I think the case of Sidhu is the same as Salman Khan, who mowed down poor men sleeping on the pavements or that Nanda (son of an arms agent) who killed a police man ...

Allowing a select class of people rights of speech that are denied to others is tantamount to creating a class of nobility. <BR/><BR/>The rights of a member of parliament spring from their status as representatives of people - and hence their free speech is not theirs, but that of the constituents they represent.<BR/><BR/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26661019.post-1165211654702478462006-12-03T21:54:00.000-08:002006-12-03T21:54:00.000-08:00Dear Nandhu,I think the Sidhu story is different f...Dear Nandhu,<BR/>I think the Sidhu story is different from Soren's. in that, Sidhu ended up causing the death of someone long before he even thought of becoming an MP and in the legal sense too, it was not a case of intentional murder. Soren has been pronounced guilty of intending to murder and having murdered with an intention to murder. <BR/>This is not to say that the BJP is a party of saints.Krishna Ananthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00381406646193846769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26661019.post-1165101922077125662006-12-02T15:25:00.000-08:002006-12-02T15:25:00.000-08:00Sidhu, set to lead the BJP campaign in Punjab, is ...Sidhu, set to lead the BJP campaign in Punjab, is now found guilty of unintentional murder. murder all the same. and Sushma Swaraj is trying to justify this and differentiate it from Soren's conviction. if BJP had been in power, Sidhu could have been a minister, say sports minister. What right does the BJP have now to raise such a clamour?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
