Nip the monster in the bud!

It runs in the blood. It is the upbringing. Deadly combo of genetics and environment.
Seems easy to sum it up when it comes to describe the recent hate spitting attitude of Varun Gandhi. I would say unequivocally that the problem lies in the mother. Yes, Menaka Gandhi probably lost out when the little fellow was still in his short pants.
Dad Sanjay was no saint. On the contrary, he was seen closer to the devil than to Mother Teresa. And his escapades are all too well documented and preserved. The lad has probably inherited some of the genes-some visible now…more at a later stage!!. Rest added by the environment.
The speech delivered by Varun reflects poorly not only on the guy but his family. One learns the basic lessons of etiquette from the family. The public picture is a reflection of ones personal basics. Ma Baker…oops sorry..Ma Menaka should have drilled some fundamental truths in the young man before he started venturing outside his house. Once outside, the Satan took over. Varun needs to be told clearly that that is not expected of the great grandson of Jawahar Lal Nehru. His rich heritage has taken a bashing today.
Varun is a spoilt brat, we all knew that. But when his Mama(uncle) confirmed it, it was sad. According to the Mama, the guy has been targeting not only the Muslims but the Sikhs also!! And why when his mother is one?? He feels that since his grandma was shot by the Sikhs , all Sikhs need to be hated and picked upon. Indeed a pity.
And look at the damage one irresponsible speech of his has done? The nation could face a situation where lines could be drawn on communal lines. An immature 29 year old foolish and impetuous character could be opening another box of hate and venom. And for what? What does he gain? A possible seat in the parliament? He needs to be told that the route he is opting for is treacherous and risky and could even lead him into political wilderness rather than the parliament. As he said, “ I am a Gandhi, a Hindu and an Indian- in equal measure”. Why the need to stress the triangle? Saying that I am an Indian would have been good enough. But his inclusion of Gandhi and a Hindu first belies that he is Indian the last!! So much for patriotism!! By including Hindu in his statement he proved that he is on the hindutva agenda. Normally, I would not even notice the tilak on the forehead- it a sign of sagacity . But after hearing his poisonous, venomous, malicious and noxious outburst, suddenly the screaming tilak became a very integral part of the whole scheme. Aggressive , no holds barred Hindutva.
And the Election Commission needs to act. Not just bark. But bite too. Send a clear message to one and all. India does not tolerate those who sow the seeds of hatred and division. Yes, irrespective of lineage and/or party. Even the political parties should set their own moral and ethical codes. No party should allow politics of hate, division. Nation comes first. Candidates can spar with their opponents, their parties. Expose their incompetence. But we stop when national honour comes in. Nation division not allowed at all.
The citizens of India need to dump such characters without any emotions. And the press and TV channels need to do the same. No footage at all. Blank out such people who dare to split and maul our Mother India. They feel like national personalities….all over the headlines!! This brings pleasure to them. Let us stop giving them satisfaction.
The voters should trample all those who fight the ugly way. The lava of hatred should be returned back to the sender. Let him burn in his own doings. Indian voter needs to wake up to those creepy characters who are bereft of values, principles and values. The voter should punish such people by exposing them in totality. They should not only ensure their defeat at the hustings but the margin of defeat should make them bow their heads in shame.
And yes, God willing, this will be my first and the last piece on the son of Sanjay and Menaka Gandhi
