Astute commentary on perverted Indian secularism esp. congress is here...
But, Congress is a secular party
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->âBut, Congress is a secular partyâ
I think I can safely call this week going-by as the âTheatre of the Absurdâ week in the history of âsecularâ India.
But, before that, let me tell you something: âCongress is a secular partyâ
Donât you forget that! Bhool naa jaanaa, â¦â¦â¦.
Here is how the week started: While I believe in the respect for all religion and had some inkling of what the repercussions of the Danish cartoon controversy might/would create, this thing is going on and on and still surprised me. One after another country faced Muslim riots and property was burnt/destroyed and India is no exception. As of now, I think many people have died in this. This UPA govt has sent strong note to Danish govt on this. Didnât I tell you: âCongress is a secular partyâ
One of the Election Commissioner, Navin Chawla, an IAS officer, a hero of the Emergency Era under Indira Gandhi, and a close friend of Sonia Gandhi has been found taking money from Congress MPs. He flatly refused taking money from communal BJP MP, Sahib Singh Verma because we all know that âCongress is a secular partyâ
Raja Bhaiyya is re-inducted into UP cabinet, in the august company of criminal dons like Mukhtar Ansari, Afzal Ansari, et al. This is the same SP which is supported by Congress in UP. But then, what to do to keep BJP out? Unlike BJP, âCongress is a secular partyâ
The same SP plans to bring a No-Confidence motion against this UPA govt and make a third front over the issue of Iran Vote. After all, how can the UPA govt vote against Iran, a Muslim country, especially when âCongress is a secular partyâ?
Meanwhile, UPA govt announced the formation of a âMinistry of Minoritiesâ under A R Antulay, the same person accused in the cement scandal 30 years ago. BJP predictably alleged the govt of indulging in a lot of minorityism. But, what the hell, because âCongress is a secular partyâ
The secular President in his address unveiled a 15-point program for the minorities (read âMuslimsâ); the details are awaited. BJP claims that this is sheer Muslim vote Bank appeasement. Let them say anything, because, âCongress is a secular partyâ
After failing in their efforts to bring 5% reservation of jobs in private sector and after a rebuff from the Allahabad Court on the non-minority status of Aligarh Muslim Univ, HRD Minister, Arjun Singh assured Muslims that UPA will bring a bill or amend AMU Act to ensure reservation for minorities (read âMuslimsâ). After all, Muslim votes ka sawaal hai kyonki âCongress is a secular partyâ
Then, out of the blues came the news that UPA govt, with the help of Justice Sachar committee, has asked the armed forces to do a head-count of Muslims, after the same had been done in Navy and Air-Force. NDA claimed this is a preposterous, atrocious and divisive move, while Pranab Mukherjee claimed that the secular nature of army would stay and blamed BJP of vote bank politics. Many army-men and veterans have also expressed apprehensions and strongly disagreed with this exercise. Imagine what would our âsecular mediaâ would have said if BJP had asked for such a thing. This is only to bring about a quota for Muslims in the Armed Forces because âCongress is a secular partyâ
The doyen of media and the owner of newspaper, âThe Hindustan Times, Shobhana Bhartia was nominated to Rajya Sabha by the UPA govt. Simple! Because âCongress is a secular partyâ
Then we saw on Zee TV, the âSting Operationâ news of the âTapping of the phones of Justice Variava in Sept 2005â at a time when he was looking into the fodder-scam case of âsecularâ leader, Lalloojee. The govt denies this, just as it had done in Amar Singh phone-tapping case. At an emergency meeting of the Home Ministry, the Home Secy asked Secy DoT and Delhi Police as to how the hell details of this could reach Zee TV and asked DoT to come up with more stringent guidelines so that this information may not reach private channels in future (when next Phone-Tapping takes place). After all, âCongress is a secular partyâ
Not deterred, another TV channel, CNN-IBN showed the live pictures of a SP MP, Mehboob Ali, openly offering his services and services of his Lal-Batti kee car for ferrying heroine in his car for a hefty fee. But, kya Karen? Congress is taking and giving support to Samajwadi Party in UP and like SP, âCongress is a secular partyâ
A SP MP in the Rajya Sabha, Shahid Siddiqui rushed into the well of the house and tried to tear his clothes. Congress MPs kept quite because âCongress is a secular partyâ
Another news item: Sonia woos minorities in Assam, with sops and assurance for illegal Bangla Deshi immigrants and Muslims. I told you naa kee Desh kee neta Sonia Gandhi and âCongress is a secular partyâ
With Tarlochan Singh, Chairman, National Commission of Minorities retiring, UPA is considering appointing Tahir Mehmood as the next chairman, though he has already been the Chairman several times. After all, youâll also agree with me kee âCongress is a secular partyâ
As a result of the Danish cartoon, a Pakistani cleric, Qureshi, announced a $ 1 Million bounty on the head of the cartoonist who drew Prophet Mohammed. The local mosque, his religious school and the local jewelerâs association would give this money for the cause. Remember similar fatwa on Salman Rushdie during Congress regime? I know, Baba kee âCongress is a secular partyâ
Now, not to be left behind, UP SP Minister, Yaqoob Qureshi in Meerut announced a âSupari Killing in a Foreign Landâ award of Rs. 51 Crores, in a large rally, for âanyone who eliminates the Danish cartoonist who dared to make the caricature of Prophet Mohammedâ. Not only this, he promised the assassin gold equivalent to his weight and for this, people of Meerut and Muslim women were ready to sell their gold jewelry to contribute for the reward, he declared. But, Congress canât do anything because Law & Order is a state subject and âCongress is a secular partyâ
But, what takes the cake in this whole episode is the role and statement of Principal Secretary (Home), UP, Mr. Alok Sinha, an IAS officer, that âQureshi was just expressing the sentiments of the people of Meerut and this does not constitute any criminal offence. There is no offence to make such an announcement about a person living in a distant foreign countryâ, Sinha told reporters. BTW, the Indian law provides for 7-year jail, but in India, you know, âThe law takes its own courseâ. And, what that legal course is, you all know so well from Narsimha Raoâs time, donât you? Kya yaar, bhool gaye kee âCongress is a secular partyâ
I am not able to decide whether to laugh or to cry at this secular âTheatre of Absurdâ.
But, one thing is decided about which we all can laugh and cry kee--âCongress is a secular partyâ
