Bollywood... the other Hollywood

It’s a Bollywood plot, kidnapping, mysterious disappearances and serious drama. Chandigarh, India is where there have been many terrorist attacks that have occurred in the past year. Chander Mohan (deputy chief minister of the northern state of Haryana) made a questionable announcement to his people of Haryana. Mr. Mohan said that he had converted to Islam, he is 43 years old and a husband and already a father of two and he said that he had wed a second wife who had also just converted to Islam. The problem this country is facing is since this country is viewed as a democracy what will people say if a high ministry official has two wives? So once Mr. Mohan had married his second wife, he was kidnapped by his first wife and children but a little while later they returned to their home. My opinion is that he shouldn’t be reelected and his first wife should divorce him and the state should make sure he doesn’t get another high-end government job later on in his life.
