The JD(U) on Saturday sought a ‘clear’ stand from Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the recent communal flare-up in different parts of the country and said that it will coordinate with non-NDA Opposition against “implementation of any hidden agenda of the Government.”
JD(U) general secretary and spokesman KC Tyagi said his party has decided to raise the question of the communal situation in Parliament. While referring to recent statements of Goa Deputy Chief Minister, tension in Uttar Pradesh and statements made by VHP leaders, said that his party would like to know whether Narendra Modi acknowledges the statements of these leaders.
“JD(U) would like to know from the Prime Minister whether he acknowledges the statements made by Deputy CM of Goa, Ashok Singhal and Praveen Togadia. If not, then he should make his stand clear on these issues so that the nation can be saved from Godhra like incidents,” Tyagi said.
The party expressed concerns over incidents like murder of techie Mohsin Sadiq Shaikh in Pune in June or violence in Kanth area in Moradabad in Uttar Pradesh on July 4 where people were trying to hold a mahapanchayat and now Jalabhishek, and communal violence in Saharanpur. He also expressed concern over statements made by VHP leaders Ashok Singhal, Praveen Togadia and on Goa Deputy CM who called India a Hindu nation.
“In the Parliament PM Modi had made a statement that his Government is for development of the country. He said that for four years we will focus on development and in the 5th Year we will do politics, but on the contrary the Government has already indulged in politics before 60 days,” Tyagi said.
