Sanjay Dutt - the politician?

Review: Sanjay Dutt in his new blockbuster: Munnabhai ban gaya neta’man’
“I need jaadu ki jhappi from the people of Lucknow. I love the people here, and will do my best to work for them,” he said.
I only wish jhappis could win elections. Then Rahul Gandhi would get the highest number of jhappis from all eligible girls across the globe and voila! He would become the next prime minister. And whether or not I qualify to give him a jhappi, I definitely would not let go of the chance!!
Getting back to Dutt junior. The first paragraph statement was made by Sanjay Dutt’s when he landed in Lucknow today for a roadshow organised for his political debut. Wonder how many times Dutta has been to Lucknow other than his film shootings!! It is the ultimate gimmick unleashed by Amar Singh and his party. In an interview, Singh has said that Dutt had shown interest to contest elections, even though he did not know politics. Strangely, in an interview to TimesNow in Dec 2008, Dutt had said that he did not want to enter politics.
As a free citizen of a democratic country, I feel that both Dutt and Singh have made a joke of the democratic system.
Look at the man’s history –
1) He is an ex-drug addict
2) He married thrice – the first wife Richa Sharma’s family accused him of abandoning her when she was suffering from cancer.
3) His present wife has a dubious background
4) He was in jail for many months – first in 1993 and then again in 2006 for the Mumbai blast case
5) The most important being he’s still an accused in the 1993 Mumbai blast case and was sentenced to jail for six years in 2006. He has appealed in the Supreme Court and the case in sub-judis.
The “Representation of People's Act” in Sec 3 clearly states that people who have been accused under “offence of committing terrorist acts” do not qualify for contesting for any parliament seat. And Dutt has not been cleared of his charge yet.
Some people may ask, what about the criminals who already contest for elections? Well, that doesn’t give Dutt the right to do the wrong!! Or does it? After all he is a popular film actor and of course he knows Gandhigiri. So what if he has had a tumultuous past. We HAVE to give him a chance!! Right? I don’t even want to give a penny for the opinions of Dutts friends in the Mumbai film industry. All they moo about is “Baba is a great guy, very good at heart. He’s gone through bad times and he should be given a chance.”
Gimme a break!! There are scores of youth in the country who go astray. Does our society give THEM a chance? This Indian way of forgive and forget for film actors only just gets me so unnerved!!!
We are failing again as a country. During the terrible Mumbai terrorist attacks, the people stood up as one. Everyone protested against the terrorists from outside and the rot from inside. I guess everyone is back to their business of minding their own life. Sad and distressing!

Bejan Daruwalla has predicted that Dutt will lose the elections, but I think he will win. The reason – We voters are all lame-brained. I wonder how many attacks like the Mumbai one will wake us up and fight against these fraudulent, imbecile and crooked politicians and internal terrorists who will rule our nation tomorrow.
Kya mamu banaya by god!!

I agree that Dutt probably has never visited Lucknow except for some shoots or to meet his elder brother Amar Singh.

@Rajendran..It is more revolting about the comment he made on women not taking the husbands family name. It seems it would be disrespecting the MAN. Wow man!! how profound. Is that the reason he had divorced his earlier wives? Richa and Rhea did not take that Dutt surnames you see!!! I strongly feel, people should do what they are trained at.. Dutt should keep his mouth shut anddance around trees or at best get his wife to press his feet!!!
