Politicizing and Communalizing Indian Army a crime by Manmohan, Sonia and company

Shame on Congress party, PM Manmohan and Super PM Sonia Gandhi in India. It is a disgrace to try and politicizing and communalizing Indian Jawans in the military to collect some Muslim votes in the next election.

The opposition National Democratic Alliance (NDA) on Tuesday stepped up pressure against a government-sponsored survey of Muslims in the military, petitioning President A.P.J. Kalam to have it halted immediately.

"It's a very serious issue. Nobody has ever thought of holding this kind of an exercise which this (United Progressive Alliance) government has done," former Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president L.K. Advani said after a meeting with Kalam, who is supreme commander of the armed forces. Advani also termed the survey a "shameless attempt to woo the communal vote". A seven-member panel appointed by the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) had in March 2005 asked the armed forces to provide data on the number of Muslims in their ranks, the positions they held and their role in some key operations.
