Jarnail Singh’s act of throwing a shoe at the Union Home Minister P.Chidambaram has evoked strong feelings among many of us. It is true that there is a feeling of deep hurt among the Sikh community. Even after 25 years, the community is still waiting for justice. The woefully tedious judicial process in this country often leaves the common man frustrated and helpless. But since Jarnail Singh was attending the press conference in his capacity as a journalist of one of the leading dailies, I think he should have restrained himself.

Thank you for visiting my blog! Really like ur blog as well very sharp and incisive...Jarnail will now be a pawn in a much larger game.And that's so scary!!
You are right. The mainstream media is playing into the hands of the politicians by highlighting anything which is sensational. Development and citizen welfare hardly figure in the media these days.
