Vidisha, MP, November 22: BJP leader L K Advani launched a scathing attack against the UPA govt on the ‘authenticity’ of the Malegaon blast probe during a poll-meeting in Vidisha, Madhya Pradesh.

Advani said, "Sadhvi Pragya Singh was arrested on the basis of a motorcycle that was used in the Malegaon blast and subsequently she was kept in the police custody for 16 days in illegal detention. Also, ATS had made a ridiculous disclosure by claiming that the sadhvi and her associates were planning to kill some RSS leaders."

"ATS was making information public and this was being used for political advantage by the Congress which is in power at the Centre," he said.

"I have raised the issue with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh which is related to the affidavit of sadhvi in which she has made very serious allegations against ATS", the BJP leader said.

"The people of India will never forgive the UPA Govt for arresting and torturing Sadhvi Pragya Thakur, Advani said.

The comments came just a day after the National Security Advisor spoke to Advani to explain him the details of the ATS investigation in the Malegaon blast.

Advani also appealed voters to "reward" the BJP government in Madhya Pradesh in the upcoming assembly elections in the state and "punish" the Congress-led UPA government at the Centre in the Lok Sabha polls next year.

"I consider the public of this state to be lucky since it will get an opportunity both for rewarding and punishing governments," Advani said at his maiden election meeting for the November 27 assembly polls in the state.

The people of Madhya Pradesh should reward the Shivraj Singh Chouhan government for its excellent work in the assembly elections and punish the Congress-led UPA government in the Lok Sabha polls to be held about six months later, he said.

Advani said he was of the view that the BJP government in MP would not suffer from any anti-incumbency factor.

During the previous assembly elections in Gujarat, the Congress thought that Narendra Modi would be defeated due to the anti-incumbency factor but that did not happen and Modi emerged victorious, he said.

The BJP leader said that in MP there could be some resentment against the party legislators but all that had been taken care of.

He said that there was great strength in democracy and expressed happiness at the fact that the voting percentage was increasing gradually.

COngress Petty Minded ness and unprofessional ATS by Amit on 23 Nov 2008

For narrow political gains Congress has started a dangerous game , Narco test is gift of Stalin era rest of the civilised world treat narcos test as unscintific barbaric method. ATS is yet to come up with any concrete proof admissible in court for the theories they are floating. In any other country Officers heading probe and leaking details to media before case reaches trial stage would be immediatly dismissed. ATS made childish claim of 60Kg RDX being stolen from Army depot in Devlali and then taken to Jammu personally by Lt. Col. Purohit while MI officers have no acess to ammunition and Army does not use RDX in raw form, Also the kiddish answer such as RDX was thrown in Jhelam river would have invited a court martial but these facts were totally ignored by ATS and media

A Pakistani PM? by Johney on 23 Nov 2008

Mr. Advani had a nice tea and a very friendly meeting with NSA. He had no arguments with them regarding the arrest and all. If he had, he should have raised the issue there and sorted out the matter with them. Instead he is coming to public and making a perfect drama. Politicians should not involve in the investigation. He never speak of the basic need of poor people. If he win, we are going to have a PM who will support only so called HINDUs. The true Hindus will be cheated and he never consider Indians comes before Hindus or Muslims etc. What to do, he too was born in Pakistan.

Advani's speech by Vijay Saini on 23 Nov 2008

The rule of law should prevail. If Sadhavi is guilty, she should be punished. She and Advani claim that she was tortured by ATS. A very simple physical examination by a team of lady doctors can prove if there was a torture. First BJP and Advani disown her totally and now they come out in her defence. The general public knows what is going on? Whom to punish in the coming elections and whom to reward, a common man knows it very well. Just wait for the elections! The forces of disruption, division and fundamentalism have no place in modern India. These people are only creating divisions, while the common man is struggling to meet his daily needs.

BJP encouraging terrorists by Jai on 23 Nov 2008

Advani and BJP is openly supporting and encouraging the terrorists. These right wing politicians are responsible for deaths of many innocent citizens, right from Babri Masjid demolition till date.

Advani's speech and Terrorism by Rajeswar on 23 Nov 2008

It is not worth, in fact, wasting time to write on this ugly old man and his pharisaic comments on the terrorists. He is like a chameleon that changes color according to the background. When it comes to Muslim names he has all the worst of condemnations. When the same act is conducted by the so called Hindus like this sadhvi Pragya singh, he has all words praise and justification. It is high time that such double talking fools are barred from public life. But our famous free press keep publishing any rubbish he and his ilk speaks. This is the height of hypocrisy, and moral degradation. Will India ever have that stature that our founding fathers of the nation, like Gandhi and Nehru envisioned? My earnest request is that the news media should never report any thing that degrades in the speeches and not even comments on the speeches in the news media. They get too much attention otherwise. It is idiotic and stupid. Send them to “vanavas” for the remaining years of life, and save India.

Sadhvi by J.M.Manchanda on 23 Nov 2008

Is Sadhvi above the law? Advani should allow the investigation to be cmpleted and not pre-judge the issue. However, there is merit in his observation that details of investigations should not be made public since they can influence voting. As for the contents of her affidavit, the matter should be probed and if found to be correct, necessary action taken. Advani seems to be

Narcoanalysis to ATS by Ram on 23 Nov 2008

High time Narcoanalysis and Brain mapping is done to ATS to find out who are the political masters who is behind this fooolish, and Barbaric plan.This can happen only in India and only in Congress regime, Slandering our own military and a decorated officer and woman sadhvi. What pakistan cannot do in 50 years of maligning India ATS and congress has done in 30 days. Still dont know why people are voting for them.

Biased government by danendra jain on 23 Nov 2008

Are Hindus being targeted willfully by the government and the Media to keep BJP out of power? Is it justified?When government is completely silent on all other several blasts which occurred in the past and concentrating on Malegaon blast , impression is really like victimization of Hindus for vote bank of Muslims.Govt has every right to punish those who are culprit but they have not right to act with biased attitude. There is no need to show ongoing process of investigation through Media. It not only creates problems in the process of inquiry but also raises doubts on the integrity of investigation. Never in the past could one imagine that entire story will be displayed on TV before an alleged is proved to be criminal in the eye of law. There is no provision to torture a woman even if she is terrorist. Have you ever heard that Abu Salem was tortured like Pragya Sadhwi? Recent blasts which occured at Guwahati , Delhi, Jaipur, Bangalore and elsewhere have been sent in hibernat

Indian Investigative agencies by Rajeev Verma on 23 Nov 2008

Indian Investigative agencies are more of a farce group of people, who should aptly be called " Government gangsters". they decide about the results of an enquiry even before starting the investigation. They make certain bogus allegations without even conducting professsional investigations, arrest a person before the investigation is conducted, take statements under threat and by torturing their preys. And worst of all the onus lies on the victim of these agencies to disprove the allegations, unlike civilised societies, where the onus lies on the investigating agencies to prove their charges. Above all this the courts are generally against the victim of the investigating agencies.And all the bureucrats, politicians and others connected with such processes are corrupt to the core extortionist and terrorist officials taking advantage of their uniform to commit all sorts of human rights violations.

Hypocricy at its best by Raj Kumar on 23 Nov 2008

It is high time we realize the real face of these politicians. Until recently, Mr Advani, BJP and RSS were in favour of taking tough actions against terrorism. Suddenly, they find a Hindu terrorist and feel obliged to take a U turn. What a Hypocrite? Mr Advani - Terrorist don't have any religion. Please let the police and court do the job and punish the guilty. The average educated sensible Hindu's don't have any respect for you.

Playing with Fire and ambiguities of law by Joseph on 23 Nov 2008

Is the Election Commission listening to the misuse of religion by this old sick fellow.He is trying to rake up and build this case to win power, so that when they come back to power they can shelve this case back.Advani and his ilks modus operandi is to make the fullest use of the freedom within the law and ambiguities of the law and play with people's religious affiliations. It is time that we learnt that nationalism is not anything to do with religion and throw this stigma of BJP and RSS out of India into the Arabia Sea.

People will not by Pran on 22 Nov 2008

There is vertical split amomg Hindus and Muslims in our country. Thanks to Congress and now so called UPA for their prolonged actions in this regard. The losers were Muslims and they will be loser at higher rate. As most of the Muslims think that people of other religions are enemies of Muslims and never think of betterment of Muslims. Educated Muslims are no way different from uneducated Muslims. The political parties take advantage of their this weakness or say misconception and show hollow sympathy toward Muslims to win over their votes and nothing more.
