Latest columnist in The Indian Express once threatened to murder Modi and decapitate his followers

Imagine my surprise when I discovered in The Indian Express today their new columnist, Mr. Amaresh Misra.

Amaresh Misra? Seriously?

Those of us who remember social media from 2013 and 2014 are going to sit up at the mention of that name.

Amaresh Misra! Perhaps the most infamous of all pro-Congress trolls back in the day.

Yes, Misra was severely abusive. But that’s not the memorable part. This Amaresh Misra was known for making extremely violent threats. Please find here some golden nectar from the newest columnist for the Indian Express.

Obviously, it did not take Opindia much time to dig out these tweets.

Threatening to make blood flow like water? Threatening to kill Modi himself and his supporters. This must be the new style manual of The Indian Express. I bet Amaresh Misra has a job lined up for him at The Wire.

Sample these direct violent threats:

Of course! Threatening to shoot people dead is kind of what Amaresh Misra did on a near daily basis.

This is not free speech. This is not dissent. These are direct threats of violence. And obviously, he was arrested too for threatening to kill Modi himself.

Obviously a prize catch for The Indian Express. This is the face of the man who they present to their readers as a rational opinionator.

As I have been saying for a while, liberals want to impose on this country a form of apartheid. Things have advanced very far beyond garden variety hypocrisy. This now seems to be a very conscious choice that liberals are making.

For instance, after raising so much hell about online abuse, liberals are making a very conscious choice to approve of characters such as Amaresh Misra who threaten to decapitate BJP supporters.

This is apartheid, folks. What liberals are saying is that our lives simply don’t matter.

Till now the online right wing has actually taken the left wing mood very lightly.  We joke about the “hypocrisy” of the left. But it is not a laughing matter. The liberals are not just going selectively silent out of embarrassment or as a matter of convenience.

I believe that liberals have reached the point where they actively approve and want to encourage a form of apartheid in this country. A nation where Hindus will be certified second class citizens.

Take the case of Gurmehar Kaur. She claimed to have received threats (I tried, but I didn’t see any evidence of that beyond her word that these threats actually existed). The entire liberal ecosystem went nuts.

But the same Gurmehar Kaur actually tried to coerce a bunch of 18-19 year olds on Facebook for running a meme mocking her. This time liberals said nothing.

I don’t think liberals were silent because it would embarrass them. Liberals were silent because they had an apartheid like view of the situation : liberals have free speech rights, while right wingers simply don’t. What was there to talk about?

They don’t see “right wing”  as a political position. They don’t see right wingers as human beings. It’s like America in the days of slavery. Whites have rights. Black slaves don’t.

Take the case of the RSS leader who was murdered in Ludhiana today. Or the techie who was lynched by a mob in Bengaluru for trying to complain against illegal cow slaughter mafia. She was a woman, attacked by an entire mob of men. But feminists couldn’t care less.

Ludhiana and Bengaluru. Two large cities. They didn’t make headlines. The remote village of Dadri did … for more than a month.

It’s simple. Liberals have made it clear that certain lives matter and certain others don’t.  Liberal policy towards Hindus has changed from ordinary hypocrisy to outright apartheid.
