Old age remains curse

Undoubtedly, old age is intricate. It is wholly natural. After middle age, one enters old age. As a result, all the bodily unease begins to surround them for additional years of life. It is more often made by them more special by their usual thinking. Here, it would be safe to say definitely that they try to live their precious life in finer manner. Older people become weak or helpless. They are bound to seek the help of others who show a humane attitude towards them. In turn, they feel good about their kindness. It is relatively safer to say that utter dismay & weakness somehow bring sadness to them. One aged person said that the weakness of the human body is a curse, straightly. It is the most vital boon from the Almighty. If the bodily weakness surrounds the human body, it compels us at least to realise the importance of good health.

Muslim candidates

The big news does reveal that the ruling party is thinking of fielding a single Muslim candidate in the Uttar Pradesh assembly by-elections.

Following the election of sitting SP MLA Zia Ur Rehman from UP's Sambhal constituency to the Lok Sabha, the seat has fallen vacant.

When Asaduddin Owaisi raised the issue of Muslims having only 4 per cent of MPs in the present Lok Sabha, this significant news drew everyone's attention lately. 

He also maintained that the OBC members have become equal to the upper caste members. Muslims come here just to vote. This well-prepared information by Owaisi brought up a vital point. 

Muslims now account for only 4.42% of Lok Sabha's total strength, the second-lowest share of all time. After a record 49 Muslim MPs (9.04% of the House) were elected in 1980, and 45 Muslim MPs (8.3% of the House) were elected in 1984, the number of Muslims in Lok Sabha has never crossed 40.

Muslims are enumerated only for the purpose of voting; they are not provided with the opportunity to increase their number as elected candidates. If nothing else, this fact should serve as a reminder to all of us to close the gap between our low numbers and successful members.
