Samajwadi Party's national secretary Kamaal Farooqui's list of innocent terrorist trapped in fake encounter extended now from Sadiq Jamal, Tulsiram Prajapati, Ishrat Jahan, Shohrabuddin , Shahzad Ahmad of Batala House to Yasin Bhatkal of Indian Mujahideen; and it is well expected by 2014 the list will also include Dawood Ibrahim, Syed Lakhvi and many more.
Commenting on Bhatkal’s arrest, Farooqui had earlier said: “Is this arrest based on crime or religion?" "If he is a terrorist, then he should not be spared but if he has been arrested just because he is a Muslim, then caution should be exercised as we don't want to send a wrong message to the entire community."
The so called secular Samajwadi Party was forced to distance from the remarks saying they reflected Farooqui’s personal views. Farooqui was now sacked from the post of Samajwadi Party's national secretary following his comments ten days earlier on arrested Indian Mujahideen founder Yasin Bhatkal's arrest.
But why the same logic will not be applicable to Sadiq Jamal, Tulsiram Prajapati, Ishrat Jahan, Shohrabuddin etc when similar case of Shahzad Ahmad of Batala House was proved terrorist by the Delhi High Court,for that reason the provocative Dig sir of Congress has hide his face in shame ?
It is the time the nationalist parties to rise above the cheap vote bank politics of appeasement to minorities irrespective of the activities of any anti national element, in the supreme national interest and prove that their patriotism is above all. Will this work as guiding lesson for JD(U), Congress ( Digvijay Singh ) and many others so called secular leaders, who put national interest behind when personal vote bank manipulation becomes important.
