“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 started
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. ..
