Deafening silence from "secular" Sanghvi and "secular" Shekhar

Now that state after state has been banning the Da Vinci code movie, its been very quiet from the "secular" megaphones Sanghvi of HT and Gupta of IE. None of the finger in your face belligerent posturing and the preservation of "artistic freedom", that was brandished in the MF Hussain case. After all in "secular" India what is good for Ram is not so for Robert and Rahim. But on the other hand muslim fundamentalist Amir Khan is given plenty of airtime by the IE which incidentally has no time to report the terrorist killing of BJP workers in a rally. In all probability IE has got a reporter posted in Amir Khans house should the actor have anything new to spew at any given time. And of course everbody from the clerk who poses as a PM Manmohan Singh, to the Hollywood ji-Huzoors of the likes of Hritik Roshan who thrive on Muslim underworlds goodwill, have criticized the boycott of Fanaa by the Gujarati theater owners association, while something as revulsive as govt bans on the Da Vinci code is not even noticed. All classic "secular" India in action for you.
