BJP Demands 'White Paper'
on Growing Terrorism

New Delhi
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Wednesday demanded a white paper on the growing incidents of terror throughout the country since the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government came to power in 2004.

"The way terrorism has spread under the Congress/UPA government is a matter of serious concern. The government has lit the sparkle of secularism standing on the dump of explosive terrorism," said Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, BJP vice president and former Rampur MP.

"The UPA government should give a detailed explanation of how terrorism has spread all over the country in its three and a half years of their rule and issue a white paper on this," he said.

Naqvi was speaking to newsmen here after visiting the site of the terrorist attack on the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) camp in Rampur in Uttar Pradesh Tuesday.

He had accompanied party president Rajnath Singh to the spot in a chartered helicopter.

About the attack, he said: "These terrorists were not fidyayeen (suicide attackers). None of them was killed or injured and since there is a lot of arms and ammunitions stocked there, they have taken away huge quantity of arms and ammunition with them."

He regretted that the local administration did not allow the helicopter to land near the spot, pleading that the police was still involved in anti-terror operations.
