I really am out of intelligent answers so let me ask a few questions. Dear Kapil Ji, it was very kind of you to suggest that posts that offend the feelings of a country, community etc. be screened and that’s very kind of you but maybe you can show your sense of civic duty in a different direction, where its needed a bit more.
Lets start with the ones that make every Indian cringe. Why not stop many more commonwealth game scams from occurring. Do you know what hurts the feelings of this Indian the most? It’s the knowing chuckle of a foreigner that says “so you guys tried to host such a big event? and look what a mess you made”. So let me ask you sir, can you please ban all such sporting events in the future? Can you throw your moral indignation at the very leaders of your party who made a complete mess of things and ask them to never do it again?
I guess that’s was just the starters for the full course meal of corruption that we got served last year. 2G Scam unfairly takes limelight but what a scam! With everybody pointing fingers at everybody else we don’t know whom to blame. We have chief ministers crying like babies about political vendetta. We have ministers getting in and out of Jail like Aishwarya Ray’s baby shower. We have your comments that there has not been any actual loss (of all things you are a lawyer, sir) and then realizing that the losses we are talking about is the money made by the winners of the backdoor auctioning of spectrum and not some fictional made up numbers. I was surely banging my head against the wall and wondering aloud “Why had I voted for Congress? Why?”
And then came Anna Hazare! This really took the cake. Not only were you (or was it your party?) against greater accountability and transparency, you had to fight (with batons against defense-less sadhus and women) against the very concept every inch of the way. At the end of the day whom were you defending? What were you defending? Were you defending your immunity? impunity perhaps?
And so Kapil ji, may I ask what hurts the feelings of the community more? Is it the half crazed ramblings of an idiotic Facebook user or the jaw dropping corruption of an elected and respected politician? Does the emperor even know – that he is naked?
