Abysmal Stupidity

The plummeting Indian Politics knew no bounds. 

Like we do not have so many embarrassing moments enough, it is still going strong and bad. Derogatory remark is almost the mother tongue of these so called ‘politicians’. 

The latest *infamous* person added to this list is Varun Gandhi. In a public speech, he unnecessarily irked the anger of Muslims by saying: 

“If anyone raises a finger towards Hindus, then I swear on the Gita that I will cut that hand.”

“This is not a hand; it is the power of the Lotus. It will cut the head of the Muslims.”

“When my cousin who is seven-eight years old, saw Samajwadi Party's candidate's photo, she said Bhaiya (big brother), I didn't know that Osama Bin Laden is fighting from your constituency. “

As expected, Varun Gandhi is going to deny that he did not say this. That this case was politically motivated to tarnish the image of his as well as his party. And as expected, like the rest of the politicians, he will be given Leeway to exit only to say more *infamous* words, because, of course, ‘Law exists only for poor and middle-class people who cannot have monetary or political influence’.

Unfortunately, religion has become a strong weapon of hold for these politicians. You say anything in favor of one religion you get hundred claps. You say anything against another religion, you get thousand claps. In this case, for example, Varun pretends as if he is the representative for all Hindus, and also, as if he will safeguard Hindus against *anything*. 

Here is an assignment to you Mr. Varun Gandhi – ‘the Hindu saviour’. Since majority of fatal attacks on Hindus in India come from outside, there is a much better thing you can do for saving ‘Hindus’ instead of merely talking. Pack your bags. Go to the India border and let your action speak!
