I had heard a story that whenever a child is crying for some hurt or is recalcitrant, and you want him to forget it, give him a tight crinkle in his/her ears and he will forget the original cause of his concern and will begin crying with more ferocity on the latest infliction. Indian political scenario is somewhat similar to the aforesaid scene where the politicians are crinkling or trying to crinkle the memory of the general public to let them forget the bigger concern India faces today, by issueing nonsensical statements, and the squabbling thereafter. This act may be treated as a carefully crafted plan to deflect the attention from the main concern and mood of the nation.
While the latest militant attack in highly volatile Jammu & Kashmir needs protest of the government, its policies and its inaptness-- in handling the issue-- to the highest degree, the politicians are busy squabbling on petty issues to prove holier-than-thou on the ordinance, RTI and other issues of miniscule values. When the morale of the forces is down and are sullen by the double-speak and double-standard of Pakistan, politicians are busy bullying each other on issues of far inferior importance than the attack.
Inflation, loot, graft, cleansing of the electoral system and plethora of more such issues are no doubt all important, but when the national security is concerned, it should take center-stage among all the issues. Politicians, cutting across party lines should come together in denouncing the Pakistan's inability in curbing the militancy and this being propagated from its soil, and suggest newer techniques of handling the neighbours.
There is still time left for the festivities these politicians are eager to celebrate, but on the stage of the democracy we are, and will, aptly see and analyse your manoeuvrings. Don't make fool of us, we can see your sham seriousness, opportunism and your thirstiness for the power. Show more generosity on India's security concern.
As, the whole world more or less is now aware of the products with 'Made in India' tag and their durability and authenticity, Indian politicians--barring few--are busy testifying to the world that they are not different from these products, as the National security--their core business, of which they are expected to give service with utmost attention--has the least importance to them--far far less from the fear of the coming under the lap of RTI, or cleansing of the electoral system.
