Bald men take offence at Rahul`s `selling comb to bald` barb

Nashik: Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi`s barb aimed at BJP at recent AICC meet has hurt the sentiments of bald people here who feel the remarks smacked of lampooning the natural phenomenon.

A number of bald men in Amalner town of Jalgaon district in North Maharashtra yesterday took out a morcha against Rahul`s statement that "opposition can even sell a comb to a bald man". A memorandum was submitted to Sub-Divisional Officer Tukaram Hulwale by a delegation. The members said Rahul`s comment though aimed at BJP has hurt their feelings and is smacked of ridicule. "Baldness is a natural process. We protest against remarks made by Rahul", said Shivaji Patil, a member of the delegation.
