Ahmedabad Blasts: Time to Take Back the Government

My Dear Dr. Manmohan Singh,

I don’t care if you read much less respond to this. You are after all, another inconsequential pawn who might be remembered by posterity in the same breath as Ambhi , and Jaichand.

I’m writing this because it is still not too late for you to develop a spine. I’m writing this more because I have immense faith in this nation as I’m aware of, and in touch with the ethos that has shaped it, sustains it still, and I have faith that it will reoccupy the position as the Mother of all civilizations as it once did.

However, I have a few questions for you in the wake of soap-opera like terror attacks that is being inflicted upon my dear nation everyday ever since you were puppeted into Prime Ministership.

  • Just what have you and your crooked clique of your boss-woman, her spoilt brat, and the entire gang of charlatans, cowards, crooks, defaulters, frauds, goons, hooligans, murderers, rapists, thieves, and thugs that go by the collective noun of Cabinet been doing for four precious years?
  • Is India a laboratory for terrorists to perfect their art? Or have you by repealing tough terror laws sent them a signal that my country is indeed such a lab?
  • How exactly do your collective brains work? By banking on the fact that public memory is short, or on past evidence that the people of India–and Hindus specifically–can be pushed around endlessly?
  • Since your potpourri of 20-odd parties is the worst communal-casteist combination my country has seen so far, am I correct in assuming that none of you folks can look beyond the safety of your respective castes/communities at the cost of my nation? In light of this, do the Home and Defence ministries actually function, Dr. Singh?
  • What are you doing with a person like Mr. Shivraj Patil who is long past his shelf life and rightly deserves to be fossilized? Is he still hiding under his desk post the latest blast in…which is that city again? Actually, his record should be preserved on the lines of the Holocaust Museum, of how a non-Home Minister should be.
  • Do you and your bunch of buffoons at least recall iotas of your oath? I know it’s rather difficult on you to abide by everything therein but at the least, you haven’t been able to ensure that every citizen of my country can walk the roads in peace. I’m addressing this to you specifically because I’m certain that more than half of the idiots in your cabinet can’t even comprehend the oath.
  • What did you do when your government came to power? You spoke about everything except defence and security. At no point did you talk about ensuring basic security to Indian citizens. Perhaps the laboratory preparations were fast underway behind the scenes. Four years later I’m not sure I can return home from work or shopping without being bombed to death.
  • Can you honestly answer these questions? They’re not difficult and my nation knows the answers. It is rather sad that years of accomplished education has not bred an ounce of character in you. Your citizens are not flies to be swatted away at will.

Lastly Dr.Singh, India is now in a state of a mini-war. If this is the kind of “response” to every single act of terror, I shudder to think of the fate of my country in an actual state of war declared by an enemy nation.

Because your concern these days is more about making the numbers in the Lok Sabha and sacrificing national interest repeatedly, it is time for my country’s citizens to take back your government.
