India is the mother of democracy. She is the largest democracy of this planet. She is an epitome how a democracy should run, how a government should govern.” Haven’t we heard these lines frequently on television, read it in our civics book? But is it so what we have heard? The recent incident doesn’t agree to this.
Our constitution has given us the power to elect our leader and our representative. After every five years, we get a chance to show the power mongers that they are not permenant rulers, the mark on our index finger remind us of our power, the power of democracy. And finally when that elected party members take the oath in the Rashtrapati Bhavan in Delhi, we know we have done our job well. We hope for a futuristic societal norms at their hands. The Prime Minister, however hold a different position altogether in the nation as well as in our hearts. No matter from which political group he belongs to, the respect for him is the same inside every commoner.
This, any disrespect to him is the disrespect to those whom the represent- India and its people. The recent incident in Punjab, under the Congress rule is the ultimate shame an opposition can cast on its nation. Prime Minister’s security breach is so terrifying ,at least in a country like India who has lost her two Prime Minister due to their security breaches. How can the state government be so irresponsible? How can they turn their hatred towards the Prime Minister to the hatred towards India?
Well, the Indian liberals have again proved that we don’t need Tom and Jerry movie to be get entertained, we have them. Self proclaimed author like Sanjukta Basu asked whether Google maps don’t show a highway if it is blocked. Bigot journalist like Arfa Kahnum Sherwani even mocked that she had been stuck in jam for 25 minutes and was feeling unsafe. Congress MP Srinivas had asked Prime Minister “how is the Josh?” and this drama seem to be endless. We have often heard that to run a democracy we need a strong opponent. But believe me, it’s half truth. To run a democracy we need a strong and HEALTHY opposition.
Yes, an opposition who would oppose the government on the latter’s selfish policies without losing an weight of hair of respect towards the people’s choice: The Prime Minister. Unfortunately, Congress the main opposition party lacks it!
