Guess who
the media houses like NDTV, CNN-IBN, TimesNow, Headlines Today and others run
to first for a few soundbites and crumbs from the Congress? Yes, Digvijaya Singh of course. DS’
propensity to make mindless, foul-mouthed comments, often generously sprinkled
with untruths, endears him to our slave media. Naturally, they all conspired to
cover up a hateful and dangerous call DS made to his party-men in Bangalore on July 2: “The Sangh parivar and BJP are conspiring to incite communal
violence in Congress-ruled states including Karnataka. The government will have
to keep strict vigil on Hindutva organisations… BJP has realised that they
won’t win unless they play communal card and they want to secure victory by
inciting communal passions” he said. Alright, for the moment let’s keep
Diggy on simmer. We’ll boil him later.
If anyone
still has the notion that the Gujarat 2002 riots changed or polarised the
people in the state then let me dispel that notion. Here’s a story that every Indian should read and understand why
Gujaratis have booted out Congress and aren’t friendly with the party. These
are edited excerpts from Wiki:
The
Dabgarwad Massacre was a legal case involving the burning down of a single
mother Maniben’s home in Ahmedabad, India, on June 9, 1985. The incident resulted
in the deaths of 8 Hindus, and has come to symbolize the carnage, security
mismanagement, and sloppy investigation during the 1985 Ahmedabad violence. On
February 1985, a mass movement against Gujarat Government's new policy of caste
based reservation was launched in Ahmedabad. Congress(I) government came down
on movement participants with an iron fist… Most of the movement participants
were Hindu students. It is alleged that Congress(I) leadership used Muslim
mafia don Abdul Latif's gang against the movement's participants. As a result,
Ahmedabad was rocked with communal riots, between Hindus and Muslims, for
several months.
Note
carefully, even then it was Congress (I) but since 2004 the party and our
corrupt media conveniently changed it to INC. The current Congress has
absolutely no relation or connection to the original INC. The anti-reservation
stir was deliberately turned into a communal riot using anti-social elements.
The king-pin in the events was one Abdul
Latif, a local goon of the D-Company. The Congress CM then was Madhavsinh Solanki. The story during
the period of the anti-reservation agitation before it became communal continues
on Wiki:
There
was a mass exodus of Hindus from their houses in the riot hit locality of
Dabgarwad, Dariapur. When peace was partially restored, few residents returned;
However, Maniben continued to live in her house, with her two daughters and
four grand-children, because she had no other place to go or she was confident
that she shall not be harmed. On 9 June 1985 at 1:30 PM, Military which was
stationed at Dabgarwad was withdrawn. As a result, a large Muslim mob attacked
Maniben's house, which is located about 250 feet from police outpost, setting
fire to it, and chaining it from outside resulting in death of Maniben, her two
daughters, four grand-children and son of a neighbor. Next house set ablaze was
of Navin Chandra, Kantilal, Kalidas and others. Mob, including women, attempted
to prevent fire brigade from extinguishing the fire. All accused, including main
appellant Dilaver Hussain Mohammad Laliwala, were acquitted on 5 October 1990
due to lack of evidence. Supreme Court of India criticized police investigators
for late recording of evidence, failure to produce the Chief Fire Officer as
witness and delay in preparation of panchnama of Maniben’s home.
I can vouch
for these incidents as being accurately described. In post-independence India
the biggest record of engineering communal riots is held by none other than the
Congress. So Digvijaya’s nonsense is beset with absence of historical truth. Thus 1985 was the year in which Hindus in
Gujarat decided enough is enough and booted out the Congress forever in the
next election.
After that
communal riot Madhavsinh Solanki was sacked and replaced only to be later reinstated
as CM. But in the next election in 1990 the Congress was removed from power.
Since then it has had a CM only for just over a year owing to political
horse-trading. Since March 1995 there
has been no Congress govt in Gujarat. The BJP has won all elections but the
greed for power made Shankersinh Vaghela
defect and form his Rashtriya Janata Party (RJP). Vaghela grabbed power with
the support of Congress but couldn’t last more than a year as CM. And since
1997 it has been BJP and the Congress has been wiped out of Gujarat. That’s the
story. The 2002 riots didn’t propel BJP to power nor did it polarise people as
the media propaganda would have you believe.
In the
decade since 2002 the governance and performance agenda has overshadowed
communal divisions. Since independence and right up to 1985 it is the communal politics
of the Congress govts in Gujarat that has polarised the state. I dare say, while
Gujarat has been saved from the communal Congress, other states that are still
being exploited with their “Hindus are
communal” crap will someday learn.
Encounters
are the flavour of the season, so let’s also find out what happened to that
mafia goon Abdul Latif. He was Dawood’s “made-guy”
in Ahmedabad. He had even won local elections from 5 wards in the Muslim
dominated areas of Ahmedabad. He was later arrested and housed at the Sabarmati
jail for his crimes pending trial. In
1997 Shankarsinh Vaghela was the CM. Here’s what happened to Latif as every
Gujju who was witness to events knows (from Rediff):
Notorious
gangster Abdul Latif was shot dead by the police early on Saturday morning in
Ahmedabad, while trying to escape. Latif, a Dawood Ibrahim associate, was
arrested in Delhi in 1995. He had been lodged in the Sabarmati Central jail since
then. The incident occurred at 0215, near the Naroda crossing. Latif had been
taken for an investigation and was being brought back to the jail. He asked
permission to answer nature's call and tried to escape by firing at the police.
The police retaliated, shooting him dead. He was cremated under strict security
in the evening at the Shahibaug graveyard.
Interesting,
eh? Latif was in prison, was being escorted in darkness of early hours under
police custody. He wants to take a “bathroom
break” around the bushes near the road. And Holy Moses, guy pulls out a
pistol? Huh? Where did this pistol suddenly come from? So he tried to attack the
police and was shot dead. Do you believe
that? Now Vaghela is a Congress member since those days. If this was not a
fake encounter what was it? So the Congis who are now crooning like Madonna
over Ishrat Jahan should remember who started the culture of fake encounters.
Just as they and parties holding similar “sickular” persuasions are the ones
who engineer communal riots. Even if you look at the chronology of recent history of communal riots, the worst
ones have occurred under Congress govts. More
minorities (as also Hindus) have died in communal riots under Congress govts.
So Digvijaya
is doing nothing but raking up the old Secular
V Communal fear-mongering for elections. He is now also joined by Nitish Kumar. As this sound grows the
media too will join the hunt sooner than later. Let me sound an alternate
warning: If at all communal riots happen between now and the general elections
it will likely be engineered by Congress and not by BJP. Congress is the one
who came up with divisive plans for India including Madhavsinh’s infamous KHAM (Kshatriya, Harijan, Adivasi and
Muslim) calculation for vote-banks. Since the KHAM invention many regional parties
have borrowed the theory to form their own vote-banks like BSP, SP etc. The Congress would be foolish if they
allowed Diggy to continue his mindless rant. People are sick and tired of
their deceptions and of “fake secularism” which fools Muslims and all other
minorities. The Congress principle of tagging anyone speaking for Hindu
interests as “Communal” is the most sinister and divisive campaign ever created
in this country. And these guys go around calling others Hitler, Fascist,
Communal, Polarising and all the dubious terms they can come up with. This
time, it may not pass and that is the fear that haunts Diggy to his bones as it
does the Congress party.
To deviate a
bit from the issue the Congress also supports a vast network of organisations
and NGOs which are busy creating a deep social divide in India. Researcher and
writer Rajiv Malhotra calls it “Breaking India”. In his book, Malhotra describes and explains how major foreign
funds are being poured into India to alter the religious structure of India
through dubious means, conversions and other inducements. He also explains how
many so called “intellectuals” are ‘useful
idiots’ in this scheme. You can see most of these idiots frequently on TV
panels and some are anchors too. I don’t have to elaborate to which party these
dishonest intellectuals owe their allegiance to. The map on the cover of
Malhotra’s book is influenced by the sinister designs of the players behind the
scenes. This is no figment of imagination but is actually happening on the
ground in India.
I may not
know much about Diggy but I do know one thing for sure. In his 10-years as CM
of Madhya Pradesh the guy couldn’t build a single decent road between the two
main cities of Indore and Bhopal. The distance was a mere 170kms. MP remained a BIMARU state under him. Having
been thrown out of MP he has spent the last decade mouthing rubbish frequently
which the media delightfully reproduces like a box of parrots. His statement
warning of a communal riot is one of desperation and with the knowledge that
Congress may get a severe thrashing at the next general elections. The final
response of a historically divisive Congress has been “fear-mongering”. Diggy has just made a desperate and
dangerous call. It’s not the BJP or others but the Congress party that
people must watch out for.
