Long live the Indian democracy, and the right to protest!
Anyone who tuned into news channel yesterday would know how chanting and shouting isn't just restricted to rock concerts, or cricket stadiums, it can also be used as an effective tool in parliament. I thought there was something wrong with my TV when I tuned into a news channel last night, with our honorable Home Min. reading out something while there was a group 'sloganeering' campaign going on across the floor. Couldn't hear a word of what min. was saying. Must say, to oppositions credit, they were very effective in ensuring that the telecast couldn't be used in news channels for 'highlights' of PC's speech. Says a lot for a 'debate', where one doesn't even want to the other party's view to be heard in public. Really, whatever will you do when someone's standing across you, shouting and chanting, when you are on national TV. Evict them? Tch Tch, that's just doesn't happen in democracy, right?
