Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

Agree with your view, but it is difficult to 'sack a judge'. Justice Mitting has something of a reputation in these matters.

Some of his reasoning below.

The charming Bal Thackeray "expired" today, he will be missed by all bigots throughout India?

He coined the phrase, in the full glare of the media.................


The only good Pakistani is a dead Pakistani (referring to cricket, for heavens sake) as a forming member and leading light of the Shiv Sena.

He will clearly be missed by both his true followers, the rest of humanity should be forming grave-dancing teams.

And throughout his lifetime of activity, despite his appalling "principles", no government, Congress or Fascist..........oops sorry BJP, had the guts to condemn him.

The world is a slightly better place tonight :thumbsup:
