This Letter to the Editor appeared in today's Deccan Chronicle:
The sending of a DD for Rs 364 to Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal to buy footwear is nothing but a publicity stunt. No one raised an eyebrow when Mahatma Gandhi wore a dhoti and chappals to meet world leaders. Simplicity is what our country needs and not suit-boot. Hats off to Mr Kejriwal.

I didn't agree with this writer of the LTTE. So a few minutes back I sent a Letter to the Editor of DC contradicting the above letter. The chances of its appearing in tomorrow's DC are 1 to 100. So I am copy-pasting it here under:

By the way I love Arvind and his politics, sort of. Like me he is an alumnus of IIT KGP. He was a student there while I was a professor there. We never met though.
But I never wore a lungi folded up to my knees when I went to teach my students. It was ok for him and his classmates to come to their classes wearing bathroom slippers.

By the way, Dr Rasheed's 'suit-boot' is a cheap dig at our PM.

This a rejoinder to the Letter to the Editor titled 'Publicity Stunt' published in DC today. Arvind Kejriwal is no Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi was never a CM of Delhi nor PM of India. People representing the Government should follow the prevalent norms if they are not to stick out like sore thumbs.
