Communalism will not be tolerated..!

ROBERT CLEMENTS

 "…We will not tolerate communalism…" Prime Minister Modi.
‘Prime Ministerjee, Prime Ministerjee, a man from the minority community supposedly eating beef was lynched, others from the same community skinning a dead cow were killed and you sirjee without batting an eye said you would not tolerate communalism!'
'Ah PM Sahib, what a statement! So powerful, so forthright; we imagine you with curling lip and determined bearded chin, head resolute on firm shoulders, hair bristling with righteous indignation, mouthing such mighty words, without fear or apprehension!'
'But Sahib, sahib, the deed is done!'
'What is that sirjee? You make statement only after deed is done! There is no point saying anything before deed? If you make statement before then you won't know who culprits are? It is part of strategy? Oh great PMjee you are great one for strategies, but while you spend time playing strategic chess using state as chessboard, goondas are taking over!'
'It is not just your strategy you say? Whole country follows same plan?'
'After bomb blast, when people lie dead,
broken, without hand, leg or fingers, with blood splattered all over, then loudly and boldly with firm voice and resolute face, we hear shout, 'Terrorists will be wiped out!'
'After churches are burnt, mosques broken, temples desecrated then home minister say boldly and sternly, 'Communalism will be routed out!'
'Ah Prime Minister what a grand plan!'
'But tell me sirjee is there any action after you mouth such bold and heroic words?'
'There is!"
'Our hearts are glad sirjee, pray what sirjee, what is the action you take?'
'You call Police Chief!'
'Very good sahib, very good! And in a loud voice, ah sorry, very loud voice order him to increase the police force, increase the men.'
'Increase the men where sirjee?"
'Yes, yes, I heard you sirjee, you use loud voice, but increase the men where? In station, road or public place, in mall, train or bus?'
'What sirjee? What you said just now sirjee? You use loud voice and tell police chief to increase men round yourself, your ministers and all the VIP's..!'
'And what about us Prime Minister sahib? What about us the common man, Prime Ministerjee?'
'Ah for us only those loud statements: 'Communalism will not be tolerated..!'
