...And then yesterday, a beast amongst us slapped Arvind Kejriwal. It was ferocious. It was brutal. It was inhumane. It was meant to physically hurt. As AK held his face, it was heart-breaking. He had a black eye and a swollen cheek. This attack was not meant to prove a political point. AK retreated to Raj Ghat. And the BJP bandwagon took to the streets and launched their attack in a highly synchronized manner. They forgot humanity in pursuit of political affiliations. It was celebration time. The slap was a butt of jokes. AK was despised, derided, laughed at, attacked, and violated. It was appalling. Each time as I watched the slap, my heart wept. Is this the society we have come to be? Last night, My decision was made. There was greater clarity. I dont want a society where hatred wins over love, violence over peace, anger over amity, frown over smile, sternness over calmness, negativity over positive feelings. I dont want a society where the mobs decide the agenda cleverly planted by a handful people (we have seen it in 1984 and 2002). I decided. I will vote with my conscience. I will vote for peace. I will reject divisiveness. I will vote for change. I vote to bring in a good opposition in the parliament. I vote for AAP.
