Yesterday,
Thursday 11 December 2014, people of Mauritius and Rodrigues followed live on
TV and several private and national radio/s the results of the general
elections in all 21 circumscriptions till late at night. The results came as a
surprise. There have been 10 elections since the independence – 1976-2010, and
since then there was never such a low level of participation from voters as
witnessed yesterday for these general elections 2014. And this despite the dominance
of the two main great political blocs in the electoral campaign, with private,
regional and national meetings! We learnt that the two main alliances, the
PTR/MMM Alliance and also the People’s Alliance (MSM/PMSD/ML) spent a little
more than 73 million rupees in only 2 months of electoral campaign.
When
one hears about the course of the electoral campaign, especially between the
two political adversary blocs, there was the display of hatred and other
vulgarities. In many places political agents have been spoiled rotten with free
provision of food and alcoholic drinks, and they got several fuel bonds so that
they may use their cars (for the electoral campaign). They abused of such
monies and enjoyed a lot, spreading money like confetti (that is, spending
money in vain things).
Therefore,
I come back today on the dream that I made prior to the fixed date for the
general elections. I dreamt of Sir Anerood Jugnauth in a beautiful coat, very
chic and he was in the car with me and I was asking him several questions. When
I enquired with him about Paul Raymond Berenger, he told me that he was not a
traitor, and it was a strategy which he used when he decided to walk with the
Labour Party (PTR); what I omitted to say (publicly) is that in the dream I
told him: “Oh, it is to remove Navin Ramgoolam as the Prime Minister and the
useless people around him who used their power ruthlessly against the people
(of Mauritius)!”
Now,
I relate to you a recent Vision (Kashaf) which overcame me on the 07 December
2014. On that day the two main political blocs held there grand meetings before
the elections of 10 December 2014. It was after Namaz Zuhr and Asr, and I was
in my office looking for my driving license when suddenly I felt very weak and
I had to sit down a bit when suddenly this vision overcame me. The vision
lasted 15-20 minutes. I was shown many heads of the Labour Party were falling
down and when the vision ended, I understood that in response to the prayers
that I made since a long time now against this ruthless Government which is
making the people suffer, thus I came to know (there and then) what shall
happen to them in the coming elections. And on the spot, a thought crossed my
mind that the Mauritian Militant Movement shall not also be spared – when one
walks with dirt, one is bound to get the bad odour of that dirt around him –
and it is verily what happened!
