Some points on Rajdeep Sardesai's open letter to Uddhav Thackeray
Friday, February 12, 2010
In an open letter to Uddhav Thackeray, on the Shiv Sena severe
criticism of Shahrukh Khan, Rajdeep Sardesai writes: "Sharukh is no
surprise since the Sena has always been uncomfortable with the Indian
Muslim identity."
Clearly the secularists cannot view ANY issue except on communal
terms. There are some Muslims who are members of the Shiv Sena and
also who support the Shiv Sena. I guess, accoroding to Rajdeepji,
they are really not true Muslims. And what about Muslims who have
also criticised Shahrukhji on this issue? I guess, they too are not
true Muslims.
Rajdeepji also writes: "You've called Sharukh a traitor for wishing
to choose Pakistani cricketers in the IPL. "
This is an utter and blatant lie. But then to show one's so-called
secular credentials it is necessary to resort to lies. Without which
one cannot make any case.
Rajdeepji knows (or should know) that Shahrukh was termed a traitor
by Shiv Sena because he said that Pakistan is a GREAT neighbour.
Now, one can say that Shiv Sena is wrong on this issue. But bring
out his statement out in the public, rather than tell les.
Furthermore, Shajrukhji should be asked why he did not choose any
Paksitani players himself.
Rajdeepji would like Uddahvji to focus on some important issues. For
example, he writes: "Farmer suicides still continue, the after-
effects of drought are still being faced in several districts, but
the focus is now squarely on finding high profile hate figures."
I am sure if Rajdeepji devotes the resources of his channel on these
important issues, instead of giving a minute-by-minute report on the
travel programme of Rahul Gandhi in Mumbai, the people of this
country would be eternally grateful to him.
Rajdeepji writes: "The Congress-NCP government in the state has been
thoroughly incompetent: the last decade has seen Maharashtra decline
on most social and economic parameters."
I do not watch Rajdeepji's channel. Has he highlighted this issue of
incompetence in any meaningful manner?
A general question. Has Rajdeepji written an open letter to Digvijay
Singh on the latter's visit to Azamgarh in UP, which is well-known to
be a hotbed of creators of terrorists in India? He will probably
write a letter in open praise of Digvijayji.

Rajdeep Sardesai is a known Hindu hater and is paid by some agencies
to write against Hindus.
It is a very valid question to Rajdeep ......" Has Rajdeepji written
an open letter to Digvijay Singh on the latter's visit to Azamgarh
in UP, which is well-known to be a hotbed of creators of terrorists
in India? He will probably write a letter in open praise of
Digvijayji."
Despite my negative comments about Thackerays regarding their Marathi
Manoos campaign against Biharis and UP people, I must say that they
were quite right in saying that Shah Rukh Khan was anti- National in
trying to teach his fans that "Pakistan is a GREAT Neighbour"
In fact Shah Rukh Khan did manage to teach this untruth to lot of his
young but stupid fans. There is nothing wrong if Shiv Sena objects to
this statement and subsequent actions of Shah Rukh Khan. He must
apologise for his foolish comment.
Hindus would do well to remember the true credentials of a Muslim
despite his cleverly chocolate coated exterior.
