The Anatomy of Bharat Bandh

The Anatomy of Bharat Bandh

Any successful bandh or protests require mass participation of common man, the Aam Aadmi. Example of successful bandhs & protests in India are the hartaals during freedom movement, protests during Nirbhaya case & Anna movement on Lokpal bill where people participated enmass. In the case of present bandh or protest today on demonetisation, there is hardly any participation by common man. It is a call given politicians, a fractured opposition.  The cause they say is the harassment of common man due to long ques in banks & impact on livelihood of poor. They are talikng of the problems to public but have no answer to the solution. People are generally happy with the move. The dark elements supporting black money economy & terror funding are badly affected What interest opposition has in saving them? Are they the part of problem? It appears to be so. And that's why the today's protest is complete failure.

How many farmers committed suicides in this country? How many soldiers & citizens have been killed in terror attacks? For such national  tragedies, no protest & bandhs were there by these so called sympathisers of common man. ! So dear politicians, don't befool the common man. it's your duplicity! You are fighting for your part of loot & politics, not for common man atleast.

Who funds the political parties…. It is the general public only

Who funds the political parties…. It is general public only

In a democracy, the political parties and the people, both are the stakeholders. Through election process, the winning candidates of the political parties form the government. It does not mean that the government is formed only by the majority party but the remaining parties, the so called oppositions too are the part of the government, otherwise, if they don’t have any role in government, they should sit outside the parliament and state assemblies and should not claim any salary and perks. Since the political parties and the people are the stakeholders, the government (meaning thereby all the political parties collectively) must ensure that it’s actions are always in the interest of general public and total transparency is maintained in their funding and expenses.

Alas, this is not the case!

The political parties need money to perform their various activities like election campaigning, advertising and publicity, organizing rallies, meetings, travels, salaries  and running the party show like a corporate house. It has also said that the political parties also resort to distribution of freebies and sometimes even hard cash illegally to influence the voters in it’s favour. From where the money comes to the political parties for all these expenses? Ultimately, the real source of the money can be traced to the pockets of general public only. The donations from corporate houses are nothing but money earned from the public by doing business. The donations by the party members and general public are also ultimately national wealth earned from the public only. The corporate donations also give rise to crony capitalism influencing government policies in its favour and earning profits, again from public only.

It is also said that the major source of political funding is black money and no political parties is left untouched by it. The trail of black money can also be traced back to the people’s legitimate money only. As per various reports, it is said that more than 80% of funding of major political parties comes from unknown sources. The present law permits political parties to collect small contribution up to an Rs 20,000 from anyone without asking for the particulars of the donor. If one wants to donate Rupees one lac to a political party, he/she can easily donate it by splitting the amount in five Rs. 20,000/- sums and donate as an unknown person. The party need not maintain any details of the donor. (However, ironically in recent demonetization drive, people were asked to record their identity proof to exchange their own old two thousand Rupees with new notes).

Why the governments, the present as well as pervious ones and all the political parties collectively adopt double standards? They form one set of laws for general public and another set of law for political parties. The present demonetization drive of government banning Rs. 500/- and Rs. 1000/- notes to eradicate the black money has been generally welcomed by the public in spite of hardship of standing in ques and even with some unfortunate deaths. In spite of this, the opposition parties are also playing politics and opposing the government’s move of demonetization but are silent on their own funding through black economy. Until and unless these loopholes in political funding are not plugged, no drive will be successful in eliminating the black money economy totally. Therefore, the present government must take at least the following action if they are really sincere and interested in eliminating black money from the Indian economic system;

1.     Implement laws to ensure 100% transparency in political funding and expenses including submission of timely audited accounts to Election Commission.

The sources of all small or big contributions, even if it is rupees one has to be declared.  

2.     People are encouraged for digital transactions whereas political parties will gladly accept upto Rs. 20,000/- in cash from an unknown source. This is to be stopped.

·       Implement laws to ban any cash transaction donations as well as expenditures and ensure it through digital transactions only.

·       Details of all donations (even if it is one Rupee) and expenses are to be maintained online on their party websites.

3.     Implement laws to bring all political parties under RTI.

Need to Widen Tax Net in India

The salaried class who pay income tax at source always look towards government for concessions on tax rates in every budget year after year. While they pay income tax at source,  many other class of citizens like traders, small businessman, professionals like doctors and lawyers find ways to evade tax though their actual income may be well above taxable limits. Financial analysts are also repeating time and again  that the government should focus on increasing the tax net instead of announcing fresh income tax measures, endless surcharge and cess. The senior citizens who are not covered with any pension  scheme and whose only source of income is interest earnings from their life time savings are badly hit in the recent times due to falling interest rates.

It is estimated that only about 3 per cent of over 1.25 billion people in the country are paying income tax. The number of people who declare annual income of over Rs 1 crore is abysmally low at just around 50,000 in the country which is an insignificant figure of just 0.004 per cent. Looking at the prosperity of the people with few economic health indicators like palatial houses, numbers of cars & SUVs they possess, frequent air travels within & outside the country will definitely establish that many of them may be tax evaders.

The government's recent move to demonetise Rs 500 & Rs 1000 notes to weed out black money and efforts to compel people to use of e-transactions, plastic money, mobile wallets and opening of bank accounts by more & more people should yield surprIsing result in few years in widening the tax net.  The government should also put a limit on cash transactions to avoid creation of black money. With the widening of tax net & greaters compliance due to technological benefits, it is hoped that the government will find it easier to reduce tax rates in near future, may be in the forthcoming general budget.

Arvind Kejriwal, the CM of Delhi has raised a very logical point that he has not seen any black money hoarders outside the bank ques to exchange money and only common man is suffering standing in que.

Agreed! Arvind Kejriwal is absolutely right. But the people of this country have also not seen Arvind Kejriwal standing in the que for money exchange. Similarly, non of the other opposition leaders who are shouting in parliament & outside agaist demonetisation taking a shield of common man are seen standing in ques for exchange of money, except Rahul Gandhi who got exchanged his old Rs 4000 notes once. The people of this country are greatly  puzzled how these leaders are managing their lives without money exchange! Are they getting new notes from back channels or, are they surviving on thin air without new notes? It would be a great help to the country man if they can suggest how to survive on thin air without money? Or, do they fall in the logical category of black money hoarders as suggested by Arvind Kejriwal who do not stand in que? Does Arvind Kejriwal, himself fall in the black money hoarders category?

About Rahul Gandhi, it should be very paiful for the citizens of this country that he is surviving  on Rs 4000 only till now like a beggar and has not returned back for further money exchange or withdrawal. Under which category he falls, he only knows!

The other derivation can be that some other persons or agencies are footing the bills for day to day expenses of these politicians.

Few Questions to Dr. Manmohan Singh, the Former Prime Minister of India

Few Questions to Dr. Manmohan Singh, the Former Prime Minister of India

The Congress men are rejoicing over the statement, the Former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh made yesterday in Parliament slamming the demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes by Modi government and terming it as a " monumental mismanagement " that might dent GDP by 2%. He has also said that he was convinced that demonetisation had led to "organised loot and legalised plunder"

Every coin has two side. For a coin to realise it's full value, both the sides are essential and important; one cannot ignore one for the other. Now let us come to the personality of Dr Manmohan Singh. Nobody can be more experienced and personally draw more respect for his integrity & honesty other than Dr. Manmohan Singh, the former Prime Minister of India, former Finance Minister, former Chief Economic Adviser, former Finance Secretary, former Dy. Chairman of Planning Commission & former RBI Governer. Time will only tell where the observations of this great personality will stand with the passage of time and what further actions the present government follows or does not follow to weed out corruption & stop genetation of another cycle of black money. However, although, I am not an economist, I am simply applying common sense and feel that Dr Manmohan Singh's statement raises more questions than answers. The questions look like are;

1 (a). How much loss the GDP has suffered during 2004 to 2014 during the two terms he had presided over as Prime Minister of India due to hoards of "Monumental Scams", the country has witnessed?

1 (b). How much NPAs were created in Indian banks during the UPA-1 and UPA-2 regimes and how much loss the GDP has suffered due to these NPAs?

2. Is the loss to the nation due to points1 (a & b) above not an "organised loot and legalised plunder"?

3. How much loss the GDP has suffered due to a huge size of black money economy flourishing in Independent India since 1947?

4. What actions Dr. Manmohan Singh's government took during it's ten year tenure to;

 (i) weed out the black money economy and,

(ii) recover NPAs of Banks?

Without asking further widely talked questions as to where the government's real power was centred during Dr. Singh's terms as Prime Minister and actions taken & not taken by his government under compulsions of coalition dharma, every Indians has right to ask atleast the above mentioned questions.

A Letter to the Common Men by a Common Man...

A Letter to the Common Men by a Common Man...

Dear Common Men,

The noisy, chaotic & disgraceful scenarios enacted daily in New Delhi, inside the parliament and outside on streets by the opposition parties singularly united over the demonetisation drive of the government show their desperation to support the evil of black money economy, the very foundation of their own existence too (more than 80% of their funding is from uknown sources and they are reluctance to come under RTI).  While with few exceptions, the country is gradually returning to normalcy with the ques outside banks getting shorter & people switching to digital transactions, the cry of opposition leaders is getting more louder & disruptive. Yesterday, around 200 MPs had gathered and stood in ques at Delhi's Jantar Mantar to protest against the government's decision of demonetisation. They were seen arrogantly enjoying like a picnic, laughing, shouting, displaying slogans for common man without any real pain on their faces. It is also reported that on 28th Nov. 2016, they have given a call for Bharat Bandh, a call by the CM of West Bengal on the same issue, in an effort to cloud the nation with the Bengal's bandh culture which ruined the state for long. She may have her own multiple interests in the protests like;  to support her vote bank, the illegal entrants from Bagladesh to WB who do not have bank accounts, to save all black money hoarders in an alliance with her party, to save receipts of fake Indian currencies for political activities through Bangladesh boarder  etc. etc. Huge deposits totalling to around Rs. 21000 crores is reported in Jan Dhan Yojna in West Bengal alone, the maximum, shows how the channels operate there. These political tamashas are being played in the name of your hardship, the common men's hardship though it is becoming more and more evident that the real purpose behind is to save their own hard hit amassed black money and it's direct & indirect conduits within and outside the country. A vulgar video which became viral on social media few days back gives a little glimpse of the people affectef by demonetisation drive. These leaders have never displayed such a solidarity among them in past when the country witnessed many heinous crimes & unfortunate incidents against common man, like; Nirbhaya gang rape, killing of innocent people by terrorists, beheading and mutilation of Indian soldiers at the front, pathetic health facilities in the country, people dieing on the road without treatment, people carrying dead bodies on their shoulders  & bicycles in absence of ambulances,  poor infrastructure, train accidents, terrorist attacks, murders, rapes, poor education facilities where even teachers fail in basic tests and importantly on the life threatening  cancerous evil of black money and hoards of monumental scams involving leaders from all parties. Their apathy towards these evils establishes a direct & close link of these politicians with ill gotten black money.  It establishes that their present cry is only & only for their own pain, forget the cause of common men.

The politicians and common men of this country have only  one relation; that is of a political contesting candidate & voter. The ongoing tamasha is only for the vote & self survival. The common men have been standing in ques for the last 70 years to avail ration cards, driving licence, to get treatment in hospitals, railway tickets, airports,  in temples to have darshan and even for casting votes and these politicians shamelessly enjoy VIP access to all facilities bypassing the common men. Their hearts do not bleed for common men while getting such VIP treatments which they blatantly claim as their birth right. They also enjoy subsidised food in parliament, free telephone facilities, free electricity, free travel and many more direct & indirect  subsidised facilities and even get life pension after serving a term. Their hearts do not melt for common men on the street while enjoying these facilities and subsidies. Is it not their duplicacy and sheer  insensitivity to the common men?

The demonetisation step while turning the mammoth black money kept in hard cash into waste papers has also cut the arms of Pakistan which was pumping large volumes of fake Indian currency into India to fund terror & anti national activities. India has been paying a heavy price because of this evil designs of Pakistan and loosing lives of large numbers of our brave soldiers & citizens in terror attacks. After the demonetisation, even the stone pelting activities in Kashmir have come to a halt. This explains more that the demonetisation was essential for the safety & security of the nation. The common men is generally happy with the government's move of demonetisation even after facing hardships in ques but the opposition is bent upon to encash the common men's hardship purely out of their political need and vested interests. The opposition had also failed in it's duty to provide any constructive suggestion and support to ease the hardship of common men due to demonetisation till now.

No political party has admitted and will admit that they thrive on black money economy but the incidences of vulgar display of their wealth on few occasions like marriages, huge  rallies, astronomical election expenses, distribution of freebies & use of money to buy votes, huge sums of money caught by police during election time etc. established otherwise.

India is very tolerant country. You, the common man are very tolerant, busy in your daily survival routines and not much interested in getting involved in national issues except casting your vote once in five years. Most of the intelligentsia in the country are also too busy in their self pursuit of comfort, partisan politics, writing speeches & articles from their cosy air conditioned  drawing rooms and delivering paid lectures. But, your silence, the silence and tolerance of the common man is ruining you and therefore, these barriers of silence need to be broken. You  need to become your own voice. Don't wait for an incarnation to arrive and save you. You, the common man needs to rise from the slumber and neutralise the destructive designs of the politicians who take your false shield to cover up their sins. Why not the common man assemble in mass at Jantar Mantar and show their solidarity with the government' s decision on demonetisation? Why there is not a candle march in every city & towns? Don't wait and allow these politicians to ruin the future of your children, future of your country and your own well being. The black money cleansing operation of the government need your support. As Swami Vivekananda said "Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached". You stand up, it's your time and your time has come now to thwart the evil designs of these leaders.

Yours,
A common man

भारत सरकार की नोट बंदी......विपक्ष की खोखली मानव संवेदना और घड़ियाली आंसू....

भारत सरकार की नोट बंदी......विपक्ष की खोखली मानव संवेदना और घड़ियाली आंसू....

लगभग सारे विपक्ष के दिग्गज नेता गला फाड़ फाड़कर और  चिल्ला चिल्ला कर आम आदमी के लिए अपनी संवेदना दिखा रहे है। कुछ लोगों की नोट बदलने की कतार में मौत हुई है। यह बड़े दुख की बात है। नोट बदलने की प्रक्रिया को सरल और युद्ध स्तर पर कार्यरत किया जाना चाहिए था। प्रबंधन को बेहतर बनाया जा सकता था। पर नोट बंदी राष्ट्र पर लगे काले धन रुपी कर्क रोग (cancer)  पर कई उपचारों में से एक बहुत ही कारगर औषधि और एक संकेत भी है, इसमें संदेह नही। इस बात पर प्रत्यक्ष या अप्रत्यक्ष रुप से शुरु में लगभग सभी राजनीतिक दलों ने सहमति दिखाई थी। कोई चारा भी नही था । यदि विरोध दिखाते तो यह प्रकट हो जाता कि झ्नके पास काला धन है। बाद में लम्बी लम्बी कतारों और कुछ दुखद मृत्युओं की आड़ मिल जाने से (शायद इसी का इन्तजार भी था) काले धन के उपर नोट बंदी रुपी औषधि को इन्होंने आम आदमी विरोधी करार दिया है। फलस्वरूप लगभग सारा विपक्ष मौसेरे भाइयों की तरह इकट्ठा हो गया है। आम लोगों के लिए इनके घड़ियाले आंसू रोके नही रुक रहे है। कोई सरकार के कदम को आपातकाल बता रहा है तो कोई दंगो की बात कर रहा है। शायद यही लोग दंगे करवा सकने के लिए समर्थ भी है। कुछ दल तो अपना काला धन बचाने के लिए नोट बंदी के निर्णय को वापस लेने की मांग कर रहे है। लोक सभा और राज्य सभा का कार्य किसी न किसी बहाने से ठप्प करवा दिया है। इनके  शब्दों के मायाजाल के प्रदर्शन से ऐसा लग रहा है देश की सारी जनता से इनका खून का रिश्ता है। यदि यह सच्चाई होती तो आज सारा आम आदमी  और देश विपक्ष के साथ खड़ा हुआ होता। लेकिन सच्चाई और ही है। असल में तो गहरा आघात और जोर का धक्का धीरे से  सभी दलों पर पड़ा है। कई वर्षों की इन लोगों की व्यक्तिगत और अपने राजीतिक पक्षों का काला धन कबाड़ में बदल गया है। इसे न तो खाते बनता है और न उगलते बनता है। आश्चर्य की बात तो ये है कि इन राजनेताओं का ऐसा घनिष्ठ संबंध जनता के साथ होता तो जनता को ये दिन देखना नही पड़ा होता।  जनता का राजनीतिक दलों ने अपनी राजीति की दुकान चलाने के लिए हमेशा उपयोग किया है। उनका नाता आम आदमी से एक मत (vote) के अलावा कुछ नही है। इस नाते को भुनाने के लिए राजनीतिक दल जाति, धर्म, गरीबी, भूख, हत्या,आत्महत्या, बलात्कार, मुफ्तखोरी का प्रोत्साहन, लालच, वोट की खरीद फरोक्त, जाल, साज, झूठ और नाना प्रकार के आडम्बर और यहाँ तक की सेना की शहादत और राष्ट्र विरोधी कृत्यों का भी प्रयोग करने से नही चुकते। आज तो ये लगता है कि ये चिल्लाने वाले सभी नेता और दल काले धन रखने वालों के असल में प्रवक्ता बन गए है। लगता है ये लोग आम आदमी और राष्द्रहीत की जगह काले धन कुबेरों के राजनेता बन गए है।

उपरोक्त विषंगतियाँ भारत जैसे प्रजातन्त्र मे सर्व विदित है। भारत का नागरिक आज काफी प्रबुद्ध हो गया है। इसीलिए कहते है कि ये तो पबिलक है, ये सब जानती है।

तब भी एक बार मान लेते है कि इन राजनेताओं को सचमुच आम आदमी की बहुत चिन्ता है।सचमुच ये लोग सत्ता और बेसुमार काले घन के लालची नही है। सचमुच ये लोग गरीब और आम आदमी के मांई - बाप है और इन्हें नोट बदलने के लिए कतार में खड़े देखकर गहन रुप से पीड़ा का अनुभव कर रहे है। लेकिन इस बात को मानने के बाद और भी गम्भीर पीड़ा ये हो रही है कि इन घड़ियाली आंसू बहाने वाले नेताओं में से एक भी नेता और दलों को अपनी गाढ़ी सफेद या काली कमाई से एक रुपया भी  नोट बदलने के लिए कतारों में खड़े आम आदमी में बांटते नही देखा।  रुपया बांटना तो दूर पानी पिलाने तक के लिए सामने नही आए और न तो कोई इन्तजाम किया। राहुल गांधी अपनी सुरक्षा फौज के साथ करोड़ों रुपए की गाड़ी में नोट बदलवाने जरुर आए लेकिन अपने चार हजार रुपयों में से एक पैसा भी कतार में खड़े व्यक्ति या किसी जरूरतमंद आदमी को नही दिया। केजरीवाल जो जनता का एक एक करोड़ रुपए किसी आत्महत्या पर राजनीति भूनाने के लिए ऐसे ही  दे देते थे, उन्होंने एक रुपया भी कतार में खड़े व्यक्ति को या कतार में खड़े व्यक्ति की अकस्मात मौत पर उसके रिश्तेदारों को नही दिया । ममता, माया, लालू, शरद, सिताराम, गुलाम नबी, सिंधिया कोई भी कतार में खड़े आम आदमी को एक पैसा या पानी देते नही दिखे।हां, इन्ही आदमी को ढाल बनाकर अपनी राजनीतिक रोटियाँ सेंकना अपना स्वघोषित जन्म सिद्ध अधिकार और कर्तव्य बताते नही थकते। ये लोग या इनके प्रवक्ता पार्लियामेंट या टी. वी. पर आम आदमी के लिए खूब शोर मचाते है। यह इनके दोगले पन का सूचक है। इनके दांत हाथी के दांत जैसे खाने के और दिखाने के अलग अलग होते है।

ये तो पब्लिक है सब जानती है! इसलिए हे आम आदमी, तुम इन स्वार्थी राजनेताओं की झूठी मानव संवेदना, शब्दों के खोखले मायाजाल और धाड़ियाली आंसुओं पर कदापि मत जाओ। अपने राष्ट्रहित को पहिचानों।

जय हिन्द...

विमुद्रीकरण और उसके बाद....

आम आदमी के लिए नेताओं को इतना परेशान होते कभी नही देखा था । ऐसा लगता है उनकी रातों की नींद उड़ गई हो, सो नही पा रहे है। कोई दंगे करवाने की बात करता है, कोई बगावत की। कोई आर्थिक आपातकाल कहता है, कोई राष्ट्रपति से गुहार लगाने पहुंच जाता है। कोई बड़ी बड़ी गाड़ियो अपनी सुरक्षा फौज के साथ आकर पुराने नोट बदलने आ जाता है या एटीम में पहुंच जाता है। कोई विमुद्रीकरण् को वापस लेने की माँग करता है। कोई कहता डरा डरा कहता है कहता है कि काम तो सही हुआ है लेकिन तरीका और समय गलत है। आज तो हद हो गई, एक कांग्रेस नेता ने बैंक की लाइन में दुर्भाग्यवश मौतों की पाकिस्तानी आतंकवाद से उरी में सैनिकों की शहादत से तुलना कर दी है।

ये सभी कहते  नही थकते है कि ये सब दुध के धुले है। सारे राजा हरिश्चन्द्र से कम इमानदार नही है। लेकिन सच्चाई यह है कि इन राजनेताओं की जमीन काले धन पर टिकी हुई है। इनकी पार्टी का 80% से ज्यादा धन अज्ञात श्रोतों से आता है। ये सभी दल सूचना के अधिकार के कानून के अन्दर नही आना चाहते। चुनावों में मनमाना धन कहाँ से आता है? वोटों की खरीद फरोक्त कहाँ से होती है? इनका व्यक्तिगत काला धन कितना है इन्हें ही पता है? इनकी बेनामी संपति कितनी है? कितना सोना है? विदेशी बैंकों में कितना पैसा छुपाया हुआ है? नेता- बाबू के अपवित्र गठजोड़ तो सर्व विदीत ही है। आजादी के बाद से आज तक के कुतुबमिनार से भी बड़े घोटाले आम जनता से छिपे नही है, कोई चारा खा गया तो कोई कोयला। रक्षा खर्चों में कितना पैसा खाया गया कोई हिसाब नही है। उदाहरण अनगिनत है।

इनकी आम जनता के लिए स्वघोषित व्याकुलता देखते बनती है। यही व्याकुलता देखकर ही लगता है और सिद्ध भी होता है कि तीर सही निशाने पर लगा है। चोट भी सही जगह पर लगी है। आम आदमी तो प्रायः सरकार के कदम से प्रसन्न है। प्रधानमंत्री मोदी के तारीफ़ के पूल भी बांध रहा है। इतनी व्याकुलता इन नेताओं ने सच्चाई से आज तक की होती और सच्चाई से इनकी आर्थिक और सामाजिक स्थिति को बदलने के लिए की होती तो आज विमुद्रीकरण की जरुरत ही नही होती। भारत विकसित देश की श्रंखला में महत्वपूर्ण स्थान पर होता, इसमें दो राय नही। विमुद्रीकरण एक स्वच्छता अभियान है। इसमें कुछ परेशानी तो होगी। यह परेशानी सीमा पर देश के लिए सीने पर गोली खाने वाले सिपाही की परेशानी से कई गुना छोटी है और कुछ दिनों की है।

जय हिन्द।

India, Demonetisation 2016 and after

Majority of people all over the country, even after standing in long ques in banks & ATMs for hours are happy with the demonetisation step taken by government. Only their self styled, self declared and self certified well wishers and so called care takers, all opposition parties are taking shield of these very people to justify their opposition to the black money cleansing drive. The equation to understand their frustration is very simple and does not require very high common sense. More the noise they make, more the black money they have. Some even are saying that the government has imposed financial emergency. Kejriwal is asking for roll back. They are absolutely right! Yes, it is financial emergency on black money hoarders, tax evaders, fake currency racketeers and terrorist outfits. It is the war against crime they are involved against the nation.  It was required to cut their roots, may be partially and which had been done in a single blow, in a surgical style, may be till another cycle of black money creation starts. But, it is a bold step. People are ready to undergo inconvenience but the desh bhakt  & janta ke sevak, greedy politicians are not. Because, they are the most affected. Their roots of black money are cut, Their black money kept in hard cash atleast has  become wothless papers. Their benami properties and gold deposits are still untouched, which should be the next step by the government. Thats the reason one person in the company of one leader from UP was seen on a video viral on social network using "gandi gaalies" for the PM of the country. This is the level of the citizens of India! So, their abuse and opposition is due to the financial emergency imposed on them. For honest tax payers and honest citizens, it is not a financial emergency but with little or some  inconvenience, the filth of their nation is being cleansed for which they are happy. So, dear politicians, don't show your fake sympathy towards us. We are capable of taking care of ourselves. You deserve this financial emergency for the national loot and black money. In fact you deserve a permanent place in jail for looting the nation. So, be happy for now and who knows, jail may not be too far!

Black Money, the Dirty Money

Black Money, the Dirty Money.....

Few political parties like Congress has been taking shelters of poor & common man for long time. They popularised the slogans like "garbi hatao", "Congress ka haath, garibon ke saath" etc. for winning elections & ruling the country. Sixty years of Congress regime has, may be deliberately kept the people  poor, ignorant, illiterate, divided over caste, race, communal lines, dalits, non dalits etc. to exploit them as vote banks. Their regimes also witnessed many monumental scams involving loots of lacs & lacs of crores of public money & allowing creation of a parallel economy of dirty black money but hardly any politician got punished.

On the historic surgical strike by PM, Modi on withdrawal of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes from circulation to eradicate menace of dirty black money, tax evasion, corruption, fake currencies and terrorism is a bold one. This move is welcomed and lauded by general masses all over the country but unfortunately, Congress is again taking the shelter of poor & common man to criticise the move which is intriguing. How long you will shield yourselves in the name of poor? Why you have not taken such a bold steps in your long regimes to eradicate black money? In the process, are you not defending the black money hoarders, corrupt and enemies of the countries producing fake currencies and sponsoring terrorism?

Let us come to the other angle of the move. It is not a secret that more than 80% funding of all major political parties including Congress & BJP is from undiscosed sources. It means the sources of funding can be questionable too. Huge election expenditure is incurred by candidates in state and parliamentary elections and even in local body elections. Thousands of crores of rupees are caught many timed by police & other agencies before elections. This shows that the funding of political parties is also from questionable sources. Also, practically all political parties are hugely opposed to the idea of  coming under the ambit of RTI, the principal reason for which is obvious. In one stroke, PM, Modi has made the use of black money in elections redundant, atleast temporarily in the forthcoming state elections like Punjab & UP. This move will create many personal enemies of Modi, including from his own party. Modi has taken a heavy risk for himself but as a shrewd politician, he must have considered all the associated risks. He has still at half time and within next two and half years with the wiping out of black money from the system, the economy should move to a high growth trajectory. As a result, the bold move may also pay rich dividents to PM, Modi in 2019 parliamentary elections.

Many other political parties, though internally might be opposed to the move, take a brave front outside publically to welcome the move but with some ifs & buts, and use the same shiels of poor & common man as that of Congress. Some other parties like Trinamul, JDU etc. are vehemently opposing the move.

Will the move by government will stop the creation of black money in future? As it seems, may not. However, it will take time to generate another cycle of black money creation. The government is also going to issue Rs 2000 bills which will make it easier for black money hoarders to start another cycle of black money economy. The introduction of Rs 2000 notes is puzzling from this consideration. The government should have not done this and  simultaneously incentivised the use of plastic Money and electronic money transfers. Hope such incentives and tax concessions will be brought by the government in due course for non cash transactions.

We, the public specially those in remote areas and those without any access to banking facilities will definitely face some hardship for some time to come. However, this may be a small price we have to pay for eradicating the menace of black money & cause of national security. This pain is a temporary one which we should undergo for long term gains to the health of  nation. We need to remember the pain of a soldiers at the front  sacrificing his life for the safety & security of nation and people like us who sleep in peace because of them. Our pain will be negligible as compared to the pain of such  soldiers.

So, let us welcome the government's move wholeheartedly.

My India....Your India

My India.....Your India....

On the boarder and within Indian  territories, Pakistan has been engaging itself in promoting, nurturing and sponsoring terrorist attacks supported by it's army & ISI. LOC itself is on fire and our brave soldiers are giving befitting replies to Pak. Indian army and para military forces are also paying supreme sacrifice by soldiers martyred on the front every now and then. We salute to them.  Because of them we are able to sleep peacefully.  The surgical strike in POK by our army was one such, never before befitting reply. This has created great feeling of nationalism & pride within the Indian public and with the free hand given to army, Pakistan is bleeding & feeling the pinch of isolation in the international comminity. Modi government has implemented OROP which the Congress & other alliance parters did not do it for 40 years. There may be some anomalies as it always happen even in pay scale revisions in government sector and the same are being sorted out. The suicide by a retired soldier is unfortunate and matter of grief for everybody. We all need to pray for the peace of the soul of the departed soldier.

This hour has been greatly disappointing for us, the common people of this country as our politicians, specially the oppostion parties, lead by Congress, AAP and others have let down us. We have voted these politicians to sit in opposition and provide a constructive support for the welfare of the society and uplifting the country. We have never voted them to create nuisance on the road and electronic media. They are displaying highly disgusting behaviour at all places, creating tamashs like jokers to feed to their self survival instict.  They are not sparing human deaths also. They are not sparing common man's death also. They play caste politics. They play communal politics. They play farmer's politics. They play army men's politics. They are fighting even for anti national activists and terrorists shot down by Bhopal police. Whoes cause they are serving? Only vote bank cause and certainly not the Indian cause.  They are supporting and sympathise with people who want to break India in thousand pieces. Who want " Bharat ki barbadi'. My head is bent down in shame to see that these are the politicians  my country has produced.  What has happenef to the great Congress party, leave aside children political parties like AAP? Who is running it? Has it become bankrupt of ideas? These people are not realising the great damage they are causing to the idea of India.  Today, with their brazen acts,  they are not only diverting government & armed forces attention who are engaged in a war like situation on the boarder and weakening INDIA's united strength & power. Their dirty & cheap lust for power knowingly or unknowingly giving strength to Pakistan and damaging the cause of India. Are not their actions anti national? They will not admit it and instantly claim that they are doing it for the country and the people of the country, the people like us.

So, what is the agenda of all these political parties who are  unstoppably engaged in creating chaos and misunderstanding mong the minds of people? It does'nt need a great intellect to find it. The agenda is simply to suspend normalcy in the country and create roadblocks in the path of Modi government to stop it from pursuing it's development agenda. It may also be possible that some of these parties might be getting external support and finances also, who knows, to de-establise India and stop it from acquiring a dominant position in the international arena. The equation is simple.  Modi government's failure today and during next two & half year is the net gain of the opposition combine in 2019 parliamentary elections.

 And so what is course of action left for us, for we, the people of this country? I believe that the present Indian era is dominated by younger population, which is in a hurry to get rid of past letharging governance and looking for fast developments, millions & millions of jobs, world class infrastructure, world class health facilities, quality education and qualiry services. We have to depend on them to lead us from the darkers shades of older & corrupt political culture to effective, honest and corporate like result oriented political & governance culture. We, with them, the younger generation must use our wisdom to see through the tricks & tamashas of today's politicians and punish them harder in 2019 parliamentary  and forthcoming state elections. I am not a bhakt of any political party but believe in the theory of "Nation First". Also, the security & integrity of the country is of paramount importance for all of us  which need to be given the highest priority in our minds and accordingly our actions & choices are to be guided solely. So, let us come together and be "INDIAN" in true sense, act "INDIAN" in true sense and think "INDIAN" in true sense.

Jai Hind.
