Yes, this is a political obituary to LK Advani. His political career is all but over. Just that that he is yet to announce it. After what we saw on TV yesterday and today it is a foregone conclusion. He stands discredited and exposed as a man who has lied to the nation about the hijacking of IC 814 to Kandahar. And now he has no option but to resign not only from his post as leader of opposition in Lok Sabha but from his parliamentary constituency as well.
Tell you what? It is just fine with me that we were partitioned because I’m not so sure whether we would have remained as one nation even for a few years more after 1947. We would have encountered resistance from Balochis, SIndhis, section of Punjabis, may be even Bengalis, Tamils or Kannadigas and God only knows who all. And take it from me there would have been many more riots between various religious and regional groups.
It is rather ironic that today’s Times of India carries an article on what is called ‘The Lotus Effect’. According to this article the Lotus plant produces wax on it’s leaves because of which water and dirt particles glide off it’s surface making the plant clean. Symbolically, BJP may seem to indicate that Jaswant Singh’s expulsion may have left it a bit more clean than what it was though I may not agree with this entirely. Now whether Jaswant Singh represents a dirt particle or water is for anyone to guess, although BJP treated him as dirt.
