LETTER TO PRIME MINISTER

Dear Mr. Prime Minister,

I am a typical mouse from Mumbai. In the local train compartment which has a capacity of 100 persons, I travel with 500 more mice. Mice at least squeak, but we don’t even do that.

Today I heard your speech, in which you said “NO BODY WOULD BE SPARED.” I would like to remind you that fourteen years have passed since the serial bomb blasts in Mumbai took place. Dawood was the main conspirator. Till today he has not been caught. All our Bollywood actors, our builders, our Gutka king meet him, but your government cannot catch him. The reason is simple: all your ministers are hand in glove with him. If any attempt is made to catch him, everybody will be exposed. Your statement “NOBODY WOULD BE SPARED” is nothing but a cruel joke on the unfortunate people of India.

Enough is enough. After seeing a terrorist attack carried out by about a dozen young boys, I realize that if the same thing continues, the days are not far when terrorists will attack by air, destroy our nuclear reactors, and there will be another Hiroshima.

We the people are left with only one mantra: Womb to Bomb to Tomb. You promised Mumbaikars Shanghai, but what you have given us is Jallianwala Bagh.

Today your home minister resigned. What took you so long to remove this joker? The only reason was that he was loyal to the Gandhi family. Loyalty to the Gandhi family is more important than the blood of innocent people, isn’t it?

I was born and brought up in Mumbai for the last fifty-eight years. Believe me, corruption in Maharashtra is worse than that in Bihar. Look at all the politicians: Sharad Pawar, Chagan Bhujbal, Narayan Rane, Bal Thackeray, Gopinath Munde, Raj Thackeray, Vilasrao Deshmukh — all are rolling in money. Vilasrao Deshmukh is one of the worst Chief Ministers I have seen. His only business is to increase the FSI every other day, make money, and send it to Delhi so the Congress can fight the next election. Now the clown has found a new way and will increase FSI for fishermen so they can build concrete houses right on the sea shore. Next time, terrorists can comfortably live in those houses, enjoy the beauty of the sea, and then attack Mumbai at their will.

Recently I had to purchase a house in Mumbai. I met about two dozen builders. Everybody wanted about 30% in black. A common person like me knows this, and yet with all your intelligence agencies and CBI, you and your Finance Minister are not aware of it. Where does all the black money go? To the underworld, isn’t it? Our politicians take the help of these goondas to vacate people by force. I myself was a victim of it. If you have time, please come to me — I will tell you everything.

If this were a land of fools and idiots, I would not have cared to write you this letter. Just see the tragedy: on one side we are reaching the moon, and people are so intelligent; on the other side, you politicians have converted nectar into deadly poison. I am everything — Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Scheduled Caste, OBC, Muslim OBC, Christian Scheduled Caste, Creamy Scheduled Caste — the only thing I am not is INDIAN. You politicians have raped every part of mother India with your policy of divide and rule.

Take the example of former President Abdul Kalam. Such an intelligent person, such a fine human being. You politicians didn’t even spare him. Your party, along with the opposition, joined hands — because politicians feel they are supreme and there is no place for a good person.

Dear Mr. Prime Minister, you are one of the most intelligent and most learned persons. Just wake up and be a real SARDAR. First and foremost, expose all selfish politicians. Ask Swiss banks to give the names of all Indian account holders. Give the reins of the CBI to an independent agency. Let them find the wolves among us. There will be political upheaval, but that will be better than the dance of death we are witnessing every day. Just give us an environment where we can work honestly and without fear. Let there be rule of law. Everything else will be taken care of.

The choice is yours, Mr. Prime Minister. Do you want to be led by one person, or do you want to lead a nation of 100 crore people?
