Describing the UPA government as “a cabinet of collective irresponsibility, preoccupied with the primary task of its own survival,” the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday charged the central dispensation with pursuing “politics of minorityism” and even trying to tackle terrorism “with the desire of consolidating vote bank politics.”
Though the party had drafted a separate resolution on the Ramar Sethu controversy, it was also incorporated in the political resolution.
This was done to strengthen its dominant theme of “appeasement” allegedly pursued by the Central Government.
Terming the Sachar commission recommendations as“ a charter for social divisiveness and un-implementable,” the resolution maintained it as “Constitutionally questionable.”
The party asked the government to reject the suggestions and work for development of all regions “rather than of one religious denomination.”
The resolution said, faced with the imminent possibility of elections, the UPA government, instead of concentrating on serious governance, was trying to consolidate its vote bank by damaging the social fabric of the country.
Infiltration
It saw the increased infiltration from western and eastern borders and rise in terrorism in the states ruled by “Congress and other pseudo secular parties” as a result of the signals sent out by the administration in these states.
“The police administrations in these states have been signalled to go slow on searches, intelligence and cracking up of terrorist modules,” the resolution claimed.
It added that India could no longer claim to be free from the terrorist outfit al-Qaeda.
Lack of an anti-terror law had seriously disabled the effectiveness of the security and intelligence agencies.
Moving on to the Ramar Sethu issue, the party said the Centre’s insistence on demolishing Ramar Sethu had shaken the faith of the people of India with regard to the intentions of the government.
Charges
The resolution charged the UPA government with attempting to weaken the Constitutional linkages of Jammu and Kashmir with the rest of India.
It cited the government’s policy to persist with Article 370, efforts towards “demilitarisation autonomy and even self-rule,” in this regard.
The resolution said the government had “institutionalised corruption.” It charged it with pressurising the CBI to favour Italian businessman Ottavio Quattrocchi.
It also said that the people were looking for an alternative government.
