TODAY IS INDEPENDENCE DAY

15TH AUGUST IS OUR INDEPENDENE DAY Today we must all be in a jubilant mood . But most of us are unhappy. The President, in his speech last evening , expressed his displeasure over te way the proceedings of the Parliament was blocked by the unrelenting attitude of the two dominant parties , the BJP and the Congress. Ex-service men have been conducting a squatting demonstration at the Jantar Mandir , near the Parliament , demanding ‘one rank one pension’ Yesterday they were manhandled and driven out by the police. Is this the way , we should treat our men who fought for our country? Why could the Government not agree to their demand ? Extra money should not be an excuse. General public are angry at the rising cost of living. Even yesterday the Pakistani forces attacked our army at the border and Prime Minister chooses to ignore this ? Why? Individually , my family is worried about my wife’s illness. She is much better now. She can manage her affairs ; only my daughter or myself help her when she takes bath. She will do the cleaning with the soap , we pour water over her body. I want that we should go back , but my daughters like to serve her , at least for six months. Jai Hind!
