Say you are a Dravidan and hang your head in shame

DRAVIDAN ENRU SOLLADA; THALAI KUNINDHU NILLADA!

The state wide violence unleashed by the DMK cadres with the alleged connivance of the state police, under the leadership of Ministers, Mayors and MLAs, on the instigation of a senior cabinet minister with the knowledge of his party leader and Chief Minister, is most condemnable.

 This state-sponsored violence was unleashed, despite the withdrawal of the statement by Ramvilas Vedanti, former BJP MP from Ayodhya .The alliance parties (PMK, DK, VSK, Congress & Communists), which in no time condemned the attack on the house of the CM’s daughter in Bangalore, consequent to his insensitive & denigrating remarks on Lord Rama, didn’t bother to condemn the violence perpetrated on the offices & residences of the BJP / VHP / RSS and Hindu Munnani leaders and that shows their total disregard to democratic principles and that has shown their lack of courage too.

 The central government, which lost no time in condemning the Bangalore incident (surprisingly no loss of sleep this time), kept quiet on the DMK’s statewide violence and instead, the UPA Chairperson Sonia supported the violence in the name of “fight against the communal forces”. When compared with the Chief Minister’s insensitive diatribes against Lord Rama, the silly statement issued by Ramvilas Vedanthi, a non-entity in Tamil Nadu, pales in to insignificance. When one can comment on a “Saami” (God), what is wrong in one commenting on an “Aasami” (Man)?

The TMMK (Tamil Nadu Muslim Munnetra Kazhagam) leader Jawahirulla’s comments against the BJP & RSS are unwarranted and his unnecessary interference in an issue involving DMK, BJP and Ramayana must be condemned in the strongest of terms. He had ridiculed the statement of Ramvilas Vedanti, which was misreported as a ‘fatwa’ by the media. He must be reminded that he belongs to the community, which issues ‘fatwas’ at anything & everything and that there are hundreds of fatwas still alive in this country, ranging from Salman Rushdie’s case to Taslima Nasree’s case. One wonders what business he has got to do with this issue and what right & authority he has got to comment on BJP! Incidentally, Jawahirulla was attached with Al Umma and he was a compatriot of Al Umma leader Basha along with the present TMMK president Hyder Ali during the attack on RSS headquarters in Chennai during 1992, in which 11 Swayamsevaks lost their precious lives. Jawahirulla & Hyder Ali left out with Basha (a planned move) and started the TMMK before the Coimbatore Blasts, as they anticipated the ban on Al Umma after the blasts.

The DMK & its allies are hyping the worthless SSCP as a project of unimaginable development in the name of Tamil & welfare of Tamils, while actually it is expected to benefit only a handful of ‘Dravidian’ leaders and their ilk . Instead of leading the people of the state along the line “Tamizhan enru sollada, Thalai nimirndhu nillada!” (Say you are a Tamil and keep your head high), the DPA leaders are misleading the people along the line “Dravidan enru sollada, Thalai kunindhu nillada!” (Say you are a Dravidan and hang your head in shame).

The fact of the matter is that, the central government has understood the inevitability of shelving the useless project due to various reasons, but the state government could not digest the fact and hence is venting it’s purported anger against the central government on the BJP and other Hindu organizations! If the state government accepts the center’s decision without any protest, it will lose its face and the misled people will cry foul and hence this drama.

 The end result is that, this SSCP – Rama Sethu issue has made the people of this country (both believers & non-believers) to indulge in “Rama Namasmarana” that is thinking of Lord Rama and chanting his name, on a daily basis. “Ramlila” has started and very soon the people of this country in general and DMK / DK in particular will realize that Lord Rama is not an imaginary character, but the ‘Avatar’ of the Almighty God!
