'Nonsense Club' demands drug-deal with US

'Nonsense Club' floated by Satirist Jaspal Bhatti has pulled a new one - this time he wants India to 'sign' a drugs deal with the US and has demanded 'subsidy' for drug peddlers and growers.

Putting up his short skit with his band of 'Nonsense Club' members at the busy Sector 17 plaza in Chandigarh city, Bhatti demanded that drug peddlers should be provided red beacons atop their vehicles and be given security cover since they are involved in a risky business.

The satire was clearly aimed at red beacons and security recently announced by Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal for members of the Shiromani Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) to appease them.

'Prime Minister Manmohan Singh should shift his focus from the nuclear deal with the US to a long- term drug deal,' Bhatti said as shoppers and others laughed.

Punjab has emerged as a major transit point in north India for drugs being smuggled from Afghanistan via Pakistan. Chandigarh has emerged as a major buying market for drugs.

Punjab is reported to have a high number of people hooked to drugs.

Bhatti even suggested that organic farming of drugs should be encouraged so that youngsters could get the quality product.

'It would be more profitable for the government to subsidise the drug trade instead of giving free water and electricity to farmers,' Bhatti said.

Non-stop 'nonsense' for 25 years!!!!!!

Jaspal Bhatti & his band of faithful friends have been successfully selling 'nonsense' for the last 25 years. Welcome to the mad world of the 'Nonsense Club' founded and run by satirist-actor-director-engineer Jaspal Bhatti who hails from Chandigarh.

The unique thing about Bhatti's Nonsense Club is that it has no building, no permanent or life members, no venue and does not even hold regular meetings. Yet it has done well in these 25 years, delivering social messages every few months to highlight the plight of the middle class through street shows.

'We started on a small level with just a few friends to highlight social evils with a lot of satire. There has been no looking back,' as per Mr. Bhatti.

Among the issues Bhatti's club has highlighted are bride-burning, bridegroom sale, fuel price hike, Diwali gifts, black-marketing of cinema tickets, adulterated food, high onion prices, heavy school bags and sycophancy.
