‘हिन्दुत्व आतंक के मास्टरमाइंड कब गिरफ्त में आएंगे, यह सवाल आज बेहद मौजूं हो उठा है। अगर इतने सारे प्रमाणों के बाद भी उन्हें गिरफ्तार नहीं किया जा रहा है, इसका मतलब कहीं गहरे में हमारी प्रशासकीय मशीनरी का भी साम्प्रदायिकीकरण हुआ है, न्यायपालिका ही नहीं गुप्तचर एजेंसियों के बीच भी साम्प्रदायिक सहजबोध हावी है, यही मानना पड़ेगा।’ सामाजिक कार्यकर्ता श्री सुरेश खैरनार ने उपरोक्त विचार ‘भारत के जनतंत्र के सामने दक्षिणपंथ की चुनौती’ विषय पर आयोजित परिचर्चा के दौरान अपने अध्यक्षीय उद्बोधन में प्रकट किए।

Last twenty years have witnessed an unmistakable right wing upsurge in politics, economy and the society at large. Ever since the term emerged from Estates General of 1789 France, right wing politics has stood fundamentally opposed to struggles for an inclusive democracy based on principles of equality and freedom. In India, political parties based on sectarian religious, nationalist, ethnic and regional agendas have flourished.
