NO single religion has a lien on nut jobs. Even as Indians prove their maturity in going through the most massive democratic election in the history of the world there are some idiots who crawl out of the woodwork like ugly boll weevils and talk complete and absolute nonsense but it is dangerous.
The latest person to join this circus of fools is Vishwa Hindu Parishad’s leader Pravin Togadia. Pravin, like I am, is a Hindu. But we could not be further apart in our thinking and it scares me silly that he and I share the same religion. This brain dead man wants to create enclaves in Gujarat for Hindus and Muslims, so that one does not live with the other. And he says this openly. And no one stops him. To focus his hostility the man has targeted a Muslim middle class family that has just shifted into a colony in the town of Bhavnagar in what is largely a Hindu residential area. He has given them 48 hours to leave or else they will be forcibly ejected. Can you believe this cretinous statement? There has to be some law that gets man like this locked up. Talk about provoking rage where there is no need for it.
Not just that, this guy now wants to pass a law that Muslims cannot buy property in designated areas and also generously advises the public that if they are not for Modi, they should migrate to Pakistan. Why does he behave in this mad fashion? Let’s see.
He has been deliberately positioned to make inflammatory remarks to wreck Modi’s chances and spoil his name. He is unknown and wants to get media coverage and he is getting it by the shovelful.
He is being paid by a foreign hand since Indians love foreign hands. Most frighteningly he believes it is his duty to fight for the Hindus and sees himself as a savior of his people. The fourth is frightening because he is dangerous enough to get listeners. You always get listeners when you take up crusades and become shrill and find a target for the public frustration. See, it is
all the fault of those chaps, not us. And what has Modi said so far about this man? Nothing dramatic even as other parties have called for him to be hospitalized. Modi may think he won votes but he may have lost a whole platform.
