TOI Headlines today
Om Puri & Kiran Bedi could face 15 days in Jail.
Interesting. Though Kiran Bedi's speech was tasteless & tone repungant but I am aghast that there is exists a law in the country where one could be jailed for using such tone against MP's. Politicians use it against each other, against opponents & against others all the time. I would not like to quote names & instances here but clearly all of us are well aware of it.
However, the substance of Kiran Bedi's speech was not entirely off the mark. We do know that politicians are notoriously inconsistent with their views & commitments.
Are our political class merely wanting to extract some revenge for being brow-beaten by ordinary folks. They find an excuse in Om Puri's & Kiran Bedi's statement & perhaps a ridiculous law to do this. We never see such alacrity in punishing a Raja or a Kalmadi or so many others in the political class. What are we to make out of such haste in this case?
