The latest syndrome of ‘Hate Speeches’ have assumed an alarming proportion despite legal strictures. At home or abroad this menace goes on unabated regardless of strictures not to do so.
Some speak at occasions and some in the guise of nationalism push ahead such venomous agendas and the law keepers find themselves in a tight situation.
Now the menace has assumed a new pace in Maharashtra where this is being done through banners. Like Sakal Hindu Samaj, bit unheard of in the past, is on a kind of tour in the state organizing meetings and so on and spewing venoms in the name of nationalism.
And let’s take look at the nomenclature adopted those release an air of fear among others.
Nothing happens when some even make provocative speeches like in recent times even one suspended Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA T Raja Singh, religious leader Kalicharan ‘Maharaj’ alias Abhijeet Dhananjay Sarag who was arrested in 2022 over his remarks against Mahatma Gandhi, and Hindutva hardliner and YouTuber Kajal take to the stage and create unnecessary mental divides in the name of religions,
FIRs lodged against such people gather dust in the police stations leaving a section hopelessly on the defensive.
‘Hindu Hunkar Sabhas’what does it connote? As is going to a war against an enemy and such sounds work adequate the young minds to drift away from their paths.
Even some television channels are not spared by a few who choose the medium for hate speeches under different sloganeering.
Although the laws are in place but do not act itself. Promoting enmity between different groups on ground of religion, race, place of birth, residence, and language), 153B (punishment against imputations and assertions prejudicial to national integration), 295A (punishment for acts that are intended to insult the region or religious beliefs of certain class of citizens).
Then why people like T Raja Singh scot free and even dare the administration to do whatever. Only FIRs which remain tucked in files.
Singh’s case was as regards to a speech delivered by Singh on 19 February to celebrate the birth anniversary of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
In his speech, he said that “if not for Shivaji, all Hindus would have been circumcised.” He also urged Hindus to not be afraid of police action and teach a lesson to all “descendants of Afzal”
