Press Note:                                                             Date:07.09.2010

  • Instead of putting up a united fight against terrorism BJP is doing politics in the name of terrorism
  • Ravan was in saffron robe when he abducted Sitaji, was he not terrorist?
  • During Congress regime a terrorist was caught alive and Pakistan was made to bow down
  • During BJP rule Sushma Swaraj bowed down before Mushraff and a terrorist was sent to Kandhar
  • Chief Minister himself wants that terrorists should come to Gujarat so that he can make his vote bank strong
  • In Gujarat only Chief Minister is safe while the entire state is unsafe
  • Jethmalani who said that Afzal Guru should not be hanged has been rewarded by BJP with post of MP and lawyer of Amit Shah

Leader of opposition in the State Assembly Shaktisinh Gohil today said that it was unfortunate that instead of giving a united fight against terrorism the BJP was indulging in politics in the name of terrorism.

Speaking on the demands in the Assembly on last day on Tuesday he said that terrorism has no color. Ravan was in saffron robe when he abducted Sitaji. It does not mean that he was not a terrorist. At the same time it cannot be said that since he wore saffron color it is an insult of that color. Saffron is the color of saints, sadhus and Rajputs who laid their lives for their motherland. Any terrorism in any guise is a sheer act of terrorism. Like Ravan who wore saffron to abduct Sitaji, BJP has also adopted saffron color since last few years for power. People wearing saffron robes who were involved in bomb blasts in Modasa or Malegon are terrorists only.

To curb terrorism stringent laws are not needed but strong willpower is needed. When BJP was in centre there were laws like POTA. But they did not have strong willpower to fight against terrorism and so during BJP rule there were terrorist attacks on several places like Raghunath Mandir, Parliament, Red Fort and Akshardham.

It was the strong willpower of UPA government that a terrorist was caught alive in Mumbai and after his narco analysis test India proved to the world that terrorists were being aided by Pakistan. Under pressure form international community despite its unwillingness Pakistan was forced by the Central government to take action against terrorist camps. Consequently the terrorists have turned against Pakistan government and the instead of coming to India they are carrying out bomb blasts in Pakistan itself.

This is known as Chanakya , Krishna, Dr. Manmohansinh’s and Soniaji’s policy. On the other hand during BJP rule instead of making Pakistan bow down Mushraff was called here and Sushmaji bowed before him. Instead of arresting any terrorist BJP committed a sin to release a terrorist from jail and send him to Kandhar.

Chief Minister of Gujarat wishes that he should be safe and secure but terrorists should attack the state so that he can play his vote bank politics. Terrorists never used to come to Gujarat in the past. But during the rule of present Chief Minister the situation is such that his bungalow is like a fortress and terrorists struck Akshardham which is just opposite his bungalow.

Persons who carried out bomb blasts from Malegoan to Modasa indulged in terrorist activities wearing saffron robes. After these traitors were put behind bars there has not been a single blast. Why did BJP reward Jethmalani who defended Afzal Guru and said that he should not be hanged with post of MP? The same Jethmalani who advocated for Afzal is now advocating for Amit Shah.
