MK Gandhi’s tried and tested weapon is fast turning into the favoured (flavoured?) weapon of the day for the damned, con-damed and dam-ning ’uns. But has anyone in the pro-dam lobby figured out the logic, if not the reason, behind Modi’s magic figure of 51 hours? It’s a half-decent figure for a batsman, we all know, but why just 51 hours after Medha Patkar came Soz near yet oh-so-far from scoring a point with her 180-plus hours?
But, heard the latest about other good souls planning to go hungry?
Mamata Banerjee: demands all Communists in Bengal be ordered to fast unto death by Election Commission.
All Indian Communists: demands Common Minimum Programme be made a proper noun, and then an active verb, by the Manmohan government.
LK Advani: wants ordinance to make rath yatra mandatory for all BJP leaders before every election.
Sourav Ganguly: wants Supreme Court to ban Dravid, Veeru, Dhoni, Kaif, Yuvi, Raina, Pathan, Uthappa, Powar, Bhajji, Agarkar and all other possible contenders for the opening slot under POTA. Additional demand: Chappell should be made the Aussie coach.
Salman Khan: wants lifelong supply of free vests (strictly jaali-wala baniyaan) for pro-poaching, pro-hit-n-run and pro-Ash-trashing activists. (Breaking news: Threatens to call the bhais if asked to eat poached omelettes ever in his life.)
Chidambaram: wants foreign investment in all sectors, including sensex and post-marital sex.
Amar Singh: wants all/anything/nothing/whichever applicable of the above. (Last heard, sensing hands from 10-Janpath in all the fasting demands, ends his fast-unto-wealth.)
