Colourful Varunbaba

Well, it’s an untold truth that politicians are like chameleons. They change colours by the minute.
So when animal lover Maneka Gandhi’s son Varun suddenly started espousing the cause of non-violence, I’m sure many people would not have been too surprised.
Just a few days ago, he managed to get bail following his incarceration over some caustic remarks that he allegedly made against a section of non-Hindus. He allegedly wanted to cut off those hands that were raised against the Hindus. I wonder if he was talking about the ‘hand’ of the Congress.
I’m sure the proponent of non-violence — Mahatma Gandhi (God bless his soul) — must be turning in his grave. Sadly, he also shares his surname with this youngster who has now filed his candidature from Pilibhit in Uttar Pradesh.
