First it was the Bharatiya Janata Party and now it seems to be the turn of Congress to court controversy. Member of Parliament and Congress national spokesperson Manish Tewari inaugurated a programme called Santulan, launched by the controversial Divya Jyoti Jagriti Santhan, on Sunday.

Tewari was the chief guest at the function held in Hotel Parka Plaza. As per the DJJS officials, the programme will strive to fight female foeticide rampant in Punjab, and balance out the skewed sex ratio in the state.

DJJS, on its part, has always been courting controversy, and in December 2005, had come in direct clash with Sikh bodies after BJP Leader and MLA Harish Bedi had incited DJJS head Ashutosh Maharaj to hold a two-day convention in the city. The Day One of the convention had witnessed protests, which led to police firing and death of a person. Sensing trouble, the district Administration had called off the Day Two of the convention.

The head of this sect, Ashutosh Maharaj, has been under fire from various Sikh organisations after he is said to have spoken against Sikhs respecting Guru Granth Sahib as a guru, while this sect preaches the need for a living guru. An inquiry conducted by the SGPC way back in the nineties had alleged that the DJJS head also quoted freely from the Guru Granth Sahib, claiming it to be his thoughts.

About his decision to attend the function, Tewari said, "I am not concerned with the religious views or politics of a certain sect. It is the issue of female foeticide with which I am concerned. All people should support any organisation working to eradicate this menace. I would support this cause even if the SGPC or any other body worked against it." When reminded about the December clash that led to curfew in the city, he said, "I am not getting into a debate. If two organisation have an issue, they should sort it out between themselves through talks or through the courts."

BJP and congress are two sides of the same coin.

Hindu nationalism copied from the British. The Brahmin will never accept the Khatri, farmer or untouchable. Groups like RSS don't accept Muslims, Christians and Khalsa Sikhs.

The dalits and biharis feel 'safe' in punjab yet go to these imposters (ashutosh) and moan about india being a rat whole - why dont they go to delhi and complain about india being a <banned word filter activated> hole.
