Anger born of fear?

In a recent interview Chief Minister of Gujarat, Narendra Modi refused to apolgise for the 2002 communal riots in the state. Instead he challenged," Hang me if I am guilty." Congress fellows have been frothing in their mouths and gnashing their teeth at this simple statement. Probably because not one Congress person has even been found guilty, let alone been hanged, for the crime of inciting the killing of 10,000 Sikhs following the assassination of Indira Gandhi on 31 October 1984, nearly 28 years ago. After more than 2 decades there have been some mealy mouthed apologies and we have been advised " to move on ". They are afraid that this puts the spotlight firmly on how the Congress has been protecting murderers all these years. Corporate Affairs Minister, Veerappa Moily said,"... I think it is highly reprehensible and irresponsible." Law Minister, Salman Khurshid opined that " the courts will decide ". He said," I don't think that we either in the streets can decide or that Modi can take a decision by himself." Pity the Law Minister has forgotten about freedom of speech and a person's right to clear his name of the filthy smear campaign that the Congress has been running for 10 years. The putrid mouth in chief, Digvijay Singh, Congress Secretary General said," Modi is known for his arrogance and his fascist attitude. His functioning is reflected in the breakup of the Gujarat BJP." Oh dear. His habit of spouting filth has made him forget that fascism is an import from Italy and comes from the Italian word " fascismo ". It means a dictatorial style of government where no opposition is tolerated. Surely that typifies the Congress. We hear that 10 Congress MPs have signed a petition to Ms Sonia Gandhi to make her son the Leader of the House, vacated by Mr Pranab Mukherjee. We also hear that ministers belonging to the Nationalist Congress Party will end their " protest leave " having forced the Congress to accept a formal Consultative Committee which will include Ms Sonia Gandhi and Mr Sharad Pawar, leader of the NCP. The NCP is a breakaway from the Congress. Former Prime Ministers such as Morarji Desai, VP Singh, Chandrashekhar and many more all broke away from the Congress. It was the same Mr Singh who blamed Hindus for the Mumbai attacks of 2008 and blamed Hindu terrorists for the murder of Mumbai Anti Terrorism chief, Hemant Karkare. That makes Mr Singh guilty of treason. And treason is a hanging offence in every country in the world. Is the Congress fury born out of terror?
