In the last 30 yrs ,you have done a remarkable job as President of Egypt.You have brought stability and peace in Egypt ,thus ensuring development and progress.You have survived six assassination attempts, prevented radical islamist movements and maintained peace with Israel.Your efforts have ensured peace talks between Hamas and Israel.But man, you are 82 now and you have ruled for 30 long yrs ,its time you quit from active pol tics and spend some quality time with your grandchildren.Look monarchy,dictatorship are the things of past ,people want independence ,they want "DEMOCRACY".One man might be more intelligence than millions put together but he can't be right all the time.Your policies have not yielded much success.Egypt ranks 111 out of 177 countries in Human Development index.
Since1967, people in your country have been living under emergency law.Police powers have been extended ,constitutional rights suspended and censorship is legalised under this law.Even street demonstrations are illegal.You have detained around 17000 people without any trial.It is estimated that you have 30000 poltical prisoners.Anyone who opposes your regime goes missing the next day.Do you think these things are fair?Egypt belongs to the people of Egypt ,not to you and your family, they have every right to speak .
Media is suppressed and it publishes what the govt. wants it to.That's why a/c to Reporters without borders Egyptian media ranks 133 out of 168 in freedom of press.Your regime has led to rampant corruption ,you increased your powers to prolong your stay.But that has led to more attrocities against ordinary citizens.Your policies have favoured your family and the elites,thus widening the gap between the rulers and the ruled.
The most important thing is that you have lost support of the masses ,they want you to step down and you must step down.I dont ask you to flee Egypt,or else army will take over.But you step down, arrange for true democratic elections within a month.But first of all withdraw emergency,release all poltical prisoners, free the media.
It's better to live as a national hero than die as a rogue president
Yours faithfully
Pratyutpanna Das
