NCC taught me how to be disciplined, patriotic says CM
Reference to the article “NCC taught me how to be disciplined, patriotic” on Herald dated 30th June’10. It is not enough to be taught to be disciplined and patriotic, after learning we have to put it in action or practice, only then we portray our values and what we have learnt. What is the use of learning to be disciplined and patriotic, if we do not put it in practice.
I do not understand what patriotism our esteemed Chief Minister is talking about, when all that he and his thirty nine colleagues are doing, is against the very basic principles of patriotism. If he was patriotic would have antisocial and tainted people in his cabinet ? If he was patriotic would he allow destruction to our ecology and our environment ? If he was patriotic, how could he help corruption flourish ? If he was patriotic, how could he turn a blind eye and be surrounded by people who are involved in drugs, extortion and even murder ? Looking at all the anomalies that our esteemed Chief Minister is involved in, if I was a NCC cadet I would be ashamed of myself, that guys like our Chief Minister were a part of our group one time or the other.
I know that the NCC instills in us true values and discipline but looking at our esteemed Chief Minister I wonder from where he acquired all the wrong attributes and that too in abundance !

The KIFF League played under the auspices of Kuwait Indian Football Federation (K.I.F.F) and officiated by KIFF referees provides Indian players with the opportunity to showcase their soccer skills against the best competition, while emphasizing teamwork, discipline and fair play -- in perhaps one of India's only 11-aside recognized league abroad.
The Kuwait Indian Football Federation (K.I.F.F.) established in 1984 controls the League and Tournaments organized by clubs affiliated to KIFF.
The J.P. Memorial Rolling Trophy - KIFF League is named after late Jerome Pascoal DMello (popularly known in India and Kuwait as J.P).
The late J.P. D'Mello, founder President of the Association was the one instrumental in forming the current Kuwait Indian Football Federation (K.I.F.F). His memory has been justly kept alive by KIFF through its affiliated Indian football teams/clubs/associations by naming the KIFF League after him.
D'Mello was an ex-FIFA referee, Member of Asian Football Confederation Referees Committee and ex-Hon. Secretary and Member of Bombay Referees' Association. A prime architect in conceiving the idea of forming KIFF, D'Mello who lived in Andheri East, Bombay left for a heavenly abode in 1994. Record of the League since 1996-97:
