K. Advani Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister of India South block, Central Secretariat New Delhi 5/5/2003 Subject: -- Dereliction of duty and complicity of the police officials in the assault and battery of peaceful activists by goons of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal Dear Advani ji, I'm writing to you to complain about the shameful incident yesterday which illustrates how close we are to a fascist state. When large contingents of police stand as mute spectators as goons and thugs of the Bajrang Dal and the Vishwa Hindu Parishad armed with lathis set on and beat up our unarmed peace activists who are just standing peacefully with placards, it surely conjures up visions of Nazi Germany when storm troopers of the Nazi party roamed around freely in broad daylight beating up dissenters and protesters in full view of the police which stood by and watched. Is this what India is coming to? Is this what history will credit you with? To have precided over a police force which colludes with gangs of lumpens who go about belabouring peaceful citizens. I am attaching a copy of today’s story in the Hindu with a photograph which tells its own story. Vimalbhai (who is a colleague from the National Alliance of People’s movements) and two women activists, Gayatri Arya (a writer) and Durgeshini Upadhyaya (an MBA student) had gone with a few placards (which said, “Trishul nahi rozgar chahiye”, “Talwar nahi, pyar”, “ Jihad nahi dharmyudh nahi”, “Aman, ekta, shiksha chahiye”) to stand peacefully near the site of Togadia’s Trishul Diksha programme near the Coffee home on Vikas Marg. As soon as they unrolled the placards near the coffee home, they were set upon and Vimal was badly beaten up with lathis by goons of the Bajrang Dal and VHP who were there. Dozens of policemen who were standing right there also with lathis did not do anything to stop this crime being committed in broad daylight. This is clear from the photograph published in the Hindu. What is equally disquieting is the fact that the police (of Preet Vihar PS) also refused to register an FIR of a cognizable offence u/s 324 (Voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means) which had clearly been committed. They wrote a report (copy enclosed) and said that no cognisable offence has been committed. Is this the India that you would like to create? A State where thugs of organizations allied to the ruling party can freely roam around terrorizing innocent, peaceful and unarmed citizens with the complicity of the police and the State apparatus? I am sure you realize that such States cannot survive for long and will inevitably degerate towards anarchy. Mr. Togadia was granted conditional bail by the Rajasthan Court on the condition that he would not repeat his offences. It appears to me that his actions and speech at the Trishul Diksha function yesterday amount to repeating the offences for which he was arrested and violate the conditions of his bail. Will the Delhi Police presided over by you remain mute spectators to all this? I call upon you Sir, to take immediate steps to restore the rule of law in this country. The minimum that is required for this would be to identify, suspend and take disciplinary action against the police officials who stood by and watched this crime being committed. Some of them can be easily identified from the photographs. Action should also be taken against the officers who refused to register the FIR. Secondly, an FIR u/s 324 of the IPC must immediately be ordered to be registered and the investigation handed over to senior, competent and independent police officials. Thirdly Mr. Togadia must be arrested for having repeated the offences for which he was arrested in Rajasthan and for violating the conditions of his bail. I hope and expect that you will realize the gravity of the situation and what it portends and act with expedition. Yours Sincerely, (Prashant Bhushan)

VHP guys did a great job , and such suchm bags deserve such treatment. get the fuck out of here 14 killed in West Bengal panchayat poll violence Press Trust of India Kolkata, May 11 Fourteen people, including seven CPI (M) activists, were killed in clashes between rival political groups as widespread violence and snatching of ballots on Sunday marred panchayat polls in West Bengal even as an estimated 65 per cent of voters exercised franchise. Among those killed were two women activists of SUCI, besides two Congress activists and the father of a Trinamool Congress candidate, DIG of Police (HQ) NC Ghosh said. He said two SUCI women activists were killed at Joynagar and two CPI (M) worker at Canning in poll clashes in South 24 Parganas district. Father of Trinamool Congress candidate Lutfar Rahman for Khamarpara Panchayat Samity Haji Anwar Ali was shot dead at his home in Madanpur in Barasat in North 24 Parganas, he said. In Sibdaspur, also in North 24 Parganas, CPI (M) supporter Sheikh Salim was killed in a poll related clash. There was no polling in the area till noon following the incident, Ghosh said. Another CPI (M) activist was killed in Jalpaiguri district and a Congress worker at Thalarpur in Nadia district, he said. At Murshidabad, two CPI (M) supporters were killed when they clashed with Congress activists while Congress supporter Manirul Sheikh was killed at Ranitala when bombs were hurled at people waiting to cast their ballots in front of two booths, he said. State Electoral Officer Ajay Sinha said an estimated 65 per cent of the electorate cast their votes and the figure would go up as people were in queue inside booths after the close of polling at 5.00 pm.  | Why they did that ? please don't poke tigers ( VHP , Bajrang Dal) . GO and invite Jihadis and dine with peace delegates of pakistan .. go and ask jihadi's for help , they will come to u r succore . thank's for prashanth address , we will fuck him soon . guys fuck prashanth at his residence, bastard , son of a bitch FUCK THESE LEFTIST bastards, they sleep with china , Islamic Jihadis and are after blood of Hindus. ALL HINDUS MUST BEWARE OF TEHSE BASTARDS , They hate hindus and are progeny of rape. bastards and sluts need to be kicked out of india. Sonia Gandhi & communists are Anti Hindu . KICK ALL THESE BASTARDS AND SLUTS OUT OF INDIA DEATH TO COMMUNISTS DEATH TO JIHADIS DEATH TO ALL IN CONGRESS  | > jaikishen 8:52am Sun May 11 '03 > > Abe communist madarchood , look at your westbengal > how cheap your government, 14 people were killed in > poll violance. This is not an argument. The theme is VHP violence against protestors and police support for the violence. The protestors were *not* representatives of the West Bengal government. > VHP guys did a great job , and such suchm bags > deserve such treatment. get the fuck out of here I'm trying to understand: Are you saying that you support violence by the VHP against protestors? > by Ramkumar 8:57am Sun May 11 '03 > > Why they did that ? please don't poke tigers ( VHP > , Bajrang Dal) . GO and invite Jihadis and dine > with peace delegates of pakistan .. > > go and ask jihadi's for help , they will come to u > r succore . You are confusing the discussion. We are all aware of muslim fundamentalists (jihadis) who use totally unacceptable violence, which is not self-defence. But attacking peaceful protestors has nothing to do with stopping jihadi violence. > thank's for prashanth address , we will fuck > him soon . > guys fuck prashanth at his residence, bastard , son > of a bitch So now you are proposing violence against the person who wrote the message. Is this correct? You don't seem to realise that *most* people want *all* violence to stop. Anti-protestor violence is just as bad as jihadi violence. > Kick commies & Congress out of India > by Umakanth 9:45am Sun May 11 '03 > > FUCK THESE LEFTIST bastards, they sleep with china > , Islamic Jihadis and are after blood of > Hindus. ALL HINDUS MUST BEWARE OF TEHSE BASTARDS , > They hate hindus and are progeny of rape. bastards > and sluts need to be kicked out of india. > > Sonia Gandhi & communists are Anti Hindu . KICK ALL > THESE BASTARDS AND SLUTS OUT OF INDIA You seem to be trying to get people to hate each other. So are you saying that you propose violence against people from a group that you wish to hate, so-called "anti-hindu" people? Jaikishen, Ramkumar, Umakanth: you don't seem to realise that the idea of Indymedia is to report facts, and if people have different sources of information on what happened, then they should provide this counter-information. Repeating slogans and generalisations is not providing useful information to stopping *both* jihadi violence and VHP violence. It seems that you are afraid of muslims, protestors, and Pakistanis. Maybe you should spend time trying to understand the vast majority of muslims, protestors, and Pakistanis - who want all of South Asia to become a peaceful place to live - without violence by either jihadis or VHP people. If you try to stir up hate, you're in fact working *with* the jihadis... How about stopping the cycle of violence?  | let us start understanding one thing. what is our problem ? i have one opinion on certain things. you have certain. let us talk and debate. why do you people use such a nasty language when one is discussing things which are important about our lives. we are living in a civilised world (we assume). we have all rights to differ you. we have all rights to oppose you as well. we oppose any kind of violence. we oppose anybody who is creating violence directly or indirectly. this site is for civilised people. 1.South Asia is INDIA and INDIA is South Asia 2. Hindustan is till Hindu Kush Mountains 3. We will take over all lands , and kill ISLAM HINDUSTAN IS TILL HINDUKUSH Make a note of these. We are PAN HINDUTVA GROUPS , we will realise our dream one day . We don't forget the butchery of hindus by Islamic Jihadi bastards. Amudhan madarchood chup bait , communist ka aulad, kutte ka lund se paida hua . madarchod ! abe biju matthew madarchood , theri bivi kho jihadi oo kho beej . maa ka lund , behen choood angana randi kaha hi, kis ka lund choos rahi hi Muslim jihadi gangs murdered 8 hindus in the name of allaha in kerala  8 Hindus buchered by muslims in kerala The world belongs to everyone living in it. We have different ideologies and viewpoints. Can we not express without using abusive words? If there is a Police brutality i.e. Police connivance at suppressing dissent, this should be condemned. Mob rule is jungle rule where no one is safe. India can be a beacon for civilised debate and dissent. Pandit Nehru and those who fought for independence would be proud if we tolerate dissent and express our views politely. Comming to massacre at Kerala, it is very sad that such things should happen. Police agencies should try to apprehend the culprits and everyone should restrain their fury because it does not help at all. Criminals, whoever, they are should be punished. We should not jump to conclusion.  | dear mother fucker hindu writers, u bull shit people consider ur self good and apostle of goodness but dear u r not. why u get so angry when just 8 bull shit were killed in kerala what abt 80000 muslims which were killed in kashmir so be ready its ur turn .  | Very soon a deadly virus will be wiped out from the face of the earth, and the Virus is nothing but the Muslims who commit crimes against humanity All Muslims who promote violence must be exterminated from the face of the earth. They are cause of todays voilence and suffering in the world in so many countries, I do not understand what is their problem??? they are the cheap bastards who can kill a small child who is 1 yr old just for fun, and can rape a 3 yrs girl just because she is Hindu, I hope everyone of them who commit such crimes rot in hell and their daughters and sons may suffer the same in the hands of their own kind. I saw one news clip, where in they said they kill innocent people to go to heaven and have sex with some virgins, so literally they kill people for sex, what a disgusting creatuers... I do not understand how they can look into their childrens' eyes and teach them to hate other religions. I'm not only talking about the common muslims but also about those who earned university degrees, who preach in masjids, they are clearly deceiving Allah and themselves, such bastards are disgrace to the human race. Ohm P.S : this article is about those muslims who kill innocent people and hate other religions.  | Why do most of the muslims try to rape innocent and helpless women and children???? I'm a doctor in a Kashmir village, I treated somany rape victims who were raped by Muslims. I mean I have seen as little as 1 yr old baby girl, tears rolled over my cheeks. Some women were gang raped by Islamic militents. They do not have heart. They are such a gross animals who deserve to die. I have seen with my own eyes a muslim militent pig running his hands over a little girl while her parents are looking helplessly. I demand their penises should be cut and their seed should be stopped from spreading. I wish a deadly virus should attack these pigs and die. Dr Janey N.  | The rassism in these comments is incredible! Indian people stop those nazis! Quickly! If not, India is running right into a nazi regime. STOP RACISM AND FASCISM EVERYWHERE! ALL HUMAN BEINGS ARE EQUAL, INDEPENDENT TO THEIR ORIGIN, RELIGION, SKIN COLOUR, LANGUAGE, HANDICAPS AND SEX! WHERE ARE THE INDIAN ANTIFASCISTS? WHAT DO THEY WAIT FOR?
