The Hand that Holds the Pen

         

  THE HANDS THAT HOLD THE PEN – HOLD THE BROOM STICK?

Changes take place in people and surroundings as time goes by. The same changes are taking place in the political policies also in the form of new parties adopting different party symbols, the latest being the BROOM STICK (symbol of AAP).

Whatever may be the reasons for launching new party on different ideologies & policies, the ultimate result must be the betterment of the people at large, in their social, cultural and economical status in the overall development of the country.

The famous watch words “Roti, Kappada, and Makan ( Food , Clothing & Shelter) were initiated by the veteran politicians of the past. We can achieve their visions if there is a “common gradient” in the policies of various parties in building and shaping our country at all fronts.

Now the new born party, AAP is born with a different outlook to set right the affairs of the state, by eradicating the Corruption rampant in all spheres of administration. Eminent writer, SARA JOSEPH  has shown her willingness to join this AAP. She can also contribute towards the welfare of the people by her writings which will add to the great task of eliminating corrupt thoughts & actions from the society.

 While joining as an active member of the AAP, she should not leave the WRITING PEN in the haste of holding the BROOM STICK to sweep off the corrupt elements from the society. Each person is unique in mind & body and his/her contribution to the society, is the outcome of the talents inherent in them. That talent is to be identified and used for the betterment of the common man.

Therefore I feel that change over of ideas and policies at the later stage of one’s life may not do well in the wholesome development of the country.. 

The PEN is mightier than the SWORD and WORDS are mightier than SWORDS are the true sayings, Therefore persons like SARA JOSEPH must continue to use her PEN rather than using the BROOM STICK to sweep off the blemishes in the form of CORRUPTION, from the society.

CAN THERE BE A CHANGE IN THE POLITICAL PHASE...

                            IN and Outside the Assembly Hall?

During the year that has gone by, we have had many occasions of objections followed by obstructions and premature closure of the assembly proceedings….

In this year also, the situations may not be different. We can expect more of agitations both inside & outside the assembly hall causing loss of precious moments in our struggle to achieve self sufficiency in food and dwelling houses for all….

The opposition parties (whoever may be) tries to pull down the ruling party on whimsical & unimportant matters, not contributing, in any way, for the progress of this developing state.

the agitations and  “Dharana” hitherto on the streets are now being retreated to the assembly hall again, as stated by the convener of the opposition group, He says that  the change over from street to inside the assembly is in view of the ensuing election!.

This seems to be a strange declaration.. How could the agitation be withdrawn, if it was a genuine “samaram” for a genuine purpose to protect the rights & privileges of the general public?  By continuing the samram they should have won the hearts of the people and come out successful in the election…

The elected representatives have to perform their part inside the assembly and sort out problems confronting the state, jointly to arrive at a decision, acceptable to all. Instead they take shortcuts and come out of the hall and behave rashly outside and block the roads and resort to samaram. This results in inconvenience to public in their day to day activities. The leaders do not have any control over their followers, resulting in violent reactions from the unruly crowed causing  severe damage to the state.

The leaders of all the parties, for that matter, are confused and not able to visualize their goal clearly, and they try to undo the efforts of the ruling party whenever they take over the reign or sit in opposition bench…

The actions, of both ruling & opposition, seem to be thoughtless & immature in style & use.
