PRATIBHA PATIL

Presidential prophecy on Prathiba Patil

The post of "President" signifies the "Sovereignty & Integrity" in the democratic set-up of our Great Nation. Apart from being the 'Supreme Commander' of our mighty Armed forces, the President must ensure the sanctity of our constitution. The decisions made by the President are 'vital' at times like reconsideration of a 'bill' passed by Parliament, dismissal of a State Government, dissolution of Parliament and passing of Constitutional amendments brought in by the parliament. So, the Presidential nominee must have the relevant knowledge, exposure & experience apart from having a clean public image with clear antecedents. Hence, the highest constitutional authority namely the 'President' must be elected on a consensus in a healthy democracy.



What is happening now is that the 'Honour' of this great country is at stake. Prathiba Patil has been chosen for the post of highest constitutional authority by an 'extra constitutional authority' (read Sonia), which doesn't have any responsibility or accountability towards the people of this country, with a sole aim of serving her self interests. While the congressmen are known for their sycophancy & spinelessness, the other allies have fallen in line in order to achieve their own self-interests, as they are also known for their lack of interests on matters of national interests. The Left front, which every now and then prides itself on 'probity' in public life, has also supported the candidature of Prathiba Patil. The Prime Minister, who by this time must have got the intelligence-inputs about the presidential nominee, is keeping mum showing no signs of courage to tell his boss that the candidate is not a worthy choice.



The presidential nominee Prathiba Patil landed herself in trouble by making naïve remarks on the 'veil' system being practiced by the Muslim women, thereby earning the total displeasure of the community. She had also claimed publicly that, she had spoken with the 'spirit' of her Guru from the 'Brahma Kumari' sect & got the blessings. Then came in to the limelight, all her dubious antecedents, one after another. She has been accused of harbouring her brother, a murderer and curtailing the process of investigation; the Cooperative Sugar Factory founded by her has been involved in economic offences owing its bank crores of money; her Mahila Cooperative Bank started under the garb of helping & empowering women had to be closed by the RBI due to huge misappropriation of funds, which were distributed to her close relatives. Now, she stands accused in the eyes of Law, she is certainly tainted and deserves to face an enquiry.



While a small responsible section of the media reported her dubious antecedents, a large irresponsible & pseudo-secular media including the 24X7 English Channels followed obediently the footsteps of Congress Party and reported that none of the accusations pointed finger on Prathiba Patil and that she is not directly involved in those issues.



What is most condemnable is the attitude of the congress President. She had proposed the name of Prathiba Patil and announced her candidature, terming it as 'historic', knowing fully well the dubious antecedents of her presidential nominee. Talking of historic happenings, the election of Prathiba Patil as the President would be certainly a 'blot' in the history of independent India, worse than the 'Emergency'. The entire episode has exposed the irresponsibility, arrogance and the scant regards for Constitutional propriety of the UPA – Left combination.





Alas! The election of 'President' has been made in to a mockery by the Sonia led UPA-Left combine and the people of this country are simply watching the ugly scenes without even realizing the forthcoming 'danger' that the "Constitution" of India is going to be subjected to all sorts of unholy & unethical changes by a plethora of amendments, soon after Prathiba Patil takes over the mantle of Presidentship.



If at all the 'inner voice' makes our legislators to listen to their 'conscience' and if they act accordingly, then we can be sure that Shri. Baironsingh Shekawat would win the election and become President thereby saving our Nation & Constitution.



May God answer our prayers and save the Nation & its Constitution!
