We all know that enemy's enemy is a friend, while enemy's friend is also an enemy. And far from calling your enemy home, you would not even want to let him wander around your house. But India is a country where some people make friends with enemies of the country for the sake of politics and ideology and join their celebration.
Today we will expose some such people for whom the ideology of the enemy is bigger than patriotism.
This month marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. China can celebrate it in its country if it wants, but India cannot be a part of this celebration of China, because the country cannot forget what China has done on the border during the last year. Yet a few people from India joined the same celebration of China two days ago.
You can say that on the one hand, preparations are being made for a war with China on the border and on the other hand some people of the country are partying with China.
On Tuesday, the Chinese Embassy in India organized a video conferencing to mark the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party which was hosted by the Ambassador of China to India himself. But if you see the rest of its guest list, you will be surprised.
The Indian guests of this Online Seminar were Communist Party Of India (Marxist) i.e. CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury, Communist Party Of India (CPI) General Secretary D Raja, DMK MP S Senthil Kumar and the tallest leader of All India Forward Bloc G Devarajan.
The theme of this seminar was Sharing Experience on Party-Building, Promoting Exchanges and Cooperation. From this, you can guess why all these leaders had gone to participate in this seminar. These people wanted to understand the experiences and ideas from China.
The Ambassador of China also took full advantage of this opportunity and during his speech presented his country's side on Ladakh and Galwan and said that the whole world knows who did right there and who was wrong.
The leaders participating in this program are citizens of our own country. These leaders should stand with India at this time, but these people were silently listening to the lecture of the Chinese ambassador on Ladakh. Surprisingly, these leaders, who tweeted on the whole matter, did not inform anyone about this meeting.
Giving information about this program on its website, the Embassy of China has written that these leaders not only congratulated the Communist Party of China on the completion of 100 years but also praised the achievements of the Chinese government and said that in China, there is a government that takes care of the interests of the citizens.
But these people did not ask the Chinese ambassador what achievements he was talking about. Is snatching Hong Kong's independence an achievement? Is the suppression of Tibet an achievement of China? Is the threat of war to Taiwan an achievement? Or is the genocide of Uyghur Muslims an achievement of China? Instead of asking these questions, these people silently listened to the official speech of China.
These people could not say anything because we can never get an opinion on who is the enemy of the country and who is the friend of the country. India fought wars with Pakistan in 1965, 1971 and 1999, but even at that time India could not be united and many people in India were engaged in defending Pakistan or advocating for improving relations with it. Even today, many intellectuals, film stars and journalists of India are desperate to go to Pakistan. And when these people return from Pakistan, they say that they got a lot of love there.
Similarly, India could never be united on the issue of China. The Indian army is still stationed on the border in front of the Chinese army. The Indian government has banned China's mobile apps, has refused many Chinese companies from coming to India. The Prime Minister of India did not wish the Chinese President on his birthday. The Government of India did not congratulate the Communist Party of China on the completion of 100 years. But the leftists of India are rejoicing in the celebration of China. That is, these people have considered the enemy of the country as their friend. So then you think that what should be considered now because the enemy's friend is the enemy.
Overall, it is clear that the enemies of India are sitting not only on the other side of the borders but also within the borders of India.
However, after this seminar, CPI leader D Raja said that there was nothing wrong with this because 100 years of Communist Party of China is a big occasion and he attended this program to give his best wishes.
It is ironic that the ideology which is not with the country, the leaders following that ideology even win the elections. People vote for them and these leaders also reach Parliament and Legislative Assemblies.
There is still a Leftist government in Kerala. Left still has influence in the politics of West Bengal. In states like Tripura, there was a Left government for years and the present government in Tamil Nadu has Left at the centre of its ideology.
This is the reason that when the soldiers of India and China collide on the border, then these people never openly oppose China. Rather, they start asking questions to the army and government of India.
In the year 2017, when there was a dispute between India and China in Doklam, then CPI(M) openly supported China and wrote in its mouthpiece that India's proximity to America and Prime Minister Narendra Modi are responsible for this.
It was also written in it that China is angry with the support India is giving to the Dalai Lama. The mouthpiece also mentioned that India should not interfere in Bhutan's affairs and should allow Bhutan to resolve its border dispute with China on its own.
Left leaders who took part in the program of the Communist Party of China say that there is nothing wrong in this as leaders of other parties often do the same. These leaders also argue that they are trying to melt the ice between India and China.
Any country can fight with the enemy sitting across the border, but it is very difficult to fight the enemies sitting in its own border and at this time India has both these challenges. That is, there are enemies outside the border of the country and also inside the border.
