India President a “rubber stamp”
The heading clearly describes the pain and anger of India against non acting Pratibha Patil, India’s so called President. Before starting, I would like to thank Members of Parliament and State legistation for electing the president as powerful and influential as Mrs. Pratibha Patil. BTW did you know that she is the President?
When Mr. Kalam was sworn in as President we saw hope, innovation, power and emergence of India domination. He set high standard for his successor. He was common man’s man. He was accessible. People wanted to be like him. We were proud to call “Abdul Kalam” as first citizen of India. How many times we saw people acting like Kalam, donning Kalam’s hairstyle. It was evident that people were proud of this man. He was a HERO. Infact he is. It wouldn’t be wrong to compare Mr Kalam with US President-elect Mr Obama.
On 25th July, 2007, Mrs. Pratibha Patil was sworn in as first women president of India. She won the contest by margin of over 300,000 votes. As I said earlier all thanks to MP and State Legistlation for unanimous decision. It is very clear now that we have so little talented pool of influential leaders in our country. For bio on Pratibha Patil, one can refer wiki.
Mumbai attack is over. Interrogation of captured terrorist are going on. People from all over the country are expressing their disappointment with India government. Celebrities, crickets, common man are pleading for justice. Everyone is writing and speaking on the terror attack. We want answers. We want condolence from the leading lady. Did we get any?? I dont think so. One small comment in TOI:
” Such acts are highly condemnable,” Patil, who is on a four-day visit to Vietnam, said in a statement. The President said she was confident that the authorities would bring the situation under control. She asked people to maintain calm and cooperate with authorities at this crucial moment.
Thank you President for you kind words. We didn’t expect more from you. When India was crying with fear, you were watching some CD on terrorism. You went to Andaman with dozen of your family members on our tax paying money. You supported your criminal brother and bring nation to shame. People refer to your conversations as “spirit of dead”. You forgot to salute our tri color in Mexico at a ceremony. We surely, didn’t expect you to take a lead and express our tears……. After all, we didn’t realize you were the President.
Ripley’s believe it or not: Pratibha Patil once said that she will not be the “rubber stamp” President!!
Mrs. President, we want a President who can erase the fear and stamp confidence in bleeding India.
Yes, if she were anything but the rubber stamp, she would take responsibility and resign. But you know what India’s political class is after !
There were many failures, small and big, enabling the attack.
It is just the ordinary havaldar’s bravery which caught the terrorist who is now in custody.
