“Khadeem-e-Deen”

A title meaning “servant of the faith” in the peaceful religion (pun intended) — and one that Akhilesh Yadav seems determined to earn, one statement at a time.

Whether it’s selective outrage, perfectly timed symbolism, or his latest defense of namaz on public roads, the priority always appears crystal clear: optics first, inconvenience later.

Traffic can wait. Ambulances can wait. Office-goers can wait.
But vote-bank politics? Never.

Because in this version of “secularism,” roads are apparently flexible, rules are optional AND ONLY TO BE FOLLOWED BY HINDUS, and public inconvenience is just collateral damage in the great performance of appeasement politics.

So, “Tipu Bhai Jaan,” we thought you deserved a fitting tribute — a jaalidaar topi for a thoroughly jaali brand of politics.

After all, when the streets become religious stages, who needs helmets?
A topi will do just fine.
