There is nothing called as “Strategic Silence” or “Tactical Stand” when it comes to voicing out against injustice.

THE arrest of Manish Sisodia should be a warning for every supporter of every party.

When Manish Sisodia had said that the release of Bilkis Banu rapists was “not his concern” the entire AAP support team on social media had ganged up to defend him.

They said it was a strategic silence and spent a lot of time convincing those who were upset by this stand, about how primary education and mohalla clinics were the agenda which would set the entire system right.

And how the AAP did not want to “play on the agenda of BJP”

This was not a one off case…

The complete blind eye turned by AAP during the Delhi riots where you could see a feigned helplessness on the part of their leaders with a “Oh but the Police are not in our hands”, even as their largest voter base (the Muslims) had their houses burnt…..

The outright targeting of the Tablighi Jamaat as superspreaders during the pandemic…

The tactic silence during the JNU and Jamia incidences where students were beaten brutally by the cops….

The upturned noses during the Shaheen Bagh protests where they were more concerned about the traffic situation of Delhi than about the citizenship of their voters….

AAP has always maintained a “strategic silence” when it comes to convenient (or rather inconvenient) issues…

Time that you realize…..

There is nothing called as “Strategic Silence” or “Tactical Stand” when it comes to voicing out against injustice.

These are merely opportunistic stands taken because you don’t want to stick your neck out for the weak…..because you are not the ones who are being affected by it right now.

You might not want to play the BJP’s game on BJP’s ground, but BJP is going to bring the ground to your home and make you play it.

And then others are going to maintain the same “Strategic Silence” that you did…..

Social injustice is the biggest evil that we are currently facing and if you can’t stand up for that, irrespective of what your political party line is, then you are sliding down a deep slope, away from being a better human being.

If you cannot stand strong against injustice against others, then that injustice is going to come knocking on your door soon……fir wo primary education aur mohalla clinics ki batti bana ke na…..baaki tum log samajhdaar ho.
