Hate Speeches: Deliberate Electoral Strategy? By Deepak Parvatiyar December 17, 2014 The winter session of Parliament has been disrupted more often because of certain “loose cannons” in the treasury benches. At a time when Delhi elections are round the corner, these ruling party members have made such public comments that could very well create discord in society. One such hate speech (Ramzada versus Haramzada) was delivered by Union minister, Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti, during an election rally in Delhi. BJP Member of Parliament Sakshi Maharaj went a step further by eulogising Nathuram Godse – the killer of Mahatma Gandhi and a Hindu hardliner.
