When we live under a democratic country, then we expect some rights which will be always protected; however, in last few days, I felt that our right are under great threat and we are slowly becoming a lawless nation with no government to fully take care of us. I feeling very sad while writing this article becuase I didn't expected that this can happen in present India.
Due to the recent verdict on the one of the controversial self claimed Saint (Baba) Gurmeet Ram Rahim, many parts of north India are facing internet emergecny with either internet services totally cut off or partially at other places. In the states of Punjab and Haryana, mobile internet is completetly off while partial braodband internet is working.
Today, I am writing this post under similar internet emergency with no mobile internet (2G, 3G or 4G) and only hope is bsnl broadband connection which is allowing me post my views but I can't see them live because most of sites are not opening. This is first time when I have seen such an internet emergency where online connectivity is cut off for ordinary people.
Actaully, it is a system failure where our governments and police is unable to tackle the situations well so they create more problems for ordinary people by imposing internet emergecny, section 144 and crufews at many parts.
Why so many other people need to suffer because of the few wrong people? Why our system is in so poor state that it can't stop them from creating troubles for others.
Now a single Baba has put on hold four states of India by making it hard for millions of innocent people to express their views, do their work peacefully or travel freely.
First politicians make such fraud Babas and Saints, and then fail to control them. We all saw one of peaceful cities of India, Panchkula buring like it was situated in a war zone. Huge clouds of smoke can be seen emerging out of many places in the city. People of city spend three nights and days under immense fear and pressure; however, local government allowed situation to go out of hand to pleae supporters of Baba. 35 protestors were either shot dead or beaten to death by police and security forces.
So far, there looks no end to this problem because internet services are switched off till tuesday and there is no assurance that they will start by wednesday.
I feel that whole situation is very bad and our system has rusted. Ordinary people are brain washed to become puppets in hands of politicians or Babas.
