Dissenters must for Democracy but we must protect our nation from Pessimists.

Yesterday (12th May 2020) my Prime Minister in his address to the nation announced a stimulus package worth ₹ 20 Lakh Crore (10% of India's GDP) to deal with the economic crisis arisen due to COVID-19 pandemic. By many, this was seen as a masterstroke by the Government to alleviate the current crisis. He further communicated that the details of the package will be given by the Finance Minister in coming days, post the announcement. The Prime Minister in his speech further assured that the package would provide relief to majorly all sectors, be it small or large industries, farmers, MSMEs, etc. etc.

As soon as the package was announced the Indian National Congress took no time to criticise the move and straight away disapproved of it. They didn’t even have the patience to wait for the Finance Minister to share details of the package. The Madhya Pradesh Congress committee didn't even wait for the Prime Minister to end his speech and tweeted that '₹ 20 Lakh Crore' was a meagre amount at this time of crisis. This is the same Congress party that in the month of April demanded an economic package worth at least 5-6% of our GDP for the recovery of our economy.

Statements that were given by the same party.

This is not the first time when the Congress party has exposed its hypocrisy. Recently we saw how a top-level Congress leader called their party President, "The Mother of India" but the same Congress party mocks the supporters of PM Modi who call themselves ‘Bhakts’. The Congress’ stand on the ‘Citizenship Amendment Bill, 2019’ also exposed their hypocrite nature. It was the Congress party and their Leader of opposition in the Rajya Sabha that demanded that citizenship be given to the persecuted minorities in our neighbouring nation when the Vajpayee Government was in power but the same Congress party opposed the bill and termed it unconstitutional when it was introduced in the parliament by the Hon. Home Minister. 

There’s no doubt that for a strong democracy and strong opposition is must but strength is not the only thing that is required. It is important for the opposition to realise that,

With great power there must also come great responsibility

We need an opposition that is responsible that can be trusted. Dissent is very important for the success of Democracy, but, we must understand that dissent is very different from pessimism. Dissenters are the ones who analyse everything properly and then make a decision to oppose. On the other hand, pessimists are the ones who don’t care to analyse but blindly oppose each and everything. Dissenters play a very important role in nation-building by pointing out errors whereas pessimists are those who strive to destroy this nation. Many times we come across dissenters who support the government but this cannot be expected from pessimists. Pessimists find the glass half empty even when the glass is fully filled. Pessimists are a disgrace to this nation. No doubt that they are the biggest hypocrites. We must not consider the Indian National Congress to be the principal opposition but only a party of pessimist people leading the opposition.

Many Congressmen complained about the speech of Hon. Prime Minister to be very long. These are the same people who can listen to senseless speeches like ‘आलू से सोना’, ‘पिच्छातिस हज़ार’, ‘Strategy’, etc but have a problem in listening to their own Prime Minister for 40-45 minutes. These guys are so depressed that they can create a problem out of anything. We also so saw these people making a mockery of the Prime Minister’s “Vocal for Local - To go Global” appeal. Many called this a jumla. After failing to find any point to criticise the government, now the opposition leaders have started questioning the government about the source of money. These are the same people who have mocked the Make in India programme in the past. They think that by mocking such programmes and agenda they create a bad image of the government but the truth is that by mocking they just expose their anti-India, anti-poor & anti-swadeshi propaganda. With this, it is also proven that for Congress Party 'politics' is always their first priority.

Some of the tweets by the leaders of INC that
exposes Their Hypocrisy
"आप Chronology समझिए"

Correctly pointed out by Hon. Prime Minister, COVID-19 pandemic has made it clear that we cannot move ahead without being Self Reliant - Aatmanirbhar. From ‘Zero’ PPE kits to ‘2 Lakh’ PPE kits daily, from negligible production of N95 masks to production of ‘2 Lakh’ masks daily shows that we have already started our journey towards ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’. From ‘PM Gareeb Kalyan yojna’ earlier, to ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan’ now, the government has shown that it is working day and night to make lives of the poor, small businessmen, farmers, etc easy during the ongoing crisis. 

There's no doubt that Congress and other opposition parties are big pessimists. They’ll oppose even if right measures are taken. Nothing more can be expected of them! But we as citizens of this nation have to fulfil our duty towards nation-building. We have to build a new India that is Aatmanirbhar, Sashakt & Samruddh. Aatmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan is a welcome step by the Government of India. This programme indeed is a masterstroke by the Modi-Government and will prove to be the stepping stone towards Aatmanirbhar Bharat standing on the five pillars of Self-Reliant India. With this, we must also work towards making "Vocal to Local - To go Global" a mass movement on the same notes of Swaccha Bharat Abhiyan to empower the poor and the youth of this nation.

Five Pillars of Self-Reliant India

I also hope that the opposition parties of India realise that they have a very important role to play. They must become responsible and should indulge only in Positive criticism. They should accept this programme as a beginning towards self-reliant India. They should help the Government in building a new India that is self-reliant, empowered & prosperous. An Aatmanirbhar Bharat is not possible without unity amongst all the sections of our society. Pessimism can do no good for our great nation!

JAI HIND!
