In which basket does Vasant place the RSS, VHP, Shiv Sena, HJS, Sanathan Sanstha, Bajrang Dal - the Desh Premi or Desh Drohi? Please also give reasons why. Response- 1.These are not my personal perceptions-There were polls taken on NDTV,CNN IBN and some other news channels on the subject. Incidentally,Arundhati Roy and I are both Alumni of The Lawrence School,Lovedale near Ooty.We recently had an Alumni reunion and the general consensus was that she should be ignored and allowed to express herself-the law on sedition will take it's course. http://lawrenceschoollovedale.blogspot.com/2009/09/susanna-arundhati-roy-ex-lawrencian.html
2.I had stated my views very clearly.If the parties mentioned love India and I have no reasons to assume they do not, they are obviously Desh Premis.This also applies to The Indian Union Muslim League,SIMI,PFI etc,if they love India.What is it that is so difficult to understand in the matter so as to necessitate a "clarification"? Love of India by Indians transcends Religion,Caste,Creed and Political Beliefs.
