Right to privacy is an inalienable right of every individual. Unfortunately privacy is often viewed synonymously with secrecy. Secrecy engenders suspicion. Privacy is sacrosanct whereas secrecy betrays paranoia and is very often an attempt to conceal one's detestable behaviour.
Sonia Gandhi is undergoing treatment for an undisclosed ailment in an undisclosed hospital, according to her confidants. The cloud of secrecy surrounding the announcement makes one wonder whether she is really undergoing medical treatment or has gone abroad for some undisclosable purpose like operating secret bank accounts. It may be unchivalrous to think on these lines, but it would be gullible and anti-national not to think so.
