Mr. Arun Jaitley, a political stalwart,proudly enjoying the privilege of being called the “Think Tank” of his party, can stoop so low and speak so irresponsibly and unconscionably, really stunned me.
I wonder, How can he be the “Think Tank”. He has not thought before he spoke.
Even in normal circumstances one thinks twice before making a statement.
But this political giant never thought it to be so important.
May be he did’nt do it intentionally,but whatever he said was something which needs to be condemned very strongly.
If you are making a statement in public or in a forum,you ought to do some home work and keep your cool while deliberating. You have also to be careful and unhurried in your speech.
“Think before you speak” , It looks, does’nt apply to him. Perhaps he thinks that he holds a position where he is free to utter anything he thinks is in the larger interest of his country and the audience will accept it, even if it hurts the sentiments of the people and even puts the image of the country in jeopardy.
Any unfortunate incident of crime against women, needs to be strongly condemned and its mention should not be made in public, so cheaply.
This is really painful.
We ought to raise our voice against crime,but should not use it for ulterior motives, even if it relates to any sort of development, for that matter.
It should not be highlighted while discussing issues confronting the country, even if it happens to have some kind of an impact, directly or indirectly, on the same.
Country comes ‘First’, But respect for women is “Supreme”
Crime against women is a sensitive issue and needs to be dealt with utmost responsibility and a sense of belongingness and humane emotions accompanied by compassion, benevolence and humanistic values.
So, Mr. Jaitley when you said and I quote a part thereof, “A ‘small’ incident of rape….” unquote. You have not said it with all your thinking abilities at your command.
This is very very hurting.
Well, Mr. Jaitley you owe an unconditional apology, not only to the person about whom you spoke, not only to her parents and well wishers, but to the Nation as a whole.
And, I am sure a person of your stature will not waste a moment in doing so.
Please uphold the values of Humanity.
