Selective Outrage
If there is one thing that is abused the maximum in India it
has to be the word ‘secularism’. I have said this many times in the past and I
am not going to repeat why I feel so. But that is hardly a problem for me.
After all the naked display of secularism or the pseudo version of it for
decades reduced the most communal party of India, the INC, to rubbles. Good
that they haven’t learned an ounce post 2014 debacle which in a way is a
positive sign for all those who are interested to see a “Congress Muqt Bharat”.
Trust me; the party with a retard at the helm is competing with time to make it
irrelevant at the earliest. Nothing can be better news for India than this at
the present context.
Congress and all its rabid offshoots who sell communalism in
the name of secularism are always in the lookout for an opportunity to divide
the nation further. A united and literate India is a death nail for these
merchants of hate and divisiveness. That is perhaps why, these selfsame faggots
always shout divide on the slightest of opportunity. It serves two purposes. First
– they get the joy of dividing India further and Second – they get this sense
of satisfaction of still being relevant though their filthy idea of India was
savagely dealt with by the voters in 2014. To help them further we have our
ever so eager media which leaves no stones unturned to defame the nation for
personal gain. By design, the flag bearers of secularism and our media try to
look the other way for everything that isn’t a launch vehicle of their agendas.
That is perhaps why they never talk about Sikh massacre, Kashmiri Pundit exodus
or the poor 57 people including infants who were charred alive in Savarmati
Express. But come to 2002 Gujarat riots or anything that can show Hindus in bad
light, these morons jump out in open at once and start crying wolf. This has
become a trend in India for some time. For decades, a highly communal party is
supported by our sold out media so that they can continue selling more fear.
And how it is achieved? By misusing a single English word – secularism.
The recent Dadri lynching is a classic case where it is
showcased ever so brilliantly on how everything related to religious divide can
be attributed to Narendra Modi, BJP and Hindus as if national harmony is the sole responsibility of the Hindus. I had said this earlier – no
person should die for what he eats or drinks. When an irate mob attacked
Akhlakh Ahemad and killed him for slaughtering a cow, no words can defend that horrific incident. If at all there is a crime on the part of Akhlakh, our laws
should have dealt with that. At no point it gives liberty to public at large to
decide on the quantum of punishment, so much so that they end up lynching a
man. That is bad, gruesome, uncivilized and horrible. But is it the first time
that such crimes happened for slaughtering a cow? I can at least cite six
instances during recent 10 year Congress rule where similar crimes happened. Did
anyone hear our media going berserk for weeks together and doing every bit to
defame the ruling dispensation? Did anyone find every politician worth of his
salt doing overtime to castigate the PM? I haven’t at least. It compels me now
to ask – what is so special with Dadri lynching that all seem to be losing
their sleep? And more precisely, how this incident can be used as a broad brush
to paint the entire nation with religious bigotry and term the society turning intolerant?
It is not only the communal Congress or the pimp media that
is trying to cash in the murky situation. Even the so called self-proclaimed
intellectuals are jumping into the bandwagon of Modi bashing. The entire
Congress ecosystem looks like doing overtime to blame Modi for every bit of
mishappening in India. The ecosystem of frauds has gone so deep that, we now
have the intellectuals who are falling over each other to return one or other
of their government awards. Seriously, where on earth you would find so many
idiots lining up to defame their own democratically elected government? This
silly trend of award returning was started by a certain Naintara Shegal. You
don’t know who this NS is? Don’t bother too much, she isn’t worth knowing. This
niece of Nehru suddenly got that urge to return her Sahitya Academy award in
protest against the rising religious intolerance in the nation. According to
her, the India that she and many fraud intellectuals like her has long
preserved is getting decimated post the win of Narendra Modi. How convenient
and routine of these scoundrels to associate everything with NaMo. She is the
same fraud who never had problems while receiving the award two years after the
Sikh massacre and four years after the genocide of Kashmiri Pundits. In 1986,
it was a smiling NS who received the award. She never had her conscience kick
her at all the wrong places back then. Now suddenly, this ugly child from the
Congress ecosystem found everything going haywire. The intellectual in NS never
bothered to go through the stats and compare the communal violence happened
during the Congress regime with that of NDA’s. She just wanted to shout wolf so
that her agenda to protect the filthy scotch circuit that routinely feasts on
dead to continue. The same NS was OK when a clueless Rajiv Gandhi made a mess
in Sahabanoo case that eventually took the fundamental rights from all the
Muslim women forever in India while today the same NS can’t sleep at night.
But I know why she can’t sleep. It is not because her heart
cries for the oppressed; that is hardly her concerns. It is because she finds
her non-deserving entitlements vanishing rapidly from all the illegitimate fountains
that Congress had installed. These are the clowns who were routinely
domesticated by Congress party for their political gain. Crorers of tax payer
money was regularly wasted to sprinkle these leeches with free doles. The
Lutynes Delhi circuit that used to absolve these free dwellers with illicit
arrack and fraudulent money to bark for them has stopped. People like NS are
finding themselves irrelevant and useless now; not that they were ever useful though. No more invitations to
government organized litfets or five star stays on tax payer’s money. None is
providing them business class tickets to fly to New York and shop Tampons like
Teesta Setelvad used to do during her hay days. No one now cares to donate
lakhs to their NGOs in the name of public service so that the hawks like NS can
live a life of luxury doing nothing. For years together non-deserving and
mediocre people like NS are hailed with all possible government awards and emoluments.
This free wastage of public money was designed with a purpose. The purpose was
to accumulate as many frauds to the Congress ecosystem. After all, Congress
would always require these morons to bark whenever needed. This is the same
reason why wastes like Teesta, Barkha, Rajdeep were conferred with Padma
awards. The national awards which should have been protected of its values were
freely distributed to Congress doormats like it is no one’s business. Among the
trio mentioned above, Teesta is a proven fraud with arrest warrants floating
against her while Barkha was seen actively doing pimping for the Congress
government with help from certified pimps like Radia. Least we talk about the
street thug Rajdeep Sardesai is better.
For ages, Congress used these national awards and
recognitions to buy these free loaders from market. Just take a note of these
Sahitya awardees and see the time when they were conferred with the award. All
would point you to the rotten Congress ecosystem. When I say, all are non-deserving;
I say it with some conviction. If their writings or poems are any kind of
pointer then all of them appear below mediocre. The same Sachidananda Mishra
who received Rs 5 lakhs from UP government as early as August 2015 is now ready to return his Sahitya
award. And nobody need us remind, where Dadri is situated. Then why not return that 5 Lakh as well? It shouldn't be too tough for a conscience seeker like Mr. Mishra. But then, our fraud
intellectuals are hypocrites. For 2002 Modi must be castigated as law and order
is a state subject but for Dadri Akhislesh government can’t be held
responsible. Kalburgi was murdered in Karnataka but the Congress government in
the state is never questioned. These intellectuals seem to have two different
yardsticks and they use it as per their convenience. If this is not a well
preserved and stinking ecosystem then I am not sure what it is.
Post Script:
Thought, I should share it with you so that you can understand the Congress ecosystem better. Look how all the anti Hindu factions are connected with each other, forming a loving and big Mafia family
