In the eye of a storm for his “Jadu ki Jhappi & pappi” (magical hug and kiss) remarks, Sanjay Dutt on 22nd April apologized for the statement, saying the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister was just like a sister to him.
During an April 16 rally in Pratapgarh, Sanjay Dutt had said that he "will give 'jaadu ki jhappi and pappi' (magical hug and kiss) to the people of Pratapgarh and given a chance he will do the same to the Chief Minister and BSP supremo Mayawati".
Somewhere down the line it looks like a political gimmick, to publicize their party and party personalities. But the sad part is that sometimes such political gimmicks results in to violence affecting the lives of people, society and economy of nation.
October 2008 we witnessed the region and language based gimmick created by Raj Thackeray which opened violence against North Indians in Mumbai. But if this is the love of Raj Thackeray for Mumbai then where was he was hiding on and after 9/11 when Mumbai was openly attacked by the terrorists? Did any of you hear Raj Thackeray’s single roaring protest against the 9/11 terrorist act?
I loved the dialogue of last year release “Sarkar raaj” which says “India me logo ko development nahi tamasha chahiye (In India people are interested in dramas and not in development)”. Ask your fellow Indian citizens about politicians’ gimmicks and they will tell you but ask them about India launching record breaking space launch of 10 satellites in a single mission and most of them will be clueless.
It seems our politicians likewise our film makers know our taste so treats us cheaply and we too enjoy swinging around it. But can such swinging lead to joyful living?
