A Manifesto Towards Backwardness

The entire world is pushing for better use of technology to improve the lives of people. In this tech savvy world, where information can be at your finger tips, the manifesto of the Samajwadi Party calls for lesser use of computers. The party's reasoning:

The use of computers in offices is creating unemployment problems. Our party feels that if work can be done by a person using hands there is no need to deploy machines. The party is also against compulsory use of English language in education, administration and judiciary and would favor the use of regional languages.

This is all well and good, but if you look at the parties website;yes the party against computers has a website, it provides options for reading the website in English and Hindi. I wonder why the party which is against the compulsory use of English language in education has its website in English. Also what purpose would a website serve if you do not know how to use a computer?

What will be next on the party's hitlist, a ban on emails because they are hurting the postal service, or a ban on cell phones because the use of land-line phones is declining and thus people manufacturing them are being laid off creating unemployment.
