[h=1]Modi-baiters are running the intolerance debate[/h]By SUDESH VERMA
Singer-musician Adnan Sami’s recent statement that he would not have sought Indian citizenship had India been intolerant was an apt answer to the vicious campaign run by the Left-Liberal-Congress clique against the Narendra Modi government. Few seemed ready or keen to challenge Sami’s statement. The Bihar Assembly elections coincided with the “intolerance” debate run by an illiberal section that sought to force its opinion on the gullible masses.
The single-point agenda of this illiberal section seemed to be to ensure the BJP-led NDA alliance’s defeat in Bihar. They saw Bihar as the beginning of a new experiment where a “better caste coalition” could defeat the agenda of development and good governance.
Those who alleged that India had become intolerant did not bother to see that rationalist Dr Narendra Dabholkar (Maharashtra) was gunned down by unknown motorcycle-borne assailants in August 2013 when the Congress was in power in the state. Kannada writer M.M. Kalburgi was shot dead in a similar fashion last year at his residence in Dharwad in Congress-led Karnataka. The party needs to expedite the probe and get the guilty punished. Even in the Dadri incident, the blame for the killing of Mohammad Akhlaq should have been put on the Uttar Pradesh government run by the Samajwadi Party.
The award wapsi brigade was not concerned with facts and justice, but was merely interested in maligning the Modi government and the BJP despite the fact that the Prime Minister had on several occasions condemned incidents of hate, irrespective of who was involved.
