Pseudo-Secularism

Hindu dharma is implicitly at odds with monotheistic intolerance. What is happening in India is a new historical awakening... Indian intellectuals, who want to be secure in their liberal beliefs, may not understand what is going on. But every other Indian knows precisely what is happening: deep down he knows that a larger response is emerging even if at times this response appears in his eyes to be threatening.

'Secular parties started violence in Mau'

[ Thursday, October 27, 2005 04:53:36 pmPTI ]

VARANASI: Accusing some political parties of instigated violence during the recent communal violence in Mau district of Uttar Pradesh, Vishwa Hindu Parishad on Thursday said that the majority community may be compelled to take law into their hands to defend themselves.

"Neither the state government nor the Centre took appropriate and punitive actions to rein in the members of the Muslim community who attacked the lives and properties of the Hindus for several days in the district," VHP international president Ashok Singhal said.

He alleged that the 'so-called secular parties' had instigated the members of the other community for narrow political gains.

Singhal accused Mulayam Singh Yadav's government of playing a 'partisan role', and urged the state Governor T V Rajeswar Rao, who had visited the strife-torn district on October 22 last, to use his discretionary powers to recommend dismissal of the state government and imposition of the President's rule in the state.
