DO-NOTHING UPA
The Sangh Parivar journal continue to target the Union government over Sarabjit Singhs death and the Chinese incursion in eastern Ladakh. The latest edition of the Organiser has both issues on its cover. The death of Singh,it argues,was because of the UPAs diplomatic failure: The spineless character of Congress-led UPA government… has cost dear to the nation. The recent three incidents Chinese incursion in Ladakh,barbaric killing of Indian prisoner Sarabjit Singh in Lahore jail and beheading of our soldier Hem Raj have proved big blot on our diplomacy, the editorial says. It goes on to argue that Delhi failed to exert diplomatic or international pressure on Pakistan to at least respect the Geneva Conventions. It claims these incidents also put a question mark on Indias potential as an emerging global power. As far as the Chinese incursion is concerned,the editorial claims that Chinese troops have intruded into the Indian territory 228 times in 2010,213 times in 2011,234 times in 2012 and 31 times from January to February this year and accuses the UPA of doing nothing.
DIGNITY & SAFETY
In an article,noted educationist J.S. Rajput talks about incidents of crime against women. He notes that the system of governance couldnt create any impact even after the Verma committees report and the follow-up legislation,as practically every day the media reports several instances of cruelty and humiliation inflicted on girls and women. He says gender justice will remain elusive till the system of governance is fully and totally committed to values and sincerely performs the assigned tasks: The problem is to create a functional system that is equipped in skills and attitudes to serve the people. There is no way out than to ensure serious efforts to teach fundamental duties to citizens and official functionaries without delay… Rajput attacks the UPA without naming it: Those in power claim vociferously to be sole inheritors of Gandhian legacy. In reality,they have negated every human and democratic value in public life. When corruption is rampant at the top,it is futile to expect adherence to values and honest performance of duties from others…
MODIS SAINTS
The Sangh weeklies prominently feature Narendra Modis recent visit to Baba Ramdevs ashram in Haridwar. The Organiser report talks about the standing ovation Modi received from the saints,many defining him as a sadhu without saffron and comparing him with Vivekananda: Every saint tried to underline that Modi was elevated to the post of Chief Minister from a son of a tea seller. Everybody eulogised his simplicity. A saint said around 150 years ago,Ramakrishna Paramhansa called Narendra and directed him to work for the cause of the nation. Incidentally,today the saints are again looking at Narendra who has dedicated his life for the nation, the report states.
While the Organiser is silent on the chants for declaring Modi prime ministerial candidate,the report recalls a saint saying that the country needs leaders like Narendra Modi who can make every hurdle a stepping stone in the progress of the country. It quotes Ramdev himself saying that Modi alone can give the country the kind of leadership it is looking for.
