SC reprimands Karunanidhi

This so called ‘atheist’ and ‘secularist’ had it coming.

The Supreme Court on Monday threatened to issue arrest warrants against Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi, Union Transport Minister T R Baalu and four others for failing to respond to a contempt notice on the Sethusamudram bandh row. [Rediff]

As I had noted elsewhere about his hypocrisy when it comes to Hinduism, here I will rehash it. I have no problem with his critical view of Hinduism, but to do it under the veil of atheism and secularism and then to forget the same when it comes to other religions is unacceptable.

It should be noted he made a scathing attack on the character of lord Ram by calling him a drunkard, in reply to L K Advani’s plea to take back his statements on the existence of Ram. Well, what does this ‘atheist’ and ‘secularist’ has to say when it is not Hinduism? All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) chief, Maulana Rabey Hasni Nadwi had claimed that there’s no room for family planning in Islam. Consistency requires that he attacks Muhammad’s character with regards to women, and point out that even his beloved wife Aisha had mocked his privileges with women accorded to no other muslim, and also the views of other companions of the Muhammad who claimed muhammad’s privileges with women are due to his extreme love for women and sexual prowess, which even led to his contemporaries calling him a womanizer and should have challenged Nadwi for a debate on this claiming why should a womanizers view on family planning be taken seriously? But what does he do? This is what he says in response to Nadwi’s statements.

…efforts should be taken to pacify the community and no hasty decision should be taken in matters pertaining to religion. [ToI]

May I ask him what efforts his party or his ownself, took to pacify the Hindu community on the issue of Ram setu? And why is that he is so hasty in completing the project when the issue is the court?

NOTE: I don’t believe in Ram.
