BJP’s Prime-ministerial candidate Narendra Modi’s jingle ‘appeasement for none, development for all’, is an answer to the politics of minority appeasement being experienced in the country for years. This tag-line of Modi is getting vast acceptability in the muslim regions of Gujrat. One of the impact of acceptability of this slogan is BJP’s clean sweep victory in civic polls in muslim regions in Gujrat. BJP got 30 to 60 per cent Muslims votes for BJP in as many as 22 constituencies where Muslims were in prominent numbers. And if the same miracle of this slogan starts having impact at the national level then Modi might occur as one of the first politicians ever to find a answer to the politics of religious appeasement that has punctured the cycle in which nation is running.
The Nasty Movement Against Modi –
For the last twelve years,
there had been a deliberate effort to color Gujrat in a very nasty way and term
it as epitome of communalism, even when official records getting better year over
year. From the last one decade, Gujrat has been the most pacific place without
even single communal riot. On the other hand, in rest of the country the situation
had been completely different. Starting from riots in several parts of Uttar
Pradesh (Muzaffarnagar riots), Bihar and even in West Bengal, where
intelligence reports alleges people from Bangladesh came on truck and killed
the innocent people and asked them to leave the village(24
Pargana district). Situation in
north-east states is even not very good, In assam, last year a girl was
molested in front of police.
There are also many other tensions in northern
east states where the prime crisis is because of a literal incursion by
Bangladeshis who have illegally come and settled in such a huge number that the
local population is gradually becoming minority. On based on government facts
only, there are five crores Bangladeshi living in India, experts claims the
number can be even bigger. Even though, it is a big threat for the country. National media does not cover these stories. All
the news debates are digging out some or other problems in Gujrat. In spite of
the extraordinary progress and peace in Gujrat. Gujrat is only one of the
state in india which has all growth rates from industry to agriculture in
double digits.
If India will progress, Muslims will not???
From the past few years, Narendra Modi has been steadily
talking about some prominent national issues. Such national issues include the
issue of national security, Falling of economy, terrorism and inexorable
attacks by Pakistan across borders, beheading of Indian soldiers as well as
issues of invasion of Chinese Soldiers into Indian Terrain. Government is
silent of all the above issues.
From the starting, Narendra Modi is hovering the issue of
black money which needed to be bring back as well as gigantic corruption, lack
of economical policies. And he has constantly voiced his worry and criticized
the UPA Government for being mute on the issue of massive intrusion of
Bangladeshis into India.
Only question arises now, “Are these issues not important
for Muslims as it is for Hindus.” If Pakistan or terrorist attacks on India, will
it not harm the Muslims and Hindus both of India. Is it not that in terror
attacks, Hindus and Muslims both will die? Is talking against terrorism anti-Muslim?
Is it not that corruption, unemployment and economic slow down affecting Muslims
and Hindus both?
Media and Critics should move on-
All the religions are the integral part of India. Narendra
Modi’s “India’s first” slogan is gradually reach out of Gujrat too. According
to Maulana Mehmood Madani former Vice Chancellor of Deoband
“Every One had to accept that Muslims of Gujarat are far better off in terms of economic prosperity than Muslims of the rest of the country. And Modi made it happen without any appeasement politics.”
“Every One had to accept that Muslims of Gujarat are far better off in terms of economic prosperity than Muslims of the rest of the country. And Modi made it happen without any appeasement politics.”
