Dr Zafarul-Islam Khan runs away
from debate on 'Hindu Terror'
1. Today I received a mail from Dr Zafarul-Islam Khan (copied below). It is a letter addressed by him to the HM, on "Hindu terror" asking for a ban on RSS.
2. I replied to him as under.
3. Instead of replying and debating, he
unsubscribed me from his mailing list.

terror—Mushawarat writes to Home Minister demanding probe
Dear Dr Zafarul-Islam Khan,
I refer to the recent Press Note dated 5th Feb. 2014, which
you have sent me. It is a letter written by you to the Home Minister, on the
‘Hindutva terror’ by RSS.
I have watched you on many TV
debates. I thought you (as the editor of Milli Gazette and President of the All
India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat, claiming to be the Umbrella body of the Indian
Muslim organisations) will be a modern and broadminded Muslim. But from your
letter to the Home Minister, I am shocked to know that you are nothing but a
fanatic Muslim.
Probably, the enormous support Narendra Modi receives from
nationalist Muslims all over India has rattled you. Hence, you are trying to
propagate your fanatic views among Muslims, and have taken this opportunity (of
press reports on RSS) to tarnish RSS.
A report in the Caravan magazine
(I do not know how many people know of its existence) has made you jump with
joy, and you have gone to the extent of demanding a ban on RSS. In this age of
"paid news" or "manufactured news" with a view to increasing readership, your
relying on a report in an unknown magazine is surprising.
But the intention of my writing
this letter to you is different. I feel that you are wasting your time and
energy in taking on RSS, which is already a dead horse as far as Hindutva is
concerned.
I was in the RSS for 30 years.
During the last 10 years I was a Nagarsanghchalak and was in their Dharma Jagran
Samiti too. Three years back I have given up all my responsibilities with RSS,
not for the reason you think, but exactly for the opposite reason. My reason for
leaving RSS was: "RSS is making Hindu Warriors into eunuch
(napusank)".
Please note that RSS has given up
aggressiveness long back. Today, it does not even want to hurt a fly. So, your
accusing them of planting bombs to kill human beings is just ridiculous. And
involvement of RSS chief Shri Mogan Bhagawat and Shri Indresh Kumar in such
alleged plots is just rubbish.
The RSS today is not
what it was in 1982 when I joined it. Today, RSS has lost its moorings. You
might have watched the Times Now debate on 24th Jan. 2014. Shri Ram Madhav was
very pathetic disclaiming Hindu Rashtra and blaming Veer Savarkar for
propagating Hindu Rashtra. That clearly shows that RSS has given up Hindutva and
is now competing with others to be a secular NGO, which does not go well with
Hindu Intellectual Warriors like me.
My earnest appeal to you would
therefore be NOT to be obsessed with RSS any more, and leave them to do their
‘social service’ unconcerned with Hindutva. Fortunately for me, and
unfortunately for you, today many Hindu organisations have come up, in
competition with RSS, who are more aggressive in taking up Hindu causes. Hindus
have started trusting these new Hindu organisations more than RSS, for
protecting this Hindu nation, from radical and fundamentalist elements like you.
You are going to be having your hands full in future by dealing with these new
Hindu organisations which are more vibrant.
By demanding a ban on RSS, a
nationalist NGO, on the basis of baseless and motivated press reports, you are
trying to spread communal venom. You have proved that you are no better than a
fundamentalist Moulvi who does not think that a world exists outside Islam too.
You talk about demolishing the
‘legitimate secular edifice’. You cannot fool Hindus by calling you ‘secular’. A
Muslim can never be secular. The word ‘secular Muslim’ is a misnomer. A person
can be either secular or Muslim. He cannot be both. The moment a Muslim says
that he is secular, he ceases to be a Muslim and vice versa.
Hence, as long as Hindus are a
majority, India will remain secular - even if it becomes a Hindu Nation - the
foundation stone for which will be laid by May 2014, probably with the support
of many nationalist Muslims!
You need not worry. In a Hindu
Nation (unlike Islamic nations), there will be no discrimination on the basis of
religion and all citizens irrespective of their religious affiliations (again
unlike Islamic nations) will have equal rights and duties.
Before I end, I would like to say
that some Muslim scholars have utilised the forum of Hindu Voice, to express
their views on ‘Burqua’, ‘Suifism’ and ‘women circumcision’. A Hindu can never
be a fanatic or a terrorist, you see.
Thank you.P. DeivamuthuEditor, Hindu Voice.

Press Release
Hindutva terror—Mushawarat writes to Home Minister demanding probe
Mushawarat President, Dr Zafarul-Islam
Khan, has written to the Union Home Minister asking him why organisations under
his direct control are going slow on Hindutva terror? Many new revelations are
made by the prime accused Swami Aseemanand in his latest interview with the
Caravan magazine. These demand a rigorous probe of the Hindutva terror right to
the top of the RSS leadership. Following is the text of the letter:
5 February, 2014
Shri Sushil Kumar Shinde
Hon’ble Home Minister of India
New Delhi 110001
Dear Sushil Kumar Shindeji,
I hope
you had time to read “The Believer” report in the current
issue of Caravan magazine which is on the news-stands now. Based on four
interviews with Swami Aseemanand, a prime accused in Hindutva terror cases, this report
makes abundantly clear that the umpteen terror attacks across the country
including Samjhauta, Ajmer and Makkah Masjid, were not the handiwork of a small
group. Rather, the whole RSS organisation including its current supremo Mohan
Bhagwat and top leader Indresh Kumar blessed, planned, financed and protected
the saffron terrorists. It is also clear that Aseemanand is not remorseful in
the least about what he and his group of terrorists did as says that there is no
point of being sorry about them and that these acts will continue.
It is a painful reality that the security and probe organisations under your direct control have failed to properly probe the saffron terror attacks which were passed off as handiwork of Muslim boys. The organisations under your direct control are yet to even interrogate Mohan Bhagwat and Indresh Kumar. This should have been done long ago as Malegaon 2008 and Ajmer blast chargesheets are clear about these and other RSS leaders’ role in planning and financing those blasts.
This is a fit case to outlaw RSS as it has been flagrantly violating the undertaking it gave in 1949 to get the ban lifted on its activities (which was imposed after the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi by its members in 1948) that it will remain a social organisation and it will shun political activity. Now it is clear that not only it indulges in divisive political activity through its proxy (BJP), it also clearly indulges in high treason by planning, financing and abetting terror activities aimed at dismantling the secular and constitutional system of our country.
Mr Shinde, you and your UPA government will be responsible to the nation and to history if you fail in your constitutional duty to punish the real perpetrators of terror in India as this activity is not a simple crime but high treason since it involves a plan to illegally demolish the legitimate secular edifice of our polity.
Yours sincerely
Dr Zafarul-Islam Khan
