Political Infiltration

                                                        “Mirjaffers “ in the political parties

We fought for freedom from the British rule through concerted efforts without any rivalry in between. But soon after the Freedom we dissolved our unity and stared thinking in different terms to excel each other in the making of an independent nation. Different parties took shape with different ideologies resulting in mutual hatred and distrust amongst the parties. This type of attitudes grew up in geometrical proportions and the parties started in fights which shook the very foundation of our independence.

The rivalry in the party politics created strained relation amongst the politicians. The “Black Sheep” also infiltrated in the party playing their dual role. These “ MIRJAFFERS” played the role of secret informers and tilted the political equilibrium even without the knowledge of the Leaders.  It is true that some of the branded party leaders/followers   turn hostile and work as agencies of the other parties and create incorrigible damage to loyal politicians and their attempts to build up strong Governance in the country.

This type of infiltration of truant politicians, interfere in the administration and also vitiate the criminal and civil cases  pending against mischief mongers and  criminals. They play the role of the LEGENDARY BAT in the day to day affairs of the State. A vigilant and impartial investigation and follow up action only can isolate such unwanted elements from the politics.  Unless we weed out these MIRJAFFERS we will hit on the “Rock of Gibralter”, as I may call it, and perish soon. 

Therefore a “Flame testing” is necessary before we induct people in any party for that matter, to identify the genuineness of the persons to serve the country as a public servant/ politician in the true sense of the word. The party leadership must be very alert to sort out the “misfits” before it is too late. ..
