For many hours yesterday , on a number of TV channels ,
experts were asking :
Why,
Ø Man
Mohan Singh cow-towed before Rahul ?
Ø Cabinet
surrendered its supremacy to Sonia ?
Ø Sonia
kept quiet against son’s insubordination ?
Ø Sushma
Swaraj ( & Co ) did not oppose the bill initially ?
Ø Milind
Deora was silenced ?
Ø Samajwadi
Party wants the Ordinance passed – even as a Bill ?
Ø Narendra
Modi is deafeningly silent on the entire episode ?
Ø Subramaniam
Swamy feels dejected ?
Ø Rajnath
Singh is trying to corner all credit ?
Ø Sharad
Pawar was sulking with back-stabbing ?
Ø Manish
Tewari was just about to cry ?
Ø Mahesh
Jethmalani had no answer for Babulal Bokhadia ?
Ø Ram
Jethmalani called Rahul , an unlikely hero ?
Ø Gurudas
Dasgupta sounded “ holier than thou “ ?
Ø Kapil
Sibbal / Chidambaram hid from the media ?
Ø Rahul
failed to apologize to PM , in public ?
Ø Arnab
Goswami forgo his divine right to drown the voice of panelists ?
My own take of the entire episode :
Ø Why
keep asking the “ why “ ?
Ø Why
must we forever try to figure out the “ cause “ ?
Ø Why
are we obsessed with the presumed ulterior “ motives ” ?
Ø Why
can’t we just be happy that the will of the people has prevailed ?
Ø Why
not let the future unravel itself ?
Ø Why
not rejoice with the outcome ?
Ø Instead
of merely speculating what will happen next , why not people – and media
–assert themselves and speak up loudly about,
# Political parties to be covered by RTI
# Electoral Reforms
# Women’s Representation
# Jan Lok Pal Bill…etc
Let us send out to the corrupt – and power hungry –
politicians , a very loud and clear , “
Do or Die “ call !
