According to Times of India report yesterday, MK did not miss either his breakfast nor lunch when he went on fast for the Tamil Srilankans' cause. The photograph accompanying the report was also quite re assuring what with so many coolers, comfortable bed, and all.
At his age and responsibilities of state, he should not undertake such adventures. Any mishap will not only be a loss to his family, party and state, it will result in a severe law and order problem which should be avoided.
MK is one of the senior-most politicians of our country who unfortunately preferred to confine himself to his state. People like MK, Mulayam, Chandra Babu, Jayalalita,have the potential for national politics. But got bogged down in State politics because of their insecurity. They cant allow the party to grow beyond their level of incompetence or family grip. Unfortunate. Hindi is also an ideological and practical barrier for them.
Only Pawar, Lalu and Mayavati have grown beyond their backyards and have national ambitions.
Srilankan problem can have a parallel in our Kashmir problem. Our politicians should tread carefully lest comparisons are made. National interests and not electoral gains should be the guiding factor.
