A story learnt in school, when 4 blind people were asked to define elephant, everyone had their own version, based on their limited exposure either to only trunk, tail, legs or tummy; but none knew what was the reality; a corollary drawn, 5th April’ 2011, came the India against Corruption (Now partly Aam Aadmi Party), where, none knew the real thingie, many got clinged to this creature, with their own assumption, expectations and definition. Some felt it was alternate solution, few others felt, now ALL politicians will work, yet another thought this move is against corrupt congress, and so on so forth. Everyone had their own specific and at times mutually exclusive reasons to join a common movement. As the elephant, started walking in, slowly the robe under which it was hidden, started peeling off, which rose few questions (legitimate), but with the reply, nakedness started becoming more and more explicit, be it on terms of even corruption, or other issues related to Indian woes. Many started to dissociate from Aam Aadmi Party erstwhile ‘Indian Against Corruption’, due to lack of clarity or hyper arrogance, dipped in “holier than thou” attitude. Finally, the organizers attempted to create a referendum, where anyone even doubting IAC or its core team, were pro-corruption, such was the heightened cynicism created, which succeeded in blinding many promising youth with such bizarre nautanki of the decade. I shall not dwell much on the other issues which I have already raised time and again through twitter or blogging.
Today Aam Aadmi party is anything but to stand against corruption, and one such issue is raised, that is – communal politics played by the party, commonly known as AAP. Although the roots were long sowed in even before the creation of party, removal of Bharat MATA picture from their agitation 1st nail in coffin. then stated series of communal and anti India agenda, where Prashant Bhushan talked in lines of Kashmir separatists; which subsequently Anna Hazare head of the then IAC had to dissociate with, Kejriwal publicly insulting the service of RSS, based on his prejudice and perception, without iota of proof, or even clarification. Prashant Bhushan goes to extent of defending Banned terrorist organization SIMI, see here
Most recently, Kejriwal wrote a separate letter wooing to Indian Muslims for upcoming Delhi election, while addressing specific community is not legally wrong, however few points raised and hoax promises made, does raises the eyebrow, as although party claiming to be of common Indians, who are focused on issues of corruption and governance; and not interested in playing religious chord, as AAP claims.
This is even Kumar Vishwas, sung the glory of martyrdom of sh. M C Sharma, in numerous of his events, and got rousing appreciation, but just for votes, to be taken from muslim community, the death of police officer is mocked; how petty can AAP gets, they make even Digvijay Singh look better.
Apart from routine rhetoric rant akin to narrow communal political party like MIM or CONGRESS, who considers Indian Muslim to be deft of any logical rationale, AAP exceeds the mandate of communal politics and raises the issue of Batla House Encounter and claimed it to be fake encounter. When the alert social media users, questioned the premise and also demanded reasoning for such a statement, at the time when even highest judiciary claimed the encounter to be genuine. After receiving flak from social media and others at large over such statements, that insulted martyrdom of MC Sharma, who lost his life during the encounter. AAP came out with clarification, which was as stupid, that if such clarification is base of logic, even Rahul Gandhi is eligible for IQ if 258+
AAP clarification, mentions – while encounter saw death of two youth and also inspector shri Mohan Sharma, many have doubts over whether encounter was fake or not, thus we raise this topic to have detailed investigation to see whether the youth were innocent or not, and if they were indeed terrorist, why were the not caught alive, to get information about their handlers. (Translation is done by me from the letter of AAP, if any discrepancy found, kindly inform me, to get corrected). Now, clarification makes it clearer, that AAP is actually trying to have contempt of court by terming Batla House encounter as fake, which Supreme Court says is genuine.
Clarification over Batla House comment fiasco, by AAP
The matter was taken off the twitter in personal chat over SMS to senior functionary of AAP, and asked over the Batla House issue raise by its party and his personal stand on the same. While he stands committed to say, he believed encounter to be genuine, and much is read from the issue. This brings me to few specific questions to AAP
- While raising the issue of terrorist, why was religious angle used in the letter written to specific community? If the intent was honest, to find about the death, using the religion of terrorist, for that matter, even of alleged terrorist vitiates the matter.
- Does AAP believes, the encounter was fake, and thus martyrdom of Brave office M C Sharma is hoax? If they believe, they should say it.
- If as that senior functionary, AAP believes, encounter was genuine, which means M C Sharma was been shot by those youth in the encounter; so how does the killer of police officer through guns (which obviously were not legally sourced), can be innocent?
When this questions were raised, the concerned AAP fellow, used not so parliamentary language, and suggested, CONG- BJP barks on such old ***** issues, but people are more interested in the corruption / price rise and governance issue. Which leaves me with the question, amma yaar, toh re-initiated this communal topic? It was AAP in attempt to woo Indian muslims, most important to note they denigrated the community, by thinking Indian muslims will fall for them if they appease by sucking up to terrorist. Also, if AAP wants to rise above communal politics and fight on corruption and governance, where does insulting of martyr fit in their definition, Hope to get reply.
