Congress General Secretary is standing by his comments on Hindu terror leaked by WikiLeaks. The leaked documents clearly shows like. "Responding to the Ambassador's query about Lashkar-e-Toiba's activities in the region and immediate threat to India, Gandhi said there was evidence of some support for the group among certain elements in India's indigenous Muslim community," the cable notes.

"However, Gandhi warned, the bigger threat may be the growth of radicalised Hindu groups, which create religious tensions and political confrontations with the Muslim community," it said.

So, should hindu terrorism be equated with lashkar-e-toiba?

It is not about a religion. but the people in such an association makes it extremist or a moderate. It has gone into the blood of we Indians that Muslim/Islam means jihad, terror and what not. But the same label if pasted to Hindutva, their blood boils.. This blood boiling itself is considered as a terrorism. And the politicians, atleast the non corrupted ones, please stop talking about hindu and muslim, please talk about Human beings.

No way, there is nothing called as Hindu terrorism out there, there are few organizations which are interested in protecting hindu values thats it. They are just targetting RSS here in this regard, where as Lashkar e toiba one has clear cut evidence out there, where as hindu terrorism is just like they are sitting and passing comments..

I appreciate your zest in defending hinduism. I dont think anyone should make such statements regarding terminating members of another community & curbing their population. We all need to realise that : THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MUSLIMS & ISLAMIC TERROR GROUPS. Please dont forget that LET & AL Qaeda end up killing Muslims as well in their bombings. Just for the record - Just like the fact that Islamic Terror groups dont represent all the Muslims, similarly certain extremist Hindu outfits don't represent all the Hindus. However, there are Hindu extremist & terrorists outfits in India who operate with their own agenda. Indians as one united country need to stand together in order to counter these threats to our way of life & our right to life.

I am supporting you only in the sense of joining terrorism with Islam. I know there are many peoples who have anger on Muslims because of past. But this is not place to express it. I think Muslims are basically not bad but there are misguided by Mullahs and Moulavis. But I am firm on statement that Hindutva is against terrorism and violence and if we talk about Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, this organisation was never against Muslims but it was against who are against Hindurashtra(India) by their origional philosopy.

The only possible reason Rahul would have called Hindu Terror groups a bigger danger is that external dangers can be identified basis their motives & mode of operations, but when you have elements like Sadhvi Pragya, The Sri Ram Sene etc who being an integral part of the nation, try to set it ablaze for ill founded reasons.....they can definitely be termed as more dangerous. even in the 26/11 incident, the external sources were so successful because of the help they received internally. 

So i feel keeping our political views aside we should try & find what really was behind this statement. I would also suggest on the same hand that we request Mr. Gandhi to release a statement on what he meant by what he said & this should clear the air to an extent.

i would humbly like to state a fact. it is not about politics or political parties. terrorrism is a global threat & the solution is majorly military response. i dont think that any other party in power could have a significant impact on curbing terrorrism in general or the might of pakistani funded terrorrist organizations. Rahul stated a fact as it is. the involvement of indian nationals in helping terrorrists or resorting to subversive activities is not confined to muslims and this has been proved many times. calling rahul immature can be your point of view which i respect but that does not certify him as immature! Thank You.

Rahul Gandhi is very envious and jealous about Hindu community,so prejudiced,unhealthy and irrational comments came out of his mouth. Never Hindus' waged wars against any country. But Hindus' suffered many wars from China and neibouring Pakistan. Never Hindus' plundered any country, but Hindus' were looted by Muslim Invaders, British Tyrants, French and Dutch traders. Hindus' never propagated for Religious conversions. But Christian Missioneries trying their might since centuries to convert Hindus into their Religion. As a General Secretary of Congress he had no strength to rehabilitate displaced Hindu Pundits of Kashmir, but he is talking  in support of Terrorists and their henchmen in our country. Many Temples demolished, Presiding deities jewellery,funds and lands were looted and their Religious structures were demolished. But in the annals of history, Hindus' never looted or demolished other Religious places of worship. For the kind information, people of other Religion think that it is a sin to visit Hindu Temples. But Hindus' visit places of worship of all Religions. World community know pretty well that Hindus are pious,patient and peace loving people, though Mr.Rahul Gandhi doesn't know. I request him not to loose his tongue to woo minority communities. He should understand that him-self and his mother  too elected to the Parliament by the votes of majority community.

No we can never equate any Hindu outfit with the lashkar-e-toiba or whatever their new name is .Rahul's apprehensions are not without reason though, he should have seen it coming being the scion of the major political party and the so called "royal family" of India. The Extreme Hindu Organizations have not sprung up recently , it took time and lot of resentment ;resentment at being manipulated and taken for a ride by the system which has better prospects for the marginalised and "minority" communities , by nature hindus dont look for a fight not because they cant its just that they are not organized enough . but even so what do they do when they feel cornered , what will anyone do? , they fight back . God forbid if things get out of hand.

Rahul Gandhi's fear is baseless.  It the sheer outcome of his inability to penetrate deeper and convert sympathy into votes. Congress has been nursing a legacy of pleasing the minorities.  Rahul gandhi's remark is  a clear reflection of this. Perhaps, he will receive some celestial blessing from M.A.Jinnah who was an expert in manipulating things.  Rahul Gandhi should try to see things thorugh his own eye.  He need not be unbiased.  At least, he can refrain from making statements that are not based any substantial evidence. As a youngster, he can devote his time and energy in learning more about chandrayan.  Let him not be a spokesperson of his party, a post that is not assigned to him. Let him also keep in mind that people value a burning contemporary issue in the light of what has happened and not what is projected or hyped.

Mr Gandhi's comments are symptomatic of the way security issues are dealt with by our country's political establishment - with rank amateurishness and disregarding facts. The facts are as follows:- 1) Since independence the country has faced a number of militant/terrorist threats, starting with the north-east, followed by Punjab, then Kashmir, along with intermittent Maoist violence and sporadic bomb blasts in large cities, which is a relatively new development 2) How is supposed 'Hindu' terrorism responsible for these? 3) There may well be some lunatics connected to some 'Hindu' organizations who might have indulged in the sort of mindless violence, which Pakistani sponsored groups have been practicing for a long time now within this country. On what basis has Mr Gandhi qualified them as MORE dangerous? Has his govt or party carried out a credible threat assessment, or has he now become used to speaking with a loose toungue in the manner of most of our politicians? 4. What is the need to discuss this with an American diplomat? Are we going to solve our problems, or are the Americans? 5. If it was any other MP with a loose toungue who did not have his facts clear, we would treat such pronouncements dismissively. The problem is, their source is the prince of the Congress, and by extension the uncrowned prince of India. 6. While Pakistan and China have acted with clear intent and focus to keep India on the boil, our political class seeks to confuse and mislead us, so that they cannot be held accountable for their lapses. The most shocking thing about 26/11 was that for full 48 hours, nobody seemed to be in control at the scene - this in a country which has repeatedly suffered form organized terrorist acts, and where there are enough capable people to deal with such emergencies. Its this political class which awards high office to those beareaucrats, policemen and defence forces, who are willing to be their accomplices in corruption. I think Mr Gandhi is a sincere politician, the problem is politics in India is a family business, where those born in the right family need not train themselves and progress by degrees to earn their positions. If you are MP Rahul Gandhi, or even Priyanka's daughter (or does she have a son?) you can make significant pronouncements to American diplomats, and probably send the country's security establishment to hunt down 'hindu' terrorists, while the proven ones being sponsored by Pakistan, or Maoists, ULFA, Bodo, go about their business. Life in this country is cheap, probably because there are more than a billion of us, and a few hundreds getting killed each month is not such a big deal to stop us going about our business

Rahul gandhi needs to learn more in politics, he is immature & not enough to be PM for country like INDIA which is already not easy to be ruled, Hindu terrorism is nothing but a new slogan of congress to gain some community votes,,,, Not a single country in the world had seen any attacks on the name of HINDU religion, if any hindu is behind any criminal activity, how come o1 can come to conclusion the HINDU or SAFFRON terror is prevailing,, Mr Gandhi need to learn more about INDIA & INDIANS keepig in mind that he is in Indian from hardly last 10 yrs before that he might be living a luxurious life outside the country, then prepare himslef for politics or else congress will loose next election nationwide,,, if rahul ji would have been right then why congress managed to win 4 sets in bihar elections although they were contesting on all seats and rahul ji was their promoter.. Mr Rahul please do the politics of development not divide n rule as it is happening till date. Atleast show to Indian people that you are young generation who is development oriented leader...

as per govt listed 34 banned organizations, the majority are Muslim outfits and few are for particular state centric like bodo or ulfa etc.etc,no hindu organization including any hindu terrorism in that list. That itself is self explanatory for clean chit.However no organization is above law and terrorism has to be stamped out in our motherland which is embodiment for love and peace.

Hinduism can not be compared with any terrorist fanatic as hinduism is a philosophy which even accepts atheists violence is not in its culture otherwise we may not be ruled by outsiders for so many years .if Rahul Gandhi has commented like that he has shown his ignorance of hindu word and philosophy behind it .

One of the meanings of Hindu word is who becomes sad because of violence. Hinduism apologies any violence except  violence for self or goodness protection. So  Hindu can not be terrorist and a terrorist can not be Hindu though he/she is from RSS or Sanatan or VHP or Sivsena! Jai Hind!

Never, Rajiv Gandhi should not have given such statement to a third party like United States of America which is not going to help in the polls. It is pure immaturity. We are very sad that these are the people who represent india to the world. There are much more intelligent and diplomatic indians who can converse with foreigners. It is a disgrace that such a statement came from a member of Nehru family!!! Shocking !!!

This shows the immaturity of the guy.Or he is just repeating the congress way of diverting the attention of the people as they are not able to contain the threat from L.E.T, SIMI and other radical muslim bodies for the fear of losing of muslim votes. The Government of the day is not able to carry out the death sentence of you know who and to dilute the case against  the accused in the case of 26/11 their general secretary make a lousy statement. The congress cannot protect the interests of any community as long as they play the vote bank politics.

they cannot be equated. its one thing to stand outside ur enemy's house & set it on fire because of your differences. however, if you have a fight with some one at your home & you set fire to your own house to vent your anger, it is called acute lack of common sense & total disregard for the consequences of your own action. this can only be termed as rabid anger.
