JAMMU: There must be something terribly wrong with the Congress DNA, which makes it menacingly anti-Hindu. The latest in the series on hate and defame Hindu identity manifests in the expose on RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat being framed during the UPA regime. Shocking as it is, a national television channel has revealed that the Congress led UPA wanted to frame Mohan Bhagwat in many terror attacks. The channel said that UPA wanted to use the NIA to fulfill its mission of blaming RSS for terror attacks.

Normally, this sensational revelation should have not surprised anyone, given the duplicity of the Congress and its treacherous appeasement policy. The Congress has brought Indian polity to lowest depths by furthering the pan-Islamist agenda of dismantling Hindus into bits and pieces. The worst machination of this sordid and nefarious plan is to wean away weaker sections from Hindu mainstream, which is why Dalits are viciously portrayed as a separate entity.

For Muslims, the Congress has a special ‘fascination’ though the crude and brazen appeasement has harmed the overall interests of the community most. It stands isolated in the national mainstream while Hindus are getting hugely consolidated. In the case of Lashkar operative Ishrat Jehan, the Congress did its worse to implicate the elected government in Gujarat through CBI. The soft corner for terrorists involved in Batla House encounter exposed Sonia Gandhi, Digvijay Singh, Salman Khursheed, among others, vehemently. Digvijay is on record having referred global dreaded terrorist Osama bin Laden as Osamaji while Congress MLAs signed a statement, espousing the cause of Afzal Guru apologists to get just one vote of an independent legislator in Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly for getting its nominee elected to the Rajya Sabha.

The latest appeasement policy of the Congress came to fore when US President Donald Trump referred to terrorists as Islamist terrorists, in presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in White House. This irked the Congress so hugely that almost all its spokespersons jumped to denounce Trump and raise fingers against Modi, as if he had instigated the world’s powerful political executive to speak truth.

The Congress is so obsessive of a particular community that it created Hindu terror concept to dilute Islamist terrorism. In 2013, the then Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde had stated in Congress Chintan Shiver, “After investigations, we have seen that be it the BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) or the RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh), their training camps are promoting Hindu terrorism. This is a matter of concern. We are keeping a strict eye on it. He had gone on saying that in the Samjhauta Express, at the Mecca Masjid in Hyderabad and in Malegaon in Maharashtra, there was misinformation about bombs being planted by members of the minority community”. So, to absolve the real culprits of their crime and to win support of their vote bank, the Congress coined the saffron terrorism theory. However, succumbing to massive outrage, Shinde was made to retreat a few months later. In a statement, he had stated, “It has been understood to mean that I was linking terrorism to a particular religion and was accusing certain political organisations of being involved in organising terror camps.”

Shinde’s remarks and sustained Congress campaign against the so-called Hindu terror got boost after its all powerful Vice President Rahul Gandhi had stated that Hindu terrorism was biggest threat to India. According to a cable by U.S ambassador to India Timothy Roemer which was released by Wikileaks in 2010, Rahul Gandhi is reported to have felt that the “the bigger threat (to India) may be the growth of radicalised Hindu groups, which create religious tensions and political confrontations with the Muslim community.”

Can the Congress recall Rahul Gandhi ever having expressed similar apprehensions about the Islamist terror, which is a reality? The answer will be in negative. Whenever any Muslim is found involved in a terror act, the Congress propaganda machinery goes into vibrant mode, emphasizing that terrorists have no religion. But whenever any non-Muslim’s name surfaces, the pseudo secularists keep harping on Hindu or Saffron terror. This happened recently in Srinagar when a Hindu convert to Islam Sandeep alias Aadil was arrested for assisting the Lashker module in carrying out assassination of six policemen in south Kashmir. Both separatists and pseudo separatists in the so-called mainstream camp, including the Congress, tried to give a different spin to barbaric terror attack. But this ploy fell flat and the pseudo seculars got exposed yet again.
