Chidambaram - Shoed Away!

My friend commented - The Pen is not mightier than the sword...the Shoe is!

Truly, the shoe attack on Chidambaram left me in splits of laughter as I saw it repeat over and over on the evening news. I must say I am a fan of Jarnail Singh now. What audacity! I am sure a lot of people may not agree with me, but I think I like the guy's guts. After all, the politicians of our country should be returned with similar gestures, with which they treat the common man.

So Jarnail Singh was taken into custody but left free after a few questions. What more could you ask for, but some politicians wanted a fair trial. One of them insisted that it is the duty of Delhi Police to take action against such crimes, even if the mighty Home Minister has let the man go. As a duty, the police should and must take the man into custody and reward him with punishment for such a heinous crime. Now is he talking about the same police who's duty is also to punish a driver who kills a man under his bus? Or the same police who lets lose a man who has raped/ killed a minor? Who reminds them of their duties then? Shouldn't the question of a policeman's duty be raised at these incidents. Just because Chidambaram is the Home Minister, action has to be take as it is an attack on the country. Shouldn't the police perform their duties by arresting politicians who back such crimes? Isn't that an attack on our country?

What a shame to even make such hypocrite statements, that too coming from our politicians.
