Stop spreading communal hatred… NOW

Stop spreading communal hatred… NOW


The following are excerpts from speeches that Varun Gandhi is shown as delivering in at least two locations earlier this month in Pilibhit, from where he is contesting as the BJP candidate.

“ Yeh panja nahi hai, yeh kamal ka haath hai. Yeh kat** ke galey ko kaat dega chunaav ke baad! Varun Gandhi kaat daalega! Kaat denge us haath ko, kaat denge, kaat daalega!

[This is not the (Congress symbol) ‘hand’, this is the hand of the ‘lotus’. It will cut the throat of the (derogatory reference to a Muslim) after the elections... Varun Gandhi will cut... Cut that hand, cut it, cut it.]

Apne jao, apne gaon mein jao aur halla karo ki saara Hindu ek tarfa ho jao, chhetra ko Pakistan hone se bachao, aur saara Hindu ek tarfa ho jao!
[Go to your villages and give the call that all Hindus must unite to save this area from becoming Pakistan…]
Kya yeh sach nahin hai… ki usko bola gaya ki mataji aapka naam kya hai... agar usne bola ki Bimla Devi, to usko kahaa ki dekhenge, sochenge... pehle paanch hazaar rupaye do... aur agar uska naam hai Saira Bano ya jo bhi Begum Hukum Begum... hum to jaante nahin hain... badey daraawne naam hotey hain inke... Karimullah... Mazharullah.... agar raat ko kabhi dikh jaayen... to darr rahen hain...
[Is it not true... that if (a woman) is asked her name and she says Bimla Devi, she is told we’ll see, we’ll think (about giving government aid), give us Rs 5,000 first... But if her name is Saira Bano or whatever begum Hukum Begum... I don’t even know... These people have such scary-sounding names... Karimullah, Mazharullah... If you ever encountered them at night, you’d be scared...]
NSUI condemns the heinous and venal remarks made by Varun Gandhi, as such mindless spewing of invectives against a community destroys the spirit of democracy. It is a pity that Varun Gandhi is determined to display his immaturity and ineptitude as an individual and as a politician. We condemn the BJP for attempting to incite communal hatred to gain political scores and demand a public apology for this act.

NSUI condemns the act of violence in Lohit hostel against a student belonging to a minority community and using derogatory, fascist and communal remarks by ABVP’s saffron brigade. NSUI demands the administration to imitative severe disciplinary action against the perpetrators of violence for such delinquent behavior.
