Appeasement policy would lead to disintegration of nation: Rajnath Singh

The minority appeasement policy of the Congress-led government at the Centre and the state would only lead to the disintegration of the country, the BJP National President, Mr Rajnath Singh.

Addressing a BJP public meeting in Palakkad, he said that the party was committed to fight this appeasement. The Central government has been playing the communal game even in the defence forces by resorting to headcount on the basis of religion.

In fact, secularism is not appeasement of any religion as practised by the Congress and Left parties but it is treating all religions alike, he said.

Citing the recent blasts in Kozhikode and Varanasi, the BJP leader said that the Muslim appeasement policy had led to a spurt in terrorist activities in the country.

He charged that the UPA government in New Delhi had failed to act in the case of Maniappan, a soldier of the BRO who was killed in Afghanistan by militants, but acted swiftly and effectively in the case of release of Naushad from Saudi Arabia.

Fearing loss of Muslim votes both the LDF and UDF did not come forward for any tie-up with BJP in the Palakkad Municipal Council, he said adding “time is ripe and conditions favourable for the BJP to make it to the State Assembly”.
