It is unacceptable, be it Rahul Gandhi or Narendra Modi at
the helms of managing their party affairs, in this case the so-called youth
politicians of the Indian National Congress who barged in a Mumbai restaurant,
threatened the owners on an innocuous looking bill that simply was merely a
tool to vent the anti-government anger in a democratic way.
Rahul Gandhi who claims that the Congress is Mahatma
Gandhi’s party and party members should mind on what they speak and do has this
training for his youth wing members?
What should we expect from such intolerant youth
politicians when they would be given responsibilities to govern us in the
future?
Won’t we be inheriting increasing number rowdy elements,
the political goons, ready to crush every democratic voice of political
dissent, if such elements are sheltered, trained and promoted by the main
ruling party of India?
And ironically, such political goons are in almost every
political outfit, and more ironically, they are being harboured as our future
leaders.
We must protest them. I need to protest. You need to
protest. Every one needs to protest whosoever cares for the democratic health
of this country.
Yes, it is true there are other pressing problems in the country
but protesting such brazen steps of politicians is telling them that they need
to change their mindset. The condition has become so chronic that we need to
raise voice on every such occasion.
It is an increasingly feudal mindset of the politicians
that is responsible for almost of the problems in the country – from price rise
to corruption to law and order – because enveloped in luxuries of living a
parasitic life, they fail to see how tough it has become for a common man to
survive in the world’s largest democracy, a democracy that is a constitutional
Republic and claims to be a socialist state in the Preamble of its Constitution.
I am posting the restaurant bill here as symbol of my
protest on the shameless bravado of the Congress politicians and request others
to do so.
In place of justifying this silly act on TV news channels
and on social media platforms, why the politicians can’t simply (and gracefully)
accept the fault, something that Mahatma Gandhi’s teachings advise.
Isn't that so Mr. Rahul Gandhi?
