Pot and Kettle
by Manjula A on Feb 23, 2008 11:10 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

BJP and RSS's reactions to Raj's actions are a classic case of the Pot calling the Kettle Black. That never means that the Pot has been cleaned. That's a stupid assumption.

So Ms Manjula you support the linguistic and Maratha jingoism of Raj Thackerey in Mumbai? Have you heard the verdict of the SC in this connection? What BJP says is the constitutional mandate of the country. No more no less. It is the Congress that is encouraging these disruptive tendencies in the country to divide and destroy this country for narrow and selfisn but unpatriotic ends. Congress wants Raj to indulge in these divisive attacks on North Indians to divide the Sena, and weaken the combined strength of Sena and BJP. It is a political game similar to what was played by Mrs Gandhi in encouraging Bhindarwala in Punjab with disastrous results. Congress has not learnt yet any lessons simply because it is now headed by a non-Indian, whose real loyalty to India is wafer thin. Learn something from history of the country, lest it repeats itself.

Colonal, RSS and BJP always call Sonia non-Indian. It is ok you do not accept her, but what about BJP and RSS, they are still wearing Gora Sahib's Khaki Chaddi and following Britishers agenda of Hindu-Muslim divide.

Re-read writings, speech of say SP Mukherjee, Deendayal Upadhyay, or Golwalkar. No where you will find they they spoke about sub nationalities- its always nationalism.

TATAGATA,
I don't know whether you have really read and understood Golwalkar ect.. It's is all about sub-nationalism, about paranoia and inferiority complex. Any definition of 'Nationalism' that does not include all citizensof the country irrespective of all religions, cultures, location, and class is an oxymoron.

These 3 RSS gurus in their later years were tortured by their consciences.They told people they met that if they got a chance they would undo the hatredness they had spread in the country.

dear Colonel, nobody is supporting the dividers. I am only saying a bigger divider has not right to call a smaller divider a divider.

Dear Col Aggarwala, you are right. Even the original Shiv Sena was the creation of the Congress Party. The then leader of Congress, Rajni Patel gave all encouragement to Mr. Bal Thackeray in their eagerness to defeat the late Mr. V.K. Krishna Menon from Chembur Parliamentary Constituency in Mumbai. So much for the contribution of Congress party!!!!!!!!!The root cause of all problems in our Country is the Congress party and their desire to remain in power by hook or by crook.
