NEW DELHI, Jan 24 – Netaji Subash Chandra Bose would be horrified at how the Congress has colluded, purely for votebank considerations, in the demographic invasion from Bangladesh into Assam and other parts of the country, BJP leader and Opposition Leader, L.K.Advani said today. Not one to let go of an opportunity, Advani, who was addressing a function organised to commermorate the 112th birth anniversary of the Netaji Subash Bose, singled out the Congress for attack, linking the party’s stand on illegal migrants to national security.
“Lack of good governance has a direct bearing on threats to our national security,” Advani said.
“For example, people like Netaji Bose would be horrified at the manner in which the Congress rule has bequeathed knotty problems to future generations, problems like the border disputes with Pakistan and China that have become knottier with the passage of time,” he said.
The same votebank considerations have guided the Congress approach to cross-border terrorism, sponsored from Pakistan. Its opposition to POTA in 2002, its scrapping of POTA in 2004 and its refusal to implement the Supreme Court’s judgement on Afzal Guru, who has been convicted for his role in the terrorist attack on Indian Parliament – all these show the warped thinking of the Congress leadership on the issue of terrorism.
As a party that has ruled India for the longest period since Independence, the Congress must bear the greatest responsibility for the problems that are plaguing our country today, Advani said.
Meanwhile, Parliamentarians on Friday paid floral tributes to Bose in Parliament House.
Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee, External Affairs Minister, Pranab Mukherjee, Advani and Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs, V Narayansamy among others paid tributes. A booklet containing a profile of Netaji was brought out on the occasion and presented to the dignitaries.
