BJP demands apology from Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi for defaming Hindus


New Delhi, Apr 17 (PTI): The BJP on Tuesday said Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi should apologise for defaming Hindus "globally" and cited a telegram sourced from Wikileaks to back its demand.

The BJP's renewed attack on the Congress comes a day after a special anti-terror court acquitted rightwing activist Swami Aseemanand and four others in the 2007 Mecca Masjid blast case in Hyderabad.

"If Congress considers India to be its own, then Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi must apologise to the whole country for defaming the great Hindu religion by trying to prove that there was something called 'saffron terror'," BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said at a press conference.

He showed a telegram sourced from Wikileaks quoting a conversation during the former Congress-led UPA government between then US ambassador and Rahul Gandhi.

According to the transcript of the conversation, Rahul Gandhi said saffron terror was a bigger threat than the Lashkar-e-Taiba.

"This shows the mindset of Rahul Gandhi towards Hindus. His party has always take Hindus for granted," Patra said.
On Monday, Patra said people would teach the Congress a lesson in the Karnataka Assembly polls as they had in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections when it was reduced to 44 seats.

"For its appeasement politics, the Congress targeted and defamed Hindus and the country for merely some votes. That conspiracy has been exposed. The Congress has been exposed like never before," he had said after the verdict came in.

    Vedas are most sacred holy book of Hindus. Let BJP give us reference anywhere in 'Vedas' mentioned 'Saffron' is colour of Hindus?

    BJP’s national spokesperson Sambit Patra, a popular face on TV channels, has now been appointed as non-official director on the board of state-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) Ltd.
    Whole bunch of BJP spokespersons appointed by Government on boards of public sector companies such as ONGC.
    That the post is a highly paying one Rs 23-27 lakhs plus per year.Finally hard work pays off for a failed surgeon.
    The Congress spokespersons are toothless. They would counter questioned BJP by asking them clarification having an alliance in the Tamil Nadu parties who have openly supported banned organisation LTTE for which its founder went to jail on terror charges.
    They should have exposed 'Naga accord' drafted by RSS Pracharak brokered in Singapore?
    They should have asked why ULFA retains arm as per the peace agreement?
    If UPA II is serious about the martyr Hemant Karkare report on 'Saffron terror' false flag like Mumbai attack won't happen, Karkare won't have got killed. Instead RSS will be listed as terror outfit on the International level.
    The closed door meeting between former PM and RSS Mohan Bhagwat has cost the party dearly.

    Mr. Bundle Baaz Patra What is wrong in RGs statement. He mentioned on BJP saffron hindus (not real Indian Hindus), that they are more dangerous than LET. The way things are going on in India after 2014 in the name of fake Hindutva Ideology, it is evident that these saffron gang is dangerous for our democracy. These people under the guidance of RSS and leadership of Modi & Shah are trying to create biggest communal disharmony all over India.
    Patra, don't try to divert peoples attention from your party politicians criminal cases. Now it is high time to Indian Citizens to take law in their hand and punish these criminals, because our judiciary has been purchased by BJP Politicians and the result we are seeing every day. Acquittal of all criminals who belong to Bhaltkari Janara Party. Shame on you Sambit Patra, instead of commenting on your party Rapists and murderers, you are bringing different issue.

    "Pett Kammi ! ".. There is no insult to Hindus, since it speaks of only Terror and not about Hindus. If someone speaks of ISIS terrorism, how can it becomes an insult to Muslims?? Its not. For terror there is no religion. So lets focus on development of our great nation, united.

    Post the 2014 LS debacle, A K Antony, senior Congress leader was asked to find root cause to the massive defeat. He had come out with findings that party was bending back to appease minorities and was hurting sentiments of majority community. This report was thrown in back burner by Sonia and never saw light of day.

    Balatkari Jumla Party must remember that Congress fought for the independence of the country, built this nation and two of its Prime Ministers laid down their lives in the line of duty.

    Stop shielding rapists and rioters and do something for the country instead of howling.
