Is Narendra Modi making anti-National statements befitting a Traitor?

Indians ought to be all Indian nationalists first and those talking about Hindu, Muslim, Sikh or Christian nationalisms were really anti-national, Press Council of India Chairman, Justice (retd) Markandey Katju said.

He also requested the media and citizens to encourage Indian nationalism.

"I don't agree with the remarks by Hindu nationalists as (theirs) is divisive talk and such divisive policies can't run the nation," he said in comments apparently aimed at Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, although he mentioned no names.

He was speaking about 'The Media's Role In Promoting Secularism' at an 'Excellence in Journalism' award function organised by Marathi daily 'Lokmat'.

Media and intellectuals must fight divisive tendencies like religion, caste, region, language and race, Katju said, adding that whatever united Indians would be the path to progress.

All Indians were first class citizens of the country and there cannot be any discrimination between communities, he said.

What anti-National statement has he made? Do you have an objection with this:

MUMBAI: Stung by Congress leader Digvijaya Singh's statement that Maharashtra's Thackeray family originally hailed from Bihar, Shiv Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray hit back on Thursday, saying Digvijaya was "mad".

"That man (Digvijaya Singh) is mad," an irritated Thackeray burst out to reporters who questioned him on the issue.

The Congress leader, however, was only quoting from a book penned by Uddhav's grandfather, Prabodhankar Thackeray, father of Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray.

Uddhav admitted that although his grandfather's book, "Mazhi Jeevangatha" (An Autobiography), does mention that the Thackerays' origins trace back to Bihar, it did not refer to his family, but only to the clan of Thakres.

"What he (Prabodhankar Thackeray) has written does not refer to my family, but to the entire Thakre community which lives in Bihar," Uddhav claimed.

Uddhav accused Singh of making "attempts to exploit the issue politically". He was at pains to dismiss the matter, which had come to a head after he had demanded that Bihari migrants entering Maharashtra in search of work ought to be given special permits.

Singh, on his part, has gone hammer and tongs at the Thackerays, flashing copies of the book, first published in 1995 when the Shiv Sena-Bharatiya Janata Party alliance was ruling Maharashtra.

The book, now enjoying wide publicity, has also emerged as a rallying point for anti-Thackeray lobbies.

The Congress leader pointed to sections of the book - highlighted for effect - that told of Maharashtra's numero uno political family and its origins in Bihar.

According to the author, the Thackerays originally hailed from Magadh in Bihar and migrated to Bhopal and later to Pune, in search of employment opportunities.

If you love Diggy bhow bhow, that is your business. There are others (IM goons, Paki-philiacs, etc.) who also love him. Frankly, I think he should move to Swat valley.

If the UPA comes to power again, i expect him to be a union cabinet minister with an important portfolio like home or defense.
