Stop shedding Afzali tears: BJP to Cong
India Blooms News Service
New Delhi, July 13 (IBNS) India’s principal Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday slammed the Congress for delaying the execution of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru and said it should stop shedding ‘Afzali tears’.
“The BJP is cautioning the Congress Party to desist from shedding ‘Afzali tears’ (Afzali Aansu) on terrorism,” said the party’s national vice-president Mukthar Abbas Naqvi.
Naqvi further said the entire country is irked on the ‘weak policy and attitude’ of the Congress Party and the UPA government led by it towards terrorism, separatism and Naxalism.
“Moreover, the Congress Party is promoting terrorism in stead of crushing it.
“Congress wants all political parties and leaders of the country should keep mum on terrorism like its president Smt. Sonia Gandi and its crown-prince Shri Rahul Gandhi. That is why the Congress Party opens new front against each leader who opposes terrorism,” said Naqvi.
Naqvi said the country’s Muslims don’t hold terrorist Afzal Guru and Osama Bin Laden as their icon.
“But the Congress Party attempts to divert the attention of the people from real terrorism by turning the terrorism as ‘Hindu – Muslim terrorism’,” he added.
Earlier, on July 9, BJP president Nitin Gadkari had refused to apologize for his remark that the Congress was treating Guru as its ‘son-in-law’.
Gadkari had slammed the Congress for delaying the execution of Guru, the man convicted and sentenced to death for the attack on the Parliament in December 2001.
“I want to ask the Congress leaders if Afzal Guru is their son-in-law. It is a party full of fearful people. They can never fight with terrorists and can never get rid of terrorism. It is a party which will bow down in front of terrorists and can never protect India,” Gadkari had said.
Guru was arrested days after the attack, which left 13 people dead. His fate is still stuck in red tape.
