New Delhi, January 25: Intelligence agencies have warned of plans by Pakistan-based terrorists to target BJP president Rajnath Singh after which the Centre has asked Uttar Pradesh government to beef up his security.

According to intelligence inputs, two Pakistani and two Lashkar-e-Toiba militants had reportedly left Jammu on January five to carry out attacks on Singh and senior BJP leader Vinay Katiyar.

The Union Home Ministry has written to Uttar Pradesh government asking it to “review and appropriately strengthen” the security arrangements of both of them to avert any untoward incident from happening, sources said.

Singh, a former Union Minister and Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, has Z+ security with National Security Guard cover while Katiyar has Z+ security in the state.

The intelligence inputs suggested that terrorists may carry out attacks on Singh and Katiyar in Uttar Pradesh or in Delhi at an “opportune time”, a letter sent by Union Home Ministry to Uttar Pradesh government said.

Senior BJP leader L K Advani and Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi are already in the terror hit list and have been provided with tight security and NSG cover in view of the threat perception.

Hatred begets hatred by P.P. TALWAR on 28 Jan 2008

Only to score political mileage, BJP leaders like LK Advani, Narendra Modi, Rajnath singh, Vinay Katiyar are time again blaming the congress led UPA government for being soft on Pakistan based terrorists who have been active even during BJP's six years rule. By communalising politics, BJP stalwarts are inviting more and more enemies comprising fanatic jehadi elements like Al-Quida, Lashkar-e-Toiba from Pakistan against them. As per the adage "hatred begets hatred", it is time BJP leaders had adopted secular outlook, shunning communal stance.

ABOUT PEACE RELIGIONS. by FAISAL on 26 Jan 2008

QURAN IS TEACHING ABOUUT PEACE. AND OFCOURSE ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF PEACE. ISLAM NEVER TEACHES TO KILL INNOCENT. BUT ACCORDING TO ME THOSE WHO ARE ON TERROR HIT LIST WERE NOT INNOCENT. THEY WERE THE KILLER OF INNOCENT PEOPLE. AND HINDUISM ALSO IS AGAINST THE KILLING OF INNOCENT PEOPLE. BUT SOME ARE NOT FOLLOWING THE HINDU RELIGION TRACK. THEY FOLLOWS THEIR OWN TRACK. SO RESPECT ALL RELIGION. RELIGIONS NEVER TEACHES TO KILL ANYONE. JAI HIND MERA BHARAT MAHAN

comments instilling loathe by romesh.sharma on 26 Jan 2008

Here is a person claims to know a Shiv Sainik but certainly never bothered to know his ownself.He/she has to know these SS guys have taken to such destructive actions only to reciprocate and to depict their presence.They too want to be known hrough foul or fair means.Tthe destruction of properties or say hooiganism (goondaGardi)is not the policy of the Party but a ctions of despration and helplessness of few.The BJP leaders do not inject poison in Hindu mind but making them aware of the past venomous policies of Congress through which they have constantly divided the communities and created gaps into ravines.Having nothing to do with politics and respecting all religious systems and philosophies I say and ask is it too much if the Majority (83%)of the nation wishes and aspects from the socalled minorities to respect and recognize their religious and cultural values?How easy its to understand that BJP wants equality which means in return they promise the same to others.Let us not forget the truth that Bharat,which is still official name,is the Land/country of Hindus.Nothing can change India into situation of Pakistan,may it be under congress rule,BJP or anyother Party because the real power will ever remain with the majority which is fully aware and will join without second thought to protect/preserve both the Dharma and the Nation.From the world and language used by some guys stinks of malevolence and trait.Such are people who create anamosity(atleast they try)among people to destabalize the nation.

Threat to Rajnath's life by RJ Khurana on 26 Jan 2008

Why do intelligence organizations give publicity to such reports? What useful purpose do they serve? The right course of action should be to keep tabs on the movements of the suspects and to tighten the security around the PP (Protected persons) and not to run to the press which already has a plethora of scary reports. The present policy of running to the press with the action taken report that the concerned state had been alerted and directed to tighten the security around the PP is nothing more than saving your own skin and claiming if the report comes true,"We had warned you". Besides, reports such as this create panic and the common man is left to rue that all security is for the VIPs and none for the common man.

BJP supremos on terror list---- by romesh.sharma on 26 Jan 2008

Why Rajnath Singh,L k Advani and Narendra Modi are on terror list?The answer is very simple and that is Congress led UPA's policy of appeasement and their message to the world that BJP was/is Hindu Radical Party which is anti-muslims.It day to day propaganda of treacherous Congress against BJP and other political parties which carry sympathy for Hindu religion and are willing to protect their culture.Its the hatered spread by them that misleads others while the truth is just opposite side.The muslim world has to know or say should know that its Congress which is playing this game of hatered and antipathy for its own benefits.To blame is Congress and Communists and ofcourse other power hungry parasites like AmarSingh,Laloo;Mulayam and Mayawati etc.

Hatred and Intolerance contd ... by Jai Hind on 26 Jan 2008

Contd … Remember it was Brahmins (the backbone of Hindu culture) which Aurangzeb tried to destroy by sawing one vertically, burning the second and boiling alive the third. Such level of cruelty of killing is never recorded anywhere in history. The stronger your opponent is the fiercer is the force deployed to destroy it. The British Imperialist-Christian agenda was no less. Read McCauley’s strategy statement he made in British parliament in 1835 to demolish and destroy Indian culture. It was again aimed at demeaning and destroying Indian value system upheld and propagated by Brahmins. Mind you, India would not have been alive today with any of you Hindus including me, but for the Brahmins who showed spiritual strength in its philosophy and the same executed in military strategy by Rana Pratap, Shivaji, Tatya Tope, Mangal Pandey, Bhagat Singh and likes. Finally, I can agree that the Hindu nationalists led by BJP may be more vocal in expressing their emotions, than convincing the nation of their agenda with a rational reasoning, which is also one of the oldest form of Hindu thought, the "Tarka". For sure, I have full hope that this will also get rationalized and matured with time.

Hatred and Intolerance by Jai Hind on 26 Jan 2008

The hub of global hatred and intolerance is Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The wicked manipulation of his dwindling followers when the count came down below 100, Mo ordered looting, killing, raping of the first Caravan. He discovered new way to regroup his followers through the strategy of terror, manipulating his followers through "FEAR and GREED". After killing all innocent men in the first murderous attack on Caravan, excess women were allowed as bounty (greed) as four wives for each of Mo's followers, the rest N (countless) for himself, and children taken as slaves. Rest is history with repetition of this same first event set as example by this murderer for the rest 1400 years of history of its existence. It is the same unfinished agenda of Mo that today's terrorists are sponsored by Saudi Arabia and physically executed by chicken brained volunteers from Pakistan. In contrast, Hindus should open up their minds to understand wealth of Hinduism that it never invaded, forced or expanded itself on anyone in the world, as opposed to Christians and Muslims, who are still pursuing their unfinished agenda. Hindu culture purely focused on knowledge as is demonstrated in its age old scriptures.

Pay the price by Shiv Sainik on 26 Jan 2008

If this is happened, I swear

Pay the price for what? by raj shanti on 26 Jan 2008

What are you swearing at. I know a Shiv Sainik who is a Deputy Shakha pramuk who has a brain tumor. He went to a Shiv Sainik leader of the same area for help to carry out his operation. But that leader refused to help and threw him out of his office. I know so many shiv sainiks who are leaving in pathetic condition in Mumbai where as yr so called leaders are buying Mills after Mills for 350 crores to construct big towers and Malls. Pls come to yr senses and stop running on to the streets destroying valueable infracstructures of the country for yr selfish and Mad leaders. Jai Hind Jai Maharasthra.

Terror hit list by richard on 26 Jan 2008

For their political growth, some leaders take advantage of the religious sentiments of the people. While those who want to establish a Hindu Raj in India consider them as gods, they are feared by others who do not want the religious harmony in India disturbed. In order not to waste our wealth in protecting our religious leaders, let us not make religion a issues and learn to live as Indians treating everyone with same respect we give to the members of our own religion.

Z category security a status symbol by raj shanti on 26 Jan 2008

I agree with Richard. Having a Z category security cover is become status symbol of these mad politicians of India. They are wasting valuable wealth of resources of the country by having the army commondos to protect them. First they create division in the soceity by giving venom like speeches and want them to be protected from the effected lot. Indian politicians are also going Pakistan way by mixing hindiusm with politics creating disharmony and making democracy as sham in India. The indian politicians mainly BJP, Shiv Sena and VHP etc has poisoned the hindu mind so much that even the educated hindus have started speaking the same language of hatred towards the minority community. If this situation continues further then i fear india will also be caught in the same situation as today pakistan is. Jai Hind and Happy Republic Day!!
