A child asks his father,” Papa, what is this NCTC?”
The father replied,” Son, it is ‘National Counter Terrorism Centre’, which shall be a central agency to prevent terrorist activities across the India. It is like a Zamindar being responsible for the safety of all houses in the village.”
The child said,” Papa, that is fine. Then why so many states are opposing it?”
The father replied,” My son, the policy prepared by Chidambaram for NCTC gives powers to this Zamindar to enter all the houses without permission, interfere in their personal affairs and even criticize, advise and punish them on the way they lived.”
The child said,” That is so wrong. But why is Chidambaram doing so?”
The father replied,” My son, it is only two more years for the 2014 elections. The UPA ministers are trying hard to affirm their seat in the next cabinet, should Congress come back to power.”
The child asked,” Hmmm… but Papa, What are his big achievements as home minister?”
The father replied,” Well son, following are some of his special achievements…
He has dispersed a peaceful gathering of people in Ramlila maidan after midnight using police force, killing one and injuring many.
He has arrested a 74 year old man from his residence before he committed any crime. And he substantiated his actions by some strange legal clauses in parliament.
He has given the list of 50 ‘Most Wanted’ terrorists to Pakistan, out of which two were found in India.
He said that Mullaperiyar dam row had nothing to do with the safety of people, it was an election stunt.
He had full information on a real time basis, how Raja was looting India, yet chose to keep quite. Maybe, he also got his share, since he also has an account in Swiss bank.
He once mentioned that the crime rate is high in Delhi because of migrants from UP and Bihar.
He secretly planted 64 microphones in Pranab Mukharjee’s cabin to hear every conversation happening there.”
The child looked concerned. “But Papa, these are all actions which suggest that he has the least concern for the public… and most of his statements and actions seem to be biased against the people…why has the government retained him as the home minister?
The father searched for an answer and said,” Yes my son. These very qualities qualified him to be the perfect Home minister.”
The child looked confused and asked, “How come?”
The father said,” My son, this government is a unique one. In this, people don’t do what they are supposed to do.
The Prime minister does not act.
The Law minister defies and challenges the Election Commission.
The Telecom minister repeatedly misleads the nation on 2G issue.
The Chief Vigilance Commissioner had corruption cases against him.
The Defense minister fights with Army General over his age.
The agricultural minister says that he is not an astrologer to predict or control the food prices.
The UPA chairman does not share with the nation what is ailing her.
The Yuvaraj is going berserk by tearing papers in UP with each phase of election.
In such a scenario, it is obvious that he is the best fit as a Home minister.”
The child was disillusioned.
The world’s largest democracy has these kinds of ministers ruling 1.2 Billion people. Surely, the country deserves better governance…
Jaago India Jaago.
