Curse on Humanity

On last Sunday 23-May-2021, Ryan Air flight # 4978 took off from Athens Greece at 7:29 Hr local time for Vilnius Lithuania. When this passenger plane reached airspace of Belarus, the pilot gets message from Belarus’ Air Traffic Control (ATC). They have intelligence that a bomb is on the board and hence land the plane immediately. The pilot obeyed the instructions from ATC without any suspicion. The plane landed on Minsk airport of Belarus. As soon as plane landed, police took over control of the plane and arrested Roman Protasevich and his girlfriend. After that plane was allowed to go its destination (Vilnius). Roman is a dissident of Belarus and strong critics of Dictator of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko. Lukashenko showed audacity of forcing Irish plane, which was flying from Greece to Lithuania, to land in Belarus! International community condemned this act in the strongest words as it is violation of Chicago convention on air traffic. Belarus authorities released one video after some time wherein Roman confessed his involvement in protest in Belarus. Roman is a member of Nexta a banned media organization in Belarus. It is just matter of time that he will get death penalty.

Belarus land lock country is a former USSR state. After break up of USSR, it became an independent nation. Alexander Lukashenko is the President of Belarus since 1994. He was just 40 years old when he became the president! Over the period of time, he has turned himself into a dictator as any other communist leaders do. He held election on 2020 which were termed as disputed election by international community. His last 27 years of rule has been similar to any other communist dictator like Stalin, Mao etc. Freedom of expression, social liberty, equality of law, justice, freedom of choice has been largely curtailed. Dissident and opposition leaders are largely in exile. He is surviving last so many years due to strong support of Vladimir Putin. Putin has supported him in this highjack episode as well.

Since the inception of communist ideology, it has created numerous dictator in the world. Today, most of the former USSR states are controlled by communist dictators. China, North Korea, Libya (Gaddafi), Iraq (Saddam), Syria (Asad), Afghanistan (Dr. Nabib), Cuba (Fidel Castro) to name few have seen merciless communist dictators. Each of these dictators’ hand is full of blood of their own people.

We must thank god that we Indians could get rid of them from West Bengal and Tripura. CM of one state is murder accused and people have given him second term now. But we know how judiciary works in India. As if this was not enough, we have now a CM named Stalin! We need to eradicate this menace from India because communism and humanity are not compatible to each other.
