Can you answer me?
Can I ask you a question.
I think at least being an Indian I have this right. After Mumbai terrorist attack our image ,if we had any,had gone to Dogs.Sponsored attacks are now and then and they grab national and internatinal attention but what about our internal security. Are we safe , do we have liberty to do any lawful act or we are just like refugees in our own country.
Let me cite a personal example, I live in Libya with my family so there is no one to look after my old parents.They both are readers in Govt.aided colleges .Few years ago they bought a piece of land ,got it fully registered,in the court of law,and in court language ,"Ikrarnamaand Bainama " was done and they paid full amount for stamping and did every other formality which was necessary.Soon after they were served several notices from the court as they were told that there are some other claimants for the same piece of land.My father ,old but brave man fought those cases and won them .
Several years he waited and saved penny -penny form his hard earned salary and arranged money from this or that means and decided to boundry that piece of land .Time to time he was threatned and was persued to leave his claim over that land but he didn't give it up.He went several times to Police stations to request for security but was send back with this or that reason.
The day when he went to get it boundried ,irrespective of his advance complaint lodged in the nearby police station against some people, no security was provided and when the "Bhoomipojan" ritual was going on a gang of fifty armed men attacked my family,and they left only when they thought that my father is dead.His car was destroyed his two students were beaten till they lost their consiousness.Any how or other they reached the police station to lodge a complaint.For two days the "S.O" didn't write the complaint though all the medical tests and report were there.Then I talked to DIG Aligarh,UP,India from Libya , naturally it was a pathetic appeal to do something against the criminals then only the things started moving that too at snail's pace.Then the F.I.R was lodged but what complaint my parents made and what copy they got was totally different from the Actual F.I.R which was lodged in the Police station AKRABAD,Aligarh,U.P and except one or two all the others who were named in the F.I.R are moving scot free.Nothing has been done by the S.O as it has come to knowledge that, that S.O was bought.
I ask the intelligentsia of India ,why do we pay tax,why thousands like me send foreign currency to India and increase our foreign reserves .
Don't we need an accountable system. A system which should be responsible for the work ,it is assigned.
When we do our jobs ,either in private or public,we are supposed to be fully responsible and accountable and when it comes to Politicians,Bureaucrats,Police, and PWD these two words ,accountability and responsibility ,become entirely alien.
CAN I ASK YOU,When we we'll wake up to our rights,when we will demand transparency .Unless we aren't secured internally how can we dream of external security.
If any humane Bureaucrat and Politician reads it please do the need ful and let the justice prevail.
