Had got up on the dot. Let Lekha catch up on some more sleep as I went about lighting the lamp, opening up the windows and the gate. We went about our chores and were ready well within time. Today, the washing machinex was repeated as there were bed linen as well as our clothes that we'd worn over the last couple of days - actually, had wanted to lessen the maid's efforts.
The first week of January is gonna see the Supreme Court's deliberations on the Ayodhya imbroglio. Hope a satisfying judgement - to all the concerned parties - is handed out so that the vexed issue is behind us, once for all.
Shatrughan Sinha - peeved since long along with Yashwant Sinha and Arun Shourie for not having made ministers have made mention about a 'one man show' and 'two man army' against Narendra Modi and Amit Shah. Shashi Tharoor and the Congress find it fit to have him release the former's book as he's critical of the duo and to take political mileage - if any, from his senseless ramblings!
No one, from any quarter, has reacted to the Karnataka chief minister's call for murder. Have we, as a society, become so insensitive to atrocious things that are taking place around us? Why are we scared to call a wrong, a wrong?
Tailpiece.
It's estimated that over 26 lakh believers participated in the 'Ayyappa Jyothi' programme organised by the Sabarimala Karma Samithi, in association with the various Hindu organisations and the BJP, this evening. The programme demanding protection of the Sabarimala traditions, was organised for 15 minutes from 1800 hrs. The following were the highlights:-
(a) Around 180 Hindu organisations constitute the Sabarimala Karma Samithi.
(b) Women outnumbered men.
(c) The devotees stood side-by-side along the 765 km stretch with the lamps.
(d) The line started from the Hosangadi Sri Dharma Sastha temple in Kasaragod and ended at
Kaliyikkavila.
(e) Held as a counter to the state government-sponsored Women's Wall on 01 Jan.
The volunteers headed for the Ayyappa Jyothi were attacked by CPM followers at Kannur. The party is under strain and one also needs to take note of the fact that the Ayyappa Jyothi was a grand success even when it had no resources available from the state coffers, no forceful participation of government employees and no threats of dire consequences for non participation!
