WHAT’S THE MOOT POINT?

PUNE MIRROR (pg18, 23DEC2010).

Rahul Gandhi is in midst of a row for his cable to a US official released by Wikileaks authenticity of which is still to be proved but opposition has already set their guns on him. I don’t understand the fuss generated every time a politician associates Hinduism with terror. I also come from same school of thought that terrorism has no religion but we should understand that the moot point is not the association of religion with terrorism but the formation of radical groups among religions which were immune to terrorism before. It’s high time that we’d understand that instead of fighting over the issue that whether ‘saffron terrorism’ is a misnomer or not we should convince the right wing politicians and groups that the people who are killed in terrorist attacks are not Hindus or Muslims but Indians.
