Whatever has happened was not unexpected. The fear of it was already there because Congress’s soft-Hindutva policy is not hidden from anyone. But still there was some hope that such a move will not be made as, on the face of it, there was no need of this issue [of saffron terror] being brought up at the AICC’s session at Jaipur. And the manner in which the Home Minister brought up the issue gave the impression that UPA Government was equipped with all the necessary tools required for and was determined to cut the BJP to size. But, alas, the fear proved to be true and the hope got defeated
In view of BJP’s threat to disrupt the Budget session of the Parliament Suhsil Kumar Shinde’s “regret”, which is an apology, carries several connotations and nuances with it. Despite enjoying political strength, by offering apology the ruling alliance the Congress has accepted its defeat and has proved that it is weak and is at the mercy of the opposition. It means that only if the opposition so desires can the Parliamentary proceedings be allowed and if it decides not to allow the Parliament to run smoothly then the Government has no mechanism to bring the opposition on the right track.
This will also mean that, having succeeded and having won in its protest, if the BJP—or, indirectly the RSS—may also demand that the names and identities of Samjohta Express, Maligaon, Mecca Masjid, and Ajmer blasts accused should not be made public so that it is never known to the public which of the saffron organisation they belong to. They may also ask that the accused be presented as individuals and the names of their backers and the organisation working behind them are not revealed. In such a scenario will the Home Minister apologise for having revealed the detailed identities of the accused? This would simply mean that it is alright to publicise family genealogy of Muslim suspects while nothing, except their names, be revealed of saffron accused so that saffron network may remain intact and continue with its programme.
Shinde’s apology is yet another proof of Congress’s soft Hindutva. Perhaps the Congress and its allies were worried about the consequences of the truth that had come out in Shinde’s Jaipur statement. This may be the reason why the Congress thought it appropriate to surrender before the BJP but did not realise the immense humiliation for the parties in UPA specially to Congress’ self-projected image with reference to freedom struggle. It would have been more honourable to show steadfastness and sacrifice the government than apologising for a truthful statement made in Jaipur. Perhaps they do not remember the saying that it is better to live for one day like a lion than to live for a hundred years like a jackal.
What is Congress and what is BJP.
ReplyDeleteThey are the two faces of the same coin. How can we tell them apart? Yes we can easily tell them apart by two incidents where the two parties indulged into mass murdering of non-Hindus. In the year 1984 Hindus in the guise of congress killed the Sikhs and in the year 2002 the same Hindus in the guise of BJP killed Muslims. Going in the depth and details will yield no results hence let’s keep it simple.
These two parties take turns or say get elected to rule and make money. It is time for the congress party to make the money and if BJP comes to power they will also do the same.
Shinde is a planner and he plans well and to succeed in the next election he will have to appease the minorities and how does he do that
He tells the minorities that the saffron orgs are out there training their members in the art of terrorism and while all hell breaks loose among the saffronites /Hindus he quietly hangs Afzal Guru and the Saffronites are suddenly silenced. Now the Muslims are mad at the congress and they want to know why. Congress/Shinde bombs Hyderabad and hell breaks loose among the Muslims as the Hindu brand police start questioning Muslim youths and all of a sudden you see the Muslims are quiet about the Afzal /Bhagyalaxmi/Kashmir/Togadiya/Dhule issues. They and their politicians go in hibernation and will surface only during the time of the elections.
BJP with it’s ulema e ahley BJP start campaigning and Congress with their own brand of Ulema e ahley Congress do the harm. The votes get divided to make way for another round of Congress/BJP rule in India.
When Karnataka went to BJP, the BJP high command thru the CM and Reddy’s made enough money to fund anything the party needs to, to get reelected. Burn a few churches/Masjids and the Hindus again vote for the ones behind the burning.
Shinde/congress is playing his part so that Congress wins and BJP are playing their part to win. Mara ja raha hai musalmaan. But we are smart and we are writing against these corrupt people. It is a matter of time when we will take over from these corrupt people and make India a better place for people from all walks of life.
What do we muslims need to do? We need to educate one another and be a one community.
