I totally agree with Mr King, but just my two-bits: there is no 'e' in awful. Incidentally, does Pak have laws against assault and battery, or can all incensed persons take it upon themselves to beat-up anyone? In Parliament, no less!
Please let me bring this to your notice that the headline that you chose to display the news article is highly objectionable. That guy mentioned in the article is a pakistani national and so it hardly makes any difference if he is a Hindu or a muslim. Secondly he deserved the beating that he receieved, it would have been the same had he been in India also. I have been of the opinion that rediff.com is a place to find neutral articles and views from all quaters, but it seems that you have hiered some journalists from AAJ-TAK who unnecessarily project the things in wrong perspective. The title should have stressed more on punishment that the member got for the offence rather than suggesting that he belonged to a perticular religion. Please refrain from such journalism.
What relevance does Iswar Lal's HINDU faith have to the alleged or real case being mentioned here? Would you DARE say "Muslim lawmaker beaten up" or "Christian..."?
