Opportunism at it's best

Events over last two weeks have given democratic principles some rest it needed. Shiv Sena has shown us the way how democracy should function. The way to express regret over anyone's opinion, the way to protest against anyone's view is to attack the cinema halls, cause social disturbance, and to claim victory. Not only that, Congress has shown us how to use government agencies to their own political advantage. I do not say that they should not have given police protection to the cinema halls, in fact it is their duty to do so, but it was quite evident that Congress was trying to built its own image and at the same time deface that of Shiv Sena. They put SRK's controversy to the perfect use. In turn SRK allowed Congress to do that because he is fortifying his image of a star and also giving credibility to newly born "Indian" identity oh his own. Media is as usual being pre - decided as to who should be the "Bakra". Bottomline is that political wisdom has sustained the acme of its opportunism!
