Last Sunday the 18th December five brothers and a sister from the Every Home Crusade for Christ were visiting the ISI hospital(Gov Hospital) at Indira Nagar near Ulsoor, Bangalore and giving out tracts and booklets as they usually do in other hospitals. One of the patient was angry and tried to argue with them. The brothers said to him,"if you do not like to read the books please let us go".As they continued the visit, they saw him making phone calls. When these brothers came out of the hospital, there were around forty people seems to be from the RSS stopped them and manhandled all of them except the lady who was in the group. The brothers names are as follows Paul Santosh, Chandru, Prasad, Chandran and Manjulal Devi. The group who attacked these brothers called the Police from Indira Nagar and the the SO Mr Swamy arrived at the spot with other police men. Mean while the local M. L. A. Mr Ragu(BJP) came and was insisting the Doctor in charge to file a complaint that these people were distributing the literature without his permission. All the five member team from the IEHCFC were taken to the Police station at 6 pm. The group that attacked the team filed an FIR stating that these people were distributing literature that were causing religious sentiments. They also found some promotional leaflets and a receipt book from one of the members of the group who straight away came from a worship service where he was sent to promote the ministry.

The violence that rocked the West Bengal capital and prompted the government to impose curfew in the city and call Army for flag march was one of the most violent incidents in the metro during the last fifteen years. ---------- [3] From: kashif-ul-huda <kaaashif@gmail.com Date: Thu Nov 22, 2007 Subject: How the Muslim political movement is killed in India How the Muslim political movement is killed in India<http://www.twocircles.net/2007nov22/how_muslim_political_movement_killed_i\ ndia. html <http://www.twocircles.net/2007nov22/how_muslim_political_movement_killed_india.\ html *Kashif-ul-Huda, TwoCircles. net* Contrary to popular belief, Muslim leadership does exist in India. They make their presence known by street protests, writing articles in newspapers and lobbying ministers and government officials for local or national issues concerning the Muslims of India. Nandigram, where a number of Muslims that were killed raped, and their houses destroyed, has become the latest rallying cry of Muslim leadership of India. Everyone in India, from Mumbai to Jammu to Indian Muslims of the US has shown outrage on how Muslims can be killed with the collusion of party in power and local administration. The most shocking part for a community that has seen all this before was that it happened in a state ruled by secular parties. ----------- [4] From: syed rahman <surahman2000@yahoo.com Date: Thu Nov 22, 2007 Subject: Violence in Kolkata, unfortunate, deplorable Violence in Kolkata, unfortunate, deplorable By Syed Ubaidur Rahman http://www.khabrein.info/index.php? option=com_content&task=view&id=8989&Itemid=8\ 8 The violence in Kolkata Wednesday should have never happened. And the worst thing is that it was caused by a trivial issue like Taslima Nasreen, is most unfortunate and deplorable. Had the violence been caused by the continued oppression of common people and Muslims in Nandigram, it was understandable as the violence in Nandigram has stretched for several months and people most affected by reign of terror of CPI-M goons cannot bear the terror tactics of the CPI-M cadres for eternity. ---------- [5] From: Pradip Kumar Datta <pradip200@yahoo.com Date: Thu Nov 22, 2007 Subject: Arrogant Buddha should go, says Jamiat Arrogant Buddha should go, says Jamiat Sheela Bhatt in New Delhi November 21, 2007 23:17 IST Last Updated: November 22, 2007 08:47 IST "We want the Centre to invoke Article 356 in West Bengal. We also want Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee to go. He is an arrogant and stubborn leader. Let a sincere leader come as the chief minister. Please remove him. The United Progressive Alliance government should take action to send message to the poor people that they care," says Maulana Mahmood Madani, All India general secretary, Jamiat-ul-Ulema-e-Hind. It is apparent that in West Bengal, the minority support to Communist Party of India-Marxist's ideology of "secularism" was shaking as the Army was called in to the streets of Kolkata. The city came to a halt after protests hit the streets against the Nandigram violence and to press the demand for cancelling Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen's visa. Since last year, Jamiat has been leading the agitation, along with NGOs in Nandigram, because large numbers of local Muslims are supporters of Jamiat. While recounting the horrific violence in Nandigram in second week of November, Madani said, "In Gujarat, violence was spread out, but here it was concentrated. Hundreds of our mothers and sisters were raped in daylight and that too, on the roads. CPM workers destroyed their homes. Nobody has been able to enter the area. I must say it's a jungle raj in Nandigram." He refused to give any details of rape cases, citing, "We are not allowed to go in the area." "Our leaders were helpless. The West Bengal police was with CPM cadres and helped them enter the area. Our only weapon was the media. We could not do anything because we did not have weapons. Hundreds of women and children are in camps today. I am not at all talking about Muslims only, I am talking about poor farmers." He said, "Today a Rajya Sabha member was telling me that Buddhadeb has made a Gujarat out of West Bengal. I do agree with the view. Some murderers regret the crime and some feel proud of what they have done. Buddhadeb and Narendra Modi are proud of what they have done. Buddhadeb is saying that the killings are a fitting reply to whatever happened in the last 11 months. Buddhadeb and Modi both have no regrets for violence and that makes them similar to each other. Let both of them regret, let them say sorry and let both of them correct the mistakes we will not protest and peace will prevail." "The issue of Nandigram will not die down, it will become a national issue. The national policy and debate of the Special Economic Zone's issue has changed due to Nandigram," said Madani. While commenting on the violence in Kolkata, Madani, who is also a member of the Rajya Sabha, said though the protests are organised by the All India Minority Forum, Jamiat is fully supportive of the cause to fight against writings of Taslima Nasreen. West Bengal has given a refuge to the controversial author. The All India Minority Forum has specifically formed a group to take the issue head-on and they want to see that Taslima is deported out of India. Madani said that four days ago all Muslim organisations had taken out a rally to press for the demand to deport her. Madani defended the violent protests staged by Muslims and said, "This is not enough at all! More aggressive protests are needed against her. The issue is not Taslima, issue is that thought that is hurting the largest minority of India under the pretext of freedom of speech. This is the conspiracy to spread riots all over India." He even clubbed the case of painter M F Husain and Taslima. He said, "Both creative artistes are crossing lakshman rekha and hurting people's sentiments." Madani said, "We do understand one should have freedom of ideas, freedom of speech and words. But, there is always a limit to it because you can't have freedom to hurt others. How can I have freedom to burn the Indian flag and tear it to pieces? We can debate over the issue, but criticism has its limits. Taslimaji may be a good writer and a good woman but her writings are hurtful. Our religious sentiments are her target and she crosses her limits everytime. When someone crosses the lakshman rekha, he is a tyrant." Madani said Taslima can't go scot-free because she had hurt the feelings of Indian Muslims in the name of her "own freedom". He said, "The West Bengal government has welcomed her as a guest. While sitting in India, she has not stopped her old ways. The media is also giving her too much boost. I have freedom to say abusive things against Shri Ramchandraji, Shri Krishnaji but my religion does not allow me to speak against someone's sacred deity." He said, "Both, Taslima and MF Husain are misusing their freedom. They have no business to disturb India's social harmony. The government must take action to silent them or punish them." On Nandigram, Madani said, "Jamiat is not against the Communist parties. But, we also believe that the Communist party destroyed the industries of Bengal because of their anti-capitalist policies. Now, they are blocking development of farmers and labours with their policy to favour market economy. This is a great shift from one extreme to another extreme. This is not acceptable to us. When we speak about Nandigram, we are not talking of Muslims who have been more affected by it, but we are talking of all affected sections." He added, "Jamiat is in forefront of Nandigram protests because we believe that a middle path in economic policy is the only way out." http://www.rediff.com/news/2007/nov/21sheela.htm ----------- |
