Double standards in Freedom of Speech for Indians ?

Indian Envoy to the US, Mr. Ronen Sen's remarks has sent most of the Indian Parliamentarians into a tizzy.

They are angry because Mr. Sen referred to those opposing theIndo-US nuclear deal indirectly as "Headless Chickens". He has apologised but most Indian politicians cannot forgive or forget it.
It is amusing that they are getting so worked up even though former Defense Minister, Mr. George Fernandes had suggested that the current Indian Prime Minister (PM) should be shot for proceeding with the Indo-US nuclear deal!

If Mr. Sen, an Indian diplomat says, "Headless chickens", politicians demand he be stripped of his job and be punished!

If Mr. Fernandes, an Indian politician says, "The PM should be shot" hey, it is unparliamentary language. He doesn't even have to apologise as that is Mr. Fernandes's style !

Looks like freedom of speech in India is restricted to only the Indian politicians.

Despite their 60th anniversary of Independence, India is still not a democratic country where freedom of speech can be exercised by all.
