At this juncture when almost whole country is devastated by high floods it is more unnatural than unbelievable to know that the landed estates of our top brass are untouched or at least not reported. To the best of my knowledge and belief, the water can not distinguish between the governor and the governed but yet how it is not reported as to what music has our VVIPs faced. There can be some peculiar circumstances to explain as to what can be the reasons otherwise it is next to impossible that they can be left untouched and unaffected.
· First and the foremost reason can be that perhaps they are landless but I am afraid this is not true for the simple reason that a politician in general and our in particular simply can not be landless unless I am happily inviting for self prosecution. The other possibility could be that their lands must be much elevated so how could flood water reach there but it is next to impossible since the water level had been too high and hence the farms in question simply could not left untouched. Yet there can be another argument that special protective measures had been taken including erecting flood resistant walls around their lands and or breaching or diverting water to other areas but it quite absurd to construe alike for the simple reason that they being truly elected people can not harm others to save their own neck. The last, though not the least, it could be that their farms and lands etc too have been inundated by cruel flooding waters but they have issued strict instruction forbidding the media to flash any news about such destruction. The rationale behind such move is that both of them never wanted the general public to feel pity on them on this account
Please do at least let me know, if not others, as to what is the ground reality so far as our President and Prime Minister is concerned. Let me appeal my country men and women not to forget to compensate both of them also if they have also sustained some loss like the rest so that it is proved to the world at large that we are much judicious and not biased in our dealings
With my honest and solemn prayers
