While I am like every other Indian feeling so proud of the
milestone achieved by the team at Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) for
setting a record of creating history by becoming the first country in the world
for entering the Mars orbit at its maiden attempt, I am at the same time deeply
saddened looking at our political parties on creating nuances and drama about
which party should be given the credit and looking at the cat fights between
the activists of BJP and Congress. I watched the show on Timesnow last evening
and felt so very ashamed to see two well-known activists fighting like cats and
dogs over why the Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not mention former PM
Manmohan Singh’s name in the courtesy list. For heaven sake why should be there
such kind of talks?
Along with me, I believe every sensible citizen of India
must be surprised at this ridiculous act and mindset of these people. For when
the entire nation should unite and rejoice the victory of the scientists and
swell with pride, these good for nothing people come forward to seek attention
and verbalize all nonsense just to make their presence felt and make points
which are seamlessly irrelevant. My opinion and words could be brutal but this
is the frustration that is bound to be shown.
The real leader is not the one who divides but the one who
brings people together, one who doesn’t fight to get the credit but the one who
ensures that the mission is accomplished giving no importance to who gets the
credit, because action speaks louder than words and empty vessels always make
more noise. So, you politicians for today you are not our heros, our heros
are those who worked day and night to make this possible with stringent budgets
and worked against many odds. They inspire us and motivate us to think and
achieve which seems impossible. Moreover, to see the flip side I think it is
good that you behaved the way you did, because it is an eye opener for us the
citizens to know how injudicious and imprudent our politicians are who are not
worth being at the position where they are.
