NSA against Varun a ‘conspiracy’: Advani

Senior BJP leader L K Advani said invoking of stringent NSA against Varun Gandhi was nothing but a political conspiracy.

Senior BJP leader L K Advani on Monday said invoking of stringent NSA against the party’s Pilibhit candidate Varun Gandhi was nothing but a political conspiracy.

“It is a conspiracy by the Uttar Pradesh Government,” Advani told reporters without elaborating much when asked to comment on Varun being charged under the NSA.

The Uttar Pradesh government on Sunday night had slapped NSA against Varun for his alleged hate speech in Pilibhit early this month.

Advani,who was here in connection with an election meeting,said the BJP-led NDA was united with all its allies backing the combine.

L K Advani also called for abolition of vote bank politics,saying it was not good for the nation’s security and development.

“There is no place for vote bank politics in India,which has different castes and religions,because decisions are affected by it. There are some who just don’t take decisions for fear of antagonizing certain sections. That is not good for the security and development of the country,” Advani said.

Addressing an election meeting here in support of party candidate Sudarshan Bhagat,the BJP’s prime ministerial candidate once again criticised the Congress for not carrying out Supreme Court’s order of death sentence on Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru.

“The incident had happened in 2001,the order was pronounced in 2002. And now we are in 2009,but still the order has not been carried out against the conspirator. It would have been carried out had he been an Anand Singh or an Anand Mohan,” Advani said.

He said the UPA government should respect the security personnel who laid their lives during the attack on Parliament and carry out the Supreme Court’s order.
