Taking a jibe at the BJP’s slogans, party’s secretary for political affairs Kanwar Pal Singh said the hoardings and propaganda material of the BJP urges the voters to bring “this time Modi Sarkar” (not the NDA sarkar). Seeking votes to establish a single person rule in this country, he said, the move smells of the design of the RSS, which has long desire to convert India into Hindu rashtar and “teach minorities a lesson”.
He said it looks imminent that majority community would be repeating the history by bringing right wing Hindu Nationalist leader Narendra Modi- the mass murderer of Muslims to power as it did in 1985 when Rajiv Gandhi was handed over power after he engineered massacre of Sikhs in 1984.
Explaining the trust deficit between majority and minority, Kanwar Pal Singh said former was empowering the perpetrators of genocide and later was trying to bring those perpetrators to book. With Modi at the helm of affairs, this deficit would get more deepen, he observed.
He said they were at pains to see how majority community has at times preferred to give the reigns of the country to a person whose hands are soaked into blood of minorities. Stressing on the need to change the prevailing mindset, he asserted the bond between majority and minority should be on positive plank and equal footing rather than the minority playing the role of an appendage.
He said there’s total bankruptcy in the leadership of Shiromani Akali Dal, the party blindly following Modi. “Badals have drenched into power politics to such extent that they had lost senses to visualize what’s wrong and right for the community.
Taking to task those who are habitual of blaming their group for creating communal mistrust, Dal Khalsa activist said they represent the voice of deeply wounded segment that feels suffocated in such political environment where elections lures people but doesn’t deliver as per their aspirations.
