INDIAN EXPRESS (pg12, 19OCT2012),
THE PIONEER(pg08, 23OCT2012), AHMEDABAD MIRROR(pg21, 18OCT2012), PUNE
MIRROR(pg15, 18OCT2012).
Never before, we saw the Right of
Freedom of Expression being exercised to its best with politicians like Beni
Prasad Verma brazenly admitting that Rs 71 lakhs is too little an amount for a
union minister to embezzle followed by Digvijay Singh laying out the political
ethics of mutual back scratching by saying that congress had ample proof of
misappropriation against son-in-law of Mr. Atal Bihari Vajpayee but they’d
followed the unwritten law of not touching the family members of your
opposition and brushed everything under the carpet. BJP's stand against Robert
Vadra and Khurshid's wife isn't fitting in the jigsaw which drew this knee jerk
reflex from Digvijay Singh reminding BJP of their own elephants in the same
room. So far, such expressions used to be in the form of insinuations and
innuendoes but now it is no holds barred war of words or say an open threat to
close ranks else face the ramifications. Seeing all this, we’re getting a ray
of hope for the Right of Freedom of Expression for the commoner in true senses
in the near future.
