Notes on recently concluded BJP conclave

“We won’t forget the headless corpse,”
What about Staines and Godhra, Mr. Vajpayee?


Showing the pictures of the headless corpse of Neeraj Misra, a BJP worker allegedly killed and beheaded on behest of few SP workers, in the CD titled Uttar Pradesh Utpirit Pradesh released on the dawn of the 3-day BJP conclave in the State and the reference to it by Vajpayee in his speech showed that the BJP was gearing itself up to attack the law-and-order issue during the 3-year old Mulayam’s regime in UP.
In his speech during party’s national council meet, Vajpayee said: “I must extend my gratitude towards Mulayam Singh for his hospitality,” and went on to add that in spite of that he was not willing to forget the headless corpse of a BJP worker during SP rule.
The CD, released on the occasion of the conclave, has shown people holding the headless corpse. No doubt, the aggravating law and order situation under Mulayam’s rule need to be spelt out but Vajpayee ji did not elaborate whether he had forgotten the cold-blooded murder of Graham Staines at the hands of Bajrang Dal activists and the gruesome killing of more than 2000 people during the violence that erupted consequent to Godhra tragedy in Gujarat about five years ago. Come on Mr. Vajpayee, the country needs to know the answer?
