We want Pranab Mukherjee as Prime Minister

We were shocked to see the observations of Ms Coomi  Kapoor in her regular column, published in Indian Express news paper on Dec 05, 2010, referring to the wall posters pasted by Congress Secular Hindu Forum activists in New Delhi, recently. We expect when a reputed journalist makes a comment, she/he should try to verify facts, get accurate information and may comment based upon facts. But we afraid to say no such practice was observed here. Moreover, it looks like `stenographer’ journalism, rather than `journalism of courage’ for which Indian Express is credited throughout several decades.

We really shocked to see how she could come to the conclusion referring our Forum as `mischievous organization’ and our posters added woes to Sri Pranab Mukherjee. If she is ignorant about this organization, she should try to get facts. Are she gets inputs from Sri Pranab Mukherjee to suspect our posters added `woes’ to him?

Congress Secular Hindu Forum (CSHF) has been functioning since more than three and half years, with in the Congress party, with the active support of several Hindu-minded leaders and cadres from all over the country. Our party high command is well aware of this organization. We have been frequently conveying our point of view on almost all important issues to the party high command.

Only recently, we proposed to put up our candidate in the AICC President elections and asked the party Chief Election Officer Sri Oscar Fernands to postpone the elections for six months, so that to complete electoral process in all the states as per rules and also enable us to decide our candidate after consulting all Hindu-minded leaders and also campaign in support of our candidate.

We have also launched massive campaign from Vijaya Dasami, October 17,2010 to make senior most politician and able administrator in the country Sri Pranab Mukherjee as Prime Minister. As a beginning of this campaign, for one week we have sent SMSs to all our party workers all over the country seeking their support to our campaign. The campaign was conducted from October 17 to 23. The text of the SMS is :

“Pray Durga Matha make Pranab Dada as Prime Minister. Save Hindustan-Save Congress. Dasara greetings from Congress Secular Hindu Forum”

In return, party workers forwarded the SMS to their friends and they forwarded to others. Like that way, it has reached large number of people.

If Ms Coomi Kapoor is ignorant of such mass campaign in the country, we are helpless. As a professional journalist, we hope it would be her duty to explore happenings, before making such `irresponsible’ comment on a genuine political movement, like us.

The posters campaign was also launched in many cities of India. We really shocked to know how Ms Coomi Kapoor `digged’ and `realized’ that Sri Pranab Mukherjee tried to get the posters removed and he believes they have been brought out by his enemies to embarrass him. 

If Ms Coomi Kapoor knows that Sri Pranab Mukherjee get removed those posts, is she also says that he asked the people to throw away mobile phones for receiving SMSs ? Is there any basis for her `exposure’?

The news about posters was published in many other familiar news papers all over the country, including Times of India. Some TV News Channels in Southern India also have highlighted these  posters and our movement. But none of them able to `dig’ like Ms Coomi Kapoor and could assess the `mind’ of Sri Pranab Mukherjee like that. The way in which, she presented her comment makes us to suspect her intentions. Is she is trying to take up the cause of some one?

Congress Secular Hindu Forum was also actively championed the cause of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) at Tirumala in Andhra Pradesh, when our own Chief Minister Dr Y S Rajasekhra Reddy’s family and relatives tried to misuse it for the spreading of Christianity and dilute its sacredness. We demanded our party president Smt Sonia Gandhi to direct for a CBI probe into all irregularities at the world famous Hindu shrine Tirumala.

In our letters to the party high command, we even confirmed the support we are getting from as many as 76 MPs from within Congress party. There is nothing to hide. Our objectives are very clear. It is natural for us to react when efforts are being made to replace Dr Manmohan Singh with Sri  A K Antony as Prime Minister of this country. We openly protested this move through wall posters making it clear Sri Antony is the candidate of America and Vatican and Sri Pranab Mukherjee will  be candidate of Indian people.

We will continue our campaign within the party till Sri Pranab Mukherjee is made as Prime Minister of the country. We strongly believe that Dr Manmohan Singh is never a Congressmen and believer in principles and programmes of the party. He is only close to family members of Smt Sonia Gandhi.

We need not shed tears, if his government is collapsed. No Congress worker is heard or treated well during his six and half year’s regime. Only Delhi-based power brokers and corrupt party leaders are benefiting in his government. Congress workers and voters have nothing to feel great of this government. Even now more than 90 per cent of ministers in Congress governments at Center and State are horrible corrupt.

Even UPA government is only serving the corrupt allies enabling their leaders to increase their bank balances and illegal assets. CSHF is seeking Sri Pranab Mukherje to be made as Prime Minister only to bring back credit and confidence among Congress workers and its voters. Lakhs of party workers all over the country are feeling that he only can meet their aspirations, as he will not allow present corrupt practices.

It is open secret now that Congress ministers in state and central governments have been looting public to earn hundreds of cores of rupees with corrupt practices as they need to pay huge amounts to several leaders in the party high command, for their own survival. We want to put an end to such practice so that to bring back glory to the party.

We have started our campaign to make Sri Pranab Mukhrjee only responding to the wishes and ambitions of lakhs of party workers all over the country, who are convinced that only he can bring value and identity to the Congress workers and voters. Only Sri Pranab Mukherjee can bring back respect to khadi-wearing party worker.

Ms Coomi Kapoor mentioned that Sri Pranab Mukherjee is designated as No. 2 in the Cabinet. But all the Congress party workers and Congress Secular Hindu Forum also believes he is No. 1 in the cabinet. That’s why we are demanding to make him as the Prime Minister. More than 90 per cent of Prime Ministerial assignments are being attended by Sri Pranab Mukherjee. Dr Manmohan Singh remains as name-sake. Why should we allow such person to continue in power?

About 95 per cent of Congress voters are Hindus only. Congress party is enjoying power at the Center and many states only with the support of Hindus. They are now feeling ignored and cheated by UPA Government.

We also strongly reacted when severe corrupt charges were exposed against Telecom Minister Sri A Raja last month. We demanded not only to sack him from the Union Cabinet, also cut off alliance with DMK, as many DMK ministers at the Center were involved in one or other corrupt practices. Their `blackmailing’ tactics have been defaming Congress party. We asked our high command to realize DMK is badly needed Congress support for the survival of its government in Tamil Nadu, more than its support to UPA Government at the Center.  Congress need not continue in power to please such corrupt parties.

Congress Secular Hindu Forum is not a `paper tiger’ organization, as some senior journalists trying to makes others to believe. We have the support of crores of Hindus all over the country. Lakhs of people are ready to rally behind us in any programme, if we give a call. We can even organize dharna or rasta roko at the AICC head quarter or even at the residence of Smt. Sonia Gandhi, in support of our demands. 

However, we do not want to create problems to the party. We are strong believers in Gandhian principles and want to follow peaceful means and democratic methods. If Congress high command is adamant and not prepared to respect the wishes of the party cadre, Congress Secular Hindu Forum may be forced to intensify its agitational programme, as per need of the hour.

Remove Manmohan Singh – Save Congress,Save Hindustan

The Congress Secular Hindu Forum (CSHF) today urged the Congress President Smt Sonia Gandhi to remove Dr Manmohan Singh as Prime Minister and save the  Congress and also Hindustan. CSHF Central Committee General Secretary K Ravi Kumar demanded that Dr Manmohan Singh should step down owing responsibility for the Rs 1.76 lakh crore 2-G Spectrum license scandal, the biggest corrupt deal in the independent India.

According to him, Prime Minister cannot disown his responsibility after getting resignation of Telecom Minister Sri A Raja. He said the questions raised by the Supreme Court of India have proved without doubt that Prime Minister has been trying to cover up corrupt practices without taking any action against the minister Raja since last two years. Though the 2-G pricing was among the terms of references of the Empowered Group of Ministers, headed by Sri Pranab Mukherjee, Sri Raja had forced to withdraw it from the Group’s preview. Is it possible to alter terms of reference of a ministerial group without the knowledge and directive of the Prime Minister, he asked.

Ravi Kumar alleged that Prime Minister had tried his best to save Raja till end due to his own involvement in the scandal. He said that Congress President Smt Sonia Gandhi, who had removed several Chief Ministers and Ministers from their offices on allegations of corruption, should not spare Prime Minister.

He wondered that why Prime Minister remained as spectator for the last two years on the plea DMK’s support is critical for the survival of UPA Government at the Centre. In fact, he said it was DMK government in Tamil Nadu is at the mercy of out-side support from Congress party. But at the Center, he said Congress can manage to remain in power even DMK withdraw support, with the support from other groups and parties. Recalling that several ministers from DMK have been defaming the UPA Government with their severe corrupt deals, he demanded that Congress should come out from alliance with DMK.

Ravi Kumar lamented that from the very beginning, Dr Manmohan Singh have been deviating from the core principles of Congress party, formulated by leaders like Pandit Nehru and Smt Indira Gandhi and behaving like the promoter of Multi National Companies on the pressures from USA, and encouraging their unlimited corrupt practices. He recalled during recent US

President Barack Obama,  Dr Singh failed to get any specific advantage from that country, but provided Indian market for US companies so that to create additional employment to about 7 lakh US citizens.

He expressed concern that the support base of Congress party from the poor and marginalized sections of people going away from the party as they are the worst victims of Dr Manmohan Singh’s economic policies.

Protest letter to Sonia Gandhi against cancellation of Dharma Prachar Sabha at Tirumala

To,                                                                                                                                            Dt 14-11-2010

Smt Sonia Gandhi,

Hon’ble President,

All India Congress Committee,

10, Janpath,  New Delhi

Dear Madam,

Crores of Hindus all over the country and elsewhere are felt anguish with the abrupt cancellation of Hindu Dharma Prachara Sabha, scheduled to be held in Tirumala by Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) on November 29 and 30, 2010. The Congress Secular Hindu Forum (CSHF) is particularly unhappy to know that this was differed with the directions from some senior Congress leaders. The opposition party BJP even alleged that Congress General Secretary Sri Rahul Gandhi was responsible for it.

As leaders like Sri Rahul Gandhi, Sri Ahmad Patel and Sri Oscal Fernandes, who are in key position of the  Congress party, are not believers in Hindu faith and their religious beliefs are different, CHSF felt that such leaders should not interfere into issues related to Hindus religious sentiments.

In this connection, I wish to remember you that over 95 per cent of people who voted for Congress and brought this party into power are only Hindus. Among minorities, over 95 per cent have voted for other parties and leaders like Sri Mulayam Singh Yadav, Kum Mayawati, Sri Lalu Prasad Yadav, Sri Chiranjeevi, Sri Nitish Kumar, Sri Naveen Patnayak, TDP, DMK and Left Parties.

So, we strongly felt that hurting sentiments of Hindus is not good for the survival of Congress party itself. I request you to interfere in this issue and see that Hindu Dharma Prachar Sabha should be held immediately at Tirumala without any obstructions.

If leaders like AP Congress affairs incharge Sri Veerappa Moily, Congress President Advisor Sri Ahmad Patel or any one is found responsible for going back from organizing this programme, CSHF demand you to take disciplinary action against such leaders.  We look forward for immediate step from you respecting religious sentiments of Hindus and also for protecting the political interests of the Congress party itself.

With warm regards,

Yours Sincerely,

(K Ravi Kumar)

Obama’s India visit a severe blow to Indian farmers and youth

Obama’s India visit a severe blow to Indian farmers and youth

By K Ravi Kumar,

Geneal Secretary, Central Committee, CSHF

The Congress Secular Hindu Forum (CSHF) strongly believes that the present state visit of USA President Barack Obama to India is detrimental to the interests of the Indian farmers and youth. Obama’s main purpose of the visit was to exploit India with active collusion of Indian Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh to save his face in his own country from his failures.

It may be recalled that Obama is visiting India at a time his reputation is at very low  following his failure to convince a lot of Americans about his efficacy of corporate bailouts and economic stimulates in reviving the economy and his country is facing grim employment situation. The Americans have demonstrated their dissent towards him in the recently held elections.

In order to save the failing agricultural economy in his country, Obama is brining pressure on Indian government to adopt corporate farming and allow US companies’ domination in seeds supply to our farmers. This would turn Indian farmers into agricultural labourer in their own fields and Indian agriculture would be completely dependent on US economy for its very survival.

India’s readiness to buy fighter aircrafts from this US, worth $ 12 billion (Rs 54,000 crore) creating notional war threat from China, is also not acceptable to CSHF.  Immediately there is no major security threat on Indian borders and CIA spreading fears of war-threat from China. This deal would save Obama’s position in USA by enabling him to create employment to one lakh youth permanently and making India’s defense at the mercy of US.

CSHF believed that the urgent need for India’s defense is strengthening its ordinance factories, modernize its infrastructure and attract more and more talent into the army with attractive incentives, rather importing critical equipments from US.  The need to protect thousands of acres defense sites in the country from encroachments.

Congress was aware about USA’s expansionism and exploitive tendencies since the times of Nehru, who promoted Non-Aligned Movement by joining hands with Nasser of Egypt and Joseph Tito of Yugoslavia, opposing the hegemony of USA in world politics. Since then, USA waged proxy war against India by creating trouble in Kashmir through its CIA, later in Punjab, North East and in recent times all over the country with active collusion of Pakistan’s ISI.

All the national leaders from Nehru to Indira Gandhi and P V Narasimha Rao kept USA away form interfering into our internal affairs. But unfortunately, the UPA Government led by Dr Manmohan Singh colluding with USA determining to the interests of Indian people.

It is deplorable that Obama starting his tour from Mumbai under the guise of offering condolence to the victims of Mumbai blasts, even after CIA’s nexus with ISI was exposed with the revelation that US was aware of the master-mind behind the blasts Headly’s intentions well in advance. As USA opened its Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) office in Mumbai, CSHF felt that the terror attack was intended to give scope for USA to expand its intelligence network in India. How can Obama visit terror attack place with out handing over Headly to India for investigation?.

USA was instrumental in promoting terror network in India. It was behind the brutal killing of our great leaders Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi. USA’s imperialistic tendencies were known as `Nexus of Devil’ in countries like Palestine, Cuba, Korea, Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan. No country prospered with liberal assistance from USA, but collapsing completely in all fields.

Obama’s visit was intended to collapse India’s IT industry spread in cities like Bangalore and Hyderabad,  which were threatening USA’s economy, with active cooperation  from Dr Manmohan Singh under the guise of `outsourcing’ negative policy.

Now it is clear that Obama was anti-India. It would hurt the sentiments of Indians if such a leader is allowed to speak in the Parliament. CSHF appealed to conscious  of Parliament Members to boycott his address. It congratulates the Forward Block, which was started by great Congress leader Subash Chandra Bose, for deciding to boycott Obama’s address in Parliament, besides organizing protests in the country.

The other Left parties decision to attend Obama’s Parliament address, while observing protest outside the Parliament exposing their opportunistic policies. It seems Left is also surrendered to USA.

It is unfortunate that the main opposition party BJP is also colluding with Dr Manmohan Singh by adopting pro-USA policies. Though some times it speaks against USA, in reality it is extending all needful support to UPA Government adopting pro-US enactments. This is exposing BJP’s pseudo-Hindu policies by supporting USA President, who is instrumental in encouraging Christian missionaries to promote religious conversations in large scale.
