NEW YORK: The Minaret, a local Muslim newspaper has in a front page article come out strongly against Dr. Karan Singh the Indian Ambassador to the Us. The headline reads “Welcome Maharajja of India HM Dr. Karan Singh.”
The article goes on to give Dr. Singh’s fundamentalist background. We quote some portions ..
when Dr. Karan Singh was health minister in late Indira Gandhi’s cabinet he used late Sanjay Gandhi (younger brother of Rajiv Gandhi) for his activities against minorities. For example: under the pretext of population control there ‘was a campaign against the Muslims. It is reliably learnt that thousands of young Muslims (from 1825 years old) were sterlised for cibly to reduce the Muslim population of India.
“No doubt, Dr. Karan Singh has good points also. As claimed he is the lover of nature, culture, environment, art, music, humanity and many more things.
Yes it is quite admirable that he is a lover of democracy. Yes it is to his advantage. He knows that the majority of the Indian population is Hindu and 90 percent of parliamentarians are Hindus, He can get any resolution passed in the Indian parliament, if he became the Prime Minister of India. Did he ever think of the different religious and sectarian minorities? Of course not. Under the banner of democracy he can obtain mandates from people at large for hi: activities.”
