Bharatiya Janata Party’s national spokesperson Sambit Patra has launched a scathing attack on the Congress. He said that the Congress stood with terrorism and the party could also forge alliances with terrorists to remain in power. The BJP spokesperson said that it is surprising that the Congress party is holding press conferences on terrorism at 22 places in the country. The way Congress has supported terrorism because of appeasement, it will not be an exaggeration. He alleged that wherever terrorist activities have taken place in India, the Congress has supported terrorists and terrorism there because of the politics of appeasement.
Patra said that after the Batla House encounter, Congress President Sonia Gandhi wept bitterly. Salman Khurshid himself had told that Sonia could not sleep for three nights and she kept on crying. Patra asked why Sonia Gandhi cried because of the terrorists killed. Referring to Zakir Naik, the BJP spokesperson said, “Everyone is aware of the relationship between Congress and Zakir Naik. Sonia Gandhi herself stood with terrorist Zakir Naik. The Gandhi family had taken donations of more than Rs 50 lakh from Naik. The Congress party used all those tactics to save terrorist Zakir Naik.”
Patra further said, ‘Ishrat Jahan was a sleeper cell of Lashkar-e-Taiba, but Congress used to call her innocent at the behest of Sonia Gandhi. After 26/11 Mumbai attack, Congress sat empty and did not take any concrete step. He said the kind of status accorded to Yasin Malik by the UPA government is to glorify a terrorist. Congress spread false rumors on Burhan Wani. If any terrorist like Hafiz Saeed likes any party in the world, it is Congress party.
BJP spokesperson said that Congress had created an atmosphere against the hanging of Yakub Memon. He said, “The Gandhi family will have no objection even if they have to form an alliance with terrorists to remain in power.
