Revolution in Tunisia a lessen for the rest of the countries

By

Abdul Hannan Siwani Nadvi

The public revolution in Tunisia shocked the world and most countries, particularly in Arab world, fear same fate that had happened in Tunisia a few days ago.

Indeed, it could repeat itself in every country if the leaders would not be ready to address the problems of common man.

Behind this revolution, there were various reasons leaded to this stage in which President flees from the country and gets asylum in Saudi Arabia.

Corruption, price rise on food items, unemployment, lack of confidence in young generation, so many restrictions to do that and not to do that, government's mulling over worsening economic situation in the country and taking no the measures providing work, jobs and a good atmosphere for the generation that has dreams to do something new for the sake of the country are the real reasons of these changes in Tunisia.

Actually, false promises and government's claim that the action is being taken in this regard, tired the people lessening same words for every question.

The people had been wishing the results that change the reality on ground level. They had lost their patience and were looking a speedy solution of it.

Despite of government's action, the situation remained unchanged. Violence and government's false promises forced the people to take action themselves for their problems, the government tries to neglect it, so what happened in Tunisia is the first and last option taken by the people when it had established that the government is not taking their demands seriously and there is no solution of these problems except to go against the system and change it.

See what is happening in India. Sometime Mr. Pawar says the price rise on onions will come down in two or three weeks. Sometime, he says his ministry is not responsible for the price rise. Rahul Gandhi says that coalition government is the reason of price rise. Prime Minister calls a meeting to discuss on this issue which ends inconclusively.

This is the situation of the representatives of the people, who are receiving all facilities, funds and allowances by the government for serving the nation, in real they are not serving the people. Their works serve only corporate sectors because every minister in the government has fear for corporate sectors are bearing losses for this and that one.

Is Mr. Sharad Pawar or other leaders can refuse to take all facilities, salary, government's residence because they have failed in delivering their job and the people are not satisfied with their works.

If Sharad Pawar, Prime Minister, Rahul Gandhi or other leaders, whether they are in central or state government are not responsible for the work to which they are getting salary, protocols and security so why they are in the government? Why they not presented their resignation from their jobs?

There are some ministers and leaders whose action and illegal work pushed the country into losses which are not in lacks but it is in crores, in spite of, they are still unpunished. One the other hand, a poor girl faces humiliation, tortures and languishes in jail because she had spoken out against injustice.

The common man has tired form this kind of politics. There is a class which gives training to its workers and activists and when their workers found involved in terrorism then they claim that terrorism and its ideologies are contrary.

Intelligence agencies arrest innocents and even filed the chargesheets in the court too. After sometimes, revelations of Hindutva cadres establish their innocents, in spite of, they are in jail and the officers who misused their positions and jobs find a room to work freely. Neither the action has been taken against them nor the measures have been came into effect to prevent such incidents from happening again.

Electronic and Print Media proclaims of success and growing of Indian economy. It claims, India has become a powerful country and it is shining on International level, but why it is not shining on national level? Why we see sleeping Indians on footpath in this very cold night and even without blankets. Why the electricity yet not reached to every village? Why still hundreds and thousands of people lives and sleeps without food and without very basic needs? Why the crime rates even in the Capital are on high?

It is true; India is a largest democratic country. It is true; it has a largest railway network. It is true; India is a unique in various achievements; however, will it leave its effects on common people. If the people live and sleep hungry so what is the benefit of country's economic growth and this growth for whom. We made nuclear arsenals for our security and to prevent any attack on us, however, there is no need for the enemies of India to kill Indians, as there are people who are dying themselves. No need others to kill them. No need to wait the attack from other countries. The people themselves are not in the condition to fight and to protect the country because they do not have much food to eat and remove their hunger so how it could be expected from them to fight for the country.

The young generation is turning towards crime as it finds no ways to earn the money. Government's promises shine only in Print and in electronic media. The reality on the ground is as it was 10 years ago.

Now, question arises who is responsible for this one. Or we say too same as Mr. Pawar says that we are not responsible for these tragedies.

So, is there anyone who is running the government? Or it is running itself? It is upon the government of every country to address the problems of common man and solve it by action not by just only sweet words.

Indeed. The common people in every country, whether it is India, Pakistan or any other country have tired from unfair policies and they wish to see the changes in the system.

Revolution in Tunisia is a role module for every country and it could be repeated if the government does not show any interest in bringing their problems to an end.

There is news of starting agitation in some countries against price rise. Let us wait when the history repeats itself and when the revolution like Tunisia takes place in every country which is unfair with its own people.
