[Reader-list] Mallika Sarabhai's Public Meeting in JNU on 31st March

[prakash ray]

Hi all,

Some people have talked about Dr Mallika Sarabhai's visit to JNU. As an
organizer of the meeting in JNU, I would like to say something on this. She
was in Delhi on 31st to attend a prograame where she received an award.
Since she was here, we decided to have an interactive session with her and
also to get volunteers and support. I would also like to mention that a
large number of students and teachers along with people from outside JNU
attended the session and had a long conversation with her on her mission and
decision to contest election from Gandhinagar.

As far as the choice of venue is concerned, it could be any place. If
someone is bothered, let me remind him that JNU along with the secular,
democratic and progressive sections of society stood up against the carnage
in Gujarat presided over by the then Home Minister L K Advani and the CM of
the state Narendra Modi and carried out by the fascists of VHP-Bajrang
Dal-BJP under the command of the monstorous RSS. A lunatic called Pravin
Togadia (GURU of Varun Gandhi) alongwith Mr Modi demanded that JNU should be
closed. However, JNU is still running but Togadia has been barred by the Law
from visiting a large parts of the country. Anyway, when we heard that Dr
Mallika Sarabhai has decided to contest against somebody who led the
destruction of the social fabric of India, we decided to support her in
every possible way. Her fight is very important for the entire country. Mr
Advani is not only a candidate nor only a BJP leader, he is the man who
communalized the society and masterminded uncountable atrocities against
minorities continuing till date. He led the violent mob responsible of the
destruction of the Babri Mosque. What to say about his role when the Carnage
2002 took place!! Home Minister!! Watching!! Shame!! He writes in his book
that he was not aware about the decisions taken during the Kandhar Plane
Hijack. Who kept you in the dark, Mr Lauh Purush?? ........

In this backdrop, the contest in Gandhinagar becomes vital for the future of
the Indian democracy. However, all seats are important. The communal
fascists must be defeated along with the bancrupt Congress. We have
alternatives. We will elect them. Come one! Come all!!
