Ordinary janata in Delhi were doing fine during the dharna, except for the metro train station shutdown. It was the big netas who were getting irritated. TV channels reported that the HM S.K. Shinde was called into meeting at Rahul G's place. That's how the things moved.

Why transfer or suspend officials who are culprits? Suspension = paid vacation as I see. If some are dismissed from service, say 0.5% of the workforce, others will get up and act straight. Cant it be done? The rules are made to help netas and babus. AK is right in saying that its not the rajneeti that's done, its the dalalgiri that's been practiced.

Number of personal attacks, folks! As you know that is not allowed on this board, so please stay way from doing that.

Going back to the topic.

You guys are strongly advising that one should change the laws on the streets and protest is the only way.

You also say the India is indeed the most dangerous place in the world unless and until the AAP taking it over completely.

Other than laughing out loud, what more I have to say.

And I can easily assume that once the police is under AAP there will not be a single rape the rape capital of India. Very very good, go ahead and vote for that party en-mass.

I wish in Canada the same logic should be applied. A crazy minister like Bharti, can a get a complain from unknown sources that a immigrant dominated apartment has sex and drug racket going on. He goes there, calls camera, calls police. At the same time two-three women of South Asian origin coming in a car. He and his gang without warrant enters apartments and hand-cuffs the residents and force those women to give urine samples. All these without any warrant.

Ready for that? Good Luck with your mentality.

The details of Kejri called Victory

New Delhi: When Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal declared the end to his anti-police protest in the heart of the city, he marketed it as "a victory for Delhi" even though his demands were left largely unmet. In fact, the announcement was preceded by hours of negotiations which made it clear that Mr Kejriwal's street politics were, in this case, falling short on dividends.

The large swathes of supporters his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) was expecting were missing; the cold and gusty winds were taxing the health of the already unwell chief minister; and union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde was determined not to make any sudden moves. (Pics)

The strategy came through. Mr Kejriwal called off his signature move - a sit-in - with marginal gains. He had threatened first a 10-day and then an infinite protest if the Home Minister didn't suspend five police officers Mr Kejriwal has accused of negligence. The chief minister also sought the reassignment of the police force to the Delhi government; it is controlled by the union government via the Home Ministry. (Delhi police file case against Arvind Kejriwal's sit-in)

After 33 hours that left the capital grappling with traffic jams, closed metro stations, and the prospect of inadequate security checks for Sunday's Republic Day parade, this is what Mr Kejriwal won. (If it's a face-saver, it's one that Delhi gains from: AAP's Ashutosh)

Two of the five police officers targeted by him were asked to proceed on paid leave, and an inquiry against the group was fast-tracked. (Partial success, but principles more important: AAP)

By 9 am on Tuesday, Home Minister Shinde had been briefed by the Delhi police and the Intelligence Bureau that Mr Kejriwal's protest was drawing a smaller crowd than AAP leaders had expected. Mr Shinde told his officials that he would not suspend the police officers signaled out by Mr Kejriwal. He asked for regular updates.

The Home Ministry then shared its assessment with the union government's representative in Delhi, Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung, and asked him to reach out to the leaders of Mr Kejriwal's AAP.

The Lieutenant Governor invited AAP's Yogendra Yadav to lunch and shared that the union government would not sign off on Mr Kejriwal's wish list.

About two hours later, the riot police posted at Mr Kejriwal's sit-in clashed with AAP supporters, who hurled stones and tried to storm through barricades. Appeals by AAP leaders to demonstrate peacefully were ineffectual. With the lurking possibility of more violence, Mr Yadav briefed Mr Kejriwal on his lunch discussion.

The Lieutenant Governor then phoned Mr Kejriwal to emphasize the centre would not yield.
Around 4 pm, Mr Kejriwal called a meeting of AP leaders in the 'AAP-mobile", his blue Wagon-R. They reportedly decided that they needed an exit route from the demonstration.

At 5.30 pm, it was decided that the Lieutenant Governor would provide the eject button with a statement announcing that two policemen were proceeding on leave and promising a swift inquiry.

At 6 pm, AAP leaders met in the Press Club and agreed this was acceptable.

At 7.30 pm, Mr Kejriwal concluded his demonstration. (Arvind Kejriwal calls-off sit-in that gridlocked Delhi)

And yet this unprecedented. A corrupt Police Force shielded by an Opposition political party @ the Centre had to yield in ..... Do you recall what Delhi Police and Congress had done in case of Ramdev's rally 2 years back ??

In the mid of night the Police gathered and lathi charged sleeping citizens of the country at the behest of Congress just because they felt that Ramdev was siding with BJP ....

In protest to the rape last year , there were thousands of Police to be seen in Delhi .. but on the night of the rape there was not even a single one despite the bus passed through 6 check points ...... Why ?? Because they were busy collecting bribe from others .

It is a known fact that crimes like prostitution and brothels are run after a Police get their cut out of it ... If you witness on the streets , Police slap , beat up people w/o warrant , and arrest innocent people for no reason if they so fancy.

There needs to be an accountability which should be towards the people of the place .... If there s a crime committed in Delhi , Delhites should get accountability not the Centre .

And accountability is what Arvind Kejriwal has asked for .... Dharna may have inconvenienced some but there s no cure without effort and pain and I m sure had the Police not prevented
people from coming to the venue , there would have been thousands more ....Accountability will reduce crimes ...no luck needed for that .

Lets not forget - it takes a strong corageous & a driven man to take on huge forces especially when he knows that he does not enjoy a majority in the House.... But it appears that he
is obviously supported by the public who have voted for him and would vote for him in majority if a re election takes place . The other parties are obviously trying to down play him.

I think anybody who wishes for betterment , should give him a fair chance .... his actions may be radical but he is spot on in his intent .

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fido.

Mind you , the Metro stations would have been closed so that enormous public may not reach the venue .. which would have shown further support for AK.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fido.

If the idol of AAP Party is "Chun Chun Ke Marenge", then god bless India. If you call few 100 people gathered as a huge crowd to celebrate just go an celebrate.

Being spot on intent is not always a good quality. You are considering Kejri good person and can justify his actions. What if the person with different intent - like throwing a bomb to parliament - puts into action what would happen?

My dear friend, whim of a single person doesn't count in democracy. Yes a person is entitiled to create awareness, can go for legal means to change things, but taking law in his hand is something can't be tolerated in a civil society.
