Dear Ms. Shazia Ilmi,
One did learn of your decision to sever all ties with the fledgling Aam Aadmi Party citing the absence of inner party democracy and the emergence of a "crony coterie" amongst other things and while one does not deny your right to do as you deem fit, one wonders whether you have taken the right decision at the right time.........
Madam, both you and Captain Gopinath deplored Shri Arvind Kejriwal's so called "jail politics" but do you also deny the fact that hundreds of young men belonging to the economically deprived sections of society are languishing in various jails throughout the country simply because they are unable to pay the exorbitant sums fixed as bail bonds and Arvind Kejriwal's "jail Yatra' is an earnest attempt to highlight the pitiable plight of such people and not to score "political brownie points" as you allege.......
One has always heard of the adage about victory having many fathers and defeat being an orphan and you have indeed proved the dictum right; every Aam Aadmi Party activist was more than aware of the fact that you were sulking ever since the powers that be within the party denied you a parliamentary constituency in the national capital as you had lost the assembly elections from the R.K. Puram constituency albeit by a narrow margin...........
You of all people must know that it is practically impossible to allot every candidate with a seat of his/her choice by virtue of having been associated with the media for long years and having covered many an election during your your media stint; yet you continued to persist with your nocturnal tendency of having your cake and eating it too.........
You are not the only person to have been associated with the party since the day of it's inception, thousands of other people like yours truly have been associated with the party in both in it's Aam Aadmi as well as India Against Corruption Avatar for the last four years and more but have not hankered after personal power and position like you; you lament about the "crony coterie" going against the laid down party line on a plethora of issues and carving their own path; pray tell me what were you doing while hobnobbing with rabidly communal elements and drumming up their support for your Ghaziabad adventure; was your behaviour in consonance with the laid down party line which places all religions on the same platter and expressly prohibits using religion as a medium for personal aggrandisement.........
People who live in glass houses should never throw stones at others and you have only brought disdain, ridicule and contempt with your decision to quit the fledgling party when it needs to be strengthened and reinforced in order to ensure that it continues to wage it's relentless war against corruption, graft, greed, avarice and enriching oneself at the cost of crores of deserving others and pray doe enlighten on me on the difference by you, your political adversary General V.K. Singh and a certain Ms. Kiran Bedi who deserted the movement against corruption and graft in the search of greener and far more enriching political pastures.........
Ms. Ilmi all one can say in conclusion is that the loss is entirely yours and certainly not the Aam Aadmi Party's; a party that provided you with a ready and available platform to carve out your own niche amongst the wider scheme of things rather than being a part of the gaggle like is the practice in every other two bit political party that you aspire to associate yourself with........
Wishing you nothing but the best in your forthcoming political ventures, I remain........
