Black Magic bill 2006: A Draconian Law Targeting Hindu Faith !

[Guest guest]

Sub: Open letter of Appeal for urgent support to all

devout/religious/theistic Indians against the Black Magic Bill :

2006, a draconian law targeting faith and theism.

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

The Government of Maharashtra is out to create history by enforcing

a " revolutionary " law upon all devout / religious / theistic

citizens of Maharashtra State. Having been entitled the sweet name

of " Eradication of Black Magic and Aghori Practices Bill 2006 " , the

proposed law is on the verge of being passed in the upper house of

the State Assembly, which begins on the 13th March 2006. This Law

criminalizes any kind of faith.

 

Some of the clauses within this law are so arguable and generalist

that it makes them totally dependent upon the implementing Police

Officer to decide their meaning. Some of the deep implications of

the clauses included in this law would mean that all Religious

literature like the Vedic Scriptures, Upanishads, 18 Puranas,

Biographies of Saints, the Christian Bible and the Quran of Islam

would be henceforth questioned for their correctness on basis of

modern science and thus banned. This makes the law " anti-faith " and

moresoever likely to be misused in majority of the cases especially

against Hindus.

 

The Police would have many more uncontrolled powers. Though the name

of the bill suggests that it is intended to eradicate Black Magic,

it is not true. Many legal experts have clarified that under the

name of black magic, this law could actually threaten Faith in God

and any Divine power.

 

Most importantly, all the crimes listed under this law have already

been covered under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

The very identification of the need for this law or the motive

behind it is highly suspicious. The details of this proposed law had

been kept a secret by the Government and all kinds of dicussions and

debates even in the Parliament were curbed by the Government on the

basis of majority. All this leads to arousal of suspicion in the

Government's motive.

 

In short as you can see above, the law would enforce " Scientific

Authority " upon Religious or Spiritual Scriptures and beliefs of the

theists and make them disbelieve in their own faith. Absolutely

scientific talibanism in the true sense!
