The Date: April14th 2012
Venue: Raj bhawan, sector 2,
Chandigarh
A press release by the newly found government under the surprising coup by women of Punjab who materialized, gathered their strength and formed a political party in the times of adversity to combat the genocide, illegal abortions done in the state, rise of drugs, alcohol, rapes , molestations, bride –burning and last of all the horrific rise of acid throwing where girls were being disfigured . This party under the command of Mrs. W. has taken the old battle guards of Punjab by surprise. It is in fact a tribute to the rise of women power all over India. India is now ruled by Amma in the south, Didi in the East, Bhenji in the north, Aunty in the capital, Madam in the centre, Tai in the rashtrapti bhawan and the wife at home. The last bastion was Punjab and Haryana and slowly and slowly the winds of change like the slow and reliable Ambassador ( which has always been the symbol of power in India ) , the last citadel fell. Punjabi men, who for years have ruled us by the dwindling knowledge they possess lost in large numbers. Of course the grounds of corruption raised by the new yellow party also fell mellow when the women decided to take matters in their own hands. The main slogan was development, progress and prosperity and it was not based on the divisive politics and nor were feminist issues like women issues eg, dowry deaths, rape or to some extent price rise which affects a house wife taken into account.It is quite apparent in the country that women are taken as representatives to appease the masses, you know the bahus and betis and the beautiful charismatic film actress who captures the vote bank .Politics in this case has taken a 360 degree where women came together to form a party and surprisingly the youth and the older generation joined in large numbers. This infant party which came together to answer the problems which Punjab and not just men or women has met with a resounding success.
Women’s Party is neither Marxist, a leftist or right wing party. Mrs Sunaina,the spokeswoman asserts it’s a party which came to birth to answer the problems which a male –dominated society could not answer and kept on steering the course of Punjab to failure and doom. Where is it stated that to fund the budget there should be more and more liquor vends opened next to schools, residential areas to finance the government? Why is the wheat rotting, where every year like stale bread it is shown on the national channels given the perfunctory 2minutes sound bite and then thrown into the bin for resurrection next year?
Why are girls being killed and our so-called saviors in rotation change government seats but the stats keep on dipping lower? Maybe they did want to start the first museum showcasing girl child as an exhibit and at least be the forerunner in something?
This party is a representative of the common women who is child –bearing, child rearing but is also the foundation of the society where she knits the fragments of the society together and it is this common, unrecognized woman who has given birth to all the leaders but sadly in the megalomaniac world of today she still dreams on for a better tomorrow.
Note please:
The writer hopes, no knows that things will change. As the saints said: THIS too shall pass.
