Varun â a picture of defiance
A rebellious streak in the eyes, an aggressive gait and that hint of a smile on the face. All in all a visage that had defiance written all over it. That was Varun Gandhi as he walked out of Etah jail on Thursday evening.
As he came out of the jailâs iron gates, Varun raised his hand to acknowledge the cheers of his supporters, and then gave a clenched fist salute. He did fold hands a few times, but there was no sign of humility â the head never went down by even an inch, the hands didnât touch the chest.
When the district magistrate tried to check Varun from going too near the crowd, the 28-year-old leader placed an arm around his shoulder.
Varun could have easily walked out of jail and gone straight to the passenger seat of his vehicle. But he chose to walk around it, took his time, clenched fists, giving his victory salute as the crowd cheered.
Clearly, Varun did not want to let the opportunity pass. After 16 days out of the media glare, he milked every minute he got in front of the television cameras outside Etah jail.
