Another lynching

Another lynching. Mob mentality. Education Modi response. He talks of the mahatma. Meanwhile another mob gets lynched.

Junaid's death strikes a chord because he is a child. Just 15 years old he hardly knew Indian politics had come down to. How low we've become. Doing everything wrong yet riding our high horse. Junaid simply wanted to get in his new clothes and celebrate an auspicious day he had been waiting for a long time. It is unthinkable what those goons wanted to prove by killing the child. Mohamed Akhlaq was killed for the same reason and so was the techie from Pune and so was the old man from Alvsr. 'Beef ? No! Because they were Muslim. 

Prime minister Modi issued a statement condemning the killing, and it is very obvious to many people why his statement is just a farce. First, everybody knows he became Prime Minister on that agenda. Creating hatred towards Muslims and promising everything under the sun for Hindus. So what he is now saying is opposite of what he has been saying for the past so many years. Ask Rajdeep Sardesai and all the journalists who asked him if regretted what happened in Gujarat. 

The second reason why he is obviously not sincere in his anguish is that he invoked the mahatma. He said the Mahatma would not approve. The Mahatma, as everyone knows is one of the most hated figures of the RSS. RSS is the organisation from where Nathuram Godse the Mahatma's killer originated. They and it's break away factions celebrate Nathuram Godse's birthday. So invoking the mahatma is like talking about the teacher who you do not like and make fun of always. Mr Patel will not approve. The rest of your gang know you are being sarcastic and Mr Patel's injunctions are meant to be broken. Even while he released his statement saying these killings are wrong lynch mobs are doing their work unbated.
