The delegation of International Religious
Freedom wanted to visit India and inquire the incidents of growing atrocities on Muslims, Christians and rise of
religious intolerance by the Hardliner Saffron groups. Minorities basically Muslims and Christians
don't have religious freedom in Modi ruled India. Indian Government denied visa to the
delegation from the United States, agency monitoring international religious
freedom. Mr. Robert George US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) chairman was deeply disappointed from
Indian Government for denial of visa.
The denial of visa to US delegation
raised several questions on the Modi administration and open the wrist on the
claim of Modi Administration about the presence of religious tolerance in India
even after BJP come to power. Fact is
that after BJP come to power religious intolerance increased in India drastically.
People of India always criticize Pakistan
and other Muslim nations about the stiff Islamic rules and minorities are in
trouble in Pakistan, Saudi. It is very
amazing that countries those who are supposed to be the worst offenders of
religious freedom, including Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, provided visa to the US delegation
for religious freedom but Modi Government could not. This proves the presence of the religious
intolerance in India and faint the claim of Modi Government about presence of religious
tolerance.
If Governments like Pakistan and Saudi
can provide visa to international delegation and welcomed to the delegation for
international religious freedom to inquire the cases of religious intolerance
is wrong, though claim of India and other countries that minorities are not
safe in these places one would expect that the Indian government would allow
more transparency than have these nations, and would welcome the opportunity to
convey its views directly to USCIRF.”
After BJP come to power in India and
other states incidents of religiously motivated and frequent communal violence
have increased the same has been observed by USCIRF in its report which was
submitted in the year 2015.
The democratic country like India is
under the clutches of fascist Saffron forces. There is genuine reason for alarm
on the incidents of Patiala House Court where some lawyers manhandled to the
Journalists and pleaders on the pretext of India love after the JNU
incidents. All the lawyers were
supporters of BJP and followers of terrorist Sangh Pariwar. At Latur Maharashtra a Muslim Police Officer
was thrashed severely and forced to hold up saffron flag with slogan Jai Shivaji Jai Bhavani. In UP the incident of Dadari where one Muslim 52-year-old
Mohammad Akhlaq Saifi man was lynched
because of the allegation he consumed beef, and in High Court Premises one Muslim lawyer Salman
Khan was gun down by police and another one was injured severely because both
were engaged to plead in favour of bomb blast activists. A Muslim couple was brutally
beaten up in a train by seven members of the Gauraksha Samiti at Khirkiya
railway station, in Harda district of Madhya Pradesh on suspicion of carrying
beef. Right-wing activists
asked the Muslim couple 43-year-old Mohammed Hussain and his 38-year-old wife
Naseema Bano to open their luggage and when they objected ,the group forcibly
searched their luggage beaten the couple and thrown the wife of Mohammed Hussain out of
train. Whether it is the incident of cancellation of concert by
Ghulam Ali recently at Mumbai with the activists of Shiv Sena and more
menacingly, dousing in black paint on the face of organiser.
There is no freedom of speech remained in
India after hardliner BJP captured the power of Indian Parliament, the
terrorists and hardliner Hindu groups can thrashed, kill or tortured to anyone
even to the police on the pretext of India love or one who exposed them.
The basic reason for the refusal of visa to the international
delegation of religious freedom is that Modi did not want to expose himself and
Saffron groups being partial and religious intolerance is present in India
after BJP regain power.
The alarm bells are ringing; India needs
to reaffirm its commitment to pluralism and diversity.
