Words like Katuwa, Mullah, Atankwadi by BJP MP were also for global Muslim leaders too whom Modi hugs

On one hand, Mohammed bin Salman is embraced as an agent of wealth and on the other, he or more specific Muslims like him are given titles like circumcised, pimp, terrorist and slang word used for Muslims by the colleagues of PM Narendra Modi

The new Parliament building has forever been marked by the viciousness and obstinacy of the saffron mentality. The true face of the Sangh Parivar has been exposed. What goes into a bowl drips out. BJP may try to hide as much, but what it has been taught or trained by the RSS scholars in Sakhas cannot be hidden, nor can the mentality get masked. From the old Parliament building to its new building, the BJP MPs led by their head Narendra Modi went carrying a copy of the Indian Constitution. They must have gone with it but these are the people who are far from believing in the Constitution. They just flaunt the Constitution inside and outside the parliament. How much glory was being spread in the happiness of going to the moon, Indian scientists went to the moon, but the Sangh Parivar could not get out of their dirty mentality. The same dark mentality, the same dominance of darkism is riding in their hearts and minds day and night. Allama Iqbal had said about such people a long time ago.

The seeker of the passages of the stars… could not travel in the world of his thoughts

Who arrested the rays of the sun … The dark night of life could not be charming!

Ramesh Bidhuri is not alone in the Sangh Parivar who is making a name for himself in his bad language and misbehaviour. The Sangh Parivar is full of such people.

Narendra Modi’s language itself reflects a dirty mentality. They recognize people by their clothes. He did not regret the massacre of Muslims in Gujarat. When asked, he says that if a dog’s paw comes under the wheel of a car, then it must be painful. This person had no qualms about using insulting words or phrases for all Muslims.

Ramesh Bidhuri belongs to the same family. How can his language and speech be different from Modi’s? His speech is being discussed all over the world. Al Jazeera news channel has also publicized the bad language of this BJP leader. It is possible that apart from English, it has been translated into Arabic as well. If not presented, an Arabic scholar should translate it from Hindi to Arabic so that even those lovers of Narendra Modi who embrace him, know how Modi’s colleagues treat Muslims. On the sidelines of the G20 summit, Modi was repeatedly seen hugging Mohammed bin Salman. Mohammed bin Salman is also included in the words that Ramesh Bidhuri chose to address MP Danish Ali.

On one hand, Mohammed bin Salman is embraced as an agent of wealth and money, and on the other, he or more specific Muslims like him are given titles like Katwa (circumcised), Bhadwa (pimp), Atankwadi (terrorist) and Mullah (slang for Muslims). The Arabs know how dirty Sangh Parivar’s mentality is. Many years ago, speaking in Cochin, Kerala, Modi had said that Muslim boy’s minds can be purified and work can be taken from them. Arab countries will be aware of the Sangh Parivar mentality today if not tomorrow and its effects will be far-reaching.

Thinking about Indians especially Indian brothers from Arabs. For this, the people of India should tell the truth to the Sangh Parivar that the people of the Sangh Parivar are not serving the country and the nation with their bad language, but they are defaming the nation.

Indians who are working or doing business in Arab countries will have to bear the brunt of this. Ramesh Bidhuri did not suddenly show foul language and misbehaviour but it seems that it was a well-thought-out scheme that was being attempted. In which there was a huge failure of the Sangh Parivar. The plan was that the Bahujan Samaj Party MP Kunwar Danish Ali would get angry and go out of his way to say something that would allow the Sangh Parivar to say what Muslims do.

It was good and very good that Danish Ali did not lose his temper but showed his humility and tolerance. Worked with patience due to which the oppressor remained oppressor and the oppressed remained oppressed.

All the opposition parties are condemning those who were happy or laughing at the tyrant’s cruel act. The step forward taken by Rahul Gandhi is highly commendable. Opposition parties are assuring Danish Ali of their support. Rahul Gandhi not only assured but also reached Danish Ali’s house unannounced, and hugged Danish Ali. Also by meeting his family members and assuring them that the Congress Party stands with Danish Ali and his family members. This is the first time that the leaders of the opposition parties and the Congress party have openly come forward on the issue of Muslims. This is a commendable display by the ‘India’ alliance in a way that should be applauded.

Muslim organizations should also come forward and seriously appreciate the tolerance of Kunwar Danish Ali and support him that he did not get agitated or swayed but acted like a good parliamentarian demonstrated by Danish Ali repeatedly saying that if justice is not done to him, he will resign from Parliament. Danish Ali hopes for loyalty from those who may not fully understand the concept of it.

Danish Ali should follow the advice of famous journalist Ravish Kumar and accept his suggestion. He should resign from such a parliament in which he was mistreated and many of the misbehaving party were laughing and tapping the table with glee.

In the same Parliament, MPs of opposition parties are suspended for the entire session for the smallest matter. Aam Aadmi Party’s Sanjay Singh and Raghav Chadha were suspended for merely protesting. Congress MP Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary was immediately suspended by the Speaker for using a wrong word, but Ramesh Bidhuri was merely warned by the Speaker not to make such a mistake in the future. It was like a father lovingly telling his son not to make a mistake in the future. The speaker’s bias is visible.

MP Danish Ali has written to the Speaker, demanding justice and requesting that the matter be referred to the Privileges Committee. No action has yet been taken in this matter and no action is expected.

Narendra Modi and the chief of the Sangh Parivar, is silent. It seems that their mouths are locked. Even if Narendra Modi spoke, it would be mere pretence and exhibition. MP Pragya Singh Thakur many years ago termed Gandhi’s killer Nathuram Godse as Desh Bhakt (patriot). At that time Amit Shah was the president of the BJP, and he sent a show-cause notice to Pragya Singh Thakur. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in a press conference that he has suffered a lot, and he cannot forget such a painful thing in his life. To date, Modi’s heartache has not been revealed and no action has been taken against the MP who said Godse as desh bhakt. Then how can it be expected that action will be taken against Ramesh Bidhuri who is a member of the same party?

Bidhuri not only abused them and showed Islamophobia but also threatened them that he would see Danish Ali outside. If Ramesh Bidhuri had said the same thing outside Parliament, Danish could have filed an FIR against him. Bidhuri could have been sued, but what is said in the Parliament, case could not be lodged outside on it. It is the Speaker’s prerogative to act or the Privileges Committee to act.

Danish Ali should consult the leaders of the opposition parties and take some effective steps as soon as possible. The effective step should be that he does not delay in resigning from Parliament. His resignation may also be a huge slap on the face of the Sangh Parivar.
