Urging the RSS to stop rhetoric which was creating fear among Muslims, president of Minorities Forum of India, Azam Khan said the statement issued yesterday at the meeting of the Sangh’s supreme body at Bangalore was an indication of its future agenda. Cases should be registered against all those indulging in such rhetorics under the relevant laws of the land, he demanded. If present laws were not effective to deal with such forces, new laws should be enacted. He also called for setting up of a special court to try the cases related to the Godhra carnage.
Doesn't matter what the laws are as long as you own or have a long-term lease on the enforcers. Barring that, round up as many people as you can find who can't count higher than 11 without taking their shoes off and have a riot.
In New Delhi, Christian leaders criticised the RSS resolution as having the seeds of future tragedy and demanded that the prime minister condemn it immediately. The statement must be cause for grave concern not only among Muslims and other minorities in India, but to civil society. The RSS statement only vocalises the utter contempt and disregard that the Sangh Parivar, including its units such as the VHP and Bajrang Dal, hold for the very concept of democracy that is based on equity, fraternity and justice, and the institutions created to ensure these values in society, the statement said.
The very essence of dictatorship is deciding who's eligible for "equity, fraternity and justice" and who're the Ûntermenschen.
In Sopur, Minister of state for External affairs Omar Abdullah charged RSS with indulging in dirty politics and said the resoultion was only aimed at creating communal tension in the country. "This could be done only by cheap people", he said while referring to the resolution and asked RSS leaders what resolution could they adopt for Jammu and Kashmir where Hindus were in minority and Muslims in majority.
Smeared with offal and crawling with flies, the RSS leadership wondered absently what was for lunch... |
