He may claim that riots have lessened in his reign. Indeed, since it was his community, the Yadavs, who were mostly active in riots against muslims, his coming to power has meant that strict instructions given to the community against rioting have been honoured.
What do muslims need to be "saved" from? In this largely peaceful hindu-majority nation, muslims are allowed to pray, practise and profess thier religion (Which also means turning a blind eye to traffic problems caused by muslims praying on the street). No POTA now, so less terrorists (who were mostly muslims) can be arrested on suspicion. Any allegation against muslims is turned down using secularism as an excuse, so much so that a whole national machinery plots to castigate riots in the most peaceful and progressive state of India sparked after muslims killed innocent hindu women and children. Blind eyes are turned to muslims celebrating India's defeat to pakistan in sports. Will such be tolerated in any other nation, even pakistan? So, what has laloo saved muslims from? . I'll tell you. He has posted muslims in charge of most thanas in Bihar who have turned a blind eye to criminal activities including smuggling drugs and ISI spies through Nepal. That is his saviour act. Some claim even dawood ibrahim has a passport and driving license from Bihar. So, he has saved criminal muslims from punishment.
Well, so this is the face of "secular" India! . pakis claim a lot of things, including Kashmir, as their own. So, do we have to take their word as gospel? . If Indian muslims are indeed Indian, why did laloo have to mention paki certification to put his point across. After all, the chief allegation against muslims in India is that they are supporters of pakistan. So, why are muslims playing to these tunes if they want to prove themselves otherwise. Why didn't the large number of muslims present protest the use of such an argument? Why doesn't the author of this piece protest it either? Is it giving comfort to muslims that pakistan has verified laloo's credentials? Why didn't the secular giants like sonia protest it either?
It is all a number game.In the Indo-Gangetic plain, voters belonging to Muslim community appear to be an important factor in determining the Results in our 'FPP' Election model. In this situation,can one really call these voters belonging to a particular religion as 'religious Minority'. This is a serious issue. Clearly NUMBERS matter. Obviously, some threshold should be defined to earn the Minority Status. For Example,Parsis, Anglo-Indians group, Christians of all different varieties etc are typically less than 2 to 3 %in most constituencies hence no politician of so called 'secular' variety takes any trouble to woo these voters.On the other these groups have shown sustained development in all spheres of life and have contributed considerably to the development of our nation without having to invoke any Minority Rights etc. Has anyone heard about Hindu-Parsi or Hindu-Christain riots of the type Hindu-Muslim riots in some parts of our country.It is therefore clear that these riots are motivated,mainly by those who want a solid vote share from these Muslim Voters by frightening them.I appeal to Muslim Voter to awaken & be aware of these Hypocrites. Try,search,find REAL FRIENDS
I too believe in secular ideology but now this is getting too much. I did not vote for BJP as they were trying to create hatered between the two religions but these parties seem to be much more communal. They are talking of giving reservations on the basis of religion. Think about the youth of the country. I urge every Indian to discourage such activities and show their anger by voting these truly communal parties out.

Dear friend, prosperity of innocent and straightforward Bihari people was under check in the regime of Lalu and his family. He betrayed the trust they reposed in him and in his family. They have now come to realise how selfish he was and is, and that patience with Lalu and his coterie beyond a certain limit is suicidal to them. They are also fed up with Paswan's unrealistic approach. Biharis are an intelligent lot. They will now in the ensuing elections sift the grain from the chaff.
The polititians for their own sake are trying to damage the country.when you adress a particular community are you not communal? where are those so called guardians of secularism of as most of the people cynically says it applies only when a particular community to be more specific muslims are affected.All the money spent for so called welfare of aparticular community comes from the taxpayer who is form all brackets of the country.This tendency to adress a particular community is very dangerous.What is wrong if VHP or RSS or for that matter any one talks about Hindus welfare?Why they are branded communal?The whole issue shows very narrow vision.If this trend continues we are nearing another division of the country.
Read the statements made by Lalu, sonia and his team. It is clear indication that this bunch of jokers always try to woo muslims for their votes. And still call themselves secular. what a pity on Indian public.
