The Nation Wants to Know

Mr Prime Minister,

We voted you to power three years ago with a huge majority in the Lok Sabha with a lot of realistic expectations.

[dropcap color=”#008040″ boxed=”yes” boxed_radius=”8px” class=”” id=””]B[/dropcap]ut most certainly we did not back you to see the Pakistani army cross the LoC, behead our soldiers and retreat with impunity. It is a matter of utter shame and humiliation to see this happening repeatedly. And all that your govt is saying is that “we will respond at a time of our choice.” We are sick and tired of this worn-out statement. It means nothing. We did have a surgical strike. But after that what? Zilch. Pro-Pak elements continue to pelt stones at our soldiers and shout into their ears “you Indian dogs go back.” Can there be anything more humiliating to a jawan than to be told to vacate his own motherland? A jawan complained of the pathetic quality of food. And what was the response of your govt? A so-called inquiry and the poor jawan is sacked!! No action against officials responsible for the poor quality of food being served to those guarding our borders. The Nation Wants to Know.

The BJP from the time of Shyama Prasad Mookherji has been demanding the scrapping of this anti-national Article. What is stopping you from doing that?

You are not even willing to scrap the Most Favoured Nation status which the Congress govt had conferred on Pakistan 20 yrs ago. What is the earthly reason for not doing this? Do you need majority in the Rajya Sabha for this or a nod from the Supreme Court? The Nation Wants to Know. You boasted of a 56″ chest. Where has it gone?The Nation Wants to Know.

Your Kashmir policy is a comprehensive disaster. The decision to join hands with Mehbooba Mufti is a Himalayan blunder. She is ordering the registration of FIRs against the army for tying a pro-Pakistani stone pelter to a jeep so that their men can escape from the cul de sac where they are trapped. Imagine FIR against the army for protecting their men? The Nation Wants to Know.

Never in the past has Pakistan had a free run of South Kashmir as it is having now. The Hizbul, which is a proxy of the ISI, is killing policemen, burning schools etc at will. The Nation Wants to Know why you are not hitting back. Why not a single Kashmiri Pandit has been resettled in the Valley in the last three years?

[dropcap color=”#008040″ boxed=”yes” boxed_radius=”8px” class=”” id=””]O[/dropcap]ne of the prime reasons for the Kashmir crisis is our own ambiguity vis a vis J & K being an integral part of our nation. Article 370 effectively places a question mark over the status of J & K being a part of India. The BJP from the time of Shyama Prasad Mookherji has been demanding the scrapping of this anti-national Article. What is stopping you from doing that? The Nation Wants to Know.

How is Mr. Jaitley going to stand up to Pakistan?

Mr Prime Minister the nation wants to know when you will teach Islamabad a lesson of its life? When will we have a full-fledged defence minister?

Can Arun Jaitley, who is reluctant to arrest Karthi Chidambaram despite a mass of unimpeachable evidence of amassing wealth, be expected to tackle Pakistan as defence minister? How is Mr. Jaitley going to stand up to Pakistan? The Nation Wants to Know.

And it is only a matter of days before Kulbhushan Yadav is hanged. If that happens I am certain that Rajnath Singh will say “we will respond at a time of our choice.” Maybe he is already ready with his statement.

Mr. Prime Minister, please demonstrate that you are different from Manmohan Singh. Put Pakistan in its place.

Jai Hind!!

  1. Last time you posted an article like this I criticized it for brevity and lack of substance. This one is improved, well done.
    And I agree.

  2. Mr Balakrishnan,, you have rightly expressed the anguish of a large segment of educated people who for the first time voted in large numbers thinking they are electing a strong knowledgeable honest administrator but then in this 3 years it has turned out to be otherwise.Our 56″ started off by appointing one of the most devious in BJP for the post of fm/dm.Why 2 big portfolios to one looser voters wondered.He kept many administrative heads vacant,did not change CBI head who is known dubious in the previous administration,big name corruption cases have not been followed up,big name murder also did not figure,many public sector enterprises went headless,he kept delaying appointment of judges taking the advice of a looser turned Attorney general who may even turnout to be an agent working for crooks.This 56″ fake can hardly inspire his own party to be less corrupt and more focused in delivery.He has surrounded himself with a big bunch of insipid nincompoops which indicates when he goes so will the party.He has turned out to be a complete obstinate megalomaniac in the making enigma.Who is he actually working for?I think pGurus will do a big service for lay readers to check the back ground of this 56″ enigma..Who he really is?

    • Shiv:
      The current govt is very calculative.. since there are no upcoming elections ,BJP wont take any steps with regards to this pak attack..BJP will make a ruckcus of Chiddu issue only during 2019 elections as it will garner votes for them..
      BJP is not for the people.. they do wanna hold to the post of PM by hook or crook..

      • Well ,, you are right and wrong..First where you are right – Current BJP regime headed by 56″ megalomaniac in the making is a devious headline grabber.he doesn’t have education to understand numerous problems this nation is stuck with.Like any power monger, he needs yes men around him which indicates his mediocrity.Where you are wrong is BJP has in their ranks fairly nationalistic minded scrupulous men and women.unfortunately they are not able to raise their voice because Indians will not vote for a forward caste because of their deep rooted suspicion and also poisoning of their minds during british raj.But times change, Indians when they start unifying will start adopting more and more dharmic approach which their forefathers were highly familiar with.

        • Modi cannot remove Jaitley. After demonetisation Jaitley’s hold has increased in a manner that they swim or drown together. Modi also is not his own man. He is just a puppet. The Indian world is not what it appears to be.
