| BJP criticises Centre for not naming Pak at UNSC meet | | | AGENCIES
New Delhi, Dec 10: The BJP on Wednesday criticised the Government for "shying away" from directly naming Pakistan "as the accused" in the terror attacks on Indian soil at the UN Security Council meeting and demanded that it take a "tough stance" on the issue.
"We have taken so much beating over the years. This terrorism has been going on for decades. Thousands of people have been killed. Government should talk tough and name Pakistan as the accused," senior BJP leader M Venkaiah Naidu told reporters.
At the UNSC meeting, Minister of State for External Affairs E Ahamed named Jamaat-ud-Dawaah, a wing of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), as the organisation responsible for the November 26 Mumbai terror attacks which left over 170 people, including foreigners, dead.
"I don't think India did well (at the UN). It is very obvious that Pakistan is involved yet India is shying away from naming this country and giving all the proof," Naidu said.
Pakistan has offered to ban Jamaat-ud-Dawaah if the UN passes a resolution in this regard.
The BJP leader also maintained that a federal investigating agency without tough anti-terror laws would be meaningless.
"We have been telling the government- if you have the will, bring the anti-terror bill. We will support it," he said. |
