Sonia, Manmohan patrons of terrorists: Dr Swamy

NEW DELHI: Janata Party President Dr Subramainan Swamy has charged that UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh were the defacto patrons of the expanding terrorist activites in India. In a statement released to the press on Tuesday morning, Dr Swamy blamed the Manmohan Singh government for the audacity of the CPI (Maoist) to siege Jehanabad district in Bihar on Sunday night.

The Maoists on Sunday night had struck at the Jehanabad Jail and butchered nine undertrails belonging to the Ranvir Sena . They also freed more than 300 Maoist prisoners from the jail.  

Dr Swamy said the siege of Jehanabad by CPI (Maoist) militants was one more indication that the UPA government’s soft approach to terrorism was threatening India’s national integrity. Dr Swamy charged the UPA government led by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for compromising  the national security since day one.

“The UPA government from day one has been legitimizing all anti-national forces from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, from LeT to LTTE, through ill-advised moves such as negotiating with terrorist groups, providing amnesty to known killers, abolishing anti-terrorist laws, and even in talking about abolishing capital punishment to help the killers of Rajiv Gandhi escape the death penalty.  Hence terrorists have become more and more callous and daring,” Dr Swamy ,a former Union Law Minister, said in the statement.

The Janata Party president pointed out that Sonia Gandhi shocked the Indians by aligning with parties like DMK,PMK and MDMK who  actively advocate the murderous activities of the LTTE, the killers of her husband. “Her past association with PLFP led by terrorist George Habash, the KGB, and Saddam Hussein make it impossible now for her not to patronize the terrorists,” Dr Swami said.

Describing Manmohan Singh as weak and wobbly, Dr Swamy said Singh himself has proved time and again that he is incapable to lead a country like India. “His spinelessness has evoked international pity, and his white washing of his colleagues’ corruption has exposed him as a dissolute person who would sacrifice anything for serving his benefactor, Ms.Sonia Gandhi. Never has India’s international standing fallen so low as now,” said Dr Swami in one of the most hard hitting statements on the UPA  government.

He also said that this was the apt time to form a national patriotic alternative to topple the UPA government.
