Bharatiya Muslim Mahila Aandolan asks where's sabka vishwas, says those sitting in govt must understand that Muslim women also get impacted by lynchings.
The issue of the Muslim quota has the potential to polarise SCs, STs, and OBCs along religious lines in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections. It benefits the BJP.
Speaking at launch of economist Surjit Bhalla’s book, S Jaishankar also highlights Gen Z’s engagement with ‘reel culture’, which has 'promoted awareness, created interest in many subjects'.
Germany’s erstwhile Christian Democratic Union govt, led by Angela Merkel, prevented sale of small arms to police forces in states they perceived had ‘bad human rights record’.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
Accusing Modi and believing that Modi can stop lynching is like believing that Rahul Gandhi can defeat Modi. So far politicising the lynchings has not helped in stopping people repeating this crime. In fact politicisation of lynchings is aggravating the situation as it gives the culprits the publicity they need to continue repeating the crime.
For a moment think this way: Can Modi stop rape crimes? Can Modi stop murders?
Those who demand Modi to stop this or that, Are they really serious in achieving their objectives?
Modi can certainly make new laws, can change existing laws, can appeal to people and may do one or two additional things. That’s it. On one side liberals accuse Modi as dictator but they also expect him to behave like a dictator in respect of lynchers. This in again not going to work.
Lynching is a social crime and it has be dealt with at two fronts: 1) Law and order 2) Hindu – Muslim relations. Law and order is the responsibility of local administrations. Improving Hindu – Muslim relations is the joint responsibility of social activists, religious leaders and the governments. If they don’t work together and instead play politics, lynchings would continue in one form or the other.
For the Muslim community to feel shaken up and deeply insecure about Lynchings is only natural. A time has come for all Indians of good conscience to share their pain, say Not in my name.
