Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Monday questioned the BJP's claim of having taken a strong action against terrorism. He said that record of the BJP party on the issue of terrorism is absolutely different from the claim made by it.
Dr. Manmohan Singh while addressing an election meeting at Pheowa (about 30 kms from Kurukshetra) said, "Our opponents claim is that only they can take a decisive and strong stand against terrorism, but by looking at the record of the BJP a completely different picture emerges.
Manmohan Singh referred to the Kandahar hijack case and said that three dreaded terrorists were set free and sent to Afghanistan during the rule of BJP.
He also said that during the BJP's regime, terrorists attacked Parliament, Red Fort, Raghunath temple, Akshardham and Jammu and Kashmir assembly. Terrorists entered Kargil, but then also the BJP Government remained unfamiliar of the problems.
"This is the record of the BJP...you decide how strong and decisive are these leaders (of BJP)," he said.
Singh said that the Congress-led UPA Government took courageous decisions to face and tackle the terrorists attack in Mumbai. "We will keep facing terrorism bravely and with full commitment," he said.
"All necessary steps needed to be taken to tackle terrorism will be adopted...but we will keep in mind that a particular religion or section of society does not face problems unnecessary," Singh said.
The Prime Minister also stressed on the fact that coordination between states is very much essential to handle the problem of terrorism.
He said, "The lack of peace and stability in neighbouring Pakistan, Nepal and Sri lanka could also have affect on our country.
"In my opinion only a national party like Congress can deal with such problems," he said, adding, "His party has experience and capability to deal with such problems."
