It is a different story today. Mr. Tejishwar Khanna, our Lt Governor of Delhi is under tremendous pressure from all corners as all politicians cutting across party lines are pouncing on him.
What did he do so? Did he do anything abnormal that Indians cannot digest or anything that is harmful to our country? If you thought so, then you, perhaps, did not understand Indian politics yet. All Mr. Khanna remarked is, “The traffic sense among North-Indians is bad as compared to South-Indians. They should learn from them so as to avoid many accidents that occur because of our lacuna”
Enough is enough now. All the politicians are up on their sleeves pouncing on Mr. Khanna for making regionalist statement. Are you laughing? If so, that is the irony of Indian politics.
I know and almost all of you knew that Mr. Khanna’s statement is not regionalist but a matter of common sense. He did not do any Raj Thackrey (refer my earlier blog). Still, surprisingly, our politicians, who did not find any fault with Raj’s statement what were worse than a regionalist statement and kept mum on that issue, are now dragging Khanna. They demand an apology from Mr. Khanna for making such a statement.
Every man has something or other to learn from the other he comes across. Still, Indian Ego does not allow them to accept this fact. If the traffic discipline is good at one part of India and not in other, why can’t we see this and learn? Why do we want to reject it in an outright fashion? Why do we act so hypocritical?
All of us knew that Delhites claim pride in violating law and I have hardly seen anyone using a subway to cross road in Delhi. They care a damn for the traffic laws and its signals and this is the prime reason for the numerous accidents occur in this place.
If politicians are so worried about this statement, what will they do if some one told that Delhi is unsafe for women as compared to any other part of India? Will it be considered as a regionalist statement?
I am at loss understanding these politicians. They should have protested to Raj Thackrey’s statement (that showed his immaturity) and hailed Mr. Khanna. These politicians should have impressed upon the basic necessity to common people after all it is for their safety. Instead they kept mum on Raj’s statement and pounced on Mr. Khanna.
But what can I expect in a country where the court verdicts against wearing of helmet (Pune). In all fairness, the court should have rejected the petition itself.
All it happens only in India!
