I belong to a minority community and the reading
of the so called Prevention of communal and targeted violence bill was shocking
to say the least. I have touched only on one aspect-namely the 'Group' and
'the others' The proposed Prevention of Communal and Targeted Violence Bill
2011 seems to be drafted by Nazi mentality persons who are hell bend on communalizing
the nation and ultimately destroying this country. It is just not senseless
but drafted with malice intention and purport. The very terminology is misleading
because this is no Prevention of communalism but arousing and abetting communalism.
Again why the term 'Targeted Violence'? It should have been simply violence.
It starts thus with assumptions and presumptions that violence is targeted
which means violence is directed against specific targets (read here Muslims)
this assumes that the perpetrators are non Muslims. It is flawed right from
the caption and the minds that sat down to scribble-not draft this Bill had
preconceived notions and a hidden agenda which found its expression in the
so called bill.
First I would like to question the authority
of the NAC to draft such a bill. Why an extra constitutional body should be
engaged in this task. Do we not have ministers-the cabinet and government
advisors to the Prime Minister-Group of empowered ministers to take up the
task. All these are paid by the common people's tax money and apart from these
a super body with handpicked anti-Modi, anti Hindu persons to form the NAC
with an Italian heading it to abet the disintegration of this nation. This
cannot go and it will be relevant if Baba Ramdev and Anna team joins together
to throw this bill into the dustbin of history. This is their obligatory duty
because corruption is one but the survival of the country as a nation comes
first. This so called bill cannot go even if redrafted because from A to Z
it is flawed. It is seditious and treason.
A blatant and arbitrary division of the Indian
people into 'group' and 'others' is made by the drafters of the Bill, which
reveals the mal-intent. It goes beyond mere appeasement of the Muslims but
aims at disintegration of the country. The drafters have given the Muslims
and the religious Minorities a free run of violence including rape which is
a crime but they have the license to commit these and go scot free. The same
criminality and violence committed by a Hindu calls for stringent punishment
but if committed by the Muslims escape the law (this is worse than the jungle
law).This because the Muslims and the Minorities are the 'group' and the Hindus
are 'the others' ungrouped. The people thus are grouped into two-the victims-which
is 'the group' and the perpetrators which are 'the others.' No country in
the world except the Nazis had this mind set when it came to the Jews. No
civilized country would accept such blatant miscarriage of law and justice.
The Congress had right from the beginning been sowing divisive politics in
the country- on the basis of region, religion, caste and language. Now it
is emboldened to reveal its devilry. Just two camps of people in the country-the
victims and the perpetrators. So even before the violence the NAC has envisaged
violence and that is directed against the Muslims and Minorities. Indian history
does not vouch to this assumption. The drafters of the Bill presume that riots
and violence are perpetrated by 'the others' (read Hindus)This is not true
and not the reality. 'According to Ms Zenab Banu's 'Politics of communalism:
a politico-historical analysis of communal riots in post independence India
with special reference to the Gujarat and Rajasthan riots" (1989), there
have been 74 communal riots between 1953 and 1977 of which 75 percent were
instigated by Muslims' Even today 98 percent of terrorism cross borderand
/or Indian born is planned, instigated and perpetrated by Muslims.Only Islam
has the Jihad and hence Jehadis. Yet PC could coolly make a reference to 'saffron'
terror. This clearly indicates the mindset of the Congress.
The Communal Violence Bill is based on hate
philosophy but even in this it is skewed. There have been riots in which Hindus
were victims and Indian history stands testimony to the atrocities against
Hindus, by the Muslim invaders-the destruction of temples and the desecration
of Hindu gods and goddesses. In recent time the fate of the Kashmiri pundits
will vouch for this. The Hindus have been massacred, their homes have been
burned and they have been driven out of the Valley. Till date no justice has
been done. Is this because they belong to the 'others'?
Violence is violence and criminality is criminality
it cannot change because of the victim and the perpetrator. These must to
be snuffed out and the same penal code must address these crimes. The same
laws must be applicable to the citizens of India. This is their Right. The
proposed Bill violates the Constitution with immunity not only on Federalism
but on Fundamental Rights. How can a Parliament even look at it and waste
its time. I shudder to think that the NAC have people sitting in it with such
a mindset. And are to pay for them by out tax money? To make this feasible
the NAC is proposing to bring out two penal codes-one for the Hindus and the
other for the religious minorities. It would be better then to say that the
religious minorities do not come under any penal code-they can run amuck commit
crimes and indulge in violence .They will not be apprehended. If a nation
divides its people on the basis of two sets of penal code; next it will seek
two flags for the country-one for the group and the other for the Hindus.
So a nation quietly and ingeniously divided into two. Do we need geographical
partition? And in this divide which flag will the NAC hold? What about the
national anthem? Which flag will be unfurled on the Independence Day? It is
simply beyond my comprehension that the NAC could draft such an atrocious
bill aimed at dividing the nation and get away with it. They must be charged
for treason.
Let us hypothetically envisage that this Prevention
of Communal and Targeted Violence Bill is passed and becomes a Bill. Then
posthumously Rajiv Gandhi must be tried and sentenced. The Congress leaders-Jagdish
Tytler ,Sajjan Kumar must be put on trial-the Congress government which was
in power at the Centre with all those officers then in service must be tried
and punished because they failed to prevent the butchering of the Sikhs, the
arson and the rapes The Congress party must be banned. The history of this
country does not start with the NAC and end with NAC. One should have a sense
of history and thus the same Bill drafted by the NAC will be first directed
against the Congress party headed by Mrs Sonia Gandhi. It will end the NAC
and will throw the Congress party out of the relevance of Indian history.
What you sow you reap.
