Tamil Nadu CM Karunanidhi knows he will never be forgiven by his people

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK patriarch M. Karunanidhi seems to be a desperate man these days. His comments, reactions and flip-flops on the on-going genocide of Tamils by the Rajapaksa regime (in the latest war crime, they have just massacred over a thousand civilians using cluster bombs, white phosphorus and other banned chemical weapons) would be amusing, if it were a movie or a play.

But this is no movie or play – thousands of men, women and children (both born and unborn) are being butchered and used as human shields by the genocidal Sri Lankan army as they advance and occupy a supposedly “no-fire zone”, the civilian toll is simply unimaginable and constitutes the worst war crimes of the 21st century. In this genocide without witness, where civilians are starved, denied medicines and then murdered in cold blood using banned weapons, all carried out in a planned, cold-blooded manner in the absence of journalists and humanitarian aid workers, Mr. Karunanidhi is aware that he is an accomplice.

It is a script gone terribly wrong for the octogenarian script writer – the man who likes to call himself the “leader of world Tamils”. His attempts to plead that he is helpless, tearful, concerned etc. all go against what everyone is aware of. Along with rogue regimes of the world, the Indian establishment is actively supporting the genocide by supplying weapons, money and blocking efforts to bring the genocide to the notice of the world and Mr. Karunanidhi’s DMK is one of the largest constituents of what is left of the UPA regime.

The CM had stated months ago: If this (UPA) government cannot stop the war and the killings of Tamils, we have to wonder whether we need such a government. That was when the script writer collected the resignations of TN MPs and held them, ready to forward them to the Speaker. So much Tamil blood has been spilled in Eelam since then, with the UN shamelessly admitting that over 4,500 civilians were killed and more than 10,000 injured in the last three months alone and the situation of civilians is catastrophic. That’s not including the one thousand murdered yesterday and hundreds being killed as you read this, not to mention the tens of thousands starving and thousands detained in barbed-wire fenced concentration camps in inhuman conditions and subject to degrading treatment by the world’s most notorious armed forces.

Yet, Mr. Karunanidhi has not only performed several flip-flops since then, the DMK is actually contesting the Parliamentary elections in alliance with the hated Congress party! What does Mr. Karunanidhi think? That the people of Tamil Nadu are fools? That the people of Tamil Nadu don’t have an ounce of sanity or humanity left in them? That the people of the state will be fooled by the drama that is being enacted by the octogenarian script writer whose only concern seems to be the completion of his 5-year term and ensuring a line of succession within his family? If that’s the case, someone in the DMK needs to give their leader a dose of reality, for the their own good!

The DMK has come a long way and it should know this well. Way back in 1965, when the people of Tamil Nadu were betrayed by the TN Congress party leaders to please their bosses in Delhi, they were taught a stinging lesson in the 1967 elections. The Congress was annihilated completely in Tamil Nadu. The DMK and its splinter groups have controlled the regional politics since then. How times have changed! In an unbelievable twist of fate, when electoral history is going to repeat itself, the DMK faces complete annihilation along with its beloved ally – the Congress whose candidates, including several Union Ministers, are going to bite the dust in the most humiliating manner possible, losing their deposits!

Mr. Karunanidhi knows this very well. He also knows that any amount of spin by his media channels or any further acts of drama that he may stage, like sending letters and telegrams to the Prime Minister cannot fool the people – I have lost count of the “appeals”, “letters” and other non-sensical stuff that the TN CM has done, knowing very well that the only thing that would have worked, the only action that could have saved thousands of lives, was forwarding those resignations that he had so eagerly collected.

This is what worries the “leader of world Tamils” – not the fact that his inaction on this life-and-death issue has resulted in the loss of thousands of innocent lives. He is worried because he knows that his DMK is going to be buried in the same grave as his beloved alliance partner. For a politician, author and script writer who has churned out innumerable stories, plays and movie scripts, this is a real life script that has gone bloody horribly wrong!

Mass Conversions in India – Destroying Cultures and Families

By Vikay Paul

A Tamil advertisement posted by a Church trying to fool uneducated Hindus by claiming that Hinduism is been derived from Christianity

Toronto, Canada (CHAKRA) — Why are so many religious conversions in India going unnoticed? The majority of the population there is quick to point out that “Hindu Fundamentalists have done….,” or that “The BJP, Hindu Nationalist Party is fanatical,” when such parties bring to attention the problem of forced conversions in the country. All citizens of India who are influenced by giant media sources such as NDTV and IBN easily point out the “Hindu fanatics,” but fail to see the growing existence of Christian missionaries throughout the so called secular country.

Christian missionaries come in huge numbers to India, most of who are from the Southern states of the United States. They enter the country with claims of humanitarian-secular acts to help with compassion, the disadvantaged, poverty-stricken population of India. However, when examined closely, out of their “compassionate acts” emerge thousands and thousands of new converted Christians. The disadvantaged populations of India are manipulated and taken advantage of by means of financial support and food as well as guidance towards Jesus through gradual force. They are given education and put into labelled secular schools with Christian names in which students are fed lines from the bible while they are fed a lunch they previously did not have the means for.

If this is not an act of complete manipulation that what is? Why is the Indian government allowing such organizations into the country in the first place, especially when their agenda is so clear? In addition, when a Hindu soul decides to do something about such conniving acts, why is it printed as a first page story on a national news media source titled something in the line of “Hindutva Group Hindering Freedom.”? As in other countries such as Pakistan or Bangladesh with Muslim majorities, who sustain and fight for their religion, why can’t Hindus do the same for their countries religion without getting criticism from fellow Hindus? How has a country’s majority, including the government become so blind to such appalling act’s that hinder and take advantage of religious freedom? No one should be forced into following a religion they do not wish to follow. Instead, in India, thousands and thousands are baptized in masses. There is literally a mass production of Christians in India, as if they are factory products that need to be relabelled as fast and as efficiently as possible. Victims are gathered in an area together where a baptizing procession takes place. They line up for the holy bath, quickly poured down on them, and that’s it. They must now follow the teachings of Jesus.

It is one thing to see such brutal acts but it is another to see it yet do nothing about it. I as an NRI Indian am truly ashamed to be a part of a country who participates in allowing such amoral acts. The solution to such a problem can only be devised if Hindus unite and form groups/organizations that fight against conversions in India and help to drive these people out. It starts first by voting for the party that will support Hindu rights—parties like the BJP. Such parties are not conservative right winged religion Hindu parties. Even though they have been titled as the Hindu Nationalist party, their views are very liberal and in line with the secular perspective. However, they strive to protect the rights of the majority of India because they see the risk and threat there is to this majority. People must act together and not be fooled by the headlines of mass media but rather question them and analyze them with true facts and personal experiences. Believe it or not, one’s own experience can help a lot in understanding such headlines. If you do not see or face what is claimed in anti-Hindu media, then there is a high chance that the facts are bogus. Experiences, one’s surroundings and knowledge are key to understand the injustices that the Indian government is currently taking part in, by allowing such missionary groups into India. The effects need to be examined and we need to be aware of the consequences for India as a country in the future.

Converting Hindus to Hindutva

POLITICS

Converting Hindus to Hindutva

AJOY ASHIRWAD MAHAPRASHASTA

Interview with D.R. Goyal, writer and historian.

SHANKER CHAKRAVARTY

D.R. Goyal joined the RSS as a schoolboy but realised within a few years that its professions were not all true.

D.R. GOYAL is known to have written the most authentic account of the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS), in 1978. He was an RSS member from 1942 to 1947. His analysis of the hate-mongering culture of the RSS since Independence has earned him great respect in academic circles. As a school student, he joined the RSS, which projected itself as one of the organisations fighting for India’s independence, but it did not take him long to realise that the organisation’s professions were not necessarily true. Since then, he has been a chronicler of various developments in this “cultural” organisation. In 1962, when he was a Delhi University lecturer, he set up a unit of the Communist Party of India at the university. He later joined Subhadra Joshi (then Member of Parliament from Jabalpur, who also holds the distinction of having defeated Atal Bihari Vajpayee) to form the Sampradayikta Virodhi Manch. The organisation is at present named the Qaumi Ekta Trust. He has also written a biography of Maulana Hussain Ahmed Madani of Dar-ul-Uloom and is now working on a book on Indian madrassas. In an interview to Frontline, the author of Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh elaborates on how the present crisis within the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is historically linked to the RSS.

How do you understand the present crisis in the BJP? What is the role of the RSS in influencing the BJP’s recent decisions such as the expulsion of Jaswant Singh, the sidelining of Yashwant Sinha, or the issuing of a show-cause notice to Arun Shourie?

First of all, I would say that the present situation in the BJP is like the Mahabharat. Kauravas and Pandavas fighting each other. Instead of Krishna coming and trying to solve [the conflict], the RSS jumps in. Though it has always been influencing it, for the first time the RSS chief has come and issued a public statement before the Chintan Baithak of the BJP. He made a statement on TV that older people should retire and the leadership should be given over to people in their 50s and 60s. This kind of thing has never happened earlier.

Another feature of Mohan Bhagwat’s visit to Delhi was that he did not even show the courtesy of visiting the ailing Atal Bihari Vajpayee, who was a major leader of the political formation founded by the RSS in 1951. Vajpayee was at that time attached to Shyama Prasad Mookerjee and until the other day he led the party and the BJP government for six years. So, an ordinary human courtesy required that the head of an institution that founded the BJP should visit him. Not necessarily for any consultation, but even Vajpayee’s advice, if he could speak, would have been useful because he knew people more. Advani, in fact, came into the political scene much later, only in the 1960s. Before that he was only an RSS pracharak. Now it seems that Mohan Bhagwat has displayed a preference for Advani over Vajpayee, which means that he has rejected all those people who were with Vajpayee.

In other words, for Bhagwat, Jaswant Singh, Arun Shourie, Yashwant Sinha and all these people are personae non gratae. He didn’t talk to any of them whereas he talked to everyone who was either with Rajnath Singh or with Advani. For him, the BJP means only those who are with Rajnath or Advani. The result of this was that in the Chintan Baithak of the BJP, no one could discuss the reasons for its defeat, which was the purpose of the meeting. If it had happened, discussions on ideology would have come in. The RSS did not want that. All these days, there have been discussions only about the real role of Hindutva. Although Advani tried to undermine it, he is known to be a person who is attached to Hindutva.

In 2002, Vajpayee was in favour of dismissing [Narendra] Modi, but Advani defended him. So in the RSS’ view, Advani is the real RSS man, a defender of the RSS’ ideology, not Vajpayee. Therefore anybody who is attached to Vajpayee has to be discarded.

Now what is the way ahead? Bhagwat says that he can only advise them [BJP leaders] but cannot suggest. In other words, he doesn’t want to take names although he has talked to all these people collectively as well as separately. Talking to [Arun] Jaitley, [Sushma] Swaraj, [Venkaiah] Naidu, Ananth Kumar means he was talking to people who were against Rajnath. Therefore, he talked separately to Rajnath.

Another thing to be noticed is that Bhagwat went to Murli Manohar Joshi’s house for lunch and didn’t go to anybody’s house until then. Murli Manohar Joshi had not come to meet him. He, therefore, went to his house. In other words, the RSS has a soft corner for Joshi also. That is why there is talk that there might be a place for Joshi either as the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha or as president of the BJP. What happened at the meeting, one doesn’t know; because the RSS makes statements that are partial. It has never abdicated its role as the real mentor of the BJP, or even the Jana Sangh. When the Jana Sangh was founded, Shyama Prasad Mookerjee was told by [M.S.] Golwalkar to set up an organisation and the RSS would give it its cadre but only on condition that its ideology would be promoted. So this was a political party of the RSS meant to promote Hindutva, which also means Hindu nationalism. Therefore, if the BJP does anything against the minorities, the RSS has no objection to it – be it the 2002 Gujarat carnage or Kandhamal and Karnataka in 2008. The RSS speaks only when there is a crisis inside the BJP’s organisation.

Why do you think not talking about ideology in the Chintan Baithak of the BJP would be beneficial for the RSS?

If they didn’t come out with any kind of discussions in the Chintan Baithak, it is because they didn’t want to disclose that there were people who were reporting to the RSS. What does Bal Apte’s report mean? That ideology was one of the reasons for the defeat. The RSS was never bothered about the future or fate of the political party. Ideology is prime. Therefore, Rajnath in his own defence repeatedly says that there can be no dilution of the ideology.

In other words, whatever Golwalkar has said about nationalism, whether it was his book We, Our Nationhood Defined or later on in Bunch of Thoughts, still holds. In We, Our Nationhood Defined he said that the minorities would have no rights except as second-class citizens unless they accepted the culture of the Hindus. In other words, unless they converted, they had no rights as citizens. And in the other book, Bunch of Thoughts, he says that there are three enemies of nationalism: Muslims, Christians and communists. If they have to adhere to that ideology, they can’t have any alliance with any of these three. The sin of Vajpayee was that when confronted with a question on the dilution of Hindutva in the U.S., he said that unless the party had two-thirds majority, ideology couldn’t be implemented. So he becomes an unwanted person. Advani will never say that. Atal Bihari also defends the Gujarat carnage, Karnataka and Kandhamal implicitly because he doesn’t speak a word against these incidents.

Do you suggest that the present crisis is a fight between the Advani and Vajpayee camps and is doctored by the RSS?

You see, the RSS doesn’t need Vajpayee. He was tolerated, not accepted.
The RSS wants a young leadership in the BJP. In a way, all the present outcastes such as Jaswant Singh, Shourie and Yashwant Sinha are more than 70 years old. Young leaders like Jaitley and Sushma Swaraj are close to the RSS and also fall in the age bracket that Bhagwat suggested. Does it suggest some kind of remote controlling of the BJP by the RSS through a superficial talk of young leadership in order to sideline the people who were not close to it?

The idea of the youngsters is intended to promote the people who are from the RSS stream. The present crop of older leaders like Jaswant have not been trained in the RSS. The RSS knows that these people will not work for ideology. They will work for power. Until the BJP came to power, there was no problem between the RSS and the BJP. It was only in the 1990s, when there was a possibility of the BJP coming to power. At that time, there was a BJP conference in Bombay [now Mumbai]. There was also a parallel conference of the BJP that was addressed by the then RSS chief K.S. Sudarshan. He said that the BJP needed to be careful about the “corruption” that had entered in its ranks. A biography of Advani called Advent of Advani was issued. Even in this biography, it was suggested by the RSS that the BJP had got addicted to five-star cultures, which showed in the places where they conducted their meetings. Even the Shimla meeting was conducted in a luxurious hotel rather than a place suggested by the State government.
What has been the role of the RSS after Independence in determining the organisational decisions of the BJP and the Jana Sangh?

The RSS doesn’t only influence their decisions. The relationship between these political formations and the RSS ensures that the parties do not function independently. Political formations are meant to advance the ideology. In fact, earlier the RSS was not in favour of entering politics by itself. It thought unless it created an atmosphere in which its ideology was acceptable, it would not enter politics. “Our culture will be our politics,” it said. Therefore, it is very difficult for the RSS to enter politics directly or give up the influence it exerts in these political formations that it has created. That is the dilemma for the RSS.

Jaswant Singh was expelled on the grounds of writing something that violated the ideology of the RSS and the BJP. Even Arun Shourie came forward to confront the leadership of the party, but he was not expelled, perhaps because he is seen as a staunch Hindutva ideologue. Does this mean the RSS needs more people like Shourie who could engage intellectually with the civil society in favour of its ideology despite certain criticisms against it?

Once Arun Shourie was invited to preside over the Vijayadashami function, their annual function, in the Nagpur headquarters of the RSS. A person who has been invited to such a function is normally considered a promoter of the ideology, though he may not be close to the Sangh. Moreover, his objection to the functioning of the BJP is that the ideology has not been promoted in the way it should have been. Therefore, the RSS should take over, he means, but the RSS cannot do that. At the same time, Mohan Bhagwat had to say that he is a respected journalist and an intellectual.

So you think this is the reason the RSS has not been criticising Narendra Modi despite his efforts to distance himself from the RSS over the last few years?

Modi is doing what the RSS wants. The only problem between Modi and the RSS in Gujarat is that Modi has not been able to win over the castes that are against him.

Do you mean to say that the RSS is a very strong organisation? The only thing that matters to it is its ideology. Is it itself free from power politics?

The RSS is not free from power politics. Sometimes problems do arise, but it solves those by dissolving them. There has been a lot of discussion on whether pracharaks should marry or not and on matters such as these. But there has been no difference on ideology. For instance, the difference between Mohan Bhagwat and K.S. Sudarshan was on whether the organisation should tolerate a person like Advani or not. When Bhagwat left Delhi, Sudarshan met him in order to explain that he was not against him. In other words, the difference between the chief and ex-chief was about the treatment that should be given to Advani because there were complaints of “ideological corruption” against Advani also.

How different is Mohan Bhagwat from his predecessor Sudarshan? What difference does it make to the BJP? Since the influence of the RSS is so strong and Bhagwat for the first time came out speaking before the Chintan Baithak, could a step such as the expulsion of the president over any indiscipline be repeated in future? Jana Sangh presidents Mauli Charan Sharma and Balraj Madhok were expelled from the party on the RSS’ order. Advani was just asked to resign from the presidentship, though.

It doesn’t make any difference to the BJP. Bhagwat’s only problem is that he wants a younger generation to come up in the BJP. Sudarshan had also wanted this. He had said this to both Advani and Vajpayee. But Bhagwat went a step ahead to prescribe the age limit of the leadership (between 50 and 60). So Murli Manohar Joshi is also out in that way. He has not named any of them. But apart from the prominent four or five, it could also be Bal Apte and Ram Lal. These are people who are delegated in the BJP by the RSS to look after its political formation.

Jana Sangh president Balraj Madhok was expelled because he had written a letter that the organising committee should not be chosen by the RSS but be elected by the respective units of the Jana Sangh. They would be paid by the Jana Sangh, not the RSS. What Madhok meant was that the Jana Sangh should be detached from the RSS. Advani is not able to project such an approach though he says that the RSS should not interfere in the BJP’s day-to-day decisions. What does it mean? Does it mean the RSS should not appoint the organising secretary? His only objection is that the RSS should not speak up when the BJP makes a statement that the RSS is critical of. After the Jinnah controversy, Advani was just asked to resign and was not expelled because unlike Madhok he was ready to accept the terms and conditions of the RSS. Madhok was not prepared to accept the RSS’ diktat. Madhok made a very strong statement against the RSS after his expulsion in Ahmedabad.

THE HINDU PHOTO LIBRARY

M.S. Golwalkar, who believed that the minorities should have no rights except as second-class citizens.

In 1985, when the BJP took stock of the reasons for its abject defeat and Vajpayee was asked whether it marked a return to the Jana Sangh type of politics, he countered, “When did we get away from the Jana Sangh?” The Jana Sangh was openly a political unit of the RSS, which the BJP claims it is not. Even the RSS claims that. On November 6, 1977, however, he said exactly the opposite. “When we joined the Janata Party we had given up our old beliefs and faiths and there was no question of going back.” It was almost the same case with Advani regarding the question of Hindutva before the election. Is this some sort of ideological confusion or temporary dishonesty for political gains? What is that which prevents the BJP from charting its own path and emerge as a right-wing organisation with its own brand of Hindutva for political gains?

Neither of the two parties, the BJP or the Jana Sangh, has grown in politics. They have grown in the RSS. The RSS has put them in politics. Therefore, they have to surrender. There was a journalist who brought out a magazine called Mother India from Bombay. It was about the film industry, but there were editorials, which talked about politics. He once made a comment that Vajpayee says something but when it comes to the crunch, he goes and kneels before the RSS chief. There is no difference between the BJP and the RSS. I always say that the BJP grew by accident. The BJP grew because of the ideological mistakes committed by the Congress. First, Indira Gandhi destroyed all the second-rung leaders.

When Rajiv Gandhi came, he was an inexperienced politician. He took decisions that were not in conformity with his party. For example, he permitted the foundation stone of Ram Mandir to be laid in Ayodhya. He also changed the law in the Shah Bano case. He was almost doing what the BJP wanted to do. Before that in 1983, Mrs. Gandhi made speeches in Jammu and later in Delhi, which, according to [K.R.] Malkani, were in accordance with the ideology of the RSS. When you begin to walk in those lines, then naturally the other party becomes acceptable. So the Muslims, Dalits, OBCs [Other Backward Classes], all of them got alienated from the Congress. It was these mistakes of the Congress which led to the rise of Jana Sangh and then the BJP. If there was no Emergency, in 1977 how could a conglomerate of various parties come to power?

When the BJP makes statements accepting different cultures in India, they have never defined culture. In fact they have never differed from Golwalkar who said that religion is the basis of culture, in his book We, Our Nationhood Defined. If religion is the basis of culture, then those who do not believe in the Hindu religion are not a part of this culture. It is not even temporary dishonesty. It is just meant for public consumption, not for practice. People went gaga over Vajpayee’s tolerance, but was he able to dismiss Modi? Did he differ from Modi when Advani approved the killing of Graham Staines? The RSS was happy with a leader who tolerated the ideology.

You have shown in your book how the RSS believes in lie-mongering and has a convenient memory. Despite their claims of being the most nationalist force, Savarkar appealed for clemency from the British. In your book, you reproduced the apologetic letter by Balasaheb Deoras to Indira Gandhi during the time of Emergency so that they were not arrested. Almost in the same vein, Advani lied when he claimed ignorance about Jaswant Singh accompanying terrorists in the Kandahar hijack episode. Jaswant Singh called his bluff. What does this history suggest?

You see, they had basically no objection to the Emergency. In fact, Balasaheb Deoras, the RSS chief, told Indira Gandhi that if she was prepared to join them, they would help her to fight the communists. They were prepared to support the Congress. Even now, if the BJP adopts all the economic and foreign policies of the Congress, the RSS will have no objections. If one enemy can be fought with the help of the Congress, the RSS doesn’t mind it. Why do they go to Jinnah again and again? Now Jaswant Singh has gone overboard and therefore got expelled. Advani said Jinnah is a great man. One should understand that if you are a follower of Savarkar, you are bound to be a follower of Jinnah too. Savarkar in 1937, before the Pakistan resolution in 1940, had made a statement that Hindus and Muslims are two separate nations and cannot live together. The hue and cry is just because Jaswant Singh is not acceptable to the RSS and not about Jinnah.
Some in the RSS are repackaging ‘Hindutva’. Something like “anyone who is born in India is a Hindu”. Bhagwat even said that they are open to all. This goes against the Golwalkar (in his book Bunch of Thoughts, Chapter 10) and Savarkar. Both of them denounced territorial nationalism and strictly defined who is a Hindu. Only a person who embraces Hindu culture could be a Hindu. So do you see a shift in the ideology of the RSS or does that amount to the same thing? They have been using religiosity and nationality almost in the same vein, in terms of an all-encompassing Hindu nation.

S. SUBRAMANIUM

L.K. ADVANI at an RSS convention in Agra in May 2002.

No, this is a hypocritical deceit. The RSS does not come out in the open with anything. For example, the RSS would not support what Varun Gandhi said, but they would have no objection if you, like Modi, create a situation in which the minorities are killed. That is the difference. They realise that Hindus at large would not accept their original ideology. Therefore, they want to mould Hindus into their ideology. In fact, the idea is not to convert Muslims or Christians. The idea is to convert Hindus to Hindutva ideology. For them, the weakness lies with the Hindus.

Since you have spoken so much about Vajpayee, do you mean to say that Vajpayee was not a strong Hindutva ideologue himself?

For this, you have to go back to the genesis of the political formation. When, after 1948, the RSS was banned, there was a lot of discussion. In the old files of the Organiser between 1946 and 47, there are a whole lot of letters where people say that unless you advance into politics, you will not be able to defend yourself. Because when there was a ban on the RSS, there was nobody to defend it. If you want some defence, you have to take the plunge into politics. I remember one of those letters, which read, “Whatever cuts in politics, cuts in life.” This means whoever is effective in politics, he is also able to defend its ideological practice in life. Therefore, a political formation was created to defend what the RSS does, in its own name or in any other name. Whatever the Bajrang Dal or the ABVP [Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad] does, it is defended by the BJP.

You have always been an acute observer of the RSS both from inside and outside. Over all these years, what change have you seen in the working of the RSS?

M. KARUNAKARAN

AN RSS DRILL in progress at Thiruvanmiyur in Chennai on August 16. Goyal says the RSS no longer draws as many young boys as it used to.

One big change that I see is that the RSS now does not attract school students or even young college students. Youngsters in shakhas are slowly becoming invisible. Life has changed. A child would watch TV in the evening rather than go to a shakha. In the morning, they go to school. Therefore the ABVP is the recruiting ground for political work and violence. After all, where has Arun Jaitley come from?

Finally, where do you see the BJP going from here?

It is very difficult to find a suitable person to preside over the party. I don’t see any future for the party for the next 10 years, at least until 2014. In fact, I am sorry to say that the communists have blundered badly, otherwise, here was a chance [for them] to become the main opposition party.

Politics today is more fluid than it ever was. After Independence, the freedom fighters were dictating terms as long as they were alive. But today, ideology is there but idealism is no more there.

Spectrum Raja

The Union Minister of Telecommunications Mr. A. Raja, now being popularly known as SPECTRUM Raja has become a famous personality overnight. The Spectrum Scandal which has cost the government more than rupees 1 lakh crore is supposed to be the biggest scam the country has ever seen.

The Ministry of Telecommunications held by Raja is in charge for the allocation of Spectrum to the companies which offer mobile phone services in the country. In the year 2008, 2nd generation (2G) Spectrum for GSM service providers was allotted to the private players. There were a lot of controversies in the way Spectrum allocation took place by 2008 itself, now the minister’s office is being raided by the CBI for further investigation.

The Minister claims that there is no truth in the allegations against him; he says that whatever procedure was followed in the year 2001 has been adopted by him as well. But there were mere 50 lakh subscribers in the year 2001 compared to 37.5 crore mobile phone users by the end of March 2008; there has been an exponential growth in the Mobile Market which is known to all of us. The fact that the market has grown by leaps and bounds in between 2001 and 2008 is unquestionable.

In the year 2001 the government was shouldering the responsibility to nurture the mobile services market, therefore the Spectrum license was not auctioned then. Even the private players in the industry would not have anticipated such a colossal growth in the mobile services market. The Government was then in a position to motivate and attract private players to operate in the mobile services space.

But that is not the case in 2008. Both domestic as well as MNC players consider investing in Telecommunications extremely profitable. In this sort of a scenario if the government decides to fix the same price, following the same procedure as it did in the year 2001 then it would be a deliberate attempt to put too small a price for the 2G spectrum.

The Telecom Regulatory authority of India (TRAI) is a statutory body found by the government of India in 1995 to avoid excessive government interference in pricing and policy. The TRAI had advised the Telecom ministry to auction the Spectrum License in the years 2001, 2003, 2007 respectively. But the Telecom ministry held by Raja had completely neglected TRAI’s recommendations and allotted the 2G spectrum license on first come first serve basis. More than that fact, Mr. Mishra (TRAI - Head) in his letter dated 14th Jan 2008 to the Telecom Ministry had clearly pointed out that the Ministry has ignored all the crucial recommendations of TRAI and considered a few points for name sake.

The last date to submit applications for 2G spectrum was announced as 1st October 2007 by the ministry as on 24th September. Later an artificial cut-off date, Sep 25, 2007, was created and applications received between Sep 25 and Oct 1 were summarily rejected. (This in itself is a clear violation of TRAI’s guidelines).

Datacom Solutions, Yestel, Shyam Telelink, Loop Telecom, Spice, Idea Cellular, Tata Teleservice, Swan and Unitech were given license for 2G Spectrum. The total fee generated by the government for selling license to the above 9 companies is 10, 772.68 crore.

Out of the companies mentioned above, the two companies Swan and Unitech do not have any prior experience in the business of mobile phone, broadband or related services. Swan Telecom has obtained Spectrum license to operate in 14 circles for an amount of 1537.01 crore while Unitech has obtained license to operate in 22 circles by paying 1651 crore respectively.

Within a matter of six months these two companies have sold majority of their stake to foreign companies. Swan Telecom had sold 45% of its shares for a whopping amount of 4050 Crore to a company called Etisalat which is based out of UAE due to which the valuation of Swan Telecom had increased to Rs. 9990.56 crore. Unitech had sold 60% of its stares to a Norway based company Telenor for Rs. 6120 crore due to which the valuation of Unitech had increased to a monstrous amount of 10, 731 crore. Just by leveraging their ability to acquire Spectrum license, Swan and Unitech had made massive 700% return on their investment within a matter of six months.

Raja’s ministry made Rs. 10,772.65 crore by selling 2G license to 9 companies whereas Swan and Unitech just by selling half of their stake had proved the fact that their license is worth more than 20,000 crore. If we consider the market value of these two companies, the Government by selling license to these nine companies should have generated 70, 022.42 crore as license fee. In that way our country has incurred a loss of over Rs. 60, 000 crore.

The Central Vigilance had written a letter to the Telecom Department stating the irregularities in allocation of 2G Spectrum as on 15th of December 2008. It had clearly mentioned that it is highly disappointed with the way 2G Spectrum was licensed. Even after that, Raja while answering to a question in Parliament had told that 2G Spectrum was allotted on first come first serve basis; he had also mentioned that neither TRAI nor the Vigilance had raised objections, which is against truth.

TRAI head Mr. Mishra had clarified in an interview (December 2008) that nowhere in the guidelines or recommendations of TRAI it had mentioned that Spectrum needs to be allotted on first come first serve basis. The Chief of the Central Vigilance Mr. Prathyush Sinha had told in an interview (April 2009) that it is evident that there have been severe irregularities in 2G Spectrum allocation.

Despite all misshapes the Congress party, Prime Minister and the Finance Minister are trying to hold up the Telecom Minister A. Raja due to political pressure from the DMK which is obvious. In fact Raja has said on record that whatever he has done has been discussed and in consent with the Prime Minister. This very fact is even more shocking than the scam in itself.

Let us hope that the Congress led UPA government does not pressurize the CBI considering the interest of its ally, the DMK.

Jai Hind.

Umashankar I.A.S, a victim of Crony Capitalism. Thu, 2010-08-19 00:24 | Karthik.S UmaShankar.jpg C.Umashankar IAS, an honest and efficient officer j

C.Umashankar IAS, an honest and efficient officer joined the Indian Administrative Service in 1990. He started his journey as an assistant collector in 1992 in Mayiladuthurai, Nagapattinam district in Tamil Nadu. He questioned irregularities in cyclone relief work taking place in the area and was promptly transferred to Seiyar, Thiruvannamalai district. This is indeed is part of the vicissitudes in the professional life of an honest official.

When Umashankar was an additional collector in Madurai between February 1995 and October 1995, he filed corruption cases against then AIADMK minister Selvaganapathy in the “cremation ground shed” case. Thanks to this he was transferred and appointed as an additional director of the South Asian Federation Games in October 1995. The 1996 assembly election in Tamil Nadu resulted in regime change in Tamil Nadu and the DMK formed the next government. In June 1996, Umashankar was appointed as the Joint Vigilance Commissioner. He recommended the DMK government to take action against the former chief minister Jayalalitha and former ministers in the AIADMK government who were connected to various corruption cases. The DMK was more interested in reaping political benefit rather than really trying the culprits. He was disappointed with the government's response and sought to be relieved from the position. Umashankar was appointed as district collector of Thiruvellur district in February 1999. During this period he implemented e-governance project in Thiruvellur and Thiruvellur is the first e-governance district in Tamilnadu. This project got an international attention. Umashankar in Tamil Nadu, Sonal Misra in Gujarat and Sanjay Saju in Andra Pradesh are pioneers in e-governance.

Umashankar groomed himself as an IT and e-governance specialist and he brought many important discussions in e-governance's platform. He strongly argued that developing countries like India should adopt Free Software in e-governance implementation and other government funded projects. In his speech in the National Conference on Free Software which was held in Bangalore on March 20&21, 2010 he reiterated the above points which inspired the audience and injected into them the national importance of using Free Software in government funded project and embracing open standards in such projects. He continued as Thiruvarur collector in June 2001. In 2001 assembly elections the ADMK was voted back to power and Umashankar was transferred as Commissioner of Disciplinary Proceedings to Selam. It was a sort of punishment post.

Between 2001 and 2006, when he was working as commissioner of Disciplinary Proceedings he sharply observed what is happening in IT and e-governance and made necessary contribution as well as intervention to his capacity. One incident is worth quoting now. On April 27 2005, Umashankar wrote an e-mail to Satyanarayan who was then the CEO of NISG(National Institute of Smart Government), the subject line is 'Mr. Satyanarayan are you corrupt?'. The allegation that Umashankar levelled against Satyanarayan was that when the latter was the principal secretary of Communication and IT,he granted many projects to one particular corporation (Price Water House Coopers). Umashankar alleged that there could be an unlawful connection between Satyanarayan and the particular corporation and asked him to reply in 7 days. Srivasta Krishna IAS replied to that by saying that it's unacceptable to level such allegation against an IAS by another fellow IAS officer. Then Srivasta Krishna was working in World Bank, Washington DC, USA in deputation. In the reply Srivasta Krishna mentioned another important information about Umashankar that when Umashankar worked as deputy collector in Trichy between July 1994 and January 1995, he deposited the money that was allocated for ( DRDA - District Rural Development Agency) in the bank where his younger brother was working. This reply looks like 'Are you Mr. Perfect?'. Umashankar replied to Srivasta that he did not deposit the money in the bank where his younger brother is working. He stated that his brother was working in Trichy SBI and the money is deposited in Chennai SBI and he added that he deposited the money in Chennai SBI since the bank offered more interest ie between 11.5% and 13%. This deposit allegation against Umashankar was taken in 2004 by the ADMK government. We have already seen the relation between the ADMK and Umashankar. In the same reply Umashankar mentioned that Srivasta was trying to divert the allegation against Satyanarayan by replying something else and he questioned that when the benefits of e-governance reaches widows, pensioners, the poor and socially marginalized scheduled caste and scheduled tribes? If corruption is tolerated in e-governance, the benefits of e-governance reaching such people will be further delayed.


In May 2006, the DMK came back to power in Tamil Nadu. Umashankar's fame and experience in IT helped him in being appointed as the MD of ELCOT (Electronics Corporation of Tamil Nadu). He burned his mid night oil in executing important tasks. He worked as a software engineer by extending working hours and sometimes stayed in office. He proved that the government can save between 10% and 20% money when it goes for Free Software such as GNU/Linux and Open Office instead of Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office. He not only recommended Free Software to the government employees but also organized the training for them in Free Software. Besides that he developed a model of an ATM (Automatic Teller Machine) which runs on Free Software coasts only 1.5 lakhs where the proprietary alternative costs between 6 and 7 lakhs. Umashankar introduced ORCA,a Free Software screen reader to the visually challenged people where the proprietary alternative is Rs.20,000/= and more. He organized a training class for such people by Krishnakant Mane, a visually challenged person working for TIFR( TATA Institute of Fundamental Research – Mumbai).

An honest officer and a government indulged in rampant corruption, contradiction starts here! Honesty is the most hated word for the bourgeois politicians. For probing financial irregularities of Thiagaraja S Chettiar while in ELCOT and for condemning and recommending actions against the Arasu cable for it's unlawful actions, Umashankar has been taken revenge by the capitalist-political nexus.

ELCOT is a government of Tamil Nadu enterprise before Umashankar has been appointed as an MD, New Era Technologies (NET) of Thiagaraja S Chettiar and ELCOT jointly started a company called ELNET Technologies Ltd (ETL). ELCOT and NET owned 26% and 24% stack respectively the rest owned by the public. In 2004 ETL started a company called ETL Infrastructure. ETL Infrastructure is an 100% subsidiary company of ETL. Thiagaraja S Chettiar and his wife Unnamalai Thiagaraja were the chairman and the MD of ETL Infrastructure respectively. ETL Infrastructure availed a huge sum of loan by showing the ETL property. ETL Infrastructure owned 1,800,000 square feet land at Pallikarunai worth Rs.700 Cr. Umashankar wondered how ETL lost the control over a company, which started with the fund of ETL and availing huge loan in ETL's name. On July 28 2008, he went to ETL Infrastructure office at Tharamani in searching the documents related to ETL and ETL Infrastructure and retuned without success. As per regulations the MD of ELCOT would be the Chairman of ETL. Umashankar as the Chairman of ETL circulated a special resolution through ETL company secretary in ETL's Annual General Body Meeting on 30th July 2008, to remove Unnamalai Thiagarajan from the MD post. Thanks to that Umashankar was removed from ELCOT by the Tamil Nadu government.

Umashankar was appointed as an MD of Arasu cable on October 30 2008. He condemned the Sumangali Cable Vision's(SCV – a part of Sun Network) unlawful actions against the Arasu cable. In December 2008, He wrote a detailed letter to the office of Tamilnadu Chief minister and the Inspector General of Tamilnadu about Sumangali cable unlawful action and the dying necessary to take action against Sumangali TV. It's alleged that to interrupt Arasu cable telecasting, the cables of Arasu cable were cut by unidentified persons all over the state as per Sumangali's direction. It completely paralyzed the Arasu cable's telecasting. On January 7, 2009, Umashankar wrote to Karunanidhi that the only way to save Arasu cable is to nationalize the Sumangali cable. In order to divert this issue the Tamilnadu government gave a memo to Umashankar which alleged that Umashankar misused his power by granting some benefits to a company called Tessolve through his wife who was then working for Tessolve. Umashankar refuted this allegation with proper explanation. He said that 2.5 acre land allotted to Tessolve in Madurai IT park has been allotted to the company after the cabinet approval on September 28 2008. In October 2008, when Tessolve approached the TIIC (Tamil Nadu Industrial Investment Corporation) for a loan, he rightly intimated the government about his wife's employment with the concerned company and the loan was rejected . Such politically motivated actions against Umashankar had an adverse impact on his promotions. He was transferred as Commissioner of Small Savings on January 23 2009.

On May 6, 2010, Karunanidhi government started an inquiry against Umashankar without filling any case. On June 6, 2010, Umashankar filed an affidavit in Madras high court under the article 226 of constitution of India, challenging the enquiry. In the affidavit he mentioned that it's unconstitutional to enquire an IAS by an officer in the rank of DSP without registering a case. The court's judgement came in favour of Umashankar on June 16, 2010.

We've to wait and see the cases that will be filled against Umashankar and to see how the corrupted politician and the business class in forming an unholy alliance and the public and media's on this issue.

Karunanidhi is known for playing caste cards on sensitive issues. In 1999 Karunanidhi rejected action against the district collector and the police commissioner and other officials connected with Tirunelveli massacre in which 17 people were killed( and 11 of them were Dalits) by stating shamelessly that if the government take action against the officials “people belonging to the backward classes” would object to it. In 2010, Karunanidhi is taking action against an IAS officer by alleging that he produced fake community certificate. Many know that Umashankar was a Hindu when he was selected to the Indian Administrative Service and a few know that he embraced Christianity later. Every citizen has a right to practice the religion he/she likes and to change that as they wish. The problem for Karunanidhi is not that Umashankar produced fake community certificate, the real problem for Karunanidhi is that Umashankar may unearth many fraudulences in ELCOT and other areas which may unearth nexus between the bourgeoisie politicians and the business men.

Help build a temple, Hindu lawyer tells Muslims

Thursday, September 30, 2010 5:22:34 PM by IANS

Lucknow, Sep 30 (IANS) Ravi Shankar Prasad, a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and lawyer for one of the litigants in the Ayodhya land dispute, Thursday urged Muslims to help build a grand temple for the Hindu god Ram at the site where a makeshift temple now stands.Addressing reporters outside the premises of the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court, Ravi Shankar Prasad underlined that the judges had ruled by majority that the place where the makeshift temple for Ram was built in December 1992 after the razing of the Babri mosque is where Lord Ram was born.

“After this ruling, I make an humble appeal to the Muslims of this country, please accept this verdict, please help in the construction of a temple… It will lead to a new brotherhood in the country,” he said.

The lawyer added that he was making the appeal not as a BJP leader but as a citizen of India.

Saffron Terror: An Analysis

By: Bandyopadhyay Arindam
Sep-09-2010

Recently when he tried to highlight the phenomenon of "Saffron Terror", for a moment one wondered whether our Home Minister, Mr. P Chidambaram was suffering from a selective and specific form of color-blindness and was seeing saffron instead of green, red or white. But soon it became clear that it was not a casual statement or even a cheap political gimmick because despite protest from political opponents and even from members of his own party, he stood firm on his statement and justified that he wanted to make a point and sent home a message.

As such, India"s reputation in countering terrorism is dismal at best but one shudders to imagine of having a malicious Home Minister who is unable and likely unwilling to judge the true color of terrorism.

One may recall that not too long ago, while he was the Finance Minister, Mr. P Chidambaram once commented that India was never a rich country. A more patriotic effort on his part would have enlightened him that in the past two millennia, till the pre- colonial days, India contributed to about a quarter of the world GDP. One would have expected him to know that the numerous invaders of Bharat, throughout the centuries, starting from the Greek Alexander, through the Arabic marauders and down to the European colonials, all came to this country only because they wanted to loot her wealth and riches. America was accidentally "discovered" because Columbus wanted to go to India and that is history.

The most heinous of these invaders of India were off course the nomadic sword wielding barbarians of the Islamic world. Will Durant (1885-1981), American historian, described that the Mohammedan conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history.

Rizwan Salim of New York Tribune, wrote, "Savages at a very low level of civilization and no culture worth the name, from Arabia and west Asia, began entering India from the early century onwards .. demolished countless Hindu temples, shattered uncountable sculpture and idols, plundered innumerable palaces and forts of Hindu kings, killed vast numbers of Hindu men and carried off Hindu women.... many Indians do not seem to recognize that the alien Muslim marauders destroyed the historical evolution of the earth"s most mentally advanced civilization, the most richly imaginative culture, and the most vigorously creative society."

That was the beginning of Islamic terrorism in India and it still continues. Only the names of the terrorist has changed over time from Ghazni, Ghori, bin Qasim, Tughlak, Khilji, Babur to SIMI, LeT, HuJi, JeM, Indian Mujaheddin, Afzal and Kasab in the modern age.

Islamic terror had caused death of an estimated 80-100 million, mostly innocent and unarmed Hindus, over the centuries. Mountains were raised of skulls and bones of Hindus captured and put to death, just for the mere pleasure of killing the kafirs. Over 30000 temples were plundered and grazed.

Later similar terror was systematically planned in the Direct action day and in the Noakhali murders of 1946 and in the estimated 3 million targeted Hindus murders during the Bangladesh war in 1971.

In recent times, India attained the dubious distinction of being one of the worst terror- affected countries. Indians are used to the monotony of terrorist acts - from the numerous serial blasts affecting major cities of India to the burning alive of 59 innocent karsevaks in the Sabarmati Express near Godhra, to the assault on the Indian Parliament house and in the Mumbai carnage of Nov 2008.

As in any act of terror anywhere in the world today, be it New York, London, Madrid Russia, Indonesia or Uganda, it does not take much effort to guess who the perpetrators of the acts are. It is only newsworthy when it is not an Islamic fundamentalist person or group.

It was hoped that after Independence, especially after the havoc of Partition, India would have had learnt a lesson from past and would build a strong nation so that history does not repeat itself. But we watch with horror now that terror has affected much deeper and much higher than our worst imagination. Terror has affected the function at the highest level of the Indian government, which is widely perceived as soft on Islamic terror. It has not only failed utterly to diagnose the problems, formulate concrete plans and strengthen its anti-terror approaches, but it keeps on extending its self defeating principle of pacifying terror and terrorists with a false hope that it will be able to change hearts and all will be well in the end. It shudders to carry out the Supreme Court verdict of Afzal Guru, a convicted criminal in the eyes of the law of the land, in fear of possible retaliation from minorities. The country was seen humiliated on the TV screen all over the world, during the Mumbai carnage of November 2008 and all we have done to restore our pride and honor was to make heaps of dossiers and send them all over the world, with zero effect. Yet our clueless Prime Minister is all too happy to demoralize his own law and order machinery and send good wishes to the leaders of the terrorists, literally begging for peace again and again.

Our administration dances to the tune of separatists, pampers fake activists and even allows itself to be held captive by handful of professional" stone pelters, if they are belonging to minority groups.

Most of our leaders compete amongst themselves, each trying to establish himself more secular and Muslim-loving than the other, each trying to bend back even further and offer more concessions to catch that illusive minority vote bank, wasting national interest down the drain.

The media has long lost its role in nation building. It is either intimidated or sold-out, selling deceptions and half-truths to sensationalize and blatantly misrepresenting facts with the excuse of maintaining communal harmony, so that Muslims are not offended.

This policy of Muslim appeasement has not even spared our security personnel, who are putting their lives on the line of fire daily and die in dozens. They are themselves insecure, not only from being ill-trained and ill equipped, but also from being portrayed as the villain, castigated by the same media and leaders, crying Muslim victimhood, at the drop of a hat.

The only other act of courage that is left behind for these leaders and the media is to expand the story of a few bomb blast and raise the phantom of Hindu or saffron terrorism and incessantly propagandize that, so the inflated image can match the menace of Islamic terrorism.

Recently, Mr. B Raman, former head of the counter-terrorism division of RAW, analyzed the arrest of some Hindus as terrorists and concluded that "according to American investigators the LET and Al Qaeda were responsible for the Samjauta Express blast and the HUJI for the Mecca Masjid blast. If the American investigators, who have better sources in Pakistan, are correct, how can our investigators claim that some arrested Hindus were responsible for these incidents? Justice and fair play demand a thorough investigation into the two different versions that have emerged from Indian and American investigators. While the American investigators have blamed the LET, Al Qaeda and the HUJI, Indian investigators have blamed the Abhinav Bharat. Both cannot be correct."

Thus the Home Minister has not only deliberately and deceptively sanctioned the accusation with his statement even before any verdict has been declared but actually insulted the majority population of the country and the billion plus Hindus of the world"s third largest faith, by purposefully dragging the word saffron into it. He had endorsed the growing suspicion of Hindus that they are unwelcome in their motherland. The mere word "Hindu" is despicable now. To claim to be a Hindu in India is reckoned as inciting "communalism". And by extension, the color "saffron", notwithstanding its presence in the Indian tricolor, is disreputable, because of its association with Hindu religion.

Saffron is considered the sacred color that has been embraced by Sanatan Dharma and the other faiths of Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism, that emanated from this blessed land of Bharat. It symbolizes sacrifice, salvation and renunciation - qualities that had formed the basis of the ancient civilization that still thrives in this land. It is the color donned by sages and saints, including Sankaracharya, and Vivekananda who have graced and blessed us, from time immemorial.

Saffron glorifies our National Flag to emphasize the same characters. Our first President, Dr. S.Radhakrishnan thus explained, ".the saffron color denotes renunciation of disinterestedness. Our leaders must be indifferent to material gains and dedicate themselves to their work. The white in the centre is light, the path of truth to guide our conduct. The green shows our relation to soil, our relation to the plant life here on which all other life depends. The Ashoka Wheel in the center of the white is the wheel of the law of dharma. Truth or satya, dharma or virtue ought to be the controlling principles of those who work under this flag."

Thus, saffron is the color of the truthful and dharmic civilization that originated from India and influenced human evolution over the whole world. Unlike the persecuting, essentially fundamentalist and exclusive faiths of early Judaism, Christianity and Islam, Indic religions like Hinduism and Buddhism have never seeked religious or scriptural sanction of faith based atrocities, have never preached any holy wars, be it crusades or jihads and have never approved proselytizing religious imperialism to justify political or economic oppression of others.

Despite centuries of oppression and terror, The Hindus civilization is still thriving, while all the other ancient civilizations of the Greeks, the Romans, the Egyptians, the Mayans and Aztecs have been destroyed by either Islam or Christianity. True, Hindus were forced to remain second class citizens in their own land, for centuries. But Hindus never shied away from fighting the evil forces and the tyrants. They won some but unfortunately lost more. Despite being deceived numerous times and broken at other times, they did not bend. They retreated into their shell but remained faithful to their dharma, took their destiny on stride and survived centuries - the longest surviving ancient civilization on planet earth. They gave shelters to others similarly oppressed - the Jews, the Syrian Christians and the Zoroastrians. They earned their fame as "tolerant", "nonviolent", "truthful" and "peace-loving" - accolades they cherished as virtues that were not to be sacrificed, even on the threat of destruction and annihilation. They gained their strength from their scriptures and their itihaas, from the collective blessings of their sages and saints and from the cumulated benefits of following the path of dharma and good karma.

They regard their land as their Bharatmata; they hail her as Vande Mataram. And they have learnt to protect her with their lives. For Hindus believe in offering self sacrifice. They know that saffron is also the color of fire which they have been worshipping in the form of Yajna, since Vedic times. They are aware that fire burns but they also believe that fire purifies.

Following independence, Hindus had renewed their hope and expectations, thinking they had sacrificed enough for their independence movement and had suffered enough through partition of their motherland. But they are starting to realize that their struggle to free their civilization and land is not over. They feel captives again, not by aliens anymore, but by a handful of malicious fellow citizens, often Hindus by birth themselves, who are bent upon to eradicate the essential Hindu nature of this country. They are seeing the grip of a conscious, concocted and colluded effort to remove Hindu-ness from all walks of life. In sixty years after partition, the country is slowly getting back to the same pre-partition days when the minorities were calling the shots and the leaders are only too eager to oblige.

There are clearly different sets of standards to deal with Hindus and Muslims now in independent India.

Hindu"s glorified history is suppressed; Muslims century old oppression is rationalized.

"Jai Shri Ram" is a communal call but "There is no other God but Allah" sounds secular to the pacifist"s ears.

Sanskrit is allowed to be lost in oblivion; Urdu and Arabic learning is promoted.

The Government, the leaders, the pseudo-liberals and the media never fail to raise the Babri demolition or the post-Godhra riots in Gujarat as a justification of Muslim angst but conveniently forget the actions that led to the Hindu reactions in the first place.

Hindus are expected not to have any anger and grudge. But Muslim angst has to be compensated at all cost.

Muslim atrocities are rewarded with more concessions; autonomy is contemplated for violent secessionist, while the justified efforts of Hindus, fighting to prevent disintegration of the country, are throttled.

Hindus are not supposed to have any right to resent the centuries of oppression, the deaths and the plunders or to feel for the fellow victims of Islamic terrorism. They are expected to peacefully accept loot and carnage of their property, death of their father or brother or rape of their mother or sister for the sake of communal harmony.

Hindus are expected to accept in silence their exodus in lakhs from Muslim dominated Kashmir (from where now Sikhs are threatened out), but Muslims require special privileges and protection wherever they are minorities even if it is just meant to make them feel good.

Illegal Muslim immigrants are given citizenship to become vote pockets, but Hindu migrants are still refugees after 5 decades of partition?

Disregarding constitutional rights, special advantages are being doled out to Muslims in job and education, just because of their religious affiliation. But the same privileges do not reach the Hindus, even from the poorest economic background.

Hindu temples remain in dilapidated condition while temple money is siphoned off for government expenses? Hindus have to beg for a mere 100 acre of land in Amarnath while unlimited government funds are spent on Haj terminals buildings and trips to Mecca?

Do the Hindus have the right to lament the amputation of their Bharatmata? If Pakistan was curved out for Muslims, is it inappropriate to ask Hindustan for Hindus or at least have equal rights as for Muslims in India? Then how are Hindus expected to react to their Prime Minister"s announcement that Muslims must have first claim to the countries resources?

So was it unexpected that some Hindus would start protesting?

Indeed it is surprising that the saffron fire has not yet motivated many more of the kinds of Kshudiram Bose or Prafulla Chaki, Shivaram Rajguru or Madanlal Dhingra to join the struggle? Perhaps it is symbolic that one of the first revolutions against the British raj was that of the Sanyasis, based on which, Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay wrote his famous novel, Anandamath, which gave us the Vande Mataram song and this time one of the main accused in the so called Hindu or saffron terror happens to be a Sadhvi.

When a body is threatened by cancer, a surgeon"s knife is often the best option to save the individual. It is traumatic but life saving, painful but rewarding. Its destruction paves the path of regeneration and re-creation. Hindus believe in the same universal philosophy of destruction and creation. They believe in their God who reincarnates to save the planet from evil and propagate further creation.

Destruction or killing in the name of religion is never initiated by Hindus. But it is wrong to assume that Hindus will tolerate atrocities and adharma eternally for they also believe that acceptance of adharma is not merely cowardice, it is also sinful. To pacify them, they are constantly reminded, Ahimsa Paramo Dharma (Non-violence is the ultimate dharma) but they know there scripture also adds Dharma himsa tathaiva cha. (So too is violence in service of Dharma).

Our history recounts that whenever the need came, Hindus resistance came in the form of a Prithviraj or a Rana Pratap; a Shivaji or a Guru Gobind Singh; a Bhagat Singh or a Subhash Bose. They are considered great sons of the soil. Hindus consider them martyrs, cherish their memories and feel glorified by their self sacrifice. Their resistance to eradicate injustice and oppression is not terror. Their war is dharma-yuddha against evil, like the one that happened in Kurukshetra, where the Lord Krishna himself supervised.

Hindusthan has seen tyrant fanatics like Aurangzeb and traitors like Jaichand before. History will say how the current leaders will be remembered in future.

But one thing is for sure, if the call to save Hindusthan comes again it will be the saffron flag-bearing Hindus who will do or die for it. Hindus will not let it go without a fight. Bandyopadhyay Arindam

Terrorism … and that too saffron terrorism?

by Narendra Modi 1. September 2010 19:46 Friends,

Friends,

The Home Minister Shri Chidambaramji who represents the Congress government should recall the history of the chair that he now sits which was once occupied by the Iron Man Sardar Patel who added lustre to it. If he recalls this rightly he would not have thought with such a bad intention to coin an imaginary and false term “saffron terrorism.”

This accusation leveled by the Central government is not as if it was said in anger at an election rally. But this was said at a very important and sensitive conference of State police chiefs and Inspector-Generals of Police which he inaugurated. And it was therefore a prepared speech. This mischief cannot be dismissed as an insignificant event. The Central Congress government’s home minister has indeed stepped outside the boundaries of the Constitution when he made such an irresponsible statement. By this statement the security forces and the police have been provoked to act in a certain way against a certain class of people. This is an anti-constitutional behaviour.

The Central government by speaking about saffron terror has gravely insulted its own parent the Congress party itself. The home minister of the nation should be aware that the Congress in 1931 had established the Flag Samiti whose head was Dr Rajendra Prasadji. And the members of this samiti were great men like Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Shri Moulana Azad, Shri Master Tara Singh, Dr Ambedkar, Kakasaheb Kalelkar, Kanhaiya Lal Munishi. The members had recommeded that the national flag of India should be of a single colour and should be of saffron. Then how can the Central Congress government spread canards about ‘saffron terror’?

Friends, the present Tri-colour to which we Indians bow has saffron in its unique glory. The Centre must reply to the people of India whether the Tri-colour has turned into a symbol of terrorism due to its saffron colour?

Friends, in our thousand years of slavery our great patriots in each time period had been sacrificing themselves under the shadow of the saffron flag. Does the Central Congress government desire that in protecting this country’s heritage those who had sacrificied themselves like Guruputras, Chattrapati Shivaji, Rana Pratap and lakhs of brave Kshatriyas had sacrificed at the altar of saffron terror? Should we heap infamy on the bravery and sacrifices as recorded in our age-old Indian history?

Friends, from Vedas to Vivekananda the contribution of our sants and mahants has been eternal as all of them wore saffron-coloured clothes. The saffron-attired young sanyasi Vivekananda had enhanced the prestige of India in the comity of nations. Is this sacrifice of tapasvis like Vivekananda could possibly form part of saffron terror tradition for the Congress government?

The politics of votebanks and appeasement has destroyed this country. This canard of ‘saffron terror’ has been spread as part of a devious political votebank and appeasement game.

The country can never tolerate such dirty political games. Such insult to our great ancient culture can never be tolerated.

Youths, rise and awake and demand an answer…..

Yours,

મિત્રો,

કેન્દ્રની કોંગ્રેસ સરકારના ગૃહ પ્રધાનપદે બેઠેલા શ્રી ચિદમ્બરમજીને જો ઇતિહાસ યાદ હોત કે તેઓ જે ખુરશી પર બેઠા છે તે ખુરશીને ભારતના લોહપુરૂષ સરદાર પટેલ શોભાવતા હતા. તેમને આટલું યાદ હોત તો બદઇરાદાપૂર્વક સમજી વિચારીને "ભગવા આતંકવાદ" જેવા તદન કાલ્પનિક જુઠ્ઠાણાને જન્મ આપ્યો ન હોત.

કેન્દ્ર સરકારે લગાવેલો આ અક્ષેપ કોઇ ચૂંટણી સભામાં આવેશમાં બોલાયેલો આરોપ નથી. પરંતુ દેશના પોલીસ મહાનિર્દેશકોની અત્યંત મહત્વની અને અતિ સંવિદનશીલ એવી રાષ્ટ્ર કક્ષાની પરિષદમાં રજુ થયેલો છે. વળી તે પણ અગાઉથી તૈયાર કરેલ ભાષણ રૂપે બોલાયો છે. આ કૃત્યને નાનીસૂની ઘટના તરીકે લઇ શકાય તેવી બાબત નથી. કેન્દ્રીય કોંગ્રેસ સરકારના ગૃહમંત્રીશ્રીએ ભારતની બંધારણની માર્યાદાઓ બહાર જઇને, સુરક્ષાબળોને તેમાંય પોલીસને એક ચોક્કસ વર્ગ વિરૂધ્ધ પૂર્વગ્રહિત હરવાનું બંધારણ વિરૂધ્ધનું કૃત્ય કર્યુ છે.

કેન્દ્ર સરકારે બગવા આતંકવાદની વાત કરીને તેમની જ માતૃ સંસ્થા કોંગ્રેસનું પણ ઘોર અપમાન કર્યુ છે. દિલ્હીની કોંગ્રેસ સરકારના ગૃહ મંત્રીશ્રીને ખબર હોવી જોઇએ કે ૧૯૩૧માં કોંગ્રેસે બનાવેલી ઝંડા સમિતિના અધ્યક્ષ ડૉ. રાજેન્દ્ર પ્રસાદજી હતા અને જે સમિતિના સભ્ય તરીકે પંડિત જવાહરલાલ નહેરૂ, શ્રી મોલાના આઝાદ, શ્રી માસ્ટર તારાસીંગ, ડૉ.આંબેડકર, કાકાસહેબ કાલેલકર, કનૈયાલાલ મુન્શી જેવા દિગ્ગજો હતા તે કોંગ્રેસની ઝંડા સમિતિએ ભારતનો રાષ્ટ્રધ્વજ એક જ રંગનો હોવો જોઇએ અને તે ભગવા રંગનો હોવો જોઇએ તેવી ભલામણ કરી હતી. કેન્દ્રની કોંગ્રેસ સરકાર કેવી રીતે "ભગવા આતંકવાદ" જેવું જુઠ્ઠાણું ફેલાવી શકે?

મિત્રો,ભારતનો વર્તમાન ત્રિરંગો ઝંડો જેને આપણે સહુ નમન કરીએ છીએ તેની શોભામાં પણ ભગવા રંગનું સ્થાન છે. કેન્દ્રની કોંગ્રેસ સરકારે દેશવાસીઓને જવાબ આપવો પડશે કે શું ત્રિરંગો ઝંડો પણ ભગવા રંગના કારણે હવે આતંકવાદની ઓળખ બની ગયો છે ?

મિત્રો, હજારો વર્ષની ગુલામી સામે દરેક યુગમાં ક્ષાત્રતેજને વરેલા મહાપુરૂષો ભગવા ધ્વજની છત્રછાયામાં બલિદાન આપતા રહ્યા છે. આ દેશની સંસ્કૃતિની રક્ષા માટે બલિદાન આપનાર ગુરૂપુત્રો, છત્રપતિ શિવાજી, રાણા પ્રતાપ કે લાખ્ખો ક્ષત્રિય વીરોના બલિદાન "ભગવા આતંકવાદ"નો ભોગ બને એવું કેન્દ્રની સરકાર ઇચ્છે છે? શું પરાક્રમ અને ત્યાગના ઇતિહાસને પણ લાંછિત કરવાનો છે?

મિત્રો, વેદ થી વિવેકાનંદ સુધીની આપણી સાંસ્કૃતિક યાત્રામાં સંતો, મહંતોનું યોગદાન અમર છે તેઓ સહુ ભગવાધારી હતા. ભગવાવસ્ત્ર ધારણ કરેલ યુવા સન્યાસી સ્વામી વિવેકાનંદે દુનિયામાં ભારતનું ગૌરવ વધાર્યુ હતું. શું ભગવા રંગે રંગાયેલ આ ત્યાગ, તપસ્યાની સંત પરંપરા પણ કોંગ્રેંસ સરકાર માટે ભગવા આતંકવાદની પરંપરા છે?

વોટ બેન્ક અને તૃષ્ટિકરણની રાજનીતિએ દેશને બરબાદ કર્યો છે. આ ભગવા આતંકવાદનું જુઠ્ઠાણું પણ વોટબેન્કની અને તુષ્ટિકરણ ની ગંદી રાજરમતનું જ અંગ છે. દેશ ક્યારેય આવી ગંદી રાજરમતને સાંખી ન શકે.

ભારતની મહાન સંસ્કૃતિનું અપમાન કયારેય સહન ન કરી શકાય.

યુવાનો ઉઠો, જાગો અને જવાબ માંગો.....

આપનો,

मित्रों,

गृह मंत्री श्री चिदम्बरम जी, जो कांग्रेस सरकार का प्रतिनिधित्व करते हैं, उन्हें उस कुर्सी के इतिहास को याद करना चाहिए जिस पर वह अब बैठते हैं, उस पर कभी लौह पुरुष सरदार पटेल का अधिकार था और जिसने उसको शोभा प्रदान की थी. अगर वो उसे ठीक तरह से याद करते तो वह ऐसे बुरे इरादे के साथ एक काल्पनिक और गलत शब्द “भगवा आतंकवाद” का दावा करने का नहीं सोचते.

केन्द्रीय सरकार द्वारा लगाया गया यह आरोप कोई चुनावी रैली में क्रोध में कहा गया हो ऐसा भी नहीं है. लेकिन इसे राज्य के पुलिस प्रमुखों और पुलिस महानिरीक्षकों के एक बहुत ही महत्वपूर्ण और संवेदनशील सम्मेलन में, जिसका उन्होंने उद्घाटन किया था, उसमें कहा गया था. और इसलिए यह एक तैयार किया हुआ भाषण था. यह अनिष्ट को एक मामूली घटना के रूप में खारिज नहीं किया जा सकता है.केन्द्रीय कांग्रेस सरकार के गृह मंत्री ने इस तरह का गैर जिम्मेदाराना बयान देकर वास्तव में संविधान की सीमाओं के बाहर कदम रखा है. इस बयान के द्वारा सुरक्षा बलों और पुलिस के लोगों को एक खास वर्ग के खिलाफ एक निश्चित रुप में कार्य करने के लिए उकसाया गया है. यह एक गैर संवैधानिक व्यवहार है.

भगवे आतंक के बारे में बात करके केंद्र सरकार ने संगीन रुप से अपनी स्वयं की ही जन्म दाता कांग्रेस पार्टी का अपमान किया है. देश के गृह मंत्री को पता होना चाहिए कि कांग्रेस ने 1931 में ध्वज समिति की स्थापना की थी जिनके अध्यक्ष डॉ. राजेंद्र प्रसाद जी थे. और पंडित जवाहर लाल नेहरू, श्री मौलाना आजाद, श्री मास्टर तारा सिंह, डॉ. आम्बेडकर, काका साहेब कालेलकर, कन्हैया लाल मुन्शी जैसे महान लोग इस समिति के सदस्य थे. उस सदस्यों ने सिफारिश की थी कि भारत का राष्ट्रीय ध्वज एक ही रंग का होना चाहिए और वह भगवे रंग का होना चाहिए. तो फिर केन्द्रीय कांग्रेस सरकार 'भगवे आतंक' के बारे में बेबुनियाद ख़बर कैसे फैला सकती हैं?

मित्रों, वर्तमान तिरंगा, जिसे हम भारतीयों सम्मान देते हैं, उसकी अद्वितीय शोभा में भगवा रंग भी है. केंद्र को भारत के लोगों को जवाब देना होगा कि क्या हमारा तिरंगा अब अपने भगवे रंग के कारण आतंकवाद के एक प्रतीक में बदल गया है?

मित्रों, हमारी गुलामी के हजार साल में, हर समय अवधि में, हमारे महान देशभक्तों भगवे ध्वज की छाया के नीचे स्वयं को त्याग देते थे. क्या केन्द्रीय कांग्रेस सरकार की इच्छा ऐसी है कि इस देश की विरासत की रक्षा करने में जो लोगों ने खुद का बलिदान दिया था जैसे की गुरु प्रताप, छत्रपति शिवाजी, राणा प्रताप और लाखों वीर क्षत्रियों ने भगवे आतंक की वेदी पर बलिदान दिया था? क्या हमें बहादुरी और बलिदानों के रूप में जो हमारे सदियों पुराने भारतीय इतिहास में दर्ज कीया गया है उस पर बदनामी का ढेर लगाना चाहिए?

मित्रों, वेदों से विवेकानंद तक हमारे संतों और महंतों का अनन्त योगदान रहा है जब कि वे सभी भगवे रंग के कपड़े पहनते थे. भगवे वस्त्रधारी युवा सन्यासी विवेकानन्द ने राष्ट्रों के समुदाय में भारत की प्रतिष्ठा को बढ़ाया था. विवेकानंद जैसे तपस्वीओं का इस बलिदान संभवतः कांग्रेस सरकार के लिए भगवे आतंक की परंपरा का हिस्सा हो सकता है?

वोट बैंक और तुष्टीकरण की राजनीति ने इस देश को नष्ट कर दिया गया है. 'भगवे आतंक' की इस अफवाह को एक कुटिल राजनीतिक वोट बैंक और तुष्टीकरण के खेल के हिस्से के रुप में फैलाई गई है. हमारा देश ऐसे गंदे राजनीतिक खेल को कभी बर्दाश्त नहीं कर सकता है.

हमारी महान प्राचीन संस्कृति का इस तरह का अपमान बर्दाश्त नहीं किया जा सकता.

युवाओं, उठो और जागो और जवाब मांगो....

आपका,

मित्रांनो,

काँग्रेस सरकारचे प्रतिनिधित्व करणाऱ्या गृहमंत्री श्री चिदंबरम यांनी थोडा इतिहास आठवावा, ते ज्या खुर्चीवर सध्या बसतात तिला एकेकाळी लोहपुरुष सरदार पटेल यांनी वलय प्राप्त करुन दिले होते. त्यांना जर हे व्यवस्थित आठवत असते तर त्यांना अतिशय वाईट हेतूने “भगवा दहशतवाद” यासारखा काल्पनिक आणि चुकीचा शब्द तयार केला नसता.

केंद्र सरकारने केलेला हा आरोप एखाद्या निवडणूक सभेत रागाने केलेले विधान नाही. मात्र हे वक्तव्य राज्य पोलिस प्रमुख आणि महानिरिक्षकांच्या अतिशय महत्वाच्या आणि संवेदशील परिषदेत करण्यात आले, ज्याचे उद्घाटन त्यांच्या हस्ते झाले. आणि म्हणूनच ते तयार केलेले भाषण होते. हा खोडसाळपणा दुर्लक्ष करण्यासारखी घटना म्हणून सोडून देता येणार नाही. केंद्रातील काँग्रेस सरकारच्या गृहमंत्र्यांनी असे बेजबाबदार विधान करतांना खरोखर राज्यघटनेची चौकट ओलांडली आहे. या विधानाने सुरक्षा दले आणि पोलिसांना विशिष्ठ वर्गातील लोकांबद्दल विशिष्ठ पद्धतीने कारवाई करण्यास उद्युक्त केले आहे. हे घटनाविरोधी वागणे आहे.

केंद्र सरकारने भगव्या दहशतवादाबद्दल बोलून स्वतःच्या पक्षाचा, काँग्रेसचाच घोर अपमान केला आहे. देशाच्या गृहमंत्र्यांना जाणीव असेलच की काँग्रेसने १९३१ साली ध्वज समितीची स्थापना केली होती, जिचे प्रमुख डॉ. राजेंद्र प्रसाद होते. आणि पंडित जवाहरलाल नेहरु, श्री मौलाना आझाद, श्री मास्टर तारा सिंग, डॉ. आंबेडकर, काकासाहेब कालेलकर, कन्हैयालाल मुन्शी अशा काही महान व्यक्ती या समितीच्या सदस्य होत्या. या सदस्यांनी अशी शिफारस केली होती की भारताचा ध्वज एकाच रंगाचा, भगव्या रंगाचा असावा. तर मग केंद्रातील काँग्रेस सरकार ‘भगव्या’ दहशतवादाबद्दल अफवा कसे पसरवू शकते?

मित्रांनो, सध्याचा तिरंगा ज्याला आपण भारतीय नमन करतो, त्यास अद्वितीय प्रतिष्ठा, तेज आहे. केंद्राने भारतीय लोकांना उत्तर द्यावे की तिरंग्यामध्ये भगवा रंग असल्याने तो दहशतवादाचे प्रतिक झाला आहे का?

मित्रांनो, आपल्या हजारो वर्षांच्या पारतंत्र्याच्या काळात आपले महान देशभक्त प्रत्येक कालखंडात भगव्या झेंड्याच्या छत्र छायेत आपले बलिदान देत होते. केंद्र सरकारला असे म्हणायचे आहे का की, या देशाच्या परंपरेचे रक्षण करतांना, गुरुपुत्र, छत्रपती शिवाजी, राणा प्रताप आणि लाखो शूर क्षत्रियांनी स्वतःचे बलिदान केले, ते भगव्या दहशतवादाच्या वेदीवरील बलिदान होते? ज्या शौर्य आणि बलिदानाची आपल्या प्राचीनतम भारतीय इतिहास नोंद आहे त्याला आपण असे बदनाम करावे का?

मित्रांनो, वेदांपासून ते विवेकानंदांपर्यंत आपल्या संत आणि महंतांचे योगदान चिरंतन आहे आणि ते सर्व भगव्या रंगाची वस्त्रे परिधान करत असत. भगवी वस्त्रे परिधान केलेल्या तरुण संन्यासी स्वामी विवेकानंदांनी भारताचा गौरव इतर देशांमध्ये वाढवला. विवेकानंदांसारख्या तपस्वींचे बलिदान हा काँग्रेस सरकारसाठी भगव्या दहशतवाद परंपरेचाच एक भाग असू शकतो का?

मतपेटी आणि तुष्टीकरणाच्या राजकारणाने या देशाचा विनाश केला आहे. मतपेटी आणि तुष्टीकरणाच्या राजकारणाच्या कुटिल खेळाचा एक भाग म्हणून ‘भगव्या दहशतवादाची’ अफवा पसरवण्यात आली आहे. या देशाने असे घाणेरडे राजकीय खेळ कधीही खपवून घेतलेले नाहित.

आपल्या महान प्राचीन संस्कृतीचे असे अपमान कधीच खपवून घेतले जाणार नाहित.

तरुणांनो, उठा आणि जागे व्हा आणि उत्तर मागा........

आपला,

ਦੋਸਤੋ,

ਗ੍ਰਹਿ ਮੰਤਰੀ ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਚਿਦੰਬਰਮ ਜੀ ਜੋ ਕਿ ਕਾਂਗਰਸ ਦੀ ਪ੍ਰਤੀਨਿਧਤਾ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ , ਉਨਾ੍ਹਂ ਨੂੰ ਉਸ ਕੁਰਸੀ ਦਾ ਇਤਿਹਾਸ ਜਾਣਨ ਦੀ ਲੋੜ ਹੈ ਜਿਸ ਤੇ ਉਹ ਇਸ ਵੇਲੇ ਬੈਠੇ ਹਨ, ਜਿਸ ਤੇ ਕਦੇ ਲੋਹ ਪੁਰਸ਼ ਸਰਦਾਰ ਪਟੇਲ ਨੇ ਬੈਠ ਕੇ ਉਸਦੀ ਸ਼ੋਭਾ ਵਧਾਈ ਸੀ। ਜੇ ਉਹ ਇਸ ਨੂੰ ਉਚਿਤ ਢੰਗ ਨਾਲ ਯਾਦ ਕਰਦੇ, ਤਾਂ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਕਿਸੇ ਦੁਰਭਾਵਨਾ ਨਾਲ ਇਕ ਖਿਆਲੀ ਅਤੇ ਝੂਠਾ ਸ਼ਬਦ "ਕੇਸਰੀਆ ਆਤੰਕਵਾਦ" ਨਾ ਘੜਿਆ ਹੁੰਦਾ ।

ਕੇਂਦਰ ਸਰਕਾਰ ਵੱਲੋਂ ਲਗਾਇਆ ਗਿਆ ਇਹ ਇਲਜ਼ਾਮ ਕਿਸੇ ਚੋਣ ਰੈਲੀ ਵਿਚ ਗੁੱਸੇ ਨਾਲ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਿਹਾ ਗਿਆ, ਸਗੋਂ ਇਹ ਰਾਜਾਂ ਦੇ ਪੁਲਿਸ ਪ੍ਰਮੁੱਖਾਂ ਅਤੇ ਇੰਸਪੈਕਟਰ ਜਰਨਲਾਂ ਦੀ ਬਹੁਤ ਸੰਵੇਦਨਸ਼ੀਲ ਅਤੇ ਜਰੂਰੀ ਸਭਾ ਵਿਚ ਕਿਹਾ ਗਿਆ ਜਿਸ ਦਾ ਉਦਘਾਟਨ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਕੀਤਾ ਸੀ। ਅਤੇ ਇਸ ਲਈ ਇਹ ਤਿਆਰ ਕੀਤੀ ਹੋਈ ਤਕਰੀਰ ਸੀ। ਇਸ ਸ਼ਰਾਰਤ ਨੂੰ ਇਕ ਗੈਰ ਮਹੱਤਵਪੂਰਣ ਘਟਨਾ ਕਰਾਰ ਨਹੀਂ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਜਾ ਸਕਦਾ। ਕੇਂਦਰ ਦੀ ਕਾਂਗਰਸ ਸਰਕਾਰ ਦੇ ਗ੍ਰਹਿ ਮੰਤਰੀ ਨੇ ਇਹ ਗੈਰ ਜਿੰਮੇਦਾਰਨਾ ਬਿਆਨ ਦੇ ਕੇ ਸੱਚਮੁੱਚ ਸੰਵਿਧਾਨ ਦੀ ਹੱਦ ਨੂੰ ਪਾਰ ਕੀਤਾ ਹੈ। ਇਸ ਬਿਆਨ ਨਾਲ ਸੁਰੱਖਿਆ ਬਲ ਅਤੇ ਪੁਲਿਸ ਨੂੰ ਇਕ ਖਾਸ ਤਬਕੇ ਦੇ ਖਿਲਾਫ਼ ਖਾਸ ਢੰਗ ਨਾਲ ਕਾਰਵਾਈ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ ਉਕਸਾਇਆ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ।ਇਹ ਗੈਰ ਸੰਵਿਧਾਨਕ ਰਵੱਈਆ ਹੈ।

ਕੇਂਦਰ ਸਰਕਾਰ ਨੇ ਕੇਸਰੀਆ ਆਤੰਕਵਾਦ ਬਾਰੇ ਬੋਲ ਕੇ ਆਪਣੀ ਪਿਤਰ ਖੁਦ ਕਾਂਗਰਸ ਪਾਰਟੀ ਦਾ ਅਪਮਾਨ ਕੀਤਾ ਹੈ। ਦੇਸ਼ ਦੇ ਗ੍ਰਹਿ ਮੰਤਰੀ ਨੂੰ ਪਤਾ ਹੋਣਾ ਚਾਹੀਦਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਕਾਂਗਰਸ ਨੇ ੧੯੩੧ ਵਿਚ ਇਕ ਝੰਡਾ ਸਮਿਤੀ ਬਣਾਈ ਸੀ ਜਿਸਦੇ ਪ੍ਰਮੁੱਖ ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਰਾਜਿੰਦਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦ ਜੀ ਸਨ।ਅਤੇ ਕਈ ਮਹਾਨ ਲੋਕ ਇਸ ਸਮਿਤੀ ਦੇ ਮੈਂਬਰ ਸਨ ਜਿਵੇਂ ਕਿ ਪੰਡਿਤ ਜਵਾਹਰ ਲਾਲ ਨਹਿਰੂ, ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਮੌਲਾਨਾ ਆਜ਼ਾਦ, ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਮਾਸਟਰ ਤਾਰਾ ਸਿੰਘ, ਡਾ ਅੰਬੇਦਕਰ, ਕਾਕਾਸਾਹੇਬ ਕਾਲੇਲਕਰ, ਕਨ੍ਹਈਆ ਲਾਲ ਮੁਨਸ਼ੀ।ਮੈਂਬਰਾਂ ਨੇ ਸਿਫ਼ਾਰਿਸ਼ ਕੀਤੀ ਸੀ ਕਿ ਭਾਰਤ ਦਾ ਰਾਸ਼ਟਰੀ ਝੰਡਾ ਇਕ ਰੰਗ ਦਾ ਹੋਣਾ ਚਾਹੀਦਾ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਉਹ ਵੀ ਕੇਸਰੀਆ। ਫੇਰ ਕੇਂਦਰ ਦੀ ਕਾਂਗਰਸ ਸਰਕਾਰ ਕੇਸਰੀਆ ਆਤੰਕਵਾਦ ਬਾਰੇ ਝੂਠ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਫੈਲਾ ਸਕਦੀ ਹੈ।

ਦੋਸਤੋ, ਵਰਤਮਾਨ ਤਿਰੰਗਾ ਜਿਸ ਅੱਗੇ ਅਸੀਂ ਭਾਰਤੀ ਝੁਕਦੇ ਹਾਂ , ਉਸ ਵਿਚ ਕੇਸਰੀਆ ਰੰਗ ਦਾ ਇਕ ਵਿਲੱਖਣ ਨੂਰ ਹੈ। ਕੇਂਦਰ ਭਾਰਤੀ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਜਰੂਰ ਜਵਾਬ ਦਏ ਕਿ ਕੀ ਤਿਰੰਗਾ ਆਪਣੇ ਕੇਸਰੀਆ ਰੰਗ ਕਾਰਨ ਆਤੰਕਵਾਦ ਦਾ ਇਕ ਚਿੰਨ੍ਹ ਬਣ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ?

ਦੋਸਤੋ,ਸਾਡੀ ਹਜ਼ਾਰਾਂ ਸਾਲਾਂ ਦੀ ਗੁਲਾਮੀ ਦੌਰਾਨ ਹਰ ਸਮੇਂ ਸਾਡੇ ਮਹਾਨ ਦੇਸ਼ ਭਗਤਾਂ ਨੇ ਕੇਸਰੀਆ ਝੰਡੇ ਦੀ ਪਰਛਾਈਂ ਹੇਠ ਖੁਦ ਨੂੰ ਕੁਰਬਾਨ ਕਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ। ਕੀ ਕੇਂਦਰੀ ਕਾਂਗਰਸ ਸਰਕਾਰ ਇਹ ਕਹਿਣਾ ਚਾਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਗੁਰੂਪੁੱਤਰ, ਛਤਰਪਤੀ ਸ਼ਿਵਾ ਜੀ, ਰਾਣਾ ਪ੍ਰਤਾਪ ਅਤੇ ਲੱਖਾਂ ਕੱਸ਼ਤਰੀ ਜੋ ਦੇਸ਼ ਦੀ ਵਿਰਾਸਤ ਲਈ ਖੁਦ ਕੁਰਬਾਨ ਹੋ ਗਏ, ਸਭ ਕੇਸਰੀਆ ਆਤੰਕਵਾਦ ਦੀ ਵੇਦੀ ਤੇ ਸ਼ਹੀਦ ਹੋਏ। ਕੀ ਅਸੀਂ ਪੁਰਾਤਨ ਇਤਿਹਾਸ ਵਿਚ ਦਰਜ ਵੀਰਤਾ ਅਤੇ ਕੁਰਬਾਨੀਆਂ ਤੇ ਬਦਨਾਮੀ ਲੱਦ ਦੇਈਏ?

ਦੋਸਤੋ,ਵੇਦਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਵਿਵੇਕਨੰਦ ਤਕ ਸਾਡੇ ਸਾਧੂ ਮਹੰਤਾਂ ਦੀ ਦੇਣ ਸਦੀਵੀ ਹੈ ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਉਹ ਸਭ ਕੇਸਰੀ ਰੰਗ ਦੇ ਕੱਪੜੇ ਪਾਉਂਦੇ ਸਨ। ਕੇਸਰੀਆ ਬਾਣੇ ਵਿਚ ਨੌਜੁਆਨ ਸੰਨਿਆਸੀ ਵਿਵੇਕਾਨੰਦ ਨੇ ਭਾਰਤ ਦੀ ਸਭ ਦੇਸ਼ਾਂ ਦੀ ਸਭਾ ਵਿਚ ਇੱਜ਼ਤ ਵਧਾਈ ।ਕੀ ਕਾਂਗਰਸ ਸਰਕਾਰ ਲਈ ਵਿਵੇਕਾਨੰਦ ਵਰਗੇ ਤਪੱਸਵੀਆਂ ਦੀ ਕੁਰਬਾਨੀ ਸੰਭਵ ਤੌਰ ਤੇ ਕੇਸਰੀ ਆਤੰਕਵਾਦ ਦੀ ਰਵਾਇਤ ਦਾ ਹਿੱਸਾ ਹੈ?

ਵੋਟ ਬੈਂਕ ਅਤੇ ਪਤਿਆਉਣ ਦੀ ਰਾਜਨੀਤੀ ਨੇ ਇਸ ਦੇਸ਼ ਨੂੰ ਤਬਾਹ ਕਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਹੈ। ਇਹ ਕੇਸਰੀਆ ਆਤੰਕਵਾਦ ਦਾ ਝੂਠੇ ਵੋਟ ਬੈਂਕ ਅਤੇ ਪਤਿਆਉਣ ਦੀ ਗੁੰਝਲਦਾਰ ਰਾਜਨੀਤਕ ਖੇਡ ਦੇ ਹਿੱਸੇ ਵਜੋਂ ਫੈਲਾਇਆ ਜਾ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ।ਦੇਸ਼ ਕਦੇ ਵੀ ਇਸ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀ ਗੰਦੀ ਰਾਜਨੀਤਕ ਖੇਡ ਨੂੰ ਬਰਦਾਸ਼ਤ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰ ਸਕਦਾ।

ਸਾਡੀ ਮਹਾਨ ਪੁਰਾਤਨ ਸੰਸਕ੍ਰਿਤੀ ਦਾ ਇਸ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਦਾ ਅਪਮਾਨ ਕਦੇ ਵੀ ਬਰਦਾਸ਼ਤ ਨਹੀਂ ਕੀਤਾ ਜਾ ਸਕਦਾ।

ਨੌਜੁਆਨੋ, ਉੱਠੋ ਅਤੇ ਜਾਗੋ ਅਤੇ ਜੁਆਬ ਮੰਗੋ.......

ਤੁਹਾਡਾ ਆਪਣਾ

বন্ধুগণ,

গৃহ মন্ত্রী শ্রী চিদাম্বরমজির যিনি কনগ্রেস সরকারের প্রতিনিধিত্ব করেন এই পদের ইতিহাস মনে রাখা উচিত যাকে এক কালে লোহ পুরুষ সর্দার পাতেল দীপ্তিময় করে ছিলেন. যদি তিনি এইটা মনে রাখতেন তাইলে তিনি এইটা মনে রাখতেন তাইলে তিনি এত খারাপ অভিপ্রায় নিয়ে একটি মনে গড়া ও ভুল যুক্ত 'ভোগবা অতন্ক্বাদের' আবিস্কার করতেন না.

কেন্দ্র দ্বারা লাগানো এই আরোপ রাগে কোনো চুনাব রাল্লি তে বলা কোনো কথন নয়ে . বরং এইটি একটি খুব এই জরুরি ও সংবেদনশীল রাজ্যর পলিকে প্রধান ও পলিসের ইন্সপেক্টর - গেনেরালদের সভাতে বলা হয়েছিল যেইটাকে তিনি উদ্বোধিত করেছিলেন. আর এই জন্যে এইটা আগে থেকে বানানো একটি ভাসন ছিল. এই দুষ্টামি তা কে কোনো চত ঘটনার রূপে ছেড়ে দেব যাবে না. কেন্রর গৃহ মন্ত্রী সভিদানের সীমার উল্লংঘন করেছেন যখন তিনি এইরম দায়হীন বাক্য বলেছেন. এই ভাসন দ্বারা সুরক্ষা বল কে চটানো হয়েছে এক বর্গের লোকের সঙ্গে ভেদভাব করার জন্যে. এইটি অসম্ভিধানিক ক্রিয়াকলাপ .

কেন্দ্র সরকার ভোগবা অতন্ক্বাদের সম্বন্ধে বলে নিজের স্বামী কনগ্রেস পাত্রীকে ও লজ্জিত করেছে. দেশের গৃহ মন্ত্রীর জানা উচিত যে 1931 তে কনগ্রেস এই পতাকা সমিতির গঠন করেছিল যার অধ্যক্ষ দ্র রাজেন্দ্র প্রসাদ ছিলেন. আর এই সমিতির সদস্য ছিলেন পন্ডিত জাবাহারলাল নেহরু , শ্রী মৌলানা আজাদ , শ্রী মাস্টার তারা সিংহ, Dr আম্বেদকার , কাকাসাহেব কালেল্কার , কানহাইয়া লাল মুনিশি ছিলেন. সমিতির সদস্যরা সুপারিশ করেছিলেন যে পতাকা এক রঙের হোক আর সেই রং তা ছিল ভগভা রং. তাইলে কেন্দ্রের কনগ্রেস সরকার কি ভাবে 'ভোগবা আতঙ্কবাদ' এর অপবর্ত চরাতে পারে ?

বন্ধুগণ, এখন এর তিরঙ্গা যাহার সামনে সব ভারতবাসী নমন করে তে ভোগবা রং ও অদ্বিটিয়া খ্যাতি তে আছে. কেন্দ্রর ভারতের জনগনের সমক্ষে জবাব দেব উচিত কি ভোগবা রং এর জন্যে তিরঙ্গা আতঙ্কবাদ এর প্রতিক বনে গেছে ?

বন্ধুগণ, আমাদের হাজার বছরের গুলামির কালে, আমাদের মহান দেশভক্ত রা এই ভোগবা রঙের পতাকার ছায়া তে নিজের বলিদান দিয়ে চলেছেন. কেন্দ্রর কনগ্রেস সরকার কি এইটা বলতে চায়ে যে এই দেশের খ্যাতি তারা যারা নিজেকে দেশের জন্যে বলি দিয়েছেন যেমন গুরুপুত্রাস , চাত্ত্রাপাতি শিবাজি , রানা প্রতাপ ও লক্ষ লক্ষ বির ক্ষত্রিয়রা ভোগবা আতঙ্কবাদ এর বেদিতে নিজেদের বলিদান দিয়েছে ? আমাদের কি দেশের যুগ যুগ পুরনো ইতিহাস এর ওপর কলঙ্ক লাগানো উচিত ?

বন্ধুগণ, বেদ থেকে বিবেকানন্দ পর্যন্ত আমাদের সন্ত ও মোহন্তের যোগদান অনন্ত আছে, আর তারা সকলে এই ভোগবা রঙের কাপড় পরত. ভোগবা বস্ত্র ধারণ করা কমবয়সী বিবেকানন্দ নানা দেশের সংঘে ভারতের মান বাদিয়ে ছিল. কি কনগ্রেস সরকারের জন্যে শ্রী বিবেকানন্দর মতন তপসিদের বলিদান ভোগবা আতঙ্কবাদ এর একটা অঙ্গ আছে ?

ভতেবাঁক ও খান্ত করার রাজনীতি দেশ কে ডুবিয়ে দেইয়েছে. এই ভোগবা আতঙ্কবাদ এর অপবার্তা এইরকম এই ভতেবাঁক ও খান্ত করার রাজনীতিরই একটা বিক্রিত রূপ. দেশ কখনো এইরম নগর রাজনীতির খেলা কে সইবে না.

আমাদের পুরনো সংস্কৃতির এইরম অপমান কখখনো সজ্জ করা যাবে না.

জওয়ানরা, জাগো আর দাড়াও আর এর উত্তরের দাবি কর...

நண்பர்களே,

காங்கிரஸ் அரசின் பிரதிநிதியாக உள்ள, உள்துறை அமைச்சர் திரு.சிதம்பரம் அவர்கள், முன்பு ஒரு முறை இரும்பு மனிதர் சர்தார் படேல் அவர்களால் நிரப்பப்பட்டு புகழ் சேர்க்கப்பட்ட, தற்போது தான் அமர்ந்துள்ள நாற்காலியின் வரலாற்றை திரும்பிப் பார்க்கவேண்டும். அவர் சரியான முறையில் இதை திரும்பிப்பார்த்தால், “காவி தீவிரவாதம்” எனும் கற்பனையான மற்றும் தவறான வார்த்தையை புனைவதற்கான இது போன்ற மோசமான எண்ணம் குறித்து அவர் நினைக்கமாட்டார்.

மத்திய அரசால் பரப்பப்பட்ட இந்த பழி சுமத்தலானது, தேர்தல் பிரச்சாரம் ஒன்றில் ஆவேசத்துடன் கூறப்பட்டது போன்றதல்ல. ஆனால், இது அவரால் தொடங்கிவைக்கப்பட்ட மிகவும் முக்கியமான மற்றும் உணர்ச்சிமிக்க, மாநில தலைமை காவல் அதிகாரிகள் மற்றும் காவல் துறை ஆய்வாளர்களின் கூட்டத்தில் சொல்லப்பட்டதாகும். அத்துடன் இது முன்னமே தயாரிக்கப்பட்ட ஒரு உரையாகும். இந்த விஷமத்தை ஒரு முக்கியமற்ற நிகழ்வாக ஒதுக்கப்படமுடியாது. மத்திய காங்கிரஸ் அரசின் உள்துறை அமைச்சர், இந்த பொறுப்பற்ற அறிக்கையை வெளியிட்டதன் மூலம், உண்மையில் அரசியலமைப்பின் எல்லைகளில் இருந்து வெளியில் கிளம்பியுள்ளார். இந்த அறிக்கையின் மூலம், பாதுகாப்பு படைகள் மற்றும் காவலர்கள் ஆகியோர், ஒரு குறிப்பிட இன மக்களுக்கு எதிராக ஒரு குறிப்பிட்ட வழியில் செயல்படும் வகையில் தூண்டப்பட்டுள்ளனர். இது, அரசியலமைப்பிற்கு விரோதமான ஒரு நடத்தை.

மத்திய அரசு, காவி தீவிரவாதத்தைப் பற்றிப் பேசி, தனது காங்கிரஸ் கட்சியின் பரம்பரையை தானே மிகக்கடுமையாய் அவமதித்துக்கொண்டுள்ளது. டாக்டர். ராஜேந்திர பிரசாத் அவர்களின் தலைமையில் 1931 -ல் கொடி சமிதியை காங்கிரஸ் நிறுவியது குறித்து நாட்டின் உள்துறை அமைச்சர் தெரிந்துகொள்ளவேண்டும். அத்துடன், பண்டிட் ஜவகர்லால் நேரு, ஸ்ரீ மௌலானா அஸாத், ஸ்ரீ மாஸ்டர் தாரா சிங், டாக்டர். அம்பேத்கர், காகாசாஹேப் கலேல்கர், கண்ணையா லால் முனிஷி போன்ற மிகச்சிறந்த மனிதர்கள் இந்த சமிதியில் உறுப்பினர்களாக இருந்தனர். இந்தியாவின் தேசியக் கொடியானது ஒற்றை நிறத்துடனும் காவி நிறத்துடனும் இருக்கவேண்டும் என உறுப்பினர்கள் பரிந்துரைத்திருந்தனர். அவ்வாறு இருக்கையில், மத்திய காங்கிரஸ் அரசால், ‘காவி தீவிரவாதம்’ எனும் பொய் புரளிகளை எவ்வாறு பரப்பமுடிகிறது?

நண்பர்களே, இந்தியர்களாகிய நாம் தலை வணங்குகின்ற தற்போதைய மூவண்ணமானது தனது ஒப்புவமையற்ற பெருமைக்குறிய சிறப்பில் காவியைக் கொண்டுள்ளது. காவி நிறத்தைக் கொண்டுள்ளதால் மூவண்ணமானது தீவிரவாதத்தின் அடையாளத்திற்கு மாறியுள்ளதா என்பது குறித்து மத்திய அரசு இந்திய மக்களுக்கு பதிலளிக்கவேண்டும்?

நண்பர்களே, நமது ஆயிரம் வருட அடிமைத்தனத்தின் ஒவ்வொரு கால கட்டத்திலும் நமது மிகச்சிறந்த தேசபக்தர்கள் யாவரும் காவி நிறக் கொடியின் கீழ் தங்களைத் தாங்களே தியாகம் செய்துகொண்டிருந்தனர். தங்களைத் தாங்களே தியாகம் செய்துகொண்ட குருபுத்ராஸ், சத்ரபதி சிவாஜி, ராணா பிரதாப் மற்றும் காவி தீவிரவாதமெனும் பலிபீடத்தில் தியாகம் செய்திருந்த லட்சக்கணக்கான வீரமிக்க சத்ரியர்களின் மூலமான நாட்டின் பாரம்பரியத்தை மத்திய காங்கிரஸ் அரசு பாதுகாப்பதற்கு விரும்புகிறதா? நமது வயது முதிர்ந்த இந்திய வரலாற்றில் பதிவாகியுள்ள வீரம் மற்றும் தியாகங்களின் மீது பகிரங்க அவமதிப்பினை நாம் குவிக்கவேண்டுமா?

நண்பர்களே, நமது வேதங்களில் இருந்து விவேகானந்தர் வரையில், காவி-நிற உடைகள் அணிந்திருந்த நமது துறவிகள் மற்றும் மகான்களின் பங்களிப்பானது ஆதியந்தம் இல்லாதது. காவியை உடுத்தியிருந்த இளம் சன்னியாசியான விவேகானந்தர், அனைத்து நாட்டுச் சட்ட ஒப்புரவுப் பண்பில் இந்தியாவின் புகழை மேம்படுத்தியிருந்தார். விவேகானந்தர் போன்ற தபஸ்விக்களின் இந்த தியாகம், காவி தீவிரவாத பாரம்பரியத்தின் ஒரு பகுதியை காங்கிரஸ் அரசுக்காக சாத்தியமாக உருவாக்கியதா?

வோட்டுவங்கிகள் மற்றும் திருப்திப்படுத்தல் ஆகியவற்றிர்க்கான அரசியல்கள் இந்த நாட்டை பாழாக்கியுள்ளன. ’காவி தீவிரவாதம்’ எனும் புரளியானது நெறிதிறம்பிய அரசியல் வோட்டுவங்கி மற்றும் திருப்திப்படுத்தல் விளையாட்டின் ஒரு பகுதியாக பரப்பப்பட்டுள்ளது. இது போன்ற அசிங்கமான அரசியல் விளையாட்டுகளை நாடு ஒருபோதும் பொறுத்துக்கொள்ளாது.

நமது தொன்மையான நாகரிகத்திற்கான இது போன்ற அவமானம், ஒருபோதும் பொறுத்துக்கொள்ள முடியாதது.

இளைஞர்களே, எழுந்து உறங்காது உரிமையுடன் பதிலைக் கேளுங்கள் .....

அன்புடன், உங்கள்,

మిత్రులారా,

కాంగ్రెస్ ప్రభుత్వంలో హోం మంత్రిగా ఉన్న శ్రీ చిదంబరం జీ ప్రస్తుతం అలంకరించిన ఆ స్థానానికి ఒకప్పుడు ఉక్కు మనిషిగా పేరొందిన సర్దార్ వల్లభ్ భాయి పటేల్ ఎంతో వన్నె చేకూర్చారనే చారిత్రిక సత్యాన్ని ఆయన ఈ సందర్భ్హంగా గుర్తు చేసుకోవాలి.

ఆ విషయం సరిగా గుర్తు చేసుకున్నట్లయితే, “కాషాయ ఉగ్రవాదం” అనే కపోల కల్పితమైన, శుద్ధ అవాస్తవమైన ఒక నూతన పదాన్ని అంత చెడ్డ భావనతో ఆయన ఉపయోగించేవారు కాదేమో!

కేంద్ర ప్రభుత్వం మోపుతున్న ఈ అపనింద ఏదో ఎలక్షన్ ర్యాలీలో క్రోధావేశంతో పలికే పలుకుల వంటిది కాదు. రాష్ట్ర స్థాయిలో ముఖ్య పోలీస్ శాఖాధికారులకీ, పోలీస్ ఇన్సెక్టర్ జనరల్స్ కీ ఏర్పాటు చేసిన అతి ప్రముఖమైన, కీలకమైన సమావేశంలో ఆయన ఈ మాటలు అన్నారు. అలాంటప్పుడు అది ముందే తయారు చేయబడిన ఉపన్యాసం అయి ఉండాలి. కాబట్టి ఈ దుందుడుకు చేష్ట జరిగిన ఘటన ఏదో, పోనీలే అని కొట్టి పారేసేంత అల్పమైనదేమీ కాదు. అలాంటి బాధ్యతారాహిత్యమైన ప్రకటన చేయడం ద్వారా కాంగ్రెస్ ప్రభుత్వ హోం శాఖామాత్యులు నిజంగానే చట్టబద్ధమైన తమ పరిధిని దాటారు. ఈ విధమైన ప్రకటన భద్రతా బలాలూ, పోలీస్ వ్యవస్థా కూడా ఒక వర్గం ప్రజలకు వ్యతిరేకమైన ధోరణిలో ప్రవర్తించేలా ప్రేరేపిస్తోంది. ఇది చట్ట వ్యతిరేకమైన ప్రవర్తన.

కేంద్ర ప్రభుత్వం కాషాయ ఉగ్రవాదం గురించి మాట్లాడి తమ స్వంత కాంగ్రెస్ పార్టీ పెద్దలనే మిక్కిలి హేయమైన రీతిలో అవమానపరుచుకున్నట్లు అయింది. 1931 లో జరిగిన కాంగ్రెస్ సమావేశంలో జాతీయ పతాక కమిటీకి డా. రాజేంద్ర ప్రసాద్ జీ అధ్యక్షత వహించారు. ఆ కమిటీ లో పండిట్ జవహర్ లాల్ నెహ్రూ, శ్రీ మౌలానా ఆజాద్, శ్రీ మాస్టర్ తారా సింగ్, డా. అంబేద్కర్, కాకా సాహెబ్ కాలేల్కర్, కన్హయా లాల్ మున్షీ వంటి మహనీయులు సభ్యులుగా ఉన్నారు. సభ్యులంతా జాతి పతాకం ఒకే రంగు, అదీ కాషాయంలోనే ఉండాలని ప్రతిపాదించారు. దేశ హోం మంత్రిగా ఆయనకు ఈ సంగతి తెలిసే ఉండాలి . మరి ఇప్పుడు కేంద్ర ప్రభుత్వం ‘కాషాయ ఉగ్రవాదం’ అనే వికృత భావజాలాన్ని ఎలా ప్రచారం చేయగలుగుతుంది?

మిత్రులారా, మన భారతీయులం శిరసు వంచి నమస్కరించే మువ్వన్నె పతాకంలోని కాషాయ రంగుకి అద్వితీయమైన కీర్తి వైభవం ఉంది. త్రివర్ణ పతాకం కేవలం కాషాయ రంగు కారణంగానే ఉగ్రవాదానికి ప్రతీకగా మారిందా అన్నసంగతికి ఇప్పుడు కేంద్రం సమాధానం చెప్పి తీరాలి.

మిత్రులారా, వెయ్యేళ్ల బానిసత్వ కాలంలో ఎందరో దేశభక్తులు ప్రతిసారీ కాషాయ పతాక ఛాయలో తమ జీవితాలను త్యాగం చేశారు. దేశ వారసత్వ సంపదను కాపాడే నిమిత్తంగా ఆ నాటి గురుపుత్రులూ, ఛత్రపతి శివాజీ, రాణా ప్రతాప్ వంటి లక్షలాది సాహస పరాక్రమ సంపన్నులైన క్షత్రియులు తమ ప్రాణాలను బలిపెట్టిన ఎక్కిన కాషాయ బలిపీఠం ఉగ్రవాదాన్ని ప్రేరేపించేదేనా? యుగ యుగాలుగా భారత దేశ చరిత్రలో మనం భద్రపరుచుకున్న సాహస గాథల్లో నిలిచిన వీరులకూ, త్యాగ ధనులకూ మనం ఇప్పుడు కళంకం పులుముదామా ?

మిత్రులారా, వేదాల నుంచీ వివేకానందుని వరకూ కాషాయ దుస్తులే ధరించే మన సాధు జనులూ, మహాత్ములూ తమ వంతుగా నిరంతరం అందిస్తూ వచ్చిన సహాయ సహకారాలు కాలంతో బాటు నిలిచిపోయేవి. కాషాయ రంగు దుస్తులు ధరించిన యువ సన్యాసి వివేకానందే కదా మరి విశ్వ మత సమ్మేళనంలో భారత కీర్తి పతాకని దేదీప్యమానంగా వినువీధుల్లో రెపరెపలాడించింది ! వివేకానంద వంటి తపస్సంపన్నుల త్యాగాలు కూడా కాంగ్రెస్ ప్రభుత్వానికి కాషాయ ఉగ్రవాద సంప్రదాయంలో భాగంగానే కనిపిస్తాయా ?

ఓటు బ్యాంక్ రాజకీయాలు, పరస్పర అనుకూల ఒప్పందాలూ దేశాన్నిముక్కలు చేశాయి. రాజకీయ ఓటు బ్యాంకు సురక్షితంగా ఉండగలందులకూ, ఒకరికి ఒకరు కొమ్ము కాసుకునేందుకూ పథకం రచించి, పన్నిన మాయాజూదంలో భాగమే ‘కాషాయ ఉగ్రవాదం’ అనే వికృత పదబంధ ప్రచారం!

దేశం ఇటువంటి కుళ్లు రాజకీయ జూదాన్ని ఎన్నటికీ సహించబోదు. మన ప్రాచీన సంస్కృతీ వైభవానికి జరుగుతున్న ఈ అవమానం మనం ఇంకెంత మాత్రమూ సహించలేము ! యువకులారా! లేవండి ! మేల్కొనండి ! సమాధానం రాబట్టండి !

భవదీయుడు,

ବନ୍ଧୁଗଣ,

ମାନ୍ୟବର ଗୃହମନ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଶ୍ରୀ ଚିଦାମ୍ବରମ୍‍ ଯିଏ କି କଂଗେସ ସରକାରଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତିନିଧିତ୍ୱ କରୁଛନ୍ତି, ସେ ଯେଉଁ ଆସନରେ ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ବସିଛନ୍ତି ତାହାର ଇତିହାସକୁ ପ୍ରତ୍ୟାହ୍ୱାନ କରିବା ଉଚିତ ଏବଂ ତାଙ୍କ ପୂର୍ବରୁ ଲୌହମାନବ ସର୍ଦ୍ଦାର ପଟେଲ ଏହି ଆସନରେ ଅଳଙ୍କୃତ ହୋଇ ଏହାର ପ୍ରଭାକୁ ବୃଦ୍ଧି କରିଥିଲେ | ଯଦି ସେ ଠିକ୍‍ ଭାବେ ପ୍ରତ୍ୟାହ୍ୱାନ କରିଥାନ୍ତେ, ତାହାହେଲେ ସେ ତାଙ୍କର କୁମନୋବୃତ୍ତିକୁ ପାଥେୟ କରି ପୀତବର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଆତଙ୍କବାଦ ପରି ଏକ କାଳ୍ପନିକ ଏବଂ ମିଛ ଶଦ୍ଦର ବ୍ୟବହାର କରିନଥାନ୍ତେ |

କେନ୍ଦ୍ର ସରକାରଙ୍କର ଏହି ଅପବାଦକୁ ଲକ୍ଷ୍ୟ କଲେ ଜଣାପଡେ ଯେ ଏହା କୌଣସି ନିର୍ବାଚନ ପୁନଃସମ୍ମିଳନ ସ୍ଥଳରେ କ୍ରୋଧବଶତଃ ପ୍ରକାଶ ପାଇଥିଲା | ମାତ୍ର ଏହାକୁ ସେ ଅତ୍ୟନ୍ତ ଗୁରୁତ୍ୱପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଅନୂଭୁତି ସଂପନ୍ନ ସମ୍ମିଳନରେ ରାଜ୍ୟର ମୁଖ୍ୟ ପୋଲିସ ଏବଂ ଇନ୍‍ସ୍ପେକ୍ଟର ଜେନେରାଲ ପୋଲିସଙ୍କ ଉପସ୍ଥିତିରେ ଏହା ପ୍ରକାଶ କରିଥିଲେ ଏବଂ ଏହି ସମ୍ମିଳନଙ୍କୁ ମଧ୍ୟ ସେ ଉଦଘାଟନ କରିଥିଲେ ଏବଂ ଏହି ଭାଷଣ ପୂର୍ବରୁ ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ କରାଯାଇଥିଲା |ଏହି ଖଳତାକୁ ଏକ ଗୁରୁତ୍ୱହୀନ ଘଟଣା ବୋଲି କେବେହେଲେ ଖାରଜ କରି ଦିଆଯାଇ ନପାରେ |କେନ୍ଦ୍ର କଂଗ୍ରେସ ସରକାରଙ୍କର ଗୃହମନ୍ତ୍ରୀ ସଂବିଧାନ ବାହାରକୁ ନିଜର ପଦକ୍ଷେପ ପକାଇ ଏପରି ଏକ ଦାୟିତ୍ୱହୀନ ମନ୍ତବ୍ୟ ପ୍ରକାଶ କରିଛନ୍ତି | ଏପରି ମନ୍ତବ୍ୟ ପ୍ରଦାନ ଫଳରେ ପ୍ରତିରକ୍ଷା ସୈନ୍ୟଦଳ ଏବଂ ପୋଲିସ ବାହିନୀ ଏକପ୍ରକାର ଉତ୍ତ୍ୟକ୍ତ ହୋଇ ଏକ ନିର୍ଦ୍ଧଷ୍ଟ ଶ୍ରେଣୀର ଲୋକଙ୍କ ଉପରେ ରାଗ ଶୁଝାଇପାରନ୍ତି | ଏପରି ବ୍ୟବହାର ସଂବିଧାନର ବିରୁଦ୍ଧାଚରଣ କରୁଛି |

କେନ୍ଦ୍ର ସରକାର ପୀତାଆତଙ୍କ ବିଷୟରେ ନିଜର ମୌଳିକ କଂଗ୍ରେସ ଦଳକୁ ଅପମାନିତ କଲେ | ଜାତିର ଗୃହମନ୍ତ୍ରୀ ପୂର୍ବରୁ ଅବଗତ ଥିବେ ଯେ ୧୯୩୧ ମସିହାରେ କଂଗ୍ରେସ ଦଳ ଡଃ ରାଜେନ୍ଦ୍ର ପ୍ରସାଦଙ୍କ ଅଧ୍ୟକ୍ଷତାରେ ପତାକା ସମିତି ଗଠନ କରିଥିଲା ଏବଂ ଏହି ସମିତିରେ ବହୁ ବିଶିଷ୍ଟ ସଦସ୍ୟ ମାନେ ଯଥା ପଣ୍ଡିତ ଜବାହାରଲାଲ ନେହୁରୁ, ଶ୍ରୀ ମୌଲାନା ଆଜାଦ, ଶ୍ରୀ ମାଷ୍ଟର ତାରାସଂହ, ଡଃ ଆମ୍ବେଦକର, କାକାସାହେବ କାଲେଲକର ଏବଂ କହ୍ନେୟାଲାଲ ମୁନସି ଥିଲେ |

ସଦସ୍ୟ ମାନେ ସୁପାରିଶ କରିଥିଲେ ଯେ, ଭାରତର ଜାତୀୟ ପତାକା ଗୋଟିଏ ରଙ୍ଗର ହେଉ ଏବଂ ଏହା ଗାଢ ପୀତବର୍ଣ୍ଣ ହେବା ବଧେୟ |ତାପରେ କିପରି କେନ୍ଦ୍ରର କଂଗ୍ରେସ ସରକାର " ପୀତ ଆତଙ୍କ " ବିଷୟରେ ଅମୁଳକ ଆରୋପର ପ୍ରସାର କରୁଛନ୍ତି ?

ବନ୍ଧୁଗଣ, ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ଆମ୍ଭେ ମାନେ ଭାରତୀୟ ତ୍ରିରଙ୍ଗା ପତକା ତଲେ ମୁଣ୍ଡ ନୁଆଁଉଛୁ | ଏହାର ଗାଢ ପୀତବର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଅନନ୍ୟ ଗୌରବର ଅଧିକାରୀ ଅଟେ |କେନ୍ଦ୍ରସରକାରର ଭାରତୀୟ ଜନସାଧାରଣକୁ ଉତ୍ତର ଦବାକୁ ପଡିବ ଯେ, ପତାକାର ତିନି ରଙ୍ଗ ମଧ୍ୟରୁ ଗାଢପୀତ ବର୍ଣ୍ଣ କଣ ଏହାର ରଙ୍ଗ ଯୋଗୁଁ ଆତଙ୍କବାଦର ଚିହ୍ନ ପାଲଟିଯାଇଛି ?

ବନ୍ଧୁଗଣ, ବେଦରୁ ବିବେକାନନ୍ଦ ଅଧ୍ୟୟନରୁ ଜଣାପଡେ ଯେ, ମୁନିଋଷି ଏବଂ ମହାତ୍ମା ମାନେ ଶାଶ୍ୱତ ପ୍ରେମର ନିର୍ଦଶନ ସ୍ଵରୁପ ପୀତ ବସ୍ତ୍ର ପରିଧାନ କରୁଥିଲେ |ପୀତ ବସନ ଧାରୀ ତରୁଣ ସନ୍ୟାସୀ ବିବେକାନନ୍ଦ ରାଷ୍ଟ୍ରୀୟ ସୌଜନ୍ୟରେ ଭାରତର ଗୌରବକୁ ବୃଦ୍ଧି କରିଛନ୍ତି | ବିବେକାନନ୍ଦଙ୍କ ପରି ଏପରି ତପସ୍ଵୀଙ୍କ ତ୍ୟାଗ ସମ୍ଭବତଃ କଂଗେସ ସରକାରଙ୍କର ବିପଥଗାମୀ ପୀତ ଆତଙ୍କ ପରମ୍ପରାର ଏକ ଅଂଶ ଅଟେ କି ?

ଭୋଟ ବ୍ୟାଙ୍କର ରାଜନୀତି ଏବଂ ତୁଷ୍ଟ ରାଜନୀତି ଦେଶକୁ ନଷ୍ଟକରି ଦେଇଛି | "ପୀତ ଆତଙ୍କ"ର ଅମୂଳକ ଆରୋପ କୁଟିଳ ରାଜନୀତି ଭୋଟ ବ୍ୟାଙ୍କର ରାଜନୀତି ଏବଂ ତୁଷ୍ଟ ରାଜନୀତି ଖେଳ ଏହାର ଏକ ଅଂଶ ଭାବେ ପ୍ରସାରିତ ହୋଇଯାଇଛି | ଏପରି କୁତ୍ସିତ ରାଜନୀତିର ଖେଳକୁ ଦେଶ ଆଦୌ ସହ୍ୟ କରିବ ନାହିଁ |

ଆମର ସମୃଦ୍ଧ ପୁରାତନ ସଂସ୍କୃତିର ଏପରି ଅପମାନ ସହ୍ୟ କରିବା ଆଦୌ ସମ୍ଭବ ନୁହେଁ |

ଯୁବ ବନ୍ଧୁଗଣ, ଜାଗ୍ରତ ହୁଅନ୍ତୁ ଏବଂ ଏହାର ଉତ୍ତର ଦାବୀ କରନ୍ତୁ |

ଆପଣଙ୍କର,
