UPA Prime Minister Manmohan Singh takes Muslim appeasement to new level
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is an intelligent man. He is well-educated; he holds a PhD in Economics. He is not an uneducated illiterate stupid fool; he has a sharp mind. He is not the kind of person to say something by mistake that can be misinterpreted as something drastically different from what he meant to say.
So, we must not fail to understand him when he says: "The component plans for SCs and STs will need to be revitalised. We will have to devise innovative plans to ensure that minorities, particularly the Muslim minority, are empowered to share equitably in the fruits of development. They must have the first claim on resources."
He is He says exactly what he means: The (pseudo-)"secular" UPA Government's policy is that the Muslim minority must have first claim on India's resources.
Why ? Because the Muslim vote bank is the only thing that matters in Indian politics.
Muslims who are intelligent enough to understand what is going on (and they are really few in number) should try to make the less intelligent members of their community that this Muslim appeasement will not help Muslims of India in the long run.
The UPA cares about neither Hindus nor Muslims. All they care about is being in power.
Today Muslims may get some short-term benefits from this Government. But they are steadily losing the goodwill of the majority Hindus of India.
And someday soon, there will be a price to pay for the continuing injustice against Hindus. The UPA will not be able to save them then. It will not even try. Because it does not care if Muslims live or die.
Indians must defeat the ongoing Divide and Rule politics of the UPA. Antonia Maino (a.k.a. Sonia Gandhi), Manmohan Singh, Arjun Singh, Lallu Prasad Yadav, and Ambubani Ramadoss must be made to pay the price of the dirty politics they have been playing for so long.
These five criminals look Muhammad Ali Jinnah look like a schoolboy. If they are not stopped, the people of India will have a high price to pay.

PM remark on Muslims stirs row
[10 Dec, 2006 0119hrs ISTTIMES NEWS NETWORK]
NEW DELHI: It was supposed to be a meeting between the Centre and the states to step up growth rate during the next five-year plan. Instead, it turned into a slugfest with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s call for innovative planning for minorities, particularly Muslims, triggering angry reactions from BJP and RSS.
In his address to the National Development Council, the PM chose to take up the issue of devising "innovative plans to ensure that minorities, particularly the Muslim minority are empowered to share equitably in the fruits of development". The PM’s remarks addressed all minority groups as he said, "These must have first claim on resources." BJP used references to Muslims to attack PM’s speech.
Though the PM also spoke about agriculture, health, education, infrastructure as well as upliftment of diverse categories of SC/STs, OBCs and women and children, BJP took strong exception to his stress on "particularly the Muslim minority". The main opposition party, already exercised over UPA ministers pitching for a Muslim quota, also read PM’s assertion, "These must have a first claim on resources" in the light of his concern for the minority community.
Muslim empowerment has become a hot-button issue in the national discourse following the Sachar Committee’s report recommending special measures for the largely impoverished community.
Though the PM’s media managers insisted that the speech should be read in its entirety and not be linked to the coming UP polls, BJP chief ministers decided to take on Singh’s assertion at the NDC venue itself, terming it a ploy to woo the Muslim vote.
Gujarat CM Narendra Modi argued that the government should not favour one caste or community. Taking issue with the PM, Modi retorted that every citizen had equal rights over the country’s resources. "Such a statement does not behove a senior leader like the PM. It is unfortunate," he said.
Modi’s colleagues — Chattisgarh CM Raman Singh and Madhya Pradesh CM Shivraj Singh Chauhan — reacted in the same vein. While Chauhan termed the statement as "dangerous", Singh wanted economic backwardness to be the sole criteria.
By the end of the day the statement had turned into a full scale row. Congress stood by the PM, justifying the need for a special dispensation for Muslims, saying the majority of them were poor.
