Sir — This refers to the editorial, “Worst is hopefully over” (June 13). You have rightly concluded that both the Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and senior BJP leader lK Advani should work in tandem, to help the party to regain power in New Delhi, which in the past decade has only witnessed misrule and shameless vote-bank politics.
Indeed, the Congress-led UPA regime has brought the country to such a pass that only a strong and resolute leadership will be able to pull it from the morass of corruption and misrule it has fallen into.
Today, pseudo-secularists in New Delhi find it expedient to flay Mr Modi for the 2002 Gujarat violence, but no one finds it important to raise a voice against the plight of Kashmiri Pandits from the valley, their persecution at the hands of religious fundamentalists and their displacement from their home and hearth. Such is secularism in this country! The BJP in its election agenda must explain vigorously the de-merits of this kind of ‘secularism’, to gain control of New Delhi. Mr Modi has been denounced for all the wrong reasons.
