Our politicians are obsessed with following " CRIMES OF COMMISSIONS " :
> 1984 Delhi Genocide
> 2002 Godhra riots
> 2013 Muzzafarnagar riots
> Sundry
terrorist attacks
> Killings
by Naxalites / Maoists
> Police
encounters ( genuine or otherwise )
> Political
murders
> Crimes
committed by celebrities ( Sports / Films / Media etc )
Politicians are vying with each other to fix blame on
opposition / ruling parties . TV anchors
are facilitating the acrimonious mud-slinging
!
They are demanding apologies from those who were in
power when these crimes happened ( or from those whose parties were in power at
that time )
They want the culprits / criminals responsible for
these crimes , to be tried and punished by the courts expeditiously
They want the riot victims to get justice - of course ,
no axe to grind !
Why this sudden hue and cry about what happened long
time back ?
Why this obsession with the past ?
Why this sharp focus on the " ACTS OF COMMISSION
" ?
Why is no one talking about the present ?
About the " ACTS OF OMISSIONS
" ?
Who is responsible for following deaths , EVERY YEAR ,
year - after - year ?
>
Malaria.............................. 10,98,000
>
Cancer...............................
7,32,000
>
HIV..................................
6,83,200
> Suicide
............................. 4,88,000
> Road
Accidents ................. 3,66,000
> Snake
bites ........................ 7,32,000
>
Malnutrition of Children.......... 16,00,000
What about millions of Indians dying PREMATURE DEATH every year , due to :
> Water and
Air Pollution
> Dowry (
Bride burning )
> Child
Labour
>
Occupational Hazards ( Chemical / Coal / Cement industries )
> Miscarriage
/ Abortions / Pregnancy deaths
> Smoking /
Tobacco chewing
> Junk Food /
Adulterated Food
> Daru (
liquor ) laced with ethyl alcohol
> Fake Medicines............................etc
And who are responsible for keeping 28.7 Crores of
Indians illiterate ( 37 % of World's illiterate ) , 66 years after
independence ?
Is that because ,
> " ACTS
OF OMISSIONS " are taken for granted ?
> Deaths due
to such Acts are treated as " NATURAL " ( not preventable ) ?
>
Politicians don't think talking about these , will get votes ?
> Media
could not care less ! TRP is all that matters for getting Ad revenue
> Cursing
others is easier than persevering for
the possible ?
