RESULT OF THE REFERENDUM ON THE INSULT OF MOTHER

RAJIV NAYANN AGRAWAL

ARA--------------------------Whenever there is a loss of religion, there are incarnations. This time the incarnations themselves have come to destroy religion. They have to establish a new religion. That religion is dominated by oppression, not kindness. There is a lot of meanness, not compassion. There is a lot of meanness, not forgiveness. When instead of ‘with everyone’, the magic of ‘whoever wants to do something, let them do it’ is being used, then the same thing happens which is happening in the courtyard of Mother India today.

The flame of the lamp of politics is flaring with full force before it is extinguished. Fearful of Bihar, Narendra Modi has put everything at stake. Not unemployment, not inflation, not vote-stealing; abusing the mother is his biggest issue for the upcoming elections in Bihar. During Rahul Gandhi's Vote-Rights Yatra, a pickup van driver from the stage built to welcome Tejashwi Yadav and Rahul, allegedly raised a slogan which sounded like an insult to the late mother of the Prime Minister.

At that time, neither Rahul was on that stage, nor Tejashwi, nor any other responsible leader of Congress-RJD. But Narendra Bhai just needs an opportunity. As soon as he returned from abroad, Narendra Bhai inaugurated the State Jeevika Nidhi Credit Cooperative Federation of Bihar through video conference, and out of his fifty-minute speech, he devoted the first thirty minutes to 'abusing the mother'. He forgot that the occasion was the inauguration of an institution that provides loans to the rural women of Bihar through digital medium at cheap interest and even though a budget of only Rs 105 crore has been kept for this work, but in view of the assembly elections to be held in November in Bihar, this initiative also holds some importance, so let's talk about that first. But Narendra Bhai knows that the loans will keep coming and going, but he will not get a better opportunity than this to attack his electoral opponents in Bihar using the excuse of insulting his mother. So, he put all his talent into disturbing the sleep of the alleged 'abuse scandal' that had been sleeping for the last five days. He repeatedly said that this is an insult to the women of Bihar. But he did not tell why this insult is only of the women of Bihar? Has the respect of the women of the rest of the country increased because of this? Does such an incident, if it has really happened, only insult the women of those states where elections are about to be held? Narendra Bhai must have thought that after listening to his tale of woe, the voters of Bihar will fill his bag with votes. But this bamboo went towards Bareilly instead. People in every corner of Bihar got busy watching those old videos of Narendra Bhai on their mobile phones, in which he had said all sorts of things about God knows whose mothers. Various questions started arising. People started asking whether only the Prime Minister's mother is respected? No one's mother should be insulted. The call for Bihar Bandh to protect the respect of Narendra Bhai's mother was also shattered in this affair. Despite the lathi-charge, people were not ready to close their business even for a day.

I believe that whoever has used derogatory words for Narendra Bhai's late mother should not be spared. But I also believe that the extreme approach of saying that this incident happened at the behest of Rahul-Tejaswi or Congress-RJD should also be condemned. I feel that the respect of the Prime Minister's respected mother did not diminish as much due to an extremely rude incident that allegedly happened on a platform, but the politicization of this issue did. What was the need to hold such a referendum for your mother, which resulted in questions being raised about your own past conduct instead of unanimous condemnation of the incident? This is what happened, isn't it? People unanimously said that the use of derogatory words for the Prime Minister's mother was wrong, but asked with equal unanimity what about the kind of words the Prime Minister used from time to time for the mothers of others? So what was the need to throw such a stone that the splashes fly and stick to your face?

But if Narendra Bhai does not make a mountain out of a molehill, then what kind of Narendra Bhai is he? He enjoys nothing as much as he enjoys making a mountain out of a molehill. Now imagine that the Prime Minister of India is addressing a completely government program of the Rural Development Ministry of the Government of Bihar and from that stage he is chanting 'Meri Maa ko gaali de di- meri maa ko gaali de di'. From the stage of a government inauguration ceremony, he is making personal attacks on his rival political parties and their leaders. He is standing on the state platform but is giving a fiery election speech. Those who want to shamelessly support this indecent conduct of the people sitting on the highest constitutional posts, let them do so, my heart does not allow me to do so.

The real issue is that why was there no such vulgarity in our public discourse till 10-15 years ago and what has happened in this one and a half decade that we have fallen to the lowest level of bad habits? Which are those elements, which are those powers, which is that thinking, which has spread so much poison in our society? The thing to think about is that who are those who have encouraged this tendency? Who are those who have promoted this vulgarity in our social lives? If you look at it dispassionately, you will know who is responsible for today's extremely bad environment?

The days of 'As is the people, so is the king' are gone. Now who cares about the people? Nowadays, as These are the days of ‘king and subjects’. If the other melons in the basket are changing their colour on seeing the chief melon, then what is their fault in this? The guilty one is Zilla-e-Subhani. But he is not born to see his own shortcomings. He has taken birth to correct all the others. Whenever there is any harm to religion, incarnations take place. This time the incarnations have come to harm religion themselves. They have to establish a new religion. That religion is dominated by oppression, not kindness. There is a lot of meanness, not compassion. There is a lot of meanness, not forgiveness. When instead of ‘with everyone’, the magic of ‘whoever wants to do something, can do it’ is being used, then the same thing happens which is happening in the courtyard of Mother India today.

Nasti Matrisama Chhaya, Naasti Matrisama Gati: There is no better shadow than the shadow of a mother, there is no better support than the support of a mother. I thought that this thing written in our scriptures contains the seed-mantra of our eternal culture. I did not know that in this life I will have to face faces drenched in the desire to climb the political ladder by taking the support of a mother. May God protect me!
