India in Turmoil : Part-1
A Charge sheet against the UPA government and its remote control chief.

(1) UPA government follows pro-terrorist policies.

The first major decision of the UPA government after coming to power in 2004 was the abolition of  Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA). When the jihadi terror was becoming deadlier, and Maoist movement was making steady inroads into all remote and tribal areas in the country, what was the need and logic behind abolishing a tough anti-terror law like the POTA? It was the first and clear signal to show that the UPA government wanted to be helpful to terrorists and all other anti-national forces. The UPA government, taking the side of foreign-funded NGO and human rights activists, has also been trying to abolish the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) from Jammu and Kashmir and North-Eastern states. However it could not be done so far, only due to stiff resistance from the army  which considers the AFSPA as a very vital tool for their effective operation in the disturbed areas of Jammu and Kashmir and the North-East region.

(2) Sonia Gandhi opposes anti-terror laws.

After the terror attacks in Mumbai in November 2008, there was tremendous pressure from various security agencies and political leaders, including some prominent members within the UPA government, for enacting a new anti-terror law to effectively deal with the worsening security situation in the country. However a powerful group of pro-militant Sonia loyalists within the UPA still resisted the move for any such new anti-terror law. According to a report published in the English daily "The Indian Express" dated October 2, 2008, a stringent anti-terror law recommended by the Administrative Reforms Commission was rejected by the UPA government because of opposition from Sonia Gandhi who felt that there was no need for any new anti-terror law as the existing laws were sufficient to deal with terrorism. It confirms that Sonia Gandhi herself has an anti-national mindset.

(3) UPA government is sympathetic to separatists in Kashmir.

The UPA government has adopted a pro-separatist policy in Jammu & Kashmir. The Jammu and Kashmir government's decision not to permit hoisting of the tri-colour at Lal Chowk in Srinagar on the Republic Day in 2010 had the approval of the UPA government. The government's explanation for this serious lapse was that the hoisting of the national flag would be  an unnecessary provocation to the separatists in the state. Flag hoisting on Republic Day was taking place at Lal Chowk for the past 19 years. It was former BJP president Murali Manohar Joshi who 19 years ago took out an Ekta Yatra from Kanyakumari to Srinagar to hoist the tri-colour at Lal Chowk. Now, to please the separatists in Kashmir valley, the UPA government has stopped the flag-hoisting ceremony at Lal Chowk in Srinagar

(33) UPA government's war on Indian economy.

The UPA government's various so-called welfare schemes meant for the poor have done irreparable damage to the Indian economy. Take for instance, the loan waiver scheme. While it is necessary to address the genuine grievances of the farmers, resorting to unethical and undesirable solutions like the loan-waiver scheme would only be counter-productive. The very concept of loan-waiver is highly regressive and objectionable. It makes the honest farmers who have paid back their loans look like fools while the dishonest ones are rewarded. The loan-waiver scheme has not stopped farmers' suicide in the country, but it has caused considerable damage to the country's economy.

UPA government's so-called flagship programmes like MGNREGS, UID-cash transfer scheme, free housing for the poor, the food security scheme and all such welfare schemes would only further ensure the destruction of Indian economy. Thousands of mega development projects in the country are presently stalled or delayed over issues like land acquisition problems, rehabilitation of project-affected people, agitation by local villagers and NGO activists or for want of environmental clearance. Union Minister Jairam Ramesh, when he was the environment and forest minister, had declared that that the various development projects in the country would not get the necessary green clearance unless a  comprehensive impact assessment is done on every such project. Though his declaration was welcomed by the NGO and environmental activists, this environment impact assessment exercise, in effect, was delaying all infrastructure development projects in India. In 2009, road transport minister Kamal Nath, power minister Sushil Kumar Shinde and water resources minister Pawan Bansal had reportedly complained to the Prime Minister against the environment ministry headed by Jairam Ramesh for deliberately delaying various developmental projects by withholding environmental clearances. The prime minister had then asked the Planning Commission to come up with a process that will give faster clearance to infrastructure projects. However, despite the prime minister's intervention, no concrete steps were taken to expedite the environmental clearance process. The anti-development lobby in India which is engaged in blocking all developmental projects in the country, is supported and financed by various western and church agencies. The government of India is very well aware of the activities and intentions of the western agencies involved in such disruptive activities in India. In fact in 2011, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had lashed out against some US and Scandinavian NGOs involved in abetting agitation against the Koodankulam nuclear power plant in Tamil Nadu. This emboldened Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalitha to act against those who were inciting the local villagers against the Koodankulam project, paving the way for resumption of work at the project. In the same way, the work on all other stalled and delayed projects in the country can also be resumed in a matter of days, if the prime minister so desires. But the hitch is that the anti-development lobby, backed by Jairam Ramesh and National Advisory Council, enjoys the patronage of  Sonia Gandhi.

As a result of the criminal misdeeds of the UPA government, India's growth has slowed to a decade low of 5% while the industrial output has slowed to a 20-year low of 1% in 2012-13.The exports have slumped and the rupee has fallen to Rs 59 per dollar. It appears that the UPA government has declared a war on India's economy. What else can explain the logic and meaning of the disastrous policies of the UPA government? Meanwhile Pakistan has given a new dimension to the war on Indian economy by bulk-printing of fake Indian currency in the government facilities in Pakistan and circulating the same in various Indian cities with the help of Dawood Ibrahim and his gang. Printing and circulating the currency of another country is an act of war. And, we respond to this undeclared war by our hostile neighbour  by stressing the need further efforts for promoting peace and friendship with Pakistan.
