It is highly deplorable that the right for equality of a section of society has been ignored by the law makers of this country for the last 70 years because of their vote-bank politics. The shameless congress party had the guts to turn down the court verdict on Shah Bano case. And the then opposition parties also had their share of blood and hence, supported the legislation silently. This means, those sitting in the so-called temple of democracy can do anything to suit their need even by trashing the judgement of a court of law..!! and the common man has no venue to look for justice. It is perplexing to see that the decision to impose emergency for political reasons was also taken at this ‘temple of democracy’…!!! I truly wish that a true gentleman from our Armed Forces should take over the reins of power for a 5 year period, cleanse the so-called democracy thoroughly of its ills and install a presidential form of government in line with that of United States of America, but with a maximum of 3 or 4 national level political parties.
When will we see transparency in governance? When will Uniform Civil Code come? When will the trains be safer to travel? When will the management of banks be held responsible for the NPAs which runs to billions of rupees? When will the legislation for political reform come? When will the political parties be held responsible for their lapses and un-fulfilled promises? When will the political parties become transparent and file their returns? When will the caste/religion-based reservation and politics end? When will a common man get justice in a court within a year or less? When will education and medical help be available to all?
All the above ills and much more will never end with the current brand of shameless, self-centered politicians in power. The cure can only be brought in by a responsible, truly patriotic officer of our Armed forces….. ofcourse not like the ones we have in our neighbourhood. The officer should take over the Government, set a time-bound programme, implement it ruthlessly, see to it that the systems, checks and balances are in place, help form a democratic government, allow it to run for sometime under the supervision of the Armed Forces, upon satisfactory performance, hand-over power to the people. Jai Hind….
