Manmohan
Singh hasn’t the backbone to stand up against Tamilnadu to ask them to get off
his back, and for once take a decision of
his own as the Prime Minister of supposed to be a great Democracy in the World.
A leader
should know how to assert his leadership, if not he is not fit to be a
leader. It applies more so to a
political leader who is at the helm of the government such as a Prime
Minister. A Prime Minister should not allow
himself to be blackmailed by a coalition
partner to do what pleases them in
return for their support.
Our
neighbour the Prime Minister of India who claims leadership in Asia suffers from an inferiority complex unable to assert
his right as the Prime Minister to take
political decisions without fear or fervour.
Manmohan
Singh cannot stand alone as the Prime
Minster of India to take political decisions, even if he knows it is in the
best interest of his country. Through
out the terrorist “war” in Sri
Lanka, the Prime Minister of India propped
up by South Indian politicians without whose support he fears he will politically topple over,
refused to take political decisions on his own.
Even today
he is unable to take a political decision
which he thinks is correct due to
his fear that his weak coalition’s
supporters the Southern TamilNadu politicians
will refuse their vote at the next Lokh Sabha elections.
It is a sad
situation for a Prime Minister to be in.
Apart from his office of the
Prime Minister of India, if he has any principles of his own, he will call the
Tamil Nadu politicians and explain to them the political necessity to stand by
a neighbouring Sovereign State despite any political disagreements on certain issues,
and assert his right to take an Independent decision, as to whether he
participate or not in the CHOGM that is to be held in Sri Lanka.
Manmohan
Singh the Prime Minister of India should not behave like Stephen Harper. Harper is a distant away from Sri Lanka, his refusal to attend the CHOGM in Sri Lanka does not have any political impact in Sri
Lanka or on Canada. But India
being Sri
Lanka’s “next door neighbour” the political impact of
such a decision to both India and Sri Lanka is of a different nature.
The
elimination of terrorism from Sri Lanka was a relief for India
as well and the terrorist of Sri Lanka
had caused a greater loss to India in the
elimination of a young and a promising Prime Minister late Rajiv Gandhi.
Further
more the politicians of TamilNadu haven’t
got the political maturity to understand the implication in isolating a
neighbouring Sovereign
State purely for sentimental reasons. Therefore they have to be informed of their
necessity to develop a broader political awareness to give India the leadership in Asia.
The Indian government
cannot remain “prisoner” of the whims
and fancies of its Chief Ministers,
and political morons like Karunanidhi
and Jayalalitha.
What is the
political gain the TamilNadu State is expecting in holding its Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh to ransom, preventing him
taking a decision not favourable to TamilNadu’s sentimental attachment
to the Tamils in Sri Lanka
?
Is it not
an insult to the Office of Prime Minster that Manmohan Singh holds,
to be dictated to by sentimental TamilNadu politicians , and withhold
his right to take an independent decision in keeping with his Office of Prime
Minister ?
Manmohan
Singh’s remaining the Prime Minister of India after the next Lokh Sabha elections
is doubtful even with the support of Tamil Nadu, therefore in that doubt he
should at least now assert his position of being the Prime Minister of the
leading nation of Asia next to China, and attend the CHOGM come what may.
That is
only possible if he has the “backbone” to stand up for his right as a Prime
Minister.
