Heartfelt blasphemy

A senior Central Minister said yesterday that anybody who does not feel compassionate towards Sanjay Dutt should check up with a cardiologist to find out if he has a heart. This prompts me to suggest to this hearty Minister to order the Sonia Gandhi installed President of the Republic of India to promulgate an Ordinance to make it compulsory for every citizen to check up with her or his nearest cardiologist for this great national purpose.

My sincere suggestion to the Minister that he/she should aim to become the Chief Justice, so that every jailbird shall breathe easy, every criminal shall not have to worry for any hideouts, but the only problem is, where will the conscientious citizens go? May be they need to undergo some sort of "rehabilitation" (pun intended) so that they too will start feeling for every such law-abiding [read avoiding] individual!!

Your anger is perfectly understandable! Atrocious as the minister's talk is, it comes as no shock to a seasoned citizen who'd have seen the likes of Lalus and Deve Gowdas, and Basavalingappas and umpteen other netas earlier. The only reason why someone might be tempted to sympathise with Sanjay Dutt is that, far worse criminals than him continue to not just evade gallows, but be in topmost positions, as law makers of this nation.

This could not have been possible had not the law enforcing authorities been 'hand in glove' with the law-makers. They have set a precedent of being permissive with a certain 'set' of people. All the writing/reading we do is only for mime and yours 'venting' and no more. Wondering will the silver lining ever appear on this perennial cloud?
