Political Hooligans Fuel Hijab Row

Politics in India has taken a very dirty turn. Opportunist politicians from different political outfits have succumbed to the fundamentalist ideology. It is a very precarious and volatile state of affairs and if not countered with a firm hand it is bound to take the whole country into its grip.

If Pakistan is giving an open support to the Hijab stir in India, what does that indicate? There is no rocket science needed to understand the link. To take you a little behind in the history a very senior congressman had almost begged before the Pakistani leadership in front of Pak media to do something to uproot Narinder Modi Govt.in India, and bring Congress to power. This is what political bankruptcy and thirst for power can do.These shameless leaders who stoop so low and are ready even to go against their own Prime Minister and the country, are the culprits who need to be shown their place politically. It has to be made amply clear to all these people that Anti national elements have no place in this country. “Nation First” is the new name of the game, and this they need to understand and understand fully.

Now, Coming to Hijab controversy which is a new opportunist tactics of some political parties to affect the on going elections in the country in different states more importantly in Uttar Pradesh and at the same time create an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty in the country. Just to make it not look direct, they fabricated the dirty plan to start from Karnataka, with a malafide intention of taking the whole country as hostage and disrupt and polarise the election process.

The row started when some muslim girls of a Govt. pre university college in Udupi, Karnataka tried to enter the college wearing a Hijab. And they were stopped by the college administration from entering the college and this was the beginning of what can be termed as unfortunate for the entire educational system in India. The very basic issue of complying to the college norms in so far as the uniform or the college dress code is concerned, was given a religious colour by the political hooligans in order to start a big agitation in the wake of state elections in the country.

When things could be brought under control through a dialogue, some unruly misguided youth from another community thought they can not wait and watch. so, without wasting any time, they tried to add fuel to the fire by chanting slogans wearing saffron scarfs. These are the situations that threaten the integral fabric of Democratic India. All such provocative actions need to be dealt with a firm resolve.

What is Hijab ? Let us try to understand the interpretation of Hijab given by some muslim clerics. Hijab is a veil worn by muslim women. For some believers of the Quran, Hadith and other Arabic texts, the term Khimar was used to denote a headscarf, and hijab was used to denote a partition, a curtain, or was used generally for the islamic rules of modesty and dress for women.

Wearing hijab in public is not required by law in Saudi Arabia. In Gaza, Palestinians do not have a hijab policy for women.  It is required by law in Iran, Afghanistan and some of the Indonesian provinces. Other countries, both in Europe and in the Muslim world, have passed laws banning some or all types of hijab in public or in certain types of locales. Women in different parts of the world have also experienced unofficial pressure to wear or not to wear a hijab.

So, with different schools of thought, a comperative analysis on the importance of Hijab may look to be something which has not a religious binding and that it has not been considered to be an essential dress code for women. And, quite obviously if it would have been a binding for the muslim women then in that case all muslim women the world over would have been wearing hijab without any fail, or otherwise they would face a religious Fatwa for not following the set rules of the Holy Quran. But, for the progressive muslim women across the world, it is found that hijab can be considered to be a muslim dress code, but it is more optional than essential. However, in India that is for the courts to decide and the matter is already being looked into by the Karnataka High Court.

when muslim women especially girls are made to understand the very essence of a school or college uniform which has nothing to do with anybody’s religious belief, it is very much possible that the misunderstanding which has been created by some self centered politicians, can be removed and there can once again be calm in the country. But, if that would have been the case then the whole controversy would have not even arisen.

For some politicians it is now becoming a habit to incite unlawful activities by misleading the youth of the country. And this time it is the innocent muslim girl students who have fallen prey to the nefarious designs of these opportunist politicians. It is unfortunate that the country is facing yet another Shaheen Bagh like situation. And, it looks as if the disruptors of peace and tranquility will not rest till they put the country to a test, yet again.

The mere practice of wearing hijab by the muslim women is being given credence over the interpretations and explanations about hijab by the Quranic scholars. So, it is evident that there is a clear contradiction between the law and the practice. And when there are some loop holes somewhere in the system, the opportunists take the advantage and try to exploit the situation. That is where the political hooliganism comes into action.

It is quite evident that those who do not want the country to march on the path of progress with tranquility and peace, fan the flames of hatred to satisfy their nefarious designs. Unlawful agitations have become a toolkit in the hands of Anti national elements which is not a very healthy state of affairs.

Now that the issue is subjudice, therefore, it should be left to the court of law to decide and the verdict should be binding for everyone.

Well, it is not desirable for a country with diverse culture, to let destructive and atrocious mentality play with the sentiments of the people. Undue advantages taken by certain sections of the society cannot be left unnoticed. Such unmindful hooliganism cannot and should not be tolerated at any cost. And, if the Govt. yields to such illogical and absurd demands of some handful of disruptors of peace, then the day is not far when the country will have to face a state of Chios, uncertainty, anarchy and a frightening and dangerous threat of division on the basis of religion.

Therefore, fundamentalism of any kind, whether it is behind the hijab or the saffron scarf, in schools and colleges, if not crushed, is bound to result into a political hooliganism.

Political hooliganism is death of a democratic polity.And a country like India, which believes in a collective development for all, irrespective of caste, colour, creed or religion, cannot afford “POLITICAL HOOLIGANISM”.

All Budget, No Politics

Budget 2022-23 has been a land mark in the history of Indian financial and economic pursuit. A forward looking and a long term budget with a lot of promise and a clear road map for INDIA100.

Though there are elections in five states and Govt. could make the most out of Budget but that is not the way Modi Govt. wanted the financial system to run in the country.

Despite measures being taken to make the system more transparent and citizen friendly, opposition leaves no stone unturned to demean and defame the incumbent Govt. Almost all political parties in one voice termed this budget as election budget, with congress leading the lot. There are leaders who have been expounding the blatant statements regarding the budget labelling it as zero budget for the people.

Mamta Benarjee has been wheedling that budget has been made with a callous mindset and that the tax payer and middle class has been ditched. People living under the poverty line and the down trodden have not even been considered in this budget. TMC leader Derek O’Brien has said that there is nothing for the farmers in this budget. And ironically his leader goes a step ahead terming the budget as ” Pegasus spin budget”.

Rahul Gandhi, who understood the budget in one go immediately after Finance minister Nirmala Sitaraman announced the budget in the parliament, labelled it to be a “Zero sum budget” having nothing for the youth and the farmers.

Similar reactions came from the left, and all those regional parties which have decided to oppose just for the sake of opposition.

While opposition ridiculed the Budget, Finance minister asserted that Budget 2022-23 looks at India100. She was critical of the opposition saying it has not understood the substance and the expression that Govt. has tried to articulate in the budget. She made a very simple and unpretentious explanation of the budget saying the budget is aimed at setting a clear cut road map for futuristic policies where we have scope for modern technology and a state of art infrastructure signifying the parameters set for digital India of the 21st.Century.

A vision for the next 25 years, the budget has everything that a developing economy can perceive for the upliftment of farmers, poor, down trodden, youth, salaried class and the common man. It has everything that could be thought of keeping in view the defence, agriculture, economy, education, tourism, Housing for the needy and above all a proper plan for every investment.

The budget is a befitting reply to those who believe in the formula of repeating the used up and worn out phrases viz. rich getting richer and poor getting poorer. In fact, being blind to every progressive step taken by the Modi Govt. seems to be the compulsion of the opposition just to make their presence felt.

Highlighting some important features of the budget 2022-23 ; India’s economic growth has been estimated to be 9.2% for the current year. PM Gatishakti , Inclusive development, Increase in productivity and financial investment, introduction of 400 new Vande Bharat trains, extension of highways by 25K KMs during 2022-23, creation of 100 new cargo terminals in next 3 years, boost to EDTECH, E-Vidya to be extended to 200 TV channels, Portal for National digital health mission, promotion of digital infrastructure, 100% Post offices to come on core banking system, Rs.1500 Crores for development of North East, 75 digital banking units to be set up in 75 districts signifying Amrit Mahotsav of Independence, issuance of E-Passports roll out in 2022-23, upgradation of electric vehicles infrastructure, green push for public transport in urban areas, push to EV Infra and batteries to be considered a service, End to End E- Bill system to be launched for transparency, 5G spectrum auction in 2022, 5G spectrum to get production incentive from Govt., push to technology, optical fibre in all villages by 2025, 68% defence procurement from domestic market, a big boost to Aatmanirbhar Bharat, Rs.19500 Crore in PLIs for high efficiency solar modules, Capex stepped up by 35.4%, Rs.7.50 lakh crore for 2022, Rs.10.68 lakh crore estimated for 2022-23, over 4% of GDP, Digital Rupee by the Govt., to be issued by the RBI, Blockchain technology for digital Rupee, Rs.1 lakh crore Interest free loan for States, Fiscal deficit revised to 6.9% of the GDP, Co-op. surcharge reduced to 7% for income 1 crore-10 crore, Corrected income tax returns can now be filed in 2 years, Tax deduction for state employees increased to 14%, bringing them at par with Central Govt. employees.

After reviewing the highlights of the 2022-23 budget, hardly can one draw the conclusion that the budget has been presented keeping in view the forth coming elections in five states . This is definitely a budget with a vision, a budget envisaging a desirable future of Contemporary India. A budget that has in store the hope, aspiration, dream and expectation for every Indian rich or poor.

Opposition must have been searching for something that could keep their ball rolling, but alas, they have been left dejected and disappointed because if this budget has nothing in store for it is the POLITICS.

Yes, it is an “ALL BUDGET, NO POLITICS” Budget.

Congress Confused On PM’S Security

Confusion, it looks has now taken the centre stage in the thought process of Congress party and its leadership. Since the BJP Govt.took over the reigns of power from Congress in 2014, opposing Modi has become the past time of almost every Congressman, big or small. All seem to be obsessed with ridiculing Modi for almost everything he does for the country and for the benefit of the citizens.

“Oppose Modi, Ignore India” is the new tag line of their political stance. National priorities are nowhere seen in their political interests and agenda.

Now, a fresh controversy regarding the lapse in PM’s security in Punjab has put the Congress on a back foot. In fact, Congress has been going helter skelter in order to have some face saving in a situation of humiliation which has been designed by none other than its own party members. Be it the CM of Punjab Charanjeet singh Channi, Punjab Congress President Navjot singh Sidhu, CM of Rajasthan Ashok Gehlot, Congress stalwart Digvijay singh and a large number of other Congressmen. Everyone has put Congress in a state of embarrassment. In normal circumstances when PM visits some state it is the protocol that CM,Chief Secy. and the DGP Police have to be present on the arrival. But all the three were not there to receive the PM. This was taken a very serious note of, both by the Central Govt. and the BJP at the same time.

Well, the security of PM happens to be of a prime importance for the State which the PM is visiting. And, no question of taking it in a casual way, as it was by the Punjab administration with regard to providing the PM a foolproof passage on all routes. Police was seen not performing their duty the way it was supposed to. Police DGP had cleared the route for PM while briefing the SPG ( The Special Protection Group ) of the PM. Which means that PM is cleared to pass through the route assigned for his cavalcade. But, the reality was something very disturbing and dangerous. The route on which PM was on his way to the place of event, was in fact obstructed by the protestors who could have been stopped by the state police for the security reasons. But, going as per the statements of the protesting farmer leaders, it was the police who gave them the information about the PM’s route. And this is what is unusual and quite surprisingly doubtful. How can an information which is supposed to be kept secret by the police, be shared with the people who are suspected protestors.

For about twenty minutes PM’s cavalcade got stuck on a highway flyover. And, the SPG had a challenging task at hands. Though the SPG Commandos are trained for all sorts of eventualities but the vehicle in which the PM was sitting was dangerously stuck and anything could have happened. People allegedly termed as farmer protestors, were at a few metres distance from the PM’s car and this can not be a coincidence.

It was only after twenty to twenty five minutes of anxiety, insecurity, risk, endangerment and a direct threat to PM’s life, that the SPG decided to take the PM back to the place of origin without any untoward incident Enroute. A big and unprecedented threat was averted and PM returned safe.

Now, what can we infer from all this? It may look like a Drama, Farce and an election stunt, as most of the Congress leaders put it. But, it can not be as simple as that. It has happened with a lot of thought process behind it. After all it is directly related with the security of the Prime Minister. you can not brush it off so easily. there are agencies who are expected to provide a reliable and unfailing security to the Prime Minister of the country. Instead a series of unruly, irresponsible and silly statements started coming from the ruling Congress party in Punjab and all its leadership needless to mention the Chief Minister Charanjeet Singh Channi.

You can hate an individual, you can hate Narinder Modi, how can you hate the Prime Minister of your own country.

Prime Minister is the Legislative head and it is the position you have to respect and protect. As CM of Punjab you are expected to follow a protocol to receive the PM. Instead you make lame excuses about contracting Covid as such not in a position to receive him. And the very next day you sit in a press conference and resort to very irresponsible utterances not suiting to the position of a CM. You tell the media that PM and the BJP did it with an intention. And that there was no threat to pm’s life. No stones were pelted, no sticks were fired, no bullets shot, then how come PM could get hurt. How ridiculous of a person of the stature of a CM. So, this implies that if unfortunately any untoward incident would take place then only the State administration would come into action. This is what the CM of Punjab Mr. Channi said. It did not stop there. The State President of Congress party Navjot Singh Sidhu went a step ahead and described the incident as Farce, an election stunt, a drama by the PM. Well, if one goes by the track record of Mr.Sidhu one can’t expect something very weighty coming from him as well.

In fact, all that can very easily be drawn out of a very callous behaviour of Congress leaders on an issue that would have shuck the entire administrative machinery of Punjab including the Chief Secretary and The DGP, is that Congress cannot digest the popularity of PM Modi, both at the National as well as the Global arena. And, ironically they hate him to the extent that they undermine their duties and responsibilities they owe to the Nation. This is not only a sad state of affairs but a very serious and grave concern too, for the entire Nation. People of India need to give a very concerted thought to what this age old political party is up to.

A thorough investigation is what needs to be undertaken at the central and the state level for establishing beyond all doubts and speculations, as to what went wrong. And if there is any concrete clue to some game plan or a pre planned conspiracy for putting the life of PM at a risk, that should be brought to light and all those involved should be dealt with sternly and brought to book as soon as possible.

If some international bodies bent upon spreading hatred in India are in some way or the other involved in hatching the deadly conspiracy the Embassies in those countries should immediately be brought into action and asked to make concrete headways in taking the respective Governments into confidence and forge the arrest of such Anti national elements.

Some political parties of Punjab even said in front of press that the assassination plan was being hatched in the office of Congress party and the names they mentioned in their press statements are directly putting the Congress party on the dock. And seriously the party and its leadership will have to make a lot of explanations in order to come clean on everything.

However,all said and done, nothing is really going fine with the Congress party since Mr. Modi took over as the Prime Minister of India in 2014. All sorts of irresponsible and baseless narratives of Congress are the brain child of its Modi hate stance. And this hateful obsession has inadvertently intruded their thinking capabilities that too to the extent of an irreversible damage. It seems as if the party is already in a state of political hibernation and nothing but something very miraculous and unheard of can actually take them out of this uncertainty, ambiguity and unpredictability.

If someone needs to draw a conclusion from all that is happening on the political arena of Congress in the Country, the only conclusion that one can reach to is ; CONFUSION. Since last almost seven years Congress desperately wants to see Rahul Gandhi as their Party Chief, but the moment they do something towards that they are subjected to unprecedented humiliation. So a very frustrating political party though very old finds itself VERY CONFUSED and the security breach in Punjab on PM’s cavalcade is no less than a ‘SELF GOAL’ .

Anything To Oppose Modi

With UP and Punjab elections due in 2022, Opposition has geared up its campaign of opportunist politics. In fact, it is not a new thing for them. They have been doing it since 2014. To be more precise, even before that when Modi was the Chief minister of Gujrat. So, not a big deal.

Opportunist politics is something that holds the centre stage whenever there is something big going to take place. Be it the elections to the State assembly, or that at the centre. Be it the defence programmes, infrastructural development, Health and other related programmes, Education or for that matter the issues relating to the Agriculture and the farmers. We can easily summarize some developmental programmes undertook by the Government for building a new India, and how the opposition, just to oppose Narinder Modi and somehow throw him out of power, tried to sabotage and damage the country’s development through their nefarious designs and venomous political opportunism.

When Modi wanted to give a new dimension to the Country’s ariel security and the over all face lifting of the Indian Air force, a big hue and cry was raised by the opposition when the Rafale fighter aircraft deal with France in 2015 was announced. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the landmark defence deal with France to buy 36 Rafale fighter jets to refurbish Indian air force, and opposition wasted no time to grab the opportunity to mount pressure on the Government for making, as per their own assessment, a dubious deal.

Every Countryman knows , that the new deal of Rafale was a genuine deal and there was nothing that could be a reason for pointing finger towards the centre for making this deal. On 14 December 2018 the Supreme Court too upheld the Rafale deal, stating that no irregularities or corruption have been found. But, to the utter disappointment of the Nation, the Opportunist Opposition even ridiculed the Supreme Court for giving a clean chit to this defence deal. Some shameless politicians who are a novice to the Indian politics, notwithstanding the sanctity of the post of a Prime Minister, called the PM a thief. How much more can one stoop low. Embodiment of utter hatred, that is what they are.

And then during the West Bengal elections there was yet another slogan, “Khela Hobe”. This ambiguous slogan was created by none other than the Didi of Bengal Mamta Benarjee. Well, they say it was purely a political slogan to challenge the BJP in the state of West Bengal. But, the story seemed to be something else. Khela Hobe was not a political challenge to the BJP or any other political party in the fray, instead it looked like a warning to the people of West Bengal that if they dare vote against TMC, they will have to face the consequences. And actually that is what happened during the whole election process in West Bengal. Post poll voilence took an ugly shape and dozens of BJP Workers got killed. It was the most horrible and dirtiest aftermath of any electioneering history of India. what can one make out of all this other than the fear and frustration of Mamta Benarjee and TMC on account of increasing popularity of Modi and BJP in West Bengal.

Religion card is yet another opportunist invasion on the Government masterminded by the Opposition to play the vote bank politics in the Country. All National level political Parties were hand and glove with every small and big party even at the regional level to create a ruckus with a hidden agenda of destabilizing the Government and ridiculing the decisions made by Modi towards the upliftment and progress of all sections of the society at par.

Who can ever forget the scar that was left on the face of the society at Shaheen Bagh. Where people from all political parties left no stone unturned in keeping the issue boiling simply to make the Central Govt. bow down and succumb to the undue pressure that was created by fanatics and pseudo seculars.

Vote bank politics has become every political party’s cup of tea. It is this political weapon which they think is going to take them through in 2022 State elections and 2024 general elections.But, all these political opponents need to understand that they have to deal with a much prudent and politically well versed voter and cheap means of appeasement are bound to lead them to an unprecedented political setback. Instigating different sections of the society on religious basis, for these political opportunists, is going to boomerang and the lesson has to be learnt before it is too late for them and they are left with nothing but an extinction on the National arena.

Who can forget the statements made by some leaders of very big political parties regarding the Ram Mandir at Ayodhiya. Some even questioned the very existence of Lord Rama. All these misadventures proved futile and they could gather nothing but the mass opposition for uttering such baseless and false contentions and hurting the sentiments of the Majority community at large.

Likewise, there was a huge attempt to disrupt the peace when Modi announced the demonetization of all ₹500 and ₹1,000 banknotes of the Mahatma Gandhi Series on 8th Nov.2016. No chance was literally left to defame Narinder Modi and his Government. But, thanks to the strong resolve of a very great and world class statesman in Mr.Modi, that the storm passed peacefully and the people of the country recognised, acknowledged and accepted the need for demonetization. Despite of the fact that the whole opposition was left isolated and literally secluded, they continued their undemocratic, irrational , unprincipled and vicious campaign against this political giant.

There can be hundreds of such examples where one can infer the malafide and nefarious designs of the opposition to destabilize the Modi Government and mutilate the new progressive image of the Country on the Global level. These shameless politicians even went begging the neighboring countries to help and support them in throwing Modi out. This can be nothing but political bankruptcy and a dangerous urge to grab power from the back door. Because they know it very well, in fact they can read the writing on the wall very clearly that their political career has been sealed by Modi and they have to starve politically for rest of their life.

And, lately when the Government passed the farmers’ bill in the Parliament, for the betterment of the farmers, opposition with the help of some Anti national forces and some so called International celebrities who know nothing about Agriculture and farmers and even through the illegal in flow of hawala money tried to misguide, mislead and instigate some so called farmers’ bodies to create a state of unrest in the country. There were timely assurances from the Agriculture minister and other Government authorities to the farmers that Government is committed to safeguard the interests of the Indian farmer. But all in vain. the opposition was up to something else. And, that is only and only Modi hatred. Modi who acted like a real well wisher of farmers came forward and to end the state of chaos in the country, announced the repealment of the farm laws.

And, this is what is making them wild, rough, unmanaged, untamed, uncivilized, provocative, trackless, unpopular, ill tempered, and politically violent. That is why they are behaving like unruly goons to go to any extent and to do, ” ANYTHING TO OPPOSE MODI.”

Aftermath Of Polls In Bangal

Bangal, it seems, is trapped in a grip of post poll voilence. Even pre poll as well, since the day Mamta Banerjee, just out of the blue, announced something unique. Unique in the sense that such things are not or cannot be associated wih politics. “Khela Hobe”.This Bangali slogan, TMC says, has been written by Debangshu Bhattachariya a young Bangali TMC member. But this two word slogan “Khela Hobe” does not look like so simple a statement. Especially when being related to politics. In the language of sports it speaks of game, win, loss and friendship. But TMC used it in politics with altogether a different meaning. With a venomous language that was used by Mamta Banerjee all through the electioneering campaign, the claim that this sporty slogan was game,win,loss and friendship, is hard to digest.

The hidden meaning of this very sporty slogan is beyond anybody’s imaginaion. Let us try to analyze it. Firstly when we talk of politics and elections both are not akin to a sport. Politics is altogether a different ball game, while as elections are not some “Gudda Guddi ka KHEL”.

A strong sense of alienation is gripping the Bangal politics and TMC and Mamta Banerjee are watching this dangerous state of affairs like silent spectators. Khela Hobe slogan, as they say is trending now in Bangal, is something which speaks volumes about what Bangal is going to witness in the coming days .

Mamta raised this slogan during her election campaign but no one could imagine the “Khela”. Killing more than 150 BJP workers before elections and now the post poll voilence, arson and political vandalism killing half a dozen BJP workers, is no less than an ugly political Khela of arrogance and vengeance.

If this was not the prepoll plot for a dirty political Khela than why this barbaric post poll voilence by the TMC goons?

Mamta Banerjee won the elections and returned to power with an absolute majority. How ? THAT REMAINS A MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION. But that in no way should be a barrier for the Indian courts to take a serious cognizance of the sequence of events right from the day Mamta burst the cracker ” Khela Hobe” during her election campaign in her own state Bangal, about which she also said, Maa, Matti, Manush. And today in the post poll scenario all the three are drenched in blood. What sort of a Khela is this.?

No seasoned and politically tall leader can call election as Khela. Election is a national festival. It decides the fate of the people of a state. Election commission works day in and day out to make the process a grand success without any untoward incident taking place during the course of elections. And you call it a “Khela “. Perhaps Mamta Didi is not inferring from the happenings that Bangal is burning. Every TMC worker has become furious, unruly and venomous. They are indulging in loot, arson and killings. Is this what you call “Khela Hobe”, Mamta ji.? Today every BJP worker in Bangal is scared, frightened and is being harassed by TMC workers. In such a state of affairs in Bangal why can’t one draw the conclusion that Khela Hobe is reffered to a statement or more precisely to a commitment that if TMC comes to power in Bangal, all those who voted against, would be taught a horrifying lesson.

Elections in Bangal seem to be altogether a different story. In an interesting development that took place during the first three phases of the election when Prashant Kishore a very famous political analyst or if we say a political strategist on whose shoulders Mamta fought the Bangal elections, in an interview to a very renowned journalist on his channel confessed with full command and confidence that if Mamta Banerjee loses and if BJP gets more than one hundred seats in Bangal elections, he would “QUIT”. When he broke this news even the interviewer got stunned for some time and was speechless. But later he asked as to why would he quit. He happens to be a professional hence can’t efford to be emotional. But Prashant kishore was adamant to what he had said. Totally refusing to change his mind. So this was a big risk any professional would take in his or her career. Now, this confidence, conviction and credence definitely needs a very strong base and a level playing field to stand on. Well AVM hacking etc. will be too early to predict. It is a matter of great importance and concerned bodies may at an appropriate time probe into the whole election process and bring the facts to the fore. Even Mamta Banerjee also at various occasions uttered a lot of things about the Election Commission. Which could have been very sensibly avoided. But, anyways..

Therefore a post poll enquiry should not be ruled out. However, central Govt. needs to take a strong notice of the post poll violence in Bangal which is taking a very ugly turn in view of the unruly TMC goons unleashing terror and not even sparing the women.

A high level investigating team needs to be constituted under the aegis of Supreme court to have an insight of the political violence claiming human lives and loss of private and public property, before it is too late.

Thumping Victory For The BJP. Opposition Decimated.

With 303 seats of its own BJP alongwith its allies crossed a huge 350 mark. A thunderous triumph that made history. Only after a three decades time has such miraculous mandate been offered to a political party by the Indian voter.

Almost all Exit polls declared on the 19th evening by various psephologists and pollsters after the completion of 7th and the last phase of a gigantic, eventful and tiresome general election, hit the target as per the people’s expectations, and these eletion results brought a big smile on the face of ruling BJP and an unending sadness in the opposition circles.

Ecstasy was the order of the day in the BJP camp while there was a perpetuous lull in the congress and allies camps.

.Congress may soon go into a state of shock for yet another five years for not being able to tackle the poll strategy and planning of the BJP election strategist and the party president Amit Shah.

Well everything is not good in the congress camp. Arrogance, in fight, leadership issues and an alarmingly dangerous state of frustration for not being in power has almost destroyed the very existance of the Grand old party.

And as a result of this, if we analyze the whole election campaign it can be very easily ascertained that this election campaign has been the dirtiest and the most ugliest of all election campaigns so far. Reason being very simple. A one point agenda, “Hatred towards Modi”. They somehow wanted to get rid of Modi at the centre. “Modi ko hatao’ was their ultimate election manifesto. And this is what made them pay a heavy price.

There was not a single election rally or a road show where the opposition didn’t ridicule Narinder Modi and that too for just nothing. And they knew it but they still wanted to unleash a storm of hatred towards the PM. But all their nefarious designs to defame and dislodge Modi proved futile.

It was not only the Congress but all other smaller and regional political parties, which were not a part of the NDA, who left no stone unturned to target and embarrass the PM. But the PM was least effected by such rhetoric and political drama.

In fact congress can’t blame others for the debacle it went through. It is the frustration within that is slowly but steadily squeezing the survival instinct out of the party fold. Here it is important to mention that since the unfortunate death of Smt.Indira Gandhi congress has been fighting tooth and nail for it survival. The only shortcoming that is creating all sorts of hindrances and hitches is the issue of leadership. Congress does’nt have a rock solid leader like Indira Gandhi who could bring the party out of troubled waters. Relying on Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi has in fact added to the party’s miseries. Somtimes it looks as if the Gandhi family is the only barrier which is rendering the party ineffectual.

But anyways it is said that after every climax there is a downfall. It is the congress which has to introspect and come out with a viable remedy to keep all its objectionable features at bay.

No doubt India happens to be the biggest democracy in the world. But that does not mean that one can irresponsibly and senselessly tarnish the country’s image and take the democratically established institutions for granted. You have to hold country’s security and integrity above everything. You can not as a responsible politician be hand in hand with the people who are bent upon denting the core principles of unity and social equality. You carry a duty towards nation which impliedly asks you to refrain from encouraging the unlawful and anti national elements.

Democratic system of polity never gives you a certificate or right to abuse your opponent to the extent of causing personal damage to his or her integrity and self respect. Congress president and all its cadre in fact were contesting a self proclaimed competition to abuse the Prime Minister of the country with their cruel, vicious, ferocious, barbaric, fierce and cut throat unparliamentary language. And this kind of an unreasonable and arrogant approach led to their failure.

well it looks to be an endgame for Congress the grand old party of India. and this election has put a last nail in the coffin. It will take no less than a miracle to gather the scattered pieces of a wrecked ship. And whether the pieces could be reutilized or reunited to give some shape to otherwise a destroyed and divided entity, is a million dollar question.

The incumbent Government is trusted once again by the people of India to be the uncontested claimant for being at the helm of affairs for yet another term. Well this in fact does not coe so easily .you need to earn it through your untiring hard work, selfless dedication and a firm resolve to face all odds in order to reach your cherished goal and Modi has undoubtedly served the nation with utmost sincerity, dedication and hard work at his command. And no one can even raise a finger on his way of handling the administration. Working for more than 16 hours and making the complete administrative machinery deliver as per his requirements and satisfaction speaks volumes about his patriotism and love for the Nation. And he has by all parameters been a very hard taskmaster.

Let us not talk about his social life which ultimately is his prerogative.But what he thinks is good for him and for the Nation needs to be acknowledged. His sacrifices, his commitments and his administrative skills and potentialities are a big national treasure and every responsible citizen ought to contribute in whatever way he or she can towards Nation building and nevertheless as a helping hand to a man who is always there to reciprocate the gesture of goodwill.

Modi’s achievements during the last five year term of his Government are visible and undeniable. Without going into the details of the schemes he conceived and acted upon to reach the smallest man let us try to analyze the tremendous change country has seen on the economic, social, scientific and international fronts. Today India is the largest growing economy of the world . India is now 7th largest economy of the world. India is behind by only $105 and $119 bn from 6th and 5th ranked France and United Kingdom, respectively.

India is at 3rd position after China and Japan among Asian countries. India shares around 9% of total Asia’s GDP (nominal).

During the UPA regime India was struggling with an inflation rate in between 9 and 10 percent. which fell even to 3.6% during Modi regime.

Social security, women empowerment and employment is yet another sector where Modi Govt. has put in a result oriented effort in order to address these key areas.

India has gained an unpresedented repute in the international arena on almost all fronts and commands a respectful position in the world fora.India has been able to forge support in declaring Masood Azhar as global terrorist despite China’s initial hindrances in the shape of repeated vetoes and technical holds. And ultimately succumbing to the International pressure spearheaded by India.

Be it electrification, construction of tiolets, allotment of houses to the poor and downtrodden, productive schemes for the farmers with an aim to raise their income, construction of roads to enhance road connectivity, reforming railways and upgrading the existing system. Allotment of cooking gas to the rural women so as to free them from the miseries of smoke spoiling their eyes. Modi who himself coes from a very poor back ground had not to learn it from others as to how he needs to serve the poor and the socially suppressed section of he society.

To cut it short it can not be denied that the previous 5 year term of Modi in office has been an era one can talk about with a great sense of pride, satisfaction and gratification.

Friends Modi and his team earned the trust of the voter of India. All one can hope is that the new Government opens up new horizons of hope, health and prosperity for the people of India in particular and that of the world in general. And India takes a leap forward to becoming “Vishv Guru”.

And needless to mention….Congress needs to do a lot of churning and a very serious and in depth introspection to even think of being a reasonable and respectable opposition to the ruling BJP. And a very friendly suggestion which they really need to think over with a great deal of concern is that there is no room for blatant lies, shameless propaganda, rhetoric and bizzare rumour mongering in healthy politics.

All the very best to the new Modi Government for another glorious term in the office.

Congress Suffers Internal Complexity Dilemma.

This election season congress seems to be suffering from a very severe internal complexity dilemma. It is unable to understand as to how it should address the dilemma which it is very badly entangled in.Though fragmented but still pretending to be one. Perhaps it is a situation created by the people well within the party through their irresponsible public statements and utterances or by the party president himself, because he too most of the times seems to be losing the track politically, when he unleashes his abusive attitude to defame and demoralize the Prime minister of the country either on the basis of his own behaviour or on the behest of other external forces best known to Mr. Gandhi himself.

But anyways whatever the reason congress is slowly but very alarmingly getting itself on the edge and it is evident from the actions of its top leaders including their both former and current party presidents, as if they are themselves bent upon drowning their own ship. And this can very easily be ascertained by the fact that most of the prominent congressmen are leaving the party one by one like rats deserting the sinking ship.

Let us try to analyse as to why congress is losing its ground in so far as proving itself to be the grand old party which can withstand the challenge posed by the growing strength of BJP, in the ensuing elections. Worries started to ensue since the leaders like Manishanker Iyer in an interview to some Pakistan media in Pakistan said that there could be no peace and friendship between the two countries till Narinder Modi happens to be the PM of India. Not only this he shamelessly went further begging the Pakistan leadership and the media to help congress in removing Modi from power in India. Before that in 2014 elections he had abused Modi terming him “NEECH” and that once congress comes in power they will give him a place to make “TEA” . Now who will tell this immodest fellow how low he has stooped in uttering such irresponsible statements.

And coming to Sandeep Dikshit MP from East Delhi, son of former CM of Delhi Shiela Dikshit, who once termed the Army Chief Bipin Rawat as ” Goon on the Street” meaning ” Gali ka Gunda”, another bizarre example of shameless hypocrisy.

And what did Shashi Tharoor once said while quoting RSS which he said had once compared Modi to a scorpion sitting on the Shiv Linga which can neither be removed by hand nor hit by a chappel ( Slippers, moccasin ). This is how congressmen try and exploit the situation just to degrade and defame someone who happens to be the Prime Minister of the biggest democracy on the globe.

You won’t believe a very senior spokesperson of the congress party Pawan Khera blatantly and most disgracefully tried to give meaning of the word MODI. According to him MODI means; M for Masood, O for Osama, D for Dawood and I for ISI. A common man and a very true Indian can very well understand the frustration which the congress party is going through nowadays.

To name a few more who not only uttered slang against the PM but also tried to defame Mr.Modi on all grounds. Kapil Sibbal one of the most decorated lawyers of the Supreme court, reliable and trustworthy leader of the Congress said that maintaining politics of truth and respect would not be possible if PM Modi was around. this is not only defaming but derogatory as well on part of Mr. Sibbal.

Another leader from the congress party Mr. Kirti Azad, who once said that he joined BJP because the party ideology impressed him a lot but Prime Minister Narendra Modi defrauded the nation by his jumla politics and blamed him for making false promises and said there was no internal democracy within the BJP.  He also flayed Modi over his statement, ‘Na kahunga na khane doonga’ (will not indulge in graft, neither will let others do so), saying the party that talked about fighting corruption “back stabbed” him on the DDCA issue.

Coming to yet another stalwart of the grand old party Mr.Randeep singh Surjewala. Mr. Surjewala in fact crossed all limits when he called PM Modi as “Pakhandi”. After all how low these congressmen will stoop, who by their face value seem to be civilized, polite and sensitive towards political parables and etiquettes

Likewise there has been a fierce competition going on, in the congress party, in calling names and blaming the PM. And their party president has left no stone unturned to defame and demoralize the PM. but thanks to the towering stature of PM Modi it has not affected him even an iota. Chowkidaar chor hai is Rahul Gandhi’s latest line. And who knows perhaps it might be the only line sufficient to erase him and his party fold from the political slate of the nation.

Similarly on the economic front also the opposition is not able to find the track where they could see and visualize the speed of growth and development in all most all walks of life. be it infrastructure, (roads, railways, airports ),farmer friendly schemes, concrete homes for financially weak and down trodden, cleanliness, sanitation and sawch Bharat projects, science and technology, employment generation, women empowerment, upliftment of rural poor, education, agriculture, military matters, foreign policy and a strong stance in curbing the terrorism, congress is in a very dangrous mode of denial. which is not in the longer interest of the country and this they will have to understand.

well it doesn’t seem to be difficult to understand the frustration and fear through which congress party is going nowadays. being out of power for five years has to a greater extent dented their patience and made them insensitive and disrespectful towards the ruling party, and such a situation is very precarious and dangerous. Our age old enemy country Pakistan is getting it the way it wants. Pakistan media has got enough to throw it back to India when it comes to asking them for introspection and setting their home right.

lastly, it is very much evident that if such a state of affairs prevails in the country for long the day is not far when the whole world will ridicule India for its political immaturity which is taking hostage the over all image of the country politically. ( both internally as well as internationally.)

Something miraculous has to happen to set the state of affairs “RIGHT”.

What Next In J&K

The PDP-BJP government in Jammu & Kashmir took the oath of office on 1 March,2015 in the Zorawar Singh Stadium of Jammu, with Mufti Mohammad Sayeed as chief minister for the full term of six years and Nirmal Singh of BJP as deputy CM. Prime Minister Mr. Narender Modi was also present at the oath taking ceremony. Twelve cabinet ministers from each party were also sworn-in. This was the first time that the BJP was a coalition partner in the Jammu and Kashmir government. Lone and independent MLA for Udhampur, Pawan Kumar Gupta, were also sworn-in as cabinet ministers from the BJP’s quota.

Mufti Mohammad Sayeed and the BJP leadership in state as well as at the centre knew that the coalition was not what the people of the state voted for, but to honour the mandate of all the three regions of jammu and kashmir they had no other option than to form a govt. so that the eventuality of a fresh election could be averted. This was a coalition formulated under compulsion and more importantly to uphold the people’s mandate, because it was a clear cut divided but outright mandate for both parties in valley for PDP and in the jammu province for BJP.

“We have to merge North Pole and South Pole,” said Mufti Mohammad Sayeed after taking oath as the new chief minister of the state of Jammu & Kashmir. “We want to make this alliance a turning point. We want to do justice to the people of Jammu & Kashmir “, he asserted. But since the advent of the Mufti rule in J&K it was quite evident that there was difference of opinion and policy clash between the two parteners and everything was not going so well and the ultimate sufferers were  the people of Jammu & Kashmir.

May be things would have been different and the Govt. would also last for its complete term if Mufti’s death would have not occured. On 7th January 2016 when Mufti Mohammad Sayeed breathed his last, it was a day of total chaos and the fate of the state was struck in a phase of confusing uncertainty.

It took quite a time for Mehbooba Mufti to go into an alliance with the BJP . Only political gurus can be carrying an opinion about her late decision. Or may be the BJP could not convince her just because she might have come with some special agenda of her own, which could have posed constraints on the BJP as well. But anyways they somehow entered an alliance of compulsion.

Why to call it an alliance of compulsion is not a difficult thing to understand. But that in fact was the arrangement that could be sought at that point in time.

No matter the Govt. lasted for more than three years but there were huge differences between the two parteners to the extent that the statements given by their leaders would never match. Exactly North and South pole, as the late Mufti put it.

Opposition also never let an opportunity go in taunting and ridiculing the alliance partners.

To be more precise the coalition was termed as unholy in the political circles and it was perhaps this pressure which proved counter productive for both BJP and PDP that led to the breakup.

Blame game was what was going on for all these three years and development was eluding the state of Jammu and Kashmir. And if some hope for the peace to return was there that too was marred by the decision taken by the central ministry on the consistant persuance of CM Mehbooba Mufti, who always believed on the theory of tripartite talks between India, Pakistan and the people of Kashmir. ( Whether people of Kashmir for her include Kashmiri Pandits, Ladakhis and the people from Kargil, will best be known to her.)

BJP attributed the pulling out of alliance to various other factors and forcible decisions like amnesty to the stone pelters on the ground that they were the “first timers” who got misled by the separatist leaders.

An unethical demand of talks with Pakistan, who does’nt respect the sanctity of ceasefire during the month of Ramadaan, a month meant for prayer and peace. Not being in line with the ideology of the alliance partner on economic and other developmental agendi. All this also was not proving to be productive for the soft running of the Govt.

PDP always postured for talks with Hurriyat and the soft stance of Mehbooba towards the separatist amalgamate created a sense of distrust and idiosyncratic belief which led to BJP pulling out of alliance.

Alliance is over. WHAT NEXT?

Well that is what has to be seen with an eye on general elections in 2019. Though His Excelency Governor Sh. N. N. Vohra sent the recommendation of Governor rule to the President which was accepted forthwith. How the change of guard is going to improve the worsening situation in the state will be closely watched not only by the political crirics in India but internationally as well.

However, certain important areas are bound to get the special attention by the incumbent arrangement. And the decision that Army will be given a free hand may to a greater extent be very fruitful in curbing the terrorist activities and bringing normalcy back in the terror hit state.

It is expected that Operation all out will get a further boost during the governor rule in neutralizing the militant ranks and giving a set back to Pakistan sponsored proxy war against India.

Governor N N Vohra’s suggestions to the central Govt. after taking the reigns of power into his hands included a new national security policy, a new anti-terror law, a specialised national security administrative cadre and the creation of a new ministry for national security. All this seems to be the demand of the hour anf definitely centre will have to consider it on a broader perspective keeping in view the terrorist and anti national activities of Kashmir in particular and that of the rest of the country in general.

So, all that can be hoped is a changed scenario in the Valley, fulfillment of Operation all out with a firm resolve, silencing the Anti national voices, dealing with corruption and other financial malpractices and misappropriations, boosting up of the tourism industry which happens to be the back bone of State’s economy, motivating the misled youth to shun violence and contribute to the National cause, a safe and dignified return of Kashmiri Hindus to their homes and hearths in the valley and last but not the least ensuring an everlasting peace  thereby creating a conducive atmosphere for free and fair elections in the State of Jammu and Kashmir to put it on the rails of development, peace, prosperity and progress.

Murder Of Mandate

Karnataka people voted in the assembly elections a few days back.

As per the number of seats won by the three main contenders in the race for power it was the BJP with 104 seats emerging as the single largest party.

Apparently it was quite evident that the people of Karnataka wanted a change in the state administration with Siddaramaiya proving to be a complete failure in running a corruption free government in Karnataka.

That is why with 122 in their kitty they were rejected getting only 78 this time. A clear cut anti incumbency vote against the congress regime.

BJP got elevated to a position where they could claim the right to form the government with a total tally of 104 in their favour which fell short by 8.

BUT if we analyse the results of the Karnataka elections we will come to know That if it was not a clear mandate in favour of BJP which in fact was, it was never a mandate for the congress party to return to power at all.

Congress got rejected but the dirty game of politics was yet to come in play. Congress immediately came out with a politically motivated proposal of “sacrificing” CM’s post for a dalit.

Now, whether it was a sacrifice for dalits or a hunger for power which could only be attained from the back door and the easiest and the most unethical way to do it was bowing before a party which was too far away from even thinking to be in the race for power and the leader of the same party is now the CM of Karnataka as a result of an alliance which every political guru can understand as to whether it is a fair weather alliance or a long lasting alliance.

BJP with 104 MLAs did not forge an alliance with JDS at the cost of their self respect. They claimed to form a government on the basis of being the single largest and that it was just a co incidence that they fell short of a few seats. But people’s mandate was evidently in favour of BJP.

So if some political experts are of the opinion that BJP should have not claimed the stake to form the government at the very onset it looks that they are not assessing the political scenario on logical ground. BJP has been asked to form the government by the people of Karnataka giving them the highest number of MLAs.

So it was a right decision having been taken by the BJP after keeping the sentiments of people into consideration.

It was now the duty of some of the MLAs from other parties to uphold the mandate of the people and support the single largest party so that a popular government could be in place as per the aspirations of the people of Karnataka.

BUT the power thirst can make you forget even the basic standards of humanity. MLAs of congress and JDS were treated as cattle.Herded by the congress and JDS the MLAs were cattle driven from one hotel to the other.when your leaders don’t trust you this is how you are treated .

On the day of floor test CM yeddurappa after giving a very emotional and powerful speech in the assembly as to how the parties which can come to any possible low to grab power did use unfair strategy and created an unholy alliance to sabotage his govt.which was formed just to keep the people’s aspirations into consideration .

As a reminder we should know that in fact congress and JDS are the two banks of a river which can never meet. But this unholy alliance between these two political rivals is nothing but a total deceit with the people of Karnataka for which both will have to pay very heavily in the political battle ahead. People will teach them a lesson as to how dreadful it can be politically if their mandate is dishonoured distorted disrespected and manipulated to suit their political ambitions and also to keep BJP out of power which has with the continued success of the PM both on national and international fronts been the flashpoint of their growing hatred against this political giant.

Further the show off on the day of oath taking of Kumaraswamy can in no way be treated as a threat to Modi’s return to power in 2019 only on the ground that all these political leaders who were displaying unity in diversity in fact happens to be a diversity in unity.And every participating leader knew it much better than their political critics. All of them present on the dias are basically each other’s political enemy and displaying friendship was nothing but a political gimmick played by each one of them simply to keep BJP out of power in a state where people in fact wanted BJP to rule but by wooing the religious seers and priests congress and JDS succeeded in their dirty game plan but to their utmost astonishment the resignation of CM Yeddurappa well before the floor test not only made them think over what they did but it also gave a huge credibility to his own political stature in the eyes of the people of Karnataka.

All that remains to be seen is the longevity of this opportunist alliance which was formed out of prejudice,hatred and sheer thirst and hunger for power through whichever means it came. Even if it came to them by sacrificing their own party principles or by shaking hands with them who once threw them out of power.

So, this power game in politics is what seems to be the name of the game in this part of the world.

Mindless Nasty And Silly

First Bihar and now Gujarat. All that is happening in Maharashtra under the most irresponsible and opportunist leadership of a local political party is entirely against the ethics of healthy politics.

First they targetted Biharies and now they are ruthlessly being outrageous against the innocent Gujraties.

Is this what they want to do in Maharashtra particularly in Mumbai which by default happens to be the economic capital of India. Cleansing of Non Maharashtrians and boosting of being  proud Marathas.This is not done. A party leader and his party workers need to introspect. They can not unleash a spree of fear and horror on innocent people of India like this.

Please think over it and give it a serious thought as to why are you hell bent to ruin the age old social fabric of Maharashtra which is going to be disasterous because you have just to start and the anti national elements active in Maharashtra who never let the opportunities go out of their hands  will cash it if they think that it is in one way or the other going to help them in their nefarious designs to destroy peace and harmony in the state of Maharashtra in particular and that of the country in general.

Who does not know it that Shiv sena had to pay a big price on account of its division after the death of the great Shiv sena Supremo Bal Thakery.

Well to go a bit further and recall the latest incidents in Mumbai and elsewhere in Maharashtra, Democracy suffered a big jolt and got dented  to unprecedented magnitude when an arrogant and unruly mob of a political faction resorted to unlawful activities damaging public and private properties and creating a strong sense of hatred among the people of different state origin. That too in a state where every Indian comes with his most cherished dream.

How can somebody enchroach upon the democratic right of innocent people simply to satisfy his or her personal ego and political arrogance.

There are many ways to express your anguish and protest. Damaging public or private property is vandalism which is the most unacceptable means of protest.

Mindless propaganda and political vandalism is not going to get any support from any political party regional or national. Even one of the Congress spokespersons has been very much critical of the modus operandi unleashed by some miscreants.

At one time you are all praise for Modi and the Gujarat model of political and administrative set up. And then a complete U turn. Now what happened to that political wisdom.  Political instincts of big and seasoned leaders are never so fragile and short lived. On the other hand they always keep  their political temperament under control and command a very calm and composed persona.As and when political opportunists feel that it is going to serve their political ambitions It is only then that they  unleashe an unprecedented assault on non Maharashtrians. How far these heroic political stunts and anti social misendeavours are going to take them in  pursuit for a cherished political goal that only the people of Maharashtra can decide at an appropriate time. Well till then it seems that the Non Maharashtrians in Mumbai and other parts of Maharashtra will have to face it unabatedly and mercilessly at the hands of those who believe in taking law in their own hands.

Well the most unfortunate part of it is that we come across a situation too grave to be ignored and the most we do is that we react to it instantly giving people to believe that the evil has well been taken care of. But actually the administration works swiftly simply serving an eye wash to silence people and hush up the matter as the dust settles. Ironic but true. even the police, sometimes it looks beyond any doubt, is just unable to plug the breach. We can either attribute it to the professional incapability or inaction at the behest of those who have vested interest to spark political unrest through their anti social activities and create a sense of insecurity and fear.

same thing happened with Kashmeeri Pandits in Kashmeer in the year 1990. In fact it had started much earlier but the actual game plan was brought into being in 1990 when three lac innocent,patriotic and the most elite race of Kashmeeries, were thrown out of their Mother land, by the terrorists on the behest of their Pakistan based terrorist organisations and their masters. The fundamentalist and separatist forces called it JEHAD for freedom. It was a clear cut genocide which was unleashed in the valley to create a horrible sense of fear among the hindu minorities thereby forcing them to leave their homes and hearths and flee to other parts of India. Similarly a fear phobia is being mounted in the state of Maharashtra just to compel the Non Maharashtrians to flee from the state. It is no less than the same illogical Jehad which was thrust on the Hindus in the valley of Kashmeer. This is not going to stop here. In a planned manner the other Non maharashtrians who have come and settled in Mumbai and elsewhere in the State wil  also meet the same fate. As some political outfits are hell bent on throwing out people from other States in a well planned and phased manner. This cannot and should not be left unnoticed as was done in the case of Kashmeeri Hindus. Because any small spark of hatred and separatism, if left unheeded, can turn into a big fire which can be disastrous and  catastrophic for the National unity and Integrity.

These over ambitious politicians should know that a frog in a well thinks that this is what world is all about. Because it cannot see beyond.

“Frog in the well” is used to describe an individual who cannot or refuses to see the big picture because of being sheltered and close-minded.  His rule is restricted by the horizon which he can never break free from. He doesn’t control what lies beyond,and still believes  himself to be the king of the world.
This mindless, nasty and silly community bias and sectarial divide needs to be checked and got rid of once and for all lest it is too late.
