The BJP party has stated that it is against any ideology that insults or demeans any sect or religion and is committed to make India a great country where all are equal and everyone lives with dignity in line with our civilization heritage and strong cultural traditions of unity in diversity! They have suspended their national spokesperson and expelled the head of their media cell whilst the MEA has called them fringe elements and disassociated India from their remarks. This only after the Gulf countries, Indonesia (reportedly 16 nations) even contemplated boycotting Indian goods and the OIC called on the UN to take action. Our stated policy apparently does not jell with the Hindutva forces not satisfied with the 1991 and Ram temple/Babri Masjid rulings of the Supreme Court for bringing peace and stability, ending long standing animosity and religious disputes of past historical wrongs! The domestic atmosphere is vitiated with hate speeches and minority persecution. It is high time the Prime Minister brings trust and credibility by publicly and verbally reconciling the foreign and domestic policies in word and deed to reflect reality for all the people of India.
