Bharatiya Janata Party spokesperson and member of the Rajya Sabha, Prakash Jawadekar, claimed that former Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf's admission that they had recruited and trained terrorists in camps to carry out terrorist activities in India has vindicated his party's stand
Bharatiya Janata Party spokesman Prakash Jawadekar, who visited Pune on Saturday night after a blast ripped through a popular bakery and claimed nine lives here, urged the government to reconsider its proposed dialogue with Pakistan."Terror and talks cannot go together," he told reporters at the blast site. Jawadekar said the blast in the city was 'a terrorist attack'. "What is the logic in holding talks," he queried.
The party refuted reports that it will relinquish its claim over Guhagar Assembly seat in coastal Konkan region for ally Shiv Sena.
Speaking to reporters in Nagpur, Jawadekar said the government, then led by Atal Behari Vajpayee, had convened an all-party meeting to discuss the crisis and ways to resolve it. "All the parties present, including the Congress, insisted that the government do whatever was necessary to secure the release of the passengers on board the aircraft and save the country's prestige," he added.
The Bharatiya Janata Party has opposed the scrapping of regional language paper in the Union Public Service Commission examination and is likely to take up this issue firmly with the Centre shortly.
It's election season in Tamil Nadu and all political parties are tying themselves in knots over the banned jallikattu but none more than the BJP, says R Ramasubramanian.
