Fresh?Updates below – ?when Brinda meant stringest action she was not referring to the rapists but to the doctor who examined the victim
CPI-Mafioso loudmouth and Don Karat’s better half Brinda Karat appeared on Karan Thapar’s Devil’s Advocate and reminded us once again what ugliness lies beneath that fair skin. To refresh everyone’s memory it was Brinda Karat who in the run up to the state sponsored civil war on Nanidgram had called for a dose of “dum dum dawai” or mob lynching.
While we expected belligerence of Ms. Karat who would have expected that equivocation and deflection when it comes to sexual crimes on women perpetrated by her partymen.
Some snippets from Thapar’s interview
How embarrassed are you by the behaviour of your party cadres in Nandigram?
it?s really not the question of embarrassment
you are blaming the Press for the way it is reported ?
there has been a one-sided reporting on Nandigram
aren?t you now concerned about your cadre ?
my cadre has been at the receiving end of it for?11 months
CPM cadres have raped women you are not embarrassed by this behaviour ?
If it is true and it is being verified….
am sitting in front of a Politburo member who not even prepared to accept embarrassment at the behaviour of your cadres. How can we believe that your government will react when you won?t express embarrassment?
Embarrassment about what? You have to be specific.
Looting homes, burning homes, raping women, rendering thousands homeless… ?
?For goodness sake Karan, let us get things in perspective.
So that was Brinda Karat asking Mossamat Akhera Bibi and the victims of Nandigram, mostly muslim, to get things into perspective.
Well let us see how often Brinda Karat asks rape victims to get things into perspective:
25 Aug 2002 Mumbai Train rape incident
The AIDWA statement issued by its general secretary Brinda Karat on August 18 asked: Could not the five men who were witnesses, have prevented this terrible crime? Does not their silence amount to abetment of the crime?
Offstumped poser to Brinda – so should we take it that the CPI-M abetted gangrape in Nandigram ?
19 Nov 2006 - Khairlanji Massacre
Brinda Karat addressed a press conference and demanded that ….. the case should be immediately handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation without any further delay. The enquiry should be time-bound. She condemned the character assassination of the women victims and also demanded that the beat constable and the Dy SP be charged with dereliction of duty and removed from service
Offstumped poser to Brinda – So why should the Nandigram case not be handed over to the CBI and the police in Nandigram as well as the Government of Bengal be charged with dereliction of duty ?
POSTSCRIPT
The state health department has served a show-cause notice on the superintendent of Tamluk District Hospital for ?confirming? the rape of a woman during the recent flare-up in Nandigram.

Brilliant !
its very true that CPM are ruling as another Musharraf. They must be taught a lesson and especially KARAT’s.
What the hell they think of themself
Well written….
It looks like there is no difference between the Sanghis and Commies. Rape for them is a prescribed form of intimidation and subjugation.
Yup no difference at all between people who killed 100 million people in the past 90 years and anyone else
Who is communal? Congress, Communists or BJP

I love and agree to both of you.It is the quality of Hindu dharma only that it gives regard to others way of worship and tolerates other’s view-piont and allows an open debate for every issue. Similar is not the case of others.
1. There are nearly 52 Muslim countries. Show one Muslim country, which provides Haj subsidy.
2. Show one Muslim country where Hindus are extended the special rights that Muslims are accorded in India?
3. Show one Muslim country, which has a Non-Muslim as its President or Prime Minister.
4. Show one country where the 85% majority craves for the indulgence of the 15% minority.
5. Show one Mullah or Maulvi who has declared a ‘fatwa’ against terrorists.
6. Hindu-majority Maharashtra, Bihar, Kerala, Pondicherry, etc. have in the past elected Muslim as CMs; Can you ever imagine a Hindu becoming the CM of Muslim – majority J&K?
7. Today Hindus are 85%. If Hindus are intolerant, how come Masjids and Madrassas are thriving? How come Muslims are offering Namaz on the road? How come Muslims are proclaiming 5 times a day on loudspeakers that there is no God except Allah?
8. When Hindus gave to Muslims 30% of Bharat for a song, why should Hindus now beg for their sacred places at Ayodhya, Mathura and Kashi?
9. Why temple funds are spent for the welfare of Muslims and Christians, when they are free to spend their money in any way they like?
10. When uniform is made compulsory for school children, why there is no Uniform Civil Code for citizens?
11. In what way, J&K is different from Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu or Uttar Pradesh, to have article 370?
12. Why Gandhiji supported Khilafat Movement (nothing to do with our freedom movement) and what in turn he got?
13. Why Ghandiji objected to the decision of the cabinet and insisted that Somnath Temple should be reconstructed out of public fund, not government funds. When in January 1948 he pressurized Nehru and Patel to carry on renovation of the mosques of Delhi at government expenses?
14. If Muslims & Christians are minorities in Maharashtra, UP, Bihar, etc., are Hindus not minorities in J&K, Mizoram, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya etc? Why are Hindus denied minority rights in these states?
15. Do you admit that Hindus have problems that need to be recognized? Or do you think that those who call themselves Hindus are themselves the problem?
16. Why post-Godhra is blown out proportion, when no one talks of the ethnic cleansing of 4 lakh Hindus from Kashmir?
17. In 1947, when India was partitioned, the Hindu population in Pakistan was about 24%. Today it is not even 1%. In 1947, the Hindu population in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) was 30%. Today it is about 7%. What happened to the missing Hindus? Do Hindus have human rights?
18. In contrast, in India, Muslim population has gone up from 10.4% in 1951 to about 14% today; whereas Hindu population has come down from 87.2% in 1951 to 85% in 1991. Do you still think that Hindus are fundamentalists?
19. Do you consider that – Sanskrit is communal and Urdu is secular, Mandir is Communal and Masjid is Secular, Sadhu is Communal and Iman is Secular, BJP is communal and Muslim league is Secular, Dr. Praveen Bhai Togadia is ANTI-NATIONAL and Bhukari is Secular, Vande Matharam is communal and Allah-O-Akbar is secular, Shriman is communal and Mian is secular, Hinduism is Communal and Islam is Secular, Hindutva is communal and Jihadism is secular, and at last, Bharat is communal and Italy is Secular?
20. When Christian and Muslim schools can teach Bible and Quran, Why Hindus cannot teach Gita or Ramayan?
21. Abdul Rehman Antuley was made a trustee of the famous Siddhi Vinayak Temple in Prabhadevi, Mumbai Can a Hindu – say Mulayam or Laloo – ever become a trustee of a Masjid or Madrassa?
22. Dr. Praveenbhai Togadia has been arrested many time on flimsy grounds, has the Shahi Imam of Jama Masjid, Delhi, Ahmed Bhukari been arrested for claiming to be an ISI agent and advocating further partition of Bharat?
23. When Haj pilgrims are given subsidy, why Hindu pilgrims to Amarnath, Sabarimalai & Kailash Mansarovar are taxed?
24. Afzal Guru,attacker on Parliament,isnot being put to hanging inspite of repeated otders of supreme court?Could he be spared in any muslim or christian country for the same crime? No terrorist has yet been hanged.
