A Sonnet of Heresy

Sunjay Dutt issue gets politically funny

Sunjay Dutt's verdict may have been out but it's just the start of a funny battle in the political arena over his verdit.

The Shiv Sena has always maintained Dutt is not a terrorist and supported him. Hence they were elated when Dutt was not convicted under TADA. But the BJP is quite vocal in its disapproval. They say this would be a factpr in their election agenda. So much for allies.

It takes a funnier turn as the Dutt household is very closely associated with the Congress, both Late Sunil Dutt and Priya Dutt being MPs from the party.

It would be interesting to see how Shiv Sena and the BJP sets right what could be a chaotic situation as the election approaches.
