More blots on the country...

Three news items today have compelled me to write this post:

• The Mangalore pub attack by Sri Ram Sene
• The Nashik school attack by MNS
• Sanjay Raut's bail
  

I was flabbergasted with the scenes of Sri Ram Sene activists felling blows on women and throwing them around. Yes, one guy actually flung a woman a few feet away. I now know what it feels when one's blood boils. Each of these incidents are utterly deplorable and are a blot on democracy. These parties seem to have forgotten that their primary duty is towards the masses and not use them as puppets in order to gain political mileage. It is a sad state of affairs that politicos (I am deliberately not calling them leaders) seem to enjoy every bit of publicity they get, even if it is negative.

Raj Thackeray is an apt example of one who gloats in this brand of publicity!

Whether in jail or on bail, we know Raj, your antics will never cease. Your public image just nosedived in the quicksand you already were in, when your folks beat up students, teachers and parents because they celebrated Republic day by singing Bhojpuri songs. How dare they? Do they not know that 15th August and 26th January are mere public holidays and not dates that celebrate India's independence and her sovereignty? You have shown the world how the MNS man (I don't mean mankind here, but the male species only) is an animal, not social but savage. It is absolutely despicable that you choose to hide your face and not come out in the public and condemn these acts. Oh, sorry I forgot! You are the mastermind behind this, so how can you venture out now! Had this happened to Maharashtrians anywhere else in the world, you would have raised a hue and cry and made it seem like the whole of India and the Maharashtrian culture were under threat by religious and political outfits. Just in case you did not realise, Nashik is in Maharastra, with a large Marathi speaking population. Aathvan aali tumhala?

We know you will soon show us your face during your inflammatory speeches just before the polls. Just so you know, Mumbai, Maharashtra and India has a larger educated mass than when your uncle brandished his brand of politics. He may have succeeded to a certain extent and achieved his ulterior motives, but it is foolish that you thought that the same strategy can be adopted to gain a political stronghold in Mumbai and Maharashtra.

Now with the nephew making headlines, is the uncle going to sit back and watch? Obviously not! His party MP, Sanjay Raut ensured Balasaheb and his party weren't left out of the game. Even so, I was shocked to hear Sanjay Raut bellow, "Mumbai is ruled by Shiv Sena and our orders HAVE TO BE OBEYED." My immediate reaction was, '#*@*#*@&#, tere baap ka raaj hai kya?' He adds that their agitation will continue in the same vein. Thanks Mr Raut, for the forewarning. We will continue to show you our heinie's so that you can whip us for your merriment. How the hell do such swines get bail? How come non-baillable warrants are never issued against politicians? And if is issued, these buggers somehow get out within a day or two.

I urge readers of this post and news channels like NDTV, CNN-IBN, Star News and the other mighty media persons to cover these events and enlighten masses with the same intensity that they possessed while covering the Mumbai attacks. This is yet another attack on our country - by these internal terrorists who masquerade as politicos. I hope the media uses its reach to highlight the atrocities of these fascist groups. Aaj Tak and India TV have spoken a lot to terrorists and made news items of aliens abducting cows. I think it is time to show some of the true power that the fourth estate is known for.

Isn't it high time we ban such parties who are a bloody disgrace to the very values and ethos of a free country like ours? I am beginning to get tired of this tyranny and my threshold is fast approaching. I have restrained myself with the choice of words in this post, and I still can't seem to show my anger and disgust enough.

I strongly harbour thoughts of forming a politcal party, whose leaders will uphold the responsibilities of an ideal party - one that exists to serve the country and not use her like a prostitute!
