CNN-IBN informs us that the government has a plan to get M.F Hussain back from his self-imposed exile due to frivolous cases filed against him. What that plan may be,
According to sources, Husain’s self-imposed exile may come to an end if a plan being worked out by the UPA succeeds. CNN-IBN has learnt that the Government is making its first move to try and come to the rescue of Hussain.
Home Ministry sources have confirmed that cases filled across the country against Husain should be expedited. This will enable the Government to work out a focussed strategy to bring Husain back.[link]
Can anyone figure out a plan here? Or maybe in the babudom planning to work out a ”focussed strategy” is a plan in it self?
And notice the language: Home ministry sources say the cases ‘’should” be expedited. Don’t remember anyone in any context ever claiming that cases should go slow!
As the rest of the story suggests, this so-called exclusive is a case of manufacturing headlines. I didn’t bother checking the video but I am sure it must have been accompanied by ‘B’ grade Hindi movie music.
In other news, Dr Ramakrishnan is discovering that he suddenly has a lot friends.

sire, corrected. Ty
Who is this impostor, and what have you done with our friend ?
Rehne do usko wahin par… why bring that useless miscreant back? Hussein will be happy there, and so will we here
Oh.. glad to see you write finally!
If this plan succeeds, perhaps the UPA can work on a similar plan for Taslima Nasreen’s safe journey/stay in India.
She is not an Indian citizen, is she?
No, but she’s been granted a visa in the past.
Since when have Bangladeshis needed a visa for India? I thought it was open border.
/snark.
Time was when this would have sparked a 50 comment thread. *sigh*
Double sigh. Damn Twitter took away my entertainment …oh wait….
Sakshi, good one.
Though if one is a “famous” Bangladeshi writer, perhaps a visa is necessary. It’s the anonymous riff-raff that can cross over without a visa and pretend to be Indians.
