Chidambaram shows security is fine, thumbs nose at England!

Post by jayakris »

.. Well I am not sure he can prove a point with what he did at Hyderabad (because the security issue cited was for foreign players, not for Indian spectators), but it was a good stunt ..

PC buys ticket for WBC finals, watches from spectators gallery
Chidambaram's action seen as an attempt to prove a point that there is no threat to the premier event flew into Hyderabad by a scheduled commercial flight and proceeded in a private car to Gachibowli stadium, a 15-minute drive, unannounced. The Minister, who was without any security cover, was on a "private' visit to the city, official sources said in New Delhi ... The Home Minister bought a Rs 1,000 ticket and proceeded to watch the finals of the Championships from the spectators gallery before he was spotted by the tournament organisers ... Chidamabaram was asked to give away the prizes to men's champion ..
Whether he proved a point or not, I salute you sir, for caring enough to pull the stunt!
