From
print media to electronic and social media, all are painted with JNU issues, an
obvious news of the month. In fact this has given a new job to the media people
to flash this news in a dramatic way for which they are well known. Debate on
"judicial killing" of Afzal Guru by the JNU students has triggered
the controversy. The Constitution of India has bestowed upon us with
fundamental rights. One of them is right to freedom, which includes freedom of
speech, expression (Article 19), we exercise this right more and misuse it even
more. Why people make such arguable
comments and they know that such comments will cause uproar in country. Perhaps
this is what democracy called (to express oneself in easiest way, simply called
as chutzpah!). Seemingly, they do this on purpose, few to express themselves
and few to show themselves in top headlines. And few make it to opportunistic
politics, they hit the iron when it is hot. Our so called renowned political
leaders unleash their intellects. This is how blame game starts, everyone plays
in defensive mode and no one take responsibility for anything. Any other issues
will be converted into political issue. Such types of incidents can often be seen when any election (like assembly polls) is nearby.
One of the most eligible bachelor of our
country and 'youth' icon, is well versed in opportunistic politics. Twice he
went to show his solidarity and empathy to students of University of Hyderabad and made no
delay in visiting JNU campus. Hopefully, he would have learnt something from
the incident which happen in a college of Bangalore.
Since past six months India has been a
place of happening events. Last month January, was superheated with the suicide
of a Phd scholar of University of Hyderabad. How this case was conflagrated?
Obviously, they again played the communal card, by invoking Dalit suppression
and flagging off Hindutva Agenda. On one hand they talk about equality and
egalitarian society and on other hand they discriminate society by pointing
them as Dalit. This is wild farcical. Even some people consider PM as a culprit
for such incidents so he should make an apology to the whole nation. And here,
logic and rationality took a back seat.
Dadri lynching on 28th Sep, 2015 shared the
most of the headlines of October month. This event was artistically given the
colour of communalism and a new mutant virus came to infect our tolerant
citizens who accused growing intolerance in country. They returned their awards
which were felicitated to them for their excellency in particular field by
GoI. Following this, some even had
planned to evacuate their own motherland.
It is worth to note that all these events took place right before the
Bihar assembly polls and after that all issues were shrouded afterwards. Again an example
of opportunistic politics.
All these cases are serving as varied
agendas to Parliament logjam and not allowing to pass important bills like GST.
Now the Budget Session is on target after successful disruption of Monsoon and
Winter Sessions. If any issue arises it will give invitation to opportunistic
politics, political war will start. Being a rhetoric will serve the purpose.
These political leaders don't solve any problem instead they twist and turn
them. With passing of time these issues will fade and new issues will come to
debate. The upshot of such opportunistic politics is just waste of time. No one
will judge you on the basis of your slogans, debates, speech, you will be rated
on the basis of what you have done for the society, development of this country.
We need critics of the government not defiant oppositions.
