The need of the hour.
(THE CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH LED TO ITS LAUNCHING)
We would like to remind you that in the month of September/October, 1998,
VHP and Bajrang Dal leaders were all crying and challenging anybody to
withstand them for the construction of 'RAMA TEMPLE' at the sight of Babari
Mosque at Ayodhya (U.P.). We thought a lot of Muslims will come forward to
accept the challenge from the Hindu fundamentalists and not even their so
called "Ali Sena" and the like have not shown any courage to come out or
take them on verbally! Since, BSS have taken birth for the safety and
security of the whole of the Bahujan Samaj, we thought it was our moral
duty to accept that challenge.
In order to take on the Brahminical challenge, we have planned a march to
reach Ayodhya on 6th December, 1998 to observe the death anniversary of Baba
Sahib Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. All our units in Uttar Pradesh have been directed
to proceed on to Ayodhya from their place so as to reach there on the
stipulated day. Accordingly, the first contingent of about 80 BSS volunteers
began their march from Muzaffar Nagar on 26th November, 1998 and was
arrested. The very next day i.e. 27th Nov.,1998, a strong contingent of
about 300 uniformed volunteers of BSS on bicycles under the leadership of
our National Commander Bhai Tej Singh, have set forth for their "Ayodhya
Kooch" from Jama Masjid, Delhi with the slogan, "No vicious attempt to
construct temple at the sight of Babari Masjid shall be allowed to
becsucceeded". The contingent was flagged off jointly by Bhai V.T.
Rajshekhar, Editor Dalit Voice and Venerable Bhante Dr. Gyan Ratan ji. As
soon as, the troops crossed the U.P. Border, we were arrested by Ghaziabad
police and lodged in 'Dasna Jail' at Ghaziabad. About 52000 volunteers of
BSS have been arrested at the different places in Uttar Pradesh. It was due
to this "Ayodhya Kooch" of BSS that the state government was compelled to
put the whole state on 'Red alert' from 27th November, 1998 onwards.
In Dasna Jail, we were offered substandard food which was refused to be
accepted by one and all and began hunger strike there. Worried with the
slogan shouting in the jail and the congregation of BSS volunteers out side
the jail have caused a lot of concerned to the Jail authorities and the
District administration as well. They have shifted us to the historical
Central Jail, Meerut where we were served good food, may be from the
directions from Ghaziabad administration. As usual, on very next morning,
there was an introduction camp was organized in which the Jailer Mr. V.K.
Mishra was also present. The moment, Mr. Mishra (Jailer) came to know that
all the arrested volunteers of BSS are dalit, backwards and Muslims, he left
the scene. Later in the day, he had played a mischief and spoiled our food
system and began to harass us. We have tried out best to make Mr.Mishra and
his colleagues in Jail understand that almost all the volunteers of BSS are
concerned either with raw leather or finished/semi-finished leather (shoes)
who are accustomed to shoe-beatings. We have also warned them not to compel
us to take shoes in our hands. This warning from us has no effect on them
and they continued with their evil designs to spoil our food etc. All our
volunteers in the jail were hungry and there was no option left before us
but to treat Mr. V.K. Mishra, the jailer vigorously with shoes. By beating
Mr. Mishra (Jailer) in Jail, we have taken every risk and the risk of our
lives too. This shoe treatment has very lightening effect on jail
authorities. Everything was set right in the jail that too within one hour!
Thereafter, there was no problem of any sort till our release on 6th
December, 1998.
This episode in the jail has opened our eyes and we found "Shoes" as very
effective weapon to deal with our opponents who, hitherto, thought
themselves very respectable. Otherwise also, the world bow down before those
who has the gut (shoe-power).
Having encouraged with the result of shoe-treatment, we have launched
"RASHTRIYA JOOTA BRIGADE" i.e. National Shoe Brigade from the historical
Meerut Central Jail while observing there, PARINIRVANA DIWAS, the death
anniversary of our Messiah, Baba Sahib Dr. Bheemrao Ambedkar in on 6th
December, 1998.
Shoe as weapon:-
1- It does not require any license from police or District administration.
2- No extra money is required for the purchase of shoes.
3- It is a twenty-four hours companion.
4- If applied (shoe-treatment), no cognizable offence is booked against the
offender.
5- If applied, it has deeper and long-lasting impression on the victim.
6- The offenders of shoe-treatment cannot be branded as terrorists.
7- This weapon is more effective than the bullet as it has no adverse
effects on the offenders.
What we require? Courage. Just courage:-
1- Courage to diagnose the problem honestly.
2- Courage to differentiate between our friends, foes and Vibhishanas.
3- Courage to apply and use this weapon effectively and openly.
4- Courage to apply it on anyone guilty of our Messiah, mission and
movement and should not hesitate whether it may be our own kith and kin.
5- Courage to discard the habit of excusing the guilty whose misdeeds are,
otherwise, not excusable as they have taken back the Caravan of our
Messiahs.
6- Courage, not to allow the illegitimate enjoyment of all the fruits and
juices available to us out of the struggle of our Messiah.
7- Courage to deal with such bastards firmly.
For the purpose, we do not need thousands army of eunuchs but a few
lionhearted missionaries to launch a "JEHAD" against the Brahminical forces
(not a force but a Hindu Micro-minority who have been at the helms of
affairs due the Vibhishanas coming from our own lot!) to win back our lost
prestige and power.
During the course of last five years, we (BSS) are able to muster support
of the millions of our youthful brothers and sister across the country who
are committed, dedicated, determined and ready for any sort of sacrifice.
These youths are sufficient enough to form an action oriented army for the
purpose. Our only concern is the lack of resources without which no
continuity in the action is possible and it is an almost uphill task to
reach on to the frontiers to take to task to our bitterest enemy. But mind
it without dealing with the vibhishanas firmly, nothing is likely to happen.
SAHAB SINGH,
Chief National Brigadier
(RJB).
