Dear Sir Ms.Vaishnavi Prasad deserves to be praised by each and every patriotic citizen of our country. What she said in the first sentence 'a military coup' is required as it will instill the discipline to in each and every citizen of this country. It will also see a large scale transformation of our society as it will surely dissimate corruption and undo irresponsible and the ugly politicians from this country. It is a shame that the our Government is totally ignoring the defence forces. It is because of them we are safe in our country. Our country is surrounded by enemy countries, to the west is the Islamic Republic of Pakistan which is very much discliplined in training, arming and sending terrorists to our country to create havoc and disturb peace and communal harmony, to the east is the counrty liberated by us called Bangladesh which again is an islamic country which has started doing the same noble service as pakistan, to the noth is China which trains moists and sends them into our country to hamper our country's development and to take law into their hands and to the south is the country in turmoil i.e., Srilanka where bitter fighting is ensuing between the Srilankan Arny and the so called freedom fighters i.e, the LTTE which is no different from Al Queda or Laksha-e-Taiba or Simi.
We have politicians who divide this country by religion caste and creed to gain 3 things: 1.Vote Banks (eyeing on minority votes by appeasing them and on majority votes by dividing them) 2. Power (for them and for their family members as the heriditary system is in vogue now) 3. Loot our country to amass huge wealth. I am sure that if we measure the wealth of the politicians of our country, it is will be more than double that of our country's GDP and if their wealth is attched, imagine our country's progress and prosperity. Our country's inflation will spiral down and will touch zero in no time. Our country will be liberated from the blood sucking leeches i.e, the politicians. Free education can be offered to one and all and basic necessity of food, clothing and shelter can be provided to the needy by the Government.Our country will prosper as we will have the military discipline and 100% literacy. We will not have a Mamata Banerjee or an Anthony or a foreigner as the de-facto head of our county or for that matter no dirty and filthy politicians indeed. We have these irresponsible, unfit and uncouth politicians heading our Government and Armed forces which they do not deserve at all. We have witnessed Kargil War in which our armed forced sacrificed their lives to save our country. Most of the assaults were near suicidal. Had this intrusion not prevented by our armed forces, we would have lost ladakh and the higher reaches of out Indian territory to our enemies and we would have been under constant shelling. Our LOC will shink to Jammu (Kashmir will be gone for ever). Our Country Politicians are even worse than our enemy countries. A time will come that these dogs will face the music and that will be the end of it. Our Armed forces should be the best paid in our country. Because of them we are safe and our country is safe. For a change and as a punishment, these dirty political pigs should be posted in the borders and then only they will realise what is life.
