| Now,
coming to the so called charges against the Hindu Rashtra: Rajiv
Gandhi for example, said the cry of Hindu Rashtra will give rise to
similar other cries like the Christian Rashtra in the northeast,
Muslim Rashtra in Kashmir, Sikh Rashtra in Punjab. The CPI too way,
it charge coming from the Congress and Communists only buttress the
case for Hindu Rashtra and boomerang upon the decriers. The public
memory is not so short as to forget that it was the Congress that
had issued an entirely Christian election manifesto during the last
Assembly Election to Mizoram. It had openly declared that if elected
to the power, the Government's policies would be based on the
principle of Bible which, in fine, meant establishing a theocratic
Christian state or in the words of Rajiv Gandhi, a Christian
Rashtra.
And again, it is the Congress which
had been instrumental in introducing and perpetuating Art 370 and
thus enabling Kashmir to virtually convert itself into a Muslim
Rashtra. As for the cry of Khalistan, the propping up of
Bhindranwale, the Sikh holocaust in the wake of Indira Gandhi's
murder and unscrupulous political trickery provoking Sikh - non -
Sikh divide in Punjab - all these are the handiwork of the Congress
leaders, past and present, which have continuously fed the fires of
Khalistani separatism.
