On now at Aamir’s blog: citizen, heal thyself

After Amitabh Bachchan’s blog post on the Mumbai terror attack, actor-producer Aamir Khan blogs with his views. It’s not enough to blame the politicians for being corrupt and inefficient, citizens too are to blame for dodging taxes and not bothering to vote.

ak1As I had expected various politicians have tried to use this traumatic and tragic attack to their advantage. I only hope that people see through them this time.

Quite clearly both the major political parties have failed to tackle terrorism. There have been repeated attacks on us during both their reigns which neither has been able to either anticipate or deal with well. While what happened in Mumbai recently clearly exposes the incompetence of the Congress, the hijacking of the Indian Airlines flight 814 during the BJP rule shows them in even worse light. They actually NEGOTIATED with the terrorists and RELEASED 3 dreaded terrorists from Indian jails. All the 5 hijackers and the 3 terrorists released from India by the then BJP government were allowed to escape to attack us another day.

AB’s baby. It’s a blog.

Amitabh Bachchan joins a growing legion of bloggers to write about his family, things he feels strongly about and as a platform to reply to his critics (including a swipe at filmstar-politician Shatrughan Sinha).

In one of his posts he talks about the Marathi-non Marathi controversy whipped up by Raj Thackeray, saying that ‘discrimination of any kind is not acceptable to me’.

Hosted by BigAdda (which is owned by good friend Anil Ambani) and just one week old, Big B’s blog is a super-duper hit with comments pouring in from ‘Poland to Pakistan’.
