There goes the UPA government again. In an affidavit before the Supreme Court on the Ram Setu issue, the government has questioned the existence of Ram and the validity of the Ramayana.
In doing so, the government has willingly questioned the very existence of God as believed by over 800 million Indians and a few hundred million others around the globe. That shows the scant respect that the government has for the very electroate that voted it.
Or does this government think that the majority voted for the Opposition, and it's in power thanks to the Pakistanis? To me, that appears to be the government's logic.
I for one do not believe in dividing people by religion, caste, and/or creed. But I also will refuse to be a mute spectator when a government drunk in its own power rubbishes the belief and faith of nearly 80% of the country's population to achieve its narrow goals.
For the government, it appears to be a case scoring a few brownie points. Or is it that the UPA, rather the Congress, has been foolishly emboldened by TV channels indicating victory for the party if it were to call for a snap poll.
Most of us believe in the existence of God. Is that because we have seen or experienced the presence? I dare to say no. It's more due to belief in a higher authority that guards the universe. In God we trust, albeit blindly at times. So is it now for the government to decide whether God exists or not? Or is the government trying to play God?
Karl Marx had said "Religion is opium for the masses". The Congress under the garb of secularism has fed the masses this very opium. Even for a party famous globally for it's divide and rule policy, this is a new low.
Everytime we Indians wonder how low can this government stoop, the UPA lowers its bar by that proverbial yard. For that, dear friends we have ourselves to blame. We elected this monster to power. Now it's assuming Frankenstien proportions.
