On Saturday we witnessed the sight of many ministers leading tiranga yatras in their constituencies on the occasion of Independence Day. These drives were nothing but jingoistic actions disguised as patriotism. Two wheeler riders without helmets, riding triple and quadruple and creating a ruckus were swarming the roads putting many to inconvenience. The so called leaders themselves were hanging out of sunroofs waving the national flag across the road dangerously in order to prove their love for the nation. Will the much tomtommed AI cameras now issue automated challans to these lawbreakers? The answer is no, there are different strokes for different folks.
