जनसंख्या सम्बन्धी गृह राज्य मंत्री का बयान राष्ट्र हित में व्यक्त चिन्ता : डा सुरेन्द्र जैन

         
नई दिल्ली। फरवरी 14, 2016. भारत के गृह राज्य मंत्री श्री किरेन रिजीजू ने हिन्दू जनसंख्या में कमी पर जो कहा है वह एक जिम्मेवार नेता की राष्ट्र हित में व्यक्त एक गहरी चिंता का परिचायक है। विश्व हिन्दू परिषद के अंतर्राष्ट्रीय संयुक्त महा मंत्री डा सुरेन्द्र जैन ने इस वयान का विरोध करने वाले नेताओं को आड़े हाथों लेते हुए कहा कि वे ओछी राजनीति के शिकार बनकर अल्पसंख्यक तुष्टिकरण की राजनीति करते हैं जिससे न सिर्फ मुसलमानों, बल्कि, देश का भी अहित हो रहा है। विश्व के सभी सभ्य समाज आज परिवार नियोजन को स्वीकार कर रहे हैं किन्तु ये नेता अपना स्वार्थ सिद्ध करने हेतु आबादी बढ़ाकर उन्हें विकास नहीं, सच्चे विनाश की ओर ले जाकर जिहाद की आग में झोंकने का कार्य कर रहे हैं। मुस्लिम समाज की वर्तमान स्थिति को देख कर आसानी से समझा जा सकता है कि ये नेता उन्हें भारत में भी स्वाभिमान व शान्ति से नहीं रहने देना चाहते। एक तत्थ्य इन राजनेताओं को समझना चाहिए कि स्वयं बौद्ध होते हुए भी, श्री किरेन रिजीजू ने इस विषय पर अपनी चिंता केवल देश हित में ही की है।
उन्होंने यह भी कहा कि विश्व हिन्दू परिषद मुस्लिम समाज का विरोधी नहीं है। हम मानते हैं कि वे सभी इस देश के ही धरती पुत्र हैं जिनके पूर्वज हिन्दू ही थे किन्तु इसी गैंग के कारण उनमें असहष्णुता पनपी। कुछ शताब्दी पूर्व इरान पारसी बाहुल्य होने के कारण वहां विश्व कल्याण कारक शान्ति के स्वर सुनाई देते थे। इसी प्रकार कश्मीर घाटी में मार्तण्ड विश्व विद्यालय के माध्यम से विश्व भर के विद्यार्थियों को विश्व कल्याण का पाठ पढ़ाया जाता था किन्तु आज वहां की स्थिति किसी से छुपी नहीं है। भारत के अन्य राज्यों के मुस्लिम बाहुल्य जिलों में भी गैर मुस्लिम किस तरह का नारकीय जीवन जी रहे हैं, सर्व विदित है.
विश्व हिन्दू परिषद का मत है कि इस सैक्यूलर माफिया को सिर्फ अपने स्वार्थ की ही नहीं, बल्कि, देश व मुस्लिम समाज के हितों पर भी विचार करना चाहिए. हमारी मुस्लिम समाज को भी सलाह है कि वे कठमुल्लों और इस सैक्यूलर गेंग के शिकंजे से बाहर निकल विकास के मार्ग पर बढ़ें न कि जिहादी मानसिकता से विनाश  के मार्ग पर.

CM in Waiting,VK Sasikala to 4 year jail term

Supreme Court today convicted AIADMK ad-hoc General Secretary VK Sasikala in a 19-year old disproportionate assets case that also involved late former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa. In the court’s verdict in the case, Ms Sasikala and her two relatives were found guilty under Prevention of Corruption Act.
A bench of justices PC Ghose and AK Roy directed them to surrender forthwith to the trial court in Bengaluru and serve the remaining part of the four year jail term. The AIADMK General Secretary cannot also contest elections for the next 10 years. The bench, however, abated the appeal proceedings against Ms Jayalalithaa owing to her death.
The apex court set aside Karnataka High Court’s order which had, in May 2015, overturned a trial court’s verdict exonerating Ms Jayalalithaa and Ms Sasikala. Karnataka government had challenged the High Court verdict in the Supreme Court.
Today’s verdict disqualifies Sasikala from becoming a legislator, and she can’t be the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister either. She is locked in a power struggle with acting Chief Minister O Panneerselvam over government formation in the state. Ms Sasikala was elected as the AIADMK’s legislature party leader last week, paving way for her to become the Chief Minister. Panneerselvam had, however, revolted against Ms Sasikala saying he was forced to resign.
VK Sasikala faction elected the serving PWD minister Edappadi Palaniswamy as the new Legislature Party Leader. He was elected by MLAs owing allegiance to Ms Sasikala in a meeting held at the Kuvathur resort near Chennai. Ms Sasikala was also present in the meeting. The letter endorsing Mr Palaniswamy as the new legislature party leader has been sent to Governor Vidyasagar Rao. The legislators also removed O Panneerselvam from the primary membership of the party.
Meanwhile, Mr Panneerselvam has appealed to all AIADMK MLAs and cadres to unite together in the prevailing situation to continue the works left by Ms Jayalalithaa. Following the apex court verdict, he issued a statement promising that there would not be any hesitation from his side to give due importance the leaders of the party were so far enjoying. He has also asked his party cadres not to fall into the ploys of the opposition that tries to create division in the AIADMK. Heavy posse of police personnel are deployed near the beach side resort where Ms Sasikala and her party MLAs are staying.
Principal opposition party the DMK’s working president MK Stalin has welcomed the apex court verdict saying justice has been done in the case. He told media that the judgment would remain a lesson for all politicians. PMK founder Dr Ramadoss has said Tamil Nadu has been spared from a possible political mishap. The VCK chief Thol. Tirumavalavan has favoured fresh elections to the state Assembly.
BJP has termed the verdict as historic. Talking to AIR, party General Secretary Murlidhar Rao said, the verdict will have consequences for Tamil Nadu polity and will also have an impact on national politics. He said, AIADMK has to introspect and select a leader who can provide clean politics and administration. Mr Rao said BJP will support any constructive move in the interest of Tamil Nadu. Congress has said, the Tamil Nadu Governor must call a special assembly session and both the AIADMK factions. Talking to media, party spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala said, this is the only way forward.
