Letter To President Of India
Smt. Pratibha Patil
President of India
Rashtrapati Bhavan,
New Delhi,
India.
Honorable Smt. Pratibha Patil:
This is to express our vehement condemnation of the merciless use of
force on more than a hundred thousand Indian citizens including women
and children who were unarmed, sleeping, fasting and exercising only
their constitutional democratic rights to draw attention of Government
of India by peaceful means to skyrocketing plundering and widespread
corruption, during the “Satyagraha” against corruption on Ram Lila
grounds in New Delhi on June 4th 2011.
The brutality of the police revisited the atrocities committed by
British colonial rulers and emergency rule of Mrs. Indira Gandhi
during 1975, which many of us have personally experienced and heard
from our parents. Innocent, peaceful Satyagrahis assembled were tear-
gassed, beaten up in lathi-charge and trampled by thousands of violent
policemen under order from the UPA government.
The state-sponsored violence in a closed compound could have even led
to an uncontrollable stampede resulting in the loss of an enormous
numbers of innocent lives. This cannot be Democratic India; this
cannot be Mahatma Gandhi’s India; this is not India governed by rule
of law and a democratic constitution, ensuring the fundamental rights
of all citizens for assembly and peaceful protest and demonstration.
These events have left the people of Indian origin around the globe,
particularly here in the USA, shocked and horror-stricken. We are
thoroughly embarrassed for our native land, asking in disbelief what
indeed is the difference between Indian democracy under UPA leadership
and the Chinese dictatorial system, where no peaceful demonstration is
allowed and any legitimate criticism against the ruling Communist
Party is crushed with brutal violence as in Tiananmen Square.
The irresponsible, callous, fascist and totalitarian attitude of the
UPA government is evident from the fact that neither the UPA
Chairperson Mrs. Sonia Gandhi nor Prime Minister Mr. Manmohan Singh
considers it necessary to provide an explanation and extend an apology
to the nation. The prime minister even made a ridiculous statement
that there was no other way except use of violence, near the samadhi
of Mahatma Gandhi himself – a global beacon of non-violence.
This display of naked power clearly appears to be yet another attempt
to crush the ever-increasing strength of anti-corruption movements by
the masses all over India, unfortunately implying UPA government
intense desire to preserve the culture of corruption among their own
political ranks and within the thoroughly corrupt bureaucracy they
control. These were the actions of people who do not believe in either
human rights for their citizens, freedom of speech guaranteed by the
Indian Constitution or Indian values.
This is a serious threat to the fundamental rights of our brothers and
sisters in India. The entire Diaspora around the globe as NRI, PIO and
responsible Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) unequivocally condemn
this act by the Government of India. We are convinced now more than
ever as to why the UPA government is trying to brutally crush any and
all peaceful anti-corruption movements. Irrespective of our political
affiliation, we are totally united in expressing our disgust and anger
against unconstitutional violation of democracy and human rights.
Sreemati Patil, as the President of India you have the constitutional
duty to uphold democratic norms guaranteeing the freedom and
inalienable right of all Indian citizens for peaceful assembly and
protest, and also to dismiss a corrupt government which has clearly
exhibited no desire to curb rampant corruption and hence lost all
moral authority to govern the country. We fervently hope that you will
restore freedom, human rights and democratic rights of the citizens by
dismissing the corrupt UPA government. People of India deserve a
chance to democratically elect new leaders who will root out
corruption.
Thank you for your consideration and thoughtfulness.
Sincerely,
Ramlila Grounds
