HOMELESS-TERRORIST
India is a limelight of citizens living in poverty line, comprised of 26 percent from the population of 2 billion. Indian Government makes all possible policies and raise funds in its five year plans but as a whole it has become a “RAJNEETI BUSINESS” for them serving the people living in BPL. They are becoming a sign of pity, alien homeless creatures used in backdrops of the calendar, much talked about issues of our nation and lastly seen as a sign of terror.
Let’s bring to light the latest and the most famous glory of our nation “THE COMMONWEALTH GAMES”. The world over recognition, fame, pride and prestige is marking up for all our forthcoming achievements. But somewhere down at the corner we are hiding the pain, the unavoidable ache which our beautiful country is going through i.e. poverty.
Delhi, the heart of our nation is a heartless nation for the poorer section. The city shows no empathy for the poorer section and regards them as illegal migrants. They are a menace which is griming our national capital. According to them, there are no accepted standards, laws and rights for them to live in our country.
For tracking up the games, the government demolished 350 slums. Statistically in each slum a family of five resides which means a total of 1750+ families were left homeless. The diamond mansions for the international players and footpath for the beggars because this happen only in India. For summing up the loopholes in commonwealth, the government placed eight mobile courts just to catch illegal beggars and when this was not implemented the magistrate himself went to the exact locations where people were allegedly begging.
Now a question to all the readers “Do you think beggars are illegal?” Sorry to say but they are not a sign of pity, begging is not a profession that someone can chose it is the situation that makes them bound to beg. No one knows what their past is; no one understands the life they go through hence why to judge them as illegal when there is no proof of it.
Government of India tries to prove, that India is a country where cent percent citizens are sustainable and are willing for all the latest developments and technologies. But what about those underdeveloped 26 percent, how do we eradicate them and make them the part of our growing nation.
Looking at the verdict of Supreme Court in the nagia maanchi demolition case, it was pretty much clear that people should not come to Delhi unless they can afford to live in the city. And this verdict goes against the law of freedom which was implied by the same government.
Our constitution gives guarantee to every citizen to live and work in any part of our nation. Think for a minute if this law of freedom did not exist, then citizen of up, bihar and mp would have never migrated from their native place to work in Mumbai or Delhi. And if the poor migrated from Delhi to another part of our country, then imagine the workforce going nil and work cost boosting like blood pressure.
Why does the Government think that poor are unhygienic for Delhi. These poor have not willed to be poor. That’s what they all are trying to do in every possible way, is to adjust in the situation and begging is one of the way. So, either we all pledge and stand up to uplift them or we reconstruct our policies in a way that it focuses on these weaker section.
