Why is the Indian Media Targeting Varun Gandhi

While the Election Commission and the Uttar Pradesh Police investigate the communal remarks of Varun Gandhi, the ensuing Delhi based media circus should keep us entertained as real India makes up its mind on real issues.Coming back to the subject of this post, it is interesting that the Election Commission is picking on Varun Gandhi when far worse things have been said by the Congress on communalizing the role of the Election Commision. It is a commentary on the Delhi based medias BJP obsessive compulsive disorder that this story has been completely ignored.On 15th March 2009 the Congress Party organized a blatantly communal event in Chandigarh.The event was organized in a Mosque, Jama Masjid Sector 20 to be precise.The organizers of the event left no one in doubt on the communal intentions of the event. In a bid to woo the Muslim community ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, the Congress had organised a rally highlighting its secular credentials. Nearly 23 Muslim organisations from the city have also extended their support to the party. Addressing the event were AICC General Secretary Mohsina Kidwai and Chairman of All India Congress Committee Minority Cell Imraan Kidwai. Both the Kidwais speeches were markedly communal in nature but Mr. Imraan Kidwais remarks should be of specific interest to the Election Commission for he not just challenged the Constitutional Role of the Election Commission but sought to communalize it through a Fatwa. Imraan Kidwai, chairman of the All India Congress Community, Minority Cell, said that if he had the power, he would issue a fatwa asking Muslims to abstain from joining the BJP. He said the Congress had never tried to change the Muslim personnel law. Now that was just the medias watered down version for Mr. Kidwais speech also dwelt on atrocities on Muslims by BJP Governments. Does the Congress Party have the conviction to own up to its faith in Fatwas and Muslim Fundamentalist Clergy ti subordinate the Election Commission and the Constitution ? Will the Election Commission in the interest of Dharma initiate action against Mr. Imraan Kidwai and the Congress Party for this for this blatant attempt at voter intimidation through the threat of Fatwa via Muslim Fundamentalist Clergy ?
