  • Hindus in West Bengal Suffer’, is the lead story of the Organiser. The magazine says in the Muslim-dominated districts of West Bengal “the condition of Hindus are not very much different and in some areas even worse than Islamic Bangladesh...” As an illustration, the article details how a 14-year-old Hindu boy was allegedly set on fire by a Muslim mob in 24 Parganas South. “His family which came to India (from Bangladesh) for an honourable living as a Hindu have nowhere to go now. Only darkness looms on their fate and on the millions of Hindus as West Bengal slowly withers towards the formation of another Islamic state.”

    And why not Modi?

    The Organiser denounces Kerala’s Left government for letting S.A.R. Geelani, set free by the Supreme Court in the Parliament attack case, address a meeting on ‘Encounter Killings and State Terrorism’. The Organiser’s grouse: the Kerala government had denied VHP leader Pravin Togadia permission to hold meetings in the state, and the Marxist cadre had protested Narendra Modi’s visit to the state. “While Modi’s effigies were burnt all over Kerala by the comrades, Geelani was given a red carpet welcome and commando protection. In the case of terrorists, CPM is very magnanimous,” says the Organiser.

    Temple entry

    Another article says the Kerala government is “conspiring for entry of Christians and Muslims in temples.” The provocation is the recent debate set off in Kerala after the Guruvayur temple did a purification ceremony after Union minister Vayalar Ravi’s son entered the premises. The temple authorities claimed Ravi’s son, born to a Christian mother, is Christian too. “Communist MLAs, who as atheists don’t take oath of office in the name of god, appoint presidents to the temple boards, who also take pride in their anti-god labels. But for looting poor Hindus’ money deposited in temple coffers, they are together.”
