Gaming the Election Commision

I thought this week i will abstain from talking about politics, especially the caste based divide. But what has happened in last few days has made me completely change my decision. First of all, if Varun Gandhi has made any comment like he wants the Muslims to leave or he will hurt/kill them, that should be deeply condemned. I do that.

At the same time, the parties like congress and others i feel are trying to push their pseudo-secular agenda out of this non-issue. If Varun Gandhi has said something like that, like all politicians say in other cases "Law will take its own course". Why push it? It seems that congress is playing some kinda sick game where its trying to utilize the communal divide. Especially with BJP, who can claim communalism as their trump card on back foot. Some how I feel the EC's hurry to take steps seems fishy and dubious. Actually speaking the Presidential Gazette notification has come only today(Monday 23/03/09). So can EC force the code of conduct, before that? I read some details on that and they suggested "No, EC can't ".

Second reason for my doubt is, Why did the EC not take such immediate action against, Stalin, Mulayam Singh Yadav and Govinda who distributed money in front of national channels. I haven't till now read any action taken against them.

Finally, the Navin Chawla and Congress Nexus is clear to all. For the first time, i have a small feeling that EC is biased. Especially with Gopalswami is in his last days as CEC. He is more of like a puppet chief. Not wanting to rub the ruling party on wrong side after the 'remove Chawla ' debacle. Especially with a President more belonging to Congress than India. (How better is the life of Mahrashtrians after getting a Maharashtrian President, lemme ask the Shiv Sena).

Saying all these i have to stress two points. If anybody for what ever reason talks about any community in bad light should be severely punished. At the same time, if anybody says anything in support of Hindus he should not be branded communal. But sadly, thats the trend in India and is being highly backed by mainstream media. (Most of the blogs and online articles i have read in this context have the same opinion.So its not a personal feeling)

If a person says "I love ABC community". He is not necessarily communal. But if some body says "I hate ABC community". He is communal and he shouldn't be allowed to do that.

I am not concerned about all these. Congress has very dubious record of influencing Govt agencies. Election Commission seems to be its next victim. But if it pushes the EC to take drastic step of de recognizing BJP's poll symbol or even something remotely close, the congress may be indirectly setting the stage for a BJP victory (with sympathy vote) and also the little bit of divide in the Hindutva vote will cease to exist and they will close ranks. Once BJP comes to power they will exploit fully the congress trend of influencing the EC and exploit one of the last bastions of unbiased national Institutions. It will be then, one of the severest punch on Indian democracy.

I will be looking forward to how much Congress , BJP and EC are gonna go and how much more our democracy is gonna be hurt.

All I gotta say is, some great cops and army men laid down their life for this country, for Indians. Not for Hindus and Not for Muslims or any other community. For once, lets vote as Indians rather than vote as a Hindu or Muslim or upper caste or Youngster or elder.

FOR ONCE, VOTE AS INDIAN.

VOTE IS NOT A RIGHT, ITS A DUTY.

even I am trying to get myself registered in the voters list. I think if I get registered, i will take 49-O ;)
