Vajpayee will march for peas in Gujarat
Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee will participate in a peace march in violence-hit Gujarat.
Isn't that decisive of him? Thought the purpose of a march was to get the government's attention? Maybe even cause them to take some sort of action?
Vajpayee accepted a suggestion in this regard at a meeting of the NDA Coordination Committee which was convened to decide the strategy for Tuesday's Opposition-sponsored motion on the Gujarat issue in Lok Sabha.
Was that the dumbest thing they could come up with? They obviously weren't shooting for the smartest, were they? Or maybe it was the most cynical thing.
This was stated by NDA Convenor and Defence Minister George Fernandes who on Sunday led a peace march in Ahmedabad. Fernandes was of the view that peace march was a success.
It was? Did the killing and mayhem stop, even for an hour? Then it wasn't a success.
He said there were suggestions at the meeting that there should be more such peace marches.
As opposed to taking decisive and concrete action to round up the instigators, regardless of who they may be, reestablish order, and protect citizens from thugs in the future.

Cheeze. Did you ever notice how hard it is to type while holding your nose?
