The Pledge

February 25th, 2009

Friends,

Tomorrow It will be 3 month since the 26/11 attacks on Mumbai took place. But the time has not healed the wounds that it has inflicted on everyone’s mind. I continue to remain angry and restless. I can’t accept that even though my countrymen mind their own business, trying very hard to tackle domestic problems of population, poverty, natural calamities, corruption and work hard to make Bharat a better place, one of my neighbors send armed terrorist to disrepute it. It feels that as if someone has come to my house and abused me. And yes I will take it personally. Because it has shaken my confidence in my leaders, my security forces, my public servants and my countrymen.

However loud voices in media proclaim this incident’s fallout to be the unity of our people, we all in our hearts know that incidents like this are not possible without a local support. They may be 10 Pakistani infiltrators which came with weapons to kill us Hindustani, but there were certainly more number of locals who helped them carry out this operation. For me this angle of this incident is more disturbing. The media, the Government is trying to mislead Hindustani people from this fact. They are keeping their eye on coming General elections, want to create frenzy by War talks and show that they are taking some action. They have amended the existing Terrorist Prevention Act again and now it again looks like POTA. But from 2004 to 2008, due to the lack of stringent tool in the hand of security forces, we have to let go of 70 terrorists, number of them were Pakistani.

I have found in last one month that media is biased against BJP and RSS. Nobody is asking Congress some simple questions

1. Why POTA was diluted when Hindustan has lost maximum lives due to the act of Terrorism ?

2. Why our Defence Minister and External Affairs Minister was appointed as Central Observers to select the new Chief Minister of Maharashtra, when they actually must have been fully engaged in diplomatic tug-of-war with Pakistan.?

3. Why UPA leaders support SIMI ?

4. Why they challenged Batla encounter?

5. Why Mr. Antulay challenged Karkare’s death but didn’t seek apology ?

6. Why UPA Government did not execute Afzal Guru and thus contempting Supreme Court ruling?

7. Why UPA Govt lifted POTA (only because it was BJP’s handiwork) and now passed a bill similar to POTA ?

8. Why It filed affidavit saying Lord Sri Ram never existed ?

9. Why it played politics with Amarnath Shrine Board and harassed the Hindus in public ?

10. Why Kashmiri Pandits are still living in refuge camps ?

11. How PDP, NC is let loose to favour Pak and its rule in Kashmir?

12. How come, UPA’s only achievements are like condemning attack, talks, cabinet meeting, investigation, warning, begging help, supporting ministers attacking Hindu sentiments and no concrete steps to tackle terrorism?

I have seen in last two month that the reports in print and TV media are completely biased. It is showing some sort of political untouchability. But I feel that in Hindustan, where we are upholding the right of Ajmal Kasab of fair trial, we are showing a lot of intolerance towards a national political party of India. We have not projected its thoughts properly. Our media has branded them “Right-wing”, Communal, which I feel is unfair. BJP is only party which is Truly Secular.

I have now decided that I will compile such new reports, which did not find place in our National TV news channel or Newspapers and send it to all my friends. I know that many of you may not agree with me, but I request you to go through the information I send across. I will also inform you the source of the information. I just want you to give BJP a fair trial this time.

Thank you.
