Turning a blind eye to treason

First it was Kashmir, now it is Assam.

The Kashmiris have been raising pro-pakistani slogans, raising Pakistani flags at the same time indulging in anti national activities for quite a while now.

The Government has been soft on this for fear of alienating the Muslims. Any other country with an iota of self respect would have come down on anti national activities, that amounts to treason, with a heavy hand.

Instead we allow the Geelanis and Arundhathi Roys to abuse our Country with impunity.

Now the disease has spread to the far east. The Bodos in Assam is locked in a fight with illegal Bangladeshi immigrants, all Muslims, for a while now. With the tacit support of the Congress party and others like Ram Vilas Paswan, these illegal migrants, who have no right to be in our country by any logic, recently attacked the Bodos and Indian army by raising, listen, 'Pro Pakistani' slogans.

Again, what does our Government do? Absolutely nothing. There is more platitudes by way of how we should not alienate the minority community.

This has nothing to do with religion. This has to do only with national security. The fact that someone belongs to a particular community doesnt give them the right to commit treason and indulge in anti national activities. A message should be sent clear and loud that this will not be tolerated but will be put down.

It is such a crying shame that Congress party, that claims to have got independance from the British, should now be accused of being guilty by complicity to all these activities that subvert the nation.

Gandhiji insisted that the Congress be disbanded once India got independance. But none paid heed to him. He and other freedom fighters must be squirming in their graves.
