The opening of Bandra- worli sea link to 4 lane traffic will be a boon for travellers as it will save time. At the same time, the ruling party headed by Chief Minister Ashok Chavan has created an awkward and embarrassing position by picking an argument as to who invited the Big B for the inaugural function and the high command seeking clarifications from the chief Minister. Politics have nose dived to a new low in Indian History! The Chief Minister claiming innocence about not knowing the participation by the legendary Amitabh Bachan does not deserve appreciation at all. In fact, the congress should know that Amitabh Bachan has been a Mumbaikar and has carved a niche for himself as an Icon of the Film Industry and the Nation for that matter? Inviting an Athithi(guest) and later creating an unwarranted controversy by the local congressmen does not go well with the party or its political ambitions. Its time the politicians look at the big B as an Icon of the country and not belonging to any political outfit. The congress should also know that they derived benefits out of him a quarter century back when he was elected as a Member of Parliament from Allahabad constituency and represented Congress. It is idiotic to question his participation specially when he did not come on his own and was invited by a Minister in the Congress! The function got the star status with the presence of the Big B and the politicians must understand it. The timing of the newly released film Athithi tum kab Jaoge matches well with the treatment meted to this great man who stands much more taller than any Indian Politician! Look at the Big B as a human being and a person of respect and regard him for whatever he is worth and feel proud that he is a part of Mumbai? Jai Hind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
