Frankly speaking

A few weeks back, Aligarh Muslim University decided to introduce 50% reservation for Muslims in all courses. This decision had to be okayed by the HRD Minister Arjun Singh. Being the secularist that he is, Arjun Singh promptly gave the proposal the thumbs up. In an interview on NDTV last week he said, in a bit of frank speaking,
"... I can't make decisions based on whether they are legal or illegal."
.

A couple of days back on NDTV's big fight, the topic du jour was "Is secularism a political gimmick?", with the guests being Mani Shankar Aiyar ( Best Indian Ever), Rajiv Pratap Rudy, Seshadri Chari and Teesta Seetalvad. Mr.Secular Fundamentalist in a moment of lucidity claimed
"I am a better Indian than people of their ilk (Rudy, Chari etc) because I am Secular and they are not."
.

Henceforth Arjun Singh is Mr.Metalegal and Mani Shankar Aiyar is Best Indian Ever.
