TO HELL AND BACK The tweet by Defence Minister that going to Pakistan is hell seems to be the norm everybody has to follow blindly to profess Nationalism per se. Mrs Ramaya the actress turned politician had been on a SAARC visit to Pakistan along with other Nationals. She felt in her opinion that it is not going to hell, people are friendly and she was treated well, and that is her experience and personal and observation. This is a new brand of pseudo Nationalism defined by BJP, It is said that they came to power on the plank of Nationalism, then when they were only two M.P`s of BJP what was the brand of Nationalism ? Mr Parikar is yet to get the hell experience by his personal visit. The P.M visit on Christmas eve illconceived, Rajanath visit and those of other functionaries does not appear to be hellish experience, because they do so so in official capacity. Why Arun Jaitely has cancelled his official visit to hell. The filling of sedition charges against Ramaya are unprecedented example of intolerance charges stretched to far. The court has accepted the sedition petition, but it depends how it will decide .Whoever does not toe the line and thinking, sentiments of BJP are treated as antinationals, That is what happened in case of cow protection , beef eating,killing of rationalists and more recently flogging of Dalits etc. Ramaya and her parents have refused to express apology and rightly so. She has not incited publicly anyone to violence to attract the archaic provision, vestige of colonial dictum as pronounced by S.C judgement., Ever since the BJP has come to power there is chaos and confusion, unrest in the whole country, because other than BJP nobody is a Nationalist This attitude of intolerance in a secular country has taken the India to hell Every act, utterance, comment of dissent is interpreted as anti National
