As reported in the press, recently a disabled person was refused the delivery of a special vehicle, which was to be presented to him in view of his disabled status. The vehicle was denied to be presented to him at that time, because he arrived ten minutes late for the presentation and photo oppertunity. The elected representative who took this decision is said to have said that public must learn to arrive and time.
This was such a brilliant idea to exercise power and position to teach punctuality to a poor physically differently abled beneficiary of this scheme. But the million dollar question that begs to be asked is, does not punctuality apply to those who are elected or seeking elections ? I can recount thousands of occasions when thousands of suffering public have braved the sun and rain, waiting for hours, for nonpunctual elected or aspiring dignitaries to arrive for the meeting or the function which they have organised. The public can only hope that the elected and aspiring persons will take this excellent example set by this elected representative to heart , and follow the same dictum.
