‘Appeasement’ Fear
Dear Leaders of Opposition
Shri Rahul Gandhi and Shri Kharge
Are you not aware of the atrocities happening against the Muslim population of the country? You talk about every issue–exam paper leaks, stock market manipulation, electoral bonds, Adani plunder, and quite rightly so but avoid speaking against the atrocities inflicted on the Muslim community even as they have voted for you en masse in the hope of protecting their right to life (yes, you also carefully avoid talking about EVM manipulations on platforms that matter).

Your silence is due to the fear of 'Muslim appeasement' allegations. Your silence in the Gujarat genocide was also for the same reason, but what gain you made there you may ponder- you didn’t even speak when a Congress leader, MP, and freedom fighter himself was charred to death. It was your party's silence that brought the forces of genocide to rule over this land of the Mahatma. Shri Rahul Gandhi has said that India's democracy is a global public good, but your silence on the atrocities against Muslims is as deplorable as the atrocities themselves. By falling for the appeasement fear you are gravely mis-estimating the worldview of the millions of Hindus who voted for you, and betraying the millions of Muslim and secular citizens who voted for you.
Best regards
