Congress Found Its Voice — Sadly, Only at the Cinema Hall

🔥 SCREAMING SILENCE: When Injustice Was National, the congress Slept — But a movie Finally Woke Them Up


There is a strange, almost theatrical irony playing out in indian politics today. When data-borders were breached, when states burned, when democracy was quietly bruised in state after state, silence ruled. But the moment a film held up an uncomfortable mirror, outrage suddenly found its voice. This is not just hypocrisy — it is a collapse of moral priority. And nowhere is this contradiction more glaring than in the conduct of the Tamil Nadu Congress, which slept through national crises but sprang to life to demand a ban on Parasakthi.




• Arunachal Pradesh wasn’t just “disputed” — it was intruded upon.
Chinese aggression along the Arunachal Pradesh data-border raised serious national security questions. Maps were altered, villages renamed, patrols blocked. This wasn’t fiction. This wasn’t symbolism. This was sovereignty under pressure. Yet, tamil Nadu congress chose dignified silence — as if this was happening in some distant continent, not India.


• Manipur burned while political consciences froze.
Ethnic violence ripped through Manipur. Homes were destroyed, lives lost, women brutalized, and civil order collapsed for months. Where was the thunderous opposition? Where were the protests, the state-wide condemnations, the moral fury? Missing. Absent. Conveniently muted.


• Democracy was dismantled — one state at a time.
Elected governments were toppled, agencies weaponized, dissent criminalized, and institutions bent to serve power. If democracy is strangled quietly, history remembers those who stayed silent more harshly than those who acted.


• Crony capitalism flourished while people struggled.
A handful of corporate giants prospered obscenely, while inflation crushed the middle class and unemployment haunted the youth. Public wealth was privatized. Losses were socialized. This wasn’t ideology — it was organized economic extraction. And still, no outrage.


• Silence, silence, silence — until cinema intervened.
All of this was apparently acceptable. All of this deserved restraint. But a movie — a work of art, a narrative, a reflection — suddenly crossed the line. Tamil Nadu congress Committee found its spine only when portrayed unflatteringly on screen.


• ‘Parasakthi’ didn’t create damage — it exposed discomfort.
The demand to ban the film isn’t about misinformation. It’s about insecurity. When art unsettles power, censorship becomes the last refuge of political cowardice.


• This isn’t about ideology. It’s about credibility.
You cannot ignore invasions, massacres, and democratic erosion — and then claim moral authority over a movie. Outrage doesn’t work like a switch you flip when convenient.




🚨 Final Blow


history doesn’t judge parties by how loudly they protest films — it judges them by how fiercely they defend people.
If data-borders can be crossed, states can burn, democracy can bleed — and still not provoke resistance — then the problem isn’t the ruling party alone.


It’s the opposition that forgot what opposition is supposed to mean.

This isn’t political strategy anymore.
It’s a selective conscience. And the public is watching.
