"with specific reference to the mood of the country in 2017?Oh Absolutely."how correct- absolute is the understanding of the mood of the country" "Now it is a matter of judgement, whether you accept the explanation, you accept the reasoning and its rationale"The judgement on the mood of the country is highly personal and has no substantive base . "Do not create for one self or one's fellow beings an imaginary situation which is centuries back, when things were very different."All the comments do create an imaginary situation R.Ponnambalam

His statement was politically motivated and also his hate towards the ruling govt which has thrown them out of the power
I will tell you from my mind why that Swami Vivekananda quotation is so important. It\'s because in recent years, and I mean in recent years, not just weeks and months, the string of comments made by BJP men, members, ministers as well as leading figures of the Sangh Parivar seem to target the Muslim community in particular. I won\'t name people, but there was a minister who talked about Haramzade and Ramzade... There was a chief minister who said Muslims are welcome in India, but they must give up eating beef. There was the head of the RSS who said that all Indians are Hindus and immediately a senior minister added and Hindutva is the identity of India. And there was an MP who went on to become a chief minister who said that for every Hindu girl converted to Islam, he would personally convert a hundred Muslim girls to Hinduism. You are not just vice president, you are also a Muslim sitting and hearing this, and how did you as an individual feel on these comments were being made and made by people in power and positions of responsibility.
I will not talk about political people or political parties, but to me every time such a comment appeared or came to my knowledge, my first reaction was that
A: The person is ignorant,
B: That he is prejudiced, and
C: He does not fit into the framework that India has always prided to itself on, which is to be an accommodative society.
Once again that's a very important answer and the wise will certainly be able to understand what you are saying. Let me put it like this, something else has also happened. In the last few months the Supreme Court has ruled that Jana Gana Mana must be played before every single film screening. In more recent times the Madras high court has ruled that Vande Mataram must be sung at least once a week in Tamil Nadu schools and colleges and at least once a month in government offices and private establishments. Once again, these two rulings have divided public opinion. How do you view them? Do you see them as any example of judicial overreach or is it essential for us to pay this exaggerated obeisance to the national anthem and national song because our nationalism requires it?
The courts are a part of society. So, what the courts tend to say sometimes is reflective of what the prevailing atmosphere in society is. I call that a sense of insecurity.
With due respect to the outgoing VP,it seems to be the insecurity, emanating from getting off a coveted position,which Shri Hamid Ansari,had been enjoying for the last ten years, and before that, as a member of ruling elite in Lutyens Delhi,that has led him to talk about so called insecurity of Muslims.
The whole setting seems flawed and concocted.Why did he keep quite for the last 3 years?? Why did he reserve his outburst only for the last day of his assignment. Even the setting seems to be an artificial creation.Why interview given only to Rajya Sabha TV, which is under direct control of the VP himself ? Mr. Karan Thapar, who interviewed him, has been a known advocate of erst while ruling party at the center.On closer scrutiny of questions being asked,one may find Mr.Thapar trying to put words in the mouth of Shri Ansari, who on most occasions, is only guffawing answers in littoral yes or no.
As a highly erudite and graceful VP, one expected Shri Ansari to lament the time wasting tactics of our leaders in RS, with no respect to the millions of Indian taxpayers, whose money they squander off. Or to the shrill sloganeering, the so called Hon. MPs do in the well of the House, for raising irrelevant issues, but not the issues of development and deluge that the public might be facing.Unfortunately most of our RS MPs,are selected for chaperoning the cause of established political dynasties rather than for public work.One expected Sh. Ansari to address these issues profoundly.

Look around and see who the most violators of the laws are..... At the traffic signals, in the airport smuggling, giving support to terrorists, etc... No wonder they feel insecure, when they are being stopped...
