Secularism has already been reduced to a show piece: Dal Khalsa

JALANDHAR: Radical Sikh organization Dal Khalsa has said that word "secular" in the Constitution had already been reduced to a mere show piece to hoodwink the international community and mislead minorities. This comment came as areaction to Shiv Sena's demand that words "secular" and "socialist" be removed from preamble of the Indian constitution on the grounds that India is a Hindu nation.

"Hours after Obama left the Indian soil, the Hindutva family sent Obama a message that they don't need his sermons on religious freedom and tolerance," said Dal Khalsa spokesperson Kanwarpal Singh.

"Like US president, the minorities especially the victims of politics of genocide and persecution fully know that they are now facing far more serious right-wing Hindutva dominance in the country. Hindutva chauvinism is not only a hindrance but a huge barrier to peace within India," he added.

Dal Khalsa spokesperson said that US president Barack Obama had rightly hinted towards the growing religious intolerance in India. He said the US president has shown a mirror to India. "It was our expectation that during his interactions with the Indian leadership, Obama would take up the issue of human rights violations and political aspirations of minorities. Anyway still his reminder to the India has put the things in perspective and Indian government could not even react to it," he said.

Dal Khalsa also held that the sea-change in US policy and perspective on present Indian leadership especially on present Prime Minister of India, who was a persona non-grata for the US few months back, was acutely worrisome for victims of human rights violations and minorities who had been facing state repression since long.
