Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) worker, his pregnant wife, and their eight-year-old son were on October 9 found murdered in West Bengal's Murshidabad district.
The bodies of Bondhu Gopal Pal, a 35-year-old primary school teacher, his wife Beauty, and son were found lying in a pool of blood inside their residence in Jiaganj area of the district.
This gruesome killings should bleed anybody's heart and put humanity to shame, but not a word has been spoken by the liberals and not one letter written by 59-brigade to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
This is nothing but nauseating selective journalism at best.
Consider this tweet by the Lutyens media ringmaster Rajdeep Sardesai. He writes: "The horrific Murshidabad triple murder is not linked to any politics or communal angle, West Bengal Police tell India Today. Yet, on social media, manner in which it has been played out suggests otherwise; even senior leaders putting out unverified details, gruesome videos only to incite."
In this tweet, Rajdeep has already given his verdict even before the matter could even reach the courts, by delinking the triple murder with politics and communalism.
He may argue that it is not he who is saying this, but the West Bengal police. So, in the same breath he could have believed Gujarat police, but he never did, despite the courts giving clean chit to them.
Rajdeep also goes on to blame senior leaders for posting unverified details and gruesome videos to incite people.
This gem can only come from the mouth of a person, whose entire career has been loaded with instances of doublespeak.
Consider his earlier tweets on Ishrat Jahan and Gauri Lankesh cases.
On December 5, 2017, Rajdeep writes: "Breaking news: Gauri Lankesh, journalist and a critic of Hindutva politics, has been shot dead in Bengaluru. Very disturbing."
On September 8, 2009, he writes: "Ishrat Jahan was killed in a fake encounter. Communalism of police force and a flawed system of awards has created this situation."
These are the tweets, which were posted, even before police could verify the incidents. In stark contrast to Murshidabad case, Rajdeep, without even waiting for police version, he linked Gauri's murder to Hindutva politics.
In fact, the truth is - The special investigating team, a wing of Karnataka police, is yet to establish evidence that the killers belong to any Hindutva organisation.
In Ishrat Jahan case, Rajdeep without any concrete evidence, calls the encounter fake and declares Gujarat police as communal.
Another unforgettable unverified breaking news he aired on CNN-IBN was the unauthorized Padarwada graveyard digging by Teesta Setalvad, which was exposed by a senior journalist of Headlines Today, Rahul Singh.
He had claimed that he was present at the time of opening of the graves and he was unaware that the graves were legal.
He also claimed that Teesta had brushed aside his ethical concerns and betrayed his trust by passing on the story to Rajdeep, who apparently was given all the information about the case, negating the investigative work being done by Rahul.
There are many such double stands of this Lutyens ringmaster over the years, which the world is aware of. But, one must dig into his past and try to understand why he hates Hindus and Hindutva and loves fundamental Islamist and terrorists.
Could he be suffering from Stockholm Syndrome?
Stockholm syndrome is a psychological response wherein a captive begins to identify closely with his or her captors, as well as with their agenda and demands.
The name of the syndrome was derived from a botched bank robbery in Stockholm, Sweden.
In August 1973 four employees of Sveriges Kreditbank were held hostage in the bank’s vault for six days by their captor Jan-Erik Olsson.
During the standoff, a seemingly incongruous bond developed between captive and captor.
Under this situation, the hostages are in a state of denial that the captor putting them in that situation, think he would let them live.
They also experience a type of infantilisation. They seek permission from the captor to speak, eat and use toilet like a child does.
The primitive acts of giving food and allowing hostages to use toilet makes hostages think of the captor as an emergency God.
In fact one of the hostages, Sven Safstrom, in a New Yorker interview said he felt gratitude when Olsson told him he was planning to shoot him, to show the police understood he meant business, but added he would make sure he didn't kill him and would let him get drunk first.
"When he treated us well, we could think of him as an emergency God," he had said.
Yet another claustrophobic hostage Elisabeth Oldgren said she thought that it was a very kind of Olsson to allow her to leave the
On one occasion a claustrophobic Elisabeth Oldgren was allowed to leave the bank's vault, but only with a rope fixed around her neck.
She said she thought it was "very kind" of Olsson to allow her to move around the floor of the bank, at that point of time.
So, Stockholm Syndrome is typically applied to explain the ambivalent feelings of the captives. Such feelings of Rajdeep can be deduced from an incident mentioned in his book - The Election That Changed India.
The attacks were reported to be coordinated by Dawood Ibrahim, leader of the Mumbai-based international organized crime syndicate, D-Company.
Ibrahim was believed to have ordered and helped organize the bombings through his subordinates Tiger Memon and Yakub Memon.
Soon after, Rajdeep wrote an article praising Dawood Ibrahim. In the last paragraph, he tries to make an absurd comparison of Shiv Sena chief Balasaheb Thackrey's patriotism with Dawood Ibrahim.
He wrote: Indeed, the loyalty test is so patently superficial that it is bound to be exposed sooner or later. For example, Mr. Thackeray has always seen support for the Indian Cricket Team when it is playing Pakistan to be a mark of a true patriot. He might be intrigued to learn that during the one-day internationals in Sharjah, one man who speaks fluent Marathi has been spotted waving the tricolour and vociferously cheering the Indian Team. His name is Dawood Ibrahim."
In the same article he wrote: "All this is not to deny the burgeoning growth worldwide of Islamic fundamentalism and its terrorist ways or minimize its capacity for mischief in a communally polarized India. However, it would be counter-productive, at least in the present circumstances, to project what is primarily a social problem and crisis of governance as a religious war. This is precisely what some sections of opinion, Hinduvta or otherwise, are attempting to do."
This simply was a desperate attempt by libtards like Rajdeep to rationalize Islamic terrorism. When they failed to rationalize this portrayal, they started blaming the Mumbai blasts on post-Godhra violence. Before this, they blamed it on Babri demolition and before that poverty and unemployment.
Isn't this a classic example of Stockholm syndrome? If the answer is in the positive, then logically, a pertinent question arises - Which is that incident in Rajdeep's childhood, that can justify his Stockholm Syndrome suffering?
Could it be a couple of incidents mentioned in his book: 2014 - The Election That Changed India?
While promoting the book, Rajdeep narrated how his vehicle was stopped by a mob in Gujarat while coming back after interviewing the then Chief Minister Narendra Modi.
He said people in the mob who were brandishing swords wanted to check if men in the vehicle were circumcised in order to unveil religious identity.
During certain interviews, Rajdeep laid emphasis on his circumcision and pointed out that his parents were rational in doing so.
Isn't this a big lie?
There is nothing rational about it. It is a known fact that remaining uncircumcised is a crime when it comes to the followers of Islam.
Actually, the real reason for Rajdeep's so-called rational parents circumcising him finds reference in the same book.
He writes (Translated from Hindi): My grandfather PM Pant, for more than three decades, was a most respected and decorated police officer. He also rendered his services as Gujarat police chief in 1970. He was a strong and disciplined officer and he stood witness to 1969 Ahmedabad communal riots. My grandfather died in 1999, but my grandmother is still alive and lives in Bohra Muslim Bahul Apartment Block ....
So, there should not be any doubt that Rajdeep's grandfather very well knew who were the perpetrators of communal violence in Gujarat, and hence, his parents circumcised him so that in any circumstances he is asked to remove his pants for Muslim identifaction, he could save himself from getting killed.
Here, Rajdeep forgets that circumcision is not related to hygiene, but to Islamic dogma. If Islamists are so given to hygiene, their burqa-clad women should not have been subjected to profuse perspiration in hot conditions. And also, should not get married to their first cousins, which results in deaths in early childhood.
Isn't this an explanation that Rajdeep is in a denial mood just as the victims of Stockholm Syndrome - linking his circumcision to hygiene, but not to Islamist dogma?
And also, writing in support of rapists, orthodox and fundamentalist Islamists and terrorists, who forced his parents to circumcision him. Period.
