AN OPEN LETTER TO SHIVRAJ PATIL

DATE : 26TH NOVEMBER 2008 , around 10:40 PM

I was busy playing a game on my computer , and I receive a message from one of my friends on Gtalk. Peeved at being disturbed during my game play , I open the messenger . " Dude , did u hear about the attacks ? " . I then realized that India's financial nerve center , Mumbai had been targeted by terrorists , yet again.

I switch on the TV , hoping to get more information about the attacks , from the numerous news channels. But , boy , was I in for a surprise ..

I see His Excellency Mr.Shivraj Patil !! For those uninformed , this man happens to be the Home Minister of India . He was looking straight into the cameras and talking about the attacks. With all due regard Mr.Patil , we need no more comments from your side.

India has been attacked repeatedly , at regular intervals. And the man , who is responsible for ensuring the safety of a billion Indians , has remained a mute spectator to all this nonsense which has plagued the country , in the name of terrorism . Mr.Patil , always has some alibi at hand , whenever an attack happens . And am sick of hearing the same thing from him over and over again .

" These are dastardly acts of terror " . " I condemn the blasts " . " We are with the people of India " . " It is the work of anti Indian elements " . " Innocent lives are being lost "....

He keeps repeating these lines over and over again ... ENOUGH IS ENOUGH , Mr.Patil.

What we need for the Home Minister , is not endless gibberish from his mouth . We need solid , steps being taken , to counter the menace of terrorism in India. Mr.Patil , you have to be more serious in your approach.

By the way , why am I addressing this inconsequential piece of dung as Mister ??? Am gonna refer to him as Patil , from now on..

Patil , you are easily the most inefficient minister , whom i have come across in 22 years of my existence on this planet.

Patil , you have no clue , what your obligations towards a billion people are ...

Patil , what exactly do you think you are doing , in the name of Home Minister of India ??

Patil , why don't you just shut that useless mouth of yours , when the country is under attack ?

Patil , do you seriously think that your comments are being taken seriously by anyone ?

Patil , do you really feel the need to say something every time the security of the country is compromised ? or is it just a sudden rush of insanity in that empty head of yours , which makes you utter this endless nonsense , at the drop of a hat ??

Patil , do you really care for the lives of a billion people , whom you have been asked to take care of ??

Patil , when will you realize that you are not doing your job properly ? or are you under the illusion that you are functioning very efficiently as the protector of a billion people ..

Patil , don't you realize that the image of the country is being tarnished , thanks to the inefficiency and incompetency of brainless chaps like you , in the guise of Ministers ??

Patil , do you seriously understand the concept of Internal Security ??

Patil , let me be very clear on this one.. a Home Minister has to ensure the safety of every single person in the country .. But you , on the other hand , are only concerned about your home , which I guess must be a multi-crore bungalow in one of Delhi's posh localities. This , i reckon , must be your idea of Home Minister.. brilliant ....

Patil , I really appreciate your crisp attire and upright demeanor , when you address the media , when hundreds of people are being killed across the country.

Patil , though your words seem to be very touching , in the light of terrorist attacks , I have always failed to notice a single note of regret , or a sense of loss in your dumb comments..

Patil , you can at best be described as an old , battered cassette player , which keeps annoying us with repeated nonsense all the time..

Patil , you sleep happily , like a new born baby , in your Air Conditioned bedroom , when we live with the utmost sense of insecurity..

Patil , do you seriously think you deserve to be paid the kind of money you make , in your capacity as a Cabinet Minister ? I feel , every single paisa which you make , is a loss to the country as a whole...

Patil , the least you can do , is close that big mouth of yours , and stop bugging us .. We all know that you are nothing , but a heap of dung... You don't have to prove it , every time you come out to say something...

Patil , come on , be a man for once.. stop listening to the words of another incompetent person.. and an Italian at that.. You take orders from a person , who is supposedly India's most powerful politician... and does not even speak the National Language properly.. Take orders from an Indian , dude.. Don't just bow down to that person , who is another inconsequential dumb head , like most of your colleagues in Parliament..

Which reminds me . when people were asking for your resignation , you had the nerve to go public with the following statement .. " I will resign , only when my Leader Sonia Gandhi asks me to resign.." .. The absolute nerve !!!

You stooped so low , to take orders from an European , whose only claim to fame , is making Rajiv Gandhi succumb to her charms... How worse can one become ??

Patil , in the unlikely event that you come across this letter , let me make it very clear tat I am not only against you , but also against most of the politicians , who have tarnished the image of the country.. You people are an absolute disgrace to the country.. All you are fit for , is to shout in Parliament..

You travel , in the comfort of bullet proof A/C cars , while I have to live with the fact that my life is at stake , everytime I board a train to commute to college everyday , in Chennai . Everytime I step out to watch a movie in a theatre , or eat out at a restaurant , or shop in the commercial area , my life is on the line...

But am not scared , buddy.. NOT ONE BIT.. I , like the common man on the street , have been through a lot in life.. I know what it takes to face challenges.. Living for more than twenty years , as a commoner , in India , has made me strong..

I bloody well know how to face tough situations in life.. After all , I have been made to put up with the utter incompetence of politicians , all through my life..

I assure you , piece of dung , that we are not scared.. We feel sorry for the people of the world who have lost their near and dear ones to terrorism.. But , am aware that , God forbid , i could be next.. and am not scared ...

But you , nit-witted fool , need not be worried .. What do know about the meaning of the word " LIFE " .. I assure you that you are safe , as you bloody well know , thanks to bulletproof cars , and a dozen pilot vehicles , to cover you everytime you step out of your house.. your life is safe , while the common man's life is on the line 24 x 7 .

It hurts ,to see you politicians , travel safely , and stop traffic everytime you leave the confines of your homes.

It hurts , to see that you are so insensitive to the sentiments of a billion people.

It hurts , to watch you in your expensive and crisp clothes , when the common people's clothes are splattered with blood , everytime terrorists attack us.

It hurts , to see people getting killed in the middle of the night , in Mumbai , while you snore away to glory , safe under the cover of a dozen commandos outside your posh bungalow.

And , Patil , why do you make it a point to visit the injured , in the hospital ? Do you believe , that we are convinced that you care for them ? I tell you , we dont trust you . All that, is a publicity stunt , common among your fellow politicians , always in want of the ubiquitous media byte.

Patil , one of these days , I sincerely hope that an injured person gets up from his hospital bed , and gives you a tight slap across that stupid face of yours . You deserve it , you fat headed idiot.

Patil , do you think that your visits serve any purpose ?? Ill tell you what happens.

You hear about a terrorist attack , and this is what you do..

STEP 1 : You dress up , as if you are attending State function , replete with immaculate hairstyle.

STEP 2 : Walk towards the hordes of media people waiting to get that futile sound byte from you.

STEP 3 : This is the part , where you make yourself worthy of an Oscar Award for Best Actor.

STEP 4 : You put up a sorry face , and come up with an Oscar worthy performance , making useless statements.

STEP 5 : You then announce that you have appointed committees to , look into the issue. But i know that these never really materialize.

STEP 6 : You then visit the site , fully knowing that your presence there is of no use whatsoever.

STEP 7 : You then visit the injured , and come up with yet another Oscar performance , hugging and consoling them.

STEP 8 : You then spend the rest of the day , God only knows what you do there.

STEP 9 : You again make some dumb comment before boarding the flight.

STEP 10 : You return home , and carry on with your useless work.

Patil , does any single step , which I have mentioned , serve any purpose whatsoever ? Is there any small bit of sense in what you do ??

Patil , there is an absolute sense of insecurity in the Country ...

Patil , you are incompetent..

Patil , you are inefficient..

Patil , you dont care about the lives of a billion people..

Patil , you are truly the best Home Minister the Country has had so far , because you only take utmost care of your home , and not mine....

Patil , do you feel bad , when people are being killed in Mumbai.. I do !!!

Patil , do you feel an urge to kill those terrorists who have made us feel bad ... I do !!!

Patil , do you feel the need to provide more security for the people... I do !!!

Patil , do you feel the need to dress up immaculately , when people are being killed , and make useless comments.. I don't .. but sadly , you do !!!

I admit am not a fan of the Congress Party. But this is not a pro-NDA letter either. It sums up the feelings of an entire country , whose people have become rather disillusioned , with political scum like Shivraj Patil.

Patil , I whole heartedly detest you , with every fibre of my being. Every time I see your stupid face on TV , I feel like puking.. Honest..

Patil , you have only one achievement . Congrats , for making the common man , look at every object lying in the street , with fear.

You have single handedly , tarnished the image of the Country .

Patil , everytime you eat happily , to your heart's content , remember that you owe every grain of rice , to the people of India.. Honest , hard working , tax paying citizens...

You are the biggest terrorist , as you have managed to bring a sense of fear , all across India , thanks to your incompetence.

I conclude my long letter with this....

If you have an iota of moral dignity left inside you, you better resign from the post of Home Minister... I cannot get anymore candid..

I know that there is no way this is going to reach you.. But in the unlikely event that it does , I know you might consider a defamation suit against me...

But i believe , YOU ,PATIL, have to be served the biggest ever defamation suit , in the history of the World.. for bringing shame to the World's Greatest Country , thanks to your stupidity and sheer incompetence...

Resign , Patil , resign.. in the best interests of a billion people...

TO HELL WITH YOU !!! adieu ...

Rohit .. on behalf of the common man....
