Fifty Thousand Rupees Per Month

Muslim Murasu, January 2012

Inflation has not come under control with the change in the government. Monthly income of fifty thousand rupees can help manage inflation.
Protest, agitation, marches, strikes, meetings, gatherings, condemnation, point to weakness. Political parties do not have any useful suggestion to offer. Politician enjoying the comfort of AC car, bungalow, air journeys, foreign contacts, dominance of offspring and security setup seek every avenue to divert the issues. Babri Masjid demolition, Cauvery water problem, shouts for Yalpanam, Pakistan threat, flash bombings, onion price rise, Bofors scam, coffin scandal, Swiss bank accounts, black money drama, these are some of handy headlines. Magic phrases are used to mislead people. Politicians secure their families with colossal money and go to people only to leave them confused. Sabotaging relationship with adjacent states and fostering trouble with neighboring countries are part of the scheme. The elan with which politicians condemn America while maintaining frequent visits to the same country cannot be given a fitting sketch.
Muslims in Tamilnadu are battered and bruised by this spiraling price rises. They should not fall prey to diversionary tactics. Politicians raise slogans to amass more and more wealth.
Koodankulam, Mullai Periyar, Walmart, the list continues. Retail business revenue is 20 lakh crore rupees. Even if one-fourth tax were paid, it would have been 5 lakh crores. Poverty can be completely eradicated in India.
Muslims should not pay heed to protests and agitations. Anti-government stand is perilous. New and successive governments repeating the same follies with dexterity is what we have been seeing and got used to in the past 65 years. Police, court and prison operate under the aegis of government. Officers pledge unswerving allegiance to government. Muslims can avoid damage by supporting government. There is no point in opposing government. Only malafide cases can be the prize. Primary objective today is 50000 per month. Let us find ways to improve family income. We can support only the organizations, movements and leadership that take us in this direction. Let us stay away from diversionary dramas.
