We have accepted DEFEAT for the objective of this petition, but people are still signing to show their displeasure at the humiliation and assault on the self respect of Indian citizens. The next time a MP slaps a citizen less than 25 times there will be no action: this is the unwritten law of the land, and the benchmark has been set. No apology from a MP. Attaching the letter which is being passed on as an apology. Many of us have shared this petition with all their contacts. Even now this this protest may register with the government: If 10000 own it and request all friends to do the same. Do we have the persistence to make this so big that it gets heard by the deaf? Probably this is my last update on this petition.
