Vidya Subranmaniyan in an article, “BJP and the challenges of terrorism,” (The Hindu, November 19) has boldly exposed the dual policy of BJP regarding terrorism. She asserted that, “It can be no rational person’s case that investigation into Islamist terrorism must be meticulous, impartial and transparent but that a wild goose chase is permissible when the suspects are of Hindutva persuasion”.
Truly, Hindutva terror plank has unmasked the BJP and has left the party perplexed just before the election. The people of India at last realised the fact, which they should have understood long before that Hindutva brigade is not the true representative of Hinduism. The Nathuram Godses are hiding their vicious faces behind the curtain of Hinduism and cultural nationalism.
This is the reason that why Togadia and Co. has unleashed a “backlash” to thwart the ATS investigation. All these efforts are against the law and tantamount to hampering the criminal investigations. They must be combated ruthlessly. A thorough investigation must go on in Nanded, Tenkasi, Gadkari and Kanpur blasts to come up now with real masterminds of terrorism in India.
