[The exchange, as it has appeared on the FB page is reproduced below. In this context, it's worth mentioning that the joint condemnation, issued on April 8th by thirteen anti-BJP parties, of the recent spree of communal violence and demand for strict punishment of the culprits is not endorsed by, among others, the Shiv Sena, the AAP, the SP and the BSP.]
I/III. Salutes to Communist Party of India(M)'s/CPI(M) #BrindaKarat for standing in front of a JCB machine to to get the demolition drive against #Muslims' properties Halted in #Delhi’s #Jahangirpuri. The bolldozing was going on despite the Supreme Court's order to stop it right away. This will remain a defining image. More power to you madam. You step is a slap on the face of #Delhi government led by #ArvindKejriwal and his sidekicks. Ideally it's he who should have gone there to get the orgy of fascism stopped but we all know who he is and his level of hypocrisy is totally unmatched. II/III. [Rejoinder:] I am sure most of the people in here are level headed. But i fail to understand why is it such a difficult task for us muslims to accept that what we are asking of kejriwal is to commit political suicide. When there were CAA protests in delhi and delhi police unleashed the brutality on Jamia students, Manish Sisodia took a stron stance in support of the protestors and against police and hindutva rioters. What happened next.....he was about to lose election despite being so popular as the deputy cm. And could only win with an extremely thin margin. The indian hindu population has been so radicalized that no matter what you do.....if you seem to be sympathetic towards muslims....it becomes impossible to win elections. Moreover if you have to dethrone bjp then you can't show sympathy towards muslims. Now kejriwal has lost every bit of power he initially enjoyed and has practically been made powerless after the new NCT govt act passed by the parliament. Now he can either show support for Muslims and lose the political capital he has gained even amongst muslim hating Hindu electrorate and become the good guy and we strt appreciating him for his truthfulness and lose elections or bear with the pressure ....don't show any compassion....get elected.....prove itself as a national alternative against BJP....get into power and after getting into power don't persecute muslims. I don't want kejriwal or any other political outfit to give muslims any special status...just want us to be able to go about doing what we do....without persecution .....kejriwal cannot shouldn't and doesn't want to get the votes based on anti muslim bigotry. He has never done that...neither has he done anything to specifically target muslims. But it doesn't matter how much we expect from him that he speak up for muslims, he wouldn't do that because of political reality and compulsion. The important question for us is that what are we going to do about it? We can either characterize him as another muslim hating politician and shun him in elections.......he can still get elected in different states....without getting muslim votes....but after we make him lose elections on all the muslim seats....we would still have no representation in the government....or worst.....we start voting for Congress.....and hindus vote for aaap and bjp....and finally BJP wins all the election.....who would be at the greater loss...except muslims? .....it is simple ...for kejriwal there are only two options .....speak up for muslims...lose elections.....and get lost......don't speak for muslims get elected....replace bjp.....don't persecute muslims......but for kejriwal and muslims....second option is better........it feels good when Rahul gandi or cpm speak for muslims.....but it doesn't actually help Muslim as much as it helps bjp to make them politically irrelevent......bjp is pushing it hard to make such a situation where it becomes really tough for him not to speak for muslims.....and once he does that.....the BJP can push him into the corner....coz aap is the only political adversary capable of building a narrative which BJP finds difficult to counter nationally. III. [Surrejoinder:] Syed Wahhaj Azhar Rizvi So It's good for Kejriwal to put the entire blame on the Bangladeshi and the Rohingyas. Till how long he will fool the masses in the name of the so called "political suicide". Just because BJP will get strong one should speaking over such atrocities? Today Manish Sisodia too blamed Rohingyas and the Bangladeshis, in fact the entire script of AAP leaders was same as if like the BJP ones they had been asked to read a pre decided script on the Television. They fear using the term Muslim. With a party having national ambition for how long AAP is going to only act as a municipal party talking about road, drainage etc. Is not communalism an issue they should talk about? Did you see how they behaved during the Nizamuddin Markaz issue? Could not they have remained silent rather than communalism the same? I am not asking them to speak in Muslims' favour but at least they could have silent? Had not creating a mess out of Nizamuddin issue benefited BJP too? This argument that Kejriwal is not speaking for Muslims because he will loose is not going to stand every time. You must remember how after the NIzamuddin issue they used to issue a separate Markaz list for the Covid patients? Why so, had not doing so too benefited the BJP? There are various instances about the blatant hypocrisy of the party, in every crisis they keep on unmasking themselves more. <https://www.facebook.com/100001522162350/posts/5213585865368767/> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
