That our Comrades never tire of fawning over China is not new. However, they need to maintain consistency in their collective, repeated kowtowing. If they want us to emulate China in terms of leadership, economics, and policy, they should accordingly, also highlight such glowing examples as this.

China has executed a Uighur activist in a far-northwestern city for attempting to “split the motherland” and possessing explosives, drawing condemnation from a human rights group, which said the evidence was insufficient. Ismail Semed, who was deported to China from Pakistan in 2003, had told the court a confession had been coerced, but he was executed nevertheless on Thursday in Urumqi, capital of the predominantly Muslim region of Xinjiang, Radio Free Asia on Friday quoted his widow, Buhejer, as saying.

Our Comrades surely know how even the slightest frisson of rebellion is dealt with in a Communist paradise. The poor chap was killed on mere suspicion of treason if we are to believe the human rights guys. But mum is the word from the Red Brothers at home. I checked People’s Democracy, Prajashakti, CPIM.org, and other revolutionary publications: nothing on this incident.

These worthies are quick to urge the government to willingly part with India’s sovereign territory. And when they do condemn ghastly incidents like the recent ULFA killings, they give to it their usual “labour” spin.

Instead of taking a cowardly Puppet Prime Minister to task over his “ULFA open-door” statement, they advocate treason in Arunachal Pradesh. Jyotida after all, set the pattern more than a decade ago.

Why are they blind to China, which deals with Muslims ruthlessly (the news report above is just a harmless sample), and why are they such thick pals with the worst of Islamic zealots at home?
