Naivety, innocence, cheek, dare and protest; thy name has surely got to be Arvind Kejriwal........
Yes, the Delhi Chief Minister is back to doing what he knows best, that is donning the role of protester, agitationist, activist and extremist (as some of his political opponents prefer to call him); and this time both he as well as his cabinet colleagues are all set to take up cudgels against the nonchalant inaction of the Delhi Police against crimes being committed without growing impunity in the national capital.........
Differing, confusing and conflicting versions of recent events involving the infamous Delhi Police, Aam Aadmi Party volunteers, ministers and the ephemeral Aam Aadmi have been making the rounds, without one quiet knowing which is the true and unabridged version of events........
To confound matters even further, the Delhi Police bigwigs, Lieutenant Governor as well as Home Ministry mandarins have ganged up, united and formed some kind of unholy alliance against the Delhi Government as they see their age old sense of superciliousness and smugness being challenged on an everyday basis by a popularly elected government..........
According to the Delhi Chief Minister, the galling and highly patronising attitude of the Delhi Police Bigwigs as well as Home Ministry mandarins have left him with little or no choice in the matter and according to him launching an indefinite dharna against them in front of the gates of the home ministry is the only way of cutting them down to size..........
Political opponents, self styled and armchair critics and supposedly non partisan voices including Barkha Dutt, Arnab Goswami and Rajdeep Sardesai have been crying themselves hoarse and repeating themselves ad nauseum mouthing lines about the chief minister having to shed his protester's mantle and don the robes of a governor, so on and so forth..,......
All this and a furtive attempt by the beleaguered and under fire home ministry to issue a dubious and hollow communique pertaining to an alleged kidnap attempt by Indian Mujahideen sympathisers and foot soldiers have done precious little to douse the chief minister's firebrand demeanour and furrow his brow........
The home ministry and Delhi Police seem to have met more than their match at long last and are literally at their collective wit's end; what with their trying to conjure up efficacious counter measures that will only serve to pull out the proverbial rug from under the Delhi chief minister's feet........
This fascinating and eyeball catching skirmish of measure and counter measure has certainly unearthed some long decaying and putrefying skeletons in the cupboards of both the Delhi Police as well as the comic home ministry and added a few more feathers to the Delhi Chief Minister's already burgeoning cap or then should I say head scarf.........
I for one whole heartedly support the chief minister's dharna and ardently hope that alert and concerned Delhiites will emerge in their thousands and send both the Delhi Police as well as apology for a home minister back into their burrows.........
