Secularism has never ever been under so strain than now when every Tom, Dick and Harry gets away with whatever rot they speak out. UP Minister Azam Khan made a dig, under the veil of sarcasm, at the system by replying to a question on funds having been got for celebrating the 75th birthday bash of Mulayam Singh Yadav. He said, “Taliban ne diya, Dawood ne diya. Saara Talibaan ka fund hai” (The Taliban gave, Dawood gave. It’s all funded by the Taliban.)”
Is it a matter of pride or shame for the pseudo secular Congress, Communists and the so-called mainstream parties of Jammu and Kashmir not to speak a word over such nonsense by a ‘secular’ leader of a ‘secular’ party?
