Amar Singh has invited Jaswant Singh to join Samajwadi Party. Yes, Jaswant has washed all his “communal sins” of being a Jan Sanghi or a BJPite by singing the paeans of Jinnah and so can join Maulana Mulayam Singh Yadav’s party.
I feel that so much non-sense is being dished out in the form of TV coverages and commentaries on this act of a leader of a party in decline. Let him have his views and let the party expel him for that. How does it affect a common man?
Talking of TVs whipping up euphoria on non-issues, swine flu is a recent one. I was appalled to see on CNN that 30000 (yes thirty thousand) people die every year of ordinary flu in US and this year swine flu is feared to kill about 90000. For a country like US where paranoia is a way of life, there is not much of a cry created over the media and in India, so much is being talked about and shown about. The media, starved of content, takes up anything like if I say tomorrow my pet dog has jumped up the wall and got into a neighbour’s house, even that may be covered for a few hours on the TVs, even the national one. It is disgusting and nauseating.
