Freedom of Choice to Sing

Appalling judgement of chronological record aside, the decision is a reflection of sheer lack of political acumen: it requires no rocket scientist to predict the outcome of such a sweeping move in a nation like ours, where religious sensibilities get offended at the drop of a needle. Incidentally, even as the Congress admonishes the minister today (who soon after realising the political repercussions of his ordinance began singing the mantra of freedom of choice to sing!), the whole pacification trip reeks of the quintessential ballot-saving subterfuge.
