A slap on the face .......anger & diagreement....growing resentment on the political class....
Incidents like slapping, hurling eggs, shoes, sandals have been contagious and common across the borders of nations. We have freedom of speech & expression as enshrined in our constitution. Resentment pertaining to any issue can well be contained and expressed within the guidellines of law. But perpetrators chose not to be so.
Scams and price rise, deemed to be the prime reasons behind the recent slapping of a minister. The offender vowed to kill and alleged that all politicians are thieves. If we are on a wildspree to kill the representatives accused, then the framework of our constitution and judiciary would be a utter failure.
Is it this growing intolerance we should be worrying about? or the means adopted to express it? or the isane opportunistic politics being played to raise the emotions of people? or the commercial oriented replays of the media which gives undue publicity to such incidents..
It is equally reprehensible and condemnable that the self proclaimed anti crusader's first reaction was ' ONLY ONE SLAP!!!..' . This might be construed as an encouragement for such acts.
The other side of the argument: Why at all such things happen? Is it not the responsibility of the representative class to conduct themselves in a way which would appease/placate the nation.
where are we heading....what is my responsibility....Is there anything I can do to alleviate all these..high time to think......
