Why Not They Be Hanged Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Why not they be hanged

Why not they be hanged?
As country's defense is mismanaged
They have put country to shame
When squarely can be passed the blame

Right from the independence
The ruling party had involved in such incidences
Right from Krishna Menon* to purchase of boors gun
The country's defense was neglected in turn

Recently also it is focused on purchase of Augusta Westland Helicopters
Do they not feel shame for conduct when they compromise on orders?
Corner with fat commission and compromise national interest
They should shunted behind bars with confiscation entire property registered in family's name

How long we shall grant special status
To the politicians, murderers and thieves
Who approach highest land out of turn!
Get bail and move with freedom like in heaven

If judiciary has powers to appoint judges
Let them not wait for anybody and manage
How they did not take any action so far?
Now they assert it is within their powers

Let country not suffer
I heard the country had three days ammunition to counter
What sort of preparedness the previous regime offered?
Now they make hue and cry and don't allow parliament affairs

Krishna Menon: - former defense minister
