Bahujan Samaj Party president Mayawati Sunday accused the BJP of indulging in "petty" politics after the Pulwama terror attack and claimed people feel that the country's honour and security are not in safe hands.

Mayawati also paid tributes to security force personnel killed in the February 14 Pulwama attack and other terror incidents.

"The ruling BJP should not have indulged in politics after the Pulwama terror strike...The worried 130-crore people have seen as to how the BJP could not desist from indulging in petty politics even at such a time and they have now realised that country's honour and security is not in strong and safe hands," the BSP chief said.

Mayawati also convened a meeting of senior party leaders and office bearers at the BSP's headquarters here.

The BSP president ,who returned to the state capital only a couple of days ago after a long stay in Delhi, also called for a "strong and dependable policy for issues concerning the safety and security of the country."
