ऐन दिवाळीच्या तोंडावर दिल्लीतल्या फटाक्यांच्या विक्रीवर न्यायालयानं लादलेल्या बंदीचा विषय चघळला जातोय. एक कार्यकर्ता आणि एक नागरीक म्हणुन काही प्रश्नांना उत्तरं द्यावीत म्हणुन लेखन प्रपंच! प्रश्न १) तु नाही का फटाके उडवत? - लहानपणा पासुन आजोबांचा अस्थमा मुळे आमच्याकडे फटाके उडवत नाहीत, पण आजोळी गेल्यावर दिवाळीच्या सुट्टीत आतीशबाजीचे कमी धुराचे काही आणि बक्कळ टिकल्या बंदुका उडवायचो. सण साजरा करताना विेवेकबुद्धी आणि तारतम्य महत्वाचं! प्रश्न २) कोर्ट फक्त हिंदु सणांवरच का भाष्य करतं, हा कोर्टाचा पक्षपात नाही का? - नाही! मुळात कोर्टाचे हात कायद्यांनं बांधलेले आहेत, कोर्टासमोर जर कोणी जनहीतार्थ याचिका दाखल केली (हिंदु सणांविरुद्धच जास्ती होतात हे मान्य!) आणि त्यात व्यवस्थित मुद्देसुतपणे पुराने मांडले तर त्यावर कोर्टाला निर्णय घ्यावाच लागतो! अन फटाक्यांमुळे प्रदुषण होत नाही असं कोणाला वाटत असेल तर त्याच्याइतका मुर्ख तोच! आणि मुळात आत्ता कार्टाच्या फटाके बंदीचा विरोध करणारे कोणी वैज्ञानिक पद्धतीनं सर्वेक्षण करुन ख्रिस्ती नववर्षाच्या फटाक्यांनी होणार्या प्रदुषणावर किंवा ईदच्या कत्तलींवर शोध निबंध लिहीत नाही की जनहीथार्थ याचिका दाखल करत नाही! ती केली पुरेसा (उपलब्ध असेलेलाच!) पुरावा मुद्देसुतपणे मांडला तर तेव्हा पण कोर्ट बंदी घालेल! मग हे संविधानीक मार्ग न अवलंबता केलेला हा असहकार वांझोटा नव्हे का? त्यामुळे हा कोर्टाचा पक्षपात नाही तर इतर सणांबाबत इतका अभ्यास करायला आपण सक्षम नाही असं मला वाटतं! प्रश्न ३) मग होळीचं काय?? - धार्मिक उदाहरण देतो ‘उमा बटु संवाद:’ मधे बटुचा वेश घेतला शंकर, पार्वतीला कठोर तपश्चर्येनं शरीराला ताण देवु नकोस असं सांगतो त्याचं वाक्य आहे की ‘शरीर हा माणसाचा पहीला धर्म आहे!’ मग शरीर धर्मासाठी आवश्यक शुद्ध हवा, पुरेशी संसाधनं मिळणार नसतील तर आपले सण साजरेकरायच्या पद्धतीत कालानुरुप बदल व्हायला नको का? मग ९-९ फुटाची होळी प्रत्येक चौका-चौकात दहन करण्यापेक्षा ४-४गौर्यांची घरासमोर केली तरी त्यात मनातल्या होलिकेचं दहन होतंच की! प्रश्न ४) मग रंगपंचमीचं काय? -ती सुद्धा कोरड्या रंगानंखेळलेलीच बरी! कारण पुन्हा अनेक गावांना प्यायला पाणी नसताना आपल्याला उपलब्ध आहे म्हणुन ते वाया घालवण्यात काय सण? (मी या रंगपंचमीलाच फक्त कोरडे रंग खेळणार असं निक्षुन सांगीतलेलं पण इतर खेळणार्यांनी ‘जाउदे रे कुठं कोण तुला विचारतंय म्हणुन भिजवलेलं!!) प्रश्न ५) समजा उद्या कोणा उपटसुंभानं आमच्या दहन विधींवर प्रश्न उपस्थित केला तर काय करायचं? - मला तर वाटतं यावर सर्वांनी सावरकरांचे शब्द स्मरावेत की काळाच्या ओघात ज्या प्रथेचं महत्व बदलेल ती प्रथाच बदललेली बरी!! मग दहन संस्कारासाठी विद्युतदाहीनी आहेच. (पण या अटीवर की तीच्यासाठी वापरली जाणारी विज ही अपारंपारीक संसाधनं वापरुन निर्मिलेली असावी!) प्रश्न ६) मग त्या इदच्या कुर्बान्या, ख्रिस्ती नववर्षाचे फटाके, ख्रिसमसचे फटाके त्याचं काय? - प्रत्यक्ष संपुर्ण बंदी साठीच हा प्रयत्न आहे पण आपला अट्टाहास आपल्या सणांची बदनामी करतोय, हे कुठेतरी थांबायला हवं! आणि मुळात ही बाजु फार लंबे डायलॅाग न देतां कुठल्याही धार्मिक भावना न डिवचता वैज्ञानीक तर्कांनी उभारली पाहीजे! उगा ते मुके प्राणी मारतात म्हणायला अर्थ नाही देवीला बकरा कापुन गावाला नैवेद्य आपल्यातही असतो! बंदी हवी असेल तर नीट मुद्देसुत बाजु मांडली पाहीजे नुसता अट्टाहास का करायचा की ख्रिस्ती नववर्षाच्या फटाक्यांवर बंदी घाला मग दिवाळीचं बघु? बंदी गेली चुलीत आमची परंपरा किंवा कोण कोर्ट आम्हाला सांगणार उलट १०००ची नाही आता ५०००ची लड लावतो हे चुकीचं नाही का? आपल्या या फोल अस्मितेपाई दिवाळीचं मांगल्य जातय!

Yesterday For whole evening or so mainstream media channel ran a story titled "शहीद कि बेटी पर सवाल क्यूं?", from the looks of it it seems a simple issue of a girl being targeted by Goons on social media, yet the reality is quite different. Gurmehar Kaur is a daughter of a martyr who a few days ago in a video she made, questioned the political will of Governments of two neighbouring nations to resolve the conflict between them which has been ongoing for at least 60 years. She got trolled on social media by trolls and all Media houses went haywire! Making Prime time rush, Portraying this to be a act of senseless cyber bullying of her! Commenting How her freedom of speech was being robbed and How martyrdom of her father was being questioned! but is that the case? Let us see, while everyone is high on the ruse of Gurmehar Kaur the underlying issue is being pushed out of public conscious and no one seems to care for that. well it all started when JNU Student and one of main accused of Sedition Charges in 9th Feb 2016 JNU Incident Umar Khalid was invited as a Speaker on a Panel at a event organised at Ramjas College in Delhi University's North Campus. The Student Union of Ramjas college opposed the Idea of Umar being any worthy of Inspiring Youth in right Direction and Opposed him addressing Students in Said event. ABVP stepped in supporting the stand of Student Union of Ramjas College against Umar. Protests were held in campus and as the strategy of left goes they started to gather saying how ethos of ohh so liberal campus of DU is being polluted! How free thought amngst student is being suppressed by ABVP! and to protest that they chanted the slogans of "आजादी" again (demanding Aazadi of kashmir and bastar) in Campus of Ramjas in presence of a Faculty which is seen again and again in a video. The Protesters turned violent when considering the objection of Students from Ramjas the event was canceled by authorities and in fallout of it activists from ABVP were beaten, Girls were thrashed & Molested, Stones were pelted and left blamed ABVP for this violence. Yet as no one can hide the rising sun, The truth came out as photo evidence showed SFI State President Attacking a protester along with several eyewitness records, proving Left goons Instigated the Violence. Lo and Behold the left was robbed of the opportunity of playing the victim. Enter Gurmehar, as she posted a Photo of her holding a placard saying she is not afraid of ABVP and every student in India was with her. Coupled with her previous video by Voice of Ram stating "Pakistan didn't kill my father War Did!" Gurmehar was Trolled on social media for her uneducated and narrow approach! again I don't support the rigorous trollin of her by netizens and I absolutely stand with her condemning all those goons who made Rape and Death threats at her! and yes as if yesterday ABVP has filed a complaint with authorities demanding through investigation and harsh action against these trolls! the Failure of Left to cash in on their Victim chip powered the rise of Gurmehar in public conscious. The gambit of Left seems to be working as NSUI the Left organizations all are trying to target ABVP over Gurmehar and the questions of Goondaism, Freedom of Speech, Personal Liberty and the Liberal ethos of campus are again being asked by Left as the fulcrum of Gurmehar has provided them with enough swing to turn the matter on its head! See the question of Umar being a speaker at a campus event id faded away and all we hear is how ABVP is endorsing Hooliganism in campus or how authorities are suppressing the voice of student i.e. Gurmehar yet No one asks the question of what Umar was going to inspire students in said event? Why Left is reluctant to discuss that? and is the ABVP's right to speak up against the event! the preposterous slogans of Aazadi! Faulty logic of Gurmehar saying even though Pak Invaded our nation they diden't killed her father! It's upto us now to stand up and stand tall above this smoke screen of lies, Come together and speak up against these so called Intellectual and Phoney advocates of Free speech that they are overstepping the line between Freedom of Expression and Sedition, Provoking Debate but are running from it! Twisting the facts and are milking the anti authoritarian sentiment of student using him as pawn! and Yes they should stop shifting the focus of debate from Umar to Gurmehar further politisizing the matter! The slogans calling out freedom of Kashmir echoed in JNU campus on evening 9th Feb at a ‘cultural’ (!?) Event organised by organisations like AISA, SFI, AISF and whole nation was shocked. I heard the news and started (I won’t say investigate) to read about the event. The more information I encountered more frustrated and enraged I am. The event was marketed as a cultural program where students from JNU gathered giving the dais to ‘Poets’, ‘Artists’ and so called free spirits who were special guest at this gathering. After this the event took a drastic turn, students stood there as if it was (I’m sure it was!) pre planned and started giving slogans against ABVP, I can understand that! But when they started shouting ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ & ‘Kashmir ki Aazadi tak, Desh ki Barbadi tak, Jang Chalegi’ and expressed to fulfil Afzal Guru’s Destily (Arman) making him and Maqbul Butt martyrs, I’m upset. I simply can’t see the logic behind actions of these students of so called rational ideology. JNU campus has always been a Power house of ‘Leftist Movement’. Their Ideological Differences with Nationalist student organisation ABVP are out in the open but slogans against Mother Nation are unacceptable. The antinational and Provocative activities like this were always been an integral part of Leftist Student Activism in JNU, But by their own standards (Which do include Beef Party in past & Protest against Swami Vivekananda Kendra Event) are new Low. The elite advocates of freedom (I’m Talking about you Mr. Kejriwal, Mr. Gandhi and All those who think ‘Democratic Ethos’ are being stooped upon) of speech of these students bring shame to word ‘Intellectual’ which has really lost its value in past months, but still they’ve managed to bring it at a new low! Those mooting about freedom of expression do forget that goons in JNU vowed keep fighting till they destroy Indian State, the very state build on Constitution and the constitution that provides Freedom of Speech! The shameless half baked arguments presented by them further show their incline away from the Spirit of our nation! Babbling again and again about unfair trial of Afzal Guru even each legal remedy, each legal option was exhausted by him is to divert the issue in another direction! Even glorifying death of mastermind, highjacker Maqbul Butt is another way of these opportunists to play victim card in front of the society and to get more ‘Comrades’ to march up behind them on the ‘Red’ path of Anarchy in the name of ‘Freedom of Expression’. As these guys paint the arrest of Kanhaiya Kumar as a threat to democratic ethos they fail to understand that these goons expressed to overthrow same Democracy!! While Rahul Gandi exclaims, "People who suppress the voice of this institution are anti-national." That just highlights the sheer lack of knowledge of him about our National Spirit!! As Arvind Kejriwal orders Magisterial probe for investigation his ambiguous stand makes it clear to me that both of Mr.Gandhi and Mr.Kejriwals intentions to politicize matter, against national pride to bake their bread and melt their butter!! Whatever the media, politicians, those ‘Red’ goons may have to say being a Indian Citizen I do have a fundamental right to condemn those who question the nation, It’s State and Oppose It’s very spirit the Constitution which integrates us as Anti-national. So I stand in protest supporting the crackdown of anti-national acts in JNU to restore Educational environment that promotes National Integration not separatism! Structure and respect not anarchy; Peace and harmony instead of violence and Terrorism! Naturally ABVP being organization of Students like me, feels the same way! and is protesting against the opportunistic grab of these half witted students to grab attention of media by stirring controversy and to propagate Anti-national activities to do so! So “On the ‘Red’ Dusk of ‘Terror’ for the ‘Dawn’ of Integrative and Patriotic atmosphere for education at JNU Here I Stand, The Youth In Revolt!!” |
