Sonia Gandhi very nexy day told him to shut up publically.


Typical Indian mindset:
If there is govt rule, we should never question its sensibility. If you cant follow it, find loophole/workaround/bribe or just break it.
If someone questions it, response should be "We are like that only. That is our rule, sir".

A better mindset:
Do we still need this idiotic rule? Can we repeal or modify it to make sense?
it's not that simple actually....the rule was not put in place because terrorists had a visa or not....it was put in place so that it becomes difficult for people coming in repeatedly to do recon or people coming in repeatedly to plan something of this nature in the future....

would it stop terrorists from coming into the country in the future????probably not....

would it make it more difficult to plan something in the future????probably....

either way, the rule was not perfect & caused inconvenience to many....the same can be said about many decisions this current government has taken or many other governments have taken around the world....something had to be done at that moment & it was....the rule was removed once other measures had been put into place....
