[Reader-list] Modi bashing is secularism.!

[Rajen Uppinangadi]

Dear Taha,

   I very much appreciate your scholarly works in MNIC cards, on issues
raised by you on the issuance of these cards, amount of hard work and
efforts put into dig the information and enlighten the readers of the same.

 But human prejudice at play when it comes to talks about Narendra Modi, is
my perception, that you seem to have in very big quantity.. Unlike some
other leaders of 1984 riots, he did not lead the mobs to riots, he did not
visit police stations to get the release of detained rioters, but many
blacksheep in media became celebrities by Modi bashing day in and day out,
some even got Padma awards for sycophancy of Sonia with Modi bashings.

  The truth of the matter is Modi being the chief minister, ordered firing
bullets at the rioters, irrespective of the faith, they belonged to, and
worst,  over 200 who died were hindus by bullets of the police as against 93
muslims. That should put at rest the individuals like Theesta who has brief
for rioters and terror accused if they are muslims.? But no, the media went
on showing the riotsfootage from archives file display time and again at the
time of elections, perhaps thinking that voter is too naive, too ignorant of
the strings that are being pulled in media houses. Thus the more the
vitriolic media, more votes for BJP, which is branded communal just as Tarun
Gogoi had deals with a Attarwala to be in power, Owaisi in "understanding"
with Congress, thus proving the point that all those who talk of secularism
have different yardstick to measure the "secularism" in vote banks of
politics.

  In free India, where rule of laws have to be uniform, the rioters if are
from "minority" always got the benefits of being in riots from
Congress,whether as eioters or as victims,  with MP and or MLA tickets,
Gulberg MP was no exception.Jaffer Sharieff in Bangalore is good example of
how to breed riots with unemployed youth of the community. Unfortunately all
these have seen poetic justice as they live longer than their progeny and
suffer most with loss of their loved ones in front of their eyes.
Hariprasad, rowdy sheeter of karnataka is the MP who as student leader has
enough cases against him of heinous crimes, all washed away once he became
MP. All parties have their share of "metal" to cut metal in other parties.
But to generalise Modi and have prejudiced view of good governance is not
exactly expected of citizens. Modi, true to his oath of office, took action
without fear or favour, withiut any favour to any sections of the society,
unlike Congress which always gave compensation to victims if they were from
one community, as other individuals were too divided to fight for any
rights.IN the past 62 years of rule, the citizens have seen the role of
Congress and its secular credentials too well, and left parties which had
some credibilty, have also lost this, with their recent behaviour in West
Bengal for Tasleema, with madani in Kerala, with land scams for industries.



   Basic issue here is in democratic governance, religion has no place to
pamper the individuals of any faith, if one political party has such
tendency it is congress and others have to match to survive in politics
which is bad for democracy.

Day in day out we saw the english visual media pull out archived footage of
riots to please Congress and atleast in every half an hour this was repeated
as if the riots had taken place in Gujarath only, and where muslims were
rioting such footage was shelved for good.! I wish the media had also shown
the zombies who come out on fridays after prayers, intoxicated by hate from
the speeches of the mullas, destry the public properties, hurl stones at
public transport and injure innocents. Then, only then, the likes of Jaffer
sharieff and Owaisi would not dare to have guns in their college campuses
run by them.

Will ever media do it.? It needs lots of courage and self belief in
democracy as these men and women in media are more keen on their bloated
egos, their painted faces and shaved underarms, revealing cleavages on tv
shows, with the type of designer wear they wear as. celebrities. !

Rajen.
