CRIMINALS

The other day, we had been to the Agri expo 1977 fair. In one of the pavillions, some khadi clad V.I.P.s accompanied by the usual paraphernelia of chamchas and cops in uniform, walked in.

Since the faces were not quite well known locally, the question on the lips of all V.O.P.s like us was, ' Who are these people ? " As if sensing this, a small boy spoke out rather loudly, " Must have done something really bad ! Look at all those policemen following them everywhere !

FOOTNOTE :- Was he making a prophecy of the era of Anna Hazare when that became the common perception of the common man ?

Or was he making a statement of fact that we were then, not aware of ?

I donot know.
