Drama On Ram Setu
Updated on 16 September, 2007
1. Who made the affidavit and why not the responsible persons are punished?2. If this not at part of the cultural ministry, why two ASI officials are suspended?3. The ASI works under Cultural Ministry. So if there is anything wrong at ASI level, is not this the negligence of Cultural Ministry?4. Before denying the existence of Ram and Ram Setu, does the UPA govt have any proof to produce in favour of its stand?If the UPA govt didnot have any proof in favour of non existence of Ram and Ram setu, why the affidavit was created with this statement.Before quoting this in the controversial affidavit, why didnot the UPA govt taken a not that it might hurt the sentiments of Hindu community. Whereas in comparison to other communities, the UPA govt takes lots of pros and cons before going in public. And if something goes wrong, despite any further delay, remarks come out from high level. We can take the example of recent Derra Sachha Sauda issue.In the current controversial affidavit issue, the UPA govt awakes after 2 days and suspended 2 ASI officials. It seems the UPA govt thinks this is the best they can do with the Hindu community after hurting the community publicly. It is well know that Ram and Ramayan is a part of our ethics and moral values. Even today in our daily life we quote example of Ram. A father wants a son like Ram. A wife wants a husband like Ram. We want a friend like Ram and this is endless. This is part of our culture, our emotion, our humanity and our ethics.And the UPA govt didnot take time to hurt the sentiments of Hindu. However if this were a fault, the UPA govt should have been apologized publicly like the UPA govt hurt publicly. One questions also arises, the UPA govt suspended 2 officials and ordered a probe in the issue. Why the cultural minister is not taking her own responsibility. It was Cultural Minister's fault for ASI comes directly under Cultural Ministry. And if UPA govt thinks its a big mistake which hurt the large Hindu community, why is the UPA govt not apologizing nor directing Cultural Minister to resign on moral grounds? On the other hand the UPA govt is asking opposition not to politicise this issue. Can govt tell why it is creating double standards with Hindu community? If it were related to any minor communities, there could have been a very prompt response. The example is Derra Sachha Sauda early this year.UPA govt should reconsider its stand with Hindu Community for it might be a major mistake of UPA in coming times.
