The Cockroach Janata Party took to social media to slam the Karnataka BJP over a post targeting “Dimagi Naxals”, accusing the ruling party of using violent imagery against those it has labelled as “Naxals” and warning that the post amounted to an open call for “mass genocide”.
How did we allow ourselves to get here? These people do not believe in the Constitution. They truly do not believe in the concept of respect and tolerance for each other’s views and opinions. They truly do not believe that a democracy only lasts when answers are demanded from those elected. This is truly not the idea of India our Gandhis and Ambedkars believed in. It is sad. It is downright disgusting. I hope we are able to get out of this ugliness that has taken over our beautiful nation. We got our independence after much struggle.
In another post, Das said he was “saddened” to see what he described as the “world’s largest political party” consumed by hatred, alleging that it was “calling for MASS MURDER of a generation” that questions the government and seeks a better system. “Actually, a little saddened to see “the world’s largest political party” be drunk on so so so much hate that they don’t see any problem in calling for MASS MURDER of a generation that believes in questioning those in government and simply demanding a better system and a brighter future for themselves,” Das added. Drawing a comparison with Nazi Germany, Das said, “It’s literally what Hitler did with jews in Nazi Germany. How did we ever feel this was “normal” to post? And so we should never allow such scums to be in positions of such” The controversy follows Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Independence Day address, in which he said that while Naxals who had taken up arms in the jungles had been eliminated, there were also “dimagi naxals” in various parts of the country who needed to be “identified, and isolated. “For years, people with Maoist thinking were there in public life; even in government committees, this thinking had affected various institutions and initiatives,” PM Modi said from the ramparts of the Red Fort.
