Congress hiding behind 'Burqa of Secularism' : Modi

[doppelganger]

communalism is creation of saffronis . And on the one hand you are supporting the phrase "all is fair in politics" when it comes to hardline Hindu groups and on the other hand accuse and abuse congress of political manipulation.
Why this double standard?

Isnt it all fair in politics for Congress then?

Communalism is the creation of the Congress. From before Partition. They had able gurus in the form of the British. I have always said that the BJP should steadfastly stick to its guiding principle of Hindutva as cultural nationalism. It is what makes us Indian. It is what has always kept us secular, long before the West ever dreamed up the concept. It is what defines every Indian, whether he still practices the ancestral faith, or has moved on to another. You cannot remove Hindutva from India or Indians. Modi should galvanize the country by opening its eyes to the truth. About how we have been manipulated by the Congress into forgetting our Hindutva, to the point of becoming apologetic and embarrassed by it. Whereas it is in the forgetting of Hindutva and moving away from its unifying principles that we have faltered as a nation and a people.

I support Hindutva nationalism adoption by India. The issue is that you guys are confused and cant stand clearly for it.

There is no need to be secular either. India is the only country Hindus have. It is not only our motherland, but also our holy land. Hindus are the only people blessed by god who have their holy land in their own country (now Israel also). This blessing also gives us a double responsibility. Whether secular or not, is for Hindus to decide and no foreigner has any business to lecture us on this.

I have convinced at least 100 people in my circle to vote for BJP. I expect you all do the same. Thanks in advance.

Congress attacks Modi over 'burqa of secularism' remark


NEW DELHI: Hitting out at Narendra Modi over his veil of secularism remark, Congress on Monday said the "cloak of secularism" envelopes all faiths while the veil of communalism is sectarian and the country is witnessing a clash of these two visions.

Congress leader and information and broadcasting minister Manish Tewari said the choice before people was an inclusive India or an India which is sectarian.

"The cloak of secularism is all pervasive. It envelopes Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Jains - people of all faiths. While the veils of communalism are extremely sectarian. They believe, in their language people whom they qualify as 'kutte ka bachcha', which you (media) translated as puppies, should be crushed under the wheels of communalism," he told reporters here.

Modi had yesterday charged Congress with wearing the "burqa (veil) of secularism" and "hiding in a bunker" each time it is confronted with a crisis.

Tewari said, "This polarisation is not about Hindus versus Muslims, it is not about those who are the sufferers of a pogrom and those who inflicted the pogrom. It is about the basic idea of India, what kind of India we want to see".

"An India where people of all faiths, all religions, all dispensations, all inclinations have the right to progress in peace or an India which is sectarian in character, where some people believe that if you are not with us, you are against us and if you are against us, you deserve to be crushed under the wheels of communalism. I think that is the question we need to answer," he said.

The Congress leader said that the country had to choose between an inclusive vision and one that was sectarian and majoritarian.

"I think we are again back to basics, the fundamental clash of visions. The vision of the Congress party is pluralistic and inclusive. And the vision of the section of the opposition has been sectarian, majoritarian and communal right from the beginning," he said.

I am not confused. But yes, many Indians are.

2014 is going to be the showdown between the clear and the confused.

Let's see. Wait and watch.

Hinduism has always been a secular faith. You cannot ask us to be different to what our ancestors have always been.

But yes, we do need to ensure that others do not take advantage of our tolerance and big heartedness.

Yes, and the Congress has been feeding that, if not just looking the other way.

Hindus taking charge and coming to the forefront as a political entity does not automatically mean its deleterious to the hopes and aspirations of the minorities.

In fact, it is under Hindu rule that the minorities are safe and looked after.

Why do you think when Partition happened, all minorities of undivided India chose India? In spite of Jinnah's lofty ideals of Pakistan being a homeland for Muslims but where minorities would be welcome?

Its because an ancient civilization knows the difference between an ancestral faith and a foreign one. Between what one offers versus what the other promises.

Oh my God... now you brought the Two Nation Theory and the bogeyman. Now the trolls will search in Google and run like sailors run after girls. I don't have much faith in the political wisdom of our countrymen. 90 percent of them looked away as we were kicked out of the Valley. Instead they found Gujarat v2002 more interesting.

We are equally and sometimes less confused thatn those minds who have adopted a Islamist nationalism. For us the case is quite simple, its developement. I support any party or belief which chooses India/developement first with whatever means possible. Let progress take its course. Anything else happens then we have a supreme court, lets decide it there.

Brother let 2014 come. The day is not far when you will return to the valley to reclaim your heritage.

 

[Guynextdoor2]

So is with congress and you will agree with me commies were better than Congress........

How man? Have ever been to mallu land? The trade unionism that has destroyed the economy is entirely because of commies- congress was only reacting that through their own unions.

Brother let 2014 come. The day is not far when you will return to the valley to reclaim your heritage.

We aren't talking about Justin Beiber here

 

[PlanetWarrior]

The levels of personal attacks in this thread is disgusting. Spring Onion whilst I understand your hatred of Indian non-Muslims, I expected a better quality of posts from a senior member of this forum who represents Pakistani journalists (justified or not). The mods ought to keep stricter control of this forum

Every time someone talks about standing for it...we can see you, what has happened to you and our confusion is gone.
