Respectful Prime Minister Narendra Modi – Vanakkam.
I am a black-shirt clad public servant in a renowned movement – the Dravidar Kazhagam (DK). I may please remind you that I was arrested under the Maintenance of Internal Security Act (MISA) and remained dumped in a dark cell for one full year. I endured physical torture and came out with a pain for a life-time.The wounds have healed but the scar remains. During the same period, you were able to escape imprisonment under the same Act. You were accused under look-out notice. You were going around disguised as a Sikh for some-time and as a Muslim for some-time. You have confessed this truth in your book “Sangarshma Gujarat” (Gujarat in a strife) and admitted that you had escaped arrest.This open letter of mine is meant to seek your answers for a chain of questions. Shall we expect your explanations in response?
* From 2014 to 2024 you have been ruling for two consecutive terms headed by your BJP and backed by the RSS. You are bent upon capturing the rule for the third term now, with the powers of all sorts. Had you fulfilled your electoral guarantees of 2014 and 2019, you might have sought the mandate of people highlighting that fulfilment but your voice now makes one believe that your objective is to form a unitary rule annihilating all the States. And this is obviously because you have fulfilled none of your past promises. Would you admit that they were all deceptive guarantees?
* You had guaranteed jobs for 2 crore youth every year. As per that assurance, in your ten – year rule so far, 20 crore youngsters should have got placement. Has it happened? You had blamed the Congress for unemployment problem and promised to eradicate the menace. Have you done it Mr. Prime Minister?
* Our Constitution assures the people a democratic republic with sovereignty, equality and secularism. Have you not completely ignored all those noble adumbrations during your 10 – year long rule so far? Is not your only mission, establishing again a dictatorial rule for the third consecutive term, Mr. Prime Minister? Can you deny that your BJP headed rule has been anti-people all these ten years?
* You had promised implementing Minimum Support Price (MSP) for our farmers; revoking all the 48000 cases pending against them and punishing culprits who caused the death of farmers. Did you redress the grievance of the farmers, Mr. Prime Minister? The protesting farmers were silenced by firing orders and tear gas torture. You failed to wipe their tears. Was it not a breach of trust they had reposed in you?
Our other queries are in brief, as follows:
* The word “Secularism” is adumbrated in the Preamble of Constitution. During the Republic day celebration on 26th January 2016, you had wilfully avoided that word on the placards and advertisements. Was it not an act of belittling the Constitution?
* During the protest of the farmers of various states, their transport facility was seized; phone connections were cut and iron barricades were placed to prevent their mobility. Was it not denial of their fundamental rights?
* The MGNRES Scheme was ineffectively implemented affecting the livelihood of many and mostly women below poverty line. Was it not a social injustice?
* Why were all the Bills passed in haste without proper debates and discussions in both the Houses of our Parliament?
*You have never met media personnel during your ten – year long rule. Is it to be treated as an achievement? Did you ever directly answer the query of any of the Parliament members?
* You were reluctant even in the appointment of High Court and Supreme Court judges. The apex court called your appointments – “Selective appointment” and “Pick and choose” appointment. Were you fair in this regard Mr.Prime Minister?
* Why did the Election Commissioner demit office hastily? What sort of a mystery was his exit?
* Why was there bias and partiality in the allotment of symbols to candidates, contesting 2024 election? Many of such candidates are opposing your regime.
* The abrogation of Kashmir Act (Art.370); the Common Civil law and your participation and patronage as Prime Minister in the sonstruction and Consecration of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya were all against Constitution adumbrations, weren’t they?
* If you treat the entire 140 crore population of India as “the Modi family”, how is it that the State is offered only 29 paise out of every rupee in GST revenue to Tamil Nadu? Is it not denial of the rights of States?
* Why is it that we do not find even one Muslim Minister in the Union Cabinet?
* When would the Women’s reservation Bill, enacted be implemented? Is it a ‘sugar coated toxic biscuit’ to numb the spirits of women folk?
* You declare that the entire Indians are your family.
* Why have you never called on the Manipur riot victims till this date? Did you ever attempt to pacify them?
* Why were the culprits who molested the scheduled tribe girl allowed to go scot free?
* Why have you been harshly criticising the Government of Tamil Nadu, headed by Thiru. M.K. Stalin? You have always been glorifying Sanskrit and neglecting Tamil language, haven’t you?
* When we expect profound humanism in the Prime Minister, we are accused as divisive forces. Is it not an injustice? Are people who stress that “Everything is for everyone”, divisive forces?
* When Tamil Nadu was devastated last year by inclement rainfall and floods unprecedented in the last 146 years, were you not indifferent to our people during such natural disaster?
* You spoke much about eradication of corruption, ‘Amrit Kal for India’ etc; — was it accomplished?
* By bringing out the enormous black money you ‘Guaranteed’ deposit of Rs.15 lakh in the account of every Indian. Was this promise kept Mr. Prime Minister?
* There has been large scale corruption in almost every ministry and department. Did you bother to annihilate it?
* You called your self “Vishwa Guru” but were always a “muted-Guru”. Did it not prove that you had no answer to offer?
* Rs.8,250 crore worth of electoral bonds were donated by big corporates to the BJP in quid pro quo as per reliable reports. Was it fair, Mr.Prime Minister?
* Nearly Rs.7.5 lakh crore has been exploited by the BJP headed rule in laying of roads, tollgate scandal, Ayushman scheme, Ayodhya temple scheme and misuse of pension funds. Shall we expect your explanations, Mr. Prime Minister?
* The entire electoral bond scheme and the donations acquired by the BJP headed rule are shrouded in mystery. Would you unravel it Mr. Prime Minister?
* Sudden slashing of the price of gas cylinder is like the last straw on the back of a camel. Is it not a hood-winking ploy?
* Business magnates and corporate giants are being shown unjust favours. The common public lies neglected. The suffering people have not been shown pity or mercy. Is this humanism, Mr. Prime Minister? Our people in Tamil Nadu have not got so far even lip-sympathy from you at the time of massive natural disasters. Is this social justice?
* Privatisation of public sector undertakings has been going on generously. Is this a fair treatment to “your family of 140 crore people?”
* You had no sympathy for people of Chennai, Tuticorin and Thirunelveli in Tamil Nadu who suffered untold miseries. And yet, you are dreaming of capturing the rule in Tamil Nadu. Does it seem to be fair on your part, Mr. Prime Minister?
* Would you deny that you grabbed power in 2014 and 2019 by securing only 37 per cent votes? Your victory was sheer poll-gimmick. Was it not Mr.Prime Minister?
* You have thrown overboard the Sethu Samudram Canal Project too. Is it not an injustice?
* We have nothing personal against Mr. Modi as an individual. This open letter is an outlet of our grievances. We are only against your mal administration and mismanagement of powers. Please treat it as the voice of multitude of Indians immersed in agony and grief.
Yours Humanly
