Double Standard!!
by Contractor on Nov 28, 2007 10:17 AM   Permalink

All these parties including BJP stand up against the Bangladeshi immigrants who only come to India to get livelihood...its another story that we ourselves are a developing nation and cannot carry their burden. So i agree that bangladeshis are not wanted.

But this same party is supporting Taslima who is an immigrant herself and has come here since her country has thrown her out, unlike the other immigrants. These same BJP is now supporting her and inviting her to India. Why??? just because she is perceived as anti-muslim??? and more importantly elections are near.

Does Mr. Modi wants to win election on the basis of a bangladeshi immigrant issue???? does it mean that the people of gujarat will choose a government if it is ready to support Taslima???

Think over these questions people. We want to become a developed nation. All elections in developed nations are fought over economic policies, health, infrastructure and environment issues. I know for a fact that in Ealing (US) the ruling party MP was made to resign because he asked his secretary's mother be given preference in getting her travel documents.

Shame on us Indians on fighting on such nonsensical issues and electing governments on foolish agendas. Lets come out of this and let these politicians know that we will not be fooled again. They have to perform to remain in power and not come up with foolish emotional issues.
