SRINAGAR: Separatist and pro-India mainstream political groups have condemned the force-feeding of a Muslim employee by a Shiv Sena MP in Maharshtra. Condemning the force-feeding of a Muslim employee to break his Ramadan fast by a Shiv Sena MP, separatist leader Syed Ali Geelani said the new BJP government in India would encourage all the communal people to start anti-Muslim activities.
He said the force-feeding of a fasting Muslim is not an ordinary incident but it is the indication that the Hindutva and Hindu Rashtre will be thrust upon the Muslims of India, Whoever will oppose it, he will be either killed or forced to exile. Indian secularism was a hoax and merely a deception in the Congress regime but it was never seen on the ground. However, this country is now getting completely exposed and it is adopting the shape of a Hindu imperialist power and this fact is proved that the communal slogan like Bharat Main Agar Rehna Hain to Ram Ram Kehna Hain (if you want to live in India, then you have to accept the Hindu religion), is becoming the policy of India, Geelani said in a statement.
He said the starting of the Kousarnag and other yatras in Kashmir is also linked to this process, It is an attempt to make Hindutva the national religion of India. All the communal minded people of India are hell-bent upon to eliminate the identity of the minorities particularly Muslims and Kashmir is their main target, he said.
Geelani said such activities will not only be resisted in Kashmir but it will endanger the existence of India itself.
CPI-M State Secretary Muhammad Yousuf Tarigami has said the incident is most disgusting and warrants a stern action under law.
In a statement , Tarigami while condemning the incident said the episode had laid bare the nefarious designs of Sangh Parivar and its allies who believe in attacking religious faith of other communities.
People have a freedom to practice their religion and this episode of extreme intolerance involving Shiv Sena MP has exposed the rabid mentality of Sangh Parivar this is hell bent to bring shame to the countrys democratic and secular ethos, Tarigami observed. The CPI-M leader said that the incident has negated the constitutional guarantees thus extending a warning message loaded with dangerous consequences for the whole of country.
Tarigami remarked that incident as not only shocking but the same is cutting at the root of secularism. Through this abominable and ghastly act, the faith of minorities has been tarnished. The BJP government if true in its assertion that its government will go by constitution rather than RSS dictates should forthrightly condemn this disgraceful action of Shiv Sena MP and should act against him under law, he demanded.
