Why don't they feel ashamed?

While reading Shahnoor Wahid's column today (Aug.05), one thing popped up in my mind. That these "VIP jail returnees" would never ever feel slightest of shame for the reasons they were sent to jail. I asked myself "Why?" Why don't they feel ashamed ? Are they better humans than we are? Have they reached the stage of "Nirban" like other Mohamanobs? What sort of characteristics make them so shameless? If I were sent to jail( God forbid !) for even an hour, my family would never let me enter my house again. Not any one in my neighbourhood would garland me for spending a night in jail. But as Shahnoor Wahid has pointed out the "amjanata" will stand by the side of the road to garland these thieves. People will dance at their return, even knowing very well that these thieves and crooks have drained out the very lifeblood of the "amjanata". I do not think I would be wrong if I say that the problem lies with us. We should have been throwing stones and showering garbage and old shoes on the "returnees". But what do we do?
The VIP jail birds (and I feel good that they will not read this letter either!) know the spineless character of those who are supposed to stand up against their wrong doing. So the returnees go on treating the amjanata with their old shoes and throw garbage speeches whenever and wherever needed.
We have been treated as such for the last 37 years. How long will this go on?
