Power of a Ruler


Tsar's Finger

 


Tsar Nicholas I, the ruler of Russia wanted to build railway line connecting Moscow to St. Petersburg.
The engineers could not decide on the most suitable route and in year 1847, Tsar lost his patience.
He summoned all engineers, spread the map on table. He took a ruler and drew line connecting two cities.
Tsar's order, that to outraged Tsar's order and the orders were followed exactly.
Railway line was completed and the route opened in 1851.
While drawing the line between two cities, the great Tsar's finger which was slightly beyond the drawing scales edge, as he was holding the scale on the map.
The resultant line was not straight but had one small curve of 17 miles. Thanks to the Tsar's finger, the route was 3miles longer than straight line distance between Moscow and St. Petersburg.
 
The route remained like that for 151 years, until it was corrected in 2002.
That is the power of a 'RULER'  ( pun intended)

What are you going to do to Dr. Ved Vaidik??????



Letter to Shri. Narendra Modiji,

 

What are you going to do to Dr. Ved Vaidik??????

 

We love you, we respect you. We brought you to the power and have placed our lives, hopes and futures in your hand.
But we shall question you.
What are you going to do to Dr. Vad Vaidik?
How was it so easy for him to meet 'Enemy of Nation'? How could he have talks in friendly atmosphere with man who killed my brothers and sisters?
I am pained, badly hurt to see somebody talking to Hafiz in so friendly manner. Did Ved expressed his anger and anguish to Hafiz?
Vedik went to Pakistan as a member of official delegation and then you cannot treat his interview with Hafiz as his private/personal act. That is stupid logic put forth by your party in defence of Dr. Ved. If we extend this logic then your ministers can dance naked on beaches of Goa when on holiday as personal act. You officers can take bribes at home as private act.  Your party members can spend insanely huge sums of money in marriages of their sons and daughters and you can defend it as private act.
I am aware that even western media interviews Hafiz but they are never in Pakistan as member of official government delegation.  They represent their TV/Radio channels and newspapers not the nation.
Can you declare the 'purpose of visit', in Ved Vaidik's visa application? Can you declare who paid Ved's visit to Pakistan?  Can you declare who was official sponsor of Ved's visit?
Please do not be seen as someone who is defending 'Traitors of the Nation'.
Sir, be strong and take action. Having personal contacts with 'Enemy of the Nation' can be and must be treated as, sedition/ Antinational action'. Let the press, media know that 'freedom of press, media, speech and expression, comes with responsibility. The media must not think that they are above law.
I am aware that you cannot act as Mossad of Israel and cannot bring Hafiz to Delhi as Mossad  brought Adolf Eichmann back from Argentina but at least do not be seen as someone  'Helpless Can't Do"
Media's every action should be for nation's good.  

We have faith in you but if you do not take any action then that might become first crack in our FAITH, in you.
