कांग्रेस का बयानवीर

आज कांग्रेस के महासचिव और दस साल तक मध्यप्रदेश के मुख्यमंत्री रहे दिग्विजय सिंह उर्फ़ दिग्गीराजा ने प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी के लिए सोशल मीडिया पर अपशब्दों का प्रयोग किया है | यह कोई पहली बार नहीं किया है इससे पहले भी दिग्विजय सिंह कई बार विवादित बयान दे चुके है | वो पाकिस्तान के कुख्यात आतंकवादी हाफिज सईद को “साहब ” बोल चुके है, मुंबई के  दिवंगत पुलिस अधिकारी हेमंत करकरे के हवाले से यह कह चुके है की उनको चरमपंथी हिन्दू आतंकवादियो से खतरा है , बटाला एनकाउंटर को फर्जी करार दे चुके है और अपनी पार्टी की ही महिला नेता को “टंच माल” बोल चुके है |

कांग्रेस के नेताओ के द्वारा प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी पर यह कोई पहला हमला नहीं है इससे पहले कांग्रेस की अध्यक्ष सोनिया गाँधी ने कहा था की नरेंद्र मोदी मौत के सौदागर है , वो जहर की खेती करते है| यही नहीं कांग्रेस की उपाध्यक्ष  राहुल गाँधी ने भी सर्जिकल स्ट्राइक के बाद खून का  दलाल भी बता डाला था था |

 यह और कुछ नहीं बस कांग्रेस का राजनैतिक दिवालियापन है | देश के हर भाग में चुनाव हारने के कारण कांग्रेस के नेताओ में आपस में एक तरह की प्रतिस्पर्धा जैसी है कि कौन नेता अपने बयानों से नरेंद्र मोदी पर कितना हमला कर सकता है |

दिग्विजय सिंह अपने बयानों के आलावा अपने कार्यो से भी देश को कई बार शर्मिंदा कर चुके है| उनकी पहली पत्नी के जिन्दा रहते ही उनका अफेयर राज्यसभा टीवी की पत्रकार अमृता राय के साथ चल रहा था और जब उनसे इस बारे में पत्रकारों ने पूछा तो पहले तो उन्होंने उक्त रिपोर्टर से कोई सम्बन्ध होना स्वीकार नहीं किया लेकिन शाम को जब आम्रता ने अपनी फेसबुक वाल पर दिग्विजय और अपनी एक तस्वीर साझा की जिसमे दिग्विजय अम्रता के साथ आपत्तिजनक मुद्रा में थे तो उन्होंने फिर अपने रिश्ते को स्वीकार कर लिया |

 मई २०१४ के बाद से जब से देश में नरेन्द्र मोदी की पूर्ण बहुमत की सरकार बनी है और उसके बाद उन्होंने जिस प्रकार अपने आप को एक वैश्विक नेता के रूप में स्थापित किया है, कांग्रेस के नेतृत्व को यह प्रतीत हो रहा है कि मोदी की पार्टी ने देश की सत्ता पर अपनी जड़ें गहरी जमा लि है और देश की जनता भी उनको एक सर्वमान्य नेता के तौर पर स्वीकार कर चुकी है |

कांग्रेस का यही डर एक वजह है जिसके कारण इनके नेता एक के बाद एक हमले कर रहे है | ऐसा इसलिए भी हो रहा है क्योंकि बीजेपी को हिन्दुओं की पार्टी माना जाता है और इस बार के आम चुनावो ने जिस तरह यह साफ कर दिया कि हिन्दू अपने हितो की रक्षा करने वाले दल को ही वोट करेगा, कांग्रेस जिसका मिशन ही है की फूट डालो और राज करो आज के इस परिवेश में अपने को एक दरकिनार की हुयी पार्टी समझ रही है |

लेकिन आज के समय में जब देश का जायदातर वोटर युवा है और विभिन्न माध्यमो से सोशल मिडिया से जुड़ा

हुआ है , देश में कब क्या हो रहा है इसकी पल-पल की जानकारी उसके पास है ऐसे में अगर दिग्विजय जैसे नेता जब एक मेहनती प्रधानमंत्री पर हमले करते है तो वो किसी भी तरह से ना तो अपने वोट बैंक को बदा रहे है और ना ही अपने परम्परागत वोट बैंक को ही सुरक्षित रख पा रहे है | इस तरह के हमलो पर प्रधानमंत्री द्वारा जवाब न दिया जाना ना सिर्फ उनके बड़े कद को दिखाता है बल्कि देश की जनता यह भी समझ रही है कि देश का वास्तव में भला कौन चाहता है यह लोग जो मीडिया में उलटे सीधे बयानबाजी करने वाले लोग या फिर बिना थके देश की सेवा करने वाले देश के प्रधान मंत्री नरेन्द्र मोदी| 

Murder of anti BJP reporter

आज गौरी लंकेश नाम की एक महिला पत्रकार की हत्या कर दी गयी | ये बहुत अफ़सोसजनक है और किसी की भी इस तरह से हत्या नहीं होनी चाहिए | लेकिन गौरी लंकेश की हत्या ने देश में एक बार फिर से “हिन्दू आतंकवाद ” पर बहस छेंड दी है, कहा जा रहा है की गौरी लंकेश की हत्या “कट्टर हिंदूवादी संगठनों” ने की है |
गौरी लंकेश एक वामपंथी विचारधारा की पत्रकार थी और हिंदुत्व के बारे में उनके विचार बहुत अच्छे नहीं थे | लेकिन क्या मात्र इतनी सी बात से हिन्दू संगठन उनकी हत्या कर देंगे ?? यह एक बड़ा सवाल है क्योंकि देश में ऐसे बहुत सारे लोग है जो की हिन्दू धर्म और हिंदुत्व से इतनी नफरत करते है कि ये लोग अगर किसी अन्य मुस्लिम देश में होते तो जरुर इनकी हत्या कर दी जाती | देश में जाकिर नाइक, मौलाना बरकती , इमाम बुखारी , हुर्रियत कांफ्रेस , फारुख अब्दुल्ला , राना आयूब और ऐसे ही ना जाने कितने ही लोग है जो दिनरात सिर्फ हिंदुत्व विचारधारा का विरोध करके ही अपनी राजनितिक रोटियां सेंकते रहते है | अगर हिन्दू इतना ही असहिष्णु है तो फिर इन लोगो को तो कब का मार चूका होता, या फिर अगर नरेंद्र मोदी सरकार ऐसे लोगो की आवाज बंद करना चाहती तो उसके पास तमाम ऐसे रस्ते होते हैं जिससे कि ऐसे लोगो की आवाज को खामोश किया जा सकता था |
उदहारण के तौर पर हम चीन की सरकार को ही देख सकते है | चीन की मिडिया से वही जानकारियां बाहर निकलती है जो वहां की सरकार बाहर निकलने देना चाहती है|

इस देश की राजनीती की यह विडंबना ही है कि यहाँ जब भी किसी वामपंथी या कांग्रेसी विचारधारा के व्यक्ति की हत्या होती है या हिन्दुधर्म के अलावा किसी और धर्म के व्यक्ति की हत्या होती है तो उसको भगवा आतंकवाद के तौर पर परिभाषित किया जाता है और कहा जाता है कि देश में “
अल्पसंख्यक ” समुदाय को खतरा है |
देश के तथाकथित युवानेता और कांग्रेस के युवराज सीधेतौर पर देश की हर छोटी बड़ी घटना के लिए प्रधानमंत्री नरेन्द्र मोदी को जिम्मेदार ठहरा देते है भले ही जिस राज्य में ये घटना घटी है वहां पर कांग्रेस की ही सरकार हो |
यही नहीं कांग्रेस की अध्यक्ष सोनिया गाँधी ने इन्तोलेरेंस का मुद्दा फिर से उठा दिया और कहा की हमारी सरकार के समय में ऐसी कोई घटना नहीं हुई है लेकिन २०१४ में मोदी सरकार के गठन के साथ ही देश में एक वर्ग विशेष के लिए मुश्किलें खड़ी की जा रही है और स्वतंत्र आवाजों को दबाया जा रहा है |
इन सभी लोगो को देश में बढ़ रहे हिन्दू आतंकवाद का खतरा तो दिखाई दे रहा है लेकिन पूरे विश्व में पनप रहे मुस्लिम आतंकवाद का धर्म पता नहीं चल पा रहा है | ये वही लोग है जो बिहार में पत्रकार राजदेव रंजन के हत्यारोपी शहाबुद्दीन के साथ मंच साझा करते है लालू यादव को सेकुलरिज्म का झंडाबरदार बताते है और एक वामपंथी विचारधारा की पत्रकार की हत्या का इल्जाम सीधे सीधे बीजेपी और संघ पर लगा देते है लेकिन तब इनके कान और आंख बंद हो जाती है जब कश्मीर के नेता फारुख अब्दुल्ला यह कहते है कि पाक अधिकृत कश्मीर क्या हिंदुस्तान के बाप का है| ये वही लोग है जो याकूब मेनन की फांसी की सजा को रुकवाने के लिए रात के २ बजे देश की सबसे बड़ी अदालत को खुलवा देते है और भारत तेरे टुकड़े होंगे इंशा अल्लाह का नारा लगाने वाले लोगो की दिन रात पैरवी करते है |

अब समय आ गया है की देश के लोग नेताओ की दोगली राजनीती को पहचाने और चुनाव के समय इनको ऐसा सबक सिखाये की फिर से किसी देश के टुकड़े करने वाले या फिर देश की संप्रभुता को चुनौती देने वाले के साथ खड़े होने की हिम्मत ना कर सके |

सेना प्रमुख पर कांग्रेस का हमला

खान्ग्रेस समेत पूरा बिपक्ष *अल्पसंख्यक* वोटो के लिए अपनी सगी माँ को बेच सकते हैं तो उनके लिए भारत माता के वीर सैनिको की जान क्या औकात है तभी तो सेना प्रमुख के इस बयान की आलोचना कर रहे हैं कि कश्मीर के स्थानीय मुस्लिम युवक सेना के काम में दखलंदाजी न करे । अब इस बात में गलत क्या है?? क्या ऐसा नहीं होता है? क्या जब सेना किसी आतंकवादी को घेरने का प्रयास करती है तो युवक पत्थर फेंकते हैं और कई बार आतंकवादी भाग जाते हैं और कई बार इसी वजह से सेना के कई जवान भी मरे जाते हैं।

यह बयान एक जिम्मेदारी से योग्यता के साथ सेना के प्रमुख तक पहुंचे जनरल ने  दिया है बीजेपी के किसी राज्य सभा के किसी सांसद ने नहीं दिया है। सेना का जनरल किसी जाति या धर्म के खिलाफ कभी कदम नहीं उठा सकता क्योंकि सेना में हर जाति और धर्म के लोग काम करते हैं कश्मीर के ही बहुत से मुस्लिम सैनिक भी सेना में काम करते हैं और आतंकवादी हमलों  में मारे भी जाते हैं। सेना प्रमुख जब यह कहते हैं कि कश्मीर के लोग सेना के काम में हस्तक्षेप ना करे तो वो उन मुस्लिम सैनिको की जान की परवाह भी कर रहे होते हैं जो सेना में काम करते हैं और कश्मीर में तैनात हैं। आज जिन लोगो की वजह से अल्पसंख्यको में गरीबी और अशिक्षा भरी पड़ी है वही लोग सेना प्रमुख के इस बयान का विरोध करते नजर आ रहे हैं।

the other side of democracy of india in Rajasthan

The other side of democracy of India

Police officials went behemoth, low closed its eyes

With heavy boozing and fogging police officers tortured four innocent youth with the army men.

The top management and different commissions are planning to change the face of police deportment more public friendly and pro people with the time using force from their head to tale. In this process there are many new acts came in to existence to turn the police as the worker of the innocent public and a fear factor for the criminals, but there are so many incidents happening daily with this deportment which clearly provides a simple message to the common people that they are not going free from the fear of these govt.’s official criminals in near future.

On the 7^th April 2008 what ever happened in the Balesar police station of Jodhpur district in the presence of Dy. Superintendent of police Mr. Devendra Sharma and other police officials, denotes that police deportment is in no mood to change itself.

This incident took place when soldiers of a mobile military canteen informed the police that, the money of the sales have been stolen by some one. The police without any investigation picked up four innocent college students from their homes and beaten them brutally in the police station for whole night and in next day the morning thrown them in their village without any medical assistance.

When we look in to the matter of theft, soldiers are them self come in to circle of suspicion. No FIR of theft lodged in any police station and the money which was stolen found in the very backyard of the military canteen. But still police officers jokingly played with the law in the very presence of military officers too.

Rajuram S/O Pratapram, Jetharam S/O Pratapram, Ramesh S/O Tejpal and Dhannaram S/O Ramchandra, all resident of Agolai village of Jodhpur district and a main bus stand on Jodhpur Jaisalmer Highway, faced third degree of police torture at Balesar Police station.

Dy. S.P Devendra Sharma, Constable Mnohar Singh , constable Sohan Singh, Constable Baburam, Constable Rajendra Kumar, Cornel Guneet Singh 204 Armed Battalion, Deputy Subedar 204 Battalion armed Ram Bhavan and constable Tejpal 204 armed battalion and some other soldiers of the same battalions very knowingly implied third degree torture on these four village youth, which is even banned for hardcore criminals.

The police officers and military men hanged these you boys by legs, tide their hands and legs and then beaten them with sticks (Danda) and belts (Patta), they even not allowed them to drink water. One boy got unconscious, then police sprayed water on the face and when he become conscious, they again beaten him, one boy urine in his pants, even then the police never stopped.

This is not an accident done by some lower class police man but a R.P.S officer who reached at Balesar police station, drunk fully, has a bottle of wine in one hand and a gloss full of wine in other hand, the youth told that Bade Shahab (Dy. S.P.) was drinking wine and after finishing one pag, he made another and in bet been beating to these youths. One of the constable brought “Afeem” (opium) and he offered it to every one, and every one had it.

Meanwhile the family member’s gathered out of the police station and they all were crying and weeping, inside the police station these young boys were cry and asking for pity.

The family members of these youths bowed on the feet of these police men to have mercy on their children but the police men thrown them out and never allowed them to meet to these youths.

One of the victim of this mishap Rajuram was student of Jai Narayan University Jodhpur and he has to appear in the examination in the next day, but these official criminals sent him to hospital instead of the examination hall.

In the same night at three o’ clock in the morning Dy. S.P devendra Sharma arrived in the Agolai Village at Pratap Ram’s and with out any search warrant he searched his house and thrown all the pots and other things in the courtyard. Not only this, these officers abused women of the family. The officer brought Rajuram along with him, when family members tried to offer water to Rajuram one of the policemen snatched the pot of water and thrown it away.

Next day morning when family members of the victims, brought them to govt. hospital for the cure, the doctors of the hospital deniyed to cure, when some social activist interfere in the matter then only the doctors admitted them in the hospital and provided them some medication, but without much cure, the doctors relived them from hospital and even did not perform the medical checkup.

When activists of Dalit Adhikar Network approached higher officials and made pressure on them, even then no FIR lodged against any police men or military officers, only two constables sent to police line and no other action was taken against any one.

This entire drama of police and military cruelty absolutely raised some questions like

Why the FIR of the matter is not lodged in any Police station?

With out any FIR and warrant why these boys arrested and how?

Why these youths kept in police lock up with out any entry any where?

Why without any reasons these youth were beaten brutally?

These questions raised some critical issues which should be tackled at larger levels. The police officers who are responsible for the security of the common innocent people and if these officers are behaving so brutally to the common people and escaped clean

Who is the responsible for these non responsible officers in a democracy of India?
