There is no doubt
that #Rising intolerance bandwagon
is growing in number and so is the heard of writers and filmmakers who are
returning their awards in protest of this intolerance, which according to them
has suddenly gripped entire India under its venomous tentacles. And hello hello
hello who are responsible for it. No awards for guessing, because otherwise you
might one fine morning decide to return this award. It’s BJP and our PM,
Mr.Narendra Modi. Aren’t these people being obtuse with no rationale behind
their act? India’s history is marred with instances of religious intolerance
and hatred. Then why is this drama happening and why are these people painting
our country in the colour of Intolerance? The answer is simple and
straightforward and that is these congress fans and followers are not able to
gulp or digest the fact that our country is being governed by BJP and Narendra
Modi, who incidentally has been well accepted throughout the Globe. A man who
was once facing the trial for Gujarat riots has swept the entire country off
its feet and has become a new hope for the Indians at home as well as abroad.
The kind of response he got in US was seen never before. This troubles the
congress party and the band of these so called laureates and filmmakers. I am
not hurt when they colour BJP and other right wing Hindu parties as intolerant.
I would not even care for that. But what
hurts me and the rest of the people like me are that these people are bringing
bad name to all the Indians and we are being portrayed as a bunch of murderers
and lynch men. Mr and Ms Return awards,
let me just give you a point wise reality check and ask you a simple question
and that is why you did not return you awards when following happened:-
1.
To begin with let me give you an example of 1984
Sikh riots in which innumerable Sikhs were killed and slaughtered on the
streets of Delhi. Let me just remind you that the riots were backed by your own
congress men. Let me just not name them. I know it’s embarrassing for you.
2.
Now let me make you think a little more. Where
were you, when 3 lac Kashmiri Pundits were ousted from their motherland. Wasn’t
it religious intolerance? I know we are not a vote bank for any party.
Nevertheless you could have spoken a word or two about us. You choose not to. I
know you speak only as per your own convenience. If you have any other pending
award with you, I request you to please come forward and return it to the
government. At least you can make amendments to your mistake. Isn’t it? Mr.
Ajay Raina and Sanjay Kak, our own kashmiri brethren, have also joined this
bandwagon and have returned their awards. By the way, does anyone know who are
they? I seriously don’t know. Sometimes as they say ignorance is bliss. But yea
they have managed to catch some eye balls by doing this. At least a worthless
mine.
3.
Ok now comes the toughest. Where were you at the
time of Babri demolition on 6th December 1992? Now most of you might
argue that you guys had not received any award at that time. I know this fact.
But fact remains that returning of the awards is not the only way to raise your
voice. God has given you such a high intellect. Isn’t it? And on top of that he
has given you some vocal cords. You could have certainly made use of them. Hey
where are you hiding madam and Sir?
4.
The story doesn’t end here. Why didn’t you protest
against the Wandahama massacare in which 23 kashmiri pundits were dragged out
of their houses and brutally killed by militants on 25th Jan, 1998.
I know you guys were not instructed by your masters to do so at that time.
Whether it is Kashmir muslim or Kashmiri pundits, both have been useless
entities for you, till the time Nayantara Sehgal ji redeemed herself by
condemning the killing of Kashmiri Muslim youth in Udhampur.
5.
Where were you when on March 20th March
of year 2000, Lashkar men killed 34 Sikh youths in Chattisinghpora (Kashmir)
after asking them to assemble in a Gurdwara. We all know the aftermath of this
massacre. Innocent lives were lost in the fake encounter of Pathribal. I hope I
am giving you a reason to think and ponder over. Don’t become a victim of herd
mentality. You are bringing disrepute to this nation and we won’t tolerate it.
6. Shall
I give you more, Mr and Ms Return awards?
I know it’s hurting you. But let me just give you one more below the belt.
Where were you when Dara Singh, murdered an Australian missionary and his
family while they were sleeping in a station wagon at Manoharpur in Keonjhar
district of Orissa. Were you sleeping or your conscience was dead at that time.
7.
Why did you choose to ignore the incidence in
Chamba in August of 1998, when Pakistani militants killed 35 Hindus in cold
blood? Stop being pseudo secular. We won’t tolerate your vitriol now.
8.
What about 2002 attacks on Raghunath temple (11
persons killed) and Akshardham temple (33 people killed), 2006 serial bombings
in Varanasi (28 casualties) etc. I can give you more. Our history is full of
such statistics.
9.
For your benefit let me tell you that between
2005 to 2009, an average fo 130 people have died every year because of communal
riots in India. And during the same period, 24 states and union territories
reported instances of religious Skirmishes and clashes. Everyone knows who were
at the helm of affairs at centre during this period.
When nobody labelled India an Intolerant country at that
time, then why now? You don’t have to be a genius to understand that. There is
no doubt that some of these people in collusion with their political masters have
a sinister plan of pushing this country into a panic state and then
subsequently emerge as the Champions of the cause of the people. All these people have no moral stand with each one of them taking a fake stand. However to an extent they have been able to stir up a controversy with their politically motivated actions and as Junaid Mustafa says, “Only counterfeit is genuine these days”, these people might get their share of glory.
