This is in response to the editorial Constitutionally off-track. The whole farce of announcing and the withdrawal of the bandh call by the DMK has caused a lot of reactions from the political parties to the Supreme Court. The whole point of the ASI contesting the fact of the existence of the myth of Lord Ram and the sethu was perpetuated by the UPA in the centre, later the withdrawal and sacking of the ASI officials itself was contentious. Then came the derogatory remarks by the honourable Chief Minister Karunanidhi like asking if Ram was an engineer who constructed the bridge as if Karunanidhi was a sole authority in Tamil and a historian. When the Supreme Court said the bandh was illegal they continued with a fast. When this was contested in the court the remark made by the presiding Judge was published in your newspaper and later came the withdrawal by the Editor-in-Chief of The Hindu and followed by an editorial on the overreach of the judiciary and tried to put certain breaks to the judiciary where their role and responsibility ends. The media has to confirm to a certain Lakshman Rekha to criticising respected and time honoured institutions in the nation and analysing their activities. The judge has every right to comment or take a certain stance on the political situation in the nation as he is an eminent citizen of the nation.
The whole sequence of events shows that The Hindu is a newspaper that is noble and sober, secular as long as the event is leftist. Why don’t your paper stick on to a certain stance of being leftist or ultra conservative. The use of the word communal party referring to the BJP is attaining the heights of hypocrisy. What is wrong in a certain section of the community fighting for the individuality of a religion or a culture, when the pseudo-secularists and the minority appeasers erode the true values of that religion? A country is valued by the depth of its culture and history and not by the denial of the same.
India and its people have been tolerant to a lot of invaders and missionaries who have used and abused the Indians for a long time. When the judiciary steps into to put a halt to these activities, the entire media turns against them, especially when the politicians and the press are questioned. Why do you need an association or an union, that’s to fight against the forces who raise against the financial interest of that community, when you know that you have done wrong in the first place. Judiciary have come up with a lot of observations, which is revolutionary and far thinking on the aspects of reservation for the OBC, bandhs and many other curses which plague only the Indian community and nowhere else in the world.
Please put an end to these matters which is politically motivated and the individual ambitions of certain politicians are in the forefront of these contentious issues and respect the feelings and sentiments of a large community when it comes to the matter of god and religion.
