That will only aggravate the problem. Close the Madrasas and teach the Muslims and Hindus that they are Indians first and last. If you are a minority in India, you better follow rules Don't expect the rules that you break to come to your aid or protection, when you need them the most. What you sow is what you reap. The Hindu mob won't take it supine: That is reality, if not legal, moral or ethical Extract Dawn.com Opinion page By Ghayoor Ahmed: The writer is a former ambassador of Pakistan. While addressing the Bhartiya Janta Party's national executive in Goa on April 12, Indian prime minister Atal Behari Vajpayee, inter alia, said that "wherever there are Muslims, they do not want to live with others (i.e. who practice other faiths). Instead of living peacefully, they want to preach and propagate their religion by creating fear and terror in the mind of others". Speaking on the Gujrat events at the Goa meeting, Vajpayee blamed the entire violence on the Godhra carnage, saying categorically that "if there had been no Godhra, the tragedy in Gujrat would not have occurred". The responsibility for the Godhra incident has not yet been fixed by the authorities concerned in India. Yet Vajpayee has already invented an excuse to hold the Muslims responsible for their own massacre in Gujrat. Those of our own people who have been portraying Vajpayee as a moderate Hindu leader may also wish to revise their opinion about him. We seem to be taken in by soft-speaking. One should discard the appearance to go to the essence. The writer is a former ambassador of Pakistan.
