BJP politicising Pulwama terror attack: Sitaram Yechury

Agencies

February 21, 2019

Hyderabad, Feb 21: CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury on Wednesday accused Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of politicising the ghastly Pulwama terror attacks and said that using these attacks for electoral benefit is wrong for the country's security.

Speaking to ANI, Yechury said, "BJP is politicizing the Pulwama terror attack. During a rally, BJP president has said that they will give befitting reply because it is not UPA government. Such a statement raises the question. There must be accountability. They should first say how could this incident occur when there is a BJP government for over four years. They are using it for electoral benefit which is very wrong for the country and its security."

Addressing a youth rally in Assam on February 17, BJP national president Amit Shah had said that the sacrifice of CRPF personnel killed in Pulwama attack will not go in vain as it's not the Congress government which is at the Centre, but the BJP."

Meanwhile, Yechury also raised questions over Prime Minister Narendra Modi receiving Saudi crown prince at the airport.

"It is unprecedented. PM Modi normally doesn't go. A lot of Presidents and Prime Ministers have visited before but he doesn't go to receive them all. Only he can answer as to why he went to receive Saudi Prince. Especially, when Saudi PM visited Pakistan before coming to India and had given huge aid to Pakistan."

Talking further about forging any alliance in Kerala, he said, "In Kerala the fight will be between Congress and us. In Bengal, we will be fighting to defeat TMC. It is important to defeat TMC to save Bengal and to defeat BJP to save the country.

Muslim population rose in India because they got 'special rights': Yogi Adityanath

News Network

January 15,2020

Jan 15: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Tuesday that the Muslim population in India increased manifold since the partition because they were given special rights and facilities, according to a report by The Indian Express.

"The Muslim population in India has increased manifold since 1947, it has gone up by seven to eight times. No one has any objection. If they, as citizens of the country, work for development, they are welcome. Their population has increased because they have been given special rights and facilities. All possible steps were taken to ensure their growth," Adityanath said while addressing a rally in Gaya organised by the BJP in support of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act.

He asked the audience, "But what happened in Pakistan?" Claiming that the Hindu population in Pakistan had decreased since 1947, he asked why it was so.

Yogi said that the countrywide anti-CAA protests are a "conspiracy" hatched from afar by those resentful of a united and grand India and these are being aided by a "crooked" opposition. He further charged that those opposing the legislation were committing the "paap" (sin) of working against national interests.

"For taking such a step, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah deserve acclaim. Instead, they are being attacked", Yogi lamented.

He himself contradicts his statements. He claims the Muslim population rose 8-9 (according to him) times since 1947. If he was educated its simple 73 years have passed the population grows. Still, the Muslim population is only a minority against the majority. He talks about special rights and facilities given yes agreed but not by him it's by the Constitution of India and for all the minorities. So it's not you its Constitution of India. The majority of the people are against the act CAA is against the very fundamental of the Constitution of India which PM & HM are taking away from the people. If you disagree, disrespect, go against it then you are against the country itself in Hindi deshdruhi.
