Recommended Posts

New Delhi: Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde on Sunday alleged that the training camps run by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) were promoting Hindu terrorism. He also alleged that the RSS and the BJP were behind the Samjhauta Express, Meccca Masjid and Malegaon blasts. "Training camps of both the BJP and the RSS are promoting Hindu terrorism. Whether it is Samjhauta blast or Mecca Masjid blast or Malegaon blast, they plant bombs and blame it on the minorities," he said on the last day of Congress Chintan Shivir in Jaipur. Reacting quickly to the allegations made by the Home Minister, BJP spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain said: "Home Minister's statement is irresponsible and unfortunate. We condemn it." He was joined by BJP Vice President Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi who said, "It is sad that the Home Minister is trying to disturb the peace of the country. The Congress should apologise, Sonia Gandhi should also apologise, otherwise they will have to face the consequences." http://ibnlive.in.com/news/rss-behind-samjhauta-mecca-masjid-and-malegaon-blasts-alleges-shinde/316754-37.html http://www.deccanherald.com/content/306560/bjp-rss-promoting-hindu-terrorism.html http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/home-minister-shinde-says-bjp-rss-promoting-hindu-terrorism-then-clarifies-319884

Extremely stupid by Congress is this is a part of a strategy. Polarization of the majority would hurt them big time and benefit BJP in the elections. Only a polarized minority helps them

Looking at this video, it seems some uneducated people are influenced. This is the time when some strong BJP leader should visit such city and educate people with some balanced/controlled actions from judiciary as well. I dont think this is 16th or 17th century. There is a law and if there are issues they should be strongly dealt with. But home minister instead of doing some actions, and politicizing the issue. Oh wait, I forgot that he belonged to Congy.

I guess the government should take some action on this, ban RSS and BJP. There is no point just going on TV stating these Hindu terrorist camps exists, put a bounty on these Hindu terrorist leaders of BJP and RSS and since they have evidence prosecute and jail them all.

To an extent he is correct. I am 41 years old. In my parent's generation, the 'devout hindu' was a Ramkrishna/Vivekananda/Baba something fan, striving for self betterment. My generation and younger, a 'devout hindu/BJP/RSS' backer is a hindu version of an Islamic extremist. Echange some nouns and locations ( mecca with Nalanda, Tirupati, etc') and they are identical to Islamic extremists, with hindu extremism ideologies and hindu revisionist history. To me, there is not much difference between an Islamic nutter and a RSS nutter. They are the same people, behaving identically, with focus on different religions.

How so? Shinde has categorically blamed BJP and RSS of running terrorist training camps. Where is the evidence for this? This is not about ideologies but a specific, serious allegation that BJP, the principal opposition party, is training terrorists. If he has evidence then it is incumbent upon him to share it with the country and the Election Commission and get BJP derecognized and banned and its leaders arrested. After all he is the Home Minister of the country.

Self goal after self goal. These people would trade kashmir to pakis, if it guaranteed them another 5 years with the kursi. Disgusting lot and their supporters.

It's one thing blaming RSS. But blaming BJP like this that too by home minister is pathetic. He should produce evidence or owe up and resign. Hopefully BJP makes a big issue out this. Someone making sweeping stupid statements without showing any proof is not fit to be HM.

So, basically ministry does not hold itself to any higher standards than any of the internet warriors including those here. You don't need an iota of evidence corroborated by the courts. A blanket statement or rant would do just fine.

How is blaming RSS OK ? If Shinde is possession of any evidence against RSS, he needs to act on it first before shooting off his mouth at a party forum.

That is exactly what the Congress wants the BJP to do. It is better BJP focuses on the issues of corruption and a dysfunctional government instead of getting into the old (pseudo)secularism-communalism debate.
