Prashant Bhushan's remarks on AFSPA

Had read +Prashant Bhushan's statement on the above, and shall not quote it, as it should be available enough over the Net. The Point is that it sounded Sensible Enough to me. There IS the problem as to How much of a Distorted version We are getting at this stage.

I Shall NOT be speaking of Referendums, Plebiscites or anything like that, as I have No political science.

But, as a Common Man, shall write some Common Sense things on all these.

1. It was said that AAP-ians did not know politics. And what is the Shame in that?

        Politics, after all, is 'Raj-Tantra,' the 'Tricks' Kings used to Keep their Subjects under their Thumb. 

        We Should be Happy if AAP-ians are not good in politics.

        Here is What they SHOULD be: Good Human Beings, Good Citizens, And Concerned and Honest Administrators. And Happily, We Can be Happy that they ARE that. 

2. Typical politicos spew a lot of air, giving themselves time the while to think and assess what they are saying, examining whether their statements would cause them any problems, even as they speak. Their Interest is NOT the Welfare of the Nation or the People, but themselves.

        "They duck stinging questions through ambiguous replies,

        Shy away from being barracked, 

        Are guilty of 'self-righteous shrillness,

        And use 'brusque interjections in a high-pitched voice.'"

        I took all the above Delightful descriptions from Firspost. Reference in Comments.

Let us be Thankful if AAP-ians are NOT like that.

3. AAP had done well to have Concentrated on the affairs of Delhi. Now that the situation is showing that the Nation is calling for AAP. It seems that there has NOT been enough discussion on policies. AND NO WONDER. We seem to think that policies are made in Days. We shall have to change our mind on that.

4. Policies NOT having been outlined, Prashant had spoken out Too Soon. Prashant would have done well to have said that the policy is yet under discussion. But he is right in saying that AFSPA has to be revised. There have been Enough instances of Misuse that make this Necessary.

5. A Govt SHOULD carry out what its People Want. THAT is the job of the govt.
