US using India against China, says Sudarshan

NEW DELHI: The Rashtriya Swayam Sangh has blasted the United States for its double standards on terrorism, and pleaded that India must not allow itself to be used for US's selfish gains.
In an interview published in the Sangh Parivar's mouthpiece Panchjanya, the RSS Supremo, K S Sudarshan, while reacting to the Mumbai serial blast, has said that even though the USA knows of Pakistan's involvement in perpetuating terrorism, it refuses to declare Pakistan a terrorist state. Why? Because it is "using Pakistan against India so that India could be used in its strategic battle against China."
Elaborating, the Parivar head said that the US is worried that missiles capable of striking targets 12000 KMs away are in China's possession. And for the US, the best way to counter that would be to "control the entire geo-political space around India", and to achieve that, it is important that it props up India against its communist neighbour. "We must understand this game and not become a tool to be used against China".
As expected, Sudarshan has harsh words for the Congress and Communists, who he accuses of working towards dividing the Hindus. He thinks terrorism has grown, thanks to the policy of appeasement of Muslims by this government, and that some of the central ministers are actually working towards driving a wedge between the Hindus and the Muslims. On a reconciliatory note, however, he says there are plenty among the Muslims who are true patriots and would not fall into this trap and claimed that RSS is getting excellent support from these people and is actually engaged in a meaningful dialogue with them.
Extending the reconciliatory note further, he said that given the increasing intensity and frequency of terrorist strikes in India, it is important for the entire nation to act as one. Since all attempts by India to forge friendship with Pakistan are rebuffed, it is "time for us to forget the differences of heart and opinion, come together, and give a stinging response to Pakistan."
The Sangh Parivar's mouthpiece also comes down heavily in its editorial on the appeasement policy pursued by political parties. The editorial holds the so-called secular leaders responsible for the Mumbai blasts.
It says when patriotism becomes a matter of shame and the majority community is insulted to gain political mileage, then the influence of terrorist organisations is bound to increase.
After the blasts when India's national security advisor Narayanan hinted at the hand of Pakistan-backed militant outfits before the Cabinet, two ministers opposed it. They in turn blamed Hindus for the blasts. Their postulation was not supported by any sound reasoning.
Mulayam Singh also made a statement giving clean chit to SIMI. The SP leader's statement came keeping in mind the elections in Uttar Pradesh. The Hindu community being a divided lot, he wants to capture the Muslim votes. Prior to this, Lalu Prasad Yadav had ordered a new enquiry into the Godhra carnage. This was also done keeping in mind the assembly elections in Bihar.
Drawing a parallel between the sympathisers and the militant outfits, it says the secular leaders are doing more harm to the country.

Just wanted to say I think you are doing an excellent job running this blog on this important subject that so few people talk about.
We still have a long way to go before we can wake up enough people to the injustice and hypocrisy that has been going in India in the name of "secularism".
But I am confident that we will get there.
Wish you all the best in this great and ambitious initiative.
Harsh
