GandhiGiri ->GundaGiri ->GadhaGiri

If you are in Delhi you cant close your eyes to the ongoing sealing by MCD on the order by honourable Supreme Court of India. Few months back I was wondering what's the fuss all about.....you do something against the law you pay for it...but it took me some time to understand the real problem which is deep routed and a difficult one to solve. What does one do to correct the things which were done the wrong way decades back and at that time it didnt seem to harm anyone.....a lot of traders running the shops in the residential areas have been doing this for past 30 years when it didnt seem to bother the residents, infact it was a convenience to have a departmental store and a chemist across the road. But in last few decades the population in Delhi has increased manifolds ,so more pressure on the limited resources and hence a lot of voices with a lot of problems...No one knows what the solution can be. Government is worried about loosing its trader vote bank....SC has to enforce the law....MCD has to do what they are told to do by the SC and traders have to protest to protect their livelyhood....
The protest by the traders started with gandhigiri....people sent floweres with "get well soon" messages to the MCD office ( Indian cinema has so much influence on our lives :) ...MunnaBhai Rocks ).....But nothing happened so protesters resorted to violence .....burning a few DTC buses here and there....peddling stones on law enforcement agencies and stuff like that...The result was that Delhi govt and MCD told the SC that they cant continue with the sealing operation as they cant control the law and order situation resulting from their actions ( such a pity that we hear such comments from over government...Great work Sheila ji ). And now the result is that section 144 has been applied in Delhi so people cant even protest in a group....They have now gotten Donkeys to do their work.. Donkeys with anti sealing banners on then were scene in the city yesterday....Ha Ha Ha...So how can you stop someone from saying -"Hamare Desh ka Kuch nahin ho Sakta"
