“Processions taken out all over the country on Hindu religious festivals such as New Year, Ram Navami, Hanuman Jayanti, etc were brutally attacked by Jihadis. These were not Hindu-Muslim riots, but were well-planned attacks by Jihadis who have a terrorist mentality. No action has been taken against the elected representatives of the ruling party in Rajasthan and other Jihadis involved in the attack at Karauli, despite the media and people lodging complaints. In fact, the State Government is trying to protect the Jihadis. The Government and Court listen to only those who strongly retaliate. Therefore, till the majority Hindu population in this country doesn’t retaliate appropriately and oppose such attacks, these will continue to take place”, said Advocate Motisingh Rajpurohit (practicing in the Rajasthan High Court) while participating in the Special Online Discussion organised by Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) on the topic – ‘Jihadi attacks on Ram Navami Yatra across the Country’.
Mr Ishwarprasad Khandelwal (National President of ‘Lashkar-e-Hind’) said that whenever the Jihadi mentality crosses limits amongst Muslims, such incidents take place. Such incidents are not only taking place against Hindus in India, but are taking place even in Islamic countries such as Pakistan, Afghanistan, Palestine. “Falling prey to such a Jihadi mentality, we gave away Pakistan; yet, these people are not ready to live peacefully. The secular media, political parties and organisations are nurturing these Jihadi tendencies; therefore, it is difficult to stop them in a democratic system, and direct military action is required to be taken against them”, he added.
Advocate Nilesh Sangolkar (Convener of ‘Hindu Vidhidnya Parishad’) said that whatever happened in 1990 in Kashmir, is happening now in Karauli in Rajasthan, Khargone in Madhya Pradesh and other places all over India. “Hindus need to awaken and be alert to what is happening around them. They need to remember the brilliant and glorious history of our great national leaders and kings. Not running away, but retaliating is the only solution to this problem. It has been our experience that no action is taken against rioters if there is a lack of will on the part of the Government. Complaints should be lodged, letters should be written to the Government, the Right To Information should be used and a legal fight will only create fear in them”, he added.
