Sanction to prosecute Kanhaiya: Kejriwal positions AAP as second line of Sangh Parivar - Inquilab Zindabad

The signals were already there.
The decision of the Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party government to accord sanction to prosecute Left leader and former JNU president Kanhaiya Kumar under the colonial sedition charge has only confirmed it.
He has positioned his party not just at Right of the Centre but also as second line of the Sangh Parivar.
This positioning fits perfectly in the framework of Kejriwal having emerged as the leader from Anna Hazare led movement against corruption subtly designed by the Sangh sympathetic Delhi based Vivekananda Institute.
The controversial law of sedition is back into focus as the dissenters are being charged under this legislation enacted by the British rulers. There is no such law in UK, the country that framed it to rule over India. The law is a legacy of slavery of India. This law suits the rulers and reinforces the perception that the Indians continue to be dictated by the same mentality.
Kejriwal did not intervene or even react when the goons entered the Jawaharlal Nehru University or the police attacked Jamia Milia University library. The list is long.
That he was catering the fundamentalist Hindu and anti-Muslim sensibility became evident during the Delhi Assembly elections in which he received massive mandate. Despite the fact that he avoided Shaheen Bagh, the symbol of protest against the discriminatory CAA,  the Muslims voted for him to defeat the blatantly divisive BJP. However, in the process, the country has seen the emergence of another, what can be termed as, the Hindu leader.
The latest example is that of riots in Delhi.
He refused to intervene.
The issue here is not that of the Delhi police being under the Union home ministry.
The chief minister has a moral authority and that authority balances the absence of police powers. He could have rushed to the spot rather than just tweeting. He is equally to be blamed for the situation in Delhi. At least this could have stopped the police in the initial stage from being complicit with the saffron rioters of which there is now ample proof.
The issue of Kanhaiya Kumar is part of the same narrative. AAP spokesperson and MLA Raghav Chadha was heard defending this action saying the AAP government had always provided sanction to every case. This case, however, is different. This case is part of the broader Sangh design.
It is apparent that Kejriwal is eyeing the space that has been vacated by the Congress in the country by behaving as a soft Hindu party. The Congress for years also functioned in this very framework and was known as the Hindu Congress till 1947. Congress had used communalism as a tool while for the BJP, it is a policy. The Congress fell into the trap in Delhi by supporting AAP to stop the BJP onslaught. In the process, it is the Congress that stands decimated in the Capital.
This positioning, however, would become a hurdle for the party in Punjab where AAP has sizeable presence. The massive mandate in Delhi had given the hope of revival of the party to its leaders in Punjab. Kejriwal yesterday appointed former MLA Jarnail Singh as incharge of Punjab. However, it would be difficult for him as a leader of the Hindu party to re-occupy the space that the party has lost due to factionalism.
AAP had been projecting itself as a non-ideological party wedded only to governance.
Not anymore. AAP has taken ideological position by sanctioning prosecution of Kanhaiya Kumar.
Inquilab Zindabad.

Sinister and deep design to divide Sikhs and Hindus in Canada needs to be exposed

  Sinister and deep design to divide Sikhs and Hindus in Canada needs to be exposed Ground Zero Jagtar Singh Chandigarh: Let us decode deeper design in what apparently seems to be deliberate distortion of facts in case of the so-called Sikh-Hindu clash in Canada to project it as confrontation between the two communities. The Indian media and the establishment gave it out as a communal conflict and attack on a Mandir, the Hindu place of worship. Let us first put the matter straight from the evidence available in the form of videos relating to every dimension of this narrative and the statements. It was neither a Sikh-Hindu clash nor an attack on the Hindu temple per se. It was a protest by the SFJ activists against the Indian consulate organizing a camp there. Such protests have been held against the consulate outside the gurdwaras too as per the record. The saner statement issued by the Hindu Federation of November 4 is very important in the interpretation of this narra...

History seems to be ominously repeating itself to drive Punjab into religio-political minefield again

  History ominously repeating itself to drive Punjab into religio-political minefield again Ground Zero Jagtar Singh This headline is not rooted in some sort of pessimism. The signals are loud and clear. The onus to counter such signals is on the Punjab government. History in Punjab seems to be repeating itself to push Punjab into yet another cycle of what can be termed as the avoidable toxic situation. That cycle has now impacted even geo-political relations of India with some countries, especially Canada where the Sikhs are settled in sizeable numbers. In the context of the Sikhs as a globalized people, it is pertinent to mention that even in United Kingdom House of Commons, the representation of the Sikhs is now in double digit after the recent elections. Punjab is still impacted by the tremors of religio-political   dynamics that got triggered in 1978 with the Sikh-Nirankari clash on the Baisakhi on April 13 at Amritsar, the religious capital of the Sikhs. ...

Two binaries emerging in Punjab’s multi-polar polls where last 72 hours are always crucial

  Two binaries emerging in Punjab’s multi-polar polls where last 72 hours are always crucial   Ground Zero Jagtar Singh Chandigarh, May 28: The inter-play of socio-political forces in Punjab in the run up to the June 1 Lok Sabha elections is unprecedented. This is besides that established fact that the religio-political dynamics of this state has always been different from the rest of India, even when the boundaries of this country touched the Khyber Pass connecting with Afghanistan. It is for the first time that so many main political players are in the fray independently thereby making the contest multi-polar. Then there are two other eruptions in the electoral matrix making the multi-polar contest all the more interesting, and also important for future dynamics of not only Punjab but also India as the roots of this phenomena are not in too distant a past but in not so recent period of militancy. It is after decades that Punjab is going to the polls without a...
