If BJP's stand can be termed as jingoistic and communalistic, what about the other so called secular parties? In india secularism is equal to hindu bashing! While people were up in arms for banning farzania, a similar sentiment about muslims being blamed for everything was well espoused in Chak De and it ran packed houses and without incident in Gujrat. If things are depicted in a right spirit, hindus will accept it! This country has housed muslims for over 10 centuries and christians for well over 500 years and need no certificate from any country / any communists or any lessons on how to live with our muslim and christian brethens. While the Tamil nadu and Central government should have gone to the public at large, explaining how the project would save plenty of time and fuel by building the canal over sethu samudram and how development would take place along coastal areas of india and how it will stimulate trade and bring economic prosperity, it went about questioning the existence of Ram! Ideally both centre and TN government could have avoided this and even if objections were raised, it could have been put across saying that Shri ram built the bridge to bring back Sita and after the accomplishment of that mission, the bridge had served the purpose! If Mr. Karunanidhi was indeed serious of the project, he as an executive should have taken the care to inform the public the utility value of the project and how it would help the people rather than question the sentiments

Imagine what would have happened if karunanidhi spoke about islam that allah is a drunkard or jesus is a drunkard. He had been shot point blank by this time. It is hindus that are taking lightly on any comments passed on the religion be it karunanidhi, or mf hussain paintings.

If Just quoting what valmiki said in his Ramayana hurts Hindus then there must be something seriouly wrong with Ramayana. Karunanidhi has reiterated that whatever he said about Ram are not his personal opinions but what is said in Valmiki's Ramayana and "history of World" Written by Jawaharlal Nehru. Did they hurt Hindus?

Mr. Siva kumar The issue is whether sethu samudram project is to be proceeded with or not! Mr. Karunanidhi should have taken pains to explain the merits of the project, rather than hurting some ones sentiments when it was not required to be commented upon! Dictionary also contains lots of words of abuse, do u use them in front of ur parents ? They should not be offended, for it is in the dictionary! There is a thing call propriety, which unfortunately is missing in karunanidhis one track hindu bashing infested DNA. I have no problem with karunanidhi questioning religious belief in totality! But selective religious bashing shows shamness of his character! If he is of scientific temperament, he should desist from partaking rice stew during ramzan, inviting sai baba at home, and garlanding and offering flowers to the dead leaders of his party!
