I am no doubt disappointed that fantastic wrist stroke player in the world should stoop down to the nasty gutter of bribery and cheating. But compare him with the cases of worst scandals that India has seen. Compare this to Harshad Mehtha’s scandal, Jayalalitha’s corruption... this is nothing and way apart. This does not mean that he should not be punished for his misdeeds. But are we right in punishing this man alone who was once a mark of glory. Definitely not. I would have strongly recommended this if only he had admitted it the moment he was caught red handed or atleast dint speak up about his minority status and that of being victimized. Unfortunately, it was not so and I am now feeling foolish to support him though my heart goes out for him when I relive the memories of his master craftsmanship.
Yes he did commit a blunder, but do we have to go to the extent of calling him an anti national. No we can not especially when there are far more influential people who have contributed to the crumbling of national economy, threatened the security of the country. He did not do a crime of this magnitude. So why not forgive him and appreciate his crafty game.
I do agree about the guilty getting punished. So we shall confiscate his property and help the millions of needy people this is more meaningful in the context of the nature’s fury in Gujarat. So Guys instead of condemning him let us appreciate his skill and give him a chance to salvage his pride. If not giving a second chance (that is so rare in this world), atlest let us stop ridiculing him.
