Re: 'That Familiar Stench:From Guruji to Atalji,Masterji to Varun'
by Siddharth Varadarajan,The Hindu,March 24,2009.

Dear Editor,

I am a regular reader of the online edition of The Hindu and Mr.Varadarajan's articles in international magazines such as Counterpoint and have been appreciative of his independent journalistic viewpoints.

I was therefore surprised that The Hindu, noted for its sobriety, should have published the above mentioned article. It is shockingly hateful both of Varun Gandhi,the BJP,the Sangh Parivar etc.

It would seem that Mr.Varadarajan has lost his bearings.

The liberal media in general have acted as judge and executioner of the hapless young politician Varun Gandhi without giving him a fair hearing. He has repeatedly said that the tape that showed him making the alleged 'hate speech' against minorities was doctored. Indeed, independent investigations have affirmed that there are 17 cuts.It is unfortunate too  that the Election Commission did not bother to have it examined by forensic experts.

Mr. Varadarajan as a responsible journalist could have waited till those tests were done. At the very least he could have done some investigative journalism at Pilibhit to check out the serious situation there of infiltration from the Nepalese border of arms and fake currency, the victimisation of the minority community there(the Hindus) etc.

Instead he has joined the ranks of the liberal media who have ignored the communalism of senior Congress leaders such as Imran Kidwai whose speech at Chandigarh on March 15,2009, was quite public and quite communal.
He has been quoted as saying:

"I regret not being a mufti.Had I been one, I would have issued just one fatwa that going with the BJP amounts to committing kufr."

It is reported that Congress officials and even a Union Minister were present at this speech.

The liberal media has not made much of this. And Mr. Varadarajan has gone a step further in indicting all of the Sangh Parivar, including Atal Bihari Vajpayee in his list of offensive characters whose stench is unbearable(Ironically, Bollywood film idol Shah Ruk Khan,quite a balanced person, has stated recently how much he admired Vajpayee).

Such hateful views from a responsible journalist are unbecoming.

And I am sure I speak for many Indians in the Diaspora when I say that Varun Gandhi has done us all proud by saying that he is an Indian,a Hindu and a Gandhi in equal measure.

Mr. Varadarajan is not a Gandhi but he is certainly an Indian and a Hindu and one wonders why he goes out of his way to pillory Varun for such sentiments.

Sincerely,

OT
Riots case: Gujarat minister quits after court cancels bail

"The Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigation Team, in its affidavit, had said that according to some 15 witnesses, Kodnani was present in the Naroda area and was instigating the rioters. Deposing before the SIT, the witnesses had said they saw Kodnani distributing kerosene to the rioters, which she had brought in her vehicle."

For an anti-Hindu criminal syndicate, it should be child's play to get "15 witnesses" (or even 1500 "witnesses") to give false evidence.

The happenings in our country are extremely disturbing. Rajeev, on 23 March, you posted a blog "Anantnag to rename as Islamabad - What our Media failed to Highlight". In the context of what is being done to the Gujarat ministers, Varun Gandhi, et al, it won't be long before New Delhi will be renamed as Islamabad. Any ideas how to fight this TERROR?
