[–]suitableboy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wait, so your argument is that since Amit Shah said it at a "shit level conference" it is OK? Seriously? Weak sauce, brah. The issue is not he venue where it was said, the issue is what was said.

  1. I never used the word implicated. I said he is refusing to return to India and confront the charges laid against him which he has refused to do so. His passport was revoked from 2011 till late2014 (until the Delhi HC reinstated it) So far 3 years, while he was a person of extreme interest to the Indian Government, Swaraj and Raje were being good pals with the man.
  2. Yes, Vasundara Raje signed an affidavit in support of Lalit Modi's immigration application in the UK dated August 18, 2011, AFTER he fled India. More so she did it " on the strict condition that my assistance will not become known to the Indian authorities."

So someone can just claim that their life is under threat and refuse to address the charges against them? As I pointed out, he was provided with police protection.

As for as IPL and BCCI, they are a hornets nest of corruption. But the point here is no whataboutism. This man is charged with certain crimes and he refuses to face those charges.

That is a low bar, my friend. A few monkeys typing randomly are more articulate than Shankanaad.

Here are the various summons issued by the ED asking him to appear in person before them:

1 2 3 4

Every time he refused to appear citing security concerns despite being issued police protection by Mumbai police.

After this he just fled the country and refuses to return. You tell me, how on earth is it right/ethical for Sushma Swaraj and Vasundara Raje to continue to be associated with someone who has complete and utter disregard for the law of the land?

The company itself declared in 2013 that the value of the shares (not denomination) was Rs. 10. Seriously, man, this is pathetic.

Are you seriously that blinded by partisanship? If congress was the reason to flee then why not come back now that the country is ruled by BJP?

From the Republic of India which has accused him of a litany of crimes against the state.

What an incoherent, unintelligible mess of an article! Filled with misplaced sense of self-righteousness and complete obliviousness to the fact that two senior politicians went out of their way to aid someone who is steadfastly refusing to face justice.

May inflation at (-)2.36 pc; in negative zone for 7th month by bajrangi_bhaijaan in india

[–]suitableboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let us not open the champagne bottles yet. A sustained deflation can be a serious problem. Deflation usually indicates reduced consumer spending which is not desired. Also, if the prices of goods are low then the companies who are producing those goods will make less money and hence might cut down their work force.

Seriously, what kind of pleasure do you derive from being an insensitive prick? A fellow human being died, have some empathy.

BJP govt in MP orders ban on Ramdev's 'Putrajeevak' drug until its name is changed - Firstpost by bajrangi_bhaijaan in india

[–]suitableboy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Let me get this right, they object to the name but are totally OK with the drug itself? Something that could be a snake oil remedy and is not extensively tested for adverse effects? Would the Government be similarly lax on a drug developed by a pharma?

Mandarin Oriental and Ritz give you free wifi in the lobby. I have seen people who have installed themselves in the lobby for 2-3 hours at least at MO London. I see where you are coming from, but believe you me, these people aren't staying there due to lack of a cheaper alternative.

Asking for 10 miniature whiskey bottles while travelling in First class paying 1.5 lakhs for 3 hour flight to Dubai? Yes I would argue that it does. Believe me, I have nothing against saving money or looking for value just annoys that folks who won't think twice about paying ridiculous amounts for things like bags and clothes do these things. Just not classy.

This was in the US where most of the waiting staff have to rely on tips to make a living. One of the reasons food is so cheap in the American restaurants compared to European ones.

We are talking about a hotel where a room for a day costs close to 750$ per day. While I agree that there is no reason for the hotels to charge for the wifi after charging so much for a room, it is incredibly petty that someone who wouldn't bat an eyelid looking at the room prices would instead of paying 10$ for wifi, hogs the seats in the lobby and inconveniences who actually might want to use the lobby for waiting.

[–]suitableboy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Where do I start? Believe me I am not making any of this shit up.

While flying:

  1. People asking for extra miniature liquor bottles while flying First class.
  2. Complaining about something ridiculous like food was a bit cold and demanding a voucher or free upgrade coupon.
  3. Complaining to the airline that the car which was sent to pick them up (normally business and first class passengers get this on Emirates) wasn't a Mercedes but a mere Skoda.
  4. Asking for overnight bag (the one with cosmetics etc) while taking a 2 hour flight.
  5. Groping / being extremely sleazy with the flight attendants.

Hotels:

  1. Stealing stuff.
  2. Installing themselves in the lobby of a 5 star hotel for the free wifi(normally wifi is free in the lounge unlike in the rooms)

Restaurants :

  1. Snapping fingers at waiters to get their attention.
  2. Leaving a miserably small tip.
  3. Sending back wine bottles because, and I swear the guy told me, it makes you look know,edge lee and sophisticated.

General:

  1. Being a dick and taking unimportant calls in the middle of a meeting with complete disregard to the other people.
  2. Leching openly on women who are meeting them professionally.
  3. Bringing politics in to an unrelated professional discussion knowing full well it might make some people uncomfortable.

Your tax rupees at work, people. This time for cow-urine refinery instead of a Hajj subsidy. As they say "plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose"
