चार दिन पहले दिया था 'अल्टीमेटम'

नमाज से पहले ही बन गई थी रणनीति

बवाल करने वालों के हाथों में टेढ़ी सरिया व बांका था। वे डंडे भी लहरा रहे थे। उन्होंने सरिया मारकर कई लोगों को मामूली रूप से जख्मी भी किया, लेकिन वे वहां से चुपचाप चले गए। इससे साफ है कि अलविदा की नमाज से पहले ही बवाल करने की रणनीति बना ली गई थी।

महिलाओं व बच्चों को भी नहीं बख्शा

हंगामा कर रहे उपद्रवियों ने राहगीरों में शामिल महिलाओं व बच्चों को भी नहीं बख्शा। जो भी मिला, वही पीटा गया। बसों में सवार यात्रियों से उपद्रवियों ने अभद्रता की और उनका सामान भी लूट लिया। पार्क की गार्ड सीमा को तो बेरहमी से पीटा और महिला पर्यटक को भी नहीं बख्शा।

the nationwide reprisals against NE'ers, clear demonstration of organizational capability across different regions of the country, and the perception that they can get away without any organized resistance from the "others" is surely the path which will pave the way for a much greater willingness among the Islamists to coordinate and form networks of information sharing, and joint-action.

this round cannot go unanswered. either the Hindu "others" or the Rashtra itself needs to directly get involved and show that it has the ability to carry out violent reprisals for such actions. if there is no such counter against the current organized violence, it is practically guaranteed that their networking capabilities will increase by several orders of magnitude, and they will certainly move with precise ruthlessness in the direction of long term coordinated action. which means the entrenched and heavily-foreign-funded-and-supported Islamic organizations on the West Coast (Maharashtra to Kerala), Elements all along the Pak border, Kashmir Valley Islamists, GV based Islamic architecture, and pan-SE-Asian Islamist networks, Bangla Islamists, all will increasingly coordinate their pressure tactics.

the picture is not good. we are only seeing a small demonstration. it is as much a signal to us as it is a signal to the faithfools to reassure themselves of their "group strength" and buttress the perception of Hindu "weakness". if it goes unanswered, we will have dark days ahead.

If there is a mass movement toward ridding dharmics from muslim majority enclaves, how exactly is partition unlikely? I used to believe that muslims and hindus could get along but it's impossible. Once they become a majority in a particular area they just suffocate anything unislamic.

Sonia's New Riot Act
Bill drafted by NAC a way to woo minorities: Opposition tells Cong


The Sonia Gandhi-led National Advisory Council (NAC) draft of a Prevention of Communal & Targeted Violence (Access to Justice and Reparations) Bill, 2011 has run into controversy even as it leaves the drawing board. It defines victims of communalism as a group belonging to "a religious or linguistic minority, in any state... or Scheduled Castes and Tribes."

An angry Arun Jaitley, BJP leader of opposition in the Rajya Sabha, leads the attack. "This draft bill proceeds on the presumption that communal trouble is created only by members of the majority community and never by a member of the minority community," he wrote in a column. The Congress is walking a thin line. The attempt to woo the minority vote bank could very well end up alienating the majority community.

Post-Godhra Riots

NAC member Harsh Mander counters the BJP criticism: "This is a complete misunderstanding. The word minority is in relation to numbers in a state: this is a shifting and fluid category across the country. Biharis are a regional or linguistic minority in Maharashtra and Assam; while Hindus are a religious minority in seven states including Punjab, North-east and Jammu & Kashmir. Scheduled Castes are almost all Hindus and many Scheduled Tribes are Hindus." He adds, "The normal working of the law of the land is sufficient to protect the majority community from mass targeted violence and to ensure justice when it occurs because institutions of the state are on the side of the majority. The Domestic Violence Bill does not mean that husbands don't get beaten up, but the bill does not protect husbands as the normal law of the land would protect them." He gets endorsement from Congress spokesperson Manish Tewari: "Jaitley is giving the bill a communal twist and deliberately trying to spread misinformation. I am a Hindu from Punjab which makes me a minority and a protected species under this bill." Does this mean Hindus can never instigate a communal riot in Punjab and only Sikhs will be blamed? Says Tewari, "If, God forbid, there is a riot instigated by a minority community in any state, then they will be dealt with in accordance with ordinary law. If instigated by the majority in any state, then this bill would apply in addition to IPC."

The Congress has little choice but to toe the NAC line even though the bill has been drafted by a group of activists and civil society members. This is in sharp contrast to the cold shoulder meted out to Anna Hazare and company on the Lokpal draft. Says Salman Khurshid, Union minister for minority affairs, "An attempt to emphasise protection for a minority (and inclusion of linguistic minority means a vulnerable majority as well) is consistent with affirmative action under the Constitution. These are not departures from equality but the very effective implementation of equality."

The NAC had finalised an earlier draft of this bill on May 25. This was put up on its website for feedback. Since then, as many as 49 amendments have been made. But the definition of the vicitimised group has not been changed. Anticipating a backlash, the NAC has prepared a clarification: "The bill does not classify or assume any particular group to be the perpetrator of communal & targeted violence." BJP spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman questions the "essential spirit with which the bill was drafted. It is in tandem with the Congress ideology of vote bank politics." With elections in Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat slated for next year, this is a charge that the Congress cannot duck.

One of the amendments made by the NAC in its second draft was to delete a clause that labelled incidents of communal violence as "internal disturbance" since this would fall under the ambit of Article 355 of the Constitution, giving the Centre the right to interfere. "This clause has been deleted because it mistakenly created a fear that it may interfere with the federal structure," said an NAC press release. Tewari defends this saying, "If you look at the Gujarat experience where for three months, with the active connivance of the state, people were raped, mobbed and lynched, there is a case for giving the Centre the right to intervene under Section 355. At least then you won't have the spectacle of a chief minister on a killing spree with a PM sleeping at the Centre."

The NAC's explanatory note says that "the bill is only concerned with ensuring that when the group under attack is non- dominant in that state, then the officers of the state machinery must not be allowed to let bias breach their impartiality". Explains Mander, "This bill does not create new offences except of public dereliction of duty. And this is the heart of the bill. Whether it was the violence in 1984, or later in Gujarat (in 2002), all these happened largely because the state failed to do its duty. The present laws are sufficient for states to protect their people, if they act. No riot can go on for more than a few hours without active complicity of the state." The proposed bill makes state officials criminally liable if they play a complicit role in mass violence, either by choosing not to act or acting in a prejudiced manner. Mander is at pains to point out that this is the cornerstone of the legislation and not the minority clause. Unfortunately for him, Jaitley's line that "the bill gives a virtual statutory declaration of innocent for a member of the minority community" is fast gaining currency.

Experts have questioned the need for a separate bill dealing with communal violence. Former Chief Justice of India J.S. Verma has pointed out that India already has the maximum number of laws in the world. "There is a need to identify the lacunae in the present laws, if any, and make amendments," he told the media.

"The existing law is good enough. What we need is good investigation and quick trial. An act of violence is adequately dealt with under the IPC. The motive of the act of violence, i.e. communal provocation, is relevant not for conviction but for punishment," says Supreme Court advocate Harish Salve. He adds, "Communities cannot be tried under criminal law. This law will only polarise the vote." Agrees sociologist Dipankar Gupta: "I believe all these are sops and diversion tactics. A law against inciting violence already exists. The question is not of a new bill but of implementing the law and being ruthless about it." He cites the example of the 1984 Sikh riots. "I recall an army general asking for one line from the Home Ministry to impose curfew. This didn't come. Similarly in Gujarat in 2002, there was administrative connivance," he says. In an indirect attack on the role of the NAC, he adds, "Some people want a spot in the sun and be a part of policy making. I call it the narcissism of policy." Clearly both the medium and the message have run into controversy. With the BJP determined to play up the minority clause, this may boomerang on the Congress.

Yup. Mullahs in collusion with congi leadership (lead by Lokpati Tripathi) deviced a plan to kill as much as Hindus possible during Dushehera festival. Main guys were the two nephews of third rate Urdu poet (some Benarsi, i can't recall his name). Idea was to discredit BJP by showing that you aren't safe even with BJP and reclaim Varanasi back to Tripathi clan of Congress. As the procession was passing through the Madanpura area with minimal police presence (Lokpati managed to remove it using the loyalty of IPS/IAS officers towards Congress) peaceful goons attacked it. By chance two local inspectors were present nearby and they opened fire. Goons got confused and ran away, as they were promised no police retaliation and whole plot was foiled.

Kalyan Singh suspended the DM, SSP, IG police and ordered the encounter of the two top Jihadi leaders of the city. BJP hasn't lost since then except for 2004 when a significant section of BJP voter base, Brahmins decided to try their luck with Rahul Gandhi.

Till now the Hindus haven't even bothered to vote these people out of power. And you think they are going to be moved enough to resort to street justice?
