Thus both the gov­ern­ment and op­po­si­tion politi­cians (and their re­spec­tive mouth­pieces) are at­tempt­ing to slaugh­ter Nizam Mo­hammed as a sac­ri­fi­cial lamb in or­der to ap­pease the fright­ened Africans who fear In­di­an hege­mo­ny in the coun­try-and right­ly so. And whether there is a ba­sis for this fear or not is be­side the point. In pol­i­tics, per­cep­tion is re­al­i­ty. And in pol­i­tics, noth­ing suc­ceeds but suc­cess it­self. And the politi­cians are quite aware of this phe­nom­e­non. Thus they have con­ve­nient­ly tossed the eth­nic ball in­to your court, with jus­ti­fi­ca­tion, be­cause the supreme law of the land has cast the oner­ous bur­den up­on the Pres­i­dent of the Re­pub­lic of re­mov­ing a mem­ber of the Po­lice Ser­vice Com­mis­sion. You are the man (if I may re­spect­ful­ly crave your in­dul­gence to say it this way) who is now in the hot seat. I dare say that Nizam's ut­ter­ances on the eth­nic im­bal­ance in the Po­lice Ser­vice at this fo­rum were not saga­cious, but is that suf­fi­cient cause for his re­moval? What­ev­er de­ci­sion Your Ex­cel­len­cy makes must not be based on po­lit­i­cal ex­pe­di­en­cy, but on the rule of law. This much you owe pos­ter­i­ty and your coun­try. May God give you the wis­dom, strength and courage to make the right de­ci­sion. Jus­tice for All
