Election and political parties
Mr. Shahnoor Wahid is my favourite writer and I always try to read his writings published in DS magazines and post-editorials. Although a bit sarcastic, his presentation is unique in painting true pictures of a person, a group or a class of people or professionals of our society. His latest write-up published in DS on 4th of March is an example. I put here as it was "Those veteran election-mongers have gotten their best three-piece and designer pajama-kurta (politician brand) washed and ironed to go to the Election Commission (EC).
They have sniffed the hint of election in the air, like those seasonal migratory birds that can sniff winter in the air and know where to go when.”
He painted the true colour of our politicians. But one point is missing in his writings, their "desh prem"--patriotism. One group tries to stay in power at any cost to safeguard the sovereignty and image of the nation from the other group (the opposition), who are out to destroy them.
The losers will never accept the verdict of the people even if the election is free, fair and credible. They have already started speaking ills of others just to mislead people. Their supporters have already started raising their voices and saying "their leaders are fuler moto pabitra" and cases against them are politically motivated.
