former-kerala-dgp-may-join-bjp-soon Indianmandarins has learnt that former Kerala DGP T P Senkumar (IPS:1983:KL) who retired last month, may join the BJP/RSS. On Sunday, Senkumar attended an event of a BJP-backed daily, Janmabhumi, to honor top scorers in school exams. The program was attended by BJP's Rajya Sabha MP Suresh Gopi and party legislator O Rajagopal. He has already raised questions about the sincerity of the self-appointed secular brigade. He reportedly told online publication Samakalika Malayalam in an interview on Saturday: "There should be attempts from within the (Muslim) community to check religious extremism. When speaking about extremism, there is no sense speaking about the RSS. One cannot have a comparison between the RSS and the Islamic State." He spoke of "demographic change" in the state and linked it to the alleged "growing Muslim population in Kerala". "Of 100 births in the state, 42 belong to the Muslim community, which constitutes 27 percent of the population. The birth rate of Hindus, which constitutes 54 percent of the population, is below 48.5 percent. The birth rate of Christians, who constitute 19 percent of the state's population is 15 percent. If demography is changing in this manner, what kind of change would be taking place in Kerala in the future? Although the Christian birth rate is coming down, their population is not falling because of the conversions they are doing," he said. His stand against Love-Jihad is well known. Senkumar also said he recently saw a video clip of a Ramzan speech which found fault with the killing of men to save cows. "Such speeches would have far-reaching consequences. Action should be taken against them."
