According to the constitution of India, ‘the State shall not discriminate against any citizen on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex, place of birth or any of them’.
On 26th May 2014 PM Modi took the following oath “ I,…..swear in the name of God/solemnly affirm that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of India as by law established, that I will uphold the sovereignty and integrity of India, that I will faithfully and conscientiously discharge my duties as Prime Minister for the Union and that I will do right to all manner of people in accordance with the Constitution and the law, without fear or favour, affection or ill-will”. This oath he took in the presence of the President when nation gave him mandate to rule this great country thriving with plurality of culture.
But the pillar of plurality seems to be crumbling under the present regime headed by Mr Modi who looks out to impose his Hindutva ideology clearly mocking the Constitution of India.
Mr Modi recently addressed Dalits as ‘brothers’ and strongly addressed those harassing Dalits by saying that ‘if you have to shoot, shoot me, but don’t shoot my Dalit brothers.’ Mr. Modi’s speech came in the wake of a Dalit family being flogged at Una in Gujarat by ‘Gau Rakshak’.
However when more virulent attacks take place in name of cow protection on Muslims who are as much the citizens of India Mr. Modi lends deaf ears .He chooses to not even express concern let alone take actions.
He could have said “Dalit and Muslim brothers.” But he didn’t.
The world knows that the statement on Dalits by Mr. Modi had political connotations rather than any heartfelt concern, as crucial UP assembly election is round the corner. With this statement he was aiming to kill two birds with one stone. For one he was attempting to preserve Dalit votes and secondly he was attempting to prevent Dalit Muslim unity from fostering.
Modi’s silence on lynching of Mohammad Akhlaq in Dadri, on the hanging of two Muslims in Jharkhand, on the assault of two Muslim women in Madhya Pradesh by so called ‘Cow Protectors’ and also his silence on unrest in Kashmir, on blinding of India’s own population by its security forces and on attacks of minority’s places of worship lead even an average person to conclude that all the brunt is borne by Muslims. Muslims are not BJP voters and every now and then people of his party call for Muslim ‘mukt’ India as they do not fit in the design of Hindu rashtra which is a long cherished dream of RSS.
In fact Modi’s dislike for Muslims is not new. In Dec 2012, while campaigning for Gujarat Assembly election, he said that Congress is secretly planning to make Ahmad Patel the Chief Minister. He addressed Ahmad Patel as Ahmad “miyan” to emphasise his religion in a disdainful manner to the people of Gujarat and arouse fear that a Muslim may become the CM of Gujarat. At another occasion in 2002, he referred to the relief centre for Muslims as baby producing factories “hum paanch,hamare pachees”(we are five but we have twenty five) implying that Muslims are proliferating. And there is of course, the world infamous Godhra incident where Mr Modi’s role in the carnage is still debated.
Mr Modi hardly ever mentions Muslims for good or bad. He even skipped Iftaar party hosted by the President and Sonia Gandhi.
With his latest statement which exclusively condemned attacks on Dalits and left Muslims out in the cold, Mr. Modi has clearly demonstrated yet again that the Sanghis’ vision of India does not include Indian Muslims.
Rhetoric, hatred and violence against Muslims are therefore non issues for him.
As the Prime Minister of the country he should concern himself with the welfare of each and every citizen. But the callous attitude of PM Narendra Modi towards a large section of the Indian population makes one wonder if Mr Modi is really the PM of all the people of this great nation.
What a peculiar PM of this nation,now he shed tears for people of POK & BALUCHISTAN.Here in KASHMIR 100 of youths and children lost their eye sight by d army personal who used pellet gun.But his eyes r closed what happened in own country people but his eyes r opened largely about what happen in both parts which controlled by PAKISTAN.
IT IS REAL UGLY FACE OF AGANT BHARAT FORMULA OF RSS WHOHATRED WANT TO CREATE PROBLEMS IN SUB CONTINENT BY PROMOTING HATRED AGAINST THE RULER.
