Allah Ke Bande

This morning, social media and news outlets were buzzing with debates comparing Modi and Arvind. Kiran Bedi added fuel to the fire by openly endorsing Modi on Twitter, despite her previous claims of wanting to remain apolitical. While I still respect Bedi, I cannot comprehend her reasoning behind this statement.

Both Modi and Arvind share a goal of curbing corruption and working towards the betterment of India. Their ultimate aim may be the same, but they are walking entirely different paths. I encourage everyone to research and make an informed decision before supporting a political figure. This is not about idolizing individuals, but rather about the future of our nation, for which we all bear responsibility.

While Modi has welcomed controversial figures like Yeddyurappa and shared platforms with the likes of Bangaru Laxman, it's difficult to trust the BJP's promises. Examples of their leaders going back on pre-election commitments or being involved in corruption only raise more doubts.

On the other hand, Arvind has fulfilled his promises, and there are no tainted ministers in his party. While some may criticize his reliance on Congress support, it's important to remember that he was pressured into forming a government by both the BJP and Congress. We must prioritize the country over any individual.

As I was reflecting on these issues, I came across a heartbreaking news story: "Teen dies stopping suicide bomber at school in Pakistan" This 14-year-old boy, Aitazaz Hassan Bangash, sacrificed his life to save hundreds of his schoolmates in a country often criticized for harboring terrorists. Words cannot express the anguish his story evokes. Aitazaz, a forgotten hero, may now find peace in the embrace of the divine. May his soul rest in peace.

It's crucial to recognize that our indifference towards the world is what causes the most pain.
