Every Hindu would agree that we are a civilized country. We will go further and say that ours is an ancient civilization and use that in every argument which highlights our weaknesses. Of all the weaknesses and flaws in a society, mob justice and public lynching have to be on the top. If this continues then we are no better than Saudi Arabia or most other Muslim countries with Sharia Laws.
Here we finally have a PM who is undoing all the wrongs done to our nation since 1947. He is out there generating investments and trying to project our soft power and then we get to hear this – mob lynching – a hall mark or savagery. This is the ultimate crab mentality. We have these fringe Hindu groups who somehow feel empowered because now they have a Hindu nationalist in the PM’s chair. They feel that he thinks like them and will agree and condone their murderous agenda. It is clear that they do not know anything about Narendra Modi. In fact they may have made their impression about the PM based upon the views of leftists, liberals and main stream media – the very group they claim the hate.
After the post Godhra-Massacre riots, it is clear that Narendra Modi realized that he could not achieve his dream of a prosperous Gujarat without absolute peace. During his tenure, RSS and the VHP were sidelined and kept in check. Of the two, RSS is a force for good (except for the occasional ramblings of the older leaders who are out of touch with today’s world) but still it as important that law of the land prevailed over individuals and organizations. Within two years of the riots, the BJP won local elections even from the Muslims dominated areas. He is an India first kind of patriot.
Leftists are demanding that the Pm should come out and make a statement on this tragedy. As heinous the murder was, it still is just that – a heinous murder and there are laws to deal with this. The Home and Law ministries should work in tandem to ensure swift justice to restore the faith of all people in the system. A tough punishment should be given to the murderers to send a message to all those who think that they can hide in a mob and get their nefarious agenda though. The PM is responsible for the entire nation. We have local and state government for dealing with crime – heinous or otherwise.
The senseless murder of Mohammad Ikhlaq, father of an IAF personnel is a travesty of the highest order and should be treated as such by every Indian. As a supporter of the BJP, I think it is of utmost importance that people like Sakshi Maharaj be shut up or shunted out. MLAs like Sangeet Som cause great damage to the party with their irresponsible statements and thus are a net loss for the party. Throw the guy out of the party. Thugs like Sadhvi Prachi who are not connected to the party but behave as though they are should be exposed for what they actually are. The mainstream media and the leftist cabal is always trying to tie the party up with such yahoos in hopes for tainting a great leader like our PM. This has to stop as it completely derails the progress train.
Please see the youtube video posted in the article below. If we Hindus decide to brush this off as the work of some misguided extremists then we need to remember one thing – Muslims all over the world use the same excuse. Let us not become another Pakistan. If beef eating is a crime then let the courts deal with it. Mob justice and lynching is going to pull us down to the level of Muslim countries and that we, the Hindus, would like even less.
Please read an excellent article published in Niticentral which says the following:
Why the Right, Left and Media have it wrong
The Right is wrong for moving the debate on “Cow Protection” from the personal domain based on personal morality and religious observances to the domain of the State, something which didn’t happen even during Kautilya’s time.
The Left is wrong in questioning the legitimate Right of the State to legislate on matters that happen in public spaces, a Right which is not unique to India and a Right that is routinely exercised in liberal democracies of the West.
The media is wrong for having distorted the public debate by raising the bogey of personal freedoms when in fact there were no consumption bans. Rather than inform and clarify the media has vitiated the debate by playing up extremes on both sides by repeating crude generalisations and peddling vulgar oversimplifications.
