Meenachi Indian: I did not know whether to laugh or cry when I read the headlines of a Tamil vernacular daily a day after the attempted murder charge was dropped against the Batu Caves 31.
The paper's headlines congratulated MIC president S Samy Vellu for a job well done. The article which followed claimed that Samy Vellu had successfully bargained for and obtained the AG's Chambers to drop the charges.
In their desperation to prop up Samy Vellu's flagging popularity, his spin doctors had made the AG come across as a Samy Vellu lackey.
And of course they have also successfully managed to make the senior politician appear to be a clueless imbecile.
Anyone worth his or her salt would know that the charge cannot stick as no one knew who threw the rock which cracked the policeman's head.
It is hard to understand as to why Samy Vellu's spin doctors ran the article even after AG Abdul Gani Patail had clearly stated that his decision was strictly based on a point of law and that he was not doing anyone any favours.
