I am taking the liberty of writing to your Hon’ble self directly,to bring to your kind notice the sickness governing our Political System.

You must be aware of the fact that once our country was called “sone Ki Chiriya”,to plunder our country came invaders from almost all parts of the globe,The Moughals settled to rule,a dynasty that ruled our country for centuries,sensing a rich harvest with a weak ruler came the British,again ruled our country,After the British left our country, we are being plundered once again by a new breed of invaders called the politicians,they too have established strong roots in our country to plunder it to their satisfaction.

Every politician claims that till his last drop of blood he will serve the nation,but his own blood never serves the nation,have you ever heard that the son/daughter of some politician has joined the armed forces,no the kith and kin of politicians never like to shed their blood for the nation,but they suck the blood of the nation,Your lordship will find that the kith and kin of the politicians either become businessmen/businesswoman or follow the footsteps of their father or mother.Its for the common man to serve the nation,I had tears in my eyes when once I read in a army camp”FOR YOUR TOMMORROW WE GAVE OUR TODAY”,The supreme sacrifice of life.

.

Since there is a retiring age for all Government Servants their heads should also retire when reaching that age.The politicians should be allowed only two elections in their life time,their retirement or two elections which ever comes first.In our country a politician wants to contest elections till his last breadth.

The mother of all evils is the State Elections /the Government formed in a state to rule,Your lordship does the Government machinery collapse when the Central Government imposes Presidents Rule in some states, no it never does rather the working of the Government Officials improves during that period.There should be a competent Governor in a state to oversee the matters of the state with the help of competent officials.

The age to contest Parliament elections be raised to 35 yrs,let all citizens serve the armed forces for a minimum period of 10 yrs after their graduation.Graduates should only be allowed to contest Parliament elections.

The kith and kin of a politician be barred to contest election till his father or mother is contesting or is Member Parliament,Minimum period of 5yrs gap should be there,before for making him or her eligible.

Like MISA,COFEPOSA,POTA etc.Stringent Law should be enacted to punish corrupt Member’s of Parliament or Ministers,misusing their post for selfish gains.

Now comes a very important question ‘What will a politician do after his retirement”-Politician then will serve the Party-the People-the Nation.

With a population of over one Billion people I am sure we will have better people to serve the Nation in all respects.
