New Delhi : India will experience communal violence if the ruling party BJP stresses on Hindu nationalist themes ahead of the upcoming general elections slated for May warns American Intelligence report on Tuesday.
This comment on the upcoming general election in India is part of the US intelligence community’s assessment of worldwide threats in the year 2019.
The assessment was presented in the form of a written document to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence by Dan Coats, Director of National Intelligence.
“Parliamentary elections in India increase the possibility of communal violence if Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) stresses Hindu nationalist themes,” Coats told members of the US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
Coats made this assessment with the assistance of a few other prominent members, including CIA Director Gina Haspel, who has just returned from a trip to India, FBI Director Christopher Wray and Defense Intelligence Agency Director Robert Ashley.
“BJP policies during Modi’s first term have deepened communal tensions in some BJP-governed states, and Hindu nationalist state leaders might view a Hindu-nationalist campaign as a signal to incite low-level violence to animate their supporters,” Coats said in his written statement.
Keeping quiet for over 4.5 years since the take over by the RSS associates tacitly implicates the rest of the majority voters for the present scare of the Gujarat model. Why are some shedding crocodile tears now? The majority aimed for it, earned it, especially after the ‘coronation’ of Yogi in UP as CM.
