The Dhaka Times Desk Former Indian Navy chief and senior military commander Arun Prakash has warned that the political leadership has failed to condemn calls for genocide by Hindu extremists against Muslims. For that, India may be headed for civil war.
He also termed the silence of the political leadership on this issue as ominous. He said these things in an interview given to The Wire. This news was given by Express Tribune, Pakistani edition of New York Times.
It should be noted that from December 17 to 19 in Haridwar, India, radical Hindus called for 'Safari Abhiyan' or genocide against the majority of Muslims. There has been intense tension in the country. Finally Chief Justice of India NV Ramana said to take up the matter for hearing.
Former Indian Navy chief and senior military commander Arun Prakash gave an interview to The Wire on this issue.
In that interview, Arun Prakash said that strict action should have been taken by condemning the political leadership on this issue. The reason is that if this trend continues, countermeasures will also come. Because of this, conflicts will inevitably arise later. This time the conductor asks him, is India heading for a civil war? In response, former admiral Arun Prakash said, of course.
Arun Prakash and three former Navy chiefs and a former Air Force chief wrote an open letter to Indian President Ram Nath Kovind, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on December 31 to take action against calls for genocide and genocide against Muslims. When asked whether he received any reply to these letters, he said no. I have not received any reply till now. But it is futile to expect such an answer.
At this time, Arun Prakash said, no former chief of the Indian Army agreed to sign our letter. Maybe they agree with the call for genocide or genocide. Or they may fear the consequences of signing such a letter.
Arun Prakash said that soldiers of all religions have been working in the Indian armed forces. Imagine the effect this issue has on a soldier's mind. Arun also felt that such talk would send a message of deep concern to the armed forces.
It is to be noted that since last December 17, Hindu fundamentalists called for genocide against the minority Muslims in Haridwar for three days. It was said in the closed door meeting that the Prime Minister of India will be a Muslim in 2029. As the Muslim population is increasing and our population is decreasing, in 7-8 years only Muslims will be seen on the streets.
At this time, another speaker said, killing Muslims is the only option. He also called for the recruitment of troops to achieve this task. He said, if you want to finish them, then kill them. We need 100 soldiers who can defeat 2 million of them.
Hindu Raksha Sena leader Prabodhananda Giri said that every Hindu in India should take up arms against the country's minorities, claiming that a Myanmar-like approach should be adopted to kill Muslims. Like in Myanmar, our police, our politicians, our army and every Hindu must take up arms and we must conduct an extermination campaign. There is no other option.
When the video of their discussion was released, not only Muslims, but also civil society, politicians and other people from various professions strongly protested it. Chief Justice of India NV Ramana has even said that the matter will be taken up for hearing.
