Referring to the news item in Herald dated 20.04.19, where the Goa Mining People’s Front advised its members to vote according to their own decision though earlier it vowed not to vote for BJP. I don’t know why a sudden change of decision when the entire Goa was ready to support the earlier stand of GMPF. It is an injustice to all the people who got affected with this crisis of mining ban due to lack of support by the BJP governments both at the Center and in Goa. Hence, I feel people should punish the BJP in the coming election by not voting BJP back to power so that justice is done for the affected people. If BJP when ruling at both the places cannot put things into order then who will? This shows how dull headed BJP is.
The Central idea of Islam is Justice and when once Prophet Mohammed was asked why there is injustice in this World and when there will be justice in this World, replied Prophet thus: “when everyone of us will gather courage to fight against the injustice committed on to others as if that injustice is committed on to us only, then only there will be justice in this World”.
In view of above, it is our duty to support our mining affected people by not voting BJP to power and thus indicate that the people’s voting power is more powerful. We cannot allow BJP OR for that matter any party to take us the voters for granted.
