I have always maintained that Mr. Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, MP BJP is a sad caricature of a token Muslim presence in an otherwise Hindu party.  But even then, it was quite a surreal experience to see this pathetic buffoon completely denying that the horrible incident in Alwar, where a man was fatally lynched for a mistaken belief that he was transporting cows to the slaughterhouse, took place at all.  Despite extensive coverage in the media and the actual video footage of the ghastly act, this mealy-mouthed joker who also happens to be a minister, kept lying through his teeth in the parliament that nothing of the sort ever happened!  He should apologize period.  Of course, the dead man, who was a dairy farmer and also happened to me Muslim, is a matter of minor irritating detail for these murderous vigilante mobs, who are killing human beings in the name of protecting cows.  Ever since their spiritual/ideological mentors BJP/RSS have come to power at the center and in many states, these self-appointed militias, the so called protectors of 'Hindu culture', clearly feel emboldened that they can get away with anything, even murder.  Maybe, next time the 'Great leader' will enlighten us in his next mann ki baat as to how is the government is going to deal with the supposed cow slaughter from the actual manslaughter.
