MIND YOUR VIEWS

Prologue : Recently there has been an uproar with people tweeting there out of or perhaps into a controversy. Also minister’s mingling in affairs of their colleagues. It led to a debate on fundamental right of speech and views.(Post is slightly on political side)

It all escalated with Tharoor and Modi’s counter-tweets. Tharoor like an educated elitist Indian was flaunting his verbal skills with ostentatious tweets to counter Modi. Modi was in his own right brainchild of million dollar IPL. Masked with proud of success, naively leaked out details of kochi franchise opening can of worms. Blurred with ego of being undisputed man, Lalit for a second looks like forgot slime crammed in his background. At the end it takes an enter button for world to glance his tweet. Finally it led to downfall of them.

Since when has our political parties moral standard elevated to such an altitude ? That they would sack a minister on gospel of his girl friend getting a sweat equity due to his alleged role of being mentor of a management. Has it not always been that ‘an allege is not guilty till proven in a court of law.’ We have parliamentary members and Chief Minister’s with allegations of murder, provocation of violence with hatred speeches and corruption charges ranging from thousand crores to recent Mr.Raja’s thumping 50,000 crore telecom scam against them. Truly, ministerial inappropriate seems to be a minute guilt amidst.

In fact it’s the Tharoor repeated righteous yet impolitic tweets on government policies led to his amateur demise. His tweets had embarrassed govt. but his close association with Ghandi’s saved him from facing the axe. IPL saga was just an icing on cake for those who were in hunt for beheading Tharoor.

Recently our high-flying environmental minister Mr.Ramesh did a Tharoor. Unlike Tharoor he didn’t tweet his way into trouble. Instead vehemently criticized home secretary policies over China on a foreign soil. When we couple these incidents with Digvijay Singh critical stand on tackling naxal malice or for that regard recent gag order on Gary Kirsten on India’s dismal performance in calypso.

One thing glooms despairingly, fundamental right of speech isn’t one to be taken for granted. Is it really so? It must be understood that people are obliged to authorities they are serving, be it Congress party, BCCI, etc. They have to galvanize their views as establishment believes. Public forum isn’t an arena to disclose one’s displeasure over state of affairs. One can’t run away by taunting blaringly and annoying their bosses. In realm scenario it’s neither politically nor professionally right. Opinionating is welcomed provided it’s done under closed quarters. If one can’t squat his views along the fences drawn, they are privileged to trod over them but then have to bear the brunt.

Suspiciously co-incident it might be but educated one’s have a candid habit of quoting controversies. It’s their arrogance of know it all or shrewd belief of thought but in India neither going to do them any good.
