BJP and Madhya Pradesh Government insults Shaheed IPS Narendra Kumar's family

I am furious as I write this blog. The Madhya Pradesh government and  BJP is blatantly insulting the IPS officer Narendra Kumar and his family. The same officer who died in the line of duty in Madhya Pradesh stopping the illegal miners was not being afforded the basic courtesy of an investigation to reveal the facts behind his murder. Even when the Shivraj Singh Chauhan announced CBI probe his ministers are threatening the family that they will have to face the repercussion of the same.

I am right now watching the Newshour repeat telecast in Times Now. Meenakshi Lekhi of BJP is crying hoarse about how the state government has registered an FIR, arrested the driver and ordered judicial probe. Has the government done a huge favour to the people of India? Is this a matter to be proud about and needs to be congratulated?

Going ahead Meenakshi Lekhi is insisting that she is not sure if it was really a mining mafia kill or illegal mining that has resulted in the brave officer's untimely death.  She is claiming the same could be an accident. Why then order a judicial probe till you establish that it was not a case of accident? Why did the government show so much hurry?

IPS officer Narendra Kumar's valiant attempt to get onto a tractor carrying illegally mined stones is now a folklore know to every Indian. We all know how the tractor crushed him to death. His wife an IAS officer working in the same state, is carrying their first child. When she demands a CBI probe, when we the people demand a CBI probe along with the Judicial probe, how can a state minister of Madhya Pradesh threaten the family by saying you will have to face the repercussions?

This is another officer who died protecting his country and its natural resources. Meenakshi Lekhi and BJP are not even ready to accept that he is a Shaheed. This at the time, when there are reports that say that there is rampant illegal mining in the Cheif minister's constituency.

There is a report submitted by a senior officer of Madhya Pradesh government on October 2010 claiming rampant illegal mining. The government has done nothing other than claim that there is no mining mafia. When asked by Arnab Goswami what the government has done, today Meenakshi Lekhi says there are some legal difference between the state and central government and it went in a totally different direction. Shaina MC who came on the show the day the Officer Narendra Kumar died said the government is debating.

Is this a joke? So many young officers are dying for the nation's cause as they debate on things. They are sitting on reports for years and the RTI filed to know the government steps says the government does not keep records of the same.

On the day this 30 year old officer died the IG to whom the officer was reporting came on the News Hour show in Times now and when asked whether there is any political involvement, he said no. He did not even blink. He has already concluded that. On the day the officer was killed. So we know that no politician is gonna be screwed up this time too.

I pray to god that this young officer gets justice.  All people across the globe have to raise their voice. Even if you are not Indian. This officer tried to stop the illegal loot of stones, this is if nothing else then at least an environmental cause. This will encourage more young people inside and outside the system to fight for truth and justice.

Mark my words, if Congress's trade mark scams where 2G spectrum and CWG games. BJP is brewing one  even when it's in opposition. Their big ticked scam is Mining. Don't believe me? Ok, Uttrakhand, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka. What is common between these states? BJP government. Even in the state of Andhra Pradesh where this scam is under scanner and Congress is ruling the sate, its the Reddy brothers of Karnataka's BJP unit who are involved. Only place where BJP came to power fighting against Mining is Goa. Let's see what happens there. But very difficult to ignore these dots and say nobody from BJP is involved.

Justice of Shaheed IPS Narendra Kumar.

IPS officer Narendra Kumar, Shaheed

One more young life has been ended abruptly serving our motherland. How many more young men and women will fight day in and out for our country?

I salute IPS officer Narendra Kumar for his relentless efforts to stop illegal mining and giving our nation the ultimate sacrifice. But in the same breath i need to ask what are we doing to end this. This endless need for our own citizens to die protecting our country, that too from itself. From its own citizens.

Today is Holi, the whole nation is celebrating. But pain and grief is all that his family has been offered on this day. Manjunath, Satyendra Dubey, Yashwant Sonawane and now Narendra Kumar, so many more knowns and unknowns.

We can't even come up with a proper land act, mining policy or even stop illegal mining. Across states, along the length and breadth of this country we are fighting this menace of illegal mining. Starting from Uttarakhand, where a Sadhu gave his life last year fasting unto death to save Ganga from  mining,  to Kerala where river bed mining is supposedly one of the biggest scams in the state.

In Goa just few days back, a Government lost elections which did not much against illegal mining. We have Andra Pradesh, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh all fighting against illegal mining. At same time out political bigwigs are backing the illegal miners. The law is also not helping. Its very slow or totally ineffective. Yedyurappa has come out of mining allegation in a matter of months without a scratch. Now he is claiming that he will become CM again. So much for our media activism or People power.

There  will be more young men and women, they will not blink or question, they will give the ultimate sacrifice when called upon. But is it necessary that such young lives are put to an end. For no reason. Just to satisfy the wimps, fantasies and vices of some people.

Will there be one day, when we will not have to protect our country from our own people? Lets hope and lets work towards it.

I Salute  Narendra Krumar.

Jai Hind.

Congress takes a beating in State elections across India

The news is on expected lines. Congress has taken a beating in many states where results of state elections was declared today. Except for Manipur and comparatively good performance in Uttarakhand  Congress  has lost face.

Statistics and history were both pro- Congress in Punjab and Uttarakhand. But they simply could not capitalize on it. In Punjab's case  this is the first time that an incumbent government has  won the election. In Uttarakhand BJP government was said to be so corrupt still congress could not capitalise on the same. Goa goverment paid dearly for the corruption in mining. BJP had put forth a person with very clean image.Also, the Congress family plan in all states  Punjab, Goa, U. P. were all rejected.Congress communal card also did not have its effect.

But one point that BJP has to take note is that, its not BJP's victory that has been staged today, It has been Congress's loss. Even Rahul Gandhi could not change that.  BJP has not been able to justify its claim to clean image. Akhilesh has spoken to people's heart in UP. Congress and BJP really need to take some lessons from this. SP and BJP's Goa unit needs to learn that if they do not back they clean words by clean deeds their future is also going be the same for them too.

Congratz to all winners. Better luck next time to others.
