Dargah demolition avoidable?
Dargah demolition could've been avoided: Centre
New Delhi, May 4: The Vadodara administration could have avoided demolition of a dargah in view of the people's sentiments associated with the old shrine, Union Minister of State for Home Sriprakash Jaiswal is understood to have stated in a report to the government.
...
Sure, why not? At any cost, do not hurt the sentiments of the minority community. First the Hight Court pulls up the Vadodara admin for not razing illegal structures, and then the Supreme Court stays the order. And look at Indian Express, article after article on the front page about the trouble in Vadodara, simply because it is Modi's land. But totally mum about the 32 Hindus killed in Kashmir which happened just two days prior to this (see previous post). That is pseudosecularism in all its glory.
