BJP is opportunisticBy: Amrith Rao | Saturday , 3 Jan '09 22:17:48 PM Reply | Forward It does not matter for the country what the BJP says about any group of minorities. The saffronites are all opportunists, trying to gain out of every statement. At this juncture, it is as important to fight against the saffron terror as much as other kinds of terror in the country. Unfortunately one kind of terror feeds on another. If Ayodhya had not taken place, the Gujarat carnage was prevented and those who cause communal riots were dealt with firmly and quickly, the Mumbai tragedy would not have taken place. Those fanatics responsible for hate crimes against minorites must be booked and severely dealt with. We are all citizens of this country and it is the BJP and its affiliates that is trying to divide. Let us begin a national campaign asking for banning of all parties that use religion and work for a secular India. It is unfortunate that even the Congress seem to compromise on secularism. Opportunism is bad for all parties. Let us unite for India by denouncing all hate-mongers

Just shut upBy: Sandeep R. | Monday , 5 Jan '09 9:29:52 AM Reply | Forward Mr. Rao, why do you stop at 1991 Ayodhya in your history. Go further back. If Babar had not destroyed the temple, 1991 would not have taken place. Anyway, no one was killed in the 1991 event that traitors like you associate with being 'root cause'.

Katiyar's gambleBy: Baatul | Saturday , 3 Jan '09 22:06:35 PM Reply | Forward Katiyar must realize that this spin will not get 1 additional vote from Muslims. But, many of the Hindus will certainly move away from BJP. I'm one such Hindu.

Threat from withinBy: Raj | Saturday , 3 Jan '09 21:26:21 PM Reply | Forward With people like Vinay Kattiayar living freely in India, thret for India is not from outside but from within. These RSS maniacs should be send to Afan to fight Taliban. Both have similar ideology and let them fight it over.

nonsense of reports and committiesBy: Ahmed | Saturday , 3 Jan '09 21:16:50 PM Reply | Forward this is just unbeliveable, deoband is is the same institution who oppsed jinah for his two nation theory for which it was named as "Hindu math" by many fundamentalist hindus during the era of partition, its schlors are well known all around the world for its clear thoughts importance of nationaism in any socitey, congress should made public the report so that world should knows what kinda people sitting in those committies who commit this kinda nonsense.

DeobandBy: Vandana | Saturday , 3 Jan '09 20:25:41 PM Reply | Forward Deobandi school of thought is said to be the ideological nspiration of Al-qaeda.If BJP is supporting it now ,it is because of political reasons.Should Deoband be banned.?...I don't think so.Bans just drive organisations underground and harder to track or reform.Deobandis should be left alone so that they react to the nation's mood and institute reforms from within as and when required.

people just comment without knowing the whole truthBy: satyanveshi | Monday , 5 Jan '09 7:29:22 AM Reply | Forward you dont even know that. Just half baked media reports. BJP is right in saying deobandh is good for India. They are the only front liner islamic institution that calls for respect and modernization as against fanaticism.

Indian born terroristBy: richard | Saturday , 3 Jan '09 20:10:48 PM Reply | Forward Let Pakisthan send thousand terrorists, it wil not make us leave our Indian identitty. However, will we have the same resolve to fight the terrorists if they start attacking our identity in the name of religion, region and linguistic majority?

ALL religious institutionns should be bannedBy: Jatin | Saturday , 3 Jan '09 19:49:52 PM Reply | Forward Al l religious institutions like Deobband must be banned. Congress is right in this case. Deoband is the breeding ground for fundamentalists. BJP must stop playing politics to join the minority appeasement bandwagon before general election.

Aggression, like yours, is the root cause of terrorismBy: Malkesh Adesra | Monday , 5 Jan '09 10:51:40 AM Reply | Forward People who just cannot tolerate other religion/thoughts or anything that is just not like your own, and then specifically back it up with ridiculous aggression, tend to become terrorist and breed terrorist-like mentality. Can you imagine all the gurukuls and ashrams banned for the reason that they are religious ! Your comment is thoughtless and laughable. People like you are a subject of Pity. Grow up to get rid of the shame you have brought to yourself.

Muslims need to join BJPBy: Gus | Saturday , 3 Jan '09 19:37:37 PM Reply | Forward This is a great move .. indian muslim leaders should join BJP and make it a broad based party so that BJP can come to mainstream and change it's policies to accomodate muslims

Shame on BJPBy: Kumar | Saturday , 3 Jan '09 19:27:12 PM Reply | Forward What happened to BJP? Now they want to take up the pseudo-secular space vacated by Congress in the aftermath of the Mumbai incident. Shame on BJP! If Advani fails to discipline his party, BJP will be doomed to an ingnominous defeat.

you dont have any idea about principles and politicsBy: satyanveshi | Monday , 5 Jan '09 7:32:35 AM Reply | Forward you dont have any idea about truth or even to say right kind of politics. BJP has never been antimuslims. It was others who for garnering votes branded "communalism". Deobandh is truly a good islamic institution with right kind of eduction imparted to students.

Shame and BJP has no relationBy: Raj | Sunday , 4 Jan '09 18:32:49 PM Reply | Forward Kumar, BJP does not even know what shame is. When Vajpayee was meditating as PM, they bought MLAs of BSp to surive in UP. They took some back money into LokSabha and accused a clean man like Manmohan. Vajpayee snored when Gujrat was burning. BJP let the terrorists go with some free love gifts. Advani promised Supreme court that the BM would not be destroyed and then provoked the followers to bring it down. Vajpayee provoked Pak to test Nuclear bomb, thus making both terrorist Pak and India equal (nuclear) forces. NOw this Katiayr is working for ISI.
