The "Untouchable" BJP
As the elections are approaching fast, I see a clear tendency of media against BJP. Anything debatable is uttered by BJP gets immediate negative attention as if BJP/NDA is the greatest threat to this nation. It is to be remembered that when you talk about something negative it reflects the fear within your psycho. Talking negative about BJP will make this organisation more powerful because any publicity is a good publicity these days. Remember the journey from Jansangh to BJP which has been remarkable if not astonishing? A story of struggles of few of the individuals with a commitment; I think they themselves would have not realised what they were going to achieve. Today it is the second single largest party of the country. Not all came easily but something came from the source they would have never thought. Then print and later visual media who made sure that BJP must be defeated with all possible means. But the fact has been clear that, this kind of negative publicity by media worked in favour of BJP because it gave the strength BJP to go against all the odds. Till date. Period
Today singing secularism has become a fashion. Discussing in AC rooms of these media channel slamming BJP that how much damage has BJP done reflects the frustration of those people who can not stand for something called “majority rights”. When you are talking about the benefits and freedom of Muslims, Christians you are fine but when you touch a subject of rights of hindus, you are communal. Who will make them understand that being majority means not just behaving responsible and sacrifices but it means few rights too?
So what if BJP talks about Hindu rights? As a diehard Hindu, I understand the meaning of Hinduism. If I make to define this term Hinduism all I will say that every individual taking birth is a Hindu. He later converts as per his parents/ own faith.Which further means that Hinduism means equal opportunity for every faith. If they talk about Hinduism it is not the kind of talibnisation of this country it is not about bootlicking of a particular community no matter it is Muslims, Christians but remember country comes first.Hinduism can never become a danger to any society or group of people practicing other faith.On remark of Varun Gandhi when Jammu Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah said that “Such remarks by individual lik Varun Gandhi can not disturb the peace of our country it was not just for a secular india, it was equally applicable to Hindu community. Religion has never been a word in Hinduism it is just a way of life in which the individual has to decide what is right and hat is wrong. It can never go against the nation. Or had it been so all the Hindu organisations would have been active in killing of our own people happening like in Pakistan,Afghanistan,Iraq.
When NSA was imposed on Varun Gandhi by one of the most communal Mayawati, none responded despite knowing that this law has been not imposed even on the deadliest terrorists. Think this law is applicable to BJP only or Vaiko, Bafoon from Bihar lalu Yadav, one telagu leader also had been in by this time! These kind of acts helped BJP a lot.
If I am a supporter of BJP it is not because of Hindutava. It is about ideology. A clear vision, an urge to go beyond family politic and capacity to take the dicisions and stand for that.In past NDA has done so many wrong decisions including BJP no doubt in that but then behaving BJP like "untouchable" by media is strongly unjustified. Which single government has taken all the right decisions by the way?
