Why ? Why ? Why ?

For many hours yesterday , on a number of TV channels , experts were asking :

Why,

Ø  Man Mohan Singh cow-towed before Rahul ?

Ø  Cabinet surrendered its supremacy to Sonia ?

Ø  Sonia kept quiet against son’s insubordination ?

Ø  Sushma Swaraj ( & Co ) did not oppose the bill initially ?

Ø  Milind Deora was silenced ?

Ø  Samajwadi Party wants the Ordinance passed – even as a Bill ?

Ø  Narendra Modi is deafeningly silent on the entire episode ?

Ø  Subramaniam Swamy feels dejected ?

Ø  Rajnath Singh is trying to corner all credit ?

Ø  Sharad Pawar was sulking with back-stabbing ?

Ø  Manish Tewari was just about to cry ?

Ø  Mahesh Jethmalani had no answer for Babulal Bokhadia ?

Ø  Ram Jethmalani called Rahul , an unlikely hero ?

Ø  Gurudas Dasgupta sounded “ holier than thou “ ?

Ø  Kapil Sibbal / Chidambaram hid from the media ?

Ø  Rahul failed to apologize to PM , in public ?

Ø  Arnab Goswami forgo his divine right to drown the voice of panelists ?

My own take of the entire episode :

Ø  Why keep asking the “ why “ ?

Ø  Why must we forever try to figure out the “ cause “ ?

Ø  Why are we obsessed with the presumed  ulterior “ motives ” ?

Ø  Why can’t we just be happy that the will of the people has prevailed ?

Ø  Why not let the future unravel itself ?

Ø  Why not rejoice with the outcome ?

Ø  Instead of merely speculating what will happen next , why not people – and media –assert themselves and speak up loudly about,

#   Political parties to be covered by RTI

#   Electoral Reforms

#   Women’s Representation

#   Jan Lok Pal Bill…etc

Let us send out to the corrupt – and power hungry – politicians , a  very loud and clear , “ Do or Die “ call  !
