Lets move

…………… Gujjars demanded reservation. ……assuaged with usual political tenor …. Violent agitations begins. The northern part of India was burning. The life was at the stanstill. The vehicles were burnt. The cops were slaughtered. Innocent people were butchered. The prime minister felt it suffice to appeal the mob. He had no guts to suppress the violence. The transport passing through Rajasthan was not allowed to move. The most vocal politicians were silent. They were busy in appraising vote bank politics. The Rajasthan Govt. beseeched the compromise and exulted for an interim respite.
Once again, it was Supreme Court, which took cognizance and issued suo motu notice by terming the incidences as National shame. The most vocal speaker of the parliament did not show up, who use to castigate Supreme Court’s intervention in any executive matter. No other politicl leader had the guts to comment upon this violence.

When the country witnessed this holocaust, we could also taste the reality of privatization of trade, commerce and business. An air ticket from Delhi to Jaipur was costing Rs. 9,000 approx, whereas in normal days it costs ……… Private airlines were extracting money and put the passengers on the tenterhooks. The prices of vegetable and food grain touched the sky and neither the govt. nor the authorities pondered these issues. This is another paradigm of malfeasance by the private business houses, which looked for their interest only even by putting the nation on tenterhooks.

The time has come when we should call a spade a spade. Being the citizen of India, we must raise our voice against the unethical practice followed by the political leaders. We, being so called intellectual class must contribute our share to the nation. Lets move.
