If the BJP government is uncomfortable with being called fascist, why did it show the world the filth of passing crucial bills by expelling 143 opposition members from the 540-member parliament? Isn't that the ultimate proof that it is fascist? For people for this to be proved that it was a slaughter of democracy by the media, judiciary, and the legislature combined which poses as the pillars of democracy, they will not have to wait for months or years for a verdict from the judiciary like those in the Ayodhya case, the Babri Masjid case, and the Muslim girls' face-veil case- both the verdict and the waiting: the judiciary will not wait for months or years like that for a verdict in this case. The people already know what that verdict will be.

Despite such a flagrant fascist movement which was a gigantic slaughter of democracy, why was there no response in the Indian media as different from the past, different from the days before the advent of Reliance and the BJP in India, different from the old way of reacting then and there back then? Have anyone ever seen even a single line in print in any of the Indian media condemning this, saying this should be stopped?

Have anyone ever heard the parties like the Marxist Party of India which are inert and ineffective lying on the periphery and which claim to be anti-BJP anyway, and its only remaining Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan in Kerala in the south most who is making incessant anti-BJP speeches to satisfy his remaining followers, say even a single word of condemnation that these most crucial new law amendments in India, such as the modifications of the Indian Penal Code, the Indian Criminal Procedure Code, and the Indian Evidence Act, which affect the entire people in many ways, were passed unilaterally by the representatives of the people of the remaining constituencies, without the representation and consent of the people of the 143 parliamentary constituencies of the country, i.e. without the consent of around one third of the people in the country?

Where else in the world has a law been passed by completely kicking out opposition members from the parliament, except under the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Reliance Rule, except in India and in some fascist countries and in the old monarchies? This is the second time that such throwing out of opposition members to enact bills happens in India, or anywhere, challenging the people. Don't remember when the BJP government, for an Indian Hindu theo-corporation the Reliance, threw out the opposition and passed three notorious farmer bills (which they finally had to meet again in parliament and rescind after a one year-long strike by the farmers, which was also a first in the Indian parliament), and the Supreme Court refused to interfere? Does no one see that this has become the nature of the fascists in India today comprising of the executive, legislature, judiciary and the media? Or why did the BJP have to kick out the opposition on both occasions to pass all these crucial bills? What else is called fascism other than this? Isn't this an indication that all future legislation that will radically change the head and tail of the country's social life and governance adapting them to Hindu anarchist beliefs will also follow the same path?

We have heard not a single word that a conspiracy against the Indian democracy has taken place or is taking place here. Today, in the ranks of democracy, there is no executive, legislature, judiciary, media, or constitutional institutions like the Election Commission, nothing, no one. There are only the people on its side there. And without them, democracy cannot exist anyway! Democracy is where they are. All others are just parts of the all others. Through rapid political governance and arbitrary lawmaking without public consent, all others have moved on their own and now finally have come against democracy and the people. That is where they stand now.

Haven’t seen it written in history books that under the rule of the Muslim emperors, there was a head tax called Jaziya imposed on their Hindu subjects in India? It is written there that this head tax was levied in the past, not today. Later lawmakers repealed it, condemned it as uncivilized, and rejected it. Aren’t these Hindu religious and corporate laws that have been enacted by subverting the Constitution, republicanism, and democracy, the very pillars of democracy they were supposed to be protecting, with the help of the constitutional institutions, for the just one-decade-long existence of some religious corporations that have sprung up during the BJP’s rule, going to go out the same way?

Fascism is the idea that self consultation of a small group of people in the ruling power or in the power behind the ruling power is enough to decide on making laws that affect the lives of the crores of people in these opposition-held 143 parliamentary constituencies in India without consulting them, without asking their opinions, without getting their consent in the form of the participation and consent of their elected representatives in the parliament. Or, instead of making decisions in the corporate political rooms on these laws, why didn’t they hold a national referendum in a democratic manner to know what the people say before making them? It was heard that the Bharatiya Janata Party is against them being called fascist and that they have filed some cases somewhere against people calling them that. What should they be called then- a democratic party, a religious theo-corporate party?
