Make Hitler your idol instead of Vivekananda: Sanjiv Bhatt to Narendra Modi

Ahmedabad, September 20: Decrying Narendra Modi for using Swami Vivekananda as his political mascot and challenging his knowledge on Hindu philosophy, suspended IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt has written yet another letter to the chief minister.

Bhatt, a known Modi baiter had accused him of instructing state machinery to allow Hindus to vent out their anger against the minority community and earlier written a letter after the Naroda Patia riots case verdict.

"Did you ever think of Vivekananda or his ideology when thousands of innocent children of divine light were mercilessly massacred under your watch or when inconvenient and expendable individuals were liquidated at your instance?

Did the voice of Swami Vivekananda ever prick your conscience in the eerie silence of continuing subjugation and dominance?" Bhatt has written to Modi in his letter on Wednesday. In the letter earlier this month, Bhatt had accused the Modi of 'abandoning' his 'loyal lieutenants' after the Naroda Patia verdict. Now, he has condemned Modi of using Vivekananda for his political campaign. Modi has launched a state-wide Swami Vivekananda Yuva Vikas Yatra.

"Your megalomania for grandeur and self-consuming hunger for power can be appropriately graced by historical figures like Adolf Hitler, Pol Pot, Bernard Munyagishari, Radovan Karadžic or Ratko Mladic. Any of these icons would be appropriate mascots for the on-going Gujarat government funded Yuva Vikas Yatra," said Bhatt.

Challenges Modi's understanding of Hindu philosophy, Bhatt writes "it seems that you are not adequately acquainted with the major philosophical underpinnings of the thought systems of Hindu Philosophy".

"We know that Swami Vivekananda believed that 'Religion is the idea which is raising the brute unto man, and man unto God'. But you seem to have conveniently reduced God to a particular religion, a wholly misconceived religion that converts some of your enthusiastic and gullible followers in to heartless brutes who are potentially willing to kill innocent people.

"Where does Swami Vivekananda or his venerable ideology fit into your diabolical scheme of Realpolitik?" said Bhatt in the letter.
