With Arvind Kejriwal cooling his heels in the national capital's Tihar Jail for the next two weeks and speculation being rife about one of it's founding members Shazia Ilmi making up her mind about quitting the fledgling party with immediate effect, the perils of doom surely seem to be looming large over the AAP.........
Though the party's official spokesperson, former news channel editor Ashutosh has gone red in the face denying all stories emanating in various sections of the media about former news anchor and media personality Shazia Ilmi quitting the rank and file of the party, sources close to Ms. Ilmi have indeed confirmed the fact that she has been displeased with the functioning of the party for some time and has made up her mind about quitting the party as she has been displeased with the party leadership for some time.........
Yes nobody is indispensable, but Ms. Ilmi's quitting the party will indeed create a huge vacuum at the top as Shazia Ilmi was always seen as the suave, educated, urbane and sophisticated face of the party and also as a person capable of helping the party build bridges with the minorities.......
Whispers were being heard about Shazia's growing irritability and disenchantment with Messrs Kejriwal, Vishwas, Yadav, Ashutosh and Rai as Shazia felt that these few people were taking crucial and far reaching decisions unilaterally without taking other founder members of the party into confidence and making an effort to thrust their decisions down the throats of the other founder members of the party and it's thousands of volunteers.........
The proverbial straw that broke the camel's back came in the manner in which the party bigwigs went about courting arrest after Arvind Kejriwal was arrested after he refused to sign a bail bond in the defamation case filed by him against one Nitin Gadkari, according to a Shazia confidante Shazia was fuming ever since she saw the sorry spectacle being enacted in full view of the media's cameras as she was of the informed opinion that these high pitched campaigns had lost their allure and meaning and were being seen as nothing more than mere dramas and gimmicks to remain politically relevant by a party that was slowly but surely loosing public support by the thousands..........
Whatever may be the reasons for Shazia's displeasure and vexation, I as a life long member and well wisher of the only party that espouses causes that really matter to the long abused and neglected common man hope and pray that the other founding members of the party take Shazia's considerations and complaints on board while extending the olive branch to a vexed Shazia and bring her back on board.........
This constant washing of dirty linen in public and using media platforms to vent one's anger and spew venom at others with whom you don't see eye to eye is only serving to erode the credibility of the party in the heart and soul of the Aam Aadmi and reducing it to both a laughing stock as well as object of ridicule.........
