Operation Duryodhana: MPs paid to say funny things in Parliament
Operation Cobra signs up an MP to say whatever in parliament for an annual fee.
MP signs blank parliamentary forms used for submitting questions in the Lok Sabha. Aniruddha Bahal has fun with the questions:
Whether the Railway Ministry has placed any order for purchase of the Yossarian Electro Diesel engine from Germany? Is the ministry aware that the Tom Wolfe committee report in Germany has halted its induction into the Euro Rail system?
Whether the Government has given sanction for the seed trial of Salinger Cotton of Monsanto? If so, has a report been prepared on Catch 22 cotton so far?
Has the ministry lifted the 1962 ban it imposed on the book ?For whom the Bell Tolls? by Ernest Hemingway and the 1975 ban on Ken Kesey?s book ?One Flew Over a Cuckoo?s Nest? and Hunter Thomson?s book ?Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas?? If so, when were the bans removed?
Whether the government is aware that a domestic flying license has been denied to Cobra Cargo for starting operations in India? Since when has Semper Sursum Private Limited, the holding company of Cobra Cargo, applied for the domestic cargo license?
