Recently I read two letters one was the letter written to the Prime Minister by a senior journalist and the other was a hypothetical Reply from the PM written by a commoner. Although this communication is specifically between The PM and Journalist, both the letters were actually asking many ethical and moral questions to common Indians like you and me.  

LETTER TO PRIME MINISTER …By PRAKASH A BAJAJ

Dear Mr. Prime minister

I am a typical mouse from Mumbai. In the local train compartment which has capacity of 100 persons, I travel with 500 more mouse. Mouse at least squeak but we don’t even do that.

Today I heard your speech. In which you said ‘NO BODY WOULD BE SPARED’. I would like to remind you that fourteen years has passed since serial bomb blast in Mumbai took place. Dawood was the main conspirator. Till today he is not caught. All our bolywood actors, our builders, our Gutka king meets him but your Government can not catch him. Reason is simple; all your ministers are hand in glove with him. If any attempt is made to catch him everybody will be exposed. Your statement ‘NOBODY WOULD BE SPARED’ is nothing but a cruel joke on this unfortunate people of India .

Enough is enough. As such after seeing terrorist attack carried out by about a dozen young boys I realize that if same thing continues days are not away when terrorist will attack by air, destroy our nuclear reactor and there will be one more Hiroshima .

We the people are left with only one mantra. Womb to Bomb to Tomb. You promised Mumbaikar Shanghai what you have given us is Jalianwala Baug.

Today only your home minister resigned. What took you so long to kick out this joker? Only reason was that he was loyal to Gandhi family. Loyalty to Gandhi family is more important than blood of innocent people, isn’t it?

I am born and bought up in Mumbai for last fifty eight years. Believe me corruption in Maharashtra is worse than that in Bihar . Look at all the politician, Sharad Pawar, Chagan Bhujbal, Narayan Rane, Bal Thackray , Gopinath Munde, Raj Thackray, Vilasrao Deshmukh all are rolling in money. Vilasrao Deshmukh is one of the worst Chief minister I have seen. His only business is to increase the FSI every other day, make money and send it to Delhi so Congress can fight next election. Now the clown has found new way and will increase FSI for fisherman so they can build concrete house right on sea shore. Next time terrorist can comfortably live in those house , enjoy the beauty of sea and then attack the Mumbai at their will.

Recently I had to purchase house in Mumbai. I met about two dozen builders. Everybody wanted about 30% in black. A common person like me knows this and with all your intelligent agency & CBI you and your finance minister are not aware of it.. Where all the black money goes? To the underworld isn’t it? Our politicians take help of these goondas to vacate people by force. I myself was victim of it. If you have time please come to me, I will tell you everything.

If this has been land of fools, idiots then I would not have ever cared to write you this letter. Just see the tragedy, on one side we are reaching moon, people are so intelligent and on other side you politician has converted nectar into deadly poison. I am everything Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Schedule caste, OBC, Muslim OBC, Christian Schedule caste, Creamy Schedule caste only what I am not is INDIAN. You politician have raped every part of mother India by your policy of divide and rule.

Take example of former president Abdul Kalam. Such a intelligent person, such a fine human being. You politician didn’t even spare him. Your party along with opposition joined the hands, because politician feels they are supreme and there is no place for good person.

Dear Mr Prime minister you are one of the most intelligent person, most learned person. Just wake up, be a real SARDAR. First and foremost expose all selfish politician. Ask Swiss bank to give name of all Indian account holder. Give reins of CBI to independent agency. Let them find wolf among us.. There will be political upheaval but that will better than dance of death which we are witnessing every day. Just give us ambient where we can work honestly and without fear. Let there be rule of law. Everything else will be taken care of.

Choice is yours Mr. Prime Minister. Do you want to be lead by one person or you want to lead the nation of 100 Crore people?

Hypothetical reply from the Prime Minister

Dear Mr. Mouse,

It is finally a relief to be able to hear your squeak in person. I am now convinced that though you are definitely not mute, you certainly are dumb.
I accept the fact that I said “Nobody would be spared”. However, this is a country governed by law, not a dictatorship regime, hence, I can punish someone only after their guilt is proven in court, not based on the squeaks of mice. I might add that Dawood’s guilt is proven and not only is the entire government security apparatus trailing him, but that there is also a red-corner Interpol notice and a reward for his arrest and capture. Also, if you would help me to prove which of my ministers are in cohorts with these criminals, I shall be the first to punish them.

I agree with you when you say – Enough is enough. As long as there are traitor mice in our midst who will sell the safety of the country by offering safe haven to such terrorists, nothing will change. I must remind you that as the terrorists came to Mumbai, they definitely had local support from within – from some of those mice you mention in your letter. As long as such traitors exist, even the most heavily fortified installations are at risk.

I understand that you are born and bought up in Mumbai for last fifty eight years. I also believe you when you say that corruption in Maharashtra is worse than that in Bihar. However, you must remember that in bribery and corruption, there are two sides – the taker and the giver. Now, ask yourself: Who is the giver? Is it not one of you that’s equally responsible for the way things are? Is it not you that’s paying 30% black money to the builder? Please do not think that I am shirking away from admitting to my share of the blame, but you must realize that I don’t have a magic wand to wave away corruption one fine morning.

You state: Vilasrao Deshmukh is one of the worst Chief minister I have seen. His only business is to increase the FSI every other day, make money and send it to Delhi so Congress can fight next election. Now the clown has found new way and will increase FSI for fisherman so they can build concrete house right on sea shore. Next time terrorist can comfortably live in those house , enjoy the beauty of sea and then attack the Mumbai at their will. So let me ask you, who was it that elected this “clown” to power? It certainly wasn’t me, you see.

The problem with mice like you is just that you are too comfortable in your arm chair shooting off letters to the PM. How about moving your a** off of the chair and doing something? You keep blaming the system for what it is – how about realizing that you are part of that evil system yourself? How about some action from you? How about a bit of thinking before casting your vote in the next elections? How about saying a firm “No” to the local MP when he comes over to “buy” your vote by offering you free booze?
All of that said, I must admit that our party has made some mistakes. But remember, everyone makes them. There are certain factions in our coalition that have their own agendas and they drag us in a different direction at times. It is at such times that I feel sad in my heart about the fact that though everyone is suffering, no one wants to actually make any change. For example, what did the mice in Mumbai do when the goondas of MNS went on a rampage? They wasted no time in blaming the government for it. If you believe that caste and regional politics is wrong, why would you elect representatives of the Shiv Sena, MNS, RJD etc etc in every election?

Now the choice is yours Mr. Mouse. Do you want to consider the good of the nation or will you keep voting into power the same politicians who keep dividing you based on religion? Are there any men left in this nation of 100 crore people or have all of them become the non-squeaking type of mice? The next election should tell us.

Jai Hind!! Long live the Gandhi and Nehru dynasty!
