TitBits (003) Swaminarain Temple Massacre in Gandhinagar, Gujarat.
Foremost, personally as an individual, and, as the President of the Goa Su-Raj Party, I strongly condemn the above killings of innocent and un-suspecting people for reasons of pure terrorism or religious fanaticism. I say that this madness must 'STOP' at once. Having said that, I would like to take my readers back to my posting on GoaGoans, GoaNet etc. dated 23rd. February, 2002 "Musings - by Goasuraj". I reproduce the concerned item for the reference of my readers. "Ram Sevaks & Ayodhya. After the criminal negligence by the Congress government which saw the demolition of the national monument called the Babri Masjid at Ayodhya, the present NDA government under the BJP's Vajpayee is heading for the same . Thousands of inflamed, incited and crazed Ram Sevaks are descending on Ayodhya, primed by none others but our hypocrite leaders in the government who want to see the Ram temple erected, calling it the wish of 800 million hindus. The 800 million hindus that they are talking about need some decent food on their plates and some decent clothes on the bodies even if they cannot expect a roof over their heads. Advani must have already prepared the speech that he will deliver to the nation. "We tried to pacify the Sevaks not to mix cement and lay bricks. But they would'nt listen to the voice of reason. We tried like hell, but we failed."' Mr. Advani, you are the home minister of the nation. You are called upon to declare this zone as a sensitive zone and invoke section 144 around this area immediately, whether you like it or not, until the courts decide on the matter. If you don't, you will be going down in history as a double hypocrite. That goes for our dear PM Vajpayee too. Not a single death should arise out of this exercise. And you two will be solely responsible if that happens." The above sounds like a prophesy, but anyone could see what was coming. First it was "Godhra". Then, followed the ungodly riots, which were deliberately allowed to continue, by the Gujarat Nazi, abetted by Advani and Vajpayee, directly or indirectly, whichever way you may want to put it. Then followed the "Gaurav Yatra" and the taunting of the minorities by the 'back patted' HERO of the Gujaratis, the Gujarat Nazi Narendra Modi, in the shameless reference to the muslims in relief camps, "Hum Do, Humare Pachis" (We two, ours twentyfive"). (It is just as well that Mr. Maim Aktar of Patna has filed a suit against this Nazi for using the above slogan.) And now, the Swaminarain Temple massacre. I, for one, do not see any Kashmir here. I see a direct retaliation. We have swallowed enough of scape goats for a long time now. The two, who are now appealing for peace and telling the people of Gujarat not to get provoked, never showed similar sentiments when 1000 odd men women and children were mercilessly and inhumanly massacred during the post Godhra riots. It was the ethnic cleansing then. It is the terrorists now. When the Gujarat police was deliberately instructed not to react during the riots by the chief minister himself, what does it make? A love story? Was it not the same terrorism? Worst. Against your own people?. The police official and the bureaucrats who listened to the Nazi and abided by his instructions should drown themselves, or better still, jump from the tallest buildings. The country is being led by religious fanatics, and, Advani is the ring leader of them all. He must be stopped by all means if we want the Indian nation not to be ripped apart. He has gotten away with Babri Masjid. And that is the saddest part. What is happening is just the tip of the iceberg. And, with the fuel for the fire that is supplied by the Gujarat Nazi, and the fundamentalist leadership at the top, Pakistan, our sworn enemy is only likely to take a huge advantage. President Musharraf has already given the world the taste of Gujarat in his speech at the UN. It is some consolation that the NRIs of USA are getting their act together, not to fund the religious fanatics in India. The decision of the Maharashtra government to ban VHP and Bajrang Dal is the step in the right direction. India is a secular country for God's sake. It must remain that way. The response to the above suggested ban on VHP in Maharashtra " We are only engaged in creating awareness among Hindus in a constitutional and democratic way". "We are neither violent nor anti-national" reeks of hypocrisy. Ripping open pregnant women's abdomen and spearing the unborn fetuses is a fine way of engaging in creating awareness. It is nothing but generating and marketing hate against the minorities that the VHP is engaged in. They must realize that hate begets hate. The reports in the newspapers about the Suva national spearing his own daughter mistaking her for a 'pig' , is what hate does. You want to kill your own people. There is no such thing as religious majority or religious minority. And those who prey on these sensitive sentiments, must be effectively wiped out, specially, in a nation that sports secular constitution. In a nation like India, to think that millions of people are starving to the extent that they have to eat grass and leaves just to keep themselves alive. And here, we are patting the back of communal wipers who are going around with yatras to consolidate their position in votebank politics on full stomachs. This goes a long way in showing our national priorities for concern. As I have said above, even a single death resulting from the madness of Ayodhya, it will be on the heads of Advani and Vajpayee. Now we have thousands of people massacred as a direct result of the policies of these two men and their sycophants. The Nation should be ashamed of them and those who are supporting them. If the future killings, bloodshed & miseries are to be avoided, our political leadership at the centre must change, 'NOW'. The BJP has played its role and it has miserably failed the nation on all counts. But this is the voice in the wilderness which will never be heard until it is too late. Suffice it to say that no matter how feeble the voice may be, once uttered, it is never lost. It will be preserved in the complex labyrinths of the universe, to echo back in the millenniums to come. And, as for this particular piece, I shall not use my usual cheerful "Cheers" to sign off, for, there is nothing to cheer about when it comes to the massacre of our own people by our own elected leaders who use religion to promote their political careers.
