Knaeda gone bonkers!

Ha!Ha! Ha!... O! Boy! Haven't laughed so much and so loud in a long time. Kudos to the Canadian government for playing the moral jester to perfection. Lt Gen (rtd) Amrik Bahia is certainly not tickled by the buffonery but to an impartial observer the clown just gave a winning performance.
Though Lt Gen Bahia isn't the first armed force personnel from India to be subjected to Canadian government's ethic-antics, his case has certainly caught the media's eye. Lt Gen Bahia was denied visa by the Government of Canada on the grounds of his having served in Kashmir where, according to some international human rights organizations, there were grave issues regarding violations of human rights by the Armed Forces of India. Well, well, the art of collective condemnation has been refined to a nauseating perfection here. Thus going by the Canadian government's logic any Indian in uniform, having been posted in Kashmir by the Government of India, is not eligible for a Canadian visa on assumed charges of human rights violation by the person in question.
The assumption is hilarious and grave at the same time. It indirectly points a finger at the Government of India for orchestrating human rights violation in the Valley. If so, then no person who represents the Government of India in any capacity should be allowed within the borders of Canada.
This certainly is not an attempt to defend or deny human rights violation in J and K, but is rather an effort to highlight the Canadian government's tomfoolery in denying visas to Armed Force personnel of India who have served in Kashmir. Personnel belonging to the Armed Forces of India, many of them like Let Gen Bahia, highly decorated, serve in a particular state of their country not on their own volition but according to stringent guidelines that regulate their postings alongwith manforce and strategic requirement in the said region. The Government of India has an unequivocal say in all matters pertaining to the Armed Forces which includes the desired strength of armed personnel in a particular geographical location. Therefore, if a posting in Kashmir marks India's men in uniform as non-eligible for Canadian visa, then the Government of India needs to be put in the dock too.
As the Canadian government is bursting with righteous indignation at human rights violation by armed forces, how about pulling the visa leash on powerful neighbours like the United States of America. Remember the Abu Gharib prison and Guatanamo Bay detention camp? Remember the rape, torture and abuse of Iraqi and Afghani prisoners? By the way the act of war on Iraq itself was the most blatant human rights violation of all times, so isn't Uncle Sam just ripe for a rap on the knuckle the kind Let Gen Bahia has received from the Canadian government for serving in Kashmir?
Amusing moral gymnastic isn't it, from the beginning to the end.
