Satisfying a Politician

What a relief that Mr. AR Antulay is now satisfied on how Late Hemant Karkare became a martyr.
Yet another instance of a parliamentarian belittling our confidence. Another politician stooping low to indulge in vote bank politics. Its funny that these people dare pull a fast one on "we the people" and use a death of one of the most courageous and intelligent police officer.
Does he really have the privilege to speculate in public? Shouldn't these "esteemed" politicians especially a Union minister be far more cautious about what they indulge in public, unless the governement has failed to satisfy them? Truly, I think such instances should be causes for defamation, as these acts are nothing short of defaming the intelligence of voters and of the nation.
"All doubts in this respect have been clarified", says Mr. Antulay. Well, is he doubting that there was a terror attack in Mumbai? Or does he believe that it was one huge Bollywood set? Or he only sees through the vote lens and believes he will please some voters by speculating on a soldiers martyrdom?
Unfortunately, we the people get swayed by conspiracy theories. This might sway some as well. But such make believes especially when politicians indulge in it irresponsibly, should be delat with - swiftly.
He is satisifed.
But I am not. Hopefully, neither are "we the people". Especially the ones in his constituency.

"Vote bank politics", when will our nation and its psuedo leaders realize that this will completely anhilate our country.Unity in diversity-this was the first chapter of my history book in school..But i guess it has no meaning today..Discrimination based on caste,religion,region & so on...where is the country heading for???we need to do something proactive to stop this downward slide.....

Well crafted thoughts Somi...
