The entire nation is taken aback by the language used by Union Law Minister Salman Khurshid, while talking about Arvind Kejriwal in a meeting (the Minister claims he was misquoted). The reported remark — “Let him come to Farukkhabad but will he go back?” — was outrageous. It is unbecoming of a person of his stature to use such language against a fellow citizen. Even more appalling is the nonchalance with which the Congress responded to this news. The party may ignore India Against Corruption but the nation’s image gets tarnished with every new exposé.

Mr. Khurshid who was known for his patience and composure is losing it all. His remark daring Mr. Kejriwal to visit his constituency is shocking. His behaviour during his press conference was also unacceptable. He is setting a wrong precedent.

Coming from the Union Law Minister, the veiled threat is unfortunate. It does not behove a Minister of his stature to use such language and lose his cool during a press meet. If the financial trust he heads has done no wrong, why should he be offended?

How safe is a common man’s life in a country where the Law Minister talks about replacing ink with blood? Mr. Kejriwal may be wrong but all he is asking for is a probe.

A Minister educated at Oxford is not expected to use such language. Is Mr. Khursid hinting at taking the law into his own hands? From 2G to Robert Vadra, the Congress is on the defensive. Mr. Khurshid has added fuel to the fire.
