    *Home Minister’s Apology: Congress’ Cowardly Capitulation to the
    RSS and BJP*

    21.02.2012


    After frankly acknowledging the organizational role of the RSS and
    BJP in spawning terrorism in the country, Home Minister Shinde has
    suddenly backtracked and buckled under pressure and apologized to
    the BJP.Mr. Shinde’s statement at Jaipur about ‘training camps of
    both BJP and RSS promoting Hindu terrorism’ were factually correct
    given the political and religious identity of those involved in
    the Samjhauta, Malegaon and Mecca Masjid blasts. His clubbing the
    term ‘ Hindu’ with ‘terrorism’ is nothing to apologise for in a
    country where state agencies, politicians and the media routinely
    refer to ‘jihadi terrorism’ without any compunctions.


    By making this apology Mr. Shinde has sent a dubious message to
    agencies investigating the activities of terrorists linked to the
    RSS and its associated organisations such as the Hindu Sansathan,
    Jai Vande Matram, Kalyani Samiti and Abhinav Bharat. His apology
    will only serve to strengthen current prejudice and institutional
    bias against the minority community in terror investigations.
    While terror may have no religion, as Congress and BJP agree with
    TV anchors, the fact remains that Indian police and other agencies
    routinely target and vilify the Muslim community whenever a
    terrorist attack takes place.


    Mr Shinde’s apology, coming as it does just days after the secret
    execution of Afzal Guru, another condemnable act of cowardly
    capitulation by the UPA government, we can only wonder how far the
    Congress will go to adopt the fascist and communal agenda of the
    RSS as its very own?
