–Pradakshina
Just as India was on the cusp of successfully flattening the curve in the war against corona pandemic, the disaster of Tablighi Jamat struck as a much larger venomous virus across the country. People were shocked and are unanimously condemning the rapid spread of virus by Tablighis even in newer and remote areas. Just then, the pseudo- intellectual crowd, using their poisonous pen has given the Tablighis a protective sheath in their public letter, camouflaging it as an attack on `religious freedom’. It strikes us anew as to how this pseudo-crowd goes against the rules of nature and natural justice. The same red brigade which supported the Jinnah mindset during the Partition of the country, have placed huge obstacles every step of the way in the life of the nation since then. How is it communal fanaticism to call out and condemn the dastardly acts of the Markaz tablighis who entered the country on tourist visas and violated visa norms to engage in religious preaching all over the country, while also spreading the corona virus physically everywhere? Why is a communal color being given to the act of questioning a particular organization?
In Patiala in Punjab, a Sikh community person cut the hand of a policeman with his kirpan for blocking his way during lockdown, neither did the Sikh community rise in defense of this offender, nor did they claim it as an `attack on our Sikh community’. Earlier when the Govt has taken several actions against Asaram Bapu, Gurmeet RamRahim etc, did the Hindus project it as an attack on the Hindu community? Some media organizations in the Telugu states are behaving mischievously and recklessly. The majority community is living in fright, with the nefarious activities of the Haryali and Tukde Tukde gangs. The people who meekly submitted when public mikes blared threatening messages in the majority community localities that severe action will be taken if they celebrate Ugadi New year and Srirama Navami are culprits in your eyes?
Injected with the contagious virus of `hypocrisy’, the `pseudo-intellectuals’ have brazenly attempted to kill the Truth. The organizations which announced that `our religion is more important to us, we won’t listen to or follow Govt orders’, and who then went ahead to infect the entire country with virus are more precious to you? Lakhs and millions of majority community people who go to temples during this festival period have completely avoided visiting temples, and who are now cooperating, seeing God in humanity, and serving the poor, the doctors and medical staff, the sanitary workers and the Police are being called communal fanatics? And the people who are attacking doctors and medical staff, appearing naked to the female nursing staff, throwing urine-filled bottles in hospital wards, spitting wherever they are at everything in view, are peaceful people wishing harmony?
Like the blinded with eyes, you who cannot see the truth and statistical data, who stand as iron armor to shield fanatic organizations are intellectuals, poets, writers and editors! How long will you sing these deathly dirges? Stop these outdated ideologies to protect the offenders and live without hypocrisy! The nation has long recognized your betrayal, the way you are entrenched in media supporting the vested interests and culprits for personal benefits; and also recognized your helping hand to hatch `red-eggs’. Now it’s entirely upto you!
