Trivedi's cartoons disgrace corrupt politicians not parliament
People who have become self-styled custodians of the national institutions should understand that through his satirical cartoons, Aseem Trivedi hasn't brought disrepute to the parliament or national symbols but shown how corrupt politicians have turned them dirty for their personal gains.
PRESS COUNCIL chief Justice Markandey Katju’s comments to arrest concerned politicians and policemen behind the arrest of young freelance cartoonist Aseem Trivedi should be respected. Sedition is a charge which can and should be levelled only after asserting real intentions of the person.
It is indeed unfortunate that those projecting themselves to be saviour of institutions, have no respect for institutions like Press Council and CAG. After all institutions are made of persons present in these institutions, and expressing anger against presence of undesirables in Parliament by symbolising the institution in bad shape should be taken as disrespect to such undesirables present in the Parliament rather than the institution itself.
Maturity and creditworthiness should be exhibited by unconditional release of Trivedi by taking back charges against him with regret expressed over his arrest.

Well it has to be sir? Thugs and goons who have made majority of parliament are now getting scared for winning seat. They have seen how iron rod of election commission sent West Bengal left front go to their knees. So any work showing mocking at them are making them alert. Today Mahalnobis.tomorrow Trivedi day after tomorrow some x then y and so on will start publishing cartoons mocking at their failure. People will be ready and election commission iron rod will make them fall. So all of them together wanted a quick action to stop the tide.
