The most disturbing part of this disgraceful conference is the following: > > Pramod Mutalik, President, Shriram Sena in South India, made it clear > that the Sena doesn't follow Gandhian principle of non-violence. "We are > not Gandhians. Non-violence as >a form of agitation cannot take up anywhere. > We would rather follow in the footsteps of > Bhagat Singh<http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Bhagat-Singh and > >Subhash Chandra<http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Subhash-Chandra Bose," Mutalik > said. > ...................................................... >Without mincing words, he said "We can achieve our objective only with >aggression". >
It can only be described as a clear expression of a criminal mentality. I hope some kind of anti-goondaism task force is keeping a close watch on this man. As regards the rest of the crap, the following claim that the Indian constitution was not secular before 1976 is false: QUOTE Dr Neel Madhav Das, President, 'Tarun Hindu' organization, pointed out that when India became a republic in 1960, there was nothing called as secular in the constitution of India. UNQUOTE Here is what article 25 section 1 of the constitution, promulgated in 1949, says: QUOTE 25. Freedom of conscience and free profession, practice and propagation of religion (1) Subject to public order, morality and health and to the other provisions of this Part, all persons are equally entitled to freedom of conscience and the right freely to profess, practise and propagate religion UNQUOTE I have to grant that people who do not have a conscience would not know what freedom of conscience is. And by the way, India became a republic in 1950, not 1960.
