No Way On Earth!

I have a nice new name for Sanjay Dutt, dopehead. And that is exactly all of what he is. I was disgusted by his desire to contest the elections, and his recent words have just left me more disgruntled with him than ever before. To quote some of his pearls of wisdom, here is an extract from his interview.

Girls who become part of a new family after marriage must assume their new surname and all the responsibilities that come with it.

Is that a message to Priya ?
That’s a message not just to my sisters, but to all girls who hang on to their parents’ surname. It’s become fashionable these days. But I strongly feel that doing so disrespects the person they’ve married.

Those are strong words.
This may sound harsh, but if Manyata had said that she wanted to retain her father’s surname, I would’ve felt offended.

So here are the thoughts of our up and coming politician on what married women should do. Of course they should show respect to their husband and his family and take his name, they are not a person on their own, and definitely are ill-mannered if they don't change their surname post marriage. At least this ex-TADA convict thinks so, and for some reason we should all listen. Would not have mattered really, but the fact that he is coming up to contest an election, makes all this very relevant. Some women, like Renuka Chowdhury and Girija Vyas reacted to it saying it is unconstitutional to say so. But it does not just seem enough.

If this is the mentality of a so called, upper class man, who wants to contest elections, and even if unknowingly, he has bared his true mentality here, it is nothing, if not nauseating. I am not really surprised that it comes from a drug addict and a criminal, but it is unacceptable to have him contest elections.

This man is friendly with the underworld. There has been enough proof to that effect. We know that he is a crook, a drug addict. There are just no two ways about it. He is pals with the people who orchestrate terrorist attacks on India, is it not plainly dangerous to let him or his wife enter the political arena? This person possessed an AK47, which he has illegally procured and he claims that he wants to help people. How can we even imagine fighting terrorism as a nation, if we allow well-publicised buddies of the miscreants contest for parliamentary seats. (And I don't give a damn about how many brothers the filthy Amar Singh has, their personalities or their life's issues. And if Amar Singh does not shut up his mouth soon, I might just shove a handful of sand in there.)

So here, today I am starting a STOP SANJAY DUTT effort, hoping that fellow Indian bloggers will join in and prevent this disaster awaiting to happen. Please spread the awareness, don't take it lightly and speak about it or blog about it. Please, please do support this, to keep India safe.
