The more I think more I believe that Sonia is working for disintegration of India. Every communal policy is being implemented with missionary zeal. The modern day Jaichands (which are dime a dozen in Congress) are assiduously working to drive wedges between the communities. These divisions basically become dedicated vote banks. It is shameful to have irrelevant prime minister Manmohan Singh. I don't think it may not be known to him how harmful some of these policies are to the nation. It is like creating divisions which have not been seen since Jinnah. Take a read.
A communal policy of Sonia Gandhi

The Congress, it seems, will go to any extent to promote its pernicious minorityism disguised as official policy. The latest move of the Congress, which has come in the form of a UPA Government initiative, is perhaps the most diabolical attempt by the party to fracture India along communal lines. Reports indicate that the Government, over-riding objections by the Union Law Ministry, is actively considering a new system of allocating funds for key social sector programmes: Instead of looking at secular social development indices of a particular State, it will look at the communal profile of the beneficiaries.
Of the total spending, 18.4 per cent will be reserved for religious minority communities; this will be further divided proportionately among the beneficiaries, depending on their numerical strength. As a result, if Muslims outnumber Christians in a particular State - as they do in most States - they will end up with a larger share of social development funds, grossly disproportionate to their overall demographic profile. Not only will such a system, if and when it is introduced, unleash communal discontent, it will widen the chasm that separates the majority and the minority communities.
The 'minority' tag will no longer merely denote the numerical strength of a community in secular India, it shall come to represent the badge of political favouritism. As the Law Ministry has sensibly pointed out, such patent communal bias in policy formulation will violate Article 14 and negate the spirit of Article 38 of the Constitution.
As if allocation of social welfare funds along communal lines were not bad enough, the Congress is also pushing for a separate Plan allocation for minority communities. Seen along with the other outrageous acts of minorityism of this Government, India's secular fabric and spirit are both threatened. No less distressing is the contempt with which the Constitution is being undermined repeatedly to satiate the Congress's insatiable and repulsive lust for minority votes.
To argue, as those who subscribe to the Congress's cynical and perverse politics do, that Government will be able to better focus on the social, educational and economic uplift of the minority communities through communal allocation of social development funds, is patently misleading. The plight of the Muslim underclass, for instance, is no worse than that of the Hindu underclass.
Is the Government then suggesting that it shall henceforth overlook the latter's plight to ensure a better deal for the former? Few will doubt that the Congress and the UPA regime that it heads are openly hostile towards the concept of a neutral state that does not pander to any religious or linguistic community.
On the contrary, this is an ideologically bankrupt, ethically corrupt and morally tainted regime that is relentlessly pursuing an insidious communal agenda that neatly fits into the matrix of Mohammed Ali Jinnah's two-nation theory and will soon force a social partition on the nation whose consequences will be far more devastating than those of the political partition of 1947.
This is a regime that does not care about the future of India; it is led by a party that is obsessed with vile electoral arithmetic and is driven by the obnoxious obsession of individuals who wish to ruin social harmony in order to be seen as messiahs of Muslims and Christians. It is not sufficient for us to depend on the judiciary to undo the damage that is being inflicted by the Congress and its cohorts in the UPA. The people must stand up and resist.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
