Bantwal, Dec 28: "This is a fight between Indianness and Brahminism. We have to conduct one more Independent struggle with patience and courage, holding the tricolour, in the non-violence mode shown by Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhiji," said former DC of Dakshina Kannada district and IAS officer Sasikanth Senthil.
Sasikanth was speaking at the 'Brihat Samrakshana Samavesha' under the theme of 'Oppose CAA, Save Constitution' that was organized by Vittal Muslim Union on Friday, December 27 at the campus of Vittal Central Juma Masjid opposing the NRC and CAA acts introduced by the central government.
Senthil further said, "PM Modi and BJP national president Amit Shah are implementing their agenda under the boundaries of Fascism. Now they have come to the point of questioning the citizenship of Indians. But the calculation of Modi and Amit Shah has gone for a toss after they saw nation-wide protest against the act. This can be understood by the speech that was given in fear by PM Modi at the Ramleela grounds of New Delhi recently."
"Fascism and Brahminism have come together and are trying to turn this nation into a Hindu Rashtra. Not only Muslim and Dalits but even my Hindu brothers are being fooled by the central government. Hindus have to first understand what Hindu Rashtra is. This is a caste-based idea of Manurashtra. This is a system in which Brahmins will be at the top and rest all Hindus will live at the bottom of the society.
"In addition to questioning the government on the basis of religion, every citizen of this country has to vehemently oppose the policy of the central government. Instead of NRC, a national survey of unemployed Indians needs to be done.
"Let this struggle be continuous. Let us hold the tricolour firmly. Let us see who is going to take away our rights. Let them build detention centres. Let us live there also. When government officials visit your home ask for clear cut information. This is a survey to ask details for NPR and NRC. Do not give information under any circumstances for NPR. If they visit your home, give them coffee, tea or juice and send them back. Give information only that is required for census.
"People who were chanting 'Mera Desh Mera Desh' are in the process of seeing the real country for the first time. Media is under the clutches of Fascism. When the students of universities are expressing their unhappiness over the unconstitutional laws, the government is trying to suppress them by using police force. What can be expected for governments, which do not even pay heed to the road protests of university students of the country?
"At present, in this country, not only minorities but majority is also facing danger. Our struggle is being stopped in the name of India. We have to fight against the conspirators. Patience, courage and unification is required at this moment."
M A Mohammed did the inauguration speech. President of Muslim Union V H Ashraf presided over the function. Convener of the programme Kalandar did the introductory speech.
V H Ashraf welcomed the gathering. Naufal compered the event as well as rendered the vote of thanks.
‘Our Constitution is the best in the world, Do not allow it to get destroyed’
"Our constitution is the best in the whole world. We should not give opportunity to any attempt to destroy or twist the same. If we allow that to happen, it would be a great insult to our nation," said former DC and IAS officer Sasikanth Senthil.
Sasikanth was speaking at the seminar on the subject of 'NRC, CAA and NPR' organized by the Bantwal unit of National Confederation of Human Rights Organizations (NCHRO) at B C Road on the evening of Friday, December 27.
Sasikanth further said, "The government is saying that there is no relation between NPR and NRC. This is like saying there is no relation between the Chicken and the egg. Do not get fooled by such lies. The present BJP government, which is completely immersed in Fascism and Brahminism is fooling the citizens of this country in the name of patriotism. This kind of experiment is not conducted only in India. This is a universal problem.
"The methodology of administrative system is not right. This truth has to be conveyed to the people. I resigned my job in order to face these kind of forces in the country. Dakshina Kannada is my district. Speaking to people of this district gives me immense joy. There are people who say there is no problem for Indians or Muslims due to the implementation of NRC and CAA. But as these laws are against the constitution, they have to be opposed.
"Under any circumstances do not cooperate with the NPR survey. Do not let out information. They create incidents of Hollywood style in order to captivate the public. But we should not become pawns to their games. If we are united, they cannot do anything.
"Let us follow the path of Mahatma Gandhi in order to save our Constitution which was given by the great Dr Ambedkar. Do not be coward. But at the same time there is no need of any violence. Let us achieve our goal through peace and harmony and show what is India."
State vice-president of NCHRO Mohammed Kakkinje did the introductory speech. Lawyer Mohammed Kabir welcomed the gathering. Akbar Ali Ponnodi compered the programme and rendered the vote of thanks.
