There is fierce anger across the country against two Muslims who killed a Hindu tailor in Udaipur. But salute to the people of India that they have not taken the path of counter-violence. Many prominent Hindu and Muslim leaders have strongly condemned this massacre. Many Muslim leaders, considered to be extremists, have demanded the harshest punishment for the two killers. He has called both those killers not human but devil.
It is also worth mentioning that many extremist Hinduist leaders have also shown remarkable restraint on this occasion. This massacre has tarnished Islam all over the world, but the image of India’s tolerance has been inscribed on everyone’s heart. There were calls from my friends from many countries of the western and eastern world. They all include Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists and Jews. Everyone has condemned this massacre in one voice. Some Muslim friends from Arab countries told me that the abominations that have been done in Udaipur are not allowed in any Muslim country.
No person is allowed to commit such a heinous crime in Islam. The relation of these two killers is also being told with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. Both these killers have been going to these countries and there they have also colluded with extremist organizations like Dawate-Islam and Tehrike-Labayak. What is the truth in this matter, it will be known further from the investigation, but why should not India and all Muslim countries take a lesson from this incident that they should free their countries from all those institutions and organizations, which are doing religion in the name of religion. Inspire people to commit so many heinous crimes.
In this context, the enlightened Muslims will have to keep a tight control over all the madrasas as well. The supreme authorities of all religions should either weed out such things in their respective scriptures which have become contrary to the country and time or they should be interpreted in such a way that is suitable for the country and time. As far as our political leaders are concerned, their reaction is very sad. It is appropriate to express sympathy to the family of the murder-victims, but the mud that politicians are throwing at each other regarding this massacre is not at all appropriate.
Instead of resorting to this cheap politics, if our leaders encourage the spirit of religious, communal and caste tolerance among the people of India, so that such massacres never repeat in India. Why should the leaders of all parties not make such an effort that such killers, who are themselves witnesses of their misdeeds, and who have made their own video, should be given such punishment within a week-two-weeks that seeing which future Let the criminals stand up.
