Bomb Blasts In India - 2

[Capt M Kumar]

<!--emo&--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo--> On a day when you thought that the home minister of the country would be too busy with phones ringing around him, Mr Patil changed into at least three different suits in as many hours. Sporting a white suit at the CWC meeting at 6.30 pm, he seemed to have made a dash to his home soon after hearing of the blasts — to change into a dark-coloured suit, possibly for the benefit of the cameras waiting outside for his usual “run of the mill” byte. By 10.30 pm, when he arrived at the blast site for a customary inspection, he had found the time to change into a white suit yet again — no, not the one he wore at the CWC — to project a more solemn look. Of course, each look was completed with his perfectly coiffured and gelled hair.

And if wearing his incompetence on his full sleeves was not enough, the minister came up with an empty declarations to “punish the guilty” (What about the Samjhauta blasts, Mr Minister, where the trail remains completely dry even after six months?) and a rehearsed appeal to maintain calm and harmony.
