Outgoing Vice President Hamid Ansari slammed the government indirectly stating that a feeling of unease and a sense of insecurity is prevailing among the Muslims in the country. The second five-year term of Hamid Ansari ended recently. Ansari also said that he had discussed the issues of intolerance with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his cabinet colleagues. Ansari also described the questioning of Indianness of citizens as a “disturbing thought.”
Afternoon Voice asked many readers to know whether they are really feeling insecure in modern India after 70 years of independence?
Wasim Khan a student said, “Many Muslims feel that something has changed in India over the last two years or so. And they worry that these changes, while skulking at first, will eventually transform the environment they live in forever.”
Rehmani Group president Jameer Khan said, “We have appealed in court for special helpline for Muslims. These days they are randomly attacked and killed. Such disasters are happening from past two years. This is what Muslims have to face in our own country after 70 years of independence.”
Anis Ahmed, NEC member of Popular Front stated, “The ideology of Hindutva, which is being taught in every Shakha of RSS, is the reason behind atrocities in the name of patriotism. The government should adopt secular values of our country and treat all citizens as equal”.
Chairman of Popular Front KM Shareef emphasized the current situation of the country. He stated, “The road to power for the BJP was made easy by the division and disunity among the secular parties. Since the BJP has come to power, it has openly unleashed its true agenda of hate. The silence of the government towards attacks on Muslims, minorities and Dalits confirms their hidden agenda.”
“If you think only RSS is hate monger than you are wrong, what about the Pandit Nehru and Congress party? They never did justice with Muslims, Dalits and Adivasi and other minorities,” said Waman Mishram, National President, BAAMCEF.
Ravi Nair, Director, SAHRDC said, “The ‘RSS is a group of rumourmongers and they can’t survive without rumourmongering. We should be prepared to send them back to Nagpur in 2019.Our intelligence agencies are controlled by RSS and it’s the need of the hour to make security agencies accountable to the parliament.”
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leader Indresh Kumar said, “There were no takers for former Vice President Hamid Ansari’s recent “insecurity among Muslims” remark even within the community. I have one request to him (Ansari) and people like him who feel that Muslims are insecure, they should tell the name of the country where Muslims are secure and they should go and live in that nation where they feel secure”.
“Our ex-vice president already shared Muslims concern with our PM. RSS thinks PM needs their advice on this. Majority of RSS neither listens to our PM nor do follow what Bhagwad Gita or vedas says. Banning RSS is the solution to make India a secure place for all the people,” said avid reader Mansoor Shaikh.
“Mr Ansari has raised a valid point, which needs to be responded logically in the context of recent vigilantism – not by running him down personally which is the only strategy that the organizations at the periphery and within the Government seem to be doing. And it is a pity that the current VP was also drawn into the slanging match. Mr Naidu should remember that he has resigned from the party – And now holds a constitutional post,” said social monk Rutuja Pandit.
