Sardar Patel - "Terrorist" - Hurray Secularism

Muslim Political Council of India has said that Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel was a terrorist. Reason: He annexed Hyderabad forcibly and had deliberately allowed the massacre of Muslims in post-partition era when he was the Home Minister of India. Not only this, the Muslim outfit has demanded that present Home Minister Shivraj Patil should also be tried and declared a terrorist for his biased approach on Muslim terrorists.

“Sardar Patel was responsible for all the riots after partition, for lakhs of Muslims who were killed in the riots. He deliberately allowed them to be killed. He was a terrorist,” said Taslim Rahmani, chief of Muslim Political Council — a Muslim outfit formed in 2001 and registered in 2006. It has about 33 members and small units in most of the Muslim dominated areas of the country.

Rahmani had made similar comments about Patel on Monday while addressing the Muslim clerics meet in Azamgarh. He had said that Nathuram Godse was the first terrorist of Independent India and Patel the second one. “I stand by my comment. Besides, Patel issued Government order that Muslims were not faithful so they must not be given important positions in Government jobs. He acted against Muslim community, which as per the widely perceived definition of terrorism is a terrorist activity,” said Rahmani.

He went on to state that even Shivraj Patil is a terrorist as he has been deliberately concealing facts about the involvement of extremist Hindu outfits in terrorist activities. “The Home Minister pronounced the Muslims caught from Jamia Nagar as terrorists but he has failed to come public on the blasts in Mehrauli and other parts of the country where Hindu outfits are suspected to be involved,” he said.

In a suo motu Press statement, Secretary General of the All India Mili Council Mohammad Manzoor Alam, Secretary, Jamaat-e-Islami Hind among other Muslim groups condemned Rahmani’s views. “It was and deplorable to term Sardar Patel a ‘terrorist’,” read the statement. “He should apologise. One may differ with Patel in opinion, but cannot label him as a terrorist,” added Alam. Jama Masjid’s chief cleric Imam Bukhari said that he did not want to speak about Rahmani or his statements.

p.s - A ray of Hope in this news, J.E.U.I-Hind as always and true to their nationalist background have denounced these idiots. Maybe this is the reason that J.E.U.I-Hind has not able to raise their profile in post Independent India.
