kmp writes in, in response to A Historic Trip? and the thickish smog of opinion surrounding the Advani episode, which includes many a post on this blog:
The spin doctors on either camp (for and against Advani) are busy spinning…
This spin doctoring is not a new concept, but, still time and again stumps the ordinary…For me, what Advani said was nothing more than ordinary. He just quoted some speech, and said he wanted “you” to be like this (tacitly saying, you are not that). That’s it, the event that followed remain totally unconnected (from the main context and among themselves)… Why should a debate on the character of Jinnah take place? And why should Advani be called a “traitor”? Why does he need to resign? Why does BJP have to make resolution (more than one) on not accepting resignation and Jinnah theory? Why did he take back the resignation? Why does that undermine his leadership skills?
Then people really started debating, now I don’t know who will be the referee and what will be the conclusion? They started comparing Jinnah and Advani himself, Jinnah and Savarkar, Jinnah and Nehru, Jinnah and Gandhi etc…
Now a new twist in this Telegraph link…
But all this till the Bihar elections gains momentum and thereafter everybody (perhaps except VHP) will forget Advani (err, Jinnah ) and get on with the life. For us it is another instance of Soap on TV.
Bihar elections. Could it be...? Why hasn't anyone spun that angle? No, I'm just kidding.
