SC's Siddhuisms

text of letter sent to the press (unlikely to be published):

The Supreme Court's reprieve for Siddhu is most shocking, to say the least. What is even more shocking is the judges' use of 'Sidhuisms' in extolling his new-found virtues. Siddhu, however, is so far not known to have expressed even one word of remorse for his act which led to the death of an elderly person. Infact, he has been going to town flaunting the High Court verdict of 'culpable homicide, not amounting to murder' as some kind of an award, rather than the guilty conviction that it is. By continuing to back him, the BJP does not appear to have learnt its lessons from the changed mood in the country, today. Maybe the citizen's groups, whose campaigns led to the recent convictions of the highly connected murderous lot, should start a campaign against Siddhu also now.
