The Congress Working Committee, which met
on Sunday the 10th of September 2006, had resolved to celebrate the centenary
of "Satyagraha" movement. The resolution says, "It was resolved
to uphold the 'legacy' of Mahatma Gandhi, in a world that is continuing the
spread of 'violence & hatred', sustained propagation of 'bigotry &
discord' and where 'poverty & inequality' are still very much prevalent".
It is an irony that the party did nothing
to up hold the legacy of Mahatma while in power for 50 out of 60 years after
independence. In fact, it has moved far away from the legacy to a position,
which is a point of no return. The fact is that the party's attitude, approach
& the functioning style have all degenerated to a great extent after Mahatma's
exit and it would be foolish to believe that the present day Congress and
the pre independence Congress are one & the same.
Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru rejected the Mahatma's
idea of dismantling Congress after independence, with a sole selfish aim of
placing himself in the central seat of power and the Mahatma also, knowingly
or unknowingly, made the mistake of projecting him as the Prime Minister instead
of Sardar Patel. Since then, the Congress party has become the property of
Nehru family. Nehru, with his anti-Hindu mindset, was full of appeasement
towards minorities. He gave full freedom to the Christian missionaries to
conduct their evangelization programs and allowed them to stabilize well in
our country. On the other hand, he alienated Muslims from the mainstream with
his appeasement policies and allowed them to have their own separatist agenda
& personal laws, for which J & K is an apt example.
Nehru's daughter Indra, went one step ahead,
by treating the entire country itself as her family's property and she was
a symbol of 'arrogance & autocracy' as evidenced by the dark days of 'emergency'.
Her son Rajiv made 'corruption' as the 'mantra'
of the party and the Congress party earned the distinction of being the most
corrupt party in the country. Before independence, all the Congress leaders
sacrificed their health & wealth for the freedom of the country &
welfare of the people, but, after independence, all the Congress leaders have
amassed a lot of money & wealth. The present chief, a foreign head, has
excellently adopted the legacy of Congress in a short span of time and is
reigning supreme now as the Super Prime Minister without any responsibility
& accountability. She is 'all in one', that is, she has inherited all
the qualities of her in-laws' family. Being born as a catholic and grown with
a natural anti-Hindu mindset, she has inherited the indifference & appeasement
mentality of Nehru, autocracy & arrogance of Indra, corruption of Rajiv,
apart from the common aspects such as the dividing & ruling of people,
treating the party as own property, etc. In the post independence era, a Nehruvian
legacy has been evolved & maintained till date and in such a scenario,
where is the question of upholding the legacy of Mahatma? The present day
Congressmen have ben remembering Gandhi only while wearing the famous "Gandhi
Cap" during their annual meets. Madam Sonia, in an attempt to hoodwink
the people in the name of reviving the spirit of freedom movement, stage managed
a "Dhandi March" a few months back, to commemorate the "Salt
Satyagraha". All her spineless sycophants followed the same in their
respective states and the show ended up as a damp squib. In the last few weeks,
the party made a mockery of the centenary of Vande Mataram and insulted this
great nation by creating an unnecessary controversy, which widened the rift
between the already divided people. Further to that, SPM Sonia & PM Manmohan
added insult to injury, by choosing not to attend the song recital function.
Having earned the wrath of the entire nation on this big blunder, the party
is now trying to divert the attention of the people by announcing a country
wide celebration of the centenary of the Satyagraha movement. The CWC was
urgently convened before the PM's tour, not to discuss the Aam Aadmi's issues
or farmers' suicides or price hike or national security or terrorism or foreign
policy, but, to discuss the escape route from the Vande Mataram fiasco. The
people can be rest assured that the satyagraha celebration by the party will
also end up with the same fate of Dhandi March & Vande Mataram, because,
stage shows will not reach the people's heart. Such celebrations would be
successful only when they are celebrated by the Indians, who are 'true' at
heart. Sonia & her spineless men are not true Indians and hence they would
certainly fail at the end.
If at all the party wants to honor the Mahatma
in the centenary year of the Satyagraha, it would do well by removing the
suffix "Gandhi" from the name of its president and by addressing
its number one family as "Nehru Family" instead of "Nehru-Gandhi"
family. Maino Gandhi may act like a "Mother Superior" now, but,
it is only temporary and Mahatma Gandhi was, is & will be always the "Father"
of this Great Hindu Nation and he will bless us all for Peace & Prosperity.
