Much Ado About Nothing !

American spy-agencies , FBI and NSA , regularly  " spy "  upon , not only its own citizens ( - including its Congressmen / Senators ), but also on foreign dignitaries such as ,

>   Chancellor Angela Merkel   ( Germany )

>   Prime Minister Hollande      ( France  )

>   Prime Minister Cameron      ( Britain )

>   Prime Minister Kerzai          ( Afghanistan )

>   Sundry Indian Politicians...  etc

When revealed by whistle-blowers like Asange / Snowden , American Secretary of State , John Kerry simply said ,

"   All of this spying is crucial for the security of America.  We just cannot discontinue spying even if persons being spied upon are our close friends. If anyone feels hurt , we cannot help "

What Kerry left unsaid is ,

"  Period . Put up or shut up !

   Every country spies on its own citizens .

   If you don't know about this fundamental fact of statehood , you must be

   an ignoramus !  "

Those high and mighty kept quiet , since they are guilty of the spying , themselves  !

So , what is all this hoolaboolu about Gujarat police spying on a girl , as requested for , by her own father  ?

But since opposition politicians have run out of serious election issues , they must clutch at the straw to remain afloat  !

They know this is their only hope of appearing on TV news channels  !

What they seem to forget  is :

TV anchors - and their businessmen owners - know too well that people will stop watching a debate on a 5 year old " Non-Issue " after just 3 days  !

So , if they wish to continue to be invited on TV panel discussions , opposition politicians must find another " Non-Issue " - and fast  !

Much ado about nothing !
