“ Defense is the root of any country”
There has been movies made all over on war and the military regime, which has been talked about, whether it shows the discipline, management of a person. In any part of the world you must never have seen a corrupt army person.
Its always been the corruption related to Politician, world over. India has been always been leading as far as corrupt politicians are concerned. Again I don’t want generalize the statement.
Long time back we had seen the movie Guns of Navrone and still think it is one of the best war movie ever made. We have seen how the soldiers fight for the country, this shows that how important Defense is for the country.
Tehelka.com decided to make a movie and give competition to Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s Mission Kashmir but they wanted to be different and they gave us the real actors and actress.

PLOT
Tarun Tejpal wanted some exposure to his website and he didn’t believed in the concept of advertising lavishly, instead he wanted to be very different from others. He succeeded when he brought out the Cricket Scam in collaboration with Manoj Prabhakar. But the problem what happened his Kapil Dev took all the covers and he didn’t get that much coverage. Now this time he didn’t want to make the same mistake and his Mission George started. He called this mission as Operation West End. Though the entire story revolves around George Fernandes, its much more than George.
The story started when the reporters of Tehelka changed their identity as Arms and Ammunition dealer trying to get one of the tender cleared by the Ministry of Defence along with Military clearance.
As it is always said, corruption starts from the roots and gets all the way up to the top most leaves of a tree, in the similar way, they started giving offering money to the politicians, whether it is Jaya Jaitlely or the Samta Party Treasurer asking and carving for more money. No doubt BJP president Bangaru Laxman’s greed didn’t stop at RS 1, 00, 000 he carved for more but now in Dollars. Though the greediest party was Samata Party, where in right from George to the treasurer R.K. Jain were involved. After filling the pockets of these greedy politician these people needed to fill the mouths of the people who are actually going to clear the tender.
It was shocking to know that one of the country’s more respected government body has been the so money crazy that they were selling the most important part of the countries defense deals to a stranger whom they have not researched enough. It is said that, in any defense dealings, there is a need to do a good research about the company, their were about and their track record. This shows the lacklustreness and the greed for more and more money.
After 8mths of real struggle with hidden cameras and audio’s they reveal the biggest scam to ever hit in the history of any country, with the Strong Defense shackles been broken and Politicians being revealed out.
Now the question is will the politicians accept the blame or come out with something else…
I N T E R V A L
Now when this report and the video cassettes were released, a Nation with a population of 1 billion people is shocked not that the politician’s are involved but shocked that Indian Defense has shown a sorry picture. A Nation with great father figures like Mahatma Gandhi, Subash Chandra Bose, Sardar Vallabhai Patel, has been ruined by this greed of few politicians.
The best part is the politicians who have been charged are not ready to accept the crime but give various reasons. Jaya Jaitley giving a reason that she thought it was for building a charity hospital then let me tell her, that I am President of America. Others say that, the whole pictures and videos have been morphed and the voices have been dubbed.
Probably they thought Tehelka had got so much money that they could hire the person who had Morphed Tom Hanks, in the movie Forrest Gump and take Johhny Lever to dub the voices. These politicians are so shameless in spite of this they cant except the truth.
Mr. George himself says that when he kicked back Coke long back, he says that Coke had offered him 2crs(year 1970s). At that time don’t you guys think 2crs is a big amount? Probably Mr George must have asked for 2crs and coke was not ready to accept.
Though the Military had some shame left and accepted their crime. But these polticians will never come out with the real truth.
After all this, now Bofors(Congress and Gang) and Armsgate(Atal Bihari and gang) are fighting to show this world that who is more shameless.
Now Zee TV needed the much needed cash running after the disaster of the Sawal Dus Crore, they got hold of Tehelka and must have paid hefty money and in return got great revenue from advertisement and the TRP ratings. But the bottom line was people got to see the biggest scam live on television.
Though like most of the movie, it is going to have a happy ending, but the difference is that the culprit is going to have a happy ending. Now this investigation is going to take another Century like most of the other investigation to get cleared. Till that time they are enjoying their life. George is nearly on his ending stage, by the time the investigations get cleared he may be no more.
Ending on a serious note …
Do we need websites like Tehelka to reveal the truth?
Is our CBI not capable?
Don’t you think these politicians should be hanged to death for cheating millions of people?
These are just some questions, from the list of 100s of questions; the MS place will become less if we want to speak about this.
