Muslims are the most deprived people in India. The Sachar committee was formed to find out the actual position of Muslims in India and it tells about the plight of Muslims. The intention of the government was not bad. You can’t call it a vote bank politics.

UPA is more famous for muslim appeasement policies than for anything else.You cannot ignore the majority in your bid to woo the minority.Why congress particularly has a soft stand on terrorism can easily be explained in its minority votebank.Dividing peolpe on religios lines is something congress is a champ at.The congress needs to know it can find its aam aadmi in majority too .

Would you please explain the soft and hard stand on terrorism? Where was the UPA soft on terrorism? The tough stand of BJP against terrorism was just because of POTA which it used to torture the minorities and innocent people.

@Yash

I am asking you a very simple question:Aren’t other communities living wretched lives? Should welfare programmes be aimed at improving the lives of Muslims alone?

If Muslims are most deprived ,according to you,why don’t you analyze the actual reasons ? What prevented them from becoming part of mainstream affairs like other communities ?

I feel that to frame policies on par with sectarian interests is purely unconstitutional.

@Shivangi

Very well said.Nothing left to add anything in your remark.

Excerpts from an interview given by Arun Jaitely :

National security is another area of the UPA’s failure. Is India more insecure than it was in 2004? The answer unequivocally is yes.

This government has linked the fight against terrorism not to take steps to improve national security, but it uses it conversely for the purpose of vote bank politics. The policy of this government is to indulge in vote bank politics by projecting that you are slow and soft in taking action against terror. They think it will be beneficial, so they withdrew POTA. You have no political courage to give death sentence to people who tried to eliminate the political leadership of India by attacking Parliament. You are not clearing the strong legislation of state governments headed by the BJP because you don’t want to empower the state to fight terror. This government has also disappointed in tackling Maoist terror or the violence in the north-east.

The intelligence network in this country is virtually dismantled, it’s considerably weakened. The statement of the national security advisor (M K Narayanan) that intelligence agencies are doing nothing is a disappointment. After four years of inaction the prime minister has the audacity to come back and say let’s have a federal agency. How will the federal agency help unless you have the proper laws to back up the federal agency? Will the federal agency only investigate crimes under the CrPC? Is the federal agency there to ensure easy bail for the suspects?

Foreign affairs is one more area where the government has failed. India’s position which had strategic strength has been diminished. By convincing the world that Pakistan is the state from where terrorism emanates we (the NDA) kept Pakistan on a leash. The prime minister gave a clean chit to Pakistan by saying that Pakistan is a victim of terror. This government has outsourced its foreign policy to the Marxists.

As a result you have turmoil in Nepal. Today there is a Maoist regime that has come up in Nepal. How will it fix India one, will have to see keeping fingers crossed. Bangladesh’s illegal migration continues. We are now standing in the midst of several States whose internal turmoil is spilling over to our territory. Be it Nepal, be it Pakistan or Bangladesh or Sri Lanka

Arvind
You mean to say that people of Nepal did a wrong thing by overthrowing the monarchy. They fought for a change in their life but that was not good according to you.

@Yash

Change is rule of life.I am not against changes.We have to wait for few more years to see the results of Maoist rule in Nepal.In fact,it has already made ordinary Nepalese unhappy.I am of the opinion that they are passing through a very rough phase.


After getting rid of oppressive rule of King Gyanendra they have now fallen in the trap of greater enemy called the Maoists.You can see the menace created by them in some of the Indian states.
