Delhi's Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal, who is now called the chief protestor is a madman. Yes he is a mad crazy actor and anarchist, because we do not expect our chief minister to organize protest rallies and sit-ins, we want him to sit in and relax. We wanted our chief minister to live in a certain way, dress in a certain way and conduct his life in a certain way. What is the demand of this madman? He is asking for the suspension of police officers who allegedly are neglecting their duty. Kejriwal as chief minister cannot suspend them because the Delhi police are not under the control of the Delhi government, they are under the supervision of the central government. That explains why he took to the streets of Delhi because the police have failed to act on behalf of rape victims. But various women's rights activists and the Delhi commission for women have sought action against the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for allegedly taking the law into their own hands. Who in India or the world would risk his political career for the sake of two nameless and unknown women? Probably no one, not even the most fervent champion of women's rights. Kejriwal is surely a madman. He is relying on the media for the transmission of his message, but the media in India is not controlled by the people. It is controlled by powerful interests, backed by politicians and corporations. We Indians are willing to talk big without contributing anything substantial to the welfare and well-being of common men. However, Kejriwal is a common man who is doing it the other way round. People come to power to earn status. He is in power because of common men and he wants to live and behave like them. He is changing the rules of politics. He is redefining democracy. He is challenging the status quo; an ordinary man taking extraordinary actions. Yes, definitely, we can declare him to be mad and crazy. Israrul Haque, Jeddah
