| VHP attacks BJP, demands dismissal of Government | | Revolt in Sangh Parivar | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Apr 18: Sangh Parivar of which the BJP is its part as a political organ is in a complete shambles. It is a divided house. What has brought the differences within the Parivar to the surface is the mishandling of terrorists, separatists and Pakistan assets like Syed Ali shah Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, Masarat Alam, Asiya Andrabi and so.
It is the VHP which in the Parivar has upped its ante against the BJP, lambasted it for adopting a soft policy towards anti-nationals in the Valley and condemned it and its ally for not frustrating on time the anti-India designs of Alam, Geelani and others of their ilk who on Wednesday held an anti-India rally in Srinagar, where Pakistani flags were hoisted and pro-Pakistan, pro-independence and anti-India slogans were raised. The VHP has leveled very serious charges against the Parivar's own member, the BJP, and accused it and its ally of "giving a complete leverage to separatists and demanded that the Valley should be handed over to the Army". "Both the State and Central Governments are giving a complete leverage to anti-national and separatists for declaring sedation against the country, especially in Jammu and Kashmir," state VHP patron Ramakant Dubey has said, and added the time has come for handing over the disturbed Valley to the Army. "Situation can never improve unless every such element who raises his head against the country and takes law into his hands is put behind bars," the VHP said.
What the VHP said was a very severe indictment of the BJP. It has obviously embarrassed the already rather embarrassed, cornered and roundly criticized BJP. Besides, the indictment of the BJP by the VHP has given enough of ammunition to the non-BJP parties, especially the Congress, to further expose the BJP's double-speak, double-approach and its concept of nationalism. Now, the Congress, which had already attacking the BJP for its policy towards Jammu and Kashmir and accusing it of ditching the people of Jammu region, would further sharpen its attack on the BJP in its bid to recover the ground it lost to the BJP in the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections.
If in Jammu VHP leader Dubey tore into the BJP and charged it with virtually pampering separatists, elsewhere in Uttar Pradesh Sadhvi Prachi demanded dismissal of the state government. Her response as spontaneous, which means she had already considered the implications of what had been happening in Kashmir after the release of Masarat Alam on March 7. She also urged the government to arrest him and sentence him to death. She only toed the line of the senior BJP leader Subramaniam Swami, who on Thursdayalso demanded dismissal of the state government and imposition of President Rule in Jammu and Kashmir". Thursday another development took place. Political Advisor to the state BJP president Jugal Kishore Sharma, MP, wrote a lengthy open letter to BJP national president Amit Shah urging him to snap his parties ties with the coalition government in the state.
The fact is that the BJP is not being criticized by its political opponents in the state and at national level, including the Congress, the Shiv Sena (BJP's ally in New Delhi and Maharashtra), the NC, the Panthers Party, the Janata Dal-United, Samajwadi Party and so on, but also by the VHP and a section of the senior BJP leadership. Indeed, the BJP is in deep trouble. |
