| 'Those who can kill their ideology can kill anyone': Patra | | BJP a classical example | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Sept 13: "Irritating" BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra on Saturday made a very significant statement while participating in a TV debate on Narendra Modi versus Sonia Gandhi/Rahul Gandhi. He said "those who can kill their ideology can kill anyone". He meant the Congress. He was absolutely wrong. The Congress under Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi has never ever compromised its ideology. The Congress under them and the-Congress-led UPA Government under the tight control of Sonia Gandhi left no stone unturned to implement the Congress ideology. The Congress is a party that can go to any extent to implement its "secular" ideology. Which means the Congress can go to any extent to appease the minorities, especially Muslims and Christians, and divide the Indian society on the basis of caste, creed and region. It can even sacrifice power to ensure that its ideology remained undiluted and it was proved in 2014, when it suffered a massive defeat in the general elections by winning a paltry 44 seats in the Lok Sabha. Despite this massive defeat and despite the observation of senior Congress leader and former Defence Minister AK Antony that the Congress lost because the majority Hindu community considered the Congress as anti-Hindu party, the Sonia/Rahul Congress has not deviated even a bit from their ideology. They continue to preach what preached it preached before the party's defeat.
The fact is that Patra made a wrong observation and he is actually known more for talking rubbish than talking sense. He only fights and not debates. It is the BJP which doesn't mind killing its own ideology for the sake of power. The BJP under the leadership of Atal Bihari Vajpayee and LK Advani and the then RSS leadership diluted its ideology in the 1990s to form Government at the centre. It abandoned its core issues - Ram Temple, Article 370 and Uniform Civil Code - to stitch an alliance with "secular" parties and come into power at the centre. Actually these leaders had killed their ideology on the day they founded BJP in 1980. Had they been committed to their ideology they would have revived Jan Sangh and not formed the BJP. And after coming into power, the BJP-led NDA Government left no stone unturned to appease the minority communities and accommodate Pakistani view on Jammu & Kashmir. Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee even went to extent of saying that Article 370 shall always be protected and strengthened. As for the attitude of the BJP towards Ram Temple and Uniform Civil Code, less said the better. Suffice to say that the BJP and the RSS adopted a dubious approach towards their core agenda to remain in the good books of "secular" outfits so that they could remain in power.
And what the BJP and the RSS did in Jammu & Kashmir to become part of the controversial political establishment is a classical example that shows that the so-called nationalist BJP and its mentor RSS had no regard whatsoever for what they advocated before the BJP formed Government at the centre in 1998 under the leadership of Vajpayee. They stopped talking about Article 370 even before going to the 2014 Assembly elections and after winning 25 seats from Jammu, the BJP forged an alliance with a party that was known for everything that the BJP bitterly opposed during the election campaign. The fact is that the BJP and the RSS killed their ideology and shamelessly and brutally murdered Shyama Prasad Mookerjee, who had laid down his life in Kashmir in June 1953 to integrate the State into India and force the "secular" Congress to abolish Article 370.
Patra needs to revise his stand on the Congress of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi. For, it is not the Congress, but the BJP which has blackened its face beyond recognition by killing its ideology. The BJP has turned more "secular" and to the extent that it is now killing its own constituency in Jammu region which gave status to it. The people of Jammu region have been bemoaning their decision that culminated in the victory of 25 BJP candidates in the Assembly elections. |
