INDIA IS inflicted with a galore of terrors – Naxalite terror, Islamic terror and Hindu terror etc. ‘Islamic terror’ the most prominent among these was not ‘made-in-India’. These words were coined in West. Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and its cohorts in India were very comfortable with these words as long as it brought odium for minority. They never bothered to ask themselves why an entire community should be painted with this brush for the acts of some brain-washed fanatics who happened to be Muslims. It is on record that each and every Indian Muslim organisation, without exception, had condemned them in strongest terms; they have never supported their heinous…

New Delhi: The RSS has slammed Home Minister P Chidambaram for his “saffron terror” remarks saying it has exposed the Congress’ strategy of votebank politics. “It is a political conspiracy for votebank politics to place saffron before Islamic jehad sponsored by Pakistan which has killed thousands of people so far,” Sangh mouthpiece ‘Panchjanya’ said in its latest issue. The editorial said that by making the remarks at a conference of police chiefs recently, Chidambaram has only exposed the “mentality” of Congress. “…The 85 percent Hindus of the country should now understand that their interests are not safe under the present government…only a united Hindu power can defeat such…

ROBIN HINDERY Associated Press Writer= SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California lawmakers have rejected a bill seeking to ban plastic shopping bags, after a contentious debate over whether the state was going too far in trying to regulate personal choice. It would have been the first statewide ban, although a few cities already prohibit their use.
