TitBits (009) And we have an unusual, unexpected and surprising news in today's dailies. "BJP DISAPPOINTED US- Sangh Parivar" (NT-11 Oct) "VHP IS UNHAPPY WITH BJP" (GT-11 Oct) The Secularist in India would want to celebrate their good fortune, to see a rift between the "Siamese Twins" and be rid of them with their internal bickerings and infightings. But then, just hold on. There is no such luck. This news item is a ploy to put the watchdogs off the scent. WHO IS THE VHP TRYING TO FOOL/??? Check out the page 5 of Gomantak Times (dtd. 9 Oct, 2002 -'In Brief' section). The caption reads as follows:- "Deputy Prime Minister L.K. Advani, right, and Bharatiya Janta Party President Venkaiya Naidu, left, during a party workers meeting in Ahmedabad yesterday. The meeting is in preparation for the coming election in Gujarat. In the backdrop is a painting of Hindu God Krishna blowing a conch shell, which he did, according to Hindu mythology, at the start of the war of the Pandavs against the evil Kauravas." Aren't these two, the leaders of the BJP and the promoters of VHP sponsored communalism? Aren't these two, the integral part of the BJP-VHP Siamese Twins? Is the Gujarat elections a Hindu (religious) war against the muslims, the Christians and others? Is'nt this blatantly apparent from the backdrop of Lord Krishna giving the call for a religious war? If India is still a secular country with a secular constitution, the Supreme Court and the Election Commission should take a special note of this blatant violation of the code of conduct and prevent these communal vipers from spreading their venom. This one blatant aberration must be able to get the BJP de-recognised as India's political party registered under the "Representation of People's Act".of the Constitution of India Referring to the NT's editorial page commentary "Fighting Terrorism: Not By Arms Alone" by Praful Bidwai (Oct. 10, 2002), what the author seems to suggest is that the entire episode of Swaminarayan Temple massacre could have been stage managed for creating a diversion for the ethnic cleansing that is underway in Gujarat with the complicity of the likes of Advani who have shown that they have zero tolerance to the minorities. On the one hand, the Gujarat police suddenly seemed to be very efficient as against their miserable showing during the post Godhra riots in pacifying and controlling the crowds. On the other hand, the NSG (National Security Guard), a highly trained Commando unit could not capture the two terrorists alive. They pump 46 and 60 bullets respectively into the two men, instead of using stun-grenades, thereby eliminating the chance of interrogating them. So who were these terrorists?? And, what is still worse is that the GAURAV YATRA of the Nazi Modi goes on with added vigour with an assurance to the nation by none other than India's second in command and the deputy Prime Minister, L.K. Advani that this Nazi will be the Chief Minister of Gujarat, again, if BJP wins the elections. Utilising God's help to win elections will be as counter productive for the BJP as the results have shown in the elections of Jammu and Kashmir where BJP has retained just one seat out of their previously held 8 seats. This may well be a prophessy. The BJP- VHP parivar must well know that "WHEN MAN PROPOSES, GOD DISPOSES", for no God (which includes 'Ram' and 'Krishna') will allow the rabid fanatics to claim glory in His name at the cost of innocent lives, distruction of property and terror in living. Furthermore, the hypocrisy of the master minds behind the Babri Masjid demolition viz. L.K. Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi and Uma Bharti is exposed in the "BETWEEN THE LINES" commentary by Kuldip Nayar (NT-9. Oct, 2002) captioned "DALITS: STILL SHUNNED BY SOCIETY" where the author reasons that the three masterminds should not be hiding behind mere technicalities of a wrongly issued notification but should be consenting to be tried and acquitted if they are innocent, for the satisfaction of the posterity. Therefore, it is very essential for the nation to take note of the intentions of these leaders and the destination they are taking the nation to.
