No religion to terror

Terror must not be attached to any religion. All religion condemns terrorism. No matter which religion the terrorists belong to, they must be awarded stringent punishment. There also must not any sort of politics over terrorism. The issue of terrorism is a matter of great concern for the nation. Congress and BJP are at war in blaming each other for promoting terrorism to create their respective vote banks. Both of them are least interested in combating terrorism. There must not be politics over Hindu or Muslim terror. Terror has no religion, caste and creed. It is the enemy of humanity. Undoubtedly, India has borne the brunt of terrorism most. But it does not mean that either the ruling party or the opposition should blame the particular religion or faith for terrorism. Congress and BJP both are playing vote bank politics. The statement of Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde in his address to party workers and leaders in Chintan Baithak at Jaipur that the Rashtriya Swayam Sevak Sangh and the BJP are running camps to promote saffron terrorism has made them furious. He has also cited the terror acts such as Bomb blasts in Samjhauta Express, Malegaon and Mecca Masjid in which the investigators have pointed clearly the alleged involvement of Saffron activists. On this count, the position of RSS and BJP appears to be shaky. There might be the possibility of some Hindu hardline elements' involvement in these terror acts. But it does not mean that the entire Hindu region should be blamed for promoting terror. This statement has upset both BJP and RSS. The BJP has even demanded the resignation of Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde. Can any religion sanction the bleeding of innocent persons? It is non-sense to implicate religion in terror act to defame the rival political party. Government needs to act firmly and decisively against all those who are involved in terror acts, no matter which religion they belong to. No religion teaches violence. Terror is the handiwork of misguided and fanatic elements. Terrorists have no respect for humanity. Shedding the blood of innocent persons is against the precept of all religions. No religion promotes terrorism. Politicizing terror for the sake of vote bank politics is against the interest of the nation.
