After AAP withdrew its Dharna last evening , panelists
/ analysts / journalists ( - and anyone who got invited by TV anchors ) , were
busy pronouncing :
> Murder of
Democratic Processes
> Ignominious
Defeat
> Shameful
Withdrawal
> Face-saving
Formula
> Renegade
Retreat
> State -
sponsored Anarchy
> Lawmakers
taking law into own hands
> Why don't Somnath
go on long leave ?
> Eating
Crow / humble pie
> Arrogance
Unlimited
> Unbridled
Activism
> Goodbye to
Governance
> Footpath
Cabinet
> Shameless
Selfishness
> Rabble
Rousing Ruffians
> Climb-down
/ Compromise
No one asked ,
" How do
you categorize the following incidences from Independent India's
history ?
"
> Imposition
of Emergency by Indira Gandhi
> State -
tolerated Delhi murders of 1984
> Demolition
of Babri Masjid
> Asking
Indian Army to revolt
> State -
sponsored Bundhs
> Fake
encounters in every state
> Moral
policing
> Khap
Panchayat rulings of honour - killing
> Fearful
Fatwas
> Police
Atrocities
> Political
Rallies bringing traffic to halt
The list can go on and on
All the past and the present governments ( Central and
States ) have been guilty of , one or more , of the above - mentioned "
illegal " crimes !
Only difference between them and the current AAP
government in Delhi is :
AAP has the moral courage to openly admit that it will
continue with its agitations / protests / dharnas / activism , even as it
continues in power !
A very refreshing candor !
For the common men ( Aam Aadmi ) , this unconventional
approach of AAP is their last ray of hope that things can be changed
democratically
But it seems , the Corrupt / Criminal / Callous
politicians don't like this democratic approach
!
They seem to be telling AAP - and the people :
> Don't shout
slogans and sing patriotic songs on the streets
> Stop
protesting
> We don't
understand your polite requests
> Only
language we understand is the gun-sounds of Naxalites
What these power-hungry politicians forget is that , thousands
of our fore-fathers sacrificed their lives to the bullets of the British , to
win freedom
And , win the right to vote !
In 2014 , people of India don't need to pick -up guns
to change government
They don't need to pull a trigger
They only need to press a tiny button on the Voting
Machine
A button marked with a broom ( a Jhadu ) !
After 66 years of ruling / ruining this country , it is
possible that the Satraps of Congress and BJP , cannot see the approaching
Tsunami called AAP , which will sweep them into the dustbin of history - come
April 2014 !
Wake up , People
of India !
2014 is your " tryst with the destiny " !
