Appeasement of Minorities - An Old Ritual before elections begin...


Yesterday all across the media, the topic was appeasement of minorities. The way all political parties are trying to appease minority, noticeably Muslim community before elections is testimony of the fact that they don't have permanent ideology. The ideology which can help them win the seats, these parties quickly adopt them.

Rajnath Singh's - BJP Party Chief statement yesterday in which he has apologized to Muslim community is a glaring example of the same. BJP's emergence at the national level was based on his hardcore Hindutva issue. Every citizen of the country knows that. Babri Masjid demolition was architect and executed by senior-most members of the party and many of them still exists in the ranks of the party. So, few quetions that come to anyone's mind is :

1) What was that he was apologizing for? Is he apologizing for Babri Masjid demolition?
2) Is he ready to forego Ram Mandir issue for the sake of minority appeasement?
3) Does he feel that Gujarat riots was the fault of BJP core brass in the state?

I feel that such statements by Rajnath Singh indicates the growing nervousness in the party ranks on isolating Minority base due to Modi hardcore Hindu image. Or it may have done to create confusion in Muslim community and an attempt to divide Muslim voter base.

Similarly, one may look at Samajwadi Party methods of Minority appeasement. He make sure he wears skull cap at every event which covers Muslim community but when it comes to protection of any religion community, his govt has terribly failed, both pre as well as post Muzzafnagar riots. As a state govt, it was his duty to protect every innocent citizen, irrespective of majority / minority community.

Congress is another big loud mouthed protector of Minority communities. The current Congress party is the biggest failure when it comes to implementation of its patriarch Mahatama Gandhi's dream of a secular India where all communities live together and thrive. The Congress policies in past two decades from Mandal Commission to other measures has created several divisions among the religions and castes across the country.

But it is sad for this land is that citizens of this country still believe in them and follow them. They have been fooled so many times and no hope till now exists which can actually get India rid of this menace.

Jai Hind!!!
