English: Sanjay dutt at Musafir press meet at IIFA, Singapore (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
I feel India is the only country that:
1. Cares more about people in another country than its own.
Thousands of Tamilians in Tamil Nadu are homeless and
starving. Yet the Tamil Nadu government is more interested in Sri Lankan
nationality Tamilians in Sri Lanka.
2. Mixes sports with politics.
Have a disagreement with Sri Lanka and you have no matches
in Madras. Thankfully neither Italy plays cricket nor we are a big footballing
nation or we would have stopped playing with them too.
If I were in the BCCI, seeing the government's apathy
towards Sri Lankan players who have nothing got to do with the ongoing issue, I
would have cancelled Madras as a venue for this year's IPL. Sporting
tournaments should be taken sportingly and not as a platform to hold a nation
or its people at ransom.
3. Singling out people to prevent justice being done.
Sanjay Dutt, by acting in Munnabhai series of movies has not
done a good deed or the nation a favour. He is an actor and acting is his job.
His sister Priya Dutt's comment that he has been suffering for the last 20
years and hence should be set free somehow never ceases to amaze me. The other
co-accused too have undergone a similar fate. Why not pardon them as well.
Sanjay Dutt, please cut the crap and serve your sentence.
Atleast, financially you’re in a much better state than most of your
co-accused. And as you proclaim in your Lage Raho Munnabhai movie, all great
people including Gandhi went to jail.
