In the month of Mar sometime I was travelling from Delhi to Hissar when a huge cavalcade of SUVs was seen approaching in the rear mirror. The leading vehicle was Haryana Police PCR followed by Commandos, who signalled us to drive aside and make way for the fast moving cavalcade, then some Indian SUVs then Commandos then some Imported dark glassed SUVs then Commandos then large number of Indian SUVs then PCR van then a fire-brigade truck and I guess an ambulance too. I have seen something similar in Dehradun when Mr ND Tiwari was the CM. But Mr Tiwaris cavalcade was smaller and the cars had read beacons. Here the beacons were missing. Quiet intrigued I was looking for an opportunity to find out. Who was this with a cavalcade of 40 odd SUVs, darkened glasses on the more expensive SUVs, fast moving, provided security by half a dozen maruti gypsies full of elite troops, the black cat commandos of Hindostan approximating to 30 Commandos, state police lined up all the way, state police escorts, ambulance, fire brigade vehicle. Who could be so important to mobilise the whole security setup like the Chief Minister or some other big shot cabinet minister?
After the heavy weights had cleared, we stopped by a much relieved constable standing near his PCR asking about the whose who.
I would have never guessed but religion drives the world, forget Hindostan.
It was the Dera Chief.
