Lalu Prasad has now been issued a notice by the Election Commission for his public remarks on Varun Gandhi’s speech against Muslims. It is perhaps wiser to take Prasad’s comment as a joke, and not as a literal promise for action. It is only a veteran politician’s humorous response to an improper statement by an immature politician who could one day become India’s prime minister. Lalu’s remark is perhaps in tune with what ordinary, right-thinking people feel about unnecessarily aggressive outbursts. Further, “barking dogs seldom bite”. If you want to kill somebody, would you announce it in advance?
