The lead report in the latest issue of Organiser by Gautam Sen, titled ‘The Islamic Siege of India’ claims that “India is undergoing outright warfare, with its cities bombed at will and massive infiltration across its borders. The Pakistani rationale for cutting India down to size has rarely faltered since 1947 and echoes a much older Islamic tradition”. “Within India, some mosques and madrasas are the fifth column that provides critical support for the aggression that it is encountering. Their role is to cultivate passive and active support for the Islamic onslaught. It entails ensuring that most Muslims refuse to co-operate in efforts to interdict Islamic terrorists by remaining silent spectators while the murderous bombings continue, provide safe havens in impenetrable Muslim areas for terrorists and a vital element of local manpower to the Pakistani and Saudi agencies engaged in terrorist activities.” He concludes: “The first major Indian city likely to come under the total sway of Islam is Kolkata since its demographics are changing rapidly, with whole areas being abandoned by Hindus and becoming ‘no-go’ Muslim areas. Bangladesh, which is contemptuous of Hindu India as a pushover denies the very notion of infiltration because its Muslims never accepted the legitimacy of the partition settlement. They believe that the Assam, West Bengal that Jinnah originally demanded, should and will belong to the Islamic Republic of Bangladesh. And if Bangladesh is able to frighten Hindu India there is little hope for it in the face of enhanced joint Saudi-Pak subversion that evidence of each Indian retreat is already encouraging.”

J&K on the brink

A report titled “Jammu confronts separatists” by M.D. Nalpat focuses on the unrest in Jammu. He writes: : “Although the Congress Party won most of its assembly seats by promising an administration that would respect all groups, faiths and regions, yet on Sonia Gandhi’s intervention Mufti Sayed was thrust down the throats of moderate Kashmiris as chief minister. He worked to ensure the spread of influence of those favouring jihad, and has been so successful that Kashmir today is where it was in 1988: on the cusp of a jihad. How many innocent lives, how many brave servicemen, will need to be sacrificed to save Kashmir from the peril that is now upon it? ”

Internal insecurity

The editorial in the RSS journal titled “Spare a thought on Independence Day” notes: “The national security advisor M.K. Narayanan makes shocking disclosures on internal security but his government is least bothered about what he discloses. This is the second time we are commenting on Narayanan’s revelations in the last one year because of the seriousness and sensitivity of the issues involved. The UPA government has during its tenure made the country porous by all possible means and as our columnist has analysed in the accompanying piece the country is being threatened by the Islamists to a state of blackmail…”

It adds: “Islamists are not the only problem. Narayanan has from time to time warned about the threat from Maoists, ISI elements, their sleeper cells spread all over and across Bangladesh and Nepal, China helping Pakistan build up bases in the Indian Ocean and also about the terrorists investing heavily in the Indian stock exchange and making huge profit to fund terror operations. Apart from these startling exposes there was hardly any follow-up action on any of these alarming warnings from the government side.”
