Rajasekhara Reddy’s Secularism

A delegation of Muslim groups led by Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi met Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy and requested that Ahamadiya Muslims be prevented from holding their centinary celebrations and guess what happened? Andhra Pradesh did a Pakistan on them and so Rational Fool asks

Since when did a secular state take sides in theological and religious squabbles? To put this in perspective, will Mr. Reddy bar the Arya Samaj from holding a convention in the city, if a few Bajrang Dal activists proclaimed that the Samaj is a renegade sect, and if allowed to exercise their constitutionally guaranteed freedom of expression, it would hurt the sentiments of millions of Hindus, leading to a law and order problem? Will Chief Minister Reddy go to the bat for them, if the Muslims claimed that idol worship was against the core values of Islam, and therefore, all such worship, including the ones offered to the icons of Buddha, Jesus, and Ram, should be barred in the city of Hyderabad, unless the government wanted blood on its hands? Blackmail, you say? You bet it is!
