We should be alarmed in killings and counter killings going on in Gujarat. We should be sad in the killings of all. Our minds should not be narrow. In all the killings, let the culprit's name be Brijesh Patel or Ismael Patel we should doubt the anti-social elements. Let the people who started the fire initiate to set off the fire. Let Gujaratis make a riot free state. (They can get model states from our India). Let the people live and pray without fear or terror. Let the socially responsible groups take the initiative. Let political parties not to think of political advantage in the cost of Gujarati lives. Blood is flowing out of the chest of Bharat Mata, whoever Ihsan or Bachubhai be shooted or burnt. Let our country's industrial state be calm from January to December. Let Babri Masjids,Swaminarayan temples,St.Thomas churches and Guru Nanak gurudwaras not to be damaged or demolished. Let the neighbours belonging to different communities give sweets to each other on their religous ceremonies. Let our India, its sons and daughters live harmoniously. Let extremisms be fused.

  The current ruling party of India, BJP and RSS, was born in terrorism and murder. These are the same people (families) who assassinated Mahatma Ghandhi, Indira Ghandhi and her son. They are jnothing but criminals, India's version of fascism. As long as these parties are in power, India and Gujarat will continue to have problems. No minorities or westerners or reasonable sane people will be safe. The BJP and RSS advocate a "final solution" for all "non-India" religions or people. Is this what a democracy is all about?
  
  Let's not forget one thing, the reason that India is India today is because of the British on the one hand and on the other hand because of Mahatma Ghandhi and the Congress Party. THe BJP and RSS were terrorists, criminals and thugs in the 1930's as they are today, whether they are Hindu or not, a terrorist is a terrorist. T

  NEW DELHI NOV. 27. The Deputy Prime Minister, L.K. Advani, today maintained that India would never be a theocratic state and asserted that for the Vajpayee Government, the concept of Hindutva was the same as interpreted by the Supreme Court.
  
  Replying to a short-duration discussion in the Rajya Sabha on the recent developments in Gujarat, Mr. Advani said that 50 years ago, even in the backdrop of Partition, Indian political thinkers had rejected the idea of India being a theocratic state, which held good now and would be so in future.
  
  In his short but spirited reply, Mr. Advani tried to balance his Constitutional obligations with his party's political priorities in Gujarat. He ended up praising the Gujarat Chief Minister, Narendra Modi, and asserted that today's discussion would bring political dividends to "our leader".
  
  The three-hour discussion saw both the BJP and the Opposition raise points which reflected the mood in their camps in the run-up to the December 12 Assembly polls. If the BJP members referred to threat of terrorism casting its long shadow over Gujarat, the Opposition stressed on the need to ensure free and fair polls, the sense of insecurity still prevalent among the minorities and the inadequate relief work for riot-hit victims.
  
  Mr. Advani clarified that he echoed similar views last week in the Lok Sabha that attracted criticism and later apology from the Vishwa Hindu Parishad. He said that for the Government, Hindutva was a concept that was acceptable to people and not one which "develops allergy" towards every other religion.
  
  Asserting that so far as secularism was concerned, the Government accepted the Constitution in letter and in spirit, Mr. Advani advised the next government in Gujarat that it too should follow the Constitutional position. One of the essential facets was that every citizen, irrespective of caste or religion, should feel safe and secure and was afforded equal opportunities.
  
  Disagreeing with the Opposition's sharp criticism of Mr. Modi vis-a-vis the minorities, Mr. Advani said that on the contrary the Chief Minister was going ahead on a positive note talking of — "educating, irrigating and electrifying" Gujarat.
  
  However, he said that if the Opposition sought to raise controversial issues, then it might not be inappropriate for the BJP referring to the Godhra incident. The remark did not go uncontested with the CPI(M) members protesting that as the Home Minister, he should not have said it.
  
  Earlier, Mr. Advani's interpretation of the Marxist ideology was disputed by the CPI(M) and other Left members who insisted that they be allowed to set the record straight. They later staged a walkout.

  All forms of revenge killings are absolutely wrong both in war and in local communities.
  
  The problem is a police and government one and the inabilities of local and federal government to take swift action. Federal laws should apply when there are local inaction in these kinds of situations.
  
  No other argument is relevant even when one wants to show some understanding for the perpetrators of these crimes.
