Intellectual Terrorism by CAG

To:

The Honorable President of India, Smt. Pratibha Devsingh Patil

The Honorable Prime Minister of India, Dr. Manmohan Singh

The Honorable Chief Justice of India, Justice S. H. Kapadia


Dear Honorable Madam/Sirs,

We are concerned at the letter dated 5th October 2011 (copied below) addressed to you (all three) by Coalition Against Genocide, supported by 35 so called Human Rights organisation working abroad. The letter is nothing but intellectual terrorism and also a direct interference in our judicial process and democratic functioning.

CAG is just distorting the facts. On 11th May 2005, the Hon. Minister of State for Home Affairs Shri Sriprakash Jaiswal informed the Rajya Sabha that 254 Hindus and 790 Muslims were killed in Gujarat in the post-Godhra riots of 2002. Thus it is apparent that it was Riots in which both Muslims and Hindus were involved. How can they call this a Genocide? CAG is building castles on false foundation.

CAG is threatening to launch an international campaign on behalf of Mr. Sanjiv Bhatt. This amounts to interfering in the internal affairs of our country. By this way, they are trying to intellectually terrorise the Government of India and the judiciary to submit to their whims and fancy. Their intention seems to be to boost the morale of anti-national and terrorist forces and to destabilise the country by spreading communal hatred.

In the name of Human Rights, some fringe elements are bent upon supporting terrorists and also those who work against the unity and integrity of our country. In fact, they had succeeded in getting bail for Dr. Binayak Sen, who was sentenced to Life Imprisonment, for sedition and for supporting Maoists, by the Raipur Secession Court and whose bail plea was rejected by the Chattisgarh High Court. By taking recourse to intellectual terrorism, they had also succeeded in declaring "Salwa Judum" unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, which in fact has helped the Maoists. Under such conditions, it is difficult for the state governments to counter Maoist-Naxalite terrorism.

The electronic media also seems to have joined hands with these so called Human Rights Activists, in sensationalizing and blowing up the arrest of Mr. Sanjiv Bhattt and influencing the decision of the administration and the judiciary, as they did in the case of Dr. Sen.

The arrest of Mr. Bhatt is an internal matter of our country, and overseas organisations have no business to put mental pressure on or interfere in the functioning of our democratically elected governments.

We, Hindu Journalists & Intellectuals Forum, a body of journalists, writers, authors and intellectuals, earnestly appeal to your Honours, not to succumb to such intellectual terrorism from within the country or from abroad and ‘media trials’. Let the law take its course and let truth prevail.

Coalition Against Genocide letter demands action over the arrest of whistle-blower cop Sanjiv Bhatt

Wednesday, October 5th, 2011

Recipients:

The Honorable President of India, Smt. Pratibha Devsingh Patil

The Honorable Prime Minister of India, Dr. Manmohan Singh

The Honorable Chief Justice of India, Justice S. H. Kapadia

Dear Honorable Sir/Madam

The Coalition Against Genocide (CAG) seeks your urgent intervention in the case of the arrest of Mr. Sanjiv Bhatt, a distinguished IPS Officer from Gujarat, whose main crime has been to speak truth about the 2002 violence in Gujarat. As incumbents of the three highest offices of the Indian State, we cannot but turn to you at this moment of crisis. The Coalition Against Genocide is an advocacy coalition that was created in the wake of the Gujarat carnage of 2002 with the single purpose of working to bring the perpetrators of the genocide and other communal crimes to justice. We stand steadfast behind Mr. Bhatt and are committed to launching an international campaign on his behalf in the absence of corrective action by the Central Government to ensure his safety, and to bring an end to this vengeful retaliation against him. Without reiterating the well known facts to the case, we do want to bring to your notice:

The increasing misuse of the law to harass those on the side of truth has reached crisis proportions in India. Over the last decade the number of whistleblowers who have been put under extreme duress through the misuse of the law against them is a matter of much concern. Mr. Bhatt's arrest is simply the most recent case, and given the truth at stake, the most egregious one. Such treatment of whistleblowers (several of whom have been killed) positions India as a gross violator of human rights from an international human rights standpoint.

In the case of Mr. Bhatt we also wish to state that he had already moved the Supreme Court on the same FIR and therefore Modi government's intervention amounts to an interference with judicial process and makes all the more visible its desperation and vindictive attitude.

We respectfully urge you to act without delay. CAG has also decided to move forward, beginning Monday, Oct 10th, with an international human rights campaign unless the matter is seized on by the highest offices of the state. While we are bound by our ethics to stand on the side of truth and justice we sincerely hope that we will not need to launch such a campaign.

Sincerely

What is the Religion of Bharat?

What is the Religion of Bharat?

P. Deivamuthu, Editor, Hindu Voice (hinduvoicemumbai@gmail.com)



Every country has a religion. USA (whom we try to ape), UK, Australia, Canada, etc. (although Democratic and Secular), proudly say that they are Christian countries. Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, etc. proudly say that they are Islamic countries, although there is no democracy and ‘secularism’. Even Sri Lanka proudly says it is a Buddhist country.

What is the Religion of Bharat? - Islam or Christianity? No. Can it be anything other than Hindu (Sanatan Hindu Dharm)?

If the culture of America is Christian and that of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan is Islam, the culture of India is Hindu. Any one trying to hide this Hindu identity is dishonest. Even hard core anti-Hindus like Brinda Karat, Medha Patkar, Teesta Setalvad, Mallika Sarabai, Arundathi Roy, Barkha Dutt, Ambika Soni, and many others, are testifying to this, showing up in saree with a big Bindi on their foreheads. They can hate Hindu religion but not Hindu culture.

If India is the body, Hindutva is its soul. The UPA is killing this soul. Just think - what happens when the soul leaves the body. Do you want this to happen to our beloved Motherland?

Do we Hindus have one country to call it ours, although we are 100 crores? When India was partitioned in 1947, with the birth of a Muslim Pakistan, India should have been declared a Hindu Nation. But we opted for ‘secularism’. And today Hindus are Second Class citizens - Muslims and Christians getting special privileges. Our Prime Minister has declared that minorities should have first claim on our resources - an unconstitutional statement.

The present UPA Govt., under Sonia, is working towards dividing and converting Hindus, empowering Muslims and Christians in the name of secularism and supporting terrorists and Maoists.

Time is not far off when North Indians visiting Tirupathi Balaji, Rameshwaram, Kanyakumari Vivekananda Rock memorial, etc. may have to carry a Passport and Visa. Similarly, South Indians visiting Kashi, Ganga, Khumb Mela, Amarnath, Vaishno Devi, etc. may need a Passport and visa. One shudders to think of this, but the UPA Govt. is working towards this end.

Although we were enslaved for nearly 1000 years, we re-emerged as one nation. This was possible due to our spiritual and cultural unity, which we call Hindutva.

This spiritual and cultural unity of India is being tampered with by the present UPA Govt. Here, in brief, are some proofs.

The National Advisory Council, headed by Sonia Gandhi, is an unconstitutional body. It has no national element in it. NAC consists of blind folded fundamentalist and Maoist supporters whose only aim is to destroy Hindu culture. NAC acts as a super-cabinet.

The NAC has drafted a Communal Violence Bill. The Bill says that only Hindus are creating communal violence and Muslims and Christians are the victims. That is - Muslims and Christians are peace-loving and Hindus are trouble makers. This, after repealing POTA to help terrorists, mostly Muslims. If this Bill becomes a Law, Hindus will be at the mercy of Muslims and Christians, which is as good as slavery.

Dr. Binayak Sen was sentenced to Life Imprisonment by Raipur Secessions’ Court for treason and for helping Maoists. The Chattisgarh high court rejected his bail plea. The Supreme Court granted him bail. Immediately, the UPA Govt. has nominated him to the Planning Commission’s steering committee on health.

Mr. Harsh Mandar, a member of NAC, has openly come in support of a Maoist-Naxalite, Abdul Shakeel Basha, arrested by the Gujarat police. Basha’s wife was allotted a Govt. house!

Salwa Judum, a movement of Tribal youths to counter the Naxalite-Maoist terrorism has been declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, due to a counter-offensive demonising it in the press, on TV and in courts and with European Union jholawallahs.

Christian delegations from USA and Europe are allowed to survey riot-affected areas. They even supervise court proceedings! Today, lakhs of Christian missionaries are working in India, to convert Hindus and make India in to a Christian country and to enslave Hindus.

In memory of a Kerala nun - Alphonsa - 10 rupee coin embossed with her picture is released. Did the govt. do so for any Hindu saint?

Missionaries of Charity Chief Sister Nirmala was awarded the nation's second highest civilian award Padma Vibhushan. Gladys Steins, the wife of murdered Australian missionary, Graham Steins, too got Padma Shri a few years back. They are being rewarded for converting Hindus.

After the demise of Satya Sai Baba, the AP Govt. is trying to take over his Trust. After the demise of Mother Teressa, did the govt. question any of the activities of Missionaries of Charity or check its cash & bank balance?

Navin Chavla was appointed as the Chief Election Commissioner only because he was a converted Christian. His wife is a Christian missionary.

Tainted PJ Thomas was appointed the Chief Vigilance Commissioner, inspite of objection by the Opposition Leader, only because he was a Christian. (The Supreme Court cancelled his appointment)

There are about 2.5 crore Christians in India, i.e. about 3%, a negligible amount. Yet there were (in Aug. 2006) five Christian chief ministers - Nagaland, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Kerala and AP.

Many politicians/activists of Sonia’s closed circle are Christians - Oscar Fernandes, Margaret Alwa, Ambika Soni, AK Anthony, Valson Thampu, John Dayal, Kancha Illaya (the latter three are Hindu-haters). There are many other crypt-Christians too. Ahmed Patel, a Muslim, is her PA.

At the request of the All India Christian Council (AICC), Sonia Congress gave ticket to two Christians for the Maharashtra Assembly elections. Does any Sadhu or Sant write to Congress or BJP?

The Presidential staff is headed by Ms. Christie Fernandes, a Christian and a Sonia favourite. All finer details including the colour of the Saree to be worn by the President on specific occasions are decided by her. Yes, Sonia’s diktat even goes deep into Rashtrapathi Bhavan, and that too through Christians. Just look at the hold of Rome on India!

On 2nd August 2011, Sonia Gandhi, suddenly and secretly left for USA for medical treatment. It seems she does not trust Indian hospitals and doctors. She formed a 4-member core group to look after the affairs of the party during her absence. Look at the members - A.K. Antony, Ahmed Patel, Rahul Gandhi and Janardhan Dwidevi. Christians and Muslims are preferred for all important positions.

200 (two hundred) years ago Hindus in Kandahar (Afghanistan) were performing Pooja, singing Bhajans and Kirtans. Today there is no one, all replaced by Al Qaeda and Talibans.100 (hundred) years ago, Hindus were there in Karachi and Lahore. Today there is none. All have vanished into thin air. 50 (fifty) years ago, Hindus were there in Srinagar (Kashmir). Today no one is left there. All have been driven out.

Considering the above historic facts, 50 (fifty) years from now, will you (or your son/daughter or grand son/grand daughter) be able to perform Pooja, singing Bhajans and Kirtans? Logic says ‘NO’. Muslim population explosion also confirms this. Also, look at the following symptoms.

In Jalpaiguri, a border district in West Bengal near Bangladesh, Hindus are threatened by Muslims not to cook food during day-time in the month of Ramzan. In 2007, Hindus celebrating Holi in Howrah were attacked by Muslims. In a few villages in Thenkasi Taluka (Tamil Nadu), Muslims have by sheer numbers democratically taken over the Panchayat; Now they have started taking out Notices in Urdu. In the same Taluka, Christians object to Hindus performing Pongal (Makar Sankaranti) on the street.

In many places in the North East, Indians are not welcome; Slogans like ‘Indian Dogs, get out’ painted on walls are common. A Christian MP of Congress calling Baba Ramdev ‘Bloody Indian Dog’ goes scot free. In Miraj, a Ganesh Mandap was attacked by Muslims in 2010. Similarly, in Borsad (Gujarat) Ganapathy processions were attacked by Muslims. Kashmiri Muslims oppose temporary transit camps being provided to Amarnath Yatris (compare this with Haj subsidies).

While Hindus in Pakistan are persecuted and seeking asylum in India, our PM is making efforts to return the properties of Muslims who have left for Pakistan, to their heirs via The Enemy Property Bill.

Efforts are made to belittle Hindus and Hindu Sants. Attack on Kanchi Shankaracharya, Asaram Bapu, Baba Ramdev, Bangaru Adigalar, Narendra Maharaj, Swami Nityananda, Satya Sai Trust, Sanatan Sanstha, Hindu Janjagruti Samiti, Rashtriya Swamaysevak Sangh, VHP, etc. are a few examples. A TV channel reporting on the terrorist activities of a Madrassa is told to apologise; whereas TV channels tarnishing the image of Hindu Sadhus and Sants go scot free. The UPA Govt. talks of ‘saffron terror’; did it ever say ‘green terror’ or ‘red terror’?

As demanded by Christian Missionaries, the Executive Officer of Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanam was transferred, as he was blocking conversion of Hindus.

The UPA Govt. is trying to declare Devbhasha, Sanskrit, as a dead language, whereas it is giving incentive for learning Arabic and Urdu.

Muslims and Christians will vote only for the Congress, simply because it empowers them to dominate over Hindus. They are not bothered about Bomb Blast, price rise, terrorism, corruption, national security, economic development, farmers’ suicide, democracy, religious freedom, etc. But what about you, Hindus? Is this the legacy you want to leave behind for your sons and daughters - to become slaves again? If not, get up from your deep slumber. Be a part of the Hindu Vote Bank.

With just 29% vote and 206 MPs (out of 543), Sonia Gandhi is ruling India as her personal fiefdom. If 50% Hindus vote for one party (that Hindu party will spring up in time, like the Janata Party in 1977), it can get 2/3rd majority. We can then even amend the Constitution, to make Bharat a Hindu Nation - a Vishwa Guru as it once was - where there will be true democracy and secularism. Are you Ready?

Satyagrah Yes, Fast No.

Satyagrah Yes, Fast No.

Swami Ramdevji has announced that he will be starting a Satyagrah with a fast unto death from 4th June 2011 in New Delhi.

Although the whole world knows of his Satyagrah a month ago through the Aastha TV, the media is covering the news only now, when the news could no more be suppressed. That is how our news-hungry media behaves!

But I have a request to make to Swami Ramdevji. He should go for the Satyagrah and Dharna, and NOT for fasting unto death. Through the Satyagrah he should show his power which will itself frighten the corrupt politicians ruling our country. He can even challenge them politically - announcing the formation of a political party. He should field candidates in all the parliamentary constituencies and capture power at the centre. He can then implement his agenda. All this is OK.

But fasting unto death is risky. First, the fast will deteriorate his health. Second, the Congress never considered Anna Hazare as its enemy because he did not challenge it politically. Since Swami Ramdevji is challenging the Congress politically, the Congress considers him as an enemy. It will take this opportunity to ‘eliminate’ him. One or two days after the fast starts, the UPA government may arrest him and take him to a hospital and give him some injection on the pretext of saving his life, but in fact with long term effect to finish him off slowly in a few years. God forbid, but this may happen as the Congress will do anything to finish off its enemy.

Every nationalist Indian wants Swami Ramdevji to live for a few hundred years. He should make the nation and its people healthy through Yog and Politics, and guide Maa Bharathi to become the Vishwa Guru. What he is doing has the mass support of Indians, and he should go ahead with his programme of Nayi Azadi and Nayi Vyavastha.

In short, Swami Ramdevji should go ahead with his Satyagrah and Dharna, but CANCEL ‘fasting unto death’.

As it is, we have lost Rajiv Dixitji. We CANNOT lose Swami Ramdevji.

A Belgium citizen, advising an Italian Christian Sonia, on how to run a Hindu Nation

From Democracy to Oligarchy?

A Belgium citizen, advising an Italian Christian Sonia, on how to run a Hindu Nation of 121 crores!
(Editorial in Hindu Voice, May 2011)
(hinduvoicemumbai@gmail.com)

When the Britishers could not withstand the heat of our Freedom Fighters and were afraid of their lynching at the hands of our Revolutionaries, they looked for a safety valve. They created the Indian National Congress in 1885, which acted as a buffer between the Colonialists and the Indian Revolutionaries.

Today, when the Congress is not able to withstand the heat generated by the Yog Guru Baba Ram Dev by his Bharat Swabhimaan Andolan, it was looking for a safety valve. In Anna Hazareji, it has found out one.

Anna Hazareji is a Gandhian and is fighting against corruption. No one can suspect his honesty, sincerity and commitment. However, people outside Maharashtra do not know him. Baba Ramdev, who is carrying on a campaign against Black Moneys stashed away in foreign countries, included him in his Movement for Nayi Azadi and Nayi Vyavastha and introduced him to the entire world through the Aastha TV. Baba’s anticorruption rally in Delhi on 27th Feb. 2011, included Anna Hazareji, but the entire media boycotted the event although more than a lakh people attended it.

The secular gang and the Congress which were uncomfortable with Baba’s movement (which he has taken to far flung areas like Madurai and Koilpatti in TN, Dimapur in Nagaland and Kannur in Kerala), were waiting for an opportune moment to sabotage his movement. When Anna sat on a fast on 5th April 2011, the entire secular gang, with the connivance of the Congress, jumped into the bandwagon and hijacked the entire show.

It is noteworthy that Anna never mentioned anything about the Bharat Swabhimaan Andolan of Baba Ramdev during his 5-day fast, although Swami Ramdev did attend Anna’s Fast. Possibly, the secular gang surrounding him saw to it that he neglects BSA. Also, the saffron flag of the Bharat Mata picture at the background was changed to tricolour. With a grand media hype, Anna too got his ego satisfied and got carried away. He even batted for the NAC and sought the help of Sonia, the queen of corruption, in fighting corruption!

Can just one Law make miracles and curb corruption? Under the existing laws, is not corruption almost zero in Gujarat? Has Gujarat not developed? Anna himself has certified this. (For that, he was derided by the gang of civil society activists). So what we need today is not additional laws. We need honest and dynamic leaders (like Narendra Modi). Baba Ramdev is exactly trying to do this. What is the contribution of Anna on this count?

The entire exercise of forming a Joint Drafting Committee amounts to subversion of democracy. Here, I am not talking about the merits or demerits of the Lokpal Bill. In a democracy, it is the elected representatives of people - both from the ruling party and the opposition - who form Joint Committees. But in this case, the so called members from the civil society have replaced the opposition. Whom do they represent? Whom are they answerable to? Have they not made the opposition irrelevant? Where are we heading? Is the communist ideology of throwing democracy with “people’s power” at action?

First, it was the extra-constitutional National Advisory Council headed by Sonia Gandhi, with members from dubious NGOs which was imposed upon the cabinet. Now, this Joint Drafting Committee relegating the opposition, which is again an extra-constitutional body. Democracy, in spite of its shortcomings, is the best form of governance. But what we are seeing today in India is oligarchy. This is a dangerous trend.

If one looks at the composition of NAC, one would be shocked to find many names, who are running known anti-national and anti-Hindu NGOs. One of the members of NAC is Mr. Jean Drèze. He was born in Belgium in 1959, and became an Indian citizen in 2002. He is going to advise Sonia Gandhi - on what only God knows. A Belgium citizen, advising an Italian Christian Sonia, on how to run a country of 121 crore people, more than 85% of whom are Hindus! Doesn’t it look weird? Do they have anything to do with India and its spiritualism, culture and tradition?

Under the NAC, there are various Working Groups. The WG on Communal & Sectarian Violence has again set up an Advisory Group and a Drafting Committee to develop a draft bill on communal and sectarian violence.

Exactly on these lines, a Joint Drafting Committee has been formed for the Lokpal Bill now. By sidelining the duly elected opposition, these so called civil society activists, as also the NAC headed by Sonia Gandhi, have usurped political power unconstitutionally. In other words, they are digging the grave for democracy.

The Congress is not at all afraid of Anna Hazare as he is not a political threat. But Baba Ramdev is. He is forming a political party and is going to challenge the Congress at the next parliamentary election. The Congress (like the Britishers in 1880s) was on the look out for a buffer and Anna Hazare (like MK Gandhi) has fit the bill. So he was promoted with the help of an obliging media and multinational companies waiting to take revenge of Baba Ramdev.

If Anna Hazare continues on this trail, he will be doing a national disservice. Instead, he should join the Bharat Swabhimaan Andolan of Baba Ramdev, and strengthen his hands. Otherwise, there will be two parallel anticorruption movements, dividing the people (voters), benefiting the Congress. This is what the Congress wants, and this is what Anna should desist from doing, if he is really interested in eliminating corruption and corrupt politicians.

By the way, Swami Ramdev has planned an anti-corruption Satyagrah in Delhi from the 4th of June 2011, with more than a lakh members of BSA. One hopes that as a true patriot Anna Hazare too will support this Satyagrah. Let us all wait and see how the mafia media covers this event.

Swami Ram Vs Anna Hazare?

This is further to my msg dated 8th April 2011. Anna Hazareji has ended his fast. The Govt. has agreed to form a committee to draft a Jan Lokpal Bill. If one law can solve the problem of corruption, that is well and good.

The media is overenthusiastic in reporting the entire event live. Swami Ram Dev who first started the anti-corruption movement, is visiting each district through out the country, where lakhs of people assemble to listen to him. The same media has never reported his meetings or speeches. What is their enthusiasm in reporting Anna Hazariji’s fast? Is it a Congress managed show?

The Congress is not at all worried as long as there is no threat to it from another political party. Anna Hazare has not uttered a single word against Congress - the fountain head of corruption. He has also announced that he is not interested in politics. And this is exactly what Congress wants.

Contrary to this, Swami Ramdev has decided to form a political party and challenge the Congress. Looking at the public response to his campaign, the Congress became jittery. And in Anna Hazareji, it has found a good safety valve. By driving a wedge between Swami Ram Dev and Anna Hare, the Congress wants to take some winds out of the sails of Swami Ramdev.

Anna Hazareji has not mentioned a single word in support of the Bharat Swbhimaan Andolan of Swami Ram Dev. On the contrary, he has announced that he will form an organisation, taking advantage of the groundswell of support from youngsters. Now what this new organisation will do, as it is not going to enter politics? Will it be complimentary or competitive to BSA?

When Anna Hazare broke his fast, he took Nimbooz by 7Up, a Pepsi product described by Swami Ramdev as "toilet cleaner". This will definitely boost the sale of Pepsi, against which Swami Ramdev is carrying on a relentless campaign.

In fact, what Anna Hazareji is doing is exactly fitting in to the scheme of things of the Congress. It has divided the anti-corruption movement - one with Swami Ram and the other with Anna Hazareji, supported by Art of Living and some dubious NGOs having a soft corner for the Congress - two parallel organisations working against corruption, in the process dividing the people (voters) into two. And in the entire episode, the Congress party is the winner! To escape from the fury of revolutionaries, the British Government established the Congress party, as a safety valve. Today, the Congress is propping up Anna Hazareji, to escape from the fury of Swami Ram Dev. History is repeating itself.
