Jarnail's brave attempt

A complete different scene was seen on 07-04-2009 during a press confrence when home minister P.Chidambram received a shoe from a Journalist Jarnail Singh. Journalist Jarnail Singh is a special correspondent with Hindi daily Dainik Jagran. The incident took place when Jarnail Singh asked the home minister about clean chit given to Jagdish Taitler by CBI and P.Chidambram could not properly answer him. So, Jarnail Singh threw a shoe at the home minister but it did not hit him. Jarnail Singh was taken into custody at the time but after an hour, he was let to go as the home minister said that the move taken by the journalist was an emotional.

Jarnail Singh also apologized for his action. He said that his question was right but way was wrong.

But at this incident, I would say that whatever Jarnail Singh did was quite brave and right and he should not have apologised. It is the duty of the home minister to answer the queries of people and we,the people of India have developed the habit of staying quiet at the issues. We are not answered when we ask questions. Our voice is ignored and we even do not protest against it.We let the things as they are. We do not try to change the things. We let the politicians to rule our conutry and expolit it but this time the anger was out at the home minister. It was a very very brave step. But, Jarnail Singh should have taken the full responsibility of his action instead of apologizing.

Hope that the politicians will now realize that they just can't do away by not answering us. They will have to answer.

We want answers.............
