In the context of the stationing of para military forces in Orissa , Jharkand
, Chhatisgarh among other regions in Central India for Operation Green Hunt
even as Amnesty International exposes what Multinational Companies are upto in
the region ,it is necessary to contrast and place on record that thousands of
people have been killed in the Western regions of the country in Maharashtra ,
Gujarat in particular, without any serious attempt by the Union of India to
take action against organizations involved who openly are committed to violence
and not to democracy or democratic methods and threaten people on a daily
basis in Mumbai, where there is a government of the same party as in New Delhi .
Whereas the attacks on people of Indian origin have to be condemned severely
more attacks have taken place on people of Indian origin in Mumbai than in
Australia on the ground that they are migrants or belong to minority groups or
have exercised their freedom of speech in collusion with the law enforcement
authorities .If Indian citizens can migrate to other countries and that
includes people from Mumbai and Maharashtra , what is the logic in citizens of
India being prohibited from working in other states of the Indian Union.
Whereas ordinary working people on daily wages are being asked to learn
Marathi, the same demand is not being made on CEOs of Indian and foreign
corporate houses in Mumbai who have the facilities to learn the language ,
even as the children of many of these political organizations are in private
schools which has English as the medium of instruction and associate with a
predominantly Hindu film industry in Mumbai .
The Shiv Sena incidentally took no similar action against Mr. Advani or Mr.
Jaswant Singh who extolled Jinnah the real architect of partition in collusion
with the Imperial power , book shops or halls or meetings in which these
leaders books were available or spoke were not attacked , similarly it was
pointed out in a TV debate that a Pakistani cricket player was hosted by a
leader of the Shiv Sena.Similarly the Shiv Sena did not criticize Mr.
Chidambaram ,the Home Minister or demand that the Home Minister leave for
Pakistan, when he openly stated that the IPL should not have discriminated
against Pakistani Cricket players as there was no such reservation expressed by
the government .
When Mr. Hemant Karkare , a senior Police Officer and a Marathi manoos received
serious threats for exposing by his investigation the covert forces behind the
bomb blasts , what the situation in Mumbai can be understood , a complete
erosion of law and order over several years and yet no one has taken any
action against repeated violence perpetrated in the city of Mumbai against
individuals and establishments even as violence in Central India invites
Operation Green Hunt , the citizens of the country are entitled to ask what
about the violence based on religion , region and against those who investigate
the criminality of organizations .
Or is the policy against political violence a selective one, as Roman Rolland
the famous writer had written to Mahatma Gandhi from Europe questioning the
source of violence , that it was the major Corporations in Europe who were
perpetrating war and violence on citizens in the period prior to and during
World War II .
It appears that there are organizations and individuals in Pakistan and India
who keep the divide alive to attack innocent citizens on both sides on the
basis of the policy of divide and rule which serves Imperialism in South Asia
as in 1947 for better occupation, restructuring of the region and seizure of
resources . The Pakistani Taliban and Al Qaeda and the Indian Taliban are
useful entities for an on the ground destruction of democracy .
For the source of violence read the reportsof the Srikrishna Commission
confined to the dustbin by the State of Maharashtra and the Union of India
among other reports , even as the Judge himself is appointed to head the
Telengana Commission an indication of a confidence in his abilities .

This is not the first attempt to coerce citizens by diverse organizations
acquiesced in by the State
of Maharashtra at the highest levels. A complant lodged with the State of
Maharashtra Law and Home
Departments and with the Police by a citizen from Pune on the editorial
written in Saamna against Mr. Hemant
Karkare, Jt. Commission of Police Mumbai ( A Marathi Manoos )which prima
facie constituted a threat and
which appeared on the morning of 26/11 the day he was assassinated, has
not been investigated till date .
Saamna is merely the mouth piece of the diverse financial interest groups
Indian and foreign who attempt to
control Mumbai with the help of the underworld to involve Indian society
in diversionary issues against the
unity and integrity of the country .Organizations are created and floated
as per the immediate interest to
be met, some time in the name of the Shiv Sena and its new adjunct ,
sometimes the Indian Mujahideen ,
Al Qaeda , Indian Fidayeen etc. etc

An Open Letter to the Maharashtra Chief Minister
The Chief Minister
Maharashtra
Dear Mr Ashok Chavan,
Every society gives enough warning signals before turning totally anti
democratic and fascist in nature. If we go back in history we will find that
even in fascist Germany the first attack came on the freedom of expression of
artists and intellectuals. It is very natural as the struggle for peace,
democracy, secular thought, justice and communal harmony is waged by sensitive
and creative people. The dream of an equal and just society has always been
projected by either the mass movements of ordinary poor and marginalized
people, secular political forces, human rights activists or has been portrayed
by artists, poets, film makers, theatre directors etc. So those people whose
agenda and preoccupation is to spread hatred and disharmony always attack the
artists, activists, intellectuals and thinkers.
Unfortunately in the past we have ignored these danger signals and
violent acts thus allowing the perpetrators of hate mongering not only to go
scot free but also to further vitiate the atmosphere.
What has been happening in Maharashtra the past few months is absolutely
shocking and is an attack on the democratic rights of the citizens of not only
Maharashtra but all Indians.
I am writing to you as a member of the National Integration Council,
Ministry of Home Affairs and I request you to immediately take steps to ensure
that the goondaism unleashed by the Shiv Sena and MNS is stopped immediately.
I request you to ensure that Shahrukh Khan, Aamir Khan , whose effigies
were burnt in Mumbai and especially Shahrukh Khan, who has received threats in
the past few days, are given adequate security, that there is no disturbance
when their films are released or screened in theaters. I request you to ensure
that no taxi driver or auto rickshaw driver is harassed for not knowing or
speaking Marathi (its good that you backtracked on January 20 from a similar
unconstitutional stand on the question of issuing licenses to the taxi drivers)
and that their constitutional and democratic rights of working or living in
any part of India are not violated by Shiv Sena hoodlums on the roads.
The kind of filthy language which is being used and threats which are
being issued against the senior leaders of your own party are absolutely
unacceptable and need to be condemned strongly.
I request you to urgently arrest and prosecute those who are behind the
recent incidents.
Sincerely yours
Shabnam Hashmi
Member, National Integration Council, MHA
CC Home Minister, GOVT of India
