Now it is official. Antulay's thesis is a part of larger canvas. After Lalu Prasad's laboured explanation, yesterday Digvijay Singh has gone on record justifying Antulay. After the results of the 5 assembly elections were out, elections that were conducted during/after Mumbai carnage, Congress is sensing blood. What if top Police brass is killed, what if an attack takes place on our soil, what if a few hundred lives are lost, what if heritage buildings are ruined, what if our economy is seriously affected, convert this into an opportunity and rake in votes.
If Advani laid the foundations for terrorism in India, who opened the locks of the temple in Ayodhya and who had a huge platform built in its front for Ram Katha? Who opened election campaign from Ayodhya and who promised Ram Rajya?
Some may attribute the whole episode to our propensity for shooting our own leg. But it is not so. This is a deliberate attempt to woo or even provoke muslims. These actions/statements may, well, be foundations for future terrorism.
People with moderate views are silent. May be a few honourable exceptions like 'Nachwali' Shabana Azmi. There is no all-round condemnation by 'secular intellectuals'. No joint statements. Communists - deafening silence.
what is happening? Wither this great country? Is this freedom for all or licence for a few.
Training camps will flourish, terrorist groups will quietly sneak in and cause mayhem. People will be lost. Men in uniform will be lost. Economy will be in shambles. We will not retaliate. No preventive defence. US & UK will effectively ensure that. We will bow to their dictates. Pakistan will continue to get billions. We will grab this opportunity. Advani will get more opportunities to 'study the situation'. Antulay will theorize. Digvijay Singh will justify. Lalu Prasad will explain. Secularists will gloat in silence.
We dont need enemies. We have enough friends.
