Lucknow: The Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) Thursday slammed the Samajwadi Party
government in Uttar Pradesh for its "overzealousness" to please
Muslims.
Taking offence at the state Home Department's move to seek the
views of the Law Department on the status and charges levelled
against terrorists in the state, state president of the BJP Surya
Pratap Shahi accused the Akhilesh Yadav-led SP government "of
playing with national interests."
"By trying to withdraw cases against the perpetrators of henious
bomb blasts in the courts of Lucknow and Faizabad and the bomb
blast at Dashashwamedh Ghat in Varanasi, the state government has
brought minority appeasement to a new low," the BJP leader said.
Blasting the 38-year-old chief minister for emulating his father
Mulayam Singh Yadav, who had tried to revoke the ban on SIMI, the
senior BJP leader said: "The fact that the state government has
announced a grant of Rs.30,000 as education incentive for Muslim
girls and not for girls of other religions smacks of a definite
bias and appeasement for Muslims."
Senior Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Ashok Singhal has also
criticised the state government for trying to appease the Muslim
community at the cost of national security.
