Government kept the real identity of its MPs as a secret for many years
UPA Government took a serious dig on a senior Congress Leader and West Bengal Chief Minister for leaking the inside information that India's few key people are animals and not real human beings.
"I would like to object on the statements made by Hon leader Mani Shankar Aiyar and Mamata Banerjee for addressing the key Indian people in their real avatar and revealing the confidential information across the masses," said Manish Tewari, Minister of State of Information and Broadcasting.
Manish Tewari who also handles a precious post of spokesperson for Congress Party said "The information that we kept as secret for so many years couldn't have been disclosed that easily. The information was confidential to save the society from unrest. However, it was really unfortunate for us that Mani Shankarji revealed important government information by calling opposition MPs as animals. It is also shameful that Mamata Banerjee opens up government secrets in such a casual manner."
Earlier, senior Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar called opposition MPs as animals while another small regional leader (these days) and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee found calling Markandeya Katju as 'Dog'.
These statements drew a serious debate in India over the Law of Confidentiality and disclosing the real race of the politicians which is totally prohibited under the Indian Act -----.
"I don't believe that sensible leader like Mani Shankarji would do such thing," said Suhel Seth, an Indian intellectual in an India Debate organised by Rajdeep Sardesai.
He made his point "See, I think every animal has his private life and he doesn't want to get exposed in the society as chance of degradation increases."
Another intellect and famous ad Guru, Prahlad Kakkar said he was totally surprised to see Mani Shankar leaking the important government documents.
"I am not surprised what Mamata said. She loves to say something. But she should also be careful in disclosing important information in the society. But this Mani Shankar, he could have really kept his mouth shut," said Kakkar.
Opposition party leaders busted on Aiyar for his statement and asked senior minister Kapil Sibal to draw a special law of keeping the identity of all the leaders as private and seriously confidential.
"We demand an arrest of Mani Shankar under IT and Animals Identity Disclosure Act for revealing the truth and degrading us by talking in a derogatory way," said Arun Jaitley, senior leader of BJP.
Social activist turned Politician Arvind Kejriwal said "I had pledged to show my voters the actual and real faces of politicians, particularly MPs but Mani Shankar Aiyar theft our agenda and leaked the documents. I seriously condemn this act of leaking documents and disclosing truth before us."
