The news channels showed jairam ramesh, minister of state for environment and forest holding a python during the inauguration of the snake interpretation centre at the vanvihar national park in bhopal on saturday and other officials donning the role of a ‘sapera’, displaying snakes as if they had given birth to reptiles. The usual clamor followed of violation of some wildlife act. Funnily and sadly, it was the same jairam ramesh who announced that committee would look into acts of balasaheb throat, maharashtra agricultural minister, who had entered a tiger cage and caressed and patted a cub. Of course, the committee would have sat over and gulped chais and samosas and closed the affair. Of course, ‘politicians’ cannot survive in society but by reciprocal concessions (to modify johnson’s quote).
More comic was the defence presented by digvijay singh to save throat; interpreting the provisions of wildlife act, diggy raja pleaded that, “patting is not molestation”. k.p.s gill should have known the potentials of diggy raja and hired him as defence counsel in bajaj case.
