After their well known political party’s
leader allegedly forced a fasting muslim worker to eat, they say why give it a
comunal colour. God forbid anything like that should happen, but I would like
to see their reaction when a hindu is forced to eat a chapati or for that
matter meat during navratras. Those self proclaimed hinduvadi’s are sure to
come out violently on the streets. I guess for them it is easy to say that people are deriving political milage and
maligning the party’s image, but very difficult to say sorry to that small
pantry worker.
They claim to “respect all religions but will not tolerate if anyone tries to flaunt his religious affiliation for intimidation: and go on to profoundities like ” One should keep his religion in his heart and in his house”. Probably they have forgotton their parst and particularly their role between December 1992-March 1993. I sincerely hope when they say, ” One should keep his religion in his heart and in his house” they have burried their past and would stick to this statement in true sense. I can only hope.
They say "Was it wrong to
question the injustice?. Was it wrong to question the catering contractor on
the quality of food served there?” I hope they will raise their voice against
all injustices, if not in India then in Maharashtra, and if not in Maharashtra
then in Mumbai atleast. I hope they will atleast stop bullying their immediate
neighbours. I hope they will now believe in equality for all irrespective of
caste, colour and creed. I hope they will grow above comunalism and
regionalism. I hope the same rulle is
applicable to all those in BMC or other establishments where they dominate.
"What is wrong if the chapati
is taken to the mouth of the contractor and he was asked to eat it. It was not
written on his face that he was a Muslim. It was just a coincidence. The contractor
serves such chapatis that are difficult to break. How is one supposed to eat
such food?" If this is what you have to say then probably Mr Sainik this
is a very lame excuse. I think you need to personally and publically need to
appologise to him for whatever you have done. Maharashtra Sadan is not your
personal fiefdom also. And don’t be under false impression that you have made
Marathi Manoos proud, rather you have shamed yourself and the community in
particular.
