Politics of Religion

The Mulayam Singh Yadav government in Uttar Pradesh on Friday withdrew its controversial order to close teaching work in government schools and colleges by noon on Fridays to facilitate Muslims to offer prayers.
Comment: What is the use of such a move? Whom is it serving? Even after 50 years of Independence minority pandering goes on. There should be emphasis on development work not give out orders which no one wants.
The MP Govt wanted a ban on wearing of jeans by girls saying that it was against the Indian culture..!!
Cooment: The MP Govt came to power promising that it would give basic necessities to people like Bijli. sadak, Pani. But what has been done? There is nothing in sight for these people. On the grounds of culture etc it has been only doing more harm to people. There was a report that MP Govt bad also banned fishing by tribals in Narmada waters near a religious centre. But for these tribals eating fish. eggs etc is the only way they can get nutrients cheaply. But the MP Govt could not care less. The sooner these acts are stopped & government gets down to development work (MP is one of the BIMARU states) the better it would be for the people & the Govt.
