Early Times Report
JAMMU, May 26: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national spokesperson and former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) founder Sazia Ilmi has termed Vishaw Hindu Parishad (VHP) "anti-national" and divisive and threatened action against those who held "counter terror training camps" in Ayodhya on May 10. What made the RSS-affiliated outfits to take on each other in public was the video that went viral and showed Bajrang Dal, another affiliate of the RSS, holding arms training camps and organizing rigorous training sessions.
Sazia Ilmi, a new entrant in the BJP, attacked Vonod Bansal, national spokesperson of the VHP, who defended the arms-training camp at Ayodhya and the rigorous training sessions. Bansal's argument was that the situation in the country was grave and there was the need for each and every Indian to get prepared for defeating those who pose a live challenge to the unity of the country and target soft targets to promote their sinister agenda. It was this argument that didn't go well with Sazia Ilmi and the result was that she much to the chagrin and embarrassment of VHP national spokesperson attacked him from right and left and created an impression that the BJP had nothing to do with the RSS or its outfit VHP.
Significantly, UP Governor Ram Naik, a former senior BJP leader, like Bansal, also defended the BD-organized arms training camp and advanced arguments similar to the ones Bansal advanced. In fact, Ram Naik was the first person who didn't find anything wrong with the BD-sponsored arms-training camp and drill. By terming VHP's Bansal anti-national and divisive, she, in fact, termed Ram Naik anti-national.
Encouraged by the BJP's anti-VHP and anti-BD stand, the UP Police today registered an FIR against BD organizers for "promoting enmity among different communities". Sankalp Sharma, SP, City Faizabad, said the matter was being investigated. Here are the Highlights: An FIR has been registered against Bajrang Dal organisers and participants under Sections u/s 153A in Faizabad.
The organisation has been charged with promoting enmity among different communities. In the videos, groups of young men were seen brandishing air guns, lathis and other weapons. The drills included jumping across fire rings, crossing muddy water bodies, passing through fire and shooting the militants. Mock attacks were conducted at the camp on men wearing skull caps, beards. Muslim clerics severely criticized the training. Congress spokesperson Amarnath Agarwal says the Bajrang Dal activists only want to fan communal feelings. BJP MP from Unnao Sakshi Maharaj says there was nothing wrong in it. Gorakhpur MP Yogi Adityanath seconds his party colleague.
The attack of the BJP on the VHP and its distancing from the BD has not surprised anyone. The reason is that the BJP has in the past dissociated itself from the under-attack RSS outfits to demonstrate its "secular" credentials. That the BJP is interested only in power and not in ideology and that it has no love lost even for the founder of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh (BJS) could be seen from what the BJP did in J&K for the same of power. Apart from murdering Syama Prasad Mookerjee and discarding its ideology, the BJP cheated its own constituency in Jammu for the sake of power and pelf.
However, it will be interesting to see what stand the VHP and the BD take to take on the BJP. The matter is very serious in the sense that the BJP has termed the GP "anti-national" and "divisive". Besides, it has given a long stick to the Congress and similar other "secular" parties to beat the Sangh Parivar from right and left. |
