Sangh Parivar's mask slips


Face of the Indian right wing that the BJP would have rather covered forever.
But, unfortunately, it cannot as it lacks both, the moral rectitude and the strength of character, to do so. Forget all that grandstanding before television cameras. That is for public consumption.

There has been enough heat over two BJP legislators watching pornographic material on their cell phones while the Assembly was in session. The party will have to answer for it.What is more interesting is the topic under discussion when the alleged act of the ministers was caught on camera. It was the Sri Ram Sene, a right wing outfit and the self proclaimed protector of public morality, notorious for having attacked women in Mangalore’s pubs for not behaving in ‘acceptable’ manner.Over 300 attacks were carried out against Christians in the last four years by pseudo nationalists under the present right wing regime.Mr CC Patil's women and children welfare ministry ,one of the Porngate minister carried out extensive raids in Karnataka christian welfare missions, known to be highly communally sensitive. The purpose was to set off a communal conflict by fanning rumours about the minorities. The normally vocal central BJP leaders have been curiously silent about the outfit and its activities. The RSS, the ideological fount of the Sangh Parivar to which all these outfits claim to be loosely affiliated, has not come out strongly against the Sene too.

The RSS, the ideological fount of the Sangh Parivar to which all these outfits claim to be loosely affiliated, has not come out strongly against the Sene too.
However, this particular outfit is just one of the rogue players in the Sangh’s extended family. Others jump in whenever they feel they are losing the media space. Although scattered across the country, the outfits share common character traits: they are illiberal and intolerant; they are not amenable to reason; they are prone to violence; and they would not mind manufacturing communal disharmony, which includes riots, when it suits them. All this, of course, in the name of protecting Indian culture and heritage.
