India was systematically communalised for decades through Congress-style minority appeasement, and people like you, Rajdeep Sardesai, either stayed silent, justified it, or applauded it. • Where was this concern when Manmohan Singh infamously declared that minorities, especially Muslims, must have the “first claim” on national resources? • Where was... this concern when Sonia Gandhi pushed to legitimize the draconian Communal Violence Bill, a blatantly one-sided framework that effectively presumed Hindus to be aggressors?? • Where was this concern when the Congress govt in Andhra Pradesh introduced a 4% reservation exclusively for Muslims in education and govt jobs?? • Where was this concern when Congress CM of Telangana proudly declared “Musalmaan ka matlab Congress, Congress ka matlab musalmaan”?? What you're defending as “constitutional morality” today, was conveniently celebrated as “secularism” by you back then. For years, Hindus silently tolerated blatant appeasement, and anyone raising objections was instantly branded “communal”. So what you're calling the “normalisation of communal politics”, is in reality a backlash against decades of selective secularism, minority appeasement and cynical vote-bank politics. The Modi led BJP Govt govt is dismantling that old Congress model where governance revolved around religious appeasement instead of equal citizenship.show more
