Sonia is communal

Dr. Subramanian Swamy

December 2005

‘Today we must be clear that the fundamental truth about

India is that it has a Hindu character and foundation. But
Hindus also must know that being a good Hindu is not
merely going to temple and performing puja but a multi-
dimensional commitment to safeguard the Hindu foundation
of India. Ever since the UPA came to power,it is this Hindu
foundation that is being eroded and devalued, for instance
the arrest of Kanchi seer Swami Jayendra Saraswati on a
bogus murder case. In fact, it is an announcement by anti-
Hindu forces that they can
devalue such an ancient Hindu institution without any
reaction’, said Dr Subramanian Swamy in a seminar, “UPA’s
travel back to pseudo-secularism. Disowning the Indian
roots”, organized by BJP Think Tank in Constitution Club, New
Delhi, recently.

Dr Swamy said the recent declaration by the UPA

government for reservation to Muslims and Dalit Christians
was another assault on the Hindu foundation of India. ‘It is
similar to the separate electorate promised by the British
imperialist to Scheduled Castes. Therefore, patriotic Hindus
must oppose this reservation on the principle that Muslims
and Christians are part of the former ruling class of 1000
years and therefore do not deserve reservation. Reservation
is only for those
classes that have been exploited for centuries’, he observed.

Dr Swamy mentioned in his address that the UPA

government had given a free hand to Christians to convert
but it blocked any attempt by other religions to re-convert
Christians, i.e., Benny Hinn and Ron Watts had been allowed
and treated as state guests even though in their own country
in USA they were under criminal investigation. ‘Similarly,
Israeli rabbis were denied visa by UPA government because
they were coming to India to reconvert Mizo Christians to
Judaism. Mizo Christians are considered lost tribes of Jews.
Similarly again, Article 370 was brought into the Constitution
to preserve the communal composition of Jammu and
Kashmir so that Hindus from the rest of India could not go
freely to Kashmir. But terrorists have been given a free hand
to drive out Hindus and thereby change the communal
composition in favor of the Muslim community’, said Dr
Swamy.

‘Christian and Muslim fundamentalists in India have a clear

agenda as to what to do. But Hindus do not have a clear
agenda to challenge this. We have to recognize that the key
nodal point of the Christian and Muslim fundamentalists is
Sonia Gandhi and our agenda should be drawn up
recognizing this fact’, Dr Swamy maintained.
