Let's not ignore people's miseries
Following the terrorist attack on army vehicle in Pulwama that left our soldiers dead, the internal atmosphere of the country has changed so much. No one is speaking about the failures or corruption of the Modi government any more. Having sensed this hunger for war, even Modi is saying the fire is raging high in his heart too. Everyone is basically raging on something or the other, but the homes of those who lost their beloved in this attack are mourning their loss.
This appetite for war has literally set aside the concerns and problems of people on a daily basis. No one is speaking about the failures of the last four and half years. Demonetisation fiasco, people queuing up before banks, innocent people who died in the queues, murders in the name of cow protection, inflation, unemployment, corruption, such raging issues are not points of discussion any more. Everywhere there is an atmosphere of war mongering. In the next three months the ruling party is all set to take the country into another election.
PM is all enthused after this incident. Common people affected by inflation and bad economic situation are being called anti nationals if they speak about the issues they are facing. Attacks have become on artists writers thinkers and rationalists who were vocal about their objection to Modi and Sangh Parivar. Modi bhakts have shouted slogans against actor Prakash Rao who visited the home of martyred soldier from Mandya to donate Rs 5 Lakh to his family. This incident has helped cover up the biggest defence scandal of Rafael agreement. Modi government has not stopped it's vengeful politics. All the ads that were being given to The Hindu paper from central government have been stopped owing to the fact that the paper published some crucial details regarding Rafael scandal.
the last four and a half years of administration by Modi government is completely detrimental to common people. Having described the Parliament as a temple of democracy in 2014, Modi continue to ignore it ever after. Budget was presented without any discussion this year. Democratic institutions have been compromised with at a large extent. One on one hand thousands of farmers were committing suicide over background and on the other thousands lakhs of loans of corporates were being waived off. None of these merit a discussion anymore. The CAG report on Rafale deal is out now. This was presented in the parliament on the last day of 16th Lok Sabha session. Obviously it was not taken up for discussion for lack of time. This report seems to be conducive to the ruling party and does not have answers for many questions that have been raised by various people.
The contract partnership given to Anil Ambani apart from various controversies surrounding the Rafale deal have made it look suspicious. Let nobody will ever discuss these details. The whole Nation has condemned the act of terrorism in Kashmir in solidarity. People's problems and concerns should not be set aside owing to this single act. this should not be used to cover up the failures and lacunae of the government administration. More tragedies will take place when the government itself talks about war and people will never be able to achieve peace in the society.
The mask Pakistan wears should be removed for the whole world to see. But we should not view all Pakistan is as enemies based upon the fact that only some people and political leadership have inflicted terrorism. we must hold Pakistan accountable and engage in peace talks as it happened during the term when Atal Bihari Vajpayee was the prime minister. This should be treated as the lone and sane option for India.
But the ruling dispensation does not seem interested in peace talks. Everybody is talking about instigating the general public and political atmosphere. a certain BJP leader Sadhvi Prachi has called upon prime Minister Modi to repeat the Godhra model of retaliation. In a way she has indicated that Godhra was stage managed by Modi. About 31% people have given the responsibility of taking the country on the path to progress to BJP. But the party is not managing its duties well. Utterances of supporting and starting a war are flying around aplenty. This does not befit the image of India.

Karnataka's Bill against Hate Speeches conspiracy against Hindutva activists: Pramod Muthalik
Davanagere: Sri Rama Sene national president Pramod Muthalik has accused the state government of using the proposed Hate Speech and Hate Crimes (Prevention) Bill to target Hindus and to suppress Hindutva organisations and their leaders.
Speaking at a press conference on Saturday, Muthalik said the Sene opposes the Bill. According to him, the government is bringing this legislation only to appease Muslim voters while selectively targeting Hindu voices.
He questioned whether it is wrong to speak against cow slaughter when the ban is already in force but violations still occur in many places. “Is it wrong to raise awareness among Hindus about love jihad? Is it wrong to oppose illegal construction of churches, mosques or encroachments on cremation grounds? Is objecting to religious conversions wrong?” he asked.
Muthalik alleged that the Bill attempts to silence anyone who questions or protests such issues. He said the move goes against the spirit of the Constitution framed by Dr B.R. Ambedkar and is aimed at weakening the Hindu community.
He urged BJP and JD(S) MLAs to strongly oppose the Bill in the upcoming session and ensure it does not get passed. The organisation will submit memorandums to all legislators and mount pressure, he added.
During the press meet, Muthalik tore copies of the Bill in protest. Leaders of Sri Rama Sene including Parashuram Nadavinamani, Yashavanth, Sridhar and Madhu were present.
