Reading Between the Lines - 31 - Chidambaram and the Virtue of Impotency

The Hindu, 01-11-2010: Chidambaram on Arundhati: Not taking action is also an action

P's C: Chidambaram says that not filing a case for sedition was in accordance with the letter and spirit of law. More precisely, this seems to be accordance with the letter and spirit of the spineless. If not taking action is also an action, this Home Minister would have his autobiography written entirely in pause mode.

Wearing white makes you a wearer of white, not a white of heart or a clear of conscience, if there be any for those in politics. Chidambaram has proved yet again, that some politicians are better of firing with words than resorting to clear action that will define leadership.

Well known for doing nothing more than making interesting sentences, our Tamil Tiger, nay, pussy cat, is better of tending to Italiah homes than guarding the letter and spirit of the Indian conscience.

Being articulate, yet ineffectual, is giving a donkey a mike. Both serve no purpose.
