Mobs in Kenya have gone on the rampage after the killing of a prominent cleric, allegedly by security forces "in retaliation for the Islamist attacks on Westgate Mall, Nairobi". On being questioned by scribes, Singh added, "All these people have been hoodwinked. This is the typical handiwork of Modi and the Sangh Parivar. They have always used popular sentiment to and target a particular minority community. This was the exact pattern in 2002 with Godhra and the subsequent Gujarat riots".
He went on to warn the international community about the dangers of the non-secular, non-dynastic, non-sycophantic and development-oriented brand of politics being popularized by Modi. According to Singh, this new approach threatened the very fabric of democracy being followed for the last 65 years in the world's biggest democracy.
Starting with his state of Gujarat and now in the national mainstream as the only declared PM candidate, Mr. Modi now has his sights on the entire world. And he's apparently "sharpening his knife" using a soft target like Kenya.
Singh said he was gathering signatures from like-minded MPs to write a letter to the Kenyan President and PM outlining his concerns. He also planned to send documents containing irrefutable proof of Modi's involvement in recent atrocities against a particular minority community.
Singh claims he can do a better job, collect more than the 65 signatures that was collected in the anti-Modi letter to Barack Obama, and make Kenya the second country in the world not to issue a visa to Mr. Modi. Mr. Modi is apparently very keen to visit Nairobi and offer lip service and fake condolences to the victims of the recent tragedy.
However, Singh's sincere efforts were dealt a blow recently when the first MP he approached was convicted in a corruption case and disqualified from office after his Cabinet colleagues hastily withdrew an ordinance saving him and other convicted legislators from being thrown out of Parliament.
