Muslims. . .first claim

 

This is nothing but an open invitation to anarchy, mayham and bloodshed. It is time the citizens of this country awaken to realise the dangers to to the integrity of the nation under the congress Govt. Yhe congress party must be decalred as traitors to the nation and banned immediaely.

First Claim

 

Oh Yes. Muslims must have first claim. Why divide India? Haj is subsided. Any subsidies for Hindus, Sikhs? If Madrassa education is not producing properly educated Muslims, is it fault of other communities? Saudi can subsidise haj, but India has been doing it to keep one community happy. Congress is the ACTUAL communalist party.

PM & Muslims

 

It is under the Congress Party the Bharat was partitioned; and it is the Congress Party that wants to partition India further.

This is the design of Sonia's backers.

muslims must have first claim...

 

A nation is judged by the way it treats its minorities. The record of Indian government since 1947 has been quite pathetic. PM Singh has taken one small step in the right direction.

Well done Manmohan

 

What the PM is trying to do is help the underdeveloped sections of Indian society to develop alongwith the rest of India and I think he should be commended for his efforts.

As usual the puppet is begging for votes

 

As usual the wonderful prime minister a.k.a Sonia's puppet is showing his true colors! After all, the 'secular' man wants to prove that he and his wonderful party are 'secular'. What rubbish! I wish our sheepish public finally realises that the Congress and Comrades are solely responsible for us still being a third-world country! Wake up, people!

Manmohan just defined what "Secularism" means

 

Is this your definition of secularism Mr Manmohan???

Ok then here is my definition of secularism:

Muslims had their first right to decide where there rights will be protected and they chose to create pakistan by dividing india. Now that they got pakistan they should all get the hell out of india. Once having created pakistan they have NO RIGHT (first or last) in INDIA.

If you and your italian boss don't understand this, both of you should go and live in pakistan too.

Hell with Congress and its pseudo secularism.

Jai Hind.

Good Job PM

 

Ask this PM if he knows the plights of minority hindus in Muslim countries if they have this liberty, particularly in Pakistan where buldozers are parked witin Temples.

I disagree

 

Why should the Muslims have first claim on resources? What is wrong with Hindus or Christians or Sikhs or so many other religious groups? Why shouldn't they have the first claim? Are all the rest of the people in India second class citizens? What kind of narrow minded politics is the PM trying to play to garner votes?

Muslims must have first claim on resources: PM

 

Hey

India is a country of example to "Unity in Diversity". This character of our great nation in trouble because of Congress govt ruled India more than 40 years, In their history they always religion used as gambling to keep them on power. This is not new to India or Indians.

The sad part is every body thought that Manmohan Singh and Soniji as great Visioner of India, that is also not true. If they think, they can do good for nation, bold step is to bring Common Civil code to bring all Indians under one law, One justice, One country that will make every body to feel as all we are Indians. Unfortunately Congress holding the same card of British policy as "divide and rule". This is time all our power media insist govt to bring up good policies, there is also problem is because our powerful press also owned by many politicians. So over all I feel, I am shamed our country is lost to thugs, rogues, rowdies, cunning politicians will sell our nation or make soon our people to slavery to neigbors or far away countries. Our politicians are not good for anything.
