2014
is round the corner. Speculations are
already rife regarding the outcome of 16th Lok Sabha Elections
slated to be held sometime during the first half of next year. Although it is too early to make surmises on
what the outcome of the elections would be, still there is no denying the fact about
the likelihood of a single party emerging favorite of the masses to be in a
position to usher in a new government, the tenure of which should end somewhere
near the 20th of the third millennium (viz. Anno Domini – Year of
the Lord).
Incidentally,
the year 2020 is the earmarked or stipulated period by which time the universe
would have advanced to a stage of blistering developments. These so called developments ought not be
ignored as hearsay rumors nor should it be bypassed as casual inferences. Rather, the year 2020 besides being a leap
year must certainly unfold to the world a scenario where many of the smaller
countries would have risen to the status of developed countries. How would India , the largest democracy in the
world fare in such a scenario? Where would its credit lie? The countdown cannot be ignored, nor would it
be feasible to allow the remaining years to ebb away in to haphazard years of
no consequence.
Anno
Domini or the year 2020 is envisaged to bring about a series of most
spectacular and stunning developments, the occurrences of which would have
dazzling effect on the entire world. As
already stated supra, 2020 is the likely age when many of the present day smaller
nations would join the elite among the many developed countries. India has great potential being a large
nation besides being in possession of requisite resources, input etc. for
making it big on the world stage, provided it acts with discretion. However, as the election time advances, the
discretionary powers more or less vest with the masses. The Indian masses are aware of priorities as
also where each party stands in the reckoning.
People of India
are also acquainted with the agenda of each party, strategy adopted by each besides
the positive or negative aspects as the case may be which normally fuel a
tug-o-war between opponents where the people form the core group gain a lead in
manipulating the choice of likely victor and boost the confidence of fence
sitters. However, the responsibility at
this stage is wholly on the shoulders of people. As the nation progresses towards an
impressive age of mystifying global changes, India needs to be safely hovered
on to shoulders of the most responsible hands or party and people whose
credentials must possess among others virtues of honesty, dynamism and
vision.
Undoubtedly,
there are going to be surprises both for the nation and for people. One is assured that the 16th Lok
Sabha elections are likely to conclude on a promising note. A new government having clear mandate with
whopping number in Parliament is likely to emerge capable of facing a scant
opposition. What exactly makes one aver
such notional guess with so much certainty on the likely outcome of the
aftermath and post-election scenario?
Evidently, the collective say by people who are to decide on a would be
outcome has not yet been revealed. Nor
have they revealed their card either through ballot or through a media
engineered poll or at best through a massive popular demonstration up till
now? Hence, where from such optimism? Elementary! UPA-II witnessed two consecutive terms which
hardly allowed them a breathing space.
The aspirations of the masses which rendered the government the needed mandate
to govern the nation were belied, hopes dashed and expectations unfulfilled, all
because of a swelling opposition gagging the very essence of a governing body. What with all the street demonstrations
coming from none other than Kisan Baburao Hazare on the one hand and his
break-away ally Arvind Kejriwal giving street shows making the very government look
like a laughing stock. The Opposition
too kept flaying the initiatives of the government leaving the very institution
of Parliament in a state of melancholy. The
tone and tenor of opposition in Parliament corroded the morale of government forcing
dissent and disenchantment among its very allies. The swing of democratic fortunes experienced tremendous
set back. Nowhere in history has India
experienced such tantrums resorted to by the opposition installed in Parliament
to the detriment of a government having to make do with a notched up
alliance. The concept of a constructive
opposition was lost among the crowd and the government left fuming to feel its
way to attempt a stage back through the ensuing elections.
If
the UPA-I was lost to the din and dilution of policies and related issues by
the CPI (M) the UPA-II was an attempt to reduce governance and enforcing
failures and pandemonium on a government in a manner that its achievements
could well be projected at nil. The long
and short of it all was like a section of people in connivance with the
opposition in Parliament vainly attempting
to reduce the power and mandate given by another section which group alone had
the good of government in mind. Such a scenario or state of affairs need to be
arrested if the nation is to progress and hard decisions adhered to which would
tell on the future of the nation. Issues
which deserve priority ought not be assailed through whims and fancies of
opposition or regional parties, much less through uninterrupted street shows. Unfortunately, the opposition namely BJP and
various gangs of disgruntled elements in collusion with some regional trouble
makers and sulking leadership made the present government halt many issues
which called for priority. The
government was forced by evil forces and vested interests to retrace its steps
on key issues. These evil forces and
regional hurdles need to be identified, swept aside or ignored and the nation
returned to the hands of people who have the best of interest of people and
nation in mind.
The
image of Congress Party today looms large on an extremely prospective scale
with a full- fledged team of core men and woman fully engaged in giving this
widely diverse nation of over 1.3 billion people a direction. With the party all set to launch its vigorous
campaign for the 16th Lok Sabha Elections due to be held during 2014, there is
all round activity by party stalwarts and allies within the UPA not leaving
anything to chance. Although the UPA government’s second term did see a great
deal of communal flare-ups under stray and disgruntled elements who, as usual,
have been creating undue hue and cry on the issue of corruption, nonetheless,
the party maintained a distinct show of determination to meet all such unsocial
elements from carrying away the sanctity and reputation of the party and nation
by allowing time for the people, issues and interruptions abundant reflections to
be sorted out with priority.
However,
it has been the undaunted stand by party that remedy for all ills need to be addressed
or attended to with caution and diligence. As such, all attempts to browbeat the party
and allies by the national opposition namely Bhartiya Janata Party in
connivance with stray communal elements need to be struck down with élan,
thereby such wanton attempts to disrupt the normal functioning of government by
the opposition has totally failed to give any jolt to a government which is
well entrenched at the helm of affairs of the nation.
Congress
Party is fundamentally a single idea which united millions of countrymen to
engage in a fight to achieve freedom of the land from alien power at the cost
of their own lives. Consequently, Congress Party stands as the one only entity
with chaste resolve to see people and nation aligned on top of the world map.
There is therefore, no denying the fact that the Party is seized of the issues
that are bogging the nation namely communalism.
Time
and again ripples go up the headlines and media with lot of loose talk making
rounds regarding formation of a third front.
This is normally followed by elated discussions among regional parties
and stalwarts. Soon ecstatic bouncers
from some of the upbeat and never dying critics projecting individual image
bring about some hitch here or there. As
normalization of ties and related modalities follow, the talk of a PM’s hood
underway gains momentum. Close on the
heels of hood for PM’s chair more aspirants join the bandwagon, as if to say,
the next time you read the morning newspaper you might be in for a strange
surprise with headlines flashing names of a wild gang of PM’s hood opting to
run the race. As ramifications of the
tussle for the PM’s chair get wider and its echoes get felt in other states,
several unworthy elements start making a dash for the same hood with one or the
other hitch coming in the way of one or the other parties, and the whole issue
of weaving a united front ends up in a non-starter and gradually the talk which
gathered momentum for a week or so recedes to its inevitable end. This puts an end to the empty drumbeat on the
much talked about third front. In
effect, the tussle by communalists or hooded elements is all about getting at
the power center which alone is uppermost in their minds.
Out
of the six national parties approved by the Election Commission viz. Congress,
BJP, CPI, CPM, BSP, NCP there are only two prominent parties with recognized
rating on an all India
basis namely Congress Party and Bhartiya Janata Party. However, looking at the scant appeal held by
Bhartiya Janata Party at the national level the only party having a conspicuous
hold over the entire nation happens to be Congress Party.
As
curtain fell over the fourth year of its second term, Congress Party
frantically fumbled about the years and files of both the UPA term which have
become a part of today’s Indian history. They needed a narrative to qualify the
many achievements made during the last nearly six years. How would a party find an achievement which
the very people of India
are witnesses of? Much has been listed,
much talked about and many more publicized for people to assess prior to
preparing to vote. Congress Party was
convinced that it had vibrated its intent within the convinced minds of
hitherto calm witnesses awaiting the nod of election commission. However, one
singular message, one singular achievement and one singular success to its
credit that the party made silence of not intending to divulge it or to assert
leaving the people of India to divine on their own was that Congress Party was
no party to the commotion made by the opposition, the regional parties, the
corruption mongers and the communalists who deemed it appropriate to scare the
government off the power center.
Congress
Party demonstrated with emphasis its will to achieve much more than what
ostensibly the opposition namely BJP or the regional parties like BJP, TMC, SP,
DMK etc. would have allowed them to do.
And this alone was the greatest achievement of a party that dared do
much but for the vilification campaign let loose by the opposition, the
tantrums resorted to by regional parties and the commotion indulged in by stray
hoodlums mongering corruption which, in effect, never existed.
CORRUPTION
Corruption
does not exist. There is no corruption
and all talk of corruption is a myth. It is hereby reiterated with emphasis that
there is no corruption as is made out and in the measure some stray, blunt and
ignorant elements want to portray the nation to be in. Does this sound Greek to some?
The
nation was never free from chaos, turmoil or incidents causing enormous
hardships to public. Highhandedness, nefarious activities, atrocities,
brutalities, butcheries, wars, murders, kidnap for ransom, match-fixing
scandals, hijack, criminal assault, loot, theft, burglary, extremism,
cross-border terrorism, civil strife, communal riots, dowry deaths, rape of
innocents, plunder by people, tax evasion, snatching and pickpockets, theft of
vehicles, arson, labor unrest, hoarding of essential commodities, pilferage of
items, marketing day to day items & essential commodities at exorbitant
rates – and what have you?
Nevertheless,
India
never forsook its development plans, activities and programs. The government
did not ever throw up its hands fed up of the anarchy and chaos committed by
its own people. It did not blame the
citizens and people who stood to benefit from the progress the nation was
making through unstinted efforts of a government that was awake to people’s
problems. Today the same nation is capable of hoisting Common Wealth Games, Olympics
and like events which project the nation as a force to reckon with.
All
the developments took place at the behest of a party nurtured to its existence
by people of eminence, dignified people who had a dream to see India on top of
the world map. However, the country was
never free from high-handedness by vested interests by people who savored
freedom yet preferred luxury and comfort to commitment and hard work.
People
who lived for more than 60 years – this writer included - and watched the
nation progress steadily by huge strides, step by step, are witnesses to a
dream being logically fulfilled. Only recently India was counted among the
underdeveloped countries and later on with the passage of time came to be
projected as an undeveloped country which eventually found itself competing for
top slot as ‘Super Power’. A nation
could not have progressed this far had it been under a spell of corruption by
its own people as some blunt elements want to term it. Years of yearning by renowned and dignified
people of eminence who streamlined a path to climax and had the nation bloom in
the horizon of a new dawn, a new age and a new era with minutely planned
strategy for development as also reared up noble minds to handle the overall
political realm of a free India are never devoid of statistics. All this occurred at the behest of a national
party, which churned out a direction for a people who hardly measured up to
attaining basic education and know-how.
As of today the nation owns a novel vision, a novel vista and a novel
periphery to include the world in its reckoning. Do not these aspects show India in a new
light quite ahead of the reach of the existing twenty-first century? And the
credit for such leap by a free nation of diverse communities would surely go to
the Indian National Congress alias INC or better put as Congress Party.
The
nation could not have progressed this far, had the country been under a spell
of corruption by its own people as some blunt elements want to convey to public
on the roadside. As a result of these
blurts by blunt elements whose utterances carry neither reason nor rationale, a
parallel system has been created to the detriment of an elected government at
its helm with tremendous set back to the progress the country is making. All cries and outbursts heaping allegations
of corruption on government and dignitaries are frustration by people who, not
only possess lack of will to fight public menace rather it is a mode of
revealing the hollowness within that cannot bear with others earning through
means of their own shrewdness and intelligence. Apparently the so called allegations just
boil down to mere humbug.
No.
Within the soul of the nation, within the government manned by Congress Party
in alliance with regional parties, there is truly no corruption. Their minds
are focused with a determined resolve to keep corruption, if any, at bay. But the indulgence by public under the hood
of opposition, communalists, extremists and criminals tend to undermine the
efforts put in by human beings within the government and the end game by public
within gain the edge over facts or truth. When the custodians of people’s
rights themselves come under fire or onslaught from a rampaging public or one
might put it as parallel extremism straight from the road, the focus loses its
grip and the nation has to take the beating for a fault committed by public
themselves. No, I still emphasize with
strictness & clarity of purpose that corruption does not exist – rather
public menace does. And one such menace happened to be Kisan Baburao Hazare who
having propelled a crusade against corruption has had to take a backseat
because corruption never existed in the manner and in quantum he alleged it did
to the extent of belittling a government elected by the people. However, now that his confident Arvind
Kejriwal has deserted him for his sort of fame climbing from one electric pole
to the other only to emit his perspirations, the crusade started in the name of
corruption has practically waned out to be a far cry which would never be
substantiated.
How
long will some mean minded people keep parroting their monotonous rhythm called
“Government is at fault?” How do these
few rare specimen find fault with a government which is seized of the whole
crowd of 1.3 billion barbarous instinct-driven people who are hell bent to
commit hordes of crimes, merely to find others their scapegoat. Have these ruffians made it their point to
commit crimes to defame the government and law enforcing people and create
excuse to take to streets? Or have some
communalists found it expedient to enact crime mongering merely to disturb the
rhythm and peace of the nation?
Where
exactly is the nation ailing in? It is
all in the system called democracy which allows any ill-bread or illiterate
elements to fling aspersions on any one he likes or dislikes. It is all in the system that lacks synchronization. India as such is grappling with irregularity
in the system, not corruption
A
colossal error by ancient people in their attempt to pull down curtain over a
spate of heinous crimes, cruelties and atrocities meted out on poor innocent
people groaning for ages under the yoke of suppression and slavery by feudal
lords and monarchs gave birth to a mistaken system identified today as
democracy. Although the mistake of
giving a right to people for standing up for a right to life or right to exist
or be it even for a freedom to breathe ease, has been dragged on for centuries
to make it elastic to the extent of mauling up the very system which today
appears like a noose fit for a band of criminals. Incidentally, this very system
– read democracy - along with the
freedom and privileges graciously granted to an unworthy and unsuspecting mob
stands converted as a right to assert and freedom to kill at will, even the
very people entrusted with responsibility of protecting the people or to govern
them in their best of capacities.
Today,
the same democracy or a system put in place to safeguard the interest of people
who were made to bear the brunt of powerful and highly placed people has become
a blunt instrument with the rulers having to engage their own people for their
own security or to become targets of mob ire or atrocities. For trifles one would find mobs rampaging the
nation and property with demands that appear to them a right, whether or not such
a privilege is within their rights or feasible or convenient to be enforced
over people of other classes and categories is conveniently bypassed.
A
few decades later one might as well expect to see people wielding sticks,
lathis, knives, swords, revolvers and guns, may be even machine guns to demand
their rights as enshrined within the constitution. This could as well be a
departure from the present day say by mobs and multitudes pouring out on to
streets, roads and highways, demanding what according to their interpretation
is their deemed democratic right to bring government and its dignity to a level
of dust. There is a crying need to make
people realize that, that was not what democracy is about. There is no shortcut to any solution and the
least that the people can expect is to allow the solution to wind its way down
to the lowest citizen of whatever class, category or profession he might be is
to trust the elected representatives of people and government.
Going
a step further I might even add that such actions belie all propriety due to
the land and the Constitution. Allowing the public and the masses to
unnecessarily and en masse poke their nose in to functioning of the state
machinery is an affront on the oath of secrecy and confidentiality to which the
President, his entourage, the government and the dignified people are strictly
elected to abide by.
Corruption
or scams as the present day people report has crowned many a disgruntled
element such as V. P. Singh who went on to become PM under a united front
government. However, no one who achieved
a crown through vile means as Singh did has managed to retain and secure it for
long. V. P. Singh is no more but his
ghost would if it could to return to the people to emphatically state that it
was a gross error by him to have allowed suspicion to fall on a higher
dignitary, in this case Shri Rajiv Gandhi himself. Likewise, the same Shri
Rajiv Gandhi became victim of aspersions of scams or corruption but was later
exonerated by the same people and land of such allegations having such
aspersions remained un-substantiated.
However, who among the present day commotion and crusaders of corruption
deserve being named as a menace to peace and communal harmony? The communalists! They are hankering for power and the only way
to achieve it is by be-smearing the government, defiling the constitution and
diverting the progress the nation is making for the good of its people. Communalists have become a menace for the
nation and people and the manner in which they are going about their agenda
could make the nation burn to cinders.
COMMUNALISM
Devil
has up his sleeve an argument to be resolved in the form of a grouse but God
has no time, eternity or patience to hear him out. So the argument has lingered on up to 21st
century.
Satan
goes about with a heavy heart unable to contain depression bordering the one
only dilemma of diabolical dimension, namely his having to singly bear the
burden of responsibility for swarming the world with crime and communalization. Incidentally, his grumble is linked to man’s
complicity in augmenting the quantum of sins in equal measure but still having
been spared chastisement by the creator.
What is more, man even gained access to the fruit of redemption which
God Almighty deemed it expedient to deny it to the devil.
In
a nutshell, why chastise devil alone for the sin of crime and communalization,
which man is equally prone to commit?
Obviously, hiccups such as this by Satan cannot remove his primary guilt
of being the fabricator of sin or communalism.
But how does India view the present day
scenario or how does the nation fix responsibility for select groups of parties
and people dangling communal card over a nation whose only concern is to live a
life of harmony and peace? Which way
does the needle of suspicion point to and what are the consequences of
communalism over a nation and people that have come a long way from the
colonial rule of the British empire to the present day era where huge strides
have been made on the progress and development front with oneness of purpose
and a concerted determination or dedication?
The
nation salutes the Father of the Nation Mohanadas Karamchand Gandhi and the
Indian National Congress for the colossal victory achieved through centuries of
tireless efforts and sacrifices endured and which saw the nation celebrating
its day of independence from colonial rule on August 15, 1947. There is no denying the fact that it was the
first milestone achieved on the way to progress and development. Ever since then, the Indian National Congress
has never looked back.
It
was nowhere a smooth sail for a nation which witnessed centuries of foreign
rule that had more or less shattered its resources including wealth and ability
to fulfill aspirations of its citizens under a newly established government of
its own. Despite severe crunch faced by
people in the supply of essential commodities and the devastating wars thrust
upon it by its neighbors, the country stood firm to convert all odds to the
advantage of its people. All credit for
the hard work and endurance during the pre-post-independence era wholly goes to
the Congress Party in the company of scores of illustrious, eminent and
dedicated people working day in and day out which enabled the nation achieve
tremendous strides to the extent of establishing a viable trend for the nation
to forge ahead in the sphere of self-sufficiency and advancement.
By
all reckoning India has always held on to that one unique tag namely “Unity in
Diversity” whereby many Historians have singled out this particular nation for
its exemplary feature of having survived for centuries in a state of harmony
despite the nation always being thronged by diverse people and
communities. Although India held on to
being a nation which has witnessed much aggressiveness by way of wars, battles,
rivalries what has always marred the image of the country is communal strife
between Hindus and Muslims which always kept the flare of tempers up to the
extent of an outright partition of the land becoming inevitable immediately
after the British were ousted from the country.
However, despite such partition, the venom of communal hatred never left
the land, which saw several large-scale arson, loot, civil strife, mayhem and
even extremism of a different kind.
NDA
coalition from 1998-2004 clearly manifested the failure of a coalition
government under the most communal party of India namely Bhartiya Janata
Party. As a matter of fact their winning
the elections during 1998 could not survive the term after the AAIDMK had pulled
out of the coalition. Even the
Parliament attack and Kargil war signaled the NDA as a failure both on the
foreign policy front as also in tackling terrorism. Vajpayee’s remark connecting extremism to
Muslims signaled a change of guard at the center and after Vajpayee called for
early elections on the assumption that the NDA would romp home with a clear
majority the error had done the trick and got the NDA off the hook of having
any attachment to the ethos of the nation, having been responsible for having given
a communal color to a nation that took pride in asserting the simile namely
“Unity in Diversity”.
During
the rule of BJP and its NDA allies the administrative machinery had come to a
standstill and the NDA government too became a flop with sinking image and
sagging fortunes of a beleaguered PM in Atal Behari Vajpayee whose only concern
more than the interest of the people and boosting of the welfare programs of
the nation was diverted and concentrated on to his ailing knee. Vajpayee was the NDA’s unilateral choice but
the knee was Vajpayee’s choice to be preoccupied with and not the interest of
the nation. Mismanagement,
misgovernment, downright administrative failures as well as providing opportunities to extremists and
misguided elements to take the nation for a ride was the forte of BJP and the
NDA allies who spent nearly a whole decade shattering the glories piled up by
Congress Party through years of suffering and painstaking efforts.
BJP
under NDA rule wasted the previous years which were climax to modernization
programs set in motion by Smt. Indira Gandhi and in succession Shri Rajiv
Gandhi. However, whatever damage within
the nation was given shape to have been authored by the communally infested
elements who, time and again, made the nation and states their target and
innocent human beings their fodder. The
constant attempt to trumpet communal hatred against other communities apart,
the intermittent attempt to make the neighboring Pakistan a target for
vilification campaign had ignited senseless wars at the border which in effect even
wasted huge amounts through irresponsibly allowing a neighbor to bully a giant
that is India. The nation burnt under
devastating and grueling economy and extremism while the communalists looked
the other way about as to how a structure could be castled in the air of their
communal imagination. In a nutshell the
nation during the rule of NDA government was converted to a spent cartridge at
the hands of communalists under self-centered elements styled RSS, VHP, Bajrang
Dal, Shiv Sena, Ram Sena etc. Not only
the welfare of people was eroded within, but the reputation of a nation built
up by Nehru-Gandhi combine was flung to the grabbing hands of communalists to
raze the name and reputation of India to depths of Ayodhya while extremists in
Kandahar made hay while the sun of NDA shone in the hands of BJP, RSS, VHP,
Bajrang Dal, Shiv Sena, Ram Sena etc.
As
a result of arrogance by a select few communal people and parties and in their
quest for cheap fame, power and popularity, the communalists had shrugged off
the peaceful process of achieving a status among super powers by upholding its
committed ideals as taught by the Father of the nation and as laid down within
the Constitution. The communalists under
BJP in chorus with NDA allies squandered away the fortunes piled up by Congress
Party step by step through many years of dedicated hard work and toil. However, in many ways than one it was the
deviation in policies and upsetting of the singular image of diversity and
communal harmony that the nation lagged behind on many fronts. And what would have earned them a popular
mandate from the majority community of the nation to be relishing the glut for
power but communalism?
However,
for Congress Party no criteria may appear as irritating as that of the
communalists dangling communal card in the face of a people who gained roots
from the spirit of sacrifice and oneness without having recourse to any sort of
disparity whatsoever. As such, no
Congress-man can ever be blamed as being communal since he nurtures within him
a secular blood bordering noble ideals as taught to him by the leadership
starting from Mahatma Gandhi down to Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and his
descendants which torch as of today is being upheld by Shri Rahul Gandhi with
dignity and solemn respect.
Communalism plays the demon, religion
plays the coin and the umpire viz. the world around has its role cut out to
deal the ultimate blow. Whichever way
one might toss the face of Hinduism or Islam neither would show its real face
wherein at the core of their show of spirituality breeds a simmering
discontentment, a vengeful hatred and a show of “who the hell” defiance at the
other.
Incidentally, for ages the so called
demon has played foul with not only the two faces of the same coin namely
Hinduism and Islam, rather it has even wrought a frightening spell on the
Indian mindset which fails to provide a respite in the form of an everlasting
peace.
The raging inferno has on umpteen
occasions given rise to cause for contemplation as to where exactly the divide
lies? Overall, the topic is not only food for thought but an excuse as well to
ponder over the state of affairs of a nation which owns a majority in Hindus
and a near majority with Muslims. Incidentally,
the hitch is nowhere related to the numerical aspect of the two communities,
rather it has much to do with the core features of the two religions which
derive logic from random beliefs and ancient superstitions tucked away in the
annals of age old history. What would
puzzle one is the manner in which myths and mysteries accepted as dogma by both
the communities are followed up in the modern day world extolling the barbarity
of old as being relevant even today. So much so, the present day generation
only needs to give vent to their expressions which become headlines on communal
frenzy for the media till the fire of rage is doused through a period of time
and sequence. Naturally, any attempt to
resolve the age old dispute through conviction, logic or by way of reason can
only meet with failure.
Given the fact that communalism is as
much of a world phenomenon, yet the aggressive manner in which Indian populace
consisting of Hindus and Muslims react to it may be worth taking note of. Incidentally, it is this one compelling
feature which has left the two neighbors namely India
and Pakistan
maintaining a vengeful distance from each other. It needs to be reiterated that
immediately after the struggle of independence, there was a semblance of peace
and oneness among the two neighbors but soon things turned sour and the status
quo returned to haunt the two soon thereafter.
Communalization
of society has played foul with not only the society and people but with the
national character as well which has over the years been made a tool to create
divide within the secular features of a large nation like India . It has even wrought a frightening spell that
fails to provide a respite in the form of an everlasting peace. Who holds the string of authority for
manipulating the divide on communal lines?
Communalization
of society has been the singular achievement by a party which is loathed by
majority of people as also by majority of states all over the country. The nation too is greatly concerned about the
attempts by Bhartiya Janata Party [BJP], which in effect is a protégé of the
communal organizations under name and style of RSS, VHP, Bajrang Dal, Shiv
Sena, Ram Sena etc. to be constantly antagonizing the system, the government,
the people, the nation and above all the constitution put together by eminent
and dignified men of yesteryears. With
communalism on, the devil has become relevant for a society which is awfully
stung by the universal, though indigenously fabricated evil called communalism.
Communalization
is one trait which distinguishes BJP as the bad omen for the nation. Precisely, it was through misadventures by
this communal party namely the BJP that the nation was pushed to the brink of
not only human disasters but even several wars with its neighbors, civil
strife, arson, looting, maiming and desecrating the sanctity of nation, people
and the constitution. It was communalism
which paved the way for partition, it was communalism which alienated or distanced
the Muslim population, it was communalism again which brought about the concept
of extremism, it was communalism which sparked riots which saw toll of
thousands of human beings mainly Muslims made to vanish for no crime of theirs,
razing of Babri Masjid at Ayodhya, Kargil war, Parliament attack, Kandahar
plane hijack, need naming any more instances and repercussions of communalism
which keep destroying peace and communal harmony of citizens of the very land
that is shelter to over 1.3 billion people?
BJP
is looked upon by most politicians, professionals, intellectuals, historians
and righteous people as the one only party with the meanest and narrowest of
approach that seeks to divide people or segregate them on the line of
community, religion, caste or category, thus constantly giving rise to a
simmering discontentment, disharmony and sense of alienation to many sections
of the one only society which is characterized as Indian. The only look out by the communal party
namely BJP is to pile up numbers for assuming the role of opposition in the
world’s largest democracy so as to enforce barbarity of medieval ages and allow
the return of social evils and horrendous atrocities of old. It has enough potential to devastate the land
through its communal propaganda and one would never know what exactly is
cooking in the minds of these communal elements to wreak a Gujarat or an Orissa
or even a Karnataka model riot to send the nation burning.
But,
if the main opposition in India fails to perceive their communal agenda as
being a plank to achieve their solitary goal of capturing power at all costs
for enabling them starve the millions the manner they like or to deal out a
Gujarat-carnage of 2002 or Orissa-1999-2007, Ayodhya-1992, Karnataka-2010-2012
etc. and even communalize the entire nation to see it retreating to medieval
ages, Congress Party would definitely have to pull the rug from below their
agenda because the national party cannot allow devastation of the land that is
India.
Come
all – give the right boost to the one only disciplined party every survived for
last over hundreds of years. Congress
Party alone has the pulse of the nation.
Congress Party alone has the best of its people. Congress Party alone has the determination to
resolve common man’s issues. Congress
Party alone can take the nation out of the mire of corruption and
criminality. Give Congress Party a
scintillating victory at the Lok Sabha Elections 2014 and see the nation riding
ahead of even the Super Power of Today’s world.
Watch it – Vote it – Live it all like a true Indian Citizen.
Awake
India ! Awake all.
Awake the young. Awake the old.
Rise up to a new age. Awake with
a ray of hope. Congress Party, the
trusted ones of the dignified days of freedom struggle, the elite of Mahatma
Gandhi’s chosen guild, the chosen ones of the independent India which stood
undeterred to steer the nation clear of hurdles under a charismatic Smt. Indira
Gandhi followed by a dignified Shri Rajiv Gandhi and which India made giant
strides to this very day under the spectacular guidance of Smt. Sonia Gandhi is
beckoning you to assert yourselves forthright.
It was Congress Party all the way from the British era right up to this
very day that stood to listen to your voice, to answer your call to rejoice at
your from foreign rule, your call in peril, your call in distress and your call
to act which it did to your heart’s content.
Congress Party is the one only voice of sanity and choice of a new age
that can best be defined as the independent India .
There
are areas within the Constitution which need a re-look. That can be undertaken only if the party has
the requisite majority to deal with dissent.
India has arrived at the portal of a new age, a new era and a new
century which must get translated in to action and the action need percolate in
to a new life. A life that should
portray a new India
of advanced vision.
You
all strengthened the hands of Smt. Indira Gandhi, Shri Rajiv Gandhi and yea –
that of Smt. Sonia Gandhi. You deserved
your choice and Congress Party stood the ground to deal out your due, your
justice and your vision. Today the same
nation and party is calling upon the teeming millions of an independent India . Rise up ye people, Rise with one voice and stay and stand firm
with the one only hand that has always been extended to your needy hour – stand
with your party at this hour of need to hoist the tricolor with pride now and
for all times to come!
