Statement of the decade

When the notorious bill was tabled in the Lower House, Left parties and Akali Dal members were seen vociferously opposing it; no other dissension was ostensibly heard and the bill got cleared in the lower house by a thumping majority. But--and a big but--the said bill got collared in the Upper House, where few best advocates cum politicians of the current generation, I dare say, adorn the dais of the house. And as the said bill was discussed--rather testified and assessed--in the lower house, these aforesaid select few politicians not only questioned the authenticity of the Ordinance, the integrity and probity of the beleaguered Government but heralded the days to come and the lark, and loss of face, government will be in, when rejected or returned by the president for a reconsideration.

As was presaged ; so happened. The President, who apart from being a congressmen happens to be a 'Martinet' first--as he was a professor of economics in a West Bengal university-- and a congress-loyalist later, justifiedly questioned the reddened minister's trio for the haste and urgency of the government for the ordinance. And the feeling that coming generations will not forgive or forget such an astute martinet in failing to curb Indian politics from corruption and criminals, the octogenarian President lived up-to the expectations and his tirade on the minister's triumvirate with the volley of questionnaire conducted Congress to a more precarious and more dingy place.

 Now, the congress was really left in a lurch, and it needed a person to perform the 'Hara-Kiri' of the ordinance and oneself--like Holika-dahan in Hindu Mythology. And here came the Charismatic 'Yuvraj". With a serious and a celestial countenance he gave the statement of the decade--The Ordinance in question is a trash  and must be thrown to the dustbin(the dustbins in and around Delhi were seen rattling to honour the wishes of the 'Yuvraj' , feeling elated in stature after being mentioned by none other than the 'Yuvraj').

 The statement which not only gave sufficient nourishment to the attenuated NDA but to the media also.In a decade or so, I cant recall any rash or absurd statement from this 'heir-apparent', even on the gravest issues. He was happy cooling his heels for his expedition to the throne of thorns--the prime-minister ship of India. And he was never seen consecrating his sagacity in the media on any issue serious or light.

Although he may not be having the best of academic degrees, but he has inherited some responsibility, accountability and his this factitious belligerency-- of opening the Pandora's box -- must be analyzed in this context also. Now, when the whole India is abuzz with the news of his clemency, temerity, audacity, and treachery, very few will deny the fact that in order to save his taunted, exhausted and extenuated government's face from severe reprimand and derision by the multitude, opposition, and media, he has done this harangue bravely, heroically and assiduously. Rather has left the issue to die its natural death(the time-treatment) amid the cacophony of the opposition
