All the battered Hindus of India should rally
behind Mohan Bhagwat Ji who has heroically spoken against Communist State-sponsored
Hindu Genocide in Kannur District and many other parts of Kerala today. According
to RSS estimates, 125 of its members have lost their lives and more than 800
have been badly injured by CPI (M) cadre in the past few years. He has made
it clear to the CPI (M) cadres in Kerala that the RSS would not remain quiet
and silent when RSS Swayamsevaks and other Hindu volunteers get slaughtered
or killed or maimed on a day-to-day basis in Kannur District in Kerala.
Hon"ble Justice V. Ramkumar of the Kerala
High Court covered himself with everlasting glory when he observed recently
during the course of his judicial review in the High Court: "The only
solution to end the violence in Kannur district seems to be a timely intervention
by the Union Government by deploying sufficient forces that will not yield
to the political or plutocratic clout by those in powers and out of power..I
hope there would be a gubernatorial move to apprise the Central Government
of the urgent need for a permanent prophylactic action to curb further bloodshed
and killings in Kannur District where manslaughter is a competing sport".
Hon"ble Justice V. Ramkumar made these
observations while ordering an investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation
into the murder of Muhammed Fasal, a National Development Front (NDF) worker
in Thalassery. The petitioner, Mariyu, alleged that her husband was murdered
by Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) activists because he had defected
to the NDF from the party.
The Kerala High Court said that there had
not been any intelligent investigation into the case. The Court observed that
"all-party peace missions are nothing but a hoax to hoodwink the fickle-minded
public." Past lessons only showed that restoration of peace and harmony
was only "an evanescent episode invariably followed by a history of repeated
violence and vindictive vandalism." No serious concern appears to have
been shown to this manmade holocaust in which the breadwinners of several
families had been "slain to death, driving the widows and children literally
to the streets. Kannur District, particularly Thalassery, has, over the years,
become the hotbed of political violence and carnage of the worst order. All
political parties there seem to freely indulge in the cult of violence."
It is a well known to public that the large
scale killing of Hindu Office Bearers and Members belonging to the BJP, RSS,
Vishuva Hindu Parishad (VHP) and other Hindu outfits in Kerala is being carefully
directed by the CPI members and activists. They seem to think that they can
put Stalin"s record of planned purges in Russia in the 1920s, 1930s and
above all Mao Tse Tung"s massive programme of guided Genocide in China
in the 1950s and 1960s to everlasting shame. Let them take note of the fact
that the Hindus of India are not going to take this lying down and that they
are going to give it back, in the manner and measure required, not only in
Council Chambers but also on the streets of India proving Newton"s Law
of Motion - every action will produce an equal reaction fundamentally right
and valid in the very immediate future. The political terrorists of the CPI
(M) should not forget the fact that West Bengal and Tripura in the East and
Kerala in the West cannot exhaust the whole of India.
The RSS work in Kannur District was started
in 1943 and continued peacefully for more than 25 years. Many CPI (M) workers
were attracted to the RSS work and joined in large numbers. However, unable
to tolerate its growing strength the CPI (M) resorted to murder politics ever
since 1969. Sri Ramakrishnan, a daily wage earner and the Mukhyashikshak of
Thalassery (Vadikkal) who faced the Communist terrorism courageously and started
several Shakas in and around Thalassery, became their first victim and was
brutally killed in 1969. Mr. Pinarayi Vijayan, present State Secretary of
CPM who hails from this district, was one of the main accused in that murder
case. The present Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan, who also hails from
this district, was an accused in the murder of another Swayamsevak Sri Karimbil
Satheesan.
Kodiyeri Balakrishnan of the CPI (M), who
represents Thalassery in the Assembly, is the Taliban Home Minister, and this
known political clout has given the Marxist goons virtual immunity from police
action. The current season of blood-letting began soon after the State Conference
of the CPI (M) in Kottayam. Senior Police Officers considered unsympathetic
to the Marxist cause of Hindu Genocide were transferred out of Kannur and
their places filled by pliable officers. Chief Minister Achuthanandan"s
writ does not seem to run in the police administration as Balakrishnan enjoys
the patronage of the powerful State Secretary of the CPI (M), Pinarayi Vijayan.
Marxist goons wielding sickles used for agricultural operations find it handy
to hack RSS workers.
Against this known background, I was amused
to see recent comment of Sonia Gandhi "We need no BJP Certificate on
handling of terrorism"
Outraged by Communist State-sponsored Hindu
Genocide in Kannur District in Kerala, BJP and RSS cadres of New Delhi recently
attacked the CPI (M) headquarters Office in New Delhi. Perhaps, for the first
time in post-independent India, a quiver of much needed public-spirited strong
response bordering on political terror from the point of view of maximum public
welfare of the maximum number, was felt in the Office of the CPI (M) Politburo
in New Delhi. It is reliably understood that this response from the RSS and
BJP shook up the top echelons of the CPI (M) in the Capital.
Shri L K Advani leader of the opposition,
Lok Sabha has sought immediate intervention by the centre to put an end to
the unabated violence unleashed by CPM storm troopers against the BJP / RSS
workers in Kerala. Shri Advani has taken up the issue with the Union Home
Minister, Shri. Shivraj Patil.
There is a continuing Marxist reign of terror
in Kannur District in Kerala where the CPI (M) cadres trained to loot, rob
and murder the RSS, BJP and other volunteers belonging to different Hindu
organisations like the VHP are having a field day. I am giving below some
recent instances of Hindu Genocide by CPI (M) cadres:
* 3rd Nov., 2007 - Sherin was attacked at
Tellicherry. Suffered grievous injuries on his hands and legs.
* 4th Nov. 2007 - Biju and Jithu were attacked
at Tellicherry. Biju has become partially invalid as his legs have become
immobile. Due to the injury on his head he is still in hospital. His three
fingures of the hand and one of the leg was cut off.
* 5th Nov. 2007 - Shaji, a three wheeler driver
was attacked. He has lost his capacity to speak.
* 15th Dec 2007 - Lajeesh, a Mandal Karyvah
was attacked and injured in Tellicherry
* 15th Feb 2008 - Ramesh Babu was attacked
in Tellicherry. He has injuries on his neck.
* 29th Feb 2008 - Shijith and Satish were
attacked in Tellicherry
Such violent incidents have taken place in
some other parts of Kerala State as well. On 14th Feb 2008, the house of Shri
Sivan, in Alleppey was set fire at midnight with the aim of burning the entire
family alive. On 28th Feb 2008, Shri Sanoop, ABVP worker and College Union
Chairman of SriKrishna College, Guruvayur was attacked in the college when
he was attending the examination. He lost his eye in the attack. Incidentally,
this is a College where the SFI doesn"t allow any body else to file nomination.
This year only one candidate filed the nomination and he was elected!
The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) at the
highest level, after carefully deliberating upon the organized Hindu Genocide
that is being let loose by CPI (M) in Kannur District in Kerala, has condemned
the Kerala Government for its failure to protect the lives and property of
Hindus in Kerala. Shri Mohanrao Bhagwat, Sarkaryavah of the RSS, has issued
the following statement on the ongoing violence in Kannur District in Kerala:
"Five RSS activists have been killed and scores grievously injured in
renewed attacks by the CPM cadres since 5 March 2008 in the North Kerala district
of Kannur. Houses of more than 40 Swayamsevaks have been destroyed in this
violence.
"It is claimed that the Communist Party
of Kerala was formed in Pinarayi in Kannur district and the Party considers
this district as its bastion. The RSS work was started in 1943 in this district
and continued peacefully for more than 25 years. Many CPM workers were attracted
to the RSS work and joined in large numbers. However, unable to tolerate its
growing strength the CPM resorted to murder politics since 1969. Sri Ramakrishnan,
a daily wage earner and the Mukhyashikshak of Thalassery (Vadikkal) who faced
the Communist terrorism courageously and started several Shakas in and around
Thalassery, became their first victim and was brutally killed in 1969. Mr.
Pinarayi Vijayan, present State Secretary of CPM who hails from this District,
was one of the main accused in that murder case. The present Home Minister
Kodiyeri Balakrishnan, who also hails from this District, was an accused in
the murder of another Swayamsevak Sri Karimbil Satheesan.
"So far more than 60 Swayamsevaks have
been killed by the CPM in this district alone. Even aged women were also not
spared. On May 22, 2002 Smt. Ammu Amma (72 years) was killed in a bomb attack
by CPI (M) workers while she was returning in a jeep after attending the funeral
of a Swayamsevak Sri Uthaman, who was killed in the CPI (M) attack the previous
day.
Peace Efforts
"The RSS had all along welcomed and supported all peace efforts. In order
to avoid further violence, the founder of the BMS, Sri Dattopant Thengidi
and Sri P. Parameswaran, the Director of Deendayal Research Institute, Delhi
had discussions with Communist stalwarts like EMS Namboodripad and Ramamurthy
in Delhi. The leaders of the RSS and the CPM had similar discussions in Kerala
too. But before the ink on the peace declaration dried up, there were unprovoked
attacks on RSS cadres. Committed to maintaining peace the RSS had agreed to
sit with the CPI (M) leaders again and sign a document for peace in 1999 at
the initiative of the highly respected Justice V.R. Krishna Iyer and the then
Chief Minister E.K. Nayanar. However, just two days after this initiative,
the CPI (M) cadres again attacked the State Vice President of BJYM Sri Jayakrishnan
Master and murdered him in a most gruesome manner in front of small children
in his class room. Peace conferences became totally ineffective with no positive
result whatsoever.
"But for several years, despite serious
provocation the RSS stuck to its commitment of maintaining peace and never
retaliated. However it resulted in losing a number of good activists only
while the CPI (M) became more brutal. Whenever they are in power in the State,
their brutality crosses all limits with the help of obliging Government machinery.
"The latest killing spree that started
in March claimed the lives of 5 Swayamsevaks so far. On March 5 (Sivarathri
day) Sri Sumesh, Thalassery Taluk Sharirik Shikshan Pramukh was attacked near
Thalassery town. He lost his left hand and is still in Intensive Care Unit.
Sri Sumesh always used to represent Sangh in the peace conferences. On the
same day a Swayamsevak Nikhil (22), a lorry driver and the sole bread winner
of a poor family was killed.
Another Swayamsevak, Sri Sathyan, a mason,
was virtually dragged away from his work place and beheaded. His headless
body was thrown by the wayside near his house. On the very next day i.e. on
March 6, 2008 Sri Mahesh of Kuthuparamba was hacked to death. His head was
also severed off. Again on the next day i.e. March 7, 2008 Sri Suresh Babu
of Kodiyeri and Sri K.V.Surendran (65) of Illathuthazha were brutally assassinated.
Thus within 3 days 5 young lives belonging to the working class were taken
away. More than a dozen youths have been maimed and become handicapped.
"Honest Police officers were never tolerated.
On Jan 12, 2008, one CPM worker Sri Dhanesh was killed by some unknown miscreants.
The CPI (M) accused the RSS, but the Deputy Superintendent of Police in charge
of the investigation Sri Habeeb Rahman categorically stated that RSS was not
at all involved in this murder. Immediately afterwards that upright officer
was transferred from the District. On January 26, 2008, one notorious criminal
Jijesh was killed. His nickname "Veerappan" itself reveals his nature.
Again CPM blamed Sangh. In both the cases the RSS District leadership had
promptly rebutted the charges in press conferences. Deputy Superintendent
of Police Sri Manoj Abraham after investigation stated that NDF (a Muslim
extremist organization) was involved in it and RSS was innocent. Again that
no-nonsense officer was also transferred summarily.
"There is a virtual ban on Sangh shakhas
by the CPI (M) in the areas of their dominance in Kannur. The basic right
to conduct organization work is being denied not only to the RSS but to all
other political parties including Congress and CPI. Examples are so many.
"The shakha at Engayilpeedika at Kodiyeri,
the home-town of State Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan, was attacked and
disallowed to function by Kodiyeri Balakrishnan"s nephew and his henchmen
8 years ago. Since then repeated attempts to restart the shakha there have
been foiled by the CPI (M) cadres. The CPI (M) is also enforcing a code of
a kind of Section 144 - applicable to Swayamsevaks in that village. If they
want to live there they should not meet or even sit together. They should
walk around or travel alone. They should not be seen in public when the Home
Minister visits the area. The fate of the shakha at Kodiyeri is not an isolated
one. There are up to 50 places in Kannur where the Sangh is not allowed to
hold shakhas. Any attempt to "violate" this ban would be met with
brutal force.
"Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee President
Ramesh Chennitahla during the last elections had brought out a report in which
he cited that in 265 booths in Kannur District no party agent except that
of the CPI (M) was allowed to sit.
"It is noteworthy that the judiciary
has, on several occasions, reprimanded the State Police for not preventing
such human rights abuses by the CPI (M) cadres in Kannur. Particularly scathing
were the observations of the High Court a couple of days ago, which openly
said that only the presence of Central Forces can restore normalcy in the
region.
"It is to highlight these acts of Stalinism
and fascism of the CPI (M) that some members of the RSS and other organisations
including a large number of women spontaneously marched in a peaceful manner
to the CPI (M) Head Quarters in Delhi. Betraying their Nandigram-style intolerance
the CPI (M) cadres repeated what they have been doing in Kannur - attacked
the peaceful demonstrators with brickbats and chairs - resulting in unfortunate
violence on the Delhi streets.
"I appeal to all the right-thinking and
peace-loving citizens of the country to raise their voice against this fascist
and Stalinist face of the CPI (M) in the larger interest of our democracy
and freedom. I call upon the RSS Swayamsevaks all over the country to stand
by our Swayamsevak brethren who have become victims of the brutalities of
the CPI (M) and expose the true nature and face of it which has no place in
a country with such a hoary tradition of tolerance and pluralistic ethic.
"As far as the RSS in Kerala is concerned,
it would zealously guard its Constitutional right of freedom of expression,
association and propagation."
I am of the view that the ambushed Hindus
of Kerala have to learn to unite in order to wage a political war against
the monstrous tyranny of CPI (M) Hindu Genocide, never surpassed in the dark
and lamentable catalogue of known Communist Crimes.
Crime Survey Statistics clearly indicate that Kerala is witnessing an unprecedented
rise in the rates of crime and violence during the last three or four years.
We have a Home Minister in Kerala called Kodiyeri Balakrishnan with criminal
antecedents who was once accused of the murder of a Swayamsevak from the RSS.
Likewise Kerala CPI (M) General Secretary
Pinarayi Vijayan has a similar record of political crimes let loose against
the RSS, VHP and other Hindu outfits. There is no doubt whatsoever that these
two political leader Islamic groups in Kerala State in general and Kannur
District in particular. Anyone can see that there is a steadily rising upward
trend in major categories of CPI (M) State-sponsored crime like rape, armed
dacoity, robbery, aggravated assault, larceny, homicide, kidnapping, drug
trafficking and contract murders.
What is most disturbing to note is that there
is an increasing incidence of politically motivated murder, violent crime
and terrorist bombing. Another important point to be noted is that the actual
incidence of crime against women and children is higher than the number of
recorded crimes reported to the police.
Further there is continued and extended political
patronage of the CPI (M) and its allies in the Government to black money launderers,
illegal drug traffickers, flesh traders and explosive marketers. Drunken and
often violent hooliganism has become a standard feature of night life in most
towns and cities.
Dr Babu Suseelan rightly concludes: "There
is a standard black market in Kerala for illegal drugs, illicit liquor, explosives
and counterfeit money. Criminal gangs and loan sharks prowl the streets and
they settle disputes with violence, kidnapping and murder."
What has brought about this massive, ugly,
and ever-expanding phenomenon of increasing criminalization? The ruthless
process of uncontrolled forces let loose by the domain of globalization has
fundamentally altered and transformed the context in which criminal organisations,
mostly from the Middle-East launder money into Kerala. Anyone can see that
organized criminal gangs fully backed and financed by Pakistan ISI and smugglers
from the Middle-East, illicit money launderers and Jihadis have multiplied
their wealth and power in Kerala under the political hegemony and open patronage
of the ruling CPI (M), Congress, and the Muslim League.
What is even most disturbing is that more
and more Hindu activists belonging to the RSS and the VHP are getting killed
by CPI (M) activists almost everyday operating in continuous criminal collusion
with Islamic fanatics belonging to different Muslim political outfits, particularly
in Kannur. Murdering and beheading of several innocent Hindus and Hindu activists
has become a daily feature during the last two months.
A few years ago, the Government of Kerala
ordered a judicial enquiry by Justice Thomas P Joseph, District and Sessions
Judge in Calicut to enquire into the Islamic acts of terrorism in Malapuram
District. Much to the discomfiture of major political parties in the State,
the Joseph Commission, which was set up to inquire into the circumstances
that led to the second Marad killings in May 2003, turned the spotlight on
the facts and circumstances of the 2002 killings. The report emphasized what
political Kerala already knew very well but had tried to ignore-the fact that
the Marad killings in January 2002 were the result of continued alliance of
political interests and other vested Islamic interests in the State.
The Joseph Commission concluded that the delay
in filing charge-sheets in that case was subsequently utilized by "Muslim
fundamentalists, terrorists and other forces" to capitalize on the grievance
of relatives of three Muslims killed and to use it as a cause for vengeance
against Hindus of Marad as a whole. Justice Thomas P. Joseph said "The
inquiry by the State Crime Branch CID (CB-CID) into the May 2003 incident
had failed to unravel the "larger conspiracy" and the sources of
the large cache of arms and ammunition unearthed subsequently in the area
and of the sizable funds used in the planning and execution of the murders."
The Joseph Commission"s main recommendation,
was a further inquiry, involving the Intelligence Bureau (IB), the Central
Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence
(DRI) into the "larger conspiracy" involving fundamentalist and
other forces, and into the source of the explosives and funds that the CB-CID
"failed or refused" to investigate-an act that the commission described
as "quite suspicious and disturbing." Finally the Joseph Commission
said "There is an urgent and imperative public need to inquire into the
involvement of Inter-State Muslim terrorist groups and the involvement of
foreign terrorist agencies like the ISI."
To summarize in the words of Dr Babu Suseelan
once again: "This increased criminal activity in Kerala is based on a
continuing symbiotic relationship between criminal gangs, government agencies
and politicians. Their ability to bribe and corrupt political leaders, law
enforcement agencies and media persons is enormous. Crime syndicates operating
in Kerala have established safe heavens in Dubai and Karachi where the governments
are hostile to the Indian democratic State."
Against this background, let me now get back
to the current ongoing CPI (M) reign of terror in Kannur. The RSS leaders
in Kerala have sent a detailed memorandum to Kerala Governor giving details
about the Government- sponsored rule of terror happening in Kannur and requested
him to intervene immediately to ensure the impartial enforcement of Law and
Order which has been completely derailed on account of the completely biased,
prejudiced and partial functioning of Kerala Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan.
CPI (M) Government in Kerala is now discarding
its aetheism to woo the Muslim voters of Kerala. For the first time, the CPI
(M) unit in Kochi allowed its Muslim members to leave a Party Meeting for
namooz. Recently, the Lanthaparambu Branch Committee of the CPI (M) Party
also served refreshments to its Muslim members to break their Ramzan fast.
With Christians turning against the CPI (M) in the wake of the LDF Government"s
attempts to take control of convent schools and colleges the party is assiduously
wooing the Muslim community.
As a practicing Hindu, I am shocked beyond
words to note that the Marxist Government in Kerala has made a recommendation
to the Supreme Court of India to permanently alter the Sabarimala Temple"s
traditional practices, women"s dress code and temple rituals. These concepts
and policies are straight out of the Communist Manifesto wrapped in the rhetoric
of women"s rights and equality and freedom. Couched under the phrases
"for the common good", "feminist empowerment" and "freedom
for women", Marxists are trying to erase our spiritual practices, ethics
and family values by persuading women in the name of liberty and empowerment
to abandon traditional culture.
To quote the brilliant words of Babu Suseelan
in this context: "Marxists and their cohorts are relatively clear what
they want to achieve in India. They want the destruction of Hindu civilization
and establishment of a proletariat Marxist State. For the last seventy five
years, Marxists are working hard to realize their misguided and dangerous
goals through positive sounding slogans such as "inclusion", "human
rights", "feminist empowerment", "classless society",
and "women"s rights". With these positive sounding words, Marxists
call for the destruction, in every possible way to deconstruct Hindu thoughts
and to bring down the Hindu culture."
Lenin, Stalin and their successors tried to
destroy traditional Christian culture and values in Russia from 1920 to 1980
and failed miserably. Today the Russian Orthodox Church is back again in full
force, not only in Russia but in the whole of Soviet Bloc. I have not doubt
but the Hindus of India will unite and show their strength.
