Goa: chief Rakshus Pravin Togadia on Muslims as Rahus and the Christians as Ketus

Goan Observer, Panjim, 9-15 Oct. 2004

PARRIKAR-TOGADIA DOCTRINE

IT IS NOW official . Use and discard is the mantra of Manohar Parrikar
and the Sangh Parivar. We have it straight from the chief Rakshus Pravin
Togadia's mouth. In an interview to Sunaparant, Pravin Togadia has let
the cat out of the bag. And made public the Sangh Parivar's not so
secret agenda. To use, abuse and then discard the Rahus, the Ketus and
the Shanis.

Rahu, Ketu and Shani are demons in Hindu mythology. In his interview
with Sunaparant at the Mahalsa temple, Pravin Togadia is reported to
have labelled the Muslims as Rahus and the Christians as Ketus. Togadia
told Sunaparant that Lord Mahalsa had destroyed the demons Rahu and
Ketu. But they had been reborn as Muslims and Christians to destroy
Hinduism. The collorary being that it is the obligation of all fanatical
lunatic fundamentalist Hindus to destroy the Rahus and Ketus, meaning
the Muslims and Christians.

The Sangh Parivar and the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), which Pravin
Togadia heads, committed genocide in Gujarat. They would have succeeded
in getting rid of all the Rahus, (the Muslims) but for a change in
government in the Centre. The Sangh Parivar and the Vishwa Hindu
Parishad along with its criminal associates Bajrang Bal (we are sure
Hanuman who was a staunch secularist is not amused) have been targeting
the Ketus (Christians) for years now.

ATROCITIES
Recently a Parish priest in Kerala was brutally murdered by the criminal
mafia comprising the VHP and the Bajrang Bali. Even more shockingly, the
lunatics and the fanatics who claim to be the torch bearers of Hinduism
attacked the Missionaries of Charity, the order founded by Mother
Teresa. The great humanist who has been beatified and is due for
canonisation. A great soul who is held in reverence even by the head
priest of the main Kali temple in Calcutta.

In its interview to Sunaparant , Pravin Togadia, the head Rakhsus and
the patron sinner of all the Hindutva demons, reportedly has for the
first time categorically stated the BJP doctrine. “Hindus should make
use of these politicians who go after power and then throw them away.”
Significantly this doctrine was enunciated by Pravin Togadia in the
specific context of the Poinguinim elections.

But there is nothing new or surprising about this new doctrine
propounded by the chief Rakshus of the Sangh Parivar. Pravin Togadia's
most ardent, disciplined and most conscientious student has been
implementing the Togadia doctrine for years.

Manohar Parrikar came to power by using Dr Wilfred De Souza and
Francisco Sardinha. Then they had served their purpose Manohar Parrikar
pulled the chain and flushed them down. When it was the turn of the
one-time fierce loyalist of Manohar Parrikar, Micky Pacheco. Who was
summarily dropped from the cabinet. Though they do not know it the other
Ketus who are all set to be flushed are Philip Neri, the Velim MLA;
Mathany Saldanha, the Cortalim MLA; Francis D'Souza, the Mapusa MLA and
Babush Monserrate the Taleigao MLA. In the case of Philip Neri, the
Velim constituency is all set to vanish in the new delimitation
proposals. Babush Monserrate may however spring a surprise on Manohar
Parrikar and the BJP. He may pull the flush on the BJP before Manohar
Parrikar does so. Babush has made his intentions quite clear in an
exclusive interview to our correspondent Calvert Gonsalves.

The chief Rakshus of the Sangh Parivar, Pravin Togadia has spoken only
about the Rahus and the Ketus. As far the Rahus are concerned no doubt
in the coming elections Shaikh Hassan will be flushed out. But Manohar
Parrikar has gone one step further and has been systematically flushing
away not just the Rahus and the Ketus but also the Shanis. The Shanis in
the Sangh Parivar dictionary are the pseudo secularist among the Hindus.
Particularly the pseudo secularists in the Congress party.

Manohar Parrikar, the ardent disciple of the chief Rakshus, has already
used and discarded several Shanis. It will be recalled that two
prominent high profile Shanis who were part of the Manohar Parrikar
government, Ramakant Khalap and Ravi Naik the then deputy chief minister
in the Parrikar cabinet, were both used and discarded. And the others on
the list for being flushed away include Pandurang Madkaikar, the
Cumbarjua MLA, Sudin Dhavlikar, the present PWD minister and Babu
Azgoankar, who will have no roof over his head when his constituency
Dhargal is merged with the Pernem constituency. But of course the
biggest Shani who is all set to be flushed away is the LOO Pratapsing
Raoji Rane. Unless of course Pratapsing Raoji Rane decides to become one
of the Rakhshus.

The doctrine of Pravin Togadia of using power hungry politicians and
discarding them when they have served their purpose, should also serve
as a wake up call to other pseudo-secularists and power-hungry
politicians who have opportunistically aligned with the Sangh Parivar.
Heading the list of such politicians who are likely to be discarded like
so many used tissues or dirty linen is the Minister for Power Digamber
Kamat. Who in any case is already in disgrace because he failed to
deliver the South Goa parliamentary seat to the BJP.

The Pravin Togadia doctrine is not limited to politicians. As practised
by Manohar Parrikar it also applies to voters. There have been reports
in the ‘newspaper you can trust' that 150 motorbikes have been
distributed in the Poinguinim constituency. Soon after the elections all
the young men who have allowed themselves to be used will discover that
they have been literally taken for a ride. This is because only the
first instalment has been paid and after the elections, payment of the
further instalments will stop. And the finance companies who have
provided the money for the purchase of these motorcycles will repossess
them with goons supplied by the man who sponsored the motorbikes. All
that the young men have to do is check with the hundreds of other young
men who made a pact with the devil in Taleigao. And even those among
them who may get to keep the motorbikes will discover that there are no
roads to ride on. And that the money for the motorbikes have come from
the money that was meant for the roads.

As part of the doctrine of using and discarding voters a lot of poixe
is raining on Poinguinim. The principle is the same. Voters in
Poinguinim will and are making a quick buck. All the mega bucks that are
being distributed are coming from their own pockets. It is coming from
the pockets of citizens who have been contributing to the public
exchequer by way of Excise and Sales tax and motor vehicle tax, and road
tax and house tax. It is this very money that is financing the BJP's
election campaign in Poinguinim. The money is coming from the bribes and
the kick backs that Babush Monserrate and his cabinet colleagues have
been extorting from the people in other parts of Goa. And after the
Poinguinim elections, when those who have taken bribes go back to the
BJP and ask about development they will be told, as they were in
Taleigao, that they have already been paid their price. So how dare they
ask for more. The contract has been concluded. So if they want any
favours post elections they will have to pay for it. The voters in
Poinguinim have a choice. They can allow themselves to be taken for a
ride. They can allow the Rakshus to use and abuse them. But they aught
to know that the BJP and Manohar Parrikar and Babush Monserrate and all
those involved in the Poinguinim elections are only following the
Togadia doctrine. Not just politicians but bureaucrats and even the
ordinary voters who are greedy for power and for money should and will
be used and then discarded liked soiled tissue paper. The BJP will pull
the chain and flush them all away after the elections.

The time has come for you to make the choice. The time has come for you
to decide whether you want to be victims of the Togadia doctrine.
Whether you want to be used abused and flushed away like it has happened
in the case of the Rahus, the Ketus and the Shanis.
