When our Prime Minister lose sleep?

The Prime Minister's confession of loosing sleep over the arrest of his citizens abroad for alleged involvement in Glasgow bomb blast made me to lose my sleep. Does he lose sleep because the country he governs is becoming a breeding ground of terrorist? Does he lose sleep because professionally educated and privileged youths of the country he governs embracing the path of jihad? The answer is no. His loss of sleep has something to do with the religion of the arrested youths. He moved one step forward to confess again that he knows how it feels to be a minority in the country he governs. I wonder whether the Hindus of our country have really any hatredness towards the Sikhs (the community which he belongs). In fact Hindus never have any hatred towards non-believers or those who believe in some other Gods or religions. There are some fundamentalist elements who often are accused of being spreading hatredness for some minority community. Even these Hindu fundamentalists never targeted Sikhs. The hatredness towards Sikhs was purely political and was spearheaded by the party which the Prime Minister represents in the parliament. Was he ever a victim of such hatredness? He has enjoyed all coveted positions of the country and could have been a popular candidate for the post President if he wishes so. So his feeling are hypocritical and I feel need not be debated even. Regarding his loss of sleep I would rather suggest him to see doctor. He never lost his sleep when people died in bomb blast in Delhi and Mumbai, when citizens are killed by terrorists in J & K, North East and other parts of the country, when fifty policemen were killed by Naxalites in Jharkhand, when villagers were molested, raped and killed by CPM cadres and police in Singur, when farmers were committing suicide, when the money targeted for the poor never reach them, when people die out of starvation…... I don’t remember anytime my Prime Minister have ever confessed of losing sleep for any of these things (please correct me if my memory is corrupt). The country had lot of expectation from the present Prime Minister when he was chosen for the job. What has he done for this country as a Prime Minister (expect running the Prime Minister’s Office)? I am sure if he will introspect on this he will lose sleep more. I won’t suggest him to think about the damages done to the country during his tenure as that may lead to loss of his job or loss of sleep permanently.
