Poor parliamentarian and my habit of thinking………

I have a very bad habit to think…… any way, I am compel before my habit so I take you through with my poor… I was asking that I was thinking…..Humm!! I was thinking that should I wish that god gives some courage and power to the poor prime minister of the country or let him to be in the sound sleep. Should we really not bother if we evidently found him vulnerable while tackling the problem of terrorism, naxalites in the country? Every day approximately four naxalite incidents happened in the country during 2004-2009 in the country. After 5 years a minister showed the courage to cry for the mandate for tackling this issue?? How courageous is he?? Huh!! The poor minister was dumped by the finance minister by saying that these issues are only meant to be discussed in the cabinet meeting. He does not have any right to ask for proper right for fighting with it.

Again I was thinking that when the cabinet meeting will be conducted, and equally surprised that if it ever happened. However, my sense allows me to think that it happens every now and then. Poor PC (Mr. Chidambaram) has not discussed it before?? How will I come to know, after all I am a common man. Ok! let me roam my mind around it. Humm!!! If he has not discussed, then he is really poor!! If he has, and had to shown his anger in public then he is in the wrong job, he should make a thick skin and learn how to fight without hands!! He should not mind if further “Dantewada” happens and asked for the resignation by the P.M, at that moment he is suppose to behave like a true congress worker and hand over the resignation without murmuring. The ruling party would pat his back that the party believes in moral and high standard of ideology, there is no compromise on it and poor people too forget the incident till next “Dantewada”.

This is the cycle which will be continued. Who has given us a right to blame the government on such issues, after all we have given them a mandate for whole five years, and they have every right to fight with each other, burn their hands in corruption, do the right things in a wrong way !! after all its a democratic country. Every one has own right. Naxals have the right to blow up the tracks of train, do a massacre, government have a right to take the sleeping pills, public have a right to cry, and opposition parties have a right to match the shoulder with the ruling party. Every one is aware about his right, then why the media should interfere in such issue. They also should leave the government and opposition party at their own style of functioning, they don’t have any right to criticize, so what if common people and soldier are being killed, as long as they do not harm and politician, after all we are more than 1.25 billion populous country, and we should not worry about these things. It is government’s concern to call a press conference after such devastated incidents and raise a deep concern, condemn such incident, ask for a judicial enquiry then forget it. We should worry about the perks and benefits received by the parliamentarian, they also deserves protocol like Mr. Obama, flashy cars, perks like private companies’ CEOs, A CEO manages only thousands of employee and receives lakhs of rupees as salary, however a parliamentarian takes care (does not necessary to mean it) of 15 lakh people approximately and receives only two and half lakh bucks (total salary and benefit). Humm!!! I was thinking that how good it is that I am not a parliamentarian, else I could have die with this….

It is our dirty habit to run after the so called politicians. Our right starts from casting the vote and finishes after casting the vote, thereafter we should not worry that what the government is doing, how is it doing and when is doing. We should prepare ourselves to make us fool again in the next election. We should understand that they are loaded with other works as well, why only we raise the slogan against it, write the article against it. Oh! I think I also need to stop, I am too a common man, so I also don’t have any right to…. After all who am I to write all…………… I have only right to think……… How much do I think…. I think I should stop thinking…..

Peace, our society and the resolution

Peace consists only five letters of the alphabet and very easy to articulate. However, equally hard to find it any corner of the world. Every big nation has been affected by the terrorism, almost every country in Asia, is affected by it. And, approximately every individual is affected by violence, which has devastated the humanity and human culture across the globe. Not only the terrorism is gulping us but also the human violence growing anxiously, which can be categorised against the community, women, children and particular section of the society.

If we look it into our nation’s context the picture is very shady, every citizen of the country needs to think and act over it. As per statistics compiled by the NCRB (National Crime Records Bureau), it is observed that a total of 30,031 incidents of crime against SCs were reported in the country during 2007 or more than 82 crime every day. As per National commission for women, there were 13190 complaints registered against the violence with the women in 2008 in India. Are these two examples not enough for smacking on the face of educated and civilized society. It is a shame for the country, which taught the concept of “Vasudhaiv kutumbakum (The earth is like a family)” to the world. We left the harmony far behind and we don’t mind to be violent against our people, at least the aforesaid data verifies our nature.

In a different context the picture is gloomier. As per the statistics provided by the home ministry, 6982 terrorist incidents happened during 2004-2008 or more than 3 incident in north east states of the country, 8022 terrorist incidents in J&K or more than 4 incidents every day and 7806 naxalite incidents or more than 4 incidents happened every day during the same period across the country. This is more than enough to have a glance to let us know that how peaceful environment is around us or where we are heading towards.

It seems to be that there is a tremendous market, business and competition for being a powerful country, community, self claimed ideological and individual, which perhaps drives to be violent. We will have to stop such distorted mindset. Therefore to restore the peace, we are badly required to initiate diverse steps across the globe against any kind of violence immediately. At an individual level we will have to eliminate the barrier of discrimination and lead a society of harmony and brotherhood. We will have to increase the participation of elegant and honest representative in every sector, who can be a protagonist in the way of peaceful world. We need to advocate for providing opportunities in the conflict resolutions processes to incorporate women’s voices and representation with a view to preventing violence against them, protecting women and girls from gender based violence and equal participation in the development of the society, nation and world. We need to give the due consideration to restore the concept of “Vasudhaiv kutumbakum”, which can open the path of peace.

In the international arena too, lead nations are required to keep the focus towards the basic development of the human not for the nuclear power and weapon. It is evidently necessity of all nations across the globe to work together to reduce the military expenditure and increase the funds for education, sustainable development and the basic needs of the human. It is essential to take the steps for nuclear disarmament, which are with the nuclear weapons capabilities. They should go for the disarmament together and help the countries, which are still miles away from the basic amenities and the development. They should address and pass the resolution of non violence and influence the international society through disarmament and less destructive weapons. It also can be possible by the way of making the participation of different nations and different cultures and by emphasising on studies related to peace and harmony.

Let us encourage mild relations and pass the resolution of peace across the globe, irrespective of community, religion, race, place, cultural, gender and political affiliations.

Mohan Bhagawat – The ‘Sonia Gandhi’ of the BJP

Ever since Mr. Bhagwat has become the RSS’ chief. He has been fond of talking about the BJP, he does not forget to tell the media personnel that RSS provides the idea (Vito) to the BJP when it is required. I am failed to understand that does really a party like BJP, who use to be known for the party of ideological minds, requires a consultation to run its organization. If indeed then the party should hire some best consultants to seek for the formal decision at least who can suggest better. The party which is at all time low on his ideological, organizational structure ground should have chosen better and much experienced leader to head the organization. At this time, Mr. Bhagwat ignited the fire of dissatisfaction under the party, by imposing a less experienced leader rather suggesting very tenured leader as its national president.

It was the high time to think and act for the 2nd direct defeat from the congress. It was evident that the congress government has not done so well through out the term as it showed the performance in the election. Despite it, the BJP lost the election! Therefore party had to discover the reason of defeat, which somehow might be related to the poor leadership, organizational, management skills etc. It was a golden opportunity to select unanimous and very affirmative leader to run the party. However, the party has lost the opportunity in this front too. Election of Mr. Gadkari tells that how the party is influenced by the RSS, which anyhow is not a good indication for a party like BJP, it seems to be that it has lost its autonomous status. The impression is evolving that the party has to seek for RSS for every important decision or does not mind its way until it receives a smack from the parental organization. Though it is also very important to know that why RSS became so aggressive in terms of interfering in the matter of party’s internal affairs. Probably, there was a big void of the national leadership felt by the RSS, who could be savior of the party. However, it is also extremely surprising that the party had to stick on Mr. Gadkari. Was it a poor succession strategy or any hidden agenda, future will let us know. It’s beyond the imagination of the common party worker that how can a person who never elected directly by the people, shown significantly poor performance in its state’s election, become a national head. This may lead a Paradigm shift towards the alternate of the party workers gradually.

How the party can forget a basic rule for choosing a leader that the leader is always remain the most important factor to lead a task or run the organization. Since it is lacking in the party, which has lost two consecutive elections, and on a contrary congress is heading towards an era of Indira Gandhi, when the whole oppositions remained as void for most of time. BJP is also loosing its credibility among the people. There may be a big debate that whether the congress government is doing well or not. However, no one should have any doubt that simultaneously congress is not leaving any effort to make the organization very sound in the leadership of Rahul Gandhi. It is merely seen that the party on the power, remains on ground on the organizational front. We can have the example of the NDA regime, when the organization was the least concerned subject. Congress is very much focus on the organization, Rahul himself overhauled the whole structure with paying visit to every significant state. Unfortunately the BJP also has the Youth phobia or consternated to see the growing popularity of Mr. Gandhi, which is why the BJP also has been in desperation for following the path of congress. It is not known that why the BJP has forgotten that congress has certain factors which are altogether different from the BJP. Somehow Gandhi family has such impact on the party worker and common people that even a servant of that family can be evolved as a unanimous leader for the party. This impression does not evolve in a day or night, this come from the legacies which started by J L Nehru, nurtured by Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi and strengthen by the sacrifice of the two prominent leaders. If congress tries to promote any outer leader than the Gandhi family and associates, it will find very hard to lead, remember the era of Sitaram Kesri.

In the time of leadership crisis, BJP could have elect a leader, who has mass appealing or common workers are already familiar with the name such as Arun jaitley, Shushma Swaraj, Yashwant Sinha are the leaders, doing the central politics from couple of decades and have vibrant respect and impact over the party workers. However, the present president has a tremendous line of senior MPs to him, which would lead towards a very difficult situation to place the discipline in the most undisciplined party ( for the time being as it has been projected). The above mentioned leaders are not only seniors but also a respectable image over the common man and other party’s worker. Mr Gadakari would require a lot of time to place the same kind of wave length across the nation. It also may be possible that he manages to do something but the task could have been much easier if there was a mass or prominent leader. And, he would have to struggle a lot to get the work done.

Its seems to be that BJP tried to appease the Maharashatra cadre’s leader or RSS to promote two leaders at the significant positions from the same state, unfortunately who have not been know for their proven contribution for the organization. Was it a resultant of the consideration of some of the leaders that promoting two leaders from the same state that it would strengthen the party in the respective state or any strategy instigated by Mr. Bhagwat is behind it? How the party can forget the example of U.P. where the BJP is taking the taste of ground and does not seem to turn around in next one decade at least. What can be the worst example of appeasement other than it.
It is indigestible to think that a seasoned leader like Mr. Bhagwat would make mistake to elect the leader like Mr. Gadkari. It’s a big question that putting aside all these factors, why Mr. Bhagwat imposed him. Does the BJP need a mask as a national leader, and decision would be taken by some hidden leaders? It is the matter of analysis that why is he so proactive to put undue interference and unwanted veto over the internal decision of the party matter or is there his personal strategy behind it. Is not it so that Mr. Bhagwat has some hidden agenda which he would like to fulfill through his pawn. If Mr. Bhagwat would like to be aspired the ‘Sonia Gandhi’ of the BJP and he has any such distorted plan, then I am confident to say that it would be an historical mistake, which would certainly swallow the whole party.
