Hindus in Bengal

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.”

Deserving of cruelty

Organiser joins issue with the “media diatribe” against Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi over fake encounters. The magazine carries an article originally written in Tamil by Cho Ramaswamy. The argument: “When the policemen eliminate, in this manner, those who indulge in cruel offences, should it be termed ‘murder’? Or, should it be construed as ‘termination by police of a persistent cruelty to society’? Under law, that too is murder. But in the eyes of society, it is a good deed. What is the way out for this incongruity?
