Politicizing the politics...

“Politics is a dirty game” and “Politics ruins the character”, you don’t need anything except these two aphorisms to expound the enormity of the cupidity of power in India. Today Indian politics has plummeted to such a nadir that if you analyze the situation, you would get inflicted with politico phobia. Today’s India politics is clad in holistic cover of scams, greed of power and apathy to the problems being endured by the common people or what they call “Mango Man” of India.

Henry Adams once quoted that “Power is poison” and Indian politician have taken that so much gravely that they have determined to become the great Lord NeelKanth and just want to swallow this poison and are ready to get this truculent and tasty poison so much that when they got no issue, they politicized to entails prisoners in their politics.

Now when our politicians were left with nothing to speak about they started politicizing the prisoners. Today the whole media is flooded with a deluge of debates on the prisoners and a plethora of comments being given by different ministers, politicians etc.
Recently Supreme Court spared the killers of Rajiv Gandhi from gallows. With this the three killers of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi have got their execution order commuted. A bench headed by Chief Justice P Sathasivam rejected the Centre's submission that there was no unreasonable delay in deciding their mercy plea and the condemned prisoners did not go through agonizing experience as they were enjoying life behind the bars. Supreme Court took this action as the mercy petition of the convicts was pending in the office of President of India and the Central Government also didn’t took any decision to expedite the process and remained totally unfazed by such a crucial issue and due to such dilatory attitude of the government Supreme Court decided to commute the life sentence of the convicts.

But after this judgment of Supreme Court, the “War of Words” commenced. The first comments came from Jammu & Kashmir where Mehbooba Mufti rebuked the government for the execution of Afzal Guru saying that by not executing the killers of Rajiv Gandhi and sending Afzal Guru to the execution, the government has alienated the region of Jammu & Kashmir.
After that the Indian National Congress (INC) party which never thought about the petition of mercy of the assassinators in the 11 years came in opposition of the judgment of the honorable Supreme Court of India.
And the very next day, J Jayalalithaa, Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, asks for termination of all of their punishment and took the plea to the governor of the state just to garner votes from Tamil people and Karunanidhi, former CM of Tamil Nadu also propped the idea of termination of the punishment of the killers of Rajiv Gandhi.

But one thing that we can very well imagine is the cruelty in Indian politics. Mehbooba Mufti on this matter said that J&K has been alienated. What’s she saying? She demanded for the termination of the imprisonment of a person who had colluded with anti-India force and had planned the attacks on the temple of Democracy of India, the Indian Parliament. This is a great effort to divide the nation. How can people do politics on terrorists? Terrorism sees no religion, no place and no region but still when these so called dirty leaders got nothing to say they started saying about the prisoners.

The other thing is the attempt by the CM of Tamil Nadu and the former CM of the concerned state is also a reprehensible one. She is asking the nation to set free those prisoners who killed the former Prime Minister of India. If such thing is done, then definitely the soul of all the great men of India would hurt. How can people plunge to such low just to woo people to vote for them? Is not it deplorable? Such condition of Indian politics is truly conducive to such state of India in which the progress has become stagnant. Today people have started loathing politics just because of such people who try to politicize all such thing. Politicians even don’t leave away wars. Some say that India’s win over Pakistan in 1971 was more courageous than that of Kargil while some say that the Kargil is more to be proud of. Youths of the nation hate politics due to such things. When the killers of Prime Minister can be demanded to set free, then imagine what’s happening with the Common Man today. The condition of Common Man today is completely execrable.

If we go on politicizing such things then that day is not far when everything would be seen in terms of gain and politics.


Today we need to change our approach or the time will change us all.
