Srinagr: Taking a strong exception to the statement of Home Minister Rajnath Singh on ‘Hindu terror’, leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha and senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad Saturday said it is an ‘unsuccessful and cheap attempt’ on the part of BJP government to divert attention from its failures to effectively deal with the menace of cross-border terrorism.
Hitting out at the Home Minister for blaming the Congress to weaken the country’s stand against terrorism, Azad asserted that, India’s fight against terror got weakened long back when three dreaded militants were escorted to Kandahar by the former External Affairs Minister in the NDA-1 Government, and “in a meek surrender handed over to the enemies of the country.”
Azad reminded the Home Minister that it was the NDA Government headed by Atal Bihari Vajpayee, which decided to release three militants in 1999 for seeking release of the passengers on board the hijacked Air India flight.
Complimenting Dr Farooq Abdullah, the then Chief Minister of J&K for his stout refusal to agree to the release of the militants, Azad regretted that NDA Government forced him into submission, who had even offered to resign at that point of time.
