Something for entertainment

Seems Messrs Karat and Yechury want to demonstrate to the pakis how
the american troops are like the nazis.

This from a bunch of stalinists who have killed more of their own in
india and kashmir than the pakis!

Of course, its indian taxpayer money; perhaps they even travel
business class (ironic, is'nt it.. a commie in business class)

Stage set for CPM-backed anti-US play in Pakistan
Script for Operation Flush cleared by state party headquarters; UPA
govt to foot troupe's travel bill
Bidyut Roy

Kolkata, August 26: An anti-US play will be staged by the Communist
Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) in Pakistan, with travel sponsored by
the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government at the Centre headed
by Manmohan Singh.

As they say, all's fair in love and war. So, Prakash Karat is getting
the UPA government to foot the travel bill for a troupe of the Indian
People's Theatre Association (IPTA), scheduled to visit Pakistan in
November. Never mind the fact that Karat loses no opportunity to
stridently criticise the same government at other times. The IPTA's
West Bengal chapter is patronised by state CPI(M) leaders.

The play deals with the atrocities perpetrated by US forces in Iraq's
infamous Abu Ghraib prison. The fact that American forces treated the
Iraqi detainees inhumanly has been corroborated by an internal
inquiry. The report covered the period from October to December 2003.

The IPTA's "docu theatre", titled Operation Flush, has been scripted
by Sangram Guha and directed by Samudra Guha — two brothers who are
CPI(M) members. The play, whose script was cleared by the CPI(M)'s
State secretariat, was first staged in July 2004, when Chief Minister
Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee attended the premiere show. Since then, it has
often been staged at the party's cultural events.

Now, it is being adapted in Urdu in order to cater to the Pakistani
audience, which is expected to comprise Leftists and representatives
from 28 countries. The Rafi Peer Theatre Workshop in Lahore is hosting
the tour of Pakistan, from November 9-26 this year, and will bear all
costs there.

"We had sent three plays to Rafi Peer Theatre, out of which they
selected Operation Flush," said the playwright, Sangram Guha. He
confirmed that the Centre's Indian Council for Cultural Relations
(ICCR) had agreed to foot the troupe's travel expenses, estimated to
touch Rs 2.85 lakh.

"We are now talking to the Ministry of External Affairs for the
required clearances," he added. The theatre troupe will be accompanied
by 18 others, of whom seven are CPI(M) members.

The state CPI(M)'s Alimuddin Street headquarters had approved the
script, which relies extensively on reports published in western media
like the UK's The Guardian, The Daily Mirror and America's The New
Yorker, as well as the Al Jazeera website.

According to reports, the story revolves around the trial of an US
Army officer on charges of rape, torture and murder of prisoners. The
playwright has used the trial proceedings to draw comparisons between
the US Army and Hitler's Nazis.

What a bunch of idiots!
Knowing the Commies long history in Kerala they should know this. However, let us remind them of the Mopallah Rebellion where the Islamists once incited to a goal did not make a distinction between the British (Intended Mopallah Target) who colonised the middle east, and the Hindus (Actual Mopallah Targets) who had nothing to do with the Caliphate winding up.
In a similar vein, when these Greens get a gun in their hand they are more likely to shoot the "Idol Worhipping Infidel" for crimes committed by the great "Imperialist Satan". Where will these toadies be then? Which "Original Sin" on the part of Hindus will it be that invites retaliation?
Perhaps this is too much to expect of these Commie Bums. What is lacking in their case is not intelligence, but self-respect. The logic of history cannot make an impression on the colonised mind.
