Sitting on a cot in Auchinleck Sianik Aaramgah near to old Delhi Railway sation,I look into the faces of the soldiers of Indian armed forces desperate to go their homes.Thank God the Weather is moderate or it would have increased their agony many folds.
These jeans and tracksuits clad soldiers have problems.. many problems. I know it is not easy for them to get leave in time. They have really tough duties, many of them get leave at 11th hour. Forget about the reservation in the authorised class. Travelling in army compartment on those wooden seats that for thousand of kilometers these are the journies they would love to forget and it happens almost all the times. Peaceless in field and peaceless in civil too now they are halted in Delhi. This time it is not terrorism or any flood relief operation. It is not rescuing some child from any bore well either. This time is is Raj Thakrey.
All knew it was Raj Thakrey led MNS who did not let north Indian to appear in a railway examination in Mumbai killing four candidates as The Times Of India claims. Biharies like any other Indians who were expecting some severe punishment for Raj Thakrey’s mob inciting, could not swallowed down the verdict of Kalyan court decision in favour of Raj Thakrey thus a “chakka jam” in Bihar bringing life to standstill including railways was well expected.
Sitting at bed I can see the soldiers waiting for any train leaving to north east. The trains are cancelled for last two days. It is over rush here as many are struck here for last two days. Many of them have very short leave and many have to join duties. Who cares?
Like Biharies and Maharastrians they too are restless but one thing is differentiate them from their civilian counterpart. They do not blame each other for this mishap.
Come on people when will we learn?
