Is it all necessary? Is it graceful?
In a democracy as vibrant as India, there
are bound to be many-many persons/groups who can't remain neutral. There is nothing
wrong in supporting or opposing a person or a group. That is how democracy
works. Unless there is exchange of different ideas, nobody can find out what is
good or bad with present government.
During last general election, Social Media
was used full to its potential by the supports of Modi, BJP, Sonia Gandhi,
Rahul Gandhi, Congress and likewise. There were claims, counter claims,
allegations, replies to allegation by the supporters of different groups and
persons. However Modi supporters were more vocal & they won Social Media
war, if you choose to call it war, along with Modi and BJP coming to power with
majority.
Ideally, this Social media war should have
ended after the election, but it seems that some Modi supporters are still in
election mode and keep attacking Sonia & company whereas there is no use in
doing so because they have conceded the defeat. Furthermore, Congress does not
seem to be in mood and race in upcoming assembly elections.
In the same way, Modi opposers should have
accepted the defeat gracefully and keep themselves away from personal criticism
of Narendra Modi who is Prime Minister of India now. But is it their fault? May
be or may not be. Perhaps they have taken lessons from Modi supporters to keep
attacking on Modi at personal front. Fair or unfair does not matter to them.
They are copying Modi's supporters style, hence lack in originality.
Modi is an honest, hardworking, hard
taskmaster and above all he has India & only India in his heart. As his
opposers have nothing concrete against him, so they are opposing him just for
opposition sack. Sometimes they call him Paridhan Mantri, sometimes find faults
in his pronunciation, sometimes his fallacy in taking correct names or his love
for publicity.
Same way, Modi supporters are still
calling Gandhi family names by repeating the same old stories about Nehru ji,
Indira Gandhi, Rajiv, Sonia, Rahul Gandhi. Sometimes they take on Priyanka
Vadra too.
Is it all necessary? Is it graceful?
There is no harm in criticism
as criticism is core of a democracy. If a government can't take
criticism sportingly, if a government can't find real reason of
just criticism, it is bound fail or turn into a tyrant government like
Indira Gandhi's government.
At the same time, if opposition goes on
criticizing each and every move of the government and its ministers including
Prime Minister, it is going to loose the sharpness & effectiveness of the
criticism.
Hence for sack of India, let us stop
personal and unnecessary criticism now but keep on criticizing present
government with the sole purpose of improving its policies.
Can we do it?
