Politics, V-Day, Commissions - Part - II ..

After FB finally manages to get L off his feet and stop all the Fs from throwing their footwear, he decides to go report this matter to the party head. He thinks it is necessary to conduct an enquiry into this incident to see why L was not doing any background check for any of the couples. They could not ask couples of all religions to get married at the temple, no? And what about inter-religious marriages? FB himself is slightly confused about this V-day policy. It needed fine tuning, he decides.
Meanwhile, the opposition party (and incidentally the party in power) comes to know of the same incident. After sharing a hearty laugh over it and thoroughly enjoying the embarrassment of FB, they decide they need to hold an enquiry too. How could such an event happen? In a state ruled by them? These elements were taking the law into their hands, they proclaimed. Lawlessness is not the way envisioned by Gandhi, Nehru and...
An enthusiastic new party worker cuts in to say Civil Disobedience was Gandhi's idea. He wants to show off his knowledge of his leaders but is brutally put in place.
Are we still under the British? Comes one sharp retort.
Do you consider FB's party civil? Asks another one. Then you might as well join them....
No no, the party worker hastily says. Lawlessness is not the way envisioned by our leaders....
The Commission for Welfare of Women who Come Under the Influence of Parties Who Want to Marry Them Off also decides to conduct its own enquiry. How could women be treated this way? How could couples who want to marry each other finally do so? Come on, no one can have it that easy!
Finally the reports of all three enquiries are released. FB's party statement says: We, the Party of the People (who are old, married to someone we don't really like and can't stand the sight of young people in love and happy) have held a detailed investigation into the incident and find that the party workers who threw the chappals are the only guilty ones. They had no right to throw them, and hence they shall be suspended.
The party in power says: We, the Party in Power (who loved the embarrassment of FB and couldn't care less about the bloody incident) have conducted a detailed investigation into the incident and hereby find the guilty to be FB, L and the party. [Pause so that this amazing revelation can sink into the minds of the egaer, imaginary audience] They shall be apprehended at the earliest (to be read as some future date that will never come).
The Commission (for everything mentioned above) says: We (who are not clear on what the purpose of all these commissions is) have conducted a detailed investigation into the incident and found that the guilty party is the priest in the temple who conducted the marriage. His registration of it does not come under Section Infinity of the Blah Law and hence he is responsible for the utter breakdown of law and order in this incident.
The media goes berserk reporting all this drama.
I, despite being sleepy and tired, want to write about it.
B and G ofcourse, are still happily married.

If I was a cartoonist, I would draw a Ram Sene supporter's caricature in front of the Ram Sene’s office, smiling heartily at a bundle of currency notes in his hand and an equally happy couple for getting them married against their parent’s wishes :) "Ram Sene Marriage Booking office, No marriage is impossible for us". Should make more money than Shaadi.com :D
