Mallikarjun Kharge says empowering Modi is empowering Sanatan Dharma

The Congress Leader of Party in Lok Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, admits that Hindus have been empowered since the advent of Modi government into the power at the Centre.

Speaking at an even Mallikarjun Kharge said that if Modi comes to power it would strengthen ‘Sanatan Dharma’.

Such a shocking statement is coming from that Congress party whose party President- Rahul Gandhi- is supposed to be a Januedhari Brahmin and a Shiv Bhakt. The statement made by Mallikarjun Kharge shows the incipient hatred that Congress party has for Hindu Dharma. It is no hidden secret that the Congress deliberately undermined Hindus and their priorities lied with appeasing Muslims at the cost of Hindus. It was during the ten year rule of Sonia Gandhi with Dr Manmohan Singh as a dummy Prime Minister, when the anti-Hindu stand of the Congress party got really nasty and stark. Dr Manmohan Singh’s statement before the 2009 General Elections that “minorities have the first right to the resources of India” was hailed as a secular statement. Why should the minorities have the first right? Why should all Indians not have equal rights? It was also during this ten year rule that saw terrorists like Ishrat Jahan being projected as martyrs, dreaded terrorist Osama Bin Laden respectfully addressed as Osama ji and radical Islamists like Zakir Naik given patronage among others.

However, the most despicable act committed by the Congress during UPA-2 was to create the myth of saffron terror for their dirty vote bank politics. The Samjhauta Express blasts that took place in 2007 left 68 people killed and many more injured.

The initial investigations pointed at radical Islamist terror organizations like Laskar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) as being the masterminds behind the attacks. However, the NIA under the UPA government made people believe that it was the members of Hindu organization Abhinav Bharat, who were behind this. Swamy Aseemanand was taken into custody and was made to confess that he was indeed the mastermind of this attack. Later, Swamy Aseemanand mentioned that he was physically and mentally pressurized to make that statement.

In June this year, Times Now reported that a Pakistani national Ajmat Ali, who was a suspect in this case, was discharged within 14 days. Times Now has now broken another chilling tape, wherein SIMI member Safdar Nagori confesses that it was SIMI that was behind these attacks. The chief target of their operation was BJP patriarch LK Advani.

Despite having this knowledge, why was the UPA government so keen on absolving Pakistan and their terror organizations? Why were they so desperate on planting the saffron terror theory?

One, this was a golden chance to defame the RSS (and thereby the BJP) of being a terrorist organization. The second objective was to win the heart of the Indian Muslims.

A similar thing happened earlier in 2006 during the Malegaon blasts, where initial indications were towards Islamist organizations and then suddenly, the blame was placed on Abhinav Bharat and Sadhvi Pragya was arrested. While there has been no proof against her, she was arrested and tortured by the Maharashtra ATS because the bomb was placed in a bike that she once owned.

Rahul Gandhi who is nowadays Janeudhari Pandit and Shiv Bhakt took the saffron terror theory outside India. Rahul Gandhi told US ambassador Timothy Roamer that radicalized Hindu groups pose a bigger threat to India as compared to radical Islamist Pakistani groups.

Rahul Gandhi went on to say that although there are evidences of some radical youth joining LeT, the number of youth joining radical Hindu organizations are more and hence this is a bigger threat to the country.

The Former Home Ministry officer, RVS Mani, in his explosive book titled ‘Hindu Terror:  Insider Account of Ministry of Home Affairs’ reveals how UPA government left no stone unturned to manufacture the narrative of Hindu Terror. In his 14 chapter book, bit by bit, he exposes how the Saffron Terror narrative was seeded.

According to Mani’s account, UPA compromised with the National security for the sake of vote bank politics. UPA era was marred with serial blasts and terrorist attacks, including the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks which shook the entire nation. The incident like 26/11 happened because the internal security officials were pressurized to mould the evidence to suit a political narrative. Mani writes that officers were under immense pressure as they had only two conflicting choices, either to save their job or protect their country. In his book, he states that narratives which were promoted between the periods of 2004 to 2013 had the capacity to tear apart the social fabric of India. He backs his claim by providing official records, evidence, examples and incidents. Some shreds of evidence are known to the public and have been also reported in the media and some are still unknown to the public.

In the Chapter titled “Seeding of Hindu terror”, he lays special emphasis on how UPA’s political leadership forced MHA officials to manufacture the fake narrative of Hindu Terror. In 2006, first seed of Hindu terror was sown. According to Mani, “At a time when we had the best team in the IS division, the attitude of the government in power and intent to cover every terror incident as ‘saffron’ and the ambivalence in acting against the real perpetrators of the terror attacks was making this country a cannon fodder for those with evil designs against India”. He recalls an incident when the then Home Minister called him into his office to share information about terrorist attacks. Two more people were also present there, Digvijay Singh and former Maharashtra IPS Hemant Karkare. As he began to share information about the terrorist, the other two members who were present in the office were ‘sad’ because the most number of terrorist attacks were carried out by the members of only one particular religion.

He has written about Mumbai 26/11 attacks in great length and also named IAS, IPS officers and many big politicians and their lax attitude. He supports his claims with evidence and examples. When the investigation after the attack started, it was found that intelligence had already provided several credible inputs about the plan to carry out a terrorist attack on Mumbai but Ministry of Home Affairs did not pay any heed to those inputs.

Mani has dedicated an entire chapter to P Chidambaram, and how he brought about a non-existent Hindu terror narrative into existence. According to him, NIA under P. Chidambaram, “overlooked the first set of evidence and replaced it with the evidence supporting the Hindu terror narrative.” He also claimed that NIA officers who were involved in the investigation of terror cases have off the record accepted that there is no evidence of any sort of Hindu Terror. Mani has made many other shocking revelations in his book. In one such instance, when P Chidambaram was Home Minister, political quarters were against giving any hardcore evidence against Dawood Ibrahim to the United Nations. At last, he has also raised questions over UPA’s claim of surgical strike carried out under its rule.

The Congress party no stone unturned to malign the Hindu religion and Hindus. Demonization of Hindus came to an only after the Modi government came to power. As Mallikarjun Kharge has grudgingly accepted that Hindus now feel safer and empowered under Modi government. On the other hand, in the manner Kharge made this remark demonstrates the utter contempt the Congress party leader in Lok Sabha has for the Hindu Dharma.
