Shiv Sena Preaching Non-Violence? Incredible!

But that’s exactly what is happening. Read this extract from a report in The Indian Express,

Shiv Sena on Tuesday asked politicians to show ‘restraint’ in reacting to incidents in Mumbai warning that the move to whip up anti outsider feelings had danger of snowballing into a major issue.

“I will counsel political leaders from all sides to be restrained in their reactions”, Senior Sena member and Former Lok Sabha speaker Manohar Joshi said in Rajya Sabha.

I pinched myself hard…not once, but twice to make sure that I was not dreaming. The party whose very existence hinges on it’s violent nature, is talking about peace, restraint, blah…blah…blah. These retards were the very guys who stoked violence against the migrants in the 1960s. Hypocrites!

So, I would suggest one thing to all the political parties in India: first decide what you stand for and then stick to it, no matter what the consequences. At least this will lend them some credibility. I must appreciate the Communists here, no matter how rusted their ideologies are, they stand by them, to the utter disgust of everyone else (the nuclear deal, for example). Heh.
