ModiSarkar2 Critical Agenda - 1

The elections are over. The temple-tours are over. The swearing-in and coronation are over. In the second term of Narendra Modi, GOI has to act on some critical issues at top speed. The time for sloganeering is also over. LBS coined the famous slogan “Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan”. After the Pokhran tests of 1998, ABV improvised it to “Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan, Jai Vigyan”. The latest is NM improvising his own slogan “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas”. Catchy slogans are great election tactics and sometimes can be guiding principles in work. But I hope ignominious slogans like “Ek haath Guran, Ek haath Phantom” don’t return.

The start of the first term of ModiSarkar was marked with inexperience, diffidence and sometimes with outright meekness and fear. The best example of such meekness is the instant setting up of a “Christian helpline” over the FRAUDULENT “Christians under attack” campaign by media, NGOs, Sickular political parties and some foreign goons. Such fraudulent campaigns will continue now that the Sickulars and Paki-doormats have been thrashed again. There is no need to bend to such fraudsters. At best, respond only when the full facts are out. Shedding public tears over Vemula or Akhlaq only emboldens them. In a country as vast as India, stray incidents of violence happen all over.

The failure to make a clear statement from PMO that these need to be handled by State Police and not the PM. A clear and stern message needs to be sent out so that delightful mud-slinging by Sickos know that it will not work. Here’s a small list of priority actions (other than the usual economic and developmental activity) that ModiSarkar 2.0 cannot ignore anymore.

Judiciary:

One of the great things that separates democracies from dictators is the judiciary. India’s judiciary has become as lazy, as corrupt and as inconsistent as the Congress or the media. Medical student Payal Tadvi committed suicide in Mumbai a few days ago. Three doctors were immediately arrested for it. Obviously, the case would be harassment and abetting suicide though there may be surprises. For a similar case, a crook like Shashi Tharoor keeps on getting bails and has not been arrested even once though he was the husband of the victim and the marriage was under seven years. I still believe Sunanda is a murder case and not suicide.

And because PC manages to get such extensions with some favourite judge, he doesn’t cooperate with the investigators and waltzes around giving political and moral gyaan and writing opeds. This is a serious FLAW. Therefore, pass the NJAC again and end this private club called Collegium. If there is a confrontation, then get rid of judges too through Parliament processes. The manner in which the Ram Mandir case has been subjected to politics by the judiciary is deplorable. Make it clear that this political bent in judiciary is unacceptable anymore. Increasingly, judges appear to be protecting the corrupt rather than helping justice. A complete revamp of courts, including investigation into assets of many judges, is now a must.

Punish the Corrupt:

Modi promised to punish the corrupt in the 2014 campaign. I can quote many of his statements. One that stands out was “People not only want to vote out the corrupt, they want to see them punished”. In the first term, a flurry of actions against them started only in the last year. There was some political fear about this. Some BJP supporters also feared punishing Sonia & Co. will get them sympathy. Nothing of that sort. India is no more in the 1980s. Modi has yet again asserted this in 2019:

If it has to happen in this term, then action should start straightaway. Ignore all the “vendetta” screams. This is normal for political criminals. Set up a task force to monitor cases. Set up a separate court, if necessary, and mandate daily hearings. The GOI refused to touch the NatHerald case for a long time and used it only for political campaigns. Every Indian wants to see the corrupt punished. And corruption doesn’t start at the bottom, it always starts at the top. Political criminals should not be sermonizing society or writing opeds. This includes media houses and personalities. Their rants on “attack on freedom of press” belongs in the garbage can. In which country does a Fincriminal get interim-bail extensions 25 times? Only in India.

In all major democracies, like the US, the worst criminals sing like canaries after being in custody for a few months. I am absolutely sure, arrest PC, Karti and all others, they too will sing like Saigal after being in custody for a few months for interrogation.

Education:

School education is the foundation of a nation. In the last decade school drop out rate has dropped dramatically overall. However, in 2018, in states like Jharkhand, UP, MP, Assam, Manipur etc. the dropout rate is still very high. Manipur has a dropout rate of 18%. The national rate may be much lower than these laggard states. The more serious concern is the high level of girl-student dropouts which is as high as 57% even in Gujarat. Enrolments aside, the quality of education, instructions and learning being fun is completely destroyed by incompetent ministers for many years. Separate the School Education Ministry from HRD. Establish a Mission to research and implement curriculum in schools. The subjects being taught in schools still have content from 1970s and uninteresting text books. India doesn’t figure anywhere in the top educated countries:

There are critical subjects (like Math, Science and Language) and non-critical subjects like History and Civics. The proficiency level demanded at schools for all subjects is uniform. And even the fraudulent history concocted by Commies into school books needs to go. Such books predominantly portray Hindus badly, portray Chinese Gandhis as some kind of heroes. All this requires changes on a war-footing. Patriots and nationalists are not born in colleges, they are born in primary schools. This is a vast topic affecting the country and will need a greater exercise in another post.

Article 370, 35A and UCC:

When the SC ruled Triple Talaq to be unlawful, ModiSarkar quickly jumped on it and passed a law banning it with some punishment. When the Bill failed in Parliament the GOI brought in an Ordinance. The SC has recommended UCC long back. The same energy needs to be shown in implementing UCC, either by a law or Ordinance. There would not a better mandate to do this in the future. When Muslims were allowed to stay in India at Partition, UCC should have been immediately implemented. There CANNOT be multiple laws for citizens of a country. Ban and outlaw the AIMPLB. This is an illegal organization that behaves like they are custodians of Muslim lives. They are not. Get rid of them.

The same goes for Article 370, 35A. Kashmir is not the property of some Abdullahs or Muftis who vehemently protest this. It’s a part of India and people should have the same Rights all over the country. Abolishing such foolishness of Nehru will bring about dramatic change in JK with investments, industries and job opportunities. The best way to keep youth away from radicalization and terrorism is gainful employment. If the moronic clan of Abdullahs and Muftis treat Kashmir as their “private fiefdom”, come down heavily on such anti-nationals who want to keep Kashmir as a hostage to national integration.

Most of the above actions are tough challenges without a doubt. But ModiSarkar has promised to act on these and have been given the mandate again. The toughest decisions are best taken in the first six months to one year of a new govt. The opposers and agitators can dance all they want and will dissipate in a few months. Shed the meekness and diffidence of ModiSarkar-1 on these issues. Social and national integration cannot be a political or vote-bank issue in the future.
