Firstly I would like to clarify that this has nothing to do with the former president. He is one of the few politicians I have great respect for. This post has more to do with the guidelines given to airlines.
The news item states that VIP's and VVIP's have to be exempt from security checks. I wish to disagree on this because all VIP's are humans too and its quite possible for them to go in the wrong path.
Also, considering the number of criminal cases pending against some of our bureaucrats (like the famous Pappu Yadav) I see no reason why they should not be risked. I mean, its all the more reason why they should be frisked!!
Let me make it clear that I'm for frisking of VIP's, both Indian and foreign.
Talking about politicians, let me digress a bit about the kind of treatment they receive here. Its insene that all traffic has to come to a standstill if they're passing by. They should be in the same traffic to realize what the common man goes through everyday. As picturized in a Tamil movie, the road traffic comes to a halt cuz a politician's plane is passing!!
This is the kind of privileges they get (or rather DEMAND). Honestly, they don't do enough to deserve this.
God help us
