Phir Milenge, Pramod

By John Cheeran
I’m not a blind supporter of any political party.
Pramod Mahajan’s death is not a loss that affects only BJP but India as well.
Mahajan’s death, felled by his blood brother’s bullets, is the ultimate political tragedy in independent India’s history. India has lost more illustrious leaders than Mahajan but the circumstances in which Mahajan had to bid farewell, battling for 12 days at the Hinduja Hospital, resembled a Shakespearean tragedy.
Brother turns against brother. Fratricide.
Mahajan was considered to be the ace fixer for BJP. A negotiator with never fading smile, it baffles me that Pramod could not win through an argument or that he left an argument unresolved with his brother that led to his downfall.
How fickle life is. How mysterious is God’s will..
On that fateful Saturday morning, Pramod was at the safest of place on planet earth.
At home, with his wife.
What tragedy could have befell on him when he was reading the morning papers?
It is always difficult to guess other man’s designs. We all can only submit ourselves to God’s will.
Phir Milenge, Pramod!
