Politics could be used for both, instigating hostility and sowing the seed of love, it depends on the leader whether he wants to follow the path of Sardar Patel, whose birth date is celebrated as Unity Day or he is impressed by British Raj. Party can’t retain its power for long until it divides people on the basis of cast, religion, status, and gender. The riots which are happening in Northeast Delhi are a warning to the middle and poor class that if you do protest, you will have to face nerve-wracking repercussions. Democracy is just a saying in our country, in reality, vulnerable groups do not possess any right to protest. It’s a fabricated scene because the action could have been taken immediately after a single death. Honorable Home Minister Amit Shah and Honorable Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal were engaged in deep discussions on how to stop violence when the Northeast Delhi was set ablaze, may I know where is the outcome of the meeting? Why the central and state government have been waiting for the death toll to become 40 or 45? What is the reason for delaying the implementation of section 144? Are they capable of giving answers to the kin of the deceased? Is it not the duty of the state to protect its citizens? No matter how greater the amount of compensation is, one can’t measure the value of a person for his family. India is the nation’s state and the government has to value the life of citizens; it can’t use them for the politics of divide and rule.
The Northeast is the most crowded district of India with a population of 22.42 lakhs, 29.3% Muslims and 16.7% Dalits. This district has no history like other cities. It saw an incessant surge in population from the last 3 decades which led to urban agglomeration. Their economy is predominantly dependent upon small unorganized units and most of the labor class is migrant. The government has been failed in ensuring good health and sanitation for them. 72% of residents of Northeast Delhi still discharge wastewater into open drains, institutional delivery, and full immunization is also less as compared to Delhi's average. The reason why this is important to understand is, they are vulnerable folks, even lacking basic amenities, so it’s easy to target such residents and shut their mouths. What were they protesting for? They are bearing the cost of protesting against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), for which lakhs of people get down the streets and corners to stand against. The government does not have an ideal formula of identifying between the genuine and the bogus, that’s why it is simply giving citizenship on the basis of religion, which may be a threat to the nation’s security. The act got easily passed in Lok Sabha because the benefit of the majority is with NDA. Whatever it is, the constitution provides us the right and not any political party.
This riot has not only destroyed land and property and did a monetary loss but also ruined the peace and harmony of the district. Where people were used to sharing sweets in festivals and used to exchange wishes on auspicious occasions, from now they will exchange barbs because their minds are filled with bigotry and atrocity. They are no more friends, congratulations to all the politicians. They won, we lost! Clean sweep!
