BJP steps up attack on Congress
BJP on Wednesday raked up the Samjhauta Express blasts to keep up its attack on Congress over the Ishrat Jehan case, saying the UPA used them to \"defame\" the Hindu society but \"ignored\" reports of NIA and IB about Ishrat and \"betrayed\" the country for political reasons.
​NEW DELHI: BJP on Wednesday raked up the Samjhauta Express blasts to keep up its attack on Congress over the Ishrat Jehan case, saying the UPA used them to "defame" the Hindu society but "ignored" reports of NIA and IB about Ishrat and "betrayed" the country for political reasons.
"Congress did not trust reports of Indian agencies. It ignored an FBI report too. It behaved like Italian Congress not Indian National Congress.
For its selfish purpose, the identity of a terrorist who was deputed by the LeT to kill Narendra Modi was not acknowledged even though LeT itself besides intelligence agencies said so.
"On the other hand, the Congress-led government wilfully tried to fix innocents in Samjhauta Express blasts. It was done to defame the Hindu society which stands for universal brotherhood," its national secretary Shrikant Sharma said.
He noted that Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi had reportedly said that Hindu extremism was a "bigger threat" to India as he hit out at Congress.
Congress had earlier in the day dismissed as "bundle of lies" BJP's charge that party president Sonia Gandhi and Mr Rahul Gandhi gave direction to the then home minister P Chidambaram in the Ishrat case.
