| Land row creation of Congress Govt: Rajnath | | | New Delhi | Aug 30
Blaming the previous Congress-led government in Jammu & Kashmir for the Amarnath land row, BJP chief Rajnath Singh today said it is for "that party to solve the problem as they have created it." "They have created the problem and they have to find a solution to it as such," Singh said in reply to a query on allegations of the BJP stoking communal fire over the issue.
Arguing that people of Jammu are incensed at the decision to cancel the land transfer, Singh said the agitation is likely to continue there unless the land is not given back to the Amarnath Shrine Board.
Earlier addressing a conference of BJP's Legal & Legislative Cell, Singh said it has been a normal practice in the country to welcome any facility accorded to any religious group by the government.
Singh also chose to read a difference between the protests in Jammu and those in Kashmir.
"While the protestors in Jammu are agitating with Indian flag, the separatist forces in Kashmir are protesting with Pakistan's flag," he said.
"BJP does not consider all living in Kashmir as separatist. We consider the majority of population living there as nationalist, who get along with handful of separatists due to fear," Singh said.
He also exhorted the legal cell members to file PILs against anybody hoisting Pakistan's flag on Indian soil and told them to demand that such elements should be identified.
Singh parried a question on allegations of Vishwa Hindu Parishad fanning violence against Christian tribals in Orissa.
"Naveen Patnaik government of Orissa has taken steps to control the violence and they will check it," Singh said declining to answer questions on the allegations of Vishwa Hindu Parishad's role behind it. |
