Politicians should stay at home if they feel threatened: Delhi High Court

https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/HC_to_politicians_Stay_at _home_if_you_feel_threatened/articleshow/2490454.cms

NEW DELHI: Observing they were not a "national asset"😛, the Delhi High Court on Friday took the politicians head on over having their security guards on tow when they step out and wryly told them to remain in the confines of their homes and offices if they feel threatened by citizens.😛

"You should not let these men (politicians ) to come out😛. Their presence in public places itself threatens the common men😛. I do not know why it has become a matter of prestige for them to move with 10-15 uniform security personnel carrying lethal weapon😛," a Bench comprising Justice T S Thakur and Justice Veena Birbal told the Centre.

The court made these harsh observations while expressing displeasure over the inconvenience the public have to put up by the overwhelming presence of security guards accompanying politicians at public places.😳

The Court's observation came while hearing a PIL on police reforms seeking separation of force into two wings to deal with law and order and Investigation independently.

In sharp remarks laced with sarcasm, the judges could not hide their dismay when they said "If these people feel so threatened they should not come out in public places."😛

The judges said they (politicians) were not a national asset 😛 which should be protected 😛 and if they were 😛, the citizens would protect 😛 and there was no need to be threatened by them (public).

"It has become fashionable and a status symbol😛. The more people(security men) surrounds these people(politicians) the more prestigious they feel😛. It is obnoxious that common men are forced to stay on the sidelines 😳 and are prevented to walk on the pavements 😳 when the politicians pass through", the Court said.

Arey baba😆, it's not a political issue as it affects the day-to-day life of the ordinary law-abiding citizens.😳😔
Whenever a VIP visits there are traffic jams / snarls.😳😔
The police commissioner of the city issues a press release banning the movement of traffic on certain roads.😕😳😔
In non-metros for instance (the city of Mysore where I live) the problem is even worse traffic is banned from dawn to dusk although the VIP convoy passes through that road just once or twice through those roads.😕😳😔
We're forced to take circuitous routes thereby leading to the wastage of our precious time and the exhaustible natural resource (petrol).😕😳😔
Sometimes every house is searched, its inmates are asked not to come out or open the windows and the doors.😕😳😔
Thanks for your feedback.😊😃

It's alright I respect your views/preference.😊😃😎

I'd like to clarify that searching of houses usually takes place in Delhi 😳 and I've not heard much about the searching of houses and closing of windows and doors in any other city including metro(s).😊

Mercifully, I haven't heard about it at least in my City where I live.😛😊

Probably it is done when these politicians / netas give public speeches if the residences are very close by.😕😳😔

For instance just before the Independence Day on Aug 15 every house that's very close to the Red Fort in New Delhi is searched from the PM's so-called security point of view and people are not allowed to come out or open their doors / windows as long his speech and other Independence related functions are over.😕😳😔
