Chennai:
Mr. Greg Chappel, the coach of the Indian Cricket Team, was spotted giving the finger to the raingods yesterday. Greg, frustrated after having to endure a nearly washed out Test Match against Sri Lanka, was caught by Television Cameras waving an unsavory finger at the sky. In the images, Greg is seen to emerge from the Dressing Room, take a long hard look at the sky and lose his temper.
The visuals were immediately flashed all over the Television Networks and have created a furore. Particularly upset have been the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and the Bajrang Dal, who have called this an act of blasphemy. Mr. Praveen Togadia, the General Secretary of the VHP, fumed in an interaction with reporters yesterday, “How can this white man defile our religious sentiments this way by brazenly pointing his finger at the god of Rain, Indra? This act must not go unpunished”. He has threatened to organize a nationwide protest. He has also declared his intention to organize a Mahayagya on 25-th of December, to appease Indra and exhort him to rain out all the Indian team’s cricket matches, as long as Mr. Chappel continues to be the coach of the team.
Elsewhere Mr. K S Sudarshan, the chief of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has asked all Hindus to urgently have at least 8 children per family in order to offer one child per family as sacrifice as part of the December 25-th Mahayagya to appease Indra.
