Amin! Mr. Home Minister

I always believed in collective judgment of more than 600 Million people. Perhaps thats why I never suspected the Intelligence and motive of our ruling class. After all, they were elected by one of the most vibrant democracies.

It was reassuring to learn from our home minister Mr. Patil that Islamic madarsas are seats of social service and that they are not the centre of terrorism. He was speaking as chief guest at the symposium on "Are madarsas viable seats of social service or breeding ground of terrorism". He also added that here knowledge of humanism is being imparted and where human values are being taught.

I being a complete duffer always had different opinion I guess he has more information and knowledge as home minister as my information comes from the communal media in India who has ulterior motive in painting a different picture about
madarsas's. I am not sure whether he was speaking for just India or our neighbors also. As sometime back our friendly neighborhood Dictator had initiated a purge of madarsas's. I am sure some of our friends in neighboring country would be mighty pleased with Mr. Patils opinion.

He also added that there were s
ome violent incidents have taken place in the recent past - in Varanasi, Jama Masjid and in Delhi and Someone must have done that. I am not sure what scale was our Home Minister using. I guess in a country where few thousands die of accident everyday, where does death of few hundred by terrorism matter. Perhaps, thats why he has very anxious of deaths in Lebanon as there fewer people die in road accident. On his comments that someone must have done this, I guess he should be checking with his colleague Arjun singh as they have information that Sangh was involved in bombing of their own headquarter. Or perhaps Laloo may be bigger help as he specialises in Death due to suicide.
