Slum demolition is an inevitable task. It is
painful. But it is required. All political parties are out to take sympathy of
people, finally to get vote. Nobody has said how this demolition could have
been avoided. Yes, simple answer is to leave them there. But need of railway cannot
be avoided. Railway need its own land for expansion to give better service. So
basically it is taking its own land.
People say notice have not been given. If notice is
working in this country, many things would have been easy. But it is not
correct. What is solution?
Poor people living below poverty line do not have
house. Most of them go to city to meet two ends. They have no place in city.
They can never rent, leave alone buy a house in city. The result is slum. It is
not their fault. Once in this world, they have live by whatever means. Days are
not far when they will simply walk in any house and demand to stay there.
Rather than trying to get political mileage out of
this incident, all leaders should come together and think how to find solution.
There are thousands such slums on land that is needed by government. Hundreds
way are available on paper to address such problem. But none will work.
Long term solution is to limit population. At the same time give good
governance. Fewer people's availability will increase their value and so more
earning. They themselves will arrange their houses. But again limiting
population is painful work and no leader shall dare to talk. Our constitution
shall put big hurdle for restricting population by law. Literates shall defend
their liberty by any way. Again only they have voice in this country. Poor 1/3
of population living below poverty line have no voice at all.
Modi should take up population stabilization as
most important point for good of country on long run. Of course, lot of gimmicks
are available when next election is the target!!!!!!!
