Is BJP following Congress ?

BJP who has with support of more than two dozen coalition has ruled the country for more than four years.In this era of saffron the party has felt that being purely a saffron outfit may not bring them on national scene.The political outfit of Saffron BJP and its frontal organisation is making public consumption statement show its making an effort to live the congress way.A people of united front with differences but walk in secular way to build a democratic nation must be our efforts to which all our political parties must imbibe.Difference in opionion make ones understand and help in marching forward for the devlopment of country both in political and social structures which help in advancing forward in economical fronts.
Neverthless good beginning by the parties which appears to be radical outfit rather than nationalist outfit and their walking to put on robes of nationalist in broader sense is great beinning.

BJP on 123 agreement:
The BJP today said it was not opposed to a nuclear agreement with the US but wanted the present deal to be redrafted so that there was no restriction on India carrying out atomic tests in future. "We do not basically oppose the nuclear agreement," senior party leader L K Advani said at an ASSOCHAM function here. He said that the BJP was not against securing nuclear fuel from the United States but wanted "the 123 Agreement to be redrafted to insulate India from the Hyde Act". "Our reservation is only on the written word that there should not be any further nuclear tests," the former Deputy Prime Minister added. Advani said even Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had not adhered to the promises made in Parliament regarding the deal. "We had demanded a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) on the deal. Instead, the government decided to form a coordination committee only with the Left parties," he said. On the SEZ policy, Advani said his party supported them as long as they were promoting exports. "They should not be for the betterment of a few people," he said.

Nepal democracy
Terming the resolution by the newly elected Nepal Constituent Assembly declaring the end of monarchy and the turning of the Hindu Kingdom into a secular state as "unconstitutional", the VHP today demanded that India must "speak out" against the move in its own interest.

"The new government is yet to be formed and leaders are squabbling for the President's post even as his powers have yet not been ascertained. Such a resolution being passed without a debate is unconstitutional," Vishwa Hindu Parishad President Ashok Singhal said here today.

Singhal claimed that there was no need for adopting the secular character at a time when over 92 per cent of the Nepali population is Hindu. "They should have at least settled for a symbolic and ceremonial arrangement rather than taking the king out," he said.

The VHP chief also asked the Indian government to "speak out" against the resolution passed on the night of May 28 ending the over 240-year-long monarchy in its own interest.

"The Maoists are working under instructions from China while there are Christians working for American interests in Nepal and converting people. Also, there are reports that over 400 madrasas have mushroomed in the area bordering India," Singhal alleged.

India has open borders with Nepal and the events in Nepal can have serious rammifications for India as well, he added.

"We will be writing to the Indian government and also taking up the issue by holding discussions with Ministry of External Affairs officials," Singhal added.
