Do you think that whatever the Indian government and its ministers do are according to the secular principle?
If your answer is ‘YES’, then you need not read this article!
You might be well aware of the case of S.S.Sandhu, Superintendent of Police, Taran Taaran, who himself protected the people of Panjab from the brutal hands of terrorists in the 80s decade. He and his fellowmen had conducted many military operations against Sikh terrorists throughout Panjab and had strived hard to restore normalcy in the Panjab state. Later the National Human Right Commission of India filed many cases against him for he had, allegedly, violated the ‘human rights’ of terrorists! At that time no secularists, no human rights activists were present to advocate on behalf of Sandhu. Later Sandhu surrendered to death as he was unable to prove that he had not violated the ‘human rights’ of terrorists!
It is strange but true that many a times Indian ‘secularists’ and ‘human right’ activists advocate on behalf of anti-India elements!
Clemency to Afzal Guru, chief convicted in the Parliament attack case, is an additional incident.
As soon as the Supreme Court announced capital punishment to Afzal, many ‘secularists’ came out in protests against the Supreme Court verdict. Remember, these ‘secularists’ had never raised their voice for the victims of December 13 Parliament attack case, neither do they fight for the victims of Bombay blasts.
In the year 1998 when the Vajpayee government conducted nuclear tests in Pokhran, Arudhati Roy who is spearheading the ‘Clemency to Afzal’ campaign, had questioned the very need to test the nuclear weapons. “Why there was a need to spend crores of rupees on nuclear weapons when crores of Indians are starving in the streets?” was her question. Good, we must appreciate her concern towards poor people of India. Now we need to question Arundhati Roy;
“Sister Arundhati why did you advocate on behalf of notorious terrorist Afzal Guru when lakhs of innocent Kashmiri Hindus are being hunted by Pakistan sponsored terrorists?”
Very strange are the words ‘secularists’ in Afzal’s case. They say that ‘murder for murder’ is not humane. If this principle applies to all, then why did not our ‘secularists’ cried on behalf of Dhananjay Chatarjee? (Dhananjay was a Bengali and he had raped a girl and later had killed her). Why not our human right activists did shouted slogans like ‘murder for murder is not humane’ even in Dhananjay Chatarjee’s case?
Here the purpose of the article is not to say that Chatarjee was innocent. But purpose is that we must understand the dual character of Indian ‘secularists’.
The crime committed by Dhananjay Chatarjee was just a rape and murder – yes, just a rape and murder! Not an attack on the Parliament! But the crime committed by Afzal is very serious. If Afzal was successful in his attempt then he would have demolished the very heart of Indian democracy, he would have destroyed the very temple of secularism – the Parliament, he would have killed hundreds of political leaders and made India a ‘Banana Republic’! Whereas Chatarji had killed just a girl and, even though killing a girl or a boy is a heinous crime, it never jeopardizes the territorial integrity of the nation, it never makes India a ‘Banana Republic’.
Yes, it must be well understood that a rapist has no respect for women and for their feelings and whoever rapes a woman/girl must be hanged till death. No doubt in that.
But ask yourself a question; which is more important? – Sovereignty of the nation? Or life of a girl? Obviously the nation and its sovereignty are more important than a girl.
So our human rights activists and ‘secularists’ must have fought for clemency even to Dhananjay. If our ‘secularists’ really work for the sake of this country and for humanity they should have told ‘murder for murder is not humane’ even in the case of Dhananjay Chatarjee. But they did not.
Why? Was it because he was a poor man? Or was it because he was a Hindu?! – Yes, Hindu! It is well known that our secularists raise their voice only when minorities are tortured and they maintain a dumb-silence when the same happens to majority Hindus.
Arundhati Roy felt ashamed of her Indian identity when India conducted nuclear tests. But now we Indians feel ashamed to say that our ‘secularists’ fight for anti-India terrorists who are striving hard to destroy the secular fabric of this country. We feel ashamed to say that our ‘secularists’ maintain a dumb-silence over the issue of genocide in Kashmir!
Not only Arundhati but many of our political leaders have, till now, maintained a pin-drop silence over the issue of clemency to Afzal. The Congress party has not yet opened its mouth on this issue. The Communist comrades have come out openly supporting Afzal family’s plea for Presidential clemency.
It is a shame for India that a terrorist whose involvement in the Parliament attack case has been proved beyond-any-doubt is getting an unprecedented support from the ‘secular’ brigade.
It is a humble request for ‘secularists’ to work neither for Muslims, nor for Christians, nor for Hindus! Work for Indians! Stop your cry over clemency to Afzal Guru.
If ever the Man Mohan Singh government not take appropriate action against Afzal and gives him the clemency then it would become a healing touch for anti-India groups.
Get up, hang him!
