Lynchings will be commonplace under Amit Shah: Kejriwal


Panaji, Apr 13 (IANS): If BJP President Amit Shah ever becomes the Union Home Minister, lynchings will be commonplace in India, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Saturday.

Slamming Shah's comments at Thursday's campaign meeting in Darjeeling, where the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President reportedly said that if the party is voted to power, all infiltrators in the country, barring Sikhs, Buddhists and Hindus, would be weeded out of India, Kejriwal asked how Shah would propose to dispose off Goa's Christian and Muslim minorities, which account for more than one third of the state's population of 1.5 million.

"Last time around, Amit Shah did not contest the Lok Sabha elections. He is now... and if Shah becomes the Union Home Minister, then there will be be mob lynchings throughout India," Kejriwal said while addressing a poll rally in South Goa constituency's Lohia maidan.

"If there are just three mob lynchings in Goa, tourists will stop coming to this state and Goa's economy, business and jobs will be affected," the Delhi Chief Minister said.

Criticising Shah's comments at the West Bengal rally on Thursday, Kejriwal said that in Shah's political lexicon, members of minority communities like Christians, Muslims, Parsis and Jains were "infiltrators".

"He (Shah) is saying it openly in poll rallies that barring three religions, all others will be removed from the country. This is a very dangerous statement," he said.

"Let us take the example of Goa. Goa has a population of 15 lakh of which 28 per cent are Catholics and 11 per cent Muslims. How will Amit Shah do it in Goa? Will he throw six lakh people in the sea, kill them, snatch their jobs and start riots," Kejriwal asked.

    While recently addressing a rally in Darjeeling, Amit Shah said that if the BJP was brought to power again in the 2019 polls, they will ensure the NRC is put in place across the country and followed it up with a rather controversial comment.
    We will ensure the implementation of NRC in the entire country. We will remove every single infiltrator from the country, except Buddha, Hindus, and Sikhs: Shri @AmitShah #NaMoForNewIndia

    What more dangerous is Dubai-based ‘Chowkidar’ gynecologist allegedly justifies the ethnic cleansing of Muslims and Christians. Reacting to Amit Shah’s recent controversial threats that his government in future will remove every single ‘infiltrator’ except Buddhists, Hindus and Sikhs, one Twitter user wrote, “Ethnic cleansing of Muslims and Christians is a poll promise in Indian elections.

    Lady well-known Doctor and Educationist in Dubai, living there for more than 25 years. In her tweet, she supports ethnic profiling and cleansing of Muslims and Christians in India. Her logic is blaming “Abrahamic Faiths” of working on an agenda of converting people through fraudulent means.
    There is a hospital from UAE, named Conceive Gynaecology and Fertility Hospital, owned by Dr. Pankaj Shrivastav. Dr. Nishi Singh has been the Campus Chair for Health Sciences at Dubai Women’s College, and Academic Chair for the Programme of Laboratory at the Higher Colleges of Technology.

    She follows and retweets some of the vilest Sanghis on twitter. Chef’Ali Vaidya, Lakad’Bagga, The Skin Doctor, Gaurav Pradhan, etc are a few of her favorites.

    If BJP comes back to power, Kashmir, Godhra, and Kandhamal will be repeated against Muslims and Christians all over India as prophecied by RSS Guruji in 'Bunch of Thoughts'.

    India pays homage outside Jallianwala Bagh memorial to mark the 100th anniversary. But Amit Shah had disclosed another grand plan of mass genocide of Muslims and Christians if voted to power.
