More on India’s Slapgate…

The slogan for years had been…
Congress ka haath aam aadmi ke saath.
Now with the slap on politician Sharad Pawar, the common man’s slogan is…
Aam aadmi ka haath Congress ke gaal ke saath.
(OK, OK, he’s from the NCP, but he’s still been a veteran Congressman for most of his professional life)

What’s with all these gates?
Shoegate.
Slippergate.
Slapgate.
Is it time to tighten the Securitygate?

Slapgate in Bollywood dialogues…

Karma (1986)
Sharad Pawar ko pahali baar kisi ne thappad maara hai, first time. Is thappad ki goonj suni tumne? Ab is goonj ki goonj tumhe sunai degi aur dikhai degi, jab tak TV channels chalte rahenga tab tak dikhai degi, sunai dega 24X7… ye thappad bhoolega kabhi nahi na ye desh na ye TV channels aur na ye viewers…

Dabangg (2010)
Thappad se dar nahin lagta hain sahab… actually thappad se hi dar lagta hain sahab!

Post script…
Tired of incidents of shoe and slipper throwing, someone decided, “Apna haath, Jagannath.”
