Accusing Congress-led UPA of being soft on terrorists and naxalites in its quest for votes, BJP today asked the central government to issue a White Paper and convene an all-party meeting on terrorism.
Alleging that the UPA was soft towards terrorism, particularly after cash-for-vote charges during trust vote in the Lok Sabha, BJP General Secretary, Vinay Katiyar alleged that terrorists and naxalites were encouraged after Congress forged alliances with outfits having extremist links in Assam, Andhra Pradesh and elsewhere during last elections.
Even posters of Osama Bin Laden were displayed in Bihar for getting votes," Katiyar said adding "we burn effigy of Ravan and never glorify him for electoral gains."
While Pakistan has been using terrorism as a weapon in its foreign policy, the UPA government seems to be adopting a soft approach towards terrorism in its domestic and internal security policy, he said.
Observing that Since China was a target of islamic separatism, BJP's Orissa in-charge said it should collaborate with India to fight against terrorism.
