    BJP slams Congress for creating communal divide

    New Delhi, Feb 10 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday slammed the Congress party for creating communal divide by raking up controversial Batla House encounter during election campaigning in Uttar Pradesh.

    While speaking to reporters, BJP spokesperson Balbir Punj said that Khurshid's remark might lead to religious disparity and condemned it.

    "Salman Khurshid's statement that Sonia Gandhi cried when she saw the Batla House photographs, it is infact resort to rank communalism by the Congress party in order to garner Muslim votes and they are trying to polarize the society on criminal lines and this is highly condemnable," said Punj.

    Union Law Minister Salman Khurshid on Thursday raked up the controversial Batla House encounter, while on the campaign trail in Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh, where he had said that Sonia Gandhi was in tears when she saw photographs of the incident.

    Reacting to Punj's statement, Congress Leader Rajiv Shukla said that the BJP is playing communal games to garner utmost votes in the ongoing elections.

    "I think BJP has been constantly playing a communal chord in the UP elections. They want to take advantage of everything including, you know, they are trying to propagate castism amongst the voters and on Babu Singh Kushwaha issue they are trying to take political mileage out of it. So all these things they themselves are doing and unnecessarily blaming the Congress," said Shukla.

    Batla House encounter officially known as Operation Batla House, took place on September 19, 2008, against suspected Indian Mujahideen (IM) terrorists in Batla House locality in Jamia Nagar in Delhi.

    Two suspected terrorists, Atif Amin and Mohamed Sajid, two other suspects Mohd Saif and Zeeshan were arrested, while one accused Ariz Khan managed to escape.

    Encounter specialist and Delhi Police inspector Mohan Chand Sharma, who led the police action was also killed during the incident. (ANI)

      This kind of politics is dangerous. No body thinks of the police officers who laid down their life for our country!!! Where are we leading we don’t know.

        Think of the jawans who guard our country and protect us . how much have we thaught of them . Once retired nobody really cares for the ex service men and are given security jobs and petty jobs and the mejority is not supported till their last days .with the meagre pension they get. well he is luckey he has served our country and protected us and is fortunate enough to be alive to enjoy a retired life with his family but how good is his retired life . atleast the policemen have better lives. Think of that

      BJP is not at all communal. Congress is claiming secular but in reality they are communal and playing the game of divide and rule since independence. People like Salman K, Kapil S., Dogy raja are proven dangerous to the democracy for many times. People should not vote congress any more.

      It is the Congress policy started by Late Indira Gandhi. 'DIVIDE AND RULE' Which she got as a property from Britishers to her father and then it came to her and now it is safe in hands of their next generation.

      The Congress is raising the 4-year old issue during elections merely to gain sympathy of a minority community for obvious reasons of getting their votes.This is most un-fortunate and deserves to be condemned.The Congress is bound to go to the dooms for their such tactics and scams and their policy of torturing those who raised their voice against corruption and black money.The Congress is desperate to gain power in U.P. whatever the means.The public must not get mis-guided by such meaningless statements issued merely to gain sympathy/votes.Beware:

      tears for encounter.....no tears for the mumbai carnage 26/11.......what a shame......dirty politics....i wonder when will Mr. Khurshid claim innocence for Kasaab?

      All parties cry during the election. Congress cries a bit more may be because of the fear of losing the election. How come madam sonia was mum when her mother-in-law was killing thousands of sikhs; how come this emotional woman indirectly ordered killing of innocent tamilians in sri lanka? Batla case makes her cry; other killings makes her happy isn't it.

      Is there any party in India that does not refer to Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Dalit, Brahmin etc. I have never come across a party which asks for votes from Indians.

      Day is not too for from day when they start adding the name of Kasab and Ashraf with shahid Bhagat singh and Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose for their services for vote

      Nehruvian Congress should be disqualified as a political party itself. Nehruvian Congress is a failed party in all its terms. It is had done only one job to divide people by caste, creed, religion and regions all the time.

      It is a common agenda for the Congress to talk about Minorities and Backward classes only during the Elections and also to forget immediately after elections. What happened to the Slogan "Garibhi Hataho" by the one and only supreme commander of the Congress. Where the Congress has dumped all the Garib's. Only the Politicians Garibhi has be Hataooed by the Congress all these years. Now the Common people are a bit educated and hey know whom to vote. Every educated citizen has the knowledge of all the dirty politicians of this country from a de-bachelor ND Tiwari of Congress to the 3-IDIOT Karnataka Ministers(who are caught on Camera while watching Prone Blue film in the Assembly and the party bosses who are trying to cover their acts as a no nonsense issue).

      We have some of the Great peoples in Congress !!
      Sonia Ji cries for home grown terrorists.
      Diggi Ji cries for foreign terrorists.
      What a tragedy. Moreover why this Kolavari Di?
    • Heman  •  3 months ago
      In our country both the Congress and BJP play communal and vote bank politics.
      But the statement of "Salman Khurshid's statement that Sonia Gandhi cried when she saw the Batla House photographs is highly condemnable and unacceptable.

      Why didn't Sonia cry when 100s of citizens died due to bomb blast in various cities?. Moreover one of the Terrorist killed a sincere officer M.C. Sharma using AK47. Why can't she cry for Sharmas family, did she at-least had the time to visit Sharmas family?

      Shame on the Congress idiots, they are really raking up unnecessary issues during the time of election. And the Barking Dog - Idiot Diggi should be blamed for this.

      Balbir Punj what do you think about the Babri demolition and how do you feel about the Gujarat progrom led by Narendra Modi. Your views on that should be interesting.

        Why every time you blame modiji,please remember that godra incident happened because of sabarmati railway murder by muslim goons.after that godra happened.

      BJP is the most communal party in India; nay the world. BJP has no right to talk as the people can judge for themselves. A party which has no ideology or policy, attacking Congress is the only past-time (other than watching porn) and policy of BJP.

      what cost the Indian people will have to pay in the coming years for such irresponsible statement for religion and cast base politics, will some body do assessment ?
    • WG Cdr G Baruah  •  Guwahati, Assam  •  3 months ago
      It is sheer politics baby!! Every body in the electoral battle wants to woo the Muslims votes, it could be by crying over photograph, or crying hoarse over non issues. Once the results are declared, these up holders of your rights will move in security covered convoys and you will be ordered to stand aside on the road for allowing the convoy pass!
