BJP blames pseudo-secularists for Gujarat's infamy

The BJP on Thursday blamed pseudo-secularists for giving Gujarat a bad name the world over for the unforeseen situation that emerged in the state subsequent to the Godhra train carnage of February 27.

A political resolution passed at the party state executive committee meeting in Ahmedabad said pseudo-secularists have aggravated the pain and misery of the people of Gujarat by their irresponsible statements on the prevailing situation in the state.

The Congress president had gone to the extent of calling the state 'Godse's Gujarat', the resolution moved by senior party leader Vajubhai Vala and seconded by party general secretary Nalin Bhatt, said.

Politicians coming from other states, particularly from Congress ruled ones, had not condemned the Godhra train attack even though it was masterminded by people having links with Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence (ISI).

But these same leaders have not missed any opportunity in flaying Chief Minister Narendra Modi for the subsequent reprisal attacks in some parts of the state, the resolution said.

"The Congress's state unit chief has blamed the Ram sevaks travelling by the ill-fated train for the carnage," it said.

The resolution complimented the administration for successfully holding the state board examinations, the good work done by the home and health departments in containing the spread of violence and outbreak of epidemic in relief camps respectively and for the relief and rehabilitation measures being carried out for the violence-affected people.

The meeting was presided over by state unit president Rajendrasinh Rana.

BJP president Jana Krishnamurthy, vice-president and state in-charge Ramdas Agarwal and Chief Minister Narendra Modi were among those who attended the meeting.
