Demoliton Sqad.

Some time back Mr. Gajodhar pande thought of buying a house with his hard earned money. Struck a deal with a contractor for a house in a posh upcoming locality in delhi. After the inaugral mahurat and other rituals he entered the house with his family. They lived happily thereafter , but only till the last week.
They came to know that the construction was illegal the land belonged to the government. As per the High court orders it had to to demolished. They tried to protest along with others to save their house , but no one to listen to them. At last they packed(most of it was just thrown out ) their stuff and were now on the road,that was the only house they had. The Demoliton sqad arrived early morning , somehow these guys become punctual at these times, and within no time it was grounded. This is what Mr & Mrs. pande along with their children went through, but the numbers like them are far more. After reading all this probably most of you will sympathise with the family and would want the builder to be caught and shot dead. But look at the facts.
The building was passed by MCD ( the same people who razed it) in return they got loads of money from the parasite builder. The builder transferred that money on to the customers like Mr. pandey. The builder constructed the houses, sold them, made money, got rid off all that and is enjoying this very hard(he had to please a whole bunch of asses to do that) earned money.
The point is, is it only the builder who is responsible for this episode. In todays secenario I as a human cannot leave any oppurtunity for additional income, and the urge is even stronger when the amount is large so large. It's human nature, and most of the general public is not purushottam bhagwan ram , we are here to earn live better enjoy for that we need loads of money and that is what they get.
Dear its a circle it begins with the owner, either he knew the construction is illegal or he did not. If he knew he has no authority to claim or protest. This is a weird explanation that they have been there for the last 15-20yrs and now where do they go. They were putting up at an illegal site , they should be thankful to govt. moreover to god that they were not disturbed for those years. This way anyone can just put up a chai ka khoka around rashtrapati bhawan and after 15yrs he will claim its his place , if todays scene is justified then that too is. Rather I request the govt. to charge them the rent for the time they have been there , then only they will stop blabbering.
Then there is the second breed who say that they didnt know. Bhaiji paisa aapka tha , chori karke laye the to kya farak hai , yadi mehnat se kamaya tha to pata karna tha. Its your money and hence your responsibility to seek all information before opting for it. Most of them thought how can the builder( in apartments) cheat so many people, all people are not fools. So looking at each other all of them paid, trusting that all others are not fools rather than inquiring the authenticity of all the documents. It is this what the builder encashed, your lethargy, your lethargy to look up in the govt. office if the structure is authorised and moreover your trust on each other that the builder will not be able to dupe all of you togther. I rather admire these builders for their business acumen, that is encashing oppurtunity.The MCD officials have earned personally when they allowed you to occupy, the govt. will earn from the demolition bills they give you. So, its money to them in good or bad, they earn from you.
There has been this ulhasnagar mumbai case which is a big KALLA DHABBA on this pious movement. This has set a precedent for all other illegal construction owners to demad legalisation on the pretext of the ulhasnagar being a similar colony that has been legalised, and there cant be different parameters for judging the others, remember being taught in primay school right to equality before law. And this has nothing to do with the ministers sympathising with the residents , if the cases are opened lots of them will be charged with bribery and other corrupt practices. They are given their share of paisa by the residents of ulhasagar to do this, they are saving their ass, earning money(that is what they were there for, to earn by exploiting the power vested to them for the junta's benefit) , a solid voter support so that they remain in power, unki to chaaro ungliya ghee man aur sar kadhai main hai baboo marta to aam aadmi hai whether these structres are leaglised or not.
The conclusion is that its a symbiotic kind of relationship where the ministers help us to save their ass and we help him stay in power because he will let go off anything we may do. Without the slightest thought that oneday we will be the ones cribbing over these incidents.
