West Bengal minister propagates theory of Muslim supremacy
Kolkata mayor and West Bengal Urban Development minister Firhad Hakim's nefarious comments at an event in Kolkata where he implied that with the Muslim population in West Bengal at 33 percent and an overall Muslim count of 17 percent overall in the country, the minority community could easily out number the populace of the majority community through the grace of Allah is not only repulsive but speaks of a sinister design to change the demographic nature of India. He also urged those present at the event not to rely on candlelight marches seeking justice for their grievances but increase their population to such an extent so that they can seek redress to their problems. Such fanatic remarks emanating from a minister belonging to the ruling dispensation in West Bengal which often describes itself as a champion of securalism is totally unwarranted and ought to condemned by all those who portray West Bengal as an oasis of communal harmony. This is not the first instance of Firhad Hakim's anti Hindu stance and his propensity to undermine the members of the Hindu community by asserting that those born in other communities other than Islam were an unfortunate lot and if a Muslim could convert even a single Hindu to Islam, the individual's place in jannat or heaven would be guaranteed. Earlier Firhad also expressed his wish that he would eagerly wait for the time to come when the majority of the people in Kolkata would speak in Urdu.The Urban development minister also made his intentions of turning West Bengal into a Muslim dominated state by referring to certain areas of Kolkata as mini Pakistan. If a person like Firhad Hakim's stature continues to belittle the Hindus of West Bengal by glorifying Islam, it's a matter of shame that such diabolical statements are not censured and allowing Firhad to persist with his communal agenda. Widespread agitations and protests is the need of the hour so that a minister belonging to a minority spewing venom against the majority community has to think twice before launching an open verbal assault against the concerned community. By remaining mute spectators the intellectually enriched citizens of Kolkata will give Firhad greater scope to humiliate and insult the Hindus and allow him to fulfill his objective of undermining the status of the Hindus with his contentious communal agenda which he has frequently revealed.
