440. THE PEOPLE OF INDIA: THE SELF IMMOLATION

440

THE PEOPLE OF INDIA:

THE SELF IMMOLATION

          The union finance minister and famous lawyer, Mr. Arun Jaitely, on 18 October 2015, said that ‘democracy cannot be the tyranny of the unelected. He added that ‘if the elected are undermined, democracy itself would be in danger’.

He, further, said that ‘there is no principle in democracy anywhere in the world that institutions of democracy are to be saved from the elected’.

          Who are the un-elected?

           Does he mean the present writer?

          A prime minister might commit or tend to commit acts of corruption.

          The opposition parties might choose to ignore it.

          Then, it is the duty of the citizens to point out this to him.

          A citizen does this not simply to correct him.

          Or to remain as his latent master either.

          He does this  to seize power.

          Simply to seize power through the power of the ballot box.

          The prime minister should not choose to cover up this.

           If he does, the people will not know his antagonists.

          They will not get any chance to elect them.

          Naturally, his antagonists cannot seize power.

          Instead, the corrupt alone will be elected and  reelected.

          No one can save the nation from them.

          Evidently, had there been Freedom, things would have been different.

          The present elected might have been in the street.

          And those in the street might have been the elected.

          Dr. Manmohan Singh would not have become the leader of the nation.

          Mr. Narendra Modi might have been forced to displace the present man.      

          Therefore, Freedom is essential not to curb corruption alone.

          It is mandatory for democracy also.

          The next stage is reporting this matter to the Supreme Court.

          It is not to educate the learned judges.

          But it is to force them to do their duty.

          The Constitution allows this.

          Sections 166 and 167, apparently, exists for this.

          Its duty is to enforce freedom of expression.

          We have given Freedom to write. Is it not sufficient?

          If the judges talk like this, the nation cannot be saved from the elected.

          Therefore, the people must know.

           Everything the judges know by virtue of their position.

          Then the media will have no freedom to deny Freedom.

          The court is a pillar to support the  democratic edifice.

          Therefore, it shall not disown this.

          If it  disowns this, where will the people go for democracy?

          Therefore, the court shall not look at Freedom through coloured glass.

          If it does, corruption alone would rule the nation.

          Then, it forfeits its right to punish the corrupt.

          When it punishes the corrupt, all cannot write 439 letters.

           Some simply resort to self immolation.

          Who is responsible for this tyranny?

          The court, the elected or the un-elected?

This is letter No.440.
