Merchants of Death

Whether Mr.Modi and/or Mrs.Gandhi committed breach of election code is for the Election Commission to decide whose job alone it is.

Wheter Mr.Modi committed contempt of court by his Sohrabuddin speech is for the Hon'ble Supreme Court to decide who are seized of the matter.

Apart from the legal/codal dimensions, there is a moral dimension to the matter. Whether senior politicians like Mr.Modi and Mrs.Gandhi can indulge in such crass communal rhetoric, especially when matters are pending in courts, should be pondered upon.

Whether those who prescribe to the philosophy that 'when a tree falls, the earth shakes' have any right to speak about massacres?

Whether those who give safe passage to most wanted terrorist have any right to speak about terrorism?

Who are the merchants of death and who are not?

ponder...
