Emergency is not an option The event occurred 43 years ago. The architect of emergency is dead and gone .History has recorded the accesses committed during the period .Everyone agreed that it was the darkness at noon and darkest period of democracy.Many of those who suffered during the period perhaps have also been laid to rest. after making their relevant feelings and objections .It is not that people did not protest even though liberty to life was suspended and all other rights guaranteed by Constitution. The media in protest printed blank pages to show their disagreement. Indira Ghandhi herself was punished, as she lost elections and Janata Party took the centre stage. Hence she received her punishment and accepted with grace and humility. It was perhaps this attitude that made her bounce back with vengeance. For all practical purposes it is now flogging the dead horse, even with an attempt to introduce it in syllabus with avowed intention to inform the new generation. What difference will it make in anybody’s life, especially for those who were not even born? what affinity and interest will the generation be enamoured. Politicians are only searching for issues to keep them in relevance and sway the voters, specially on the eve of elections
It appears that ruling party is catching the straw like a drowning man, It has run out of ideas as the present scenario in the country and the mood of the people has eroded the faith in all verbal promises, that appealed voters earlier .The voters and electorate have seen for themselves that all parties seek votes promising the moon and then swear by obstructionist opposition., Another bogey is the past sins of the party in power then and inability of present Govt to set things right and for which the change was done, not to day in or day out to lay the blame at the door of the predecessor as the most logical strategy of reasons The Govt of the day has floundered badly on their own promises so badly that voters are harbouring ill will towards new messiahs in power, The talk diet , vexing eloquent about failures of past Govt has reached its limits of tolerance. Intolerance in all aspects of life and breathing down the neck of dissenters., or those who dare to express a view contrary to the rulers No reforms have improved the life of voters, in fact the burden of rising prices, crimes , lack of safety of women children, unemployment, demonetisation has crushed all hopes of growth and development It is wishful thinking that emergency flogging will turn the voters or Indians at large towards ruling party and forgive them of all types of accesses seen in every day life . It is preposterous, that ruling party in 4 years have crossed all the progress of seven decades, forgetting that they are best are building on the past foundations with microscopic changes in the life of Nation. One can only conclude that the ruling party is in emergency to portray issues that will catch the attention of the masses and wean them away from the onslaught of alternative that is building up in strength Nelson Lopes Chinchinim
