into the
elections: Advaniji, Arun Jaitley, Sushma Swaraj, Narendra
Modi, Rajnath Singh, Murli Manohar Joshi. Let us contest the
elections and see how many seats we get. Then our
parliamentary board will take a decision.
Will the BJP support the government on FDI in pension and
insurance?

land and for acquiring joint development rights to PDP.
Herein after, all the three SPVs will become the investee
company," said a CCI order. Embassy Golf link is a 5-million

Business Park is a 100-acre integrated mixed-use development
business park, which has a developable area of 18.29 million
sq ft.

designated for a special economic zone. Some of Embassy's big
tenants at its commercial properties in Bangalore and Pune
include IBM, Capgemini, Mercedes Benz, Atos Origin and
Accenture. "Blackstone and Embassy will jointly control and
manage the entity in which the fund has invested. The deal
has very complicated structure with multiple cross-holdings.
Embassy will be responsible for completion of the project,"
the person said.

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi denounced elections in Iraq

gucci shoes for men
Today, radical Islamists are the last holdout against these powerful forces of modernity. For Sayyid Qutb, one of the intellectual fathers of Al Qaeda, true Islam could be salvaged only by warring against the modern world on all fronts. He wanted to "take apart the entire political and philosophical structure of modernity and return Islam to its unpolluted origins." A very different kind of Muslim leader, Ayatollah Khomeini, clearly identified modernity with the Enlightenment and rejected both. "Yes, we are reactionaries, " he told his opponents, "and you are enlightened intellectuals: You intellectuals do not want us to go back 1,400 years."
These most radical Islamists, along with Osama bin Laden, also reject that great product of the Enlightenment and modernity: democracy. Abu Musab al-Zarqawi denounced elections in Iraq on the grounds that "the legislator who must be obeyed in a democracy is man, and not God." Democratic elections were "the very essence of heresy and polytheism and error," for they made "the weak, ignorant man God's partner in His most central divine prerogative--namely, ruling and legislating." As Bernard Lewis has written, the aim of Islamic revolution in Iran and elsewhere has been to "sweep away all the alien and infidel accretions that had been imposed on the Muslim lands and peoples in the era of alien dominance and influence and to restore the true and divinely given Islamic order." One of those "infidel accretions" is democracy. The fundamentalists want to take the Islamic world back to where it was before the Christian West, liberalism, and modernity polluted what they regard as pure Islam.
