Will vandalism, arson,
killings stop in India?
The germs of arson, killings
and vandalism run through blood
of Hindu organizations. There is
no denying the fact that the Hindu
outfits got extraordinary power to
organize communal violence
across India under the nose of
Narendra Modi. These powerful
Hindu outfits feels that they want
to correct history so whatever they
are doing is correct. The act of
vandalism began in the prestigious
Jawaharlal
Nehru
University(JNU) when goons
affiliated to the Akhil Bharatiya
Vidyarthi Parishad(ABVP), a student
wing affiliated to the ruling
dispensation, entered JNU campus in the middle of
the night and beaten students mercilessly. It is unfortunate
the police could not arrest the criminals till
date despite CCTV footage.
The same set of people entered Jamia Millia
Islamia University and beaten boys and girls without
any guilt or shame. The girls reported that the goons
hit their private parts. There is no arrest of such goons
till date despite CCTV footage. The same set of people
did not rest and went to Shaheen Bagh, a place in
the capital of India, and disturbed the peaceful gathering
of women who are sitting on indefinite protest
against Citizenship Act (CAA). CAA deny entry of
Muslims from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.
The same set of people again did not rest when
they entered a girls college in Delhi where annual college
function was being celebrated. The goons
touched girl students` private parts and run away. As
per Principal of the college, police did not bother
about who was entering in the college despite gate
pass. The same set of people with the support of the
ruling dispensation did not rest. They organized
arson, looting during maiden visit of US President
Donald Trump. While Prime Minister Modi was discussing
and signing the deals with US President
Donald Trump, miscreants with the help of the police
were dancing on the streets of the capital with pistol
in hand; burning & looting shops . People lost their
life and property during arson and looting in Delhi but
the central as well as state government is found blaming
each other. It is awfully strange that the government
is so weak as not to identify and catch them. If
the ruling government is so weak how it will face formidable
enemy like China and Pakistan in the battlefield.
Experts assert that Delhi violence was organized
by the same set of people to show US President
Donald Trump that Muslims in India agitating against
Citizenship Amendment Act(CAA). During his maiden
visit to India, the US President Donald Trump
seems to be convinced that it is the Muslims who are
the trouble shooters in the globe. President very nicely
said that “ CAA is an internal issue of India” His
statement made in India will definitely strengthen the
hands of leaders of US Hindu organizations who are
working day and night to tell the Americans that it is
the Muslims who are agitating against CAA, the rest
of the religious communities appreciated this step
taken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Narendra
Modi should sit and think about internal issues of the
country.
The RSS leaders must sit with the leaders of the
BJP and discuss with all parties to resolve burning
issues. People of India gave Narendra Modi full five
years from 2014-2019 to promote image of India in
the international arena. Let us suppose he has done a
commendable work to convince the leaders of foreign
countries that his government is sincerely working for
religious freedom. Let us also suppose he has been
making strenuous efforts to bring peace and normalcy
to the valley of Kashmir despite a threat from
Pakistan. India has already slid to social, religious
anarchy. No citizen can afford to bear arson, vandalism
and killings anymore. India needs Indian Modi
not a foreigner Modi.
